CITIZENSHIP IN
u. S. DROPPED
BY COUNTESS

NEW YORK, Dec. II CUP) -
Countess Barbara Won Haugwitz-
Reventlow, the erstWhile Barbara
Hutton whose vast fortune now es-
tomated at more than $45 100000
was piled up on the counters of
Americas five-and-ten stores. has
renounced her American citizen
ship. it was learned today.
The announcement, which ex-
plain the countess hurried one
day visit to these shores-she ar
rived Tuesday and left for London
last night on the Europa-came
just as girl pickets began to parade
before three New York Woolworth
stores, carrying placards decked
with Christmas wreaths and read
ing:
"On strike. Merry Christmas to
you. Help us win a Merry Christ
mas, too"
They are asking an increase over
the minimum pay of $3.50 a week
they earn serving the vast chain
store system which the countess
grandfather, F. w. Woolworth
built up more than a quarter of
century ago.
The countess decision to give up
her birthright in the country where
her money was made was attribut-
ed in tight legal phraseology to
various legal complications" caus-
ed by the fact that her marriage
to Haugwitz-Reventlow, a Danish
nobleman, made her a Danish sub
ject.
The announcement was not made
by the Woolworth heiress, but by
her lawyers.

today-while still excited about her
Washington trip-that she had lost
her job in a night club.
Il don't know where I'm at" she
said. Things been happening too
fast to me in the last couple of
days. l guess the kind of songs
1 sing aren't what they want in

Ruby sang things like I'm Get
ting Sentimental Over You" and
Summertime" earning 500 a
week. When she sang at the White
House Wednesday she was on TOP

her job couldn't dampen all the
enthusiasm for her White House

CITIZENS OPPOSE
JUDGES MEASURE
Conduit Road Group, How
ever, Favors Principle of
Retirement Pay.

Although approving the principle OF
retirement pay for judges of the Po-
lice. Municipal and Juvenile Courts,
the Conduit Road Citizens Associa-
ton last night opposed the present
House bill granting retirement pay.
Several features were opposed by the
Association, specifically those granting
one-hslf and one-third pay after IL
and 10 years service. AS an alterna-
tive the association proposed that
Judges be put on the same system OF
retirement that governs District and
Federal employees and that they con-
tribute part of their salary to the re-
tirement fund.
The proposed K street viaduct as a
traffic diversion route through George
town received approval of the group.
Ellis r. King, chairman of the Streets
and Highway Committee, which in
troduced the resolution favoring the
proposal, declared that although it
would cost more than several alterna-
tive routes, at the same time it would
be more effective in decreasing con-
gestion and would be more desirable
from a scenic and efficiency point of
view.
CloverIeaf Traffic Turn.
Traffic across the Key Bridge would
be taken care Of by a cloverleaf turn,
he said
The transfer of Gallinger Hospital
and the tuberculosis Sanatorium from
the Board of Public Welfare to the
Public Health Service and the transfer
of certain Fairgrounds on, adjacent to
or near school property from the
Playground Department to the Com
rnunity Center Department, as pro-
vided in the District appropriation
bill now before Congress, was approved.
Several other features of the appro-
priation bill were opposed, however.
The association asked that funds for
the continuation of the Office of peo-
PIES counsel be carried in the bill and
that he be supplied with assistants.
Water Rate Reduction.
1t opposed the removal of the IS
per cent water rate reduction and
asked that water meters be installed
IN homes in Potomac Heights which at
present do not have them.
An increase in gasoline taxes unless
funds are needed for construction and
repair and diversion of proceeds from
this tax was opposed
Several proposed commercial truck
4ag routes through the associations
area we're approved with the exception
o. one along Chain Bridge road and
Canal road. 1t was thought that this
route was too narrow and had too
r1any turns to be effectively used for
such purposes.
The association backed a request
made by citizens committee that
Federal funds be sought for the relief
Of District unemployed employables.

failure to join us in rebelling against
George III, and their heirs did not
Give M hopes of effecting union be-
tween the United States and Canada
for many years.
At one time, a strenuous propaganod
campaign designed ii win Canadian
svmpathies to a union was carried on,
and what is now the oldest newspaper
ir Canada was established with Anne
rican money to further this propa-
ganda. In, 1924, attempts were MADE
to effect a union by conquest.
But only once has there ever been
Al attempt from within Canada to ad-
We. a merger of the two nations.
T.. was exactly a century ago this
vea.. when Louis Joseph Paplneau,
leader of the patriots War against
British rule in Canada, sought to gain
the American governments support
for his movement. One hundred years
ago today the steamer Caroline was
fired and sent over Niagara Falls IN a
spectacular attempt to bring ABOUT
American intervention that would lead
to annexation. 1t was Pap-nedu
hope that if Canada were annexed by
the U. S., the French population would
be able to set up States in which they
could rule themselves.
Papineau took refuge in the U. S.
and directed the revolt from here
after the first shots. When the rebel
lion failed he fled to Paris, where, he
lived until he had won amnesty. Then
he returned to Canada, got himself
elected to the Quebec parliament, and
began agitation for Canadian indie
pendence. Thus he escaped punish
ment, as did jefferson Davis and Rob
ert E. Lee, for leading a civil war
against his national government.
After his exile had ended, Papineau
wrote of the revolt: The smallest sue

have induced the American govern
