A sober-eyed youngster. Shirley
goes to kindergarten at Dent School.
Her older sisters and brothers are
always ready to help her, but, as
her father says, Shirley wants to
do things for herself. She leads as
normal a life as a Child can whose
comparisons run while she walks.
For Shirley and the scores of
other Washington youngsters marked
by the paralyzing after effects of
infantile paralysis the physiotherapy
and occupational therapy clinics of
Children's Hospital mean hope for
the future, hope that years of mas
sage and corrective braces will ward
of permanent disability.
To keep those clinics going funds
are needed, funds that are raised

BOSTON, Jan. A.-Thomas Z.
Dewey, candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, headed
Down East" today to look over
Names political barometer. having
keynoted his swing through New
England with an attack upon New
Deal fiscal policies.
The administration, the New York
district attorney declared at Z mass
meeting in Boston last night,
Stands condemned because its poll
cies have prevented the employment
Of 100000 Americans Who want to
work"
He charged the New Deal with
"maladuinistration," commended its
fiscal policies were "unbridled and
spendthrift." and said it was "fos-
tering defeatist attitude on the
whole subject of our economic fu-
ture."
ITO be sure" he asserted In the
third major address of his campaign,
seven years of maladministration in
Washington have temporarily held
back the growth of our country. But
I deny that the American people are
finished. America is at the morning
of its destiny"
Administration ''Toe Tired"
In opening his attack upon New
Deal spending policies, he asserted
that 1T is perfectly plain that the
administration is too tired to do
anything about its budget" And as
he came to the end of his prepared
address, he added:
"Only q new broom can sweep
clean the budgetary litter of the
New Deal"
The lawyer from Michigan, who
rose to national prominence as a
racket buster" in Manhattan.
maintained that Ca in its first
responsibility to the men and women
seeking livelihood. the New Deal
has utterly and completely COL
lapsed."
Here is the first duty of the ma
tional administration which will
succeed the New Deal next jan
uary," he said. 1T must again re-
lease the energy of private enter
prise to transform unemployment
into employment, relief into jobs"
Mr.. Dewey maintained that the
Federal Government was spending
$17,5OO every minute, but was taking
in only IS cents for every dollar
spent.
Sees Opportunity Denied.
He said that even waste of
money is not the greatest offense of
this administration. The crime of
the New Deal is its deniel of human
opportunity to millions of people"
In this connection, he maintained
that there had been q startling"
decline in marriage, a drop of Is
per cent in 1898 as compared with
the period of 1922 to 1928.
"One out of every four young
couple who would normally have
married has been denied that op-
portunity by economic conditions
for which the administration must
be held responsible" he said. =
Mr.. Dewey declared the seven
lean" years have made it impos-
slble for ANY administration" to
balance the budget overnight" and
added that we are not going to
economic at the expense of the
unemployed or the aged"

There is no justification for tying

The Congressman, former Mayor

commissioners had inadequate snow

make an immediate appeal to Con-

Many Workers Late.
Inquiries made at the offices of
the chief clerks OF several govern

Those who came into the city
during the morning rush from near

those who lived in town. City traf-
fic was impeded by the hundreds
who left the uncleared sidewalks to
walk in the streets.
But traffic from the suburbs was
just plain snarled. Lines stretched
solidly for blocks along such streets
as Fourteenth-where traffic was
tied up from Pennsylvania avenue
to the water front at times.
School buses were stalled on rural
roads. Prince Georges County
schools declared a holiday, although

Six-year-old Shirley Davis doesn't
like anybody to help her. She can
even strap her steel leg braces on
herself.
Shirley was 3 years old when she
and her five brothers and sisters
went out to Indiana for the sum-
mer.
One hot Saturday Shirley's mother
and father went into town to shop,
leaving her in the car. When they
returned she was lying on the back
seat, feverish and hstless.
The first doctor her parents took
her to couldn't discover anything
wrong with her, but Z few days
later the doctor knew. Shirley's
parents knew, too. Their baby had
lost the use of her left leg and arm.
She had infantile paralysis.
She suffered intense pain for two
weeks" her father, . Navy Yard
machinist, recalled. "She was in
the hospital for six weeks, first in
Indiana, then at Gallinger, and
finally at Ohildren's Hospital"
Now Shirley, her left leg rigid in
brace, reports regularly to the
Children's Hospital physiotherapy
clinic for massage. She also likes

It's an old American custom-the
colder the weather the hotter it
becomes as a conversation piece.
When the mercury does a ma
tional nose dive, people get into
discussions and arguments which
lead to wagers and wrangles.
The Weather Bureau Is, of course,
the last court Of appeal for all
climatic disputes.
Right now the raging question is:
What is the lowest temperature
ever recorded in the United States,
when was it registered. and where
was it registered?
The answer is: 66 degrees below
