Belgian.American Sculptor
Returns to WASHINGTON

Suzanne Silvercruys, internation-
ally known for her sculpture, has
returned to Washington, as her hus-
band. Capt. Edward Ford Steven
son, is now stationed here. Many
Washingtonians are acquainted with
her; she first came to the National
Capital as a child refugee from Bel
gium and attended the Georgetown
Visitation Convent. Her father was
the late Baron Silvercruys, president
of the Supreme Court of Belgium.
Her brother, the present Baron Sill
vercruys, now Belgian Minister to
Canada. once was counselor for the
Belgian Embassy here; consequently
she returned for many visits after
leaving the convent. Twenty-Five
years ago she was known as 'the
little Belgian girl" when she toured
the United States during the last
two years of World War I, speak
ing under auspices of the Belgian
Government. The late King Albert
conferred upon her knighthood in
the Order of Leopold.
She became a naturaGzed Ameri-
can in 1922, and continued her edu-
cation at Yale University School of
Fine Arts, graduating in 1928, after
winning the principal prizes open
to women students.
DR.. Silvercruys has an impressive
list of sculptures to her credit, in
public and private collections-por-
trait busts of ex-President Hoover
in the Louvain Library, of little
Princess Joseph Charlotte of Bel
GUM, of the late Lord TWeedsmuir
of Ensfield, Governor General of
Canada; in Government House, Ot-
tawa, and in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art, New York City; of
Lewis w. Douglas at McGill Univer-
sity, Montreal; of several prime
ministers and ambassadors of Bel
gium; and busts of Bishop William
T. Manning, James Truslow Adams

CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS, ANDRUS
BESPEAKS AID
Asks For Cooperation In The
Matter OF Getting Out The
Vote On September 5

In a letter to the members Of all
the associations with which he has
been affiliated, Mr. L. A .Andrus,
Candidate for Congress in the Demo
cratic Primary, said: "As a former
member of the Maryland Public Elk
penditures Council, and other asso-
Citations, I write to bespeak your CO.
operation at the forthcoming primary
election on September 8.
Because OF the transportation sit
uation, am wondering if you will be
good enough to assist in getting out
the vote this year BY using your own
ear to take as many persons as pos
sible to the polls
Irrespective Of who wins this pri-
mary, I, personally, hope that a large
vote viii t'un out. But I feel, that
unless many are provided with bet
ter transportation facilities than are
Immediately available the vote may
be surprisingly small and, consequent
ly, not thoroughly representative Of
the Shore area.
a big vote is a healthy democrat
ic expression of a peoples will and
any candidate who fears it is desev-
ing neither of the peoples trust nor
its vote. In too many instances, a
seemingly popular selection is in
reality a minority one due either to
entrenched power or to sheer apathy.
Will you, therefore, lend a helping
car"
