workmen still camped. on the
ground that sloped down to
vaporous swamp. there still was
no thought that the mansion
might ever become the pulse Of
government.
Possibly it was j fferson who
started pumping the blood of a liv-
ing personality into the place. JEFF
ferson was a national figure of only
slightly less stature than Washing
ton and his coming to the mansion
gave it an aura of tradition as well
as political power.
Nevertheless, it was not until the
British had sacked Washington and
burned the mansion, and Hoban had
set about rebuilding it, that 1t
emerged as 1.-The White House"
BY that time, the outlines of
the central part of the building

to-day and it remained only for
Andrew Jackson to turn the
building around, making the

and for the long east and west

emergency tables which they had
also brought and prepared to
serve the meal.
Meanwhile the rest of the 100
modified were appearing, some
in their cars, others putting up
the long hill from the nearest
transit station. They stood by as
observers, but prepared to help
If necessary.
Many of the women who re-
sponded had been caught in the
midst of some household job.
One was serving breakfast to
her family, finished this, but left
without breakfast herself. An
other was notified by one of her
children while in the midst of a
shopping tour, abandoned her
shopping and went home to don
her uniform and hasten to the
disaster" scene.
The feeding was handled
quickly and efficiently. In case
of extended emergency, the
Queens Chapter is prepared to
continue disaster meals" for
two days or two weeks, depend
ing on how soon refugees"
could return to their homes or
how soon authorities could make
permanent arrangements.

bombs fell on America tomor-
row, how quickly and efficient
ly could women canteen workers
get to the scene of trouble with
healthful, disaster meals" for
bewildered, homeless civilians?
The Red Cross doesn't have to
guess to get the answer.
In a recent surprise test, prob
ably the first of its kind in the
country, the ARCS Central
Chapter of Queens, New York,
gave a demonstration Of speed
and efficiency which is consider
ed a model for similar units all
over the country.
The volunteers taking part In
the test were told merely that
some time between midnight
Friday and midnight Saturday
they would be called on for some
kind of emergency active duty"
They were not told the time
they would be called, or what
they would have to do. One sat
up most of the night in her
uniform. She finally concluded
nothing would happen, so went
to bed only to be called out after
a couple of hours sleep.
CHECK ON FOUR ANGLES
OF TEST
Leaders of the chapter order
ed the test to determine how
we'll the uniformed volunteers
could fulfill the following es-
sentials of providing a war dis
aster meal:
I. Speed Of mobilization.
2. Serving of the meal under
sanitary conditions, most essen
tial in disasters.
3. Provision Of hot, adequate,
nourishing food.
4. Efficiency in the teamwork
of cooking, and transportation
and service of the cooked food.
At 8 a. m. Walter P. Burden,
chairman of the Queens Chap
ter, sounded the emergency call,
announcing that the Red Cross
had been called on to feed $50
persons on the playing field of a
local school. The canteen chair
man was ordered to mobilize her
corps.
She called the captain of the
mobile kitchen unit, who in turn
assembled her crew of 10 women
at chapter headquarters. In adj
dition, IS key women were no.
titled, and each in turn called
nine others, bringing the grand
total of workers modified to
100 on practically a moments
notice. All except the 10 were
ordered to report later at the
playing field.
The 10 at headquarters found
there the necessary food, togeth-
er with paper cups, containers,
plates, forks, and spoons that
are kept ready for actual emer-
gencies. They prepared a nour-
ishing meal from one of the
standard disaster menus" or
file. 1t consisted of rice la
creole, cole slaw, bread and
butter, applesauce and coffee.
CALL TOOK MEMBERS
BY SURPRISE
The women went at their
duties with zest. They prepared
the meal quickly and packed
the whole business into heavy
pots and vacuum containers
which they logged onto their mo-
bile canteen trucks with their
own muscle.
Arriving at the high school
playing field, they set up the

HoLlIywood's j
Funcies
By Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. - All over
the lot: An odd mixture of horror
and hilarity is found on the set of
"The Oxbow Incident" but never
at the same time. The story, fol-
lowing the novel by Walter von
Tillburg Clark, packs action and
suspense plus the grimmest sort Of
tragedy, fo~ it tells of the hanging
by a posse of three innocent men
thought to have committed muir
der. But the director is William
Wellman, and Wild Bill is a rib
ber.
Lately there has been a feud be-
tween Wellman and Henry Fonda
over the latter's extra long legged
folding chair. Frequently the actor
found the director perched in the
tall, blue chair. Neither hints, out
right demands nor scurrilous re-
marks could get him out of it.
The other morning Fonda found
Wellman in a tall, white chair with
Director" lettered on the back.
Fonda was pleased at first, but
sIapiciJn day jned when he dis
covered his own blue chair was
missing. He got some paint remover,
rubbed it on an arm and found

Sioux Will Dance
In Ancient Ritual
Seeking Victory.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. -
(UP)-Chief Henry One Bull, de-
scendant of Sitting Bull, today ord
cred 100 braves to perform the
ancient Sioux Indian sun dance to-
morrow and Saturday, asking the
spirit Waka Tanka to bring an Al
lied victory and safe returns OF
Indians in the United States army.
The chief directed the placing of
a center pole from which hang four
rawhide throngs representing the
four points OF the compass. Around
this pole the braves will fast and
dance for 40 hours.
E Amid the weird beating of Indian
drums, the braves dance until they
fall In exhaustion and then rise
again to resume their rythmic
stamping.
This is the first time the cere-
mcny has been ordered since it was
Banned in 1889 by white men who
disapproved of the Indians slash
ing their chests at the climax of
the ceremony. This injury and
other self-inflicted tortures were
forbidden In the present dance.
Participants in the dance will
spend tonight in mud hut steam
ing themselves in preparation for
.ae rigorous ceremony.
Chief Bull claims to be 102 years
OF age.

William Dudley Pelley, former Sill

ton compared to Benedict Arnold,
faces sentencing on Aug IL on the
Imperial Valley press., 1942-08-06
PeIIey Guilty Of
Sedition CHARGE

first major sedition conviction of
the war.
A jury of Indiana farmers and
small business men found Pelley
guilty last night, after three hours
ard Is minutes deliberation, of II
counts in an indictment charging
conspiracy and sedition. He faces
22O years imprisonment and fines
of $4,000.
Lawrence A. Brown and Agnes
Marian Henderson, Pelley's code
PENDANTS and business associates,
WIRE convicted of conspiring to
cause INSTRUMENTATION and hinder
recruiting of the armed forces. Miss
Henderson thus became the first
woman convicted under the sedition
clause Of the 1917 act in this war
She and Brown -aces maximum
penalties of 20 years Imprisonment
and $4,000 fines.
CORPORATION GUILTY
The Fellowship Press, Inc, pub
Usher of the "Galilean," Pelleys
magazine, also was found guilty of
conspiracy
Federal District Judge Robert C.
Baltzell, who announced he would
sentence the defendants at 10 am.
Aug. IL, gave defense attorneys
three days to present motions, Pei
ley's attorney, Oscar f.. Smith, said
the defense would seek q new trail.
The jurors received the case at
AIS pm, after impassioned sum-
nations and rebuttals by both the
defense and the prosecution. In his
closing statement, b. How ard
Caughran, U. S. district attorney
pointed his finger at Pelley and
shouted:
ARCH QUISILING
You are traitor to your coun-
try, the Arch Quisling OF America
parading under a false flag of pa
triotism while you stabbed your
country in the back You'll go down
in history with Benedict Arnold
and Aaron Burr"
Pelley merely stared at the at
torney and later, when the jury re-
ported its verdict, lie appeared pale
and shaken, but Offered no COM
ment. Brown and Miss Henderson
were released under bond pending
the sentencing, but Peliey was re-
manded to the custody of the u S.
marshal
His daughter, Miss Adelaide M
Pelley, ran to his side as he was
led from the courtroom.
PRECEDENT SET
Oscar Ewing, special assistant to
the u. S. attorney general, said he
was satisfied" with the verdict. 1t
was the first time that the govern
ment had proved that utterances
parallelling enemy prop aganda
could be seditious and attorneys
believed this precedent would be-
come of great importance in the
coming trial of % persons who were
indicted at Washington last month
The highlight of the government
case was testimony showing how
Pelley's statements published in the
"Galilean" paralleled IA Axis prop
aganda themes. This testimony was
offered by DR.. Harold d. Lasswell,
propaganda analyst, and Harold F..
Graves, Jr., assistant to the direc-
tor of the foreign broadcast intelli-
gence.

Reports from Copenhagen are to
the effect that Prime Minister Thor
valid Stauning died in hospital in
that city on May 4.
Stauning was born in the city
where he died, on October 26, 1873,
began his career as a messenger boy,
later on becoming a worker in a
cigar factory. This led to his be-
coming interested in the union labor
movement whose leading figure he
was destined to become in later years.
Since 1906 Stauning had been a
member of the Danish parliament;
during the first world war he was a
minister without portfolio in the
Zahle government; in 1924 he formed
Denmark's first Socialist cabinet, re-
tired from the post of prime minister
two years later, and again was ap-
pointed to that position in 1929; he
held it until his death the other day.
Stauning was instrumental in
bringing about number of domestic
social reforms, and in his foreign
policy he clung, as long as possible,
to the line of strict neutrality, in con-
sequence, he was often accused of
being either too friendly to Germany
or to the Anglo-Saxon powers.

show the best way to shear and
handle wool for market and to dis
cuss parasite control, trimming and
adequate pastures for the summer
months.
Demand for wool, which is at a
new high this year because of army
needs, is likely to continue, and sheep
men will profit by marketing their
wool crop in the best possible shape.
A great deal depends on the wool
being sheared dry, kept clean, tied
and stored properly, says Mr.. Karr.
Wool grades, prices and prospects will
be stressed this year at the demon
strations.
The demonstrations on Wednesday
will include number of spring and
summer practices which will help
sheep men put top wool and top
lambs on the market.
Successful treatments for worms
will be discussed and methods of
drenching shown. Dipping to control
ticks will also be stressed, with sug-
gestions as to how farmers can get
this done with least inconvenience
and expense.
Providing enough pasture for sum-
mer feed and rotating the pasture so
as to avoid parasites are two import
ant summer sheep problems that will
be discussed at the meeting.
