a book on juggling, studied it, prac-
ticed what it taught. and proclaimed
himself a juggler who could also pro-
vide gags to accompany the juggling,
and thereafter bluffed and fought his
way into vaudeville.

Once started, Fred runs circles
around doughnut, recalling the full
doughnut crooks that we're standby
in Boston in even poor boys house

Gregory Hansen who invented the
hole in the doughnut. That was re-
markable stride. Why. that man must

might have done away with the entire

are only two of us and so she doesn't

She will give you that recipe. if you

SidweII School Ruled
Exempt From Taxes

Petition by the Sidwell Friends
School for a rebate of Sl1,865 in
taxes collected by the District gov
ernment was granted today by JUS
tice Jennings Bailey in District
Court.
The justice held that the school,
now located at 1901 Wisconsin ave-
nue. NV, was exempt from taxa
ton, since it was used for educa-
tional purposes and not for private
gain.
The property was left in trust by
the late DR.. Thomas w. Sidwell, who
for many years operated the school.
He stipulated the school should be
held in trust for three years, at the
end of which the trustees were to
decide if the continued operation OF
the school was feasible. If not, the
trustees we're to distribute the prop
erty among surviving beneficiaries.
The trustees, however, decided the
school should be continued.
The District government con-
tended the school had, in effect,
been operated for private gain as
well as educational purposes during
the three-year period. Justice
Bailey wrote in q memorandum
opinion that he could not agree
with this contention.
The trustees were represented by
the law firm of Clephane. Latimer

Nuzis Deny Removal
Of Art From France
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The German Embassy issued a
denial last night of reports that the
German army of occupation had
removed French art treasures from
French museums to Germany.
The statement related that ION
February 27 the director of the
Louvre in Paris issued statement
to the press in which he declared
that German authorities have not
removed any art treasures or manu-
scripts or books from France to
Germany"
I'm view of this statement and in
view of authoritative information,
stories that, for instance, Chancellor
Hitler had the famous Winger Vic
tory of Samothrace brought to his
residence in Berchtesgaden, are
without any foundation. This statue
now stands in Loc-Eieu, in unoccu-
pied France, whereto it had been
removed by French authorities long
before the occupation Of Paris"

third place Sc, $40 at Fairfax VII
lage, 200 at Dupon Village and 400
in the Skyland Apartments.
For the colored, 314 families are
scheduled to move into the Alley
Dwelling Authority project known
as Carrollsburg Dwellings next
August. The dwellings are located
between Third, Fifth, and M streets
Sc. In the vicinity of Grant street
and Sheriff road NE, apartments
for 204 families are being built by
a private builder backed by the
Federal Housing Administration.
Taking into consideration all the
increased housing developments, the
Federal Office of Education has
estimated that by next September
some 1852 families will have been
added to the city's population with
about $500 children of school age.
OF these totals, 1000 of the families
will be on Federal reservations with
some 5000 children. The Office held
that lat new teachers would be
needed to take care of these. The
present 1912 school budget allows
for none unless savings can be made
in the teachers salary item.
Needs Set at S2,825, 900.
The complete cost of taking care
of the Washington needs for these
children was estimated by the Office
at S2,825,000, most of which would
be required for new buildings. Some
$3.50 900 would be needed for teachers
salaries and some 100000 for ac-
QUESTION of school sites.
In addition to the Washington
increases, the report said more than
1000 families would be added to
Arlington, Va, by next September;
/ 100 would be added in and around
Fort Belvoir and about $50 more
families at Fort Meade, Md.
The suggestion of governmental
contribution to overstrained COM
munitieS used as national defense
centers was voiced by Mrs. Roosevelt
at a recent press conference prior
to the introduction of the bill by the
President asking for the $50, 1000 900.
Mrs. Roosevelt indicated she thought
the Navy ought to pay for new
schools in areas where it is building
housing. This would include the
development near the Research
Center near Boiling Field.

Defense Loan Drive
Will Start May |,
Morgenthau Reveals
President Probably
Will Purchase Initial
Bond in Public Sole
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The long-awaited defense loan"
drive, offering stamps, certificates
and bonds to the general public in
price range from 10 or Is cents
to $1,000, will begin May l, Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau
told the press today.
President Roosevelt probably will
purchase the first bond in a cam
paign aimed at raising far more
money than was conceived by the
sponsors of the Republics two great
previous drives, in the Civil and
World Wars.
The attitude of the administra-
ton toward the offering is that 1t
will enable even the poorest man,
woman or child to make sacrificial
contribution in the face of the world
upheaval which has inspired the
administrations 28000,000,0O0 de-
fense program.
Mr.. Morgenthau observed today
that citizens drafted under the Sc
lective Service Act and serving now
in Army camps are the only Ameri-
cans making any real sacrifice at
present. He indicated the admin
istration will not press the selectees
to invest because they already are
making a sacrifice to the Nations
needs.
Available In All Post Offices.
However, the certificates will be
available in all post Offices, and
every Army post or camp has a
post office. The Postmaster General,
Mr.. Morgenthau said, is very en-
thusiastic about the certificate sale
and is giving it backing"
1t is thought here that no full an
nouncement about the loan drive
will be available until the British
aid bill is law, for the Federal ex-
penditures between now and July J.,
1912, will depend in large measure
on the arrangements made under
the authority which the bill will
vest in the administration.
1t is thought also the new taxa
ton program will not be divulged
until the bill is law. This program,
however, is being held back any
way until after March IS, the date
on which the Treasury will be able
to judge, from returns due then,
the amount of income-taX revenue
it can expect this calendar year.
Mr.. Morgenthau said the Treas
ury intends to appoint a Treasury
af fI1n anrfiHn
sales drive in every State, with local
committees of citizens functioning
under his direction in arousing gen.
eral enthusiasm.
Bankers Approached.
Preston Delano, the controller of
the currency, has been asked to
communicate with the banking fra
ternity on the part they will play
in the sales campaign. 1t was re-
called for the secretary that the
administration advertised in news
papers during the Liberty Bond and
Victory Bond drives of the World
War and post World War days, but
Mr.. Morgenthau gave no hint
whether this would be repeated now.
Perhaps department stores will be
used as outlets for the certificates,
he said. He doubted whether each
of the various sales areas would be
assigned quota in order to stim-
ulate sales. Mr.. Morgenthau has in
sisted time and again that high
pressure methods will be absent from
the campaign. But appeals to
patriotism will be in order, and
Howard Chandler Christy has SUBJ
mitted to the Treasury an artistic
appeal of this type-a painting of a
woman droped in the American
flag, entitled America Speaks"

DR.. Coulter Points
To Board S Power in
tuberculosis Group
Reorganization Committee
Commended for Work by
Association Critic

DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, director of
the tuberculosis Bureau of the Dis
trict Health Department., who has
leveled sharp criticism at the District
tuberculosis Association, reminded
members of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia in executive
session last night that the associa-
tons Board of Directors has "the
ultimate decision in all matters"
His statement, upon which he
made no enlargement, was inter-
preted as referring to the possibility
that the Board of Directors could
tie the hands of the new executive
secretary of the association, Harald
H. Lund, named last Saturday as
one step in the reorganization fol-
lowing the resignation of Mrs.
Ernest r. Grant, managing director.
DR.. Coulter indicated earlier that,
since he had criticized the associa-
ton at a Medical Society meeting,
he would also make formal comment
on the work of the Reorganization
Committee at society meeting.
He praised the work of the COM
mittee as excellent" and said that
the appointment of Mr.. Lund prom
ised greater cooperation in the con-
troll of tuberculosis.
His statement, later released by
the Medical Society, follows:
"On January 20, 194l, 1 appeared
before the District Medical Society
to discuss the very excellent paper
of DR.. Burge of Philadelphia dealing
with the expenditure of the charity
dollar by tuberculosis associations.
Following my statement came accu-
Sations of 'ulterior motives and
clashing personalities which I feel
was but a small price to pay for the
results obtained.
"A study made by DR.. Peabody
during the past year eliminated
in the appointment of Reorgani-
zation Committee for the District
tuberculosis Association. This COM
mittee has, in my opinion, done an
excellent job.
THE appointment of medically
minded executive secretary has
worked out in other places, even in
the District of Columbia, and
promises greater cooperation be-
tween the medical profession and
the District tuberculosis Association
in their common objective in the
control of the appalling tuberculosis
death rate for which Washington
has long been famous.
But let us not forget that the
Board of Directors of the District
tuberculosis Association has the ul-
innate decision in all matters. The
recommendation of the Reorgani-
zation Committee place the medical
society in a role involving public
duty rather than, as formerly, one
of voluntary assistance.
GAS I speak as one more than
passively interested in the tubercu-
losis program in the District, I ask
your earnest cooperation in help
ing the association re-establish it
self in the public confidence"

that the 1941 funds of the District

Area Presents Real Problem.
AS far as the schools are con-
cerned, there is real problem in
the Anacostia- -Benning area, where,
it appears, the present four ele-
mentary schools, already using port
able additions in two cases, will not
be able to handle the additional
enrolment from national defense
and other Government employees.
In other areas, either the crowding
has not become too noticeable or
the schools there have surplus space.
Relief through participation in a
s150,0O0,00O fund sought by the
President to take care of just such
emergencies in national defense
centers may develop for the District,
but, according to United States
Commissioner of Education John w.
Studebaker, a survey is being made
and no specific ALLEGATIONS will be
made until it is completed.
Between 1000 and 5000 new home
units are being built in the Ana
