LITTLE E. CHERRICKS
DROWNS IN WATER TIN

Mothers must have courage. No
one knows that better than Mrs. Ev-
elyn Cherricks, of Chincoteague, Va,
for it took something to carry the
load when Mr.. Cherricks died and
there were three small boys to be
shaped into men, and until Tuesday
afternoon last, dimpled Is months
old sprite of girl, peggy" to work
for and to Groom over and wash and
hear gurgle with baby happiness.
Mrs. Cherricks' heart was light last
Tuesday afternoon as she hung out
the last basket of wash in the yard.
It was a good drying day and Peggy
was in the house, maybe in some sort
of mischief, but ready to rush out-of-
doors with uncertain feet toward her
mother.
She was very quiet. Perhaps she
had dropped off to sleep, the mother
thought as she pinned the last gar
ment on the line and moved briskly
into the house to find death had crept
in ahead of her.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-05-20

Peggy was quiet because her busy
little feet had carried her to a lard
tin filled with cold rinse water and
she had pitched head downward into
it.
Frantically the mother snatched
the little sodden form to her breast
and rushed out calling for help.
Neighbors and Coast Guardsmen ans
wered her summons and all that could
be done to bring the spark of life
back was tried while the mother sob
bed and prayed and hoped.
Peggy, who had been christened
Margaret" was buried Thursday last
in Mechanics Cemetery. Rev. Abbott
conducted the brief service while
three small boys, whose puzzled eyes
rove from fresh turned earth to their
mothers face, stood by.

D. c. SEAT SOUGHT
BY D'ALESANDRO
Victor Over Pa|misano Is
Anxious to Serve on

BY JAMES E. CHINN.
Star Stan Correspondent.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. IL
Thomas DAlesandro, 34-year-old
Baltimore city councilman, who de-
feated Representative Vincent L.
PalmiSano for the Democratic nomi-
nation from Maryland's third Con-
gressional district on the basis of COM
plete but unofficial returns. said today
he would seek an appointment to the
House District Committee if he is
elected to Congress in November
The removal of Mr. Palmisano, now
chairman of the committee, would
leave vacancy Mr.. D'Alesandro said
he would like to f1ll-not the chair
manship, of course. but in the COM
mittee personnel.
Representative Ambrose Kennedy,
for whom D'Alesandro works as an
insurance salesman, Is slated to pe.
come chairman of the committee upon
Mr. Palmisano's retirement. Mr..
Kennedy, who won . decisive victory
in his campaign for renomination, mas
not decided definitely, = however.

the District Committee or rtmAin at
the head of the more important Claims
Committee House rules forbid a

mittee Craftsmanship.
Wants Place.
If I'm elected to the House in
November to succeed Mr.. Palmisano," :"
said Mr. D'Alesandro. Il will make an
effort to get assigned to the District
Committee. not because I would re-
place Mr.. Palmisano on that commit
tee, but because I believe that is an
assignment I would like and could
fill satisfactorily. As a member of
the Baltimore city council I have had
some experience with municipal af-
fairs, and I believe I would fit in
better on that committee in my early
days in the House than any other
committee.
I'm not, of course, familiar with
the municipal problems of Washing
ton. but I think. if I applied myself
to them, it would not take long for me
to become a useful member Of the
committee"
BY a thin margin of 48 votes Mr.
D'Alesandro apparently has unseated
Representative Palmisano, veteran of
10 years service in the House. The
District Committee chairman. how
ever, refuses to concede defeat until
the election canvassers make an off,
cial check Of the records on the voting
machines tomorrow and announce
their verdict.
Sees Possibility Of Mistake.
Voting in my district was in 4
state of confusion from the time the
polls opened Monday until they
closed" declared Mr. Palmisano. while
the unofficial record may show lost
the nomination by 4S votes, the mar
gin is too small for me to accept de-
feat now. I'm not going to take 1t
lying down. There is, Of course, the
possibility that q mistake has been
made somewhere along the line"
Representative Palmisano was a de-
jected man, however, when he made
that statement. He knew during the
primary campaign he had fight on
his hands in opposing Mr.. D'Alesandro,
but he never expected the insurance
man to defeat him, or even come close
to it.

-Four Takoma Park (Md) children
who were left alone when their parents
were arrested yesterday at Railway,
N. j.. on narcotic charge were being
provided with kindly care today by
the same agency that kept the father
and mother away-the law.
The three girls and their little BROTH
er mystified by the sudden disappear
ance Of their mother and father were
fed, clothed and comforted by two
Takoma Park policemen and the wife
Of one of the ministering officers.
Edward Kern, 80, and his wife,
Elizabeth. 81, Of Wabash avenue,
were in custody in the New Jersey
town. charged with attempting to
smuggle marihuana from New York
to Maryland.
A quarrel between the couple pre-
cipitated their arrest, according to the
Associated Press. Motor cycle Police
man Richard Weishaupt said his at
tention was attracted by Mr.. and Mrs
Kern quarreling In their parked auto
mobile and that he saw Mr. Kern
slip from the car and hide a small
quantity Of marihuana weed in an
adjoining field when the officer ap-
preached to determine the trouble
The policeman declared the wife
made statement admitting she and
her husband had been running mari
huana from New York to Maryland
and had found on their arrival in
New York on yesterdays trip that an
expected shipment was not ready, and
had started back hoEle with a small
portion of previous shipment still
in their car. Police turned the couple
over to Federal authorities.
Takoma Park police said they also
found q small quantity of the "reefer"
weed secreted in the modest but COM
Portable two-story frame house at 9
Wabash avenue in which the children
were left.
The plight OF the Kern children
Betty, 8, Phillis, 8; Barbara, S, and
Eddie, 5--was discovered after police
Of the suburban city learned that the
parents had been arrested.
They found Betty mothering the
little brood, wondering why her mother
and father stayed away. but bravely
facing the situation, whatever it was
She explained that the parents went
away Monday night, promising to re-
turn Shortly
When they didn't come back yes
terday, Betty decided the kids had
better stay away from their classes at
the East Silver Spring School. She
found a little cereal and q few other
scraps of food.
But by last night Betty's charges
were getting a little desperate, and she
was relieved when Policemen c. E.
Thomas and c. O. Seek appeared and
asked how they were getting along.
Then Mrs. Thomas arrived. helped
Betty dress the younger children and
cooked fine breakfast today, consist
ing of cereal, scrambled eggs and
bacon.
The blond, handsome children still
awaited the return Of mother and
father confidently. They gathered from
the police that something untoward
had happened, but they didn't feel,
from the attitude of the officers that
1t was anything too serious.
"1nky," the black cat, was not for
gotten.
The two guardian policemen were
trying to arrange with the Montgom-
cry County probation authorities at
Rockville to place the children in q
boarding home pending the disposition
of the case against the parents.
/ Meanwhile, seeing that the children
and the cat were well fed and con-
tented was the officers self-appointed

ury, and legal adviser to the Amer
lean Embassy in Mexico during
Dwight Morrow's mission of con-
ciliation. In 1880 Mr.. Rublee was an
adviser to the American delegation
at the London Naval Conference,
Of which Senator Morrow was q
member.
Kurt Sell, Washington representa-
tive of the official Germany News
Bureau, entertained a group Of his
American and foreign colleagues at
a holiday cocktail and buffet supper
party. BY the irony of fate, the
date fell on December %, almost
coincident with the exact hour when
Acting Secretary of State Wells was
giving German Charge d'Affaires
Thomson merry hell over the Ickes
| incident. Not only that, but Herr
Sells soiree had been postponed
from November IA, because that
happened to be the day President
Roosevelt announced the recall of
Ambassador Wilson from Berlin.
Herr Sell, who has been in Wash
ington for several years, enjoys the
confidence and respect of all his
American newspaper co-Workers. It
is the understanding among them
that he's never been officially identi-
fled with the Nazi party.
Speaking of foreign correspond
ents, the young Japanese, Masuo Ka-
to, who Is washington correspondent
OF the official Toxic news agency,
Domei, recently gave a superb ex-
hlbition of the sang froid of his race
under fire. He was seated at the
speakers table, at which the guest
of honor presently discoursed with
amusing and amazing frankness
upon certain political and economic
conditions in Japan. Although some
OF the revelations came home pretty
directly to Mr. Katos superiors and
associates, he laughed as merrily as
anybody IN the room at the fusillade
OF wiSecracks and disclosures.
Through the more serious obser-
vations of the speaker, the japanese
Journalist, who got his university
training and perhaps his ability to
take it" at the University of Chi
cago, was as imperturbable as
Buddha.
1t was recently pointed out In this
place that Senator -elect Robert A.
Taft of Ohio is a member of the
third family to be prominent in
both the legislative and executive
branches of the Government. Mr..
H. L. Stallard of the Temple Hill
High School at Castlewood, Va,
drops line to say that Mr.. Taft
will be the first son of a President
to hold a seat in the Senate. Sons
OF Presidents, Mr.. Stallard observes,
have served in the House, but q
careful search of White House biog-
raphies reveals that prior to Taft's
election to the Senate last month,
no son of President had ever been
sent to the upper branch of Con-
gress."
