Began as a Hobby

A quarter of century ago,
Mr. Galloway was in London.
saw a few prints, bought them
and found they held faScina-
tion for him. So he began coll
lecting as A hobby. He was in
the wallpaper business and
prints are not too far from wall
paper in the scale of things, so
perhaps the shift was natural.
Along came the depression
and the hobby of collecting
prints began to pay dividends in
the form of hard cash when the
pictures were sold TO pay for
necessities. Soon Mr.. Galloway
found that locating old books,
taking them apart for their
illustrations and selling these
was more lucrative than the
wallpaper business. So he's been
riding his hobby for living ever
since.

Before he went overseas, Gen.
Young was secretary to the Army

why he was given the welcome

Gen. Young is third generation
Washingtonian. His grandfather,

When it came to arranging the
Eisenhower celebration, Gen. Young
got together the Commissioners and
a number of civic leaders and made
some suggestions. The civic leaders
liked his diplomacy and accepted
his advice.
He explained that this should be
a simple celebration and promised,
with a grin, that after the war, the
Sd Division would march gladly
down Pennsylvania avenue. The
civic leaders looked at the Sd Divi-
sion insignia on his shoulder and
grinned back at him.
Although he was all for simplicity
and said he thought Gen. Eisen-

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has
become a member of the Sons of
the American Revolution. it was an
nounced today by Frank B. Steele,
secretary-registrar general of the

in goods and assistance to the
Revolutionary forces encamped at
Valley Forge in the bitter winter
of 1778.

Big Five Anticipate Victory
In Charter Revision Control

SAN FRANCISCO, June is Lp).-
Small nation opposition to q Big
Five veto over future changes in q
world security charter is cracking
up, and leaders OF the big power
bloc hope to win out on this issue
tonight.
In a long session of a conference
committee last night, Manuel Tello,
Mexican Undersecretary of Foreign
Affairs said the big powers should
be given this veto right. Otherwise
he argued an amendment might be
voted that would cause one of them
to pull out of the league and wreck
it. Belgian and Colombian dele
gates also argued that this veto was
justified
Earlier, the committee produced a
temporary split in the big powers
when France voted with the small
nations on two plans for automatic
revision of the charter:
l. Canada and Brazil Jointly pro-
posed that between S and 10
years after the league is set up, a
conference should be held to over
haul the charter. The Big Five
opposed this and the vote was %
for, II against, 8 not voting and
l absent. A two-thirds vote was
required, so the proposal failed
narrowly.
2. South Africa then proposed that
the amending conference be held
any time within 10 years. This also
failed with 28 for and II against.
France voted with the majority of
small nations in both cases.
Thereupon Hamilton Fish Arm
strong, representing the United
States, offered a compromise: II the
charter were not revised within 10
years, then at the end OF that period
the General Assembly should au-
tomatically consider holding a con-
vention for purposes of revision.
Several delegates hailed this as
"conciliatory" proposal which would
help ratification Of the charter by
their home governments, in the
event that those governments object
to provisions of the charter as it is
now being drawn.
But finally, despite the applause,
no action was taken on the Amer
ican compromise.
Last night several members urged
that the whole question be reopened
This appeared possible today, with
sentiment swinging again to the
South African proposal.
