Mrs. Margaret Devereux, former
president of the American Wonen's
Club of Berlin, wishes she were back
in the blockaded city in the role Of
a dependent"
Every American there knows he
has the protection of Gen. Lucius
D. Clay and that the general needs
every man, woman and child" she
told a press conference yesterday
at the Pentagon.
ANY resistance and confidence
we show now Is going to be worth
its weight in gold." she declared.
Wife of F. L. Devereux, a civilian
employe on Gen. Clay's staff, tenn
porarily assigned in this country,
Mrs. Devereux said they left Ber-
lin the first part Of August. At that
time the American colony was
smaller than it had been earlier,
she reported, but the reduction was
due largely to the exodus of per-
sonnel needed for the establishment
Of Bizonia. Gen. Clay made it per-
fectly clear that no American was
required to remain after the Russian
blockade began, but few left for that
reason, she said.
Paying glowing tribute to the
head of the American military gov
ernment in Germany, Mrs. Devereux
declared it was impossible to de-
scribe the effect of Gen. Clay's lead

4O-Year Actipitv

In ceremony in keeping with its
civic interests, the Housekeepers' AL
lance yesterday ended 40 years of
activity in the Nations Capital with
the donation of its treasury balance
to Children's Hospital for purchase
of new baby incubator.
The gift, augmented by donations
from former members, was presented
to John Martin, assistant director of
Childrens Hospital, by Mrs. Harvey
w. Wiley, who served for three
terms as president of the organiza-
ton.
The contribution, totaling s16l,
included $37 given by Mrs. Wiley
and s25 from DR.. Albert N. Baggs
given as a tribute to Mrs. Baggs,
who was a former Alliance presi-
dent.
The Alliance voted to disband
following the death in September,
1916, of its last president, Mrs. Mary
Wright johnson. OF the IA women
who served as president of the
organization from 1906 to 1916, only
four are still living: Mrs. Ruth
Snodgrass, Mrs. Henry Fenno Saw
telle, Mrs. Frederic Newburgh and
Mrs. Wiley.
The organization, which was de-
voted to homemaking, was formed in
November, 1907, by a group OF wom-
en- interested in improving the eff
cheney of domestic workers and in
studying the domestic problem from
the standpoint of the homemakers
and the workers.
To accomplish its aim, the Alli-
ance worked in cooperation with a
private dressmaking and millinery
school already in operation in the
city, and set up cooking school for
colored domestics. After this was
successfully launched, the Alliance
equipped sanitary laundry which
was operated at the school under
the direction Of the homemakers.
Other accomplishments of the
Alliance included study of wage
schedules for trained and unframed
workers, a registry and exchange
bureau and Inauguration of study
classes in home economics in the
public schools.
The Alliance also engaged in other
activities instrumental to the pub
Tic welfare. 1t was a pioneer in
the campaign to make wrapped
bread" mandatory. 1t also waged a
successful fight to clean up" the old
Center Market and later between
1888 and 1888 took an active part
in the fight to revise the Pure Food
Law,

Mrs. Devereux Pays Tribute
To Clay Leadership in Berlin

THE Russians respect him as they
do no one else on earth," she said
1.-THE Germans adore him. As for
the Americans, there isn't anything
they wouldn't do for him"
The fact that he and Mrs. Clay
are there, walking the streets and
carrying on normal activities, is
reassuring, not only to the Germans.
but to all of Europe, she emphasized
When the general recently returned
to this country, "he~ couldn't have
given the Germans greater present
than to leave Mrs. Clay behind. .

Discussing the work of the Amer

Of the Germans.
Crowds gaped when the women
erected typical Community Chest

ported gifts totaling $4,000. They
were equally astonished at the mere
thought that American women
would work 24-hours a day to raise
funds to be used for German well
fare agencies.
Thanks to the cooperation Of
American organizations and indi-
viduals, the club in Berlin also has
obtained great quantities of cloth

Five days after Congress had folded its
tents and silently disappeared in the night
--or in Philadelphia-your national capital
was hot and quiet.
The temperature was knocking into the
ninties, the humidity was fierce. YOU could
get room in a hotel without being a
brOther-in-law of the manager, and the
telegraph wires running out of this big
news center operated at sub-normal.
The re asOn n for the heat and the quiet
could be-thOugh not necessarily-a re-
action to the 8Oth Congress. Lots of folks
around the country seemed mad and heat

QUESTIONS
AND
ANSWERS

Editors Note: Ex-Service-
men and women are vitality
interested in the benefits
which their government offers
them through Veterans Ad-
ministratiOn and they are ask
ing thousands of questions
daily.
Q.-Will the Government
deduct money it paid on the
guaranteed portion of my loan
or the payments made for
schooling and subsistence al
owance from any future bonus
that may be authorized by
Congress?
A.-No.
Q.-May a veteran who is
receiving disability compensa-
ton receive Cat the same
time) subsistence allowance
under the G. I. Bill?
A.-Yes.
Q.-I am a World War II
veteran and l desire to pur-
chase car to go to the coast
and get a job. Will Veterans
Administrator guarantee
loan for the purpose?
A.-No. VA will guarantee a
loan for a car only when the
vehicle is to be used for busi-
ness purposes.
Q.-How can l show that
my parents are dependent on
me for support?
A. - Dependency will be
held to exist if your parents do
not have an income sufficient
to provide reasonable mainte-
nance for themselves and
members of their family under
legal age, or members of the
family otherwise dependent by
reason of mental or physical
condition.
Q.-I cashed the compensa-
ton check that VA sent me.
Does that mean that l am sat

which was awarded you.

Ship Of State
By RUTH TAYoR

Many centuries ago Chinese philosopher
wrote of government: "The king is the boat;
the common people are the water. The water
can support the boat, or capsize it."
What was said then of ancient China is
true today of our modern democracy Our gov
ernnnent requires the support of all the people
or it sinks. Government does not mean
particular leaders, but it does mean the repuh-
lican form of rule and the democratic way of
life
We elect our own leaders after free and
open discussion. We, through them, make our
own laws. We, through them, delegate certain
powers to our Chief Executive. Therefore, it Is
up to us to support the boat of our own build
ing-to abide willingly and cheerfully by the
laws we have part in making, and to carry
our full share of the load.
Organized Labor alone is not the common
people. But Organized Labor plus the unorgan-
lied workers, plus the farmers, plus the bank
ers, the lawyers the doctors, the preachers, the
housewives-all taken together are the COM
mon people.
The party in power, those who hold public
office, are not alone the king or the boat They
are but part of the whole and they sail or
sink as they are supported by the people.
How we come through the perilous times
ahead-through the heat of a political cam
paign, through the turmoil of embodiment and
war threats in the remaking of devastateGl
world-will depend upon ourselves. There
must be no tidal wave of demands by any one
group to swamp our Ship of State. There must
be no eddying whirlpool of internal conflict to
suck it down into the depths of the Sea. There
must be no hidden sandbars of resistance on
which it might founder.
We have seen what has happened when the
ships of other countries have disintegrated. We
must support the boat of our way of life, for,
If 1t capsizes, the argosy of the hopes and
dreams of common people the world over will
go down with it.

We Won, But ---

An attempt by the SOth Congress to
nlace a gag on portion of the American
press has failed-and in this failure the
CIO won real victory.
Now the CIO News and other union
publications can print what they please
about political issues and candidates with
out fear of Taft Hartley Act reprisals.
This they couldn't do prior to June Il,
when the US. Supreme Court handed
down an important decision.
Congress- attempt to curb the labor
press came last year when it wrote a
'politicaI expenditures" provision into the
TIL Law.
The CIO decided to test-portion of this
provision dealing with union press. Last
July ID President Murray's endorsement
of Maryland congressional candidate was
carried on the front page of the CIO News
Murray and the CIO were indicated.
Federal Judge Ben Moore dismissed the
case. holding the indictment was uncon-
stitutiOnal. The Dept. of Jutice appealed
TO the Supreme Court.
The High Court in effect, said Judge
Moore had taken the correct action.
The Court went little beyond this, except
to say that the political expenditures Sec
ton did not apply to regular union news
papers.
