THE AMERICAN SMILE

THE AMERICAN SMILE
Something has got to be done
about the American smile. It has
gone far enough. We hereby come
out for federal smile control, and
quick. Any party promising it gets
support.
Desperadoes who kill unarmed
people in cold blood appear in the
newspapers smiling: kidnapers of
little children grin at the reader
from ear to ear; young women ar
rested on one charge OF another
pretty themselves up and register
happiness and delight from the po-
lice wagon.
The other day two bankers, a ia
Their and son, whose bank had been
ruined by the thefts of $4,000 which
was used to bet on horse races, ap-
peared in the papers walking right
into the cameras with the smiles
you would have expected only on
men who had just made a hole in
one or hit the jackpot in a radio
contest.
They were not sickly grins-
there was nothing of the forced
smile about 'em-they were the
Form No. 1 smile worn by
movie heroes, candidates for
public Office, beauty contest
winners and winning baseball
pitchers!
The elder banker, 70, had started
and built UP a big bank. The son
with him was one of the top Off
GERS. Their bank was gone and
their private fortunes swept away.
they said. Another son vas in the
hoosegow for looting the institu-
ton.
We have been trying to figure it
out. Obviously the old man and his
unscathed son VIC e deeply hurt and
very unhappy. No man can feel
like smiling in such a situation. Yet
they grinned in technicolor. There
must be some explanation. Do the
photographers work a spell? Are
they h~ypnotists?
Do their cries of "Come on,
now, a nice big smile-and walk
right into the camera!" mes
merize people? Or, as has been
suggested, do their lawyers
(who always manage to smile,
tool instruct clients to smile,
on the theory that anything re-
motley resembling a serious ex-
preston these cockeyed days
suggests completely or outright
guilt?
It seems to us that any lawyer
reasoning this way is strictly SOUTH
paw. On the other hand we would
think that they would instruct eli
ents in a firm voice, 'Lissen, what
ever you do for the photographers,
don't act as if you had just made
a double play at the Elks clam
bakei"
There was a time when Ameri-
cans could smile or not smile, all
depending on conditions.
But for the past few years the
smile, has become epidemic.
compulsory and routine. You
can't tell by a mans newspaper
photo whether he has just been
taken by the bloodhounds for
sticking up a train or solved a
"Stop the music" riddle.

Police Called bykrs. kundt
To Investigate Loiterer

Police summoned Mrs. Karl Mundt,
wife of the Senator -elect from
South Dakota, last night searched
the area around the 200 block of
Massachusetts, avenue NE. for a
man she said had been lettering in
the neighborhood with a brick in
his hand.
A lookout was broadcast later for
the loiterer after the search proved
fruitless.
Mrs. Mundt said she first saw the
man about 11:30 pm. He was
standing in a doorway near her
home, 208 Massachusetts, avenue NE.
Because he appeared to be acting
suspiciously, she asked an off-duty
Capitol policeman to investigate.
The policeman took brown paper
parcel containing a brick from the
man, and told him to leave.
Metropolitan police were sum-
moned when Mrs. Mundt saw the
man in the same spot half hour
later.
Senator-elect Mundt now Rep
resentative from his State and a
member of the Committee on I'm
American Activities, said he thought
the loiterer might have been PLAN
ming to break a window and take
some liquor from a display at the
Capitol Towers Pharmacy in the
same building as the Mundts' apart
ment.

Sculptor, Specialist
On Eagles, Prepares
Seal for Inauguration

A sculptor who SpecializeS in
American eagles is putting the fin
ishing touches on representation OF
the Presidents official seal which
will be mounted above Mr.. Trumans
box in the White House reviewing
stand at the inaugural parade.
G. L. Giannetti, an old hand at
sculpting seals, says this 4-foot-
diameter one calls for the largest
eagle he has done on a seal. 1t is
not, however, Mr.. Giannetti's best
eagle. That was a bird IS feet tall
he produced for the Federal Building
at the New York Worlds Fair.
This seal for the parade will have
the eagle facing to the right, of
course" the sculptor pointed out as
he removed a plastic sheet from the
clay model in his studio in the rear
of 1416 N street NV. If it doesn't
face to the right, it just isn't an
American eagle"
Eagle Turned Around.
Mr.. Giannetti remembers his puz-
zlemnet as to why the eagle on the
presidential seal faced to the left
until President Truman changed it
by executive order in 1945.

seals of the United States and for

Silver Spring Mother
Dies Of Polio Despite
New Type |nhaIator

Mrs. Merlyn Stratman, 25-year-
old mother, who was stricken with
bulbar polio four weeks ago, died
in Gallinger Hospital yesterday
despite constant use of new type
of oxygen inhalator, flown here from
st. Louis in a last-ditch attempt
to save her life.
Mrs. Stratman, who lived at 962C
Sligo Creek parkway, Silver Spring
Nd, was the seventh polio fatality
of the year here. Only one of the
seven, an 8-year-old boy, was 6
District resident.
| Doctors. at times encouraged dur.
ing the last few weeks, explained
that Mrs Stratman never was able
/ to gain enough strength to combat
widespread effects of the disease
despite the iron lung and special
inhalation equipment, which forced
oxygen into her paralyzed chest.
Surgeons cut small opening di-
rectly into the windWipe to allow
entrance of the oxygen and fed
Mrs. Stratman intravenously when
the disease attacked her brain. para
lying the throat muscles that per-
init berathing and swallowing.
The new equipment, rushed here
through efforts of the Washington
Chapter of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis, pro-
longed Mrs. Stratman's life. Doc
tors hoped she would develop
strength to resist the infection.
Funeral services for Mrs. STRAIT
man will be held at 2 pm. tomorrow
at the Pumphrey funeral home in
Silver Spring. Burial will be at
George Washington Memorial
Cemetery.
Mrs. Stratman is survived by her
husband, John J. Stratman; two
daughters. Carol Ann. 3, and
Patricia Lee. 2; her mother Mrs.
Lena B. Haynes, 9504 Garwood

recalled. But the Presidents sea-
was the only one having an eagle
facing to the left"
II did that seal for a cornerstone
on the new east wing of the White
House when Mr. Franklin d.
Roosevelt was President. He was
something of an architect and he
always wanted to see the designs
for Things. I pointed out to him
the eagle was facing the wrong
way, but I went ahead and made it
that way.
Mr.. Roosevelt was interested, and
he said he'd check up on it. Later
1t was changed"
Making Bust of Bolivar.
The sculptor's studio, cluttered
with models, contains clay and plas-
ter eagles of many sizes and styles
A Weatherbeaten eagle is mounted
outside, over the doorway. But Mr..
Giannetti doesn't restrict his sculp-
ture to the national bird.
While doing the seal in clay he
also worked on bust of Simon Bo-
livar. the South American hero, an
ether commission.
The seal was ordered by the 1949
Inaugural COMMITTEE. Mr.. Gian-
netti worked it in clay first, as is
customary. Now. a plaster cast will
be made 1t is called negative.
From this. the plaster composition
seal will be cast
The sculptor's work is one of many
projects under way in studios and
decorators shops here as orders are
being turned out for inaugural
decorations.
Bunting to Be Hung.
Hundreds of yards of red, white
and blue bunting will be hung in
the District National Guard Armory
for the inaugural ball, which will
be held the night of January 90
and for the inaugural celebration
to be staged there the preceding

The ball will haYe three name
bands, taking turns in playing. They

Dress may be either white or black
tie at this invitation event, Mrs
Perle Mesta, co-chairman of the
Ball Committee, said.
A long canopy will be stretched
from the Armory entrance to the
driveway as protection against
inclement weather.
Plans to Bring Flowers.
Meantime, it was announced that
thousands of flowers will be flown
from the island territory to decorate
Hawaii's float in the inaugural pa
|rade.
The flowers will be picked on all
islands of the group, and will reach
the Capital 80 hours after leaving
a Hawaiian airport, according to
Linus C. Glotzbach, chairman of

tee of the Inaugural Transportation

Weather Delays Closing
OF 7 Key Bridge Lanes

Bed weather today delayed for
the second time the closing of the
curb lanes over Key Bridge to
permit pouring of concrete for a
section connecting the bridge with
the K street Whitehurst Freeway,
Capt. Beverly Beach of the seventh
precinct said today.
The first postponement came yes
terday as rain prevented work on
the project The lanes then were
to be closed for about 10 hours be-
ginning at 7:3G m. today, but rain
again put off the work.
Capt. Beach, whose men will di-
rect bridge traffic, said both outside
(curb) lanes will be closed, presum-
ably tomorrow. Concrete pouring
will restrict use of the northbound
lane, which carries traffic from Vir-
ginia to the District. Construction
trucks carrying concrete will take
the southbound lane. The two CEN
ter lanes where streetcars run will
be used for traffic. he said.

Holland Arrives 10 Weigh
District Committee Post

Senator Holland, Democrat, of
Florida arrived here today to take
up his problem of whether or not to
serve on the Senate District Com
mittee.
He reiterated his previously ex-
pressed desire to get an assignment
to another standing committee, de-
claring he would not want to serve
on the District Committee if it in
terefered with his prospects for a
place on a more important national
standing committee.
The Florida legislator is in line tc
be chairman of the District Com
mittee due to seniority, but, as he
pointed out, final decision on his
assignment will be made by the
Senate Steering Committee. He
now is member of the District
Committee and the Public Works
Committee.
