Fingerprint Files Here
Studied in Lake Death

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Mar. 20.-Identifica-
ton of battered, apparently tor
tured body which was washed
ashore from Lake Michigan at the
Illinois Indiana State line was
sought today in Washington finger
print files.
The body was washed ashore Sat-
urday, and experts managed to OBJ
tain fingerprints despite a police
report that the fingertips apparent
ly had been filed in an effort to
prevent Identification.
DR.. Harry Brandman, deputy
Lake County coroner, said hemor-
rhages under the victims finger
nails might have been the result OF
torture before he was shot in the
head, bound with wire and thrown
into the lake. A post-mortem dis
closed no water in the lungs.
Police sr culated that the death
may have been linked with the
trunk murder of James De Angelo
whose body was found stuffed in an
automobile trunk eight days ago.
Policeman Walter Brasel of Ham
mond, Ind, said the lake victim s
brown hair had been dyed black and
that a stain had been applied to
darken his complexion.
The man was clad in three shirts
and three suits of underwear from
which labels had been torn, and had
on oversize shoes and trousers.

Rankin Says Dies

To Destroy Congress
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
of Mississippi, said yesterday in a
statement that he believed that if
the Dies Committee continues its
investigation of Walter Winchell's S
broadcasts "it will uncover gigantic
conspiracy to destroy Congress and
set up bureaucratic control"
Mr.. Rankin referred to the action
of the Dies Committee last week in
issuing a subpoena for scripts and
recordings of Mr.. Winchells broad
casts for the last two years.
Men have been schooled and
trained in the technique of con-
trolling the Government from key
positions in the various depart
ments, bureaus and agencies" Mr.
Rankin stated
THE drive now seems to be to get
rid of Congress by discrediting it
and thereby deprive the American
people of the only chance they have
of expressing their will in the af-
fairs of the Nation. q This drive
stretches back over a period of more
than 20 years -.

Housing Center Calls
For Rooms for 10000
Girls in War Work

In an effort to find living quar-
ters for nearly 10000 civilian girls
being recruited for Government and
private war jobs here, the War
Housing Center today appealed for
additional single rooms in con-
veniently located sections of the
city
While several thousand rental
rooms now are listed with the War
Housing Center as vacant, most of
these are in outlying areas.
Many new Government employees,
having given up comfortable homes
to come here to aid the war effort,
have been unwilling to remain in
quarters located long distances from
restaurants and places of their en-
ployment, it was said.
Laundry Facilities Needed.
In addition, the Center empha-
sized. it is important that the girls
have use of laundry facilities, op-
portunity to receive an occasional
visitor In common room on the
first floor and use of a bathroom
which is not shared by too many
other persons.
Persons willing to rent rooms to
help relieve the shortage are asked
to list them with the War Housing
Center by telephoning EX. AGO,
Ext. 300l, or applying at 1400 Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
Government agencies and private
war industries have estimated that
to meet the need for requirements
and fill new jobs they will recruit
total of 9,400 civilian girls in the
six months period ending July /.
While some of the 9,400 already
have come here, the majority will
be recruited during the next three
months.
Government Dormitories Filled.
Until recently, the housing needs
of incoming girl war workers could
be largely filled through use Of Gov
ernment dormitories.
Most of the dormitories are now
filled to the extent that they will
permit new residents to remain only
five days while searching for per-
manent lodgings. This means, the
housing center said, that most of the
new girl employees will need to be
housed on a duration basis" in
private homes and rooming and
boarding establishments.

Steel Requirements
Reported Increasing,
Production Eases

Ey the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Mar. 20.-War re-
lquirements in steel ARE increasing
rather than lessening," the magazine
Steel reported today.
"Shipwork, landing craft, pontoons,
landing mats, overseas containers
and Signal Corps equipment are at
the top of preference, with direcuves
necessary for prompt delivery" the
publication said.
These products lean heavily on
sheet mills, which are handicapped
by the large portion of capacity en-
gagged on strip-plates. On heavy
gauges and hot-rolled sheets some
producers have nothing to offer be-
fore October. Cold-rolled sheets and
lighter gauges of hot-rolled can be
promised for August and Septem-
ber."

with her and her children. Only very
rarely are oficials invited to discuss
business at the noon meal
Mr.. Roosevelt returns to the White
House around 4 pm. and between then
and $50 does most Of his routine paper
work''-reading letters that must have
his personal attention, debating replies
and signing the hundreds of document
which law still specifies must bear the
Presidents own signature
The end of his business day is often
followed by swim in the White House
pool, kept the year around at comfort
ably warm temperature of 80 degrees
Swimming is the Presidents only physi-
cal exercise and one that he enjoys
thoroughly.
Evenings At Home.
The evening meal is the focal point of
the Roosevelt family's wartime social
life, as all purely ofncial entertainment
has been abandoned "for the duration"
Personal rather than oficial guests are
the rule. Occasionally some friend or
neighbor from Hyde Park b presentss
Sometimes Mrs. Boettiger's friends are
guests. When Mrs. Roosevelt is in town,
she frequently invites people representa-
tive OF her many and varied Interest,"
social service workers, artists and leaders
of youth groups.
Dinner often is followed by cinemas.
A large room on the second floor OF the
White House is equipped with a projec-
ton booth and serves as home theater.
The Presidents taste in movies is
catholic. Dramas, comedies and adven-
ture pictures all are in the presidential
film diet For more serious purpose
the President often sees Army Signal
Corps films fresh from the battle fronts
of the world.
Around 10 pm. the President often
bids his guests goodnight and retires to
his personal study next to his bedroom.
There he frequently dictates to a secre-
tary or studies state papers until mid
night.
Regular Conferences.
Superimposed on this daily routine are
conferences with the press at pm on
Tuesdays and 1890 am. on Fridays.
Also, he confers with his cabinet each
Friday at 2 pm.

ton smoothly without a skilled and
emcient housekeeper, and to Mrs Hen
rietta Nesbitt, who holds this post, the
Presidents aides give credit for the air
OF peace and plenty which pervades the
White House.
Keeping Fit.
The President has no special diet,
although Admiral McIntire keeps a
Watchful eye on the presidential menus
to see that they do not contain too
many calories. The Presidents taste
runs toward simple but well-prepared
food-steaks, chops, vegetables and
salads. His weight has varied only IL
pounds-from 178 to l9O-during the
more than decade he has been in the
White House. At the time of his recent
checkup at Naval Hospital, following
shortly after long rest in South Caro-
lima, the President weighed 1S0 This,
his associates say, is the weight he pre-
fers. although from a scientific view
point Admiral McIntire considers 1874 as
ideal for him.
In addition to- 4 not-too-heayy diet
and frequent swifns, the President keeps
his weight down by frequent messages,
given him by 1t. Comdr. George Fox,
member of Admiral McIntires staff.
His Special Hobbies.
Aside from his interests in talks with
friends and movies, the President has
three other forms of diversion which
take his mind from wartime duties. One
is his stamp collection, on which he
works some evenings. 1t was started
by the Presidents mother, the late Mrs.
James Roosevelt, around 1867. when she
was girl. She gave it to her brother,
Frederick A. Delano, who later pre-
sented it to the President.
The collection now numbers more
than $4,000 stamps, although the Presi-
dents aides say that none of them have
any high value individually The Presi-
dent specializes on North, Central and
South American as well as Hong Kong
issues, the latter because most of the
valuable stamps in his mothers orig
inal collection were from this British
colony.

When will this end? When will there
be enough big men in Congress to real
ize the injustice of our position and
grant national representation to the
more than eight hundred thousand peo-
pie in Washington who are denied the
rights and privileges of free and in
dependent government?
How ridiculous 1t is! Here for years
we have sent a delegation to the Re-
publican convention and one to the
Democratic convention, voting upon the
question Of who will be nominated for
the presidency, when both they and the
folks back home are powerless to vote
for the man they helped to nominate,
though from the early days of the Dis
trict it has taken a keen interest in
political affairs and has always had its
party organizations and clubs. Among
these were the Central Hickory Club

known as the Tammany Society of
Washington was formed when this city
was quite small town. At this period
this hotel was conducted by George w.
Lindsay and subsequently was known
as Browns Hotel before becoming the
Metropolitan.
Fortunately, and due to printers ink,
the birth of this political body can be
quite definitely set by write-up ap-
pearing in the National Intelligencer of
May 10, 1909, which goes on to say:
'TAMMANY SOCIETY OF WASHING
TON ANNIVERSARY MEETING.
"The society having assembled at the
council fire of the Great Wigwam Gind-
says HoteD on Friday, the 18th day of
the month of flowers and 317th year of
discovery MAY IL, 1909, proceeded to
the appointment of officers for one year,
when the following brothers were de-
clared elected, to wit:
Grand sachem, Henry Aborn; secre-
tary, William Lambert treasurer, Joshua
J. Moore: sachems, Williams, Lam
bert, w. r. Cozens, Joshua j. Moore,
Zephaniah Ferrall, George Andrews, R.
Dinsmore. Bernard Smith, William
Cooper, John Sessford, Samuel S. Ham,
ilton, Charles Jones, G. w. Lindsay,
Benjamin Burch."
Plenty to Eat and Drink
Evidently the Tammany anniversary
was an occasion for a convivial party
where there was plenty to eat and
something on tap to wash it down with,
just as there would probably be at any
other powwow or council fire held to
honor the great Chief Tammany. And
main one being long talk by Sachem
Bernard Smith.
Evidently the present custom Of eating
and then talking was reversed, for upon
this occasion, after the society had ad-
journed, 1t Is reported "a few Repub-
ncan friends were introduced into the
wigwam, when the long talk was de-
hvered by Brother B. Smith, after which
they partook Of an excellent supper,
and the following toasts were drunk.
accompanied with patriotic songs and
odes." And then followed II set toasts,
and several volunteers added to this
number and, of course. jefferson, Mad
ison and Clinton were lauded to the
skies.
Sachem Smith began his grafton, say
ing: Brothers, conscious of my inabil-
ity to perform in suitable manner the
task which your partiality has imposed
on me, should have declined the
attempt were not convinced you will
view with candor and indulgence the
many defects which fear will be found
in the talk am about to deliver"

which brought out Gen. Grant and

Democratic Club headed for a long
while by Capt. John S. Miller, now de-
ceased, and organized in 1880.
The jefferson Democratic Associa-
ton also was organized here in 1880
with Louis Emner as president. Then
came the Young Mems Democratic Club
in 1884, with J. Fred Kelley as its first
and last president, and James L. Skid
more vice president.
d. G.. Democratic Club
The District of Columbia Democratic
Association, organized in 1896. was a
lusty affair. Edwin A. Newman started
off as president, Robert E. Mattingly
vice president, Jesse L. Heiskell secre-
tary, William NICK. Clayton treasurer,
and the last named informed the writer
that this association carried on its rolls
before the campaign of 1896 closed 3,7o0
members and organized tours and pro-
vided speakers from its membership for
campaign trips throughout Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
For the campaign of 1928 Col Robert
N. Harper organized the Jefferson Dem
ocratic Club and became its president,
and the late Charles w. Darr was pres
ident of the AL Smith Club, begun the
same year, with a membership Of 1880
before the campaign was over. Even
the outlying parts of Washington have
had their Republican and Democratic
clubs. Brightwood, Anacostia and East
Washington being usually we'll organized
at times, especially in 1896, and George
town has been no exception.
Jackson Democratic Assn
One of the political organizations we
have with us today-the Jackson Dem
ocratic Association-has been in exist
ence continuously since it was formed
here in 1928 as the Jackson Central
Committee. Through the efforts Of this
club John P. Van Ness. John H. Brent
and Henry M. Morfit were elected dele
gates from this city to the first con-
vention Of the Democratic party, held In
Baltimore" in 1882 when Martin Van
Buren was nominated for Vice President
on the ticket with Andrew Jackson.
This was voting delegation, a priv
ilege not accorded the District again
until years later.
There seems to have been more pep"
in the presidential elections about that
time and earlier than there is today
At least, it appears so to the timers
who, many years ago, were just boys
romping over the commons where now
are skyscrapers, and fishing in streams
now turned into sewers.
Campaign Songs
The campaign songs were then known
and sung by many of the boys, each Of
whom, of course, had favorite and was
willing to fight for him. He could also
say some nasty things about the, other
felhw's candidate. and this sometimes
