lust Ab0At
Washington
Bv HObe Ridinas Miller

The servant problem in Wash
ington, while probably no worse
than in any other American city,
has long dominated tea-table talk
among a handful of Capital host
esses who proclaim that the press
of social duties makes it impossible
for them to spend much time on
domestic chores. Recently, however,
the difficulty in keeping chauffeurs
has been greater than in getting
efficient and reasonable maids, and
Washington women do like to be
driven. Many men who formerly
drove official cars now have good
jobs in Federal bureaus, while
others are doing very well in taxi
cab businesses for themselves.
Nothing is harder to find in Wash
ington than a man who wants to be
a chauffeur. Representative Sol
Bloom and his daughter, Miss Vera
Bloom (who, by the way wrote that
book There's No Place Like Wash
ington") solved the problem by hir-
ing a woman driver. Best I've ever
had-or, at least, in long time, y
said Miss Bloom. only I have to
open the door for myself. I haven't
yet reached the point where I can
sit back and wait for woman to
crawl out of the front seat, walk
around the car and help me out. Il
Mention of the servant problem
a few lines back reminded me of an
experience naval officers wife re-
Gently had in trying to find laun-
dress in Washington. Answering a
newspaper advertisement, she called
the designated telephone number
and asked, DO you do mems
shirts?"
mo, ma am; they're too hard"
What about fat work."
'No, it's too hard, too
well, what do you do then?" was
the final exaSperated question.
"Oh, just likes to do little things
like stockings"
That gives you an idea of the way
some things are in postwar Wash
ington.

'Sisterb00d Holds
annual Luncheon
BY Ruth Dean

The Sisterhood of Adas Israel
Congregation yesterday celebrated
the annual feast of Hannukah with
a gift luncheon attendance that
filled the Mayfiower Hotel grand
ballroom to capacity.
Officers and committee chairmen
of the Sisterhood as we'll as presi-
dents of other Jewish women's
groups were seated at the head
table, in the center of which was
the candlebra with its eight lighted
candles, symbolizing the 2,000-year
tradition of Hannukah.
Addressing the group, Mrs. Henry
Gichner, president of the Sisterhood,
declared "it is significant that in this
year of victory, when the forces of
good and freedom have conquered
the forces of might and intolerance,
that the celebration of Hannukah
has greater meaning in that it
commentaries similar conflict
1000 years ago for the same ideals. -"
Supporting Mrs. Gichner's thought,
Rabbi Solomon H. Metz told the
group that though the Allies have
reason to celebrate victory over the
Nazis, sit is one thing to destroy
the military power of the Nazis and
another thing to destroy their spir-
itual power. The world is living in
a spiritual vacuum, left by the de-
struction of moral values by cyni-
cism and easy living" he declared.
The Nazis filled that vacuum and
unless we regain the spiritual values
we have lost, we have not conquered
Naziism"
With the same charge that the
youth of today is living only in terms
Of "the present." DR.. William A
Ryan, national director of the
armed services program, National
Conference of Christians and Jews
spoke to the group in serious anal
ysis of the implications of this state
of mind.
Admitting that the present gener-
alton possesses qualities of wisdom
understanding and ability, the
speaker nevertheless deplored the
fact that in thinking in terms OF
today" it has lost a sense of con-
tinuity" with yesterday" and has
disqualified itself to pass on values
to tomorrow.
The proceeds from the luncheon
which was arranged by Mrs. I. E
Levinson and Mrs. Abe Shefferman
will be the Sisterhood's gift" to the
various institutions and charities
which it sponsors.

10th Century club
old of Poland !

A dark picture Of starvation, death
and disease now ravaging devastated
Poland was presented before the
Twentieth Century Club yesterday
by Jan Wszelaki, former economic
adviser to the Polish Foreign Office.
Guest speaker at luncheon at the
YWCA, Mr.. Wszelaki told of the al
most complete loss of live stock
which his country has suffered DUR
ing the past five years, enhancing
difficulties of national recovery and
complicating the severe problem OF
food shortages.
The clothing shortage is so acuts
that according to 1943 estimates IS
per cent Of the adults and IS per
cent of children were without shoes,
the speaker said.
This proportion increased natu|
rally during the last three years.
he added.
The only hope of saving a part of
Poland's rs ,oO0, 900 people from death
this winter is assistance from
UNRRA, the speaker declared.
Recalling his anxiety at the recent
hesitation of Congress to appro-,
pirate sufficient funds for UNRRA,
Mr. Wszelaki added, 1T would have
meant death for hundreds of thou
sands of innocent people whose only
fault is that they happened to be
born in Eastern Europe. If UNRRA
continues to act. it is not going to
save every one. People are going to
die like flies during this winter from
hunger and exposure and epidemics.
In Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania and
Hungary, in Austria and in Ger
many, there will be hecatombs of
dead before August, 1916. But
UNRRA is going to save many Of
those who otherwise would be dead"
Concluding, the speaker said, MY
program is to advocate every pos
sible help for $4,000 900 heroic and
unhappy countrymen of mine"
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith intro
duced the speaker Mrs. Howard
Nichols, club president, presided.

AdmiraL YarneW
Speaks ON Japan
To COP Women
BY Gretchen Smith

The United States should get out
of Japan, lock, stock and BARREL"
following assurance that all military
armament, secret police records and
other data are destroyed and, "let
the japanese run their own govern
ment," Admiral Harry S. Yarnell
declared yesterday.
The former commander in chief
of the Asiatic Fleet, in an address
before the League of Republican
Women at the Statler Hotel, pointed
out some of the problems involved
in the occupation of Japan.
Citing expense as one factor
which alone makes occupation of
other countries undesirable, the
speaker declared, I'VE should be as
sured Of certain bases from which
we could make necessary inspections
of the country by aircraft and then
get out and let them run their own
government. We should also let the
Germans run Germany" he added.
I'VE can't impose our forms of gov
ernment on other people"
1liC opSdhCl uCCldICo JlluL ia pan
is ended as a military power and is
incapable of becoming one for many
decades.
Admiral Yarnen advocated strong
support of the Chinese nationalistic
government with loans, ships and
other materials and added his belief
that we should "stay in China" until
the japanese are out entirely.
The peace of the Far East
depends on stable, democratic and
strong government in China" he
asserted.
Touching on other Far Eastern
matters in connection with world
peace, the admiral expressed his
confidence in future friendly rela-
tions between Russia and China.
He also voiced the opinion that any
talk of war between Russia and
the United States is poppy-cock.
They have nothing we want and
we have nothing they want, except
exchange of trade"
Eventual independence should be
assured the Far Eastern colonies as
soon as they have proven able to
rule themselves, he continued, Just
as the United States has assured
independence to the Philippines.
incidentally, he added. the destruc-
tion in the Philippines will require
many years more of economic assist
ance from the United States
| Summarizing the complex prob
lens of the Far East, Admiral
Yarnell concluded, "the only hope
for future peace is to get the United
Nations Organization working as
soon as possible. If we concentrate
our efforts as much on that as we
did on developing the atomic bomb,
We are bound TO meet with success. "
Mrs. Joseph harrington, program
chairman. introduced the speaker.
Mrs. William Culbertson, president,
presided.
