Thus ended the lives of two gentle
born Virginians. direct descendants of
Patrick Henry. who during their last
80 or more years tucked away more
than $4,000 saved from money given
them by relatives, relief societies and
fraternal organizations.
Their unusual lives were brought to

from the Southern Relief Society, one
OF the contributors toward the welfare
OF the aged spinsters. went to visit
them in their fiat at 512 Second street
NV. and found the pair in bed with
serious injuries.
Currency Is Discovered.
After the sisters were sent to GAL
linger, member of the committee,
while tidying up the apartment, dis
covered an envelope stuffed with cur
rency. Further search revealed the
remainder of the money.
The sisters were not informed i'm
mediately of the discovery of their
secret" for fear the shock would
prove too great. They lay in beds a
few feet apart and posed willingly for
peWs photographers, whom they
Thought 80 nice to want our pictures. :"
They finally were told of the discovery,
but were too i'll to grand permission
for its use for special nursing.
Both fingered on the verge of death
Tor several weeks. Roberta finally inn
proved and was in condition to leave
the hospital, but refused to be sepa-
rated from her sister, whom she knew

won't have to suffer any more"

At the Sacred Heart Home, where
she was taken March l, she had been
up and about, laughing and chatting
with friends and relatives who visited
her, though she constantly referred to
Olivia and the enjoyment she would
get If she were only here"
Yesterday she appeared in good
spirits and was talking freely with her
cousin, Mrs. B. A. Marshall of Hyatts-
vile. She asked for a sip of water
and took 1t from a sitting position in
bed. Suddenly she slumped over. Her
heart had ceased to function.
Before her death, she had made a
will, which was filed, relatives said in

WOMAN SHOPPERS
BACK MATTRESSES
Organization Supports Pickets in
Labor Dispute at Hotel
HARRINGTON.

Support Of the Washington League
OF Women Shoppers for discharged
mattresses now picketing the Harring-
Ton Hotel was announced today BY
Mrs. Charles w. Collier, member of
the board of directors of the league.
z Mrs. Collier said representatives of
the league had conferred with the
Motel management and with ofYlcials
OF The Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Alliance, to which the waitresses be-
long.
omciais Of the union, afliliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
have claimed the discharges were
ordered in an effort to break the
union membership in the hotel. The
hotel management contends the women
were discharged and replaced BY men
on grounds Of economy. arising out
Of the necessity Of abiding by q mini
mum wage scale set for women workers
In local hotels.
In either case, Mrs. Collier explained,
the league feels that the discharges
were unjustifAble, pbinting paTticu-
larly ct the very sbad precedent
which might be set for nullifying
effects Of the District Minimum Wage
Law for Women.
Mrs. Mordecai Ezekiel Is president
Of the league, which has about 500
active members In Warrington.

Copelor'd's Last Days Aided
Doctor, Nazis' Ex.Prisoner

One Of Senator Copeland's last Off
cial acts before his death last night
will make 1t possible for DR.. Sigfried
Speyer, late Of Nazi concentration
camp, to practice medicine in the Dis
trict Of Columbia
Late on Tuesday, the day before the
Senator was stricken, the private bill
overriding the legal technicalities
that stood in the way Of the doctors
license, returned to the Senate with
an amendment offered in the House.
Despite the pressure of imminent
adjournment, the Senator saw to il
that the bill was passed so DR.. Speyer
would not have to wait another six
months or more before returning to his
profession.
DR.. Speyer's plight was brought be-
fore the Senator in March. He was
told that the doctor, for Is years an
eminent obstetrician and gynecologist
in Germany, had left his homeland
late in 1896 after a term in a concen-
tration camp. He knew what DR..
Speyer had been president of Berlin
Medical Society. had had his own
hospital and because the doctor had
sought to aid some of his colleagues
who had fallen into Nazi hands, he
had been sent to concentration camp
and afterward had seen his practice
dwindle.
Delay Creates Technicalities.
The legal technicalities, the Senator
was told, were caused. because the
doctor had delayed six months in filing
his application for a license and be-
cause there was no reciprocity OF
medical licenses between Germany and
the District. -
- Knowing the doctor f1ad spent those
six months in an Americanization
school learning the English language
so he would be better qualified to prac-
tice here, the Senator Immediately

DR.. Speyer was ready to admit defeat.

doctor said today. "and ! knew the

the doctor made certain to be present

the Senate concurred with the amend.

CONGRESS- RECORD
Sees Bitter FuIfi|Iment' of
Warnings Against New
Deal Policies.
Hy the Associated Press,

Republican leaders denounced Con-
gress yesterday for adjourning while
the country was in the throes of "a
severe economic crisis" and accused
administration leaders OF determined
efforts to :change the American form
of Government"
Senate Minority Leader McNary and
House Leader Smell issued a joint
statement declaring the first duty Of
the National Legislature should have
been to remain in session "and adopt
measures to alleviate the paralysis Of
business"
Asserting proposals of the House and
Senate Republicans and their warn
ings of the dangers inherent in many
New Deal policies" had either been
ignored or ridiculed," the statement
said
1T is with the keenest regret and
fulfillment of the warnings we have
issued. The planned Roosevelt re-
covery has, as we warned, become the
Roosevelt depression" -
Fallacious Policies Hit.
The minority leaders charged that
the increase in unemployment to more
than $4,000, 900 persons and he"tail-
spin" Of farm, commodity and security
prices resulted directly from the fall
lacious policies and inefficient admin
istration of the New Deal
These results could have been
avoided" they said, had the New
Deal accepted the remedial measures
proposed, especially during the last ID
months, by the Republicans of the
House and Senate.
Instead, the time of this Congress
has been dissipated in determined
efforts by administration leaders to
change the American form of govern
ment through Supreme Court packing
and so-called governmental reorgan-
ization schemes. Stubbornly, the
President and his advisers have re-
fused to admit the error of their
policies, even as the house of cards
they built falls apart around them"
List Opposition Policies.
The Republican spokesmen listed 10
proposals for which they had fought,
sometimes successfully, during the ses-
sion. Among these were repeal of the
undistributed profits tax, modification
Of the capital gains tax, balancing of
the Federal budget through elimina-
tion of waste and through equitable
taxation, return of relief administra-
tion to the States. revision of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act to "end
the present wasteful and disruptive
discord between employer and en-
ploye."
I'm brief, the Republicans of House
and Senate have fought to bring about
sound, lasting revival of American
industry and business" the statement
said, believing this is the only means
whereby farmers can find markets at
fair prices for their crops workers Jobs
at living wages and consumers a better
standard of living"
Asserting that was the Republican
program, the minority leaders said
they remained pledged to fight for its
adoption and would continue that
fight unremittingly when we return to
Washington in greatly increased num-
bers."
