Washington public links golfers
deserve better golf than they now
have Under the system of leas-
ing the golf courses to profit-making
operators. in the business for the
money they can make out of it,
there does not seem much chance
for improvement. The East Poto-
mac Park course, best of the public
layouts in Washington. has seen
the parade of progress pass by.
Other Leoffler enterprises. CEN
tered at East Potomac Park, include
a miniature course, crowded day
and night in the summer; an ex-
tensive driving range, and grass
practice putting green. Mr.. Loeff1er
has other golf interests. He operates
the Annapolis Roads Country Club
and formerly he operated the Seven
Pines course at Richmond and the
Marble Hall course in Philadelphia.

Fort Hunt. AS yet it is hardly be-

Gross income from the 36-hole
golf operation at East Potomac Park
last year, according to official figures,
was $98,566. The driving range gross
income was $22,102, and the minia-
ture golf course-a profitable opera
tion-showed gross income of $18,-

In other words golf operations at
East Potomac Park during the cal

Many Washington public links golf
ers wonder why the courses are not
operated on a non-profit-making
basis, which presumably would per-
nit more expenditure for upkeep
and improvement of the links.

Are you going to the party at the
Morgue?
Washington society may not be
agog today over the receipt of in
vitations to attend the dedication
and formal opening of the Districts
fine new Morgue on the grounds of
Gallinger Hospital, but a great
many of those receiving the invi-
tations might be said to have been
taken-well, aback. For how does
one celebrate the dedication of a
new Morgue? Should it be tails
and a white tie or should the color
lean toward black?
The problems of those who attend
as guests, however, is hardly COM
parable with that faced by the
distinguished speakers - including
Commissioner McCoach, represent
ing the Commissioners: Maj. Brown,
superintendent of police; United
States Attorney David Pine and H.
H. Clegg, assistant director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
For what does one say at the dedi-
cation of a new Morgue?

President CongratuIates
Brazil on independence

The attainment of independence
by Brazil without bloodshed is a
lesson to "the less fortunate people"
who do not enjoy freedom. Presi-
dent Roosevelt said in a letter to
President Vargas of Brazil, made
public today.
The letter, felicitating Brazil on
commemoration of the 5Oth ami
versary of the Brazilian Republic,
was delivered to President Vargas
yesterday by Maj. Gen. Delos c.
Emmons, who commanded a flight
of United States Army bombers to
Rio de Janeiro
"It is tribute to the Brazilian
nation and its leaders that the COM
plete independence of your country
was attained by patient adjustment
and without bloodshed," Mr.. Roose-
welt wrote THE less fortunate
people who today do not enjoy in
dependence and freedom can take
courage from the lesson in tolerance
that your people have given to
mankind"
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to the
traditional friendship of this cosn-
try and Brazil, remarking that it is
based on mutual respect and the
New World principle which affirms
the right of peoples to work out
their destinies without foreign in
reference"

The task is obviously one which
calls for certain delicacy, for words
rejecting the enthusiasm over
progress, etc, which flow so easily
at ordinary dedicatory exercises,
must be suitably restrained on this
occasion. There were some raised
eyebrows, incidentally, over the lack
of representation, in the speakers
list, of the Medical Society.
During the program for Tuesday
evening, according to tentative plans,
there will be demonstration of the
Morgue's new precision instruments,
such as comparison microscopes. and
a photograph exhibit showing differ
ent types of injuries. The Morgue
will be open to the public from 2
to 4 o'clock in the afternoon and
from g. to 10 pm. Capt. Person,
Assistant Engineer Commissioner,
will present keys to the building.
The principal speaker is yet to be
secured, but it is understood he will
be a man eminent in this sort of
work.
