RUSSIA ACCUSED
IN UNRRA CASE

Two congressional committee.

chairman Of the subcommittee,
said 1--WE should end UNRRA aid
at once unless we can get better

tons.
Rep. Joseph F. Ryter, D., Conn.,,
another committee member, said
that before granting further
UNRRA funds the United States
should make certain Russia's
"abuse" Of UNRRA will be stop
ped.
I'VE must see to it that UNRRA
is operated as the relief and re-
habilitation organization 1t was in

After the honeymoon was over
and George and Virginia had start
ed two fine boys on their way,
they decided to try a truly CO.
operative experiment in art. They
felt that many Of the so-called "co-
operative" enterprises are just a
form of big business sailing under
false colors. So this is what they
did. They called together all their
married neighbors, wives of farm
|, ers, fishermen, stonecutters a d
others. These were mothers who
were doing their own housework
and taking care of their own chill
dren. Hence, the first requirement
was that the work must be done
at home.
The second requirement was
that to hold these mothers inter-
est they must be encouraged to
use their heads as well as their
hands. Hence, Virginia had them
actually design and create some
thing themselves. Yet, all of the
townspeople-except Dorothy Nor.

Police Merger Plan

The Metropolis View Citizens AS
sociation last night went on record
as favoring the proposed merger OF
the Park Police and the Metropoli-
tan Police.
Members said combining the two
forces would lead to better overall
protection for District citizens.
Earlier at its meeting at 200 Rhode
Island avenue NE. the association
took up plans for an observance of
We day. The concensus among
members was that observance of the
day should be limited to religious
services in the area.
Several members suggested that
a campaign against unnecessary
activities" on We day be undertaken
by the District government.
The group promised mass blood
donation to the Red Cross on We
day, and recommended that other
citizens associations do likewise.

reported Metropolis View citizens

waste paper during 1914. In jan
