By the Way
BETH BLAINE

One of the many reasons for
the popularity of the Oficers'
Service Club at 1914 Twenty
first street is the interesting
group of service wives who act
as senior hostesses. There's Mrs.
John Coffey for one. A de-
nghtful lady with sense OF
humor who takes everything in
her stride, Mrs. Coffey is the
wife of a brigadier general now
overseas and the mother of a
boy who is following in his
fathers footsteps and is stu
dent at West Point. There also
are two young Coffey daughters.
one a graduate of George Wash
ington University. the other a
freshman at the University of
Maryland.
Mrs. Coffey feels that the Of
ficers' Service Club answers a
real need in Washington, espe-
cially during wartime. Its facili-
ties include rooms for transient
officers, a splendid housing serv-
ice (Which finds living accom-
modations for servicemen and
their families), a planned pro-
gram of entertainment each
night at the club, a good restau-
rant. cozy lounge rooms, etc.
There also is a committee (of
which Mrs. Coffey Is a member)
which has arranged Saturday
night dances at the various local
hotels under the sponsorship of
the club.
The Officers Service Club is
available to officers Of all the
United Nations-they can come
for a few hours between trains or
they can spend a few days there.
In either case, the club is a very
pleasant, homelike place in which
to pause.
In addition to her volunteer
hostessing at the Of1icers' Service
Club, Mrs. Coffey is a Red Cross
nurses aide at Walter Reed Hos
pital, and, we understand, very
splendid one. She also has
worked at the USO Penthouse as
a volunteer. She gets on we'll
with all ages-has a great fair
for telling story and making it
interesting. A fair which goes
back to her dramatic training at
the Leland Powers Dramatics
School in Boston, We suspect,
where it is said she was one of
the star pupils. For a year before
her marriage to her West Point
husband, Mrs. Coffey taught dra-
matics to children. After her
marriage, her histrionic ability
had its outlet in dramatic club
work at Fort Leavenworth, where
her husband was stationed, and
also at West Point-where, she
says, Washington,s Mason Wright
was the best amateur actor she
ever played with!

One Language
For HI World Is
Urged BY PEPPER
By Gretchen Smith.

One language to be taught in all
schools of the world as a contribut-
ing factor in preserving interna-
tional peace was advocated by
Senator Claude Pepper in a discus
sion of Our International Policy"
yesterday before members of the
Washington Club.
Presenting suggestions on what
the public can do to assist in estab-
fishing better international under
standing, the Senator pointed out
the far reaching benefits which
might be derived from a. common
knowledge of one language by the
nations of the world.
"The nations should decide on
the language which they will agree
to teach," he said. This would not
mean that other languages should
not be spoken also but one language
which would be agreed on should be
taught in all the schools of the
world, so that as children of the
postwar period grow up, they will be
able to communicate with each
other and in this way break down
the barriers of misunderstanding
and isolationism."
Warmly supporting plans for an
international organization for pre-
serving future peace, the speaker
said that peace depends not only
on preventing war but in removing
the causes, the friction. which bring
about war"
He placed the responsibility of
international understanding on the
public" which he said nodded the
actions of national leaders.
Even the President does not have
the power to commit our country to
a policy" he said. He merely has
the power to negotiate with for
eign powers and what he suggests
must be approved by Congress.
Senator Pepper voiced strong
disapproval of the legislation re-
quiring a two-thirds Senate vote
to ratify national agreements, de-
claring that the majority vote in
the Senate and the majority vote
in the House" should rule.
He explained the danger of the
"two-thirds vote whereby impor-
tant measures can be defeated by a
small group in the Senate by fill
buster, or other delay.
Today there is no one who can
assure a foreign power how long it
will take the United States to give
an answer" to important interna-
tional questions, the speaker con-
tinued.
I'VE must work out machinery
whereby We will be able to say
quickly when we can give answers
to these important matters" he en-
phasized.
In conclusion, Senator Pepper
urged that wider education be given
the public on matters of interna-
tional concern, declaring that the
United States must face the re-
sponsibility Of assuring leadership
in a movement for world peace.
Our country must be brave and
bold enough to declare what we
should do and be-" he asserted.
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, the club
president, introduced Senator Pep
per following a brief appearance of
the motion picture celebrity, Danny
Kaye, who spoke a few words on
the infantne paralysis campaign
Mrs. Pepper, wife of the speaker,
was among those remaining for
sandwiches and coffee following the
program.
