500 Jews huddled into eight small
wooden huts, "a sight beyond all
description" There were 1000 chill
dren, he said, and with the Army &
help he was able to transport them
to Switzerland.
The greatest and most serious
problem for the Jews, Capt. Schac-
ter said, was the Allied procedure
OF organizing liberated camps into
national sectors of self-government.
Though there were directives is
sued for every other nationality rep

none listed for the Jews, who were

A happy atmosphere prevailed at
the meeting of the Women's Auxil-

have been due to the well-filled

throughout the Nation are in more

A fen gently falling flakes, FORE
casting a deeper blanket today,
made a light covering for the snow
clad lawns in Spring Valley yester-
day. Guests arriving for the tea
given by Mrs. Charles McEnerney
and her beauteous daughter, Mrs.
Alan Philip Cusick, II, found the
f1agstone walk leading to the resi-
dence a bit precarious under foot,
but met a warm welcome when
they reached the inside. 1t might
have been Christmas, for all the
decorations. Even the white tree
with its blue lights, trimmed by
the former Nancy McEnerney. had
pile of little packages all around
its base. Nancy herself was a pic
ture in her Colonial gown of holly
red velvet. The gathered skirt fell
gracefully over a hoop and the
tight, off-the-shoulder bodice was
bordered with mink. A small red
velvet bow was tucked at just the
right spot in her pompadoured
hair. Mrs. McEnerney and her hus-
bands mother, Mrs. Nora McEner-
ney, who assisted in dispensing hos
pitality, both wore black. The for
ner's velvet gown was fashioned
with a peplum and the senior Mrs.
McEnerney wore a handsome lace
collar.
In the drawing room, bouquets
of deep red roses and pure white
gladiolas stood out in contrast to
the French blue damask draperies,
and over the mantle shelf a pastel
portrait of Nancy by a former
schoolmate picked up these colors
in their most delicate tones.
The tea table presided over by
Mrs. Howard H. Good and Mrs.
George F. Lull had as its center
piece a miniature tree. Mrs Good,
bride of Rear Admiral Good, con-
tributed to the gay color scheme with
her most becoming hat of red coque
feathers. Her black satin dress was
devoid of any trimming except a
diamond clip at the square neck
line. Mrs. Lull also wore black and
her hat of ostrich feathers was
white.
Others who were invited to as
sist the hostess and take their
turns at the tea table during the
afternoon were Mrs. j. Howard
McGrath, Mrs. George B. Tribble
Mrs. J. j. Mack, Mrs. william F.
ODonnell, Mrs. Kathryn Fuqua,
Mrs. Ajax Spriggs, Mrs. John Shu-
grue, Mrs. E. F. Huffman, Mrs
Harry Duncan, Mrs. Walter Gal
lagher, Miss Jeanne ODonnell, Mrs
George Clarke, jr., and Mrs. Owen
McKevitt.
Here for the holidays, before she
and her husband set of again
aboard the "Marymac" for Florida,
was Mrs. Mckenzie Dawson. She
wore a handsome mink coat and
high-crowned hat with a border of
striped ribbon. Mrs. Henry Beall
Gwynn reninisced with friends
who'd known her daughter, Mrs.
Fred Drake, when she was one of
the loveliest debutantes of some
several seasons ago. The former
Louise Harrison Gwynn now is the
mother of five small children, the
eldest 10, and she and her husband
snend most of their time In Fair.

DR.. Coulter Explains
He Left Court in Line
With Hospital Work

DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, head of the
Bureau for tuberculosis. who was
rebuked yesterday by the Commits
sioners for failing to wait in court
to testify against a man charged
with refusing to remain isolated be-
cause of tuberculosis, explained to-
day that he left the court to keep a
business appointment in connection
with the Upshur Street Hospital.
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech released a memorandum
from Health Officer George c. Rub
land transmitting the explanation
from DR.. Coulter. The city heads
charged that the action by Dr.
Coulter was without justification
and against public policy"
In his explanation of the incident,
submitted prior to the Commis-
sioners' rebuke, DR.. Coulter said that
when Municipal Court refused to
hear the case before the noon recess
he instructed Miss Rebecca Sweeney
of the Nursing Bureau to arrange
for a substitute witness.
He said that the only two doctors
available were also unable to testify,
one having previously a commit
ment with the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. and the other
having been called on a heart attack
case. DR.. Coulter said he was sched-
uled to confer in the afternoon with
the health officer on the utilization
of the Upshur Street Hospital.
DR.. Coulter denied that he talked
early in the afternoon with a police
officer about his not returning.
Although the original report of AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Henry
E. Wixon stated that the officer
talked to DR.. Coulter, recent check
by Mr.. Wixon with the officer re-
vealed that he had not talked with
the health official.
Dr.. Ruhland told the Commission
ers he found "some" of the state
ments about nonco-operation were
"unsubstantiated in fact" He added
that there had been no deliberate
act of nonco-operation and that
altogether it would appear that
the matter is beset by some rather
regrettable misunderstanding and
inaccuracies.
