Reds Say Hurley Speaks
For u. 5. 'Imperialists

L
MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-Soviet Com
mentator Boris Yakovlev charged to-
day that Maj. Gen. Patrick j. Hur-
ley, former Ambassador to China,
was a mouth piece" for American
imperialist elements seeking ''in-
separable domination of the United
States in Asia and in other parts of
the world
Yakovlev's comment on Gen. Hur-
ley's resignation was published in
the newspapers Pravda and Trud
and was the first reaction in the
Russian press to the current con-
troversy over the United States
diplomacy in China.
Gen. Hurley's blast at American
diplomacy in China. the commenta-
tor wrote, "is an original maneuver
of the most impetuous imperialist
circles, under the flag of criticism of
professional diplomats and intro
duction of corrections in the policy
of the United States, not only de-
Tended the imperialistic policy OF
the referred-to circles but also tried
to hang it into the state leadership
of the United States.
Yakovlev declared that Gen. Hur.
ley's statement implied that main
tenance by the U. S. A. of the At
lantic Charter is mistake.

Taft Sees Hazard
In Deficit Spending

BY the Associated Press
NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 1.-Senato,
Taft. Republican, of Ohio said
here today that the greatest hazard
to the financial stability and future
of the United States would be a
continuation of the deficit spend
ing which, he said, was 1.-The
philosophy of the present admin
istration."
I'VE hear of planned economy, "
Senator Taft said in speech at
the 18th annual meeting of the
New Jersey Taxpayers Association
but it lmpreSSes any student of
Government in Washington that
there is no plan. No one in the
Government seems to have the
faintest idea of what the budget
will amount to, or what kind OF
tax system is necessary to meet it
The President has recklessly in
dorsed almost every project for
Federal spending which anyone has
proposed. His message of Septem-
Der 6 listed project after project
and his only reference to taxes was
to advocate a reduction of taxation
designed to stimulate business with

Dean of Architects Writes
OF Children S Homes in Book
Appleton Clark, 80,
Recalls Old Asylum;
Pleads Modern Cuuse

Appleton P. Clark, jr., dean of
Washington architects, has written
the book he wanted to write for so
years, ever since the days he used
to repair plumbing and fences at
the old Washington City Orphan
Asylum.
He wrote the book, Institutional
Homes for Children" to encourage
other architects to build institutions
where children can live happily and
leave to serve as useful citizens.
1.-The old asylum was like a barn
with cupola on top" he recalled
You can still see it behind the
stores at Fourteenth and S streets
NV. The State Department used
it for 10 years after it was built In
1865 and should have kept it,
Mr.. Clark never enjoyed an as
signment more than designing the
model Hillcrest village on Nebraska
avenue, which replaced it.
His book is a plea for the cottage
system rather than a single building
Small houses and plenty of land
give the atmosphere of home.
The institutions he has con-
structed all have been for normal
children. Mr. Clark hasn't seen the
plans for the new Receiving Home
for Children but he agrees with
the objection of civic leaders
against housing delinquents and
nondelinquents together.
A model home cost about $4,000
per child before the war, and con-
struction costs have risen 40 per
cent, he estimates. Mr. Clark doubts
that the Board of Public Welfare
can build an adequate home for ct
children on the $285,000 appropri-
ated by Congress.
Looks Back on improvements.
Just past his 80th birthday, Mr.
Clark looks back on tremendous i'm
provements in the institutions for
normal children in Washington
The private children's institutions
here are in unusually good shape
he reported.
Several of them he deSigned-the
Baptist Home in Bethesda, the Epis-
copal Home for Children and the
Children's Emergency Home. He
also has designed many of the
banks churches and private homes
of Washington.
An architect, not a sociologist
Mr.. Clark does not enter the dis.
pute over institutional versus fostea
home care. He sees advantages ir
both types and points out that many
agencies now are using both.
When the welfare agencies decide
that an institution is needed, it is
up to the architect to make it at.

he had suffered a memory lapse
of about two days starting around
July %.

away In the basement ceiling. They
said the son had told them he had
given the weapon to Roessler about
two years ago.

been hidden in the ceiling when he
bought the house in 1887.

Mrs. Roessler's makeshift grave was
instigated by her mother, Mrs. Jo-
seph Fabing, Cazenovia, N. Y. who
