This is simply because Indias teeming millions
are held under control by a comparative handful
of foreign troops. Therefore it would be silly Tor
the Communists to attack national defense in
India. Instead, drive for all natives to be en-
rolled, with rifles and ammunition. Then the
handful of foreign troops can soon be externni-
mated by sheer weight of numbers, if needs be, by
Communicated natives.
But with the United States the picture is diff
ferent. Here the internationale policy is epito-
nnized in the slogan:
mot one penny for military service!"
Privately, however the Bolshies know very well
they couldn't hope to extinguish the military serv-
ices. So Communists are instructed to join the

CHURCH FIGHTS

Proposal for establishment Of a

culosis Hospital at Thirteenth and

vigorously opposed today by q
board of trustees of a church To-

from the hospital, in a letter 70

clared the neighborhood is first

BUDGET INCLUDES PLAN
Transfer of the ward to the
former tuberculosis Hospital.
which was abandoned when the
T. B. patients were removed to
the new tuberculosis Sanitarium
at Glenn Dale, is provided for in
the District budget reported to
Congress yesterday.
The letter, written by j. Nelson
Anderson, secretary of the board
of trustees of the church, stated:
Public spirited citizens have
eXerted their efforts for long
time to have this hospital re-
moved and now, after the
patients have finally been trans
ferred to Glen Dale, the pro-
poSal comes forth to place
something even more objection
able in it's place."
OTHER OBJECTIONS
Other reasons advanced by the
church for it's objections were that
the health of children attending
three schools in the neighborhood
would be endangered by the prox-
unity of such a hospital, and that
young people would not be safe on
the street after dark.
The church board admitted that
Gallinger needs relief from over.
crowded conditions, and urged
that a building for convalescents
be constructed on the Gallinger
Hospital grounds. It further rec.
commended that the T. B. Hospital
site be used for a recreation center.

3 D. c. HOLDUPS
REVEAL SLUMP.
IN CRIME WAVE.
Car Waits AS Trio.
Robs Liquor Store

Washington's extended Grim e
wave begged down considerably
overnight as police today recorded
three holdups and a few minor
thefts as the only activities Of
criminals.
Most serious offense was the
$3.50 holdup of a liquor store at
43 H st. N. E., by a quartet of
colored men. With trained pre-.
cision, three of the men, armed
with revolvers, marched into the
store operated by Leon Pappas
shortly before midnight.
Two of them, with revolvers,
took positions on either side of
the entrance. The third held
Pappas and his son, Christopher,
at bay. The robbers obtained 500
and a relief check made payable
to Mrs. Moses" from the cash
register, $3.50 and gold watch
from the elder Pappas' pockets.
CAR WAITS AT CURB
Rushing from the store, they
escaped in a black touring car,
driven by an accomplice, which
had been waiting at the curb with
motor running.
Shortly after 5 a. m. today, two
armed white men held up Paul
w. Stout, gasoline filling station
manager, in his office at Wis
consin Ave. and Q st. N. w. While
one held a revolver against Stout's
back, the other looted the cash
drawer of $3.50. They escaped
in an antiquated automobile,
which Stout said had a defective
muffler.

Fourteenth st. and Florida Ave.

surplus of cash beyond the amount allowed deposit in local banks.
 In January, when he took office, Controller Rowland called forth the charter provision making it man. datory" that city money be deposit ed in Waterbury banks. Thus, he brought back from the Bank of Manhattan large sum which had been left there at the time the loan was made, following earlier prec- edent required by the bank that some funds be left on deposit.
 Banks Refuse
 Finance board members were at 8 loss to understand how the con- troller was able to "re-interpret" the charter to allow city funds to go to 8 Hartford bank. Some of the board remarked that the Hartford bank didn't want public funds, had re- fused state deposits, because of the non-profit aspect of such deposits.
 The Waterbury banks are restrict ed by statute from being depositaries of public money beyond certain percentage of their capital re- sources.

Somehow--and that's the mys- tery-the picture got into Austria Thence it trayeled to London, and there got into legitimate newspic- ture channels and came to the United States as an authentic pie ture of Hitler as an infant. How did the picture get to Austria? Who was the culprit? Someone knows the answer, but he's not telling.
 Johnny's mother, now Mrs. Carl Downs, found out about her sons part in the mixup just the other day when she saw the Hitler ver- sion" of her baby's picture reprint ed in magazine. She can't explain 1t. All she knows is that the pie ture was taken when the family lived in Westport, Conn.,, and in the same manner that millions of other proud parents have pictures taken of their young hopefuls.
 In any event Johnny is a right handsome boy now, and certainly doesn't bear any resemblance to the Nazi Fuehrer. And if people will just forget about the Hitler busi- ness, Johnny vill be happy.

 Cleveland, May 2.-Freckle- faced | Johnny Warren is getting pretty tired of the kids raging him about Adolf Hitler.
 He wishes his schoolmates would just forget about the picture which sent Der Fuehrer into a sputter- | ing rage five years ago, and which still remains the center of an in- ternational mystery.
 Here's how 1t all happened: In 1883 a photograph purporting to be that of Hitler at a very early age was widely published in the United States. The baby in the picture wasn't a pretty baby. In fact, he looked most terrifying brat-obviously a very tough cus- toner at a very early age.
 Herr Hitler was made very un- happy by the picture, because it really wasn't Baby Adolf at all. The German government obtained 8 true picture of Hitler as baby and sent it over here to be pub lished. The newspapers all said they were sorry, but they didn't know how it happened or the identity of the baby whose picture they had published.
 Now it has been discovered who the baby waS-none other than John May Warren, now husky 8-year-old who lives in Lake wood, suburb of Cleveland. It was a picture of Johnny at 2 years of age which had been pub lished as that of Baby Hitler. But the picture wasn't the real Johnny.
 Someone, identity unknown, had obtained a picture of baby Johnny with his pudgy face all screwed up as he squinted into the sun. Then, that same somebody had retOuched the snapshot so that Johnny's baby ish squint was turned into diabol- ,rIN
