Cures III Stars
Disappointment

Carolyn Lee, the 5-year-old movie
star who came to Washington for
the Presidents Birthday Ball and
landed in Children's Hospital with
acute bronchitis, isn't disappointed
any more.
Carolyn had told her mother,
Mrs. Warren Copp, she didn't mind
so much missing the Birthday Ball.
1t was not seeing Mrs. Roosevelt
that was the big disappointment.
All that was fixed yesterday.
While Carolyn was propped up in
bed with a luncheon tray before her,
there came a knock on the door and
a tall woman walked in.
Carolyn didn't have to be told
who she was. Mrs. Roosevelt had
come to call. She stayed only few
minutes, but she promised to come
again with a surprise"
Mrs. Roosevelt said at her press
conference today that she found
Carolyn cunning little thing" and
was going to send her book. Caro-
ly1.. she explained, didn't want
flowers, but something that would
last.
The visit was so completely un-
heralded that no one even knew
Mrs. Roosevelt was in the hospital
except the nurse who happened to
be passing the Thirteenth street
door when Mrs. Roosevelt entered
the hospital and asked directions to
Carolyn's room.
The little girl will remain in the
hospital until the end of the week.
Then she and her mother will go to
Miami.

Giant Dragon PAGES

Observe New Year
Firecrockers Pop and
Hundreds of Dollars
Are Collected for Relief

The rattle of gunf1re on the other
side of the world was echoed here
yesterday as Washington's Chinese
colony marked the beginning of a
new year.
Firecrackers popped like machine
guns along H street NV. as a giant
dragon danced through Chinatown,
which is concentrated between Fifth
and Seventh streets on H street
Hundreds of dollars for Chinese
relief were dropped on huge flag
of the Chinese Republic or "fed"
to the dragon whose traditional
New Year diet is lettuce.
The dragon was manned by mem-
bers of the Chinese Youth Club
and pranced down the roped of
streets to the accompaniment of
clanking cymbals and booming
drums.
Young Chinese danced in the pa
rade, half dozen of them carrying
the Chinese flag. From windows
above the street Chinese tossed
money down on the flag. From
the crowd of 500 which gathered
along the curb came other contri-
buttons.
The money was turned over to
the Chinese Salvation Association
headquarters to be forwarded to
authorities of the Oriental republic,
now in its 30th- year. The celebra-
ton marked the 4,053d year of the
dragon and the 2,393d since the
time of Confucius.

200 Low-Renf Homes
Will Be Constructed
In Montgomery
Roosevelt Approves Loan;
Substundord Dwellings
Will Be Eliminated

A s45O,O00 United States Housing
Authority loan contract for 200 low
rent homes in Montgomery County,
Md, was approved by President
Roosevelt today.
The loan will cover 80 per cent
of the development cost. The
project will be rural in character
and will consist of separate dwell
ings scattered throughout the
county. according to information
released by the Housing Authority.
Under terms of the United States
Housing Act one substandard dwell
ing will be eliminated for each
dwelling built in the county.
Montgomery County's loan was
one of two approved during the
day by the President. The other
was for S1,027 300 to construct 220
low-rent homes in Holyoke, Mass,
on a site said to be occupied by
some of the worst substandard
dwellings in the city.
The loan will actiVate the Mont
gomery County Housing Authority,
which was established nearly two
years ago by the Board of County
Commissioners to carry out the
project in the rural areas.
Chairman E. Brooke Lee said
today he had received word fron
Representative Byron, Democrat, of
Maryland that the contract had
been approved and that the first
part of the appropriation necessary
to complete the project is available
for immediate expenditure.
The project contemplates eventual
conctruction of more than 300
houses, in accordance with the
recommendations of county health
authorities for elimination of SUBJ
standard homes in various sections
of the county.
Mr.. Lee said additional funds will
be forthcoming as the project ap-
proaches completion, but consid-
cradle preliminary work would have
to be done before actual construc-
ton can begin.
The houses will vary in size from
four to six rooms, the largest houses
including three bedrooms, but no
standard specifications have been
adopted, as the Montgomery County
project is the first of this type to
be approved. While other rural
projects have been undertaken this
is the first in a semi-rural section,
Mr.. Lee explained.

DC. Commissioners
Back Bill Permitting
Child Actors Of "a
No Appearances After
1lP.M. or for More Than
d Hours q Week Allowed

The Commissioners today submit
ted favorite report to the House
District Committee on a bill to
amend the Child Labor Law to per-
nit minors of at least IA years of
age to take part in professional con-
certs and theatrical productions.
The proposed legislation, the
Commissioners said, lis both desir-
able and necessary
The bill, introduced by Chairman
Randolph of the District Commit
tee, is patterned after a similar
measure which died in the last Con
gress. 1t would authorize the
Board of Education, or its agent, to
issue a permit to minors only in
case the applicants had completed
eight grades of elementary instruc-
ton or the equivalent The bill also
stipulates that a child shall not ap-
pear on the stage after II pm. or
more than six hours or two per-
formances in any one day or more
than six days a week or more than
"a hours in any week
The Commissioners also indorsed
a bill to increase the powers of
the Minimum Wage Board in en-
forcing the eight-hour working law
for women, but opposed another
measure which would give the War
Department complete control of all
Illuminating gas storage tanks here
in case of threatened invasion.
The Commissioners pointed out
they had been informed by repre-
sentatives of the gas industry that
"a filled gas tank offers little dam
ger from the effects of an invasion"
They also declared the bill is dis
criminatory since it does not include
gasoline tanks and quoted an article
in the London Times which stated
that a high Nazi explosive had
pierced an Illuminating gas tank in
London without endangering the
city.
