Kennedy, Bu||itt Quiz
On European Situation
Says Senators Should
Get First-Hund Dutu
As Guide for Congress
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan suggested today that the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
seek first-hand information on the
European situation from former
Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph
P. Kennedy and others as pre-
liminary step to consideration OF
international issues awaiting the
new Congress.
Meanwhile other Senators con-
tinued to discuss from different
viewpoints the thought expressed in
the past few days by Senators
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
and Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana that efforts to sound out the
belligerents on possible peace terms
would be advisable.
President Is Silent.
Asked about these suggestions at
his press conference today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said the easiest way
to answer was to say he had no
news.
He repeated this when queried
whether that implied he would have
something later on it. Asked whether
the subject might be touched on
in his Sunday night radio address,
he replied he could not say because
he had only reached draft No. 2
of the speech.
Meanwhile, Senator McCarran
Democrat, of Nevada declared that
It ere will be a decided move in the
Senate for restitution of realz neu-
trality"
Real neutrality does not result
from furnishing the implements of
war" he told reporters. 1T will be
possible to organize sufficient
group, which, working independ-
emily. will support a positive policy
against war"
Both Senator McCarran and Sem
ator johnson, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO commented that if the warning
nations could cease hostilities on
Christmas, they ought to be able
to stop for all time
Senator Vandenberg said last
night that, AN American inquiry,
addressed to all concerned, would be
particularly effective in this direc-
ton if it were generally understood
that the price of refusal to accept
just and realistic formula might

become so co-belligerent unless we
are directly challenged and co that
we do not dissipate the essential
nucleus Of our own defense. 1 do
not favor participation in foreign
wars nor in any policies that would
needlessly drag us in."
The Michigan Senator also went
on record against repeal at this
time of the Neutrality Act or the
johnson Act, restricting credits to
foreign debtor nations in default.
He expressed opposition also to
permitting American ships to enter
belligerent zones, or to providing
American conveys.
Broadeasts Views.
Senator Holt. Democrat, of West
Virginia, joined in the peace dis
cussion in radio address last night,
In which he said, in part:
"Mr. President, you can do much
to help this country and help the
world if you will direct your for
eign policy toward peace rather
than war.
Sooner or later, when this war
ends, there will have to be a con-
ference and peace treaty. The
representatives of these warning
nations will have to try to settle
their problems around a peace table.
Why can't you use your powerful
office to try to get that accom-
plished now?
you surely must know that
complete defeat of either power
will bring nothing but hatred, vi
ciousness and sorrow to the entire
world. You know that the seeds OF
dictatorship are sown In the de-
stroyed economic lives of con-
quered people.
why can't the United States
work for peace, instead of desiring
a Knockout blow which at best will
be far away and will cause many
boys to needlessly sacrifice their
lives and plunge this world into an
economic period far worse than any,
thing even imagined today and
which will not cure the causes OF
dictatorship nor tyranny"

can put new people in charge of your government

Greenbelters make try every six or II
months.
For long time the Citizens Association has
not qui tie measured up to what its leaders and

been poured into this organization, the

finite progress in improving the organization. But
there is still plenty to be DONE The Citizens As

place it should in Greenbelt.
Remember that this is the only organi cation in
town to which every of you belongs. Remember
that only three institutions-The town council, the
Cooperator, and the Citizens Assoc speak
for the entire population of e"eenbelt. There is

Letters to editor
To the editor:

Perhaps the person who wrote the article on No
vemoer does not count the past as measure for
the future. Why shoulj mother be prevented by her
household duties from supervising her cild's PLAY
habits as closely as she would like to? Does she
think that she must spend so minutes out of every
hour giving her child direct attention. child of
today needs to develop initiative and he certainly
can't and won't, if mother stands him five
s1xths Of his waking time Mother's par is sug-
gest and then encourage Performance until the idea
is completed. The mothers of long ago had great
deal more work to do than the mothers today yet
they watched over their large families loved it.
Nor did they neglect their household and wi fely
duties. The mother who really about the fut-
IRE of her child will feel that in these tender
years nothing can take the place of mother's love
and care. In a nursery school the most in
terested teacher has to divide her time, attention
and Love WI tn 50 many In Greenbelt they plan for
30. Doesn't regimenta ton start soon enough?
When 4 child comes into the world he is essen
tia ly an egoist and unless he is guided lovingly
tenderly and patiently, something happens to him.
Either he feels the lack of rmth and wi tn
draws from his playmates, nj then from the world,
and develops an inferiority complex, or being the
type who will have attention, get it how he ray he
starts on career of tantruns and vciousness.

To The Ladies, Bless Them

There have been. articles galore written about
many Of Greenbelt's splendid organizations, but lit
tie has been said about of the Woodworking
civic-minded groups of women in community,
ly the Hospital Auxiliary.
Last year the hospital administration faced
many problems relevant to all hospital and in
most cases handled by auxiliary groups. There was
the problem Of getting surgical gauze supplies made
throughout the year; of mending torn linens
ing linens; Of putting into action program for
publicizng the hosp al not only Greenbelt but in
surrounding communities; etc. An appeal made to
the of Greenbe1t, and number Of them, in
keeping with hospital tradition, responded and
gan+zed the Hospital Auxiliary in September, 1889.
With the inception of the Auxiliary many Of the
problems disappeared.
The supply committee has done splendid job of
keeping the supply room we'll stocked not only witt
immediate needs but also with enough surplus
care OF an emergency need for additional supplies.
The sewing committee has mended all the torn linens
and is doing tremendous job of making lin
ems 1t is not possible to go into the here
but mention should be made that the town will find
it necessary purchase few reaynade linens since
the sewing committee is making, from bolts of ma
terdals, enough for most of the departments in the
hospital The publicity comm ttee the ways and
means COMM tee have publ and raised for
the hospital. Naturally, these funds have been
USED for the basic necessities, but have been ap-
propr1ated for purchases which add to the comfort
the patients. On holidays, the festive trays are
the work of the ward committee, which also keeps the
magazine supply up-to-date. Transportation of
patients who do not have cars to and fron the
pital, is ACCOMPLISH by ire motor corps
The women Of the auxiliary have answered another
need by volunteering their services in the kitchen
on the regular dietitian's day off.
1t would be impossible to go into all the phases
of the work of the organization but these high
lights of their activities should convey
Greenbelters a clearer picture of the huge program
that the auxiliary had planned when It first
ganized, and the thorougness and efficiency it has
displayed in carrying it out. Needless to say, it
has been OF service to the community whole, and
has contributed greatly toward making the Greenbelt
icipal Hospital success. I feel that every
citizen in Greenbelt is indebted these for
the part they have played members of the Hospital
Auxiliary.

The Space Problem

Greenbelt is crowded, and George Bauer rerarn-
ed last week at the G.c.S. meeting |hy didn't you
do something about it two years ago?n Only he
should have said nwe".
Two years ago several residents went into the
needs for, and the possibility of, erecting
recreation building in Greenbelt. The problem was
evidently not serious enough at that time force
the project to success. .Greenbe1t citizen
have built recreation building then if they had
needed it then.
Now we are more crowded than The opening
of the empty store space Greenbelt Consumer Ser
vices' Variety store, and the opening the garage
which had been used recreation room, bring to
mead the serious problem of space for meetings,
space for copni ty enterprises, space for parties
FOR adults, for games and recreation for our
children. I've are glad to see Gees. fulfill the
terms of their lease and give two new commercial
enterprises to the town. This means better services
for all of US, jobs for all of US, savings
from purchases, to the Federal Govern
ment.
But nov the school is only meeting place and
our only recreation Space and it is hopelessly in
adequate for the mounting demands. re need a com
nunity building and we need it The Town Coun-
ell is already working the problem, now they
need your suggestions and help.
What do you want? How large building? Where
is the best location? Should it the churches?
Should 1t have gymnasium? Do you want bowlinc al
1eys? Shall there be for Boy Scouts and a
possible Boys Club? Should there be stage for
amateur theatricals and programs? Should there be
room for dinners? What do you wart in your build
ing?
How shall it be built? Do you want your taxes
ra1sedf Can you make up subscription fund? Shall
there be rental charge for OF the rooms and
facilities? Would WFA help be available? Should
the town float bond issue?
Set the answers and get then in a hurry. If we
need community building we need it now, and we
might as we'll get it started at

installment Racket

New York--"Insta llment houses, unchecked, except
by archaic laws, plundering New Workers. of mil
lions year." charges the crusading daily paper Ri
in of its already famous exposes, then pro-
ceeds to prove its charge by long series of case
histories.
There is for example, the case of John Gioisa,
Brooklyn, who bought storage battery costing $40
the installment plan, signed contract he wasn't
even allowed to read, fell back his $l-a-week
payments, and woke up fine morning four months
later to find that his Cadillac gone. It
had been taken by the company that had his install

houses who naturally prey most the small-income
families), Gioisa is one of the few who afford
to make fight. He hired lawyers and went to court
about it. His fight against the company has been
unsuccessful far, and in the meantime the Cadil
lac has been sold by the company.
The 3o-day "Frce Trial" method is another favor
tie suckercatchin trap of the installnent houses,

The victim in this case was Elizabeth Walker,
a good radio, bought nine years ago for 1904, she
constantly pestered BY salesman of supposed
