Farmer, Is, Rescues
Woman From Flames

Richard Evans, 73-year-old Mont
gomery County farmer, carried Mrs.
Ernest Ricketts,. 40, suffering from
pneumonia, to safety yesterday
afternoon when the Ricketts, home
on River road. near Potomac, Nd,
was destroyed by fire.
A 16month-o baby and eight
other children of the sick woman
escaped from the wooden cottage,
the older children removing their
younger sisters and brothers to
safety.
Mr.. Evans, himself the father of
a l3-month-old son. said he saw
sparks from the chimney ignite the
Ricketts, home, a short distance from
his residence, and he ran to the
house and warned the occupants.
After he carried out Mrs. Ricketts,
she was taken to the home of a
sister, Mrs. Gail Dodson, near
Bethesda.
Firemen from Bethesda, Chevy
Chase and Glen Echo responded on
the alarm, but the fire had gained
such great headway their efforts
were futile.
Brush fires all over the metro
politan area yesterday kept sub.
urban fire departments busy. One
broke out on the grounds of Chevy
Chase Country Club, but was quickly
extinguished by the Chevy Chase
Fire Department.

Trade Pocts
Continued From First Page)

Of ratification offered a new amend
ment, on which he may seek a vote
If the Pittman amendment is de-
feated.
The Adams proposal would re-
quire Senate ratification by a ma
jority. Other pending amendments
would require approval of future
agreements by majority vote of
both House and Senate.
1t is probable that the leaders
will ask for a recess until Mon
day after the vote on the Pittmar
amendment and try to complete
action on the trade agreement res
olution by the middle of neyt
week.
On the eve of the vote, Chairman
Harrison of the Finance Committee.
leading the administration fight for
the trade program, said he expected
to beat the Pittman amendment, but
would not predict the size of the
vote.
Preparations Made for Pairs.
So close are opposing lines drawn
on this major issue that the agree
ment fixing a time te vote was not
reached until arrangements had
been made to pair absent Senators
on both sides, so that their votes
would offset each other.
The Republicans are expected to
vote almost solidly for the Pittman
amendment, supported by a group
OF Western Democrats from States
in which there is considerable senti-
ment against the program.
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia made known last night that
he will support the Pittman amend
ment, summing up his position as
follows:
"An agreement is treaty and a
treaty is an agreement. There is no
question about that"
While leaders of the opposing
factions labored off the floor to
bring about the agreement to vote,
the debate went on yesterday after
noon, with Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah defending the wisdom
and validity of the present act,
while Senators Thomas, Republican,
of Idaho and Capper, Republican, of
Kansas opposed it.

Sisters of Poor Will Pay
Honor to Sister PuscuIine
Celebration to Mark
so Years Work for
Unfortunutes

There's a little old lady, dressed
in the black, gray and white habit
of the Little Sisters of the Poor,
who has spent so years in Washing
ton begging on the streets for other
humans, some Of whom she didn't
even know.
Frances Leary, known in religion
as Sister Pascaline de st. Simon,
is n years old but she can still be
seen-as she has been seen by WASH
ingtonians for so years-with her
basket and her mite box begging
aims for the aged poor in front Of
Government buildings and at
markets.
Sister Pascaline was born in
Dutchess County, New York, on Oc-
tober Is, 1854 Her parents were
Cork County Irish emigrants.
She entered the congregation Of
the Little Sisters in New York in
December, 1886. Several months
later she went to the Motherhouse
of St. Joseph in LaTour, France,
for her novitiate. In this same
motherhouse. on July 7, 1890, Sister
Pascaline took her vows and donned
the habit of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, a habit she was not to take
of for so years.
Assigned to Home Here.
Sister Pascaline then returned to
the United States and was assigned
to the Home for the Aged at 220 II
! street NE, where she has spent her
religious life caring for the aged
poor.
Most Washingtonians know the red
brick walls and ivy-covered build
ings of the Little Sisters congrega-
ton here. Daily, the covered truck
of the sisters goes on its rounds
before the automobiles. the sisters
used horse-drawn wagons or pushed
handcarts themselves to haul the
old clothes, shoes, produce. blankets
and other articles people give for the
unfortunate.
For the first five years of her life
at the Sisters home, she was in
charge of laundry. These were ma

The next task assigned to her, one
she continues to pursue despite her
ailing health, was to beg aims, cloth
ing and food for the aged charges
of the nuns.
Visits Markets and Homes.
Early every morning, with her sis
ter companion, she would start out
in the familiar black wagon, visiting
the markets, business places and
private homes asking aims for the
poor.
In the evening, one would find
her in front of Government build
