person; that the alcoholic can be
helped and Is worth helping, and
that the problem is a public problem
and public responsibility"
Mrs. Mann, the first woman MEM
ber of Alcoholics Anonymous, an
Organization of persons who have
been addicted to alcohol and are
banded together to help themselves
and others fight the disease, told
the group of the growing number
of veterans who have joined and
are joining her organization.
Frightening Thought.
'It issfrightening enough to real
ize that these men, because of the
fear, worry and strain they go
through, need our help, she said.
1T is worse to think of those who do
not ask the help of our group, or
any one else. And the reason why
many drunks do not seek help. is
because of the social stigma at
tached to those who drink to excess.

Free Alcoholic Clinic
with Expert Staff Is
Suggested for District

If Washington is to meet the
growing problem of drunkenness,
and If 1t is to rehabilitate its citi-
zens who are excessive drinkers, and
some of its veterans who are likely
to become addicted, a free alcoholic
clinic with an expert medical staff
must be started, Mrs. Marty Mann,
executive director of the National
Committee for Education of Alco-
holism, told a special meeting of
the Women's Safety Committee of
the District American Automobile
Association yesterday.
Her appeal was echoed by DR..
George G. Rutland, District public
health officer, and the Rev. Francis
w. McPeek, director of the social
welfare department of the Washs
ington Federation of Churches, and
assistant director of the summer
sessions of Yale University's School
of Alcohol Studies.
Sees Peril to Veterans.
Too many people in too many
towns like Washington believe con-
flrmed drinkers do not deserve help
and therefore have done little to
combat the problem of alcoholism
intelligently, Mrs. Mann told the
group. She warned that because
of this attitude, thousands of re-
turned servicemen who begin drink
ing during the strain of civilian
readjustment may become "the for
gotten casualties of this war"
There are three attitudes-three
truths-that must be accepted by
the public before constructive work
can be DONE" she declared. 1--WE
all must realize that alcoholism is
a disease and the alcoholic a sick

Margaret Vardi
Gives Song Recital
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

Margaret Vardi, soprano, assisted
at the piano by Irving Owen, gave
a song recital last night in the Phil
lips Gallery that was attended by
large audience which cordially
greeted the young singer. Choosing
program that contained many of
the most beloved songs of the CLASH
cal era, French, German and Eng
ish composers, she gave variety by
including three arias we'll adapted
to her voice: the Och, Vieni non
tardar," from Mozart's The Mar
riage of Figaro" BATH, Batti," from
his Don Giovanni" and "Je veux
vivre," from Gounod's Romeo and
Juliet"
Gaining confidence as the recital
progresses, Miss Vardi disclosed a
lyric voice of unusual amplitude in
in the higher tones. 1t attained its
smoothest emission in the German
group; Brahms "Wie Melodien
zieht es mir" and "Immer leiser wird
mein Schiummer" and Schumann's
Der Nussbaum," die Lotosblume"
and 'Er is der Herrlichste Won AL
len These songs contained also
greater range of color and the senti-
ment was more warmly expressed.
The slight unsteadiness in Miss
Vardi's tone detracts from its quail
ity, which is of such fundamental
excellence as could be productive of
still greater artistic effects. In fact,
she is singer who could do much
more with her art than she does at
present. Her clear diction in Italian,
French and German shows her
knowledge Of what she is singing,
yet the hidden significance Of songs
like Lalo's "L' 'Esclave" and Debus-
sey's "RomanZe" was not revealed.
although her sound nusicianssnp
was to be appreciated.
The well-sustained line required
in works of the older masters repre-
sented by Bononcini's "Per la Gloria
d'adorarvi" and Scarlatti's "Sento
mel cor" was not so thoroughly COM
but in Durantes DANA,
fanciulla," Debussey's "Mandoline"
ana the Mozart ar1aS, her voice LOOK
on lightness and purity that in
creased its effectiveness.
Two traditional songs in English,
Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" and When Love Is Kind;
Quilter's Now Sleeps the Crimson
Petal" and the Romeo and Juliet"
aria concluded the program in which
Mr.. Owen provided finely modu-
lated background for the singer.

the local population over for while, and
that would be good not only there but also
upon American agencies which have long ear
ried a heavy load for Chinese relief
But covetous japanese eyes have spled 1t
out and launched IN offensive to seize it for
themselves, and so another battle OF some
ma gnitude flares up in territory served by
the Peiping- Hankow railroad. Two enemy col
urnns are in motion, Chungking reports, and
while a Chinese spokesman says the Chinese
welcome the activity because it serves to
thin out the Japanese and gives them a
chance to strike back, the view has strik-
ing resemblance to wishful thinking
The fact that several Allied airfields lie in
the path Of the onslaught gives the battle
news an additionally serious aspect. It is not
forgotten that American airfields have had a
hard time Of it since the Japanese set out
have been inadequately protected and lacked
to divide east and west China because they
sufficient war planes to be a potent weapon
against the japanese. Too many have had to
be destroyed to prevent enemy capture and
subsequent use, to infuse the outlook with
the Chinese spokesmans optimism.
