A unique collection Of relics illus
trating the strange and romantic
history of the cross will be placed
on display for the first time at
Washington Cathedral next Sun
day.
The exhibit is valued at a million
dollars and includes more than so
rare and ancient crosses fashioned
from gold. silver. crystal. wood,
enamel and precious stones. The
emblems were collected from many
quarters of the world.
Included are two tiny. rock crys-
tai crosses containing splinters Bit
ten from section of the true cross
by Crusaders in Jerusalem The
Crusaders extracted slivers Of wood
kiss the holy relic.
Another valued item is a small
Portuguese silver cross said to have
been given to Columbus by Qneen
Isabella for presentation to converts
among the people of the New
World. The cross. according to
legend, remained in one Indian
family for centuries. Experts say
the design of the relic bears out
the legend of its origin.
The collection represents the life
long efforts of the late Mrs James
T. Leavitt of Washington and Bos-
ton. who presented it to the Cathe-
dral in 1925 in memory of her hus-
band. The relics have been brought
from the Cathedral vaults and pre-
pared for presentation to the public
in the North Transept of the Ca
thedral following next Sundays
thirty-third anniversary service of
the laying of the corner stone. The
display will remain on view until
Z pm.
Many crosses bear evidence of the
love, skill and patience which early
craftsmen had lavished upon them
delicate filigrees in silver and
gold. intricate inlay work, jewels
set in elaborate patterns.

Tense appropriation, the National
Economy League demanded in a
statement that Congress give the
closest scrutiny to the request for
funds for the draft.
According to previous estimates
of the War Department.. only about
one-half of this sum is required for
compulsory military training in the
present year" Ernest Angel, league
chairman. said. The Army and
Navy, with power over more billions
than can be intelligently spent in
the fiscal year, have seized upon the
need for fourth defense appropria-
ton bill to insert lump-sum items
which were neither mentioned nor
apparently even contemplated a few
weeks ago
President Roosevelt's requests in
Guided s40,0O0,O00 for the National
Youth administrator and s57 1884 900
for the Navy, as well as some other
items not connected with the draft
program.
Details of the items approved by
the House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee will not be made public until
the measure is reported to the House.
The Economy League said, how
ever. that S24,825.1 O8 was asked for
administration of the Selective Serv-
ice Act in the nine months remain
ing of this fiscal year, whereas only
s13.990,809 was spent for this pur-
pose in the first Is months of the
World War
In addition to the big defense ap-
preparation, the House subcommit-
tee approved a $l5O,000,0O appro-
priations measure which includes
some defense money such as funds
for the Communica tons Commits
sion to check on foreign radio broad
casts and for the geological survey
to keep tab on supplies of strategic
materials. The House plans to con-
slider this bill Monday.

Co|ored Citizens Enjoy
Fewer Rights, Report Holds

Problems faced by colored citi-
zens in Washington and other
"borderland' communities are dis
cussed by DR.. E. Franklin Frazier
of Howard University in report to
the American Youth Commission of
the American Council on Educa-
ton.
DR.. Frazier, head of Towards de-
partment of sociology, says the more
than 10000 colored citizens in
Washington enjoy fewer rights and
privileges now than they did a
generation ago and face a strict
color line in employment as we'll
as in social education.
At the same time he points out
that Negro youth are critical of
Negroes and skeptical of their pos
sibilities.'
His findings, to be published in
book form under the title, Negro
Youth at the CroSswayS,' are based
on a long series of interviews with
many youths and their families in
Washington and Louisville, KY. key
cities in the 'borderland" where
the colOred population is made up
largely of migrants from the deep
South or their sons and grandsons.

The baby's mother. young and

she is wonderful. But if she
could only weep. and find relief, it
would be easier" -t
Yesterday, there were hours. after
Nurse Mary Foley came in hysteri-

little prospect of more than tlttul
slumber tonight and every night
to come while little Mares crib
stays empty. She protested against
taking any sedative to aid her sleep,
to delay flor a single instant any
word of her little son that might

Pervading the entire household,
friends said tonight, was a sense OF
helplessness, cruelty accented to peo-

accustomed to direct their lives as
they wished, suddenly faced with
knowledge that the thing they held
most dear was in the absolute power
of bold and egotistic criminal.
