Beauty Spots 10 Find
Ideal Weather Today

Clear skies with temperatures ris-
Ing into the 70s today will greet
Washington residents and visitors
anxious to welcome the first Sunday
of spring by strolling around the
beauty spots of the District, the
Weather Bureau predicted last night.
The forecast said there would be
only a few clouds in the afternoon.
The temperature most of the AFTER
noon will be in the 70s, reaching a
high of rs about o'clock. This is
II degrees above the normal So de-
grees for March Is. Low for the day,
the Weather Bureau said, will be 48
degrees at am, contrasting with
the 38 degrees regularly reached on
this date.
The warm weather has brought
out an early display of cherry bios
SONS. Horticulturists of the Office
of National Capital Parks said the
cherry trees around the Tidal Basin
are now in full bloom. Some of these
early Towering trees also are bloom
ing in East Potomac Park and in
other scattered sections around the
city
Easter Sunday seems likely to
come between the Towering of the
double blossoms and the loss of
the single lossoms, experts pre-
dicted. The double blossoms at
Hains Point are expected to flower
in 10 days or two weeks
ForSythia, cherry trees, spice
bush, yellow and white narcissus,
periwinkle and other early flowers
were in bloom yesterday as the
public was admitted for the first
time this spring to Dumbarton Oaks
Park. The park, now part of the
National Capital Parks system, was
formerly a section of the Dunbar
ton Oaks estate. The entrance is
through Lovers Lane, near Thir-
tieth and r streets NV.

a Herculean task they per-
formed recently.
In the space of two hours,
they rewrote practically their
entire Broadway hit, "Laffing

The show, from start to fin
ish, was loaded with gags about
Mrs. Roosevelt. They were
friendly gags; in fact the for
rner First Lady had seen the
show and laughed until she
cried.
Nevertheless they were gags.
They were based mainly on
Mrs. Roosevelt's penchant for
travelling; she was shown en-
tering a revolving door in tropi-
cal pith helmet and emerging
in Eskimo furs; stepping out of
a helicopter on a roof, and as
cending from a mine.
Ole Olsen didn't hear about
the Presidents death until

night. He contacted Chic john
