for one side or the other to escape
its esponsibilities-an unlikely pos
sibility.
British and Dutch Work Together.
In point of fact, the British and
Netherlands Indies are working
much more closely together than
appears on the surface There have
been frequent visits of Dutch officers
to Singapore and Australia and of
British officers to the Indies. While
the Netherlands Indies government
is appropriating no money directly
to the Allied war effort in Europe,
1t is helping in many other ways.
For instance, the government has
concluded monetary accord with
Britain aimed at strengthening the
sterling bloc. The Indies have con-
tracted to supply Britain with
10000, 900 pounds of tea, $50 900 tons
of sugar, great quantities of oil and
gasoline (for Singapore and hun
dreds of lesser items. In return
the Indies are buying Lancashire
textiles. Voluntary contributions to
the Allied war effort are considera-
BILE. Enough money has been raised
to buy 80 Spitflres and several bomb
ers for the British. Dutch pilots
are being trained here for service
in England.
In these articles I have dealt
mainly with the Dutch. They are
the rulers of the East Indies. But
they are, after all, only one-third
of per cent of the total population
NationaliSts representing the re-
naming 65,000,000 tell me that they
are stringing along with the Dutch,
not because they love them, but
because they think they can get
a better deal from them than from
any of the axis powers They hope
earnestly that their reward for such
cooperation will be an improved
status before or after the war is
over But they have no positive
assurances. There is no group OF
people who would more greatly ap-
preciate a clear-cut expression of
war aims by the Allied powers.

Miss Irma Lien, 81, of Regent,

She gained that distinction
because she can't have a tooth

DR.. William F. Lasby, dean of

like Miss Liens are not unheard

Miss Liens unusual case came
TO light recently when she went
to a dentist to have her teeth

brought no signs of discomfort
and an X-ray disclosed the
young woman's teeth do not
have nerve canals, but are solid
formations. although similar in

Because of that statement, Mr..

Martin denies that, but asserted,
There had been some objection

10000 Volunteers Will

To Roise Sl0,765, 900
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 29.-District
Attorney Thomas E Dewey today
accepted the national chairmanship
of the United States Service Or
ganizationS for National Defense in
their drive to raise $10,765 900 for
recreational facilities for soldiers, -
sailors and others engaged in de-
fenSe work.
The organizations plan to provide
means to care for the welfare, edu-
cational and spiritual needs of the
armed forces, through service clubs
in 300 defense centers throughout
the United States and at overseas
bases.
Under the plan, the Government
will build and equip the clubs near
Army camps, naval stations and in
dustrial plants, while the U. S. O.
will provide funds for operation Of
the clubs and their programs.
Mr.. Dewey, outlining the drive
program, said that he would be as
sisted by 10000 volunteer workers
and that community chest in areas
in which service clubs would operate
had given a 80 per cent favorable
response TO the appeal.
Pointing out that the American
people have raised more than $50
100000 for the people of other
nations, Mr.. Dewey said this drive
to raise less than sll 100000 "on be-
half of our own young men, is the
least we can do"
National agencies which will CO.
operate in running the clubs include
the Y. NJ C. A, Y. w. C. A., the
National Catholic Community Serv-
ice, the Salvation Army, the Jewish
Welfare Board and the National
Travellers Aid Association.
Walter Hoving, Fifth avenue de-
partment store executive, is U. S o.

already had been set up in 300

Whitehurst Report on

Praised ot Meeting

Henry L Coleman last night was
unanimously reelected as president
of the Northwest Council of Citi-
zens' Associations for his third term.
Other officers named were Owen
B. French and Thomas V. Regan,
first and second vice presidents, re-
spectively; Harry Grove, treasurer,
and Mrs. Clarence Wright, secretary.
The council approved a motion to
commend Capt. H. C. Whitehurst,
director of highways, and his aides
for the excellent report presented
last week on highway planning for
the District. Mr.. Coleman and other
members said they considered the
report one of the most comprehen-
sive to come out of the District
Building.
The council approved two resolu-
tions offered by Donald Carpenter
regarding fishing in the District.
One called for the appointment of at
least two wardens to patrol the
Potomac River, near Chain Bridge,
where, Mr. Carpenter said, men are
using nets, contrary to law, to catch
hundreds of fish every day.
The other called for a reciprocal
charge against residents of other
States who wished to fish in the
District. The fee would be equal
to that charged District residents
for fishing in those respective States.
Mr.. Carpenter pointed out that,
while outsiders could fish here free,
District residents who wished to
fish in surrounding States had to
pay high price" for license. He
believed that action of this sort
would lower the license fees for Dis
trict sportsmen fishing III other
States.

papers or publicity purposes, and
that eventually an effort was made

EXCEPTING only The Royal

embittered title on the Barry

no successful modern play about

The point is worth notice be-
cause there is lowering on the
Broadway horizon a play by
Ivor Novello, Londons actor
playwright, about the fabulous
and now unbelievable Mrs. Pat
rick Campbell.
Mrs. Pat. as she hated to hear
herself called, seemed incredible
enough while she was alive-a
sort of networks of carbolic acid
and ruinous wit. veritable old
unfaithful, scalding friend and
foe alike.
Now that she is dead. and

ever like the lightning which

say 1T lightens.
But she certainly lit up the
landscape while she was at it.
