China where the nation is now build
ing its modern world. China will
continue to build her important CEN
ters in the west even after peace has
come, the Ambassador declared.
There she is rapidly expanding
schools and hospitals and centers of
culture, he explained.
Nine. Wei, who shared honors
with the Ambassador, made an at
tractive picture as she sat next to
her husband, costumed in q black
satin frock Of Chinese design, en-
broidered In scarlet flowers. The
severity Of her high collared tunic
was relieved by q handsome string
Of Chinese jade.
Following the Ambassador
address, members and friends
thronged about the honor guests for
personal greeting. Several old
acquaintances who had known DR..
end Nine Wei in China were among
those who attended the tea. Nine.
Wei smiled as she was introduced to
Miss Viola Smith, American Consul
and registrar of the China Trade
Act.
The world is indeed small
place." she commented as she ex-
planned how she had met Miss
Smith Is years ago in Shanghai
during the time she presided as
Judge Of the District Court of Nam
tao in Shanghai where Miss Smith
was then American Consul at that
city. Miss Smith smilingly recalled
how she had visited the Chinese
woman magistrate with large in
ternational group of women, eager
to meet the Chinese lady judge"
who had gained a reputation as a
clever and brilliant lawyer before
she had been appointed to the
judgeship.

Clubs Support
Of Children's
Clinic Lauded
Goth Century Group
Hears DR.. Hightower
Tell of Units Aims

Expressing his appreciation to the
Twentieth Century Club for it's valu-
able support OF the Crippled Chill
dren's Clinic, which he heads at
Gallinger Hospital, DR.. Robert B.
Hightower stated his hope to make
the clinic an example for all other
hospitals in the country" in an ad-
dress before club members yester-
day at the YWCA.
The Twentieth Century Club lends
financial support to the circulating
library and occupational therapy
unit maintained in the clinic.
I'VE appreciate greatly all that
has been done for the clinic by the
Twentieth Century Club" he said
you have added a feminine touch
to our wards and have provided
niceties which We, who are busy
with patients, have not the time to
occupy ourselves with"
The 194l statistics, according to
DR.. Hightower, show that the clinic
gave ATT orthopedic patients 2.112
treatments or examinations that
1854 cardiac patients received SGT
treatments or examinations, and
that 30 plastic cases were given 81
treatments.
During 1912 we anticipate 4 Is
per cent increase over 1941," DR..
Hightower said, land there are lots
Of problems we haven't been able
to work out yet"
"One Of our great lacks is facili-
ties for bridging the gap between
the time the child Il hospitalized
and the time when it is ready to
take its place in society as a useful
citizen" he went on, explaining the
problems of oceupational therapy
"Arother problem is the residence
requirement, which demands one
years residence in the city before
child may be cared for in the
clinic.
"The library department has been
very useful. I think that service
is OF the greatest value to these
bedridden children. I cannot tell
you how much this service has
meant to us ALL"
He explained the need for a fully
equipped small dining room, per-
mitting children to get away from
bedside eating. Miss Elizabeth
Messick, occupational therapist in
the Crippled Children's Clinic, cited
statistics showing that patients had
been contracted 2119 times in 1910,
4,217 times in 1941 and more than
5000 times so far this year. Miss
Mildred Page, librarian, told many
anecdotes about the childrens hap
plness over their library service.
The luncheon, which was attend
ed by some so members of the club,
was sponsored by the civics-educa-
tion section, of which Mrs. Edgar
Merritt is chairman. The speakers
were introduced by Mrs. Richard
Fay Jackson, chairman of the Gal
linger Hospital projects of the club
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
OF the organization, was an honored
guest.

Two Women's Units
Honor Crusader
For Equal Rights

In celebration of the 127th ami
versary of the birth of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, outstanding crusader
for women's rights, members Of the
National Woman's Party and Chevy
Chase Branch of the League of
American Pen Women gathered last
evening in the library at Alva Bel
mont House and heard Miss jean
nette Marks read her play, Laugh
ter" which traces the history of
the feminist movement.
Miss Marks, former professor Of
literature at Mount Holyoke Col
lege, noted author and lecturer, is a
member of both clubs. An ardent
worker for the equal rights amend
ment, Miss Marks gave her views
on American women and their free
dom before her reading.
Freedom is the American wom-
ans birthright," she said, land If
she doesn't enjoy it now it is be-
cause somewhere along the line it
has been lost and now it must be
recovered again."
She recalled that during the
World War women came to Wash
ington in droves and were thrust
into prison while clamoring for
equal rights. Even when the Jail
doors closed on them they con-
tinued to appeal for the right to
vote. They won.
women have sprung to the de-
fense Of freedom the world over"
Miss Marks continued. Large
groups of women are nurses, physi-
clans. WAACS, WAVES and in the
Air Corps. Today American women
are convinced that they will be-
come complete partners in the four
freedoms-forms of liberty which
are theirs by birthright."
Miss Mary E. Downey, librarian
of Alva Belmont House and chair
man of the Chevy Chase Pen Wom-
ems League, presided.

The picturesque phrases Of speech
for which Chinese poets and scholars
have long been famous marked an
! informal talk given by DR.. Wei
Tao-ming, Ambassador from China,
before members Of the Newspaper
Womens Club at tea given yester-
day in his honor.
Describing the friendship which
has existed between the United
States and his country over period
! OF years, DR.. Wei said, friendship
Is stronger than stone and cannot be
broken. As with friends, 50 1t Is true
among nations"
II have been so happy" he con-
tinued, ito find the same sentiment
Of friendship which exists in China
for the Americans, here In your
country, realizing that 1t is leading
to an ever closer Sino- American
friendship. Because of a common
enemy and a common cause our
friendship assures even closer CO.
operation in the future" he added.
Answering questions from men,
perS ana guests, the Ambassador
spoke of the increasing influence of
women in his country and their
participation in professional and
civic life. There are many Chinese
newspaperwomen, he told the
American women of the press, who
are doing important reporting on
war and general news. Pointing out
the political Importance of Chinese
women, he said that 10 women were
represented on the Peoples Political
Council at Chungking, one Of Chinas
most important civic bodies.
In spite OF untold and repeated
bombings, China has saved the
greatest part Of her valuable works
of art, DR.. Wei said. Many of these
were carried from Peiping and
Shanghai into the western part of

PLEDGE BEING IGNORED

These figures make it obvious
that the plrdge Of organized labor
leaders that there should be no
more strikes in time of war is not
being kept.
But the situation is far more
serious than would appear at first

tional War Labor Board. showing
i'm June only nine one-hundredthS

This appears to be so small a
