Women's Ingenuity
Defeats Pinch Of
Housing Shortage
BY Gretchen Smith

Ingenuity and resourcefulnesS
have solved the housing question for
two Washington women, well known
in local club and church circles.
A short time ago, Miss Eta Mai
Russell, executive secretary OF the
Washington Council of Church
Women, received notice she must
vacate the little house at 478 N
street S.W., where she and her
friend, Miss Marguerite Griffin, had
lived for seven years, and which
had been converted by the two wom-
en- from crude store into an attrac-
tractive home.
Miss Russell had been visited by
more than 5000 church and club
women in the house, where each
summer she entertained for women
working with the doll adoption"
program, an annual project of the
Council of Church Women.
With doll adoption time close at
hand, Miss Russell was doubly wor-
r1ed at the necessity of finding a
new home. All real estate Offices

an apartment available" No extern
sion could be granted on her lease
as the house had been sold, and
Miss Russell found herself practi-
cally on her way with no place to
go, when an agent called to say
he had three rooms in a building
at ITO Connecticut avenue-not an
apartment-just three rooms.
Il hardly waited for him to hang
up the receiver, when / was on
my way" she laughed.
Miss Russell and Miss Griffith,
both good housekeepers, found no
kitchen in their new home. There
was not even a gas Jet, but there
were open f1replaces in all three Of
the spacious, high-ceilinged rooms.
A room at the rear Of the third
floor, where Miss Russell's suite is
located, was converted into an early
American kitchen. An iron grill
with two burners was installed in
the fireplace and camel coal pur-
chased for fuel. Early American

the room, in which a spacious closet
has been used as kitchen and china

set up on a table in the closet and
with the iron grill, the electric

kitchen as can be found in WASH

purpose. With attractive studio

.Hau|ers Hold
State Liquor

The Star Transfer Co.. haulers
of Michigan's liquor supply, today
won the first round of a battle 10
obtain $4,000 claimed from the
state. by locking up in their
private warehouses $1,000, 600
worth of state owned liquors.
Working under a day-to-day
contract following termination of
"a long time contract the COM
pany today refused 10 haul state
stocks and then locked up the
liquor TO force hurried meeting
of state officials.
Gen. Kunzig, business manager
of the liquor control commission,
on learning of the statewide
strike, met Immediately with
Atty. Gen. Rushton and Auditor
Gen. Brown and decided to pay
the $4,000 in order that the state
owned liquids be released for de-
livery.
Kunzig said that Star attorneys
have agreed TO open their ware
houses later today and resume
deliveries of the 100000 in
state-owned whisky impounded by
the truck company's strike.
Gen. KunZig then announced
that the state would file suit 10
recover $4,000 claimed due
through breakages and shortages
during the past few months.
The state had contended that
the $4,000 billed by the company
for hauling up TO Sept. Is was
only half of what the trucking
concern owed on its shortage and
| breakage account.
The flow of liquors TO state re-
tail and wholesale stores was
halted by the company's action
but deliveries were ordered TO be
continued after Gen. Kunzig prom
ised to pay the $4,000 claim. Star
Transfer representatives said.
Liquor Commissioner Flynn said
the company had agreed to give a
30-day notice of termination OF
the day-to-day contract but the
strike was called without any
warning whatsoever.

shook her head no. The boy must
bear the Dalton name. Maybe
some day circumstances would
change and she and her husband,
would be able TO reclaim him.
After Mrs. Dalton rejected the
adoption offer, the Children's Aid
Society sent Charles TO another
home because they did not wish
him 10 become too attached 10 the
people who wanted 10 adopt him.
Later he was shunted around
again and placed in the home of
Mrs. Martha Muggelberg, near
Marine City. where the final
chapter in his tragic existence
was written.

today over the charge by Election
Supervisor Distin that Political
Action Committee methods in
registering voters smack of
bribery.
Distin and his boss, City Clerk
Leadbetter. are feuding over the
Go program. and the argument
became so heated that one execu-
tive in the city clerks office put
on his hat and quit and was per-
suaded TO remain only by a per-
sonal appeal from Leadbetter.
ESSENCE OF DISPUTE
The essence of the dispute Is
this:
Distin, who has been working
on elections for IS years, be-
lieves citizens should be suffi-
GENTLY patriotic 10 register as
voters at city hall without fam
fare and coercion. especially
now that their sons and rela-
tives are dying TO preserve them
this right.
Leadbetter believes il is the
duty OF government 10 go into
the neighborhoods, open regis
tration booths and make easy
this first step in good citizen
ship. He is exuberant in his
praise of the activities of the
Political Action Committee.
