MacLeish Addresses
WOmen'S Press
Club Members

Increasing use of the Library of
Congress by members of Congress
has been noted with interest by
the chief librarian, Archibald Mac
Leish, who spoke before the
Womens Press Club yesterday fol-
lowing luncheon at the Willard
Hotel.
A steady increase in the use of
the Library by the public has been
noted during the past year, he said.
But the increase of public readers
Is normal one, he added, and not
as remarkable as that among the
members of Congress.
Mr.. MacLeish answered questions,
following the reading of a radio
poem, The Fall of the City" which
he wrote prior to the fall of Austria.
The script, which he declares was
written without thought of any
particular time. place or personality,
has proven to be strange prophecy
of world events. 1t tells of an
allegorical conqueror, whose coming
is heralded to a great city which
refuses to believe it will be invaded
and argues that "softness," rather
than armor and resistance, can
turn away the oppressor. Mr.. Mac
Leish drew attention to similarity
of words uttered by an allegorical
figure in his poem and those later
spoken by Goebbels. The passage
in his own work was: HE knows
what he wants and he wants what
he knows" while Goebbels' dec
laration was: I'VE know what we
want and the thing we want Is the
thing that we know"
Mrs. Fred Essary. president of
the club, introduced as another
guest Ismet Sanli, Turkish news
paperwoman who has recently ar
rived in the United States. Miss
Sanli, who has lectured before
several mems clubs, expressed sur
prise at American ideas regarding
haremS. She smilingly declared
that harems appeared to be of more
interest to her male listeners than
any other supposedly Turkish in
stitution.
Harems, she asserted, belong only
to those who can afford them-both
In Turkey and In other lands. She
remarked that the only apparent
difference between harems in her
country and America is that in
Turkey the men marry their second
and third wives
Miss Sani is making her head
quarters in Wilmington, Del, in
order to be halfway between the
two cities of greatest news interest
to her, Washington and New York.
While in the capital she is a
guest at the Turkish Embassy.

Says Support Is Both
Natural and Logical.

The British people are fighting for
the same institutions of self-govern-
ment that the founders of our re-
public fought to preserve, she said.
"Our admiration and support is
therefore both natural and logical" !"
she added.
Mrs. Robert said the D. A. R. has
always believed adequate national
defense constitutes the best assur-
ance of peace for the United States
until such time as nations will give
to their contracts and agreements
the same respect, honor and support
as is expected from individuals" q"
Educational defense is also a vital
need, however she maintained. She
declared that the American Republic
is not safe until every citizen, native
and naturalized alike, realizes that
he has something worth keeping not
only for himself but also for poster
ity and that his own individual ef-
fort is needed to keep it.
ut is not safe until he is ready to
work for it rather than against
something that threatens it," she
emphasized.
Mrs. Robert also told the Daugh-
ters that they can serve through
keeping themselves sane, active and
normal human beings.
Mrs. Harry C. Oberholser
Presides at Dinner.
Mrs. Harry c. Oberholser, State
regent of the District Daughters,
presided at the dinner, which is an
nually one of the most colorful
events on the D. A. r. calendar.
Distinguished guests and officials
of the society we're greeted in

rhyme.

president general, offered the toast to

Hardy to the State officers and vice
presidents general; Mrs. Jessie Scott

fred Chairman to the juniors; Miss

tees; Mrs. George c. Ober to the

Removal of Streamers
From Flags Voted.
Earlier the conference delegates,
meeting at Memorial Continental
Hall, voted to remove ribbon
streamers which had been used on
the flags belonging to the various
chapters. Miss Chenoweth, resolu-
tions chairman, pointed out that
military and Federal service regula-
tions rule that nothing should be
placed on or above the United States
flag except as authorized to signify
service or award. The flag code,
which the D. A R. follows, contains
no ruling on that point, it was said.
