Voters
Map Campaign
For Home Rule
Varied Program
Being Planned

A varied program in behalf Of
home rule" for the District is be-
ing mapped by the voteless District
League of Women Voters.
Anticipating that the Auchincloss
plan for home rule will be presented
to Congress next month in the form
Of bill. the group is lining up vol
unteers to attend congressional
hearings on the measure and to re-
port back to the leagues research
group.
In the meantime. members have
been asked to promote interest in
District home rule by writing in
formal letters back home ex-
planning to their friends in the
States how they would be affected
by such legislation.
Mrs. Robert F. Leonard, a former
league president, pointed out that
very few State residents realize
that, under the present form of Dis
trict government, members OF Con-
gress must divide their time be-
tween major problems of national
and international significance and
the relatively less important ques-
tions of District affairs. such as the
selection of textbooks and trash
disposal.
| Members of the league also are
seeking Nationwide interest in the
Auchincloss plan by sending out
Christmas cards on the subject
which were prepared by Mrs. D'Al-
| ton B. Myers for the use of all local
civic organizations.
In an effort to put the home-rule
plan before local residents, a group
Of league members is preparing
printed and mimeographed infor-
nation which it plans to make
available to other organizations.
This group is under the direction OF
Mrs. Milton Dunn and Mrs. John
McClintock.
The league also has offered to
supply speakers on the subject to
local groups. These speakers are
trained to make five-minute gen.
eral talks or to participate In pam
els covering details of the proposal.
Mrs. Maurice Goodman Is in charge
of the speakers bureau. and re-
quests for the service should be
made to league headquarters.
The league, which is headed by
Mrs. John F. Thomas, voted at its
December business meeting to make
home rule for the District its ma
jor objective during the coming
months. t.

from publications for peasants and
farmers to those aimed at trade
unions, women, youth and even the
very intellectual readers, she ex-
planned.
The ration exhibit was obtained
for her by Lady Reading OF the
Women's Voluntary Services and
shows the amount of various foods
allowed the English each week.
While she was in Germany Mrs.
Noodle had the opportunity to study
practically every phase of the occu-
patton program in the American
zone. She was especially impressed
with the work being done along edu-
cational lines.

ing under very difficult conditions
and is doing a splendid job," she
said. The difficulties include made
quate buildings. lack of paper, pen
ellis and books and a teacher short
age
The Rehabilitation program has
| limited the number of teachers
available, she pointed out, and most
of these are in the older age group.
1T is hard for them to stand up
under the rigors of teaching In
dirty, overcrowded and underheated
rooms" she declared.
During her stay in Frankfurt,
Mrs. Noodle spent several days with
Frau Strecker, who visited in this
country last year and who Is now
working with the military govern
ment on a radio program for women.
while I was there, knew what 1t
was to sit down to a dinner OF soup
and mashed potatoes" she declared.
Her trip, however, had more
glamorous moments and one OF her
most interesting experiences was
having dinner at Kronberg Castle.
Throughout her visit in Germany
she was continually impressed by
the mere fact of the American oc-
cupation. "You can't imagine what
an odd feeling it gives you to see
our military installations in quaint
village in the Bavarian Alps" she
declared.
Mrs. Noodle has addressed several
groups since her return, including
the Board of Directors of the United
Nations Forum, in which she has
been one of the most active workers.

months in England, France, Italy
and Germany, found that men, as
well as women, welcome such ar
ticles. Shirts and sweaters make
excellent gifts for men and shoes
are urgently needed. she said. Ties
also are very acceptable. In fact,
that Christmas tie which friend
husband" is apt to scorn, probably
would do a lot to make some over
seas package a real success.
Since her return, Mrs. Noodle has
been busy rounding up SUCH items
for her own packages. In fact. one
of her friends claims that she talked
him into literally giving the shirt
off his back.
She also has been busy sharing a
fund of information obtained
through an intensive study OF con-
ditions in the four countries she
visited.
Attended Paris Meeting
Founder and chairman OF the
Womens Conference on Interna-
tional Affairs, she went to Paris in
September for the assembly of the
Womens World Fellowship. After
the meeting she made point of
visiting hospitals. schools, factories,
children's institutions and private
homes throughout her tour.
One of her missions was to answer
questions for some of the groups in
the women's conference. which rep
resents so national organizations
whose leaders come together from
time to time for flrst-hand reports
on various international meetings.
The souvenirs of her trip include
two interesting exhibits. One fea-
lures posters being used to advertise
Communist publications in France.
The other demonstrates the amount
of foods that Britons are allowed
under present ration restrictions.
Like many of the American dele
gates who attended the Paris as
sembly, Mrs. Noodle brought home
a warning against Communistic
propaganda methods in France.
Her exhibit of posters supplements
this message. "All of them make a
very human appeal" she declared,
pointing to a poster depicting two
attractive children with copies OF a
Communist daily tucked under their
arms.
Her most colorful poster, which is
approximately by feet, portrays a
boy and girl holding sheaves OF
flowers and wheat. ''It is the kind
of thing you are apt to see plastered
up on a building almost anywhere
in Paris" she said.
In addition to morning and eve
ming papers, she declared, the Com
munists are publishing variety OF
weeklies. designed to reach virtually
every group in France. These range

JJSO Spent $4,000
Here In 1916; Gets
$1,000 From Chest

A Frank Adams director of the
Jackson Square USO has releas-
ed some interesting figures to
show the extent of the job the
USO must face during 1947.
There are still two million men
in the United States armed for
ces, 215,000 in hospitals all over
the country. These figures repre-
sent a total often greater than all
of those who participated in the
First World War.
Some SAC are still in service
fro mthis county. Adams reports
that the door count figures at the
local USO provides the need for a
greater program in January 1947
than in 1916. Almost $4,000 used
the various facilities a month.
During 1916 over $4,000 was
spent in this community by the
USO to carry on this work. AS an
agency in the Key West Commu-
nifty Chest the USO is asking for
$1,000 to help defray this opera
tional cost or 1922 per service
man per year for those still on
active duty in Monroe ounty.

HOstilities' End
Does Not Affect
CT. Rights Bill

The Veterans Administration
has officially ruled that Presi-
dent Truman's recent proclamal
ton ending hostilities has no eff
feet on most of the laws admin
istered by the VA.
Foremost among these is Pub
lie Law 346, or the c.. l. Bill of
Rights, as it is better known.
Gene Anheir. Key West contact
officer, stated today.
The VA ruling held that the
date of the official termination of
the war rather than the cessa-
ton of hostilities is the dcterm-
lining factor in establishing the
deadlinc for the educational loan
and readjustment allowance pro-
visions of the G.. |. Bill
The same ruling applies to vo-
cational rehabilitation under
Public Law Is for disabled vet
Grams, Parker said.
Under the G.. |. Bill, loans may
be guaranteed or insured by the
VA up to 10 years after the end
of the war. Education or job
training may be started up to
four years after the war. Read
justment allowances for dis
charged veterans who are unem-
ployed expire two years after the
end Of the war.
Disabled veterans eligible for
education or training under Pub
lie Law l6 face no specific decd
line but they must complete their
training within nine years after
the end of the war.
In non-service death and dis
ability cases, rights depending
upon war veterans status alone
such as INSTALLATION. domiSilary
