American Red Cross

Washington, DC, June 15-In
connection with the S5O,0OO,OOO
European relief appropriation
now pending before Congress,
Chairman Norman H. Davis yes
terday sent the following COM
munication to 300 Red Cross
chapters throughout the United
States:
Il want to emuhasize that the
bill pending before Congress for
an appropriation of S5O,OOO,OOO
for the purchase of surplus food
and other supplies for the relief
of refugees does not provide for
any appropriation to the Red
Cross of any money. The Cover
ment is not proposing to finance
the Red Cross and neither has
the Red Cross asked any financing
by the Government. The Red
Cross has been and is expecting
to continue to be an organization
supported by voluntary gifts. The
proposed legislation provid s
that the purchases shall be
under the control of the Presi-
dent but that he may select as the
agency for the distribution of the
foods and other supplies. the
American Red Cross or such
other agency as he may desig-
nate.
The Presidents request to
Congress called attention to the
fact that the recommended pur-
chase of surplus food in no way
lightened the burden which the
American Red Cross has assumed
and he specifically said, The ap-
preparation | am suggesting will
supplement the Red Cross relief
program. The needs of refugees
are many in addition to their
need for food.
Everyday brings new and
urgent need"

In messages to Chairmen Dough-

D. T.. School Official
Denies Evidence Of
Red Teachings
Idea Is Abhorrent,
Says Dr.. Holmes in
Reply to Report

DR.. Chester w. Holmes, acting
superintendent of District public
schools, said today there was abso-
lutely no evidence of Communistic
teachings in local schools. He made
the statement when asked to COM
ment on a claim by F. B. I. rep
resentative that reports on the
teaching of such un-American doc
trines had been made to the F. B. I.
"The idea of such teaching is abb
horrent to our teachers and Off
GERS" DR.. Holmes said. I'VE have
every reason to believe that If such
teaching were going on, we would
soon hear of it."
1--WE are doing all we can to teach
American principles and ideals and
LOYALTY to the United States" he de-
clared. There is no lack of oppor-
tunity for children to have incul-
Gated in them the ideals OF pa
triotism."
DR.. Holmes said visitors would be
welcome at any time in any District
schools or classes.
IF any impartial visitors would
come into the classes in civics, eco
nomics or history in our senior or
Junior high schools. they. would be
amazed at the ability of the stu
dents to carry on very sane and
practical discussions" he said.
In an address before the WASH
ington Rotary Club this week, Lee
r. Pennington, administrative as
sistant to J. Edgar Hoover, said
some reports of teaching dealing
with Communistic activities in some
Of the Nations schools and colleges
had filtered in to the F. B. I.

One Of the Nations popular Or
chestrs leaders has come up with a
new dance named the Plymouth
Rock. in which the devotees of terp-
sichore consider the word rock" as
q verb, and not noun.
The latest manifestation of pa
triotism," along with another dance,
the Liberty Parade, the Plymouth
Rock appears to have great possi-
bilities of popularity. Leroy Thayer.
Washington dance instructor, says
he sees waning of interest in the
shag. the rhumba and the lolly, and
a turning to slightly less strenuous
hardwood maneuvers. The Liberty
Parade, an Americanized Lambeth
Walk. even includes a great deal OF
saluting and frequent heel-clicking.
Mr.. Thayer is president of the
Dancing Masters OF America, and at
the organizations convention in
Pittsburgh last week. his son DEM
onstrated the Plymouth Rock, He
describes it as a novelty fox trot
danced to music of moderate tempo.
Eliminating some of the adagio
features of modern dancing, the
Plymouth Rock, nevertheless in one
phase, requires about as much room
as the shag. When the dancers start
.'rockin' feet begin to fly. The
dance is geared to such moderately
timed songs as Comes Love-" Mr..
Thayer explains. but can be danced
to almost anything.
To illustrate, he and Miss June
Clark rocked along in the dance to a
Fats Waller recording of "Cryin'
Mood To retain avoirdupois and
shred of dignity, middle-aged dane
ers are advised to stick to Comes
