Sculptor Adelaide Johnson
Awaits tooth Birthday Party

Sculptor Adelaide johnson Is look
ing forward eagerly to the hour of
4 pm. today, when a few faithful
friends are to gather for what she
said might be" her Tooth birthday
anniversary party. but which "cer-
tainly would be-" her last.
She was happily getting out her
sole party dress and rare old man
tilla she has saved for years. Her
morning setting-up exercises which
she performs without fail-were
over, and she hustled about the
small and sparsely furnished house
at 230 Maryland avenue NE, pre-
pairing for this afternoons festivities
Mrs. Johnson, a valiant fighter for
women's rights in the days when
crusading females were regarded as
fanatics or worse, has always re-
fused to tell her age.
RebelIed at Custom.
when I was younger, woman
was supposed to do certain things
when she reached certain age"
she said. II refused to sit in q
corner and knit, so swore my
mother to secrecy as to the year OF
my BIRTH
Her trends, however, said she
must be approaching the century
mark.
AS sincere in her faith in God as
in her answering devotion to the
cause Of women's rights, she hap.
PLY proclaimed her certainty thai
"she wouldn't be around for the next
birthday"
I'll be glad to co." she said. "Ive
lived long enough"
Although she still prays the Gov
ernment "or some one" will preserve
her statue-filled home as a museum
after her death, the bitter expert
ences of the last few years have
been forceful blow to her hopes
Almost Evicted.
Nearly dispossessed eight years age
after her house was sold at tas
sale, she hired a man to smash
many of her works rather thar
put them in storage. Her home
was saved temporarily by the inter-
cession of Representative Bloom
Democrat, of New York.
A small group of friends who
admired the artist and champion
of women's rights banded together
and undertook support of the still
active old lady and the payment
of rent to the new owner.
Look at the things in this room, u
she declared, digging through the
piles of old manuscripts, books and
paintings. II have here the record
of an era-and the record Of wom-
ans fight to be on an equal with
men.
These things must be preserved
after I die," she emphasized. But

Topper, an almost totally blind
dog, wagged his stubby little tail at
the airline employees and photo
graphers he could not see. But he
seemed to know they were there.
They were present late yesterday
to make sure he was well attended
on being unloaded from the plane
which brought him here from De-
troit for an operation on his eyes.
The surgery, which is to be per-
formed by DR.. Mason Weadon of
the Abbey Hospital for Animals,
2119 Eighteenth street NV, may
give sight back to the 7-year -old
wire-haired terrier.
There was a touch of red on the
nose of the brown and white dog.
Every once in a while, during the
transfer from the plane TO an ex-
press truck. he would wrinkle his
nose as if to assure himself the spot
had not been rubbed off.
Given Parting Kiss.
The spot was the imprint of the
lips of his mistress, Miss Lucetta
Bonning, 81. of Detroit. She kissed
Topper, cried a little and wished
him well in the operation, according
to Stewardess Jean Nagel of Cap
ital Airlines.
Evening star., 1947-09-26

Topper was something of a
Christmas present to Miss Bonning
a few years ago. With unerring dog
sense, he strayed into the home of
the pretty blond on Christmas eve
in 1941 and since then has been a
kingpin in the Bonning house.
Miss Bonning's father, John c.
Bonning, official of the Nash Kel-
vinator Corp, in Detroit, said he
was uncertain whether cataracts
would be removed from the dogs
eyes or whether the cornea from the
eye of another dog would be trans
planted to give Topper partial sight.
2 Weeks for Convalescence.
According to preliminary plans,
Topper will have a two-week con-
valescence in the hospital before he
goes back to his home. He will be
returned here three weeks later for
a similar operation on the other eye.
Stewardess Nagel wouldn't mind
bringing Topper back here again at
that time. she indicated, because
she has wire haired terrier just
like him in Detroit.
Topper was real good on the
trip, although a little bit nervous, ~
she said, as she Rugged the afflicted
dog. HE rode In the baggage COM
partment, right behind the pilot"

d Million Revenue
From Sales Tax Seen
By the Associofed Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. State
Controller James j. Lacy predicted
last night Maryland's per cent con-
sumer's sales tax would bring In at
least $25 ,000,0 900 during its first year
of application.
When the sales tax law was passed
at the 1947 General Assembly State
officials estimated 1t would add about
$18, 100000 annually to Maryland
revenues.
Mr.. Lacy based his increased esti-
mate on collections for the first two
months.
About 1888 900 was turned over
by merchants in July and Mr.. Lacy
said the August figure would be
about $1,800,000 when all returns
are in.
He said tax income can be ex-
pected to increase from month to
month"
Members of the Montgomery
County delegation to the General
Assembly today disputed Gov. Lanes
contention that the Maryland sales
tax is necessary to improve the
States educational system.
At the same time, the delegation
reafdrmed his intention to work for
repeal of the levy at the coming
special session Of the Legislature.
Gov. Lane made his statement In
speeches last week at Bethesda and
Baltimore.
The delegation, while emphasiz-
ing that At supported legislation
providing for increased State aid to
schools, argued that it is not neces-
sary for such funds to come from
the sales tax.

Graduate Students
In Nuc|ear Physics

Catholic University, one of the IA
universities in the Southeastern sec
tor of the United States named yes
terday as participants in the Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies,
today revealed the nature of its
participation.
In the future Catholic University
will train graduate students who are
interested in nuclear work on it's own
campus, as will the other universities,
said DR.. Karl F.. Herzfeld, head Of
the department of physics.
Work which needs equipment not
available at Catholic University will
be done at Oak Ridge, Tenn, either
at Clinton Laboratory or the labora-
tories of the manufacturing plants
there.
These opportunities to work in
nuclear physics will be awarded
under stiff competition at c. u. and
the other universities, DR.. Herzfeld
SAID. students OF non-participating
universities will be eligible to COM
pete.
"The number OF experts is still
woefully small" said DR.. Herzfeld
"and progress depends on trained
men over more than on equipment. u
Prof. F. Leo Talbot, In charge
of nuclear work in G. us physics
department, has spent several
months in Clinton on nuclear re-
search, the first staff member Of a
participating university. for whom
such arrangement had been made,
DR.. Herzfeld said.
The University Of Virginia at
Charlottesville is the other par
ticlpating university in this area.

4 Agencies Handling
D. T.. Finances Ask
$1,%2,68S for '49

-Four agencies handling the Dis
trict's finances have estimated they
will need 81 ,482, ,6S8 for their work
in the fiscal year 1948-9, District
Budget Officer Walter l.. Fowler an
nounced today.
This combined appropriation re-
quest Of the offices OF the city
auditor, assessor, collector and
purchasing officer is one of the more
cheerful portions of the record
breaking $144, 900 900 District budget
estimate now before Mr.. Fowler. It
represents an increase of only 8 per
cent over this years appropriation
Of $1.376.408 for fiscal service
agencies.
The increase over the current fiscal
year in dollars requested is $l06, ,208.
The figures break down this way
among the four agencies:
The auditors Office wants $438 ,12O
for 1949, as opposed to the $40o,72o
it is spending this year-an increase
of $35 400. The increase Is to pay
the salaries of a $7,102-a-year deputy
auditor, and six other new employees
to operate new accounting controls
In accordance with the recommenda-
tion of the Controller General.
The assessors Office wants $23 500
more than the $574 900 1t is spending

Higher Pay in Schools,
u. 5. Job Cuts Reduce
Shortage Of Teachers

Higher salaries for teaching Jobs
and either the obolition or lessened
security of the jobs to which teach
ers turned in wartime are serving
to correct the serious teacher short
age here, according to the United
States Employment Service.
Fred z. Hetzell, director Of the
District USES, said about $50 ex-
perienced teachers are now avail
able on the organizations rolls,
while job openings for teachers have
fallen off considerably. He added
that many Of those seeking jobs do
not meet the requirements of the
public schools here.
Reductions in Federal employ
ment. he said, had a part in the
present situation. In addition, the
recent pay increases for teachers
are drawing former teachers back
to schools both because of the pay
considerations and because the jobs
for which they left teaching are less
secure.
DR.. Hobart M. Corning said that
despite this condition, the District
public schools have many positions
filled by temporary appointments.
There are more than 200 on
temporary tenure in the white ele-
