peoples who have suffered so much
hardship? In offering merciful aid
through tbs phase of our world
wide services we are undoubtedly
contributing to the future peace and
stability of the world"
Mr.. Grew appealed for continued
help in the current District Red

overconfidence, now that the drive
has reached the three e-fourths mark.

over the top" he stressed.
Mr.. Grew described how the Red

aid to four dozen war-torn countries
abroad in the rehabilitation and,
relief of stricken civilians. There
is need today more than at any

els were children, Junior members
of the Red Cross.

honor guests, the attendance at
the luncheon which was held in the
Washington room of the Washing
ton Hotel, included many disting-
uished guests and Red Cross repre-
sentatives.
More graphically than words, the
children, all students at the Pet
worth Elementary School, demon
strated the work that is being done
by the American Red Cross in cloth
ing Europe's children.
To the applause of the audience,
little tots and older children strolled
down a ramp in the center of the
room, modelling a warm ski suit or
a knitted dress or carrying a stuffed
toy animal that represented the long
hours Of cutting, sewing and knit
ting of thousands of women and
children Red Cross volunteers.
In her comments on the fashion
show, Miss Austine Cassini said
that over $4,000 garments like the
ones the children modelled, were
produced and shipped overseas by
the District Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross last year, and that
of this number, more than 10000
went to foreign war relief.
In reference to this phase of Red
Cross work, Mr.. Grew commented
in an address preceding the fashion
show:

7extof Statement on BREWING

MIR. Luckman said that he well
coined this indication of co-opera-
ton by the brewers, and that while
the stocks OF wheat owned by the
brewers or contracted for by them
are comparatively small, the release
of these stocks and the elimination
Of the further use of wheat would
be a contribution to the conserva-
ton program. He said that he also
believed that 1t was q constructive
step to eliminate the use of table
grades Of rice in the brewing of beer
and to increase by-product yield.
Further Support Sought.
He said, however, that he hoped
and believed that the industry and
its individual members, upon fur
ther consideration, could and would
be able to make additional contri-
buttons to the conservation drive.
He pointed out that the. brewers Use
substantial quantities Of corn in ad-
dition to the barley that is princi-
pally used in the making Of beer.
II accept on behalf of the Citizens
Food Committee" Mr.. Luckman
said, "the proposals which have
been made today to make available
more grain for the critical and
urgent task of conservation. and I
appreciate the sincereity of the work
of the representatives who have
been meeting with me. But I be-
lieve that all industry and all Amer
leans must do their utmost If we are
to accomplish our great voluntary
undertaking.
With the firm conviction that
further consideration will enable the
brewing industry to offer a larger
program, meeting is being called
early next week to consider this
entire problem and to formulate a
program which will represent the
utmost that the brewing industry
can possibly and reasonably con-

"All we've got to do Is support
starving people who are friendly to
the democratic way and we can Or
ganize the world to help us to that, +"
he said. "An intelligent all-out pro-
gram to win the peace could relieve
the situation in less than a year.
I'VE have the choice now of
spending little to help Europe back
on its feet or facing the alternative
of spending 10 times as much for
continued military preparation if
not for conflict"
Pepper Offers Views.
Senator Pepper. Democrat. of
Florida offers a still different view.
He asks an immediate session Of
Congress to consider the long range
program.
The Florida Senator says that
trying to sell either a short-range
or long-range program on an anti
Communist basis Is a mistake.
He reasoned that large groups of
Communist workers in France, Italy
and other nations will not join in
any such program" and will doom
any worldwide cooperation among
democracies to failure.

Drivers New Tests
Would Cost $4,000

Unless $4,000 for the employment
of additional personnel is included
in next years District appropriation,
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
will be unable to place in effect his
plan for re-examination and finger
printing of automobile drivers every
six years.
The request for funds is yet to be
approved by the Commissioners.
The test would be independent of
the regular license examination and
the fingerprinting would be included
as part of the re-examination.
Mr.. Keneipp said he was aware
that his plan was one that would
not arouse immediate public en-
thusiasm."
But take q look at the accident
record" he said. "Too many reports
describing briefly the loss OF life or
Gripping injuries state that the
driver did not see the person he
struck or did not know the speed
limit. The re-examination is aimed
at eliminating those two breeders Of
negligent homicide"

of Congress necessary"
while conditions are bad in Ger

happy to find the situation is less
critical than I had expected"
Mr.. Vursell said that aid to Ger
many and Austria probably would
have to be increased" He assai1ed
the role of the Russians in the
occupation of those two countries,
saying "in every instance the Rus
slams in their zones are doing every
thing possible to retard and prevent
the rehabilitation of Germany and

Mr.. Case said the State Depart
ment and the administration had
failed to explain to European ma
tions that Secretary Marshall was
not empowered by Congress to make
any offer of assistance.
Administration Criticized.
There has been a regrettable
lack of effort on the part of our
administration officials to make
clear what the true situation is,"
he said.
Mr.. Case said that when British
Foreign Secretary Bevin grabbed
with both hands cat the Marshall
proposaD he apparently succeeded
in giving picture which is not
warranted when you know the way
in which the United States actually
does take action.
/ Whether Mr.. Bevin intended 1t
that way, he succeeded in putting
the United States on the spot" Mr..
Case said.
Referring to the Congressional
Committees investigating conditions
in Europe, he said:
while I think Congress will give
careful and even sympathetic con-
sideration to conditions that will
be reported by these various COM
mittees it should be elemental that
an elected Congress is not going
to appropriate funds and levy taxes
in the United States to establish
conditions in other countries on
levels better, in some instances,
than at home or higher than prewar
levels abroad"
Mr.. Case said the United States
was in a different position in Ger
many and Austria, since, as an
occupying power, "she is responsible
under international law"

Most of the lawmakers say they

communism" from covering italy,
France, Austria and other parts of
Western Europe.
Most of them are uneasy about
sending large amounts Of food over

breadwinners here are angry about
