Revolution had . decided new
lock" yesterday as the Chapter
House Corporation gave its annual
tea and open house.
The event marked the completion
of a remodeling and redecoration
campaign for which the District
Daughters contributed $1,700.
Special interest centered in the
library where the walls have been
painted oyster white and the walnut
paneling has been polished to bring
out the lovely sheen of the wood.
New draperies in the dining room
and venetian blinds throughout the
first two floors were among other
innovations which drew compli-
ments from the guests.
An attractive feature in the as
sembly room is the circular bench,
in front Of the fireplace, which has
been covered in cerise leather,
matching the new decorations in
the powder room. The large sofa
in the assembly room also has been
covered.
Two handsome chandeliers pre-
sented by Miss Lillian Chenoweth
were christened in special cere-
mony during the afternoon. One in
the dining room honors her mother,
Mrs, Elizabeth Chenoweth, while
the second. which hangs in the
solarium of the library, is in mem

ter House, a contemporary copy of
one of Stuart's portraits Of George

The speaker, who addressed clut
luncheon at the Willard Hotel, l.
the officer in charge OF the United
States Office of the international
Refugee Organization.
Gen. Wood estimated that, as oil
last January, there were between
900, 900 and 100000 DPS in need Of
re-establishment. On the same
date there were approximately
], 100000 eligible for service under
the IRO, but many Of these already
have been well established and will
never need more than legal protec.
ton from the IRO, he explained.
OF the 100000 to 100000 in neec
of re-establishment, approximately
$50, 900 were under care and main.

The speaker pointed out thai

took over the problem in July, 1947
The organization now has the USE
of 16 vessels of United States reg.
istry, including 10 Army and
maritime ships, and 8 vessels regis.
tered in other countries, he said
THAT gives us enough transporta.
ton, unless something necessitates
the Army taking back, the ships,
he added.
He emphasized that the cost O.
using Army ships is "phenomenally
low" and expressed the hope that
the organization will never be forced
to give up Army and maritime ship.

Gen. Wood pointed out that tn,
first displaced persons to be ad

Wiley bill will arrive in October
aboard two ships, one to dock II
New York and the other in Boston
Without going into details, hi
expressed hope that the bill will b,
liberalized in the next session o.
Congress. Although it provides fol
the admission of 205, 900 DPS in tht

vent this country from receiving

Miss Martha Biehle, operations of.

This will be a different gathering

new ballet will be created and, with
1t, increased inter-Amerlcan cultural
interests.

corning the Glenn Davis case. If
We recall ourselves correctly, we
expressed our regret that this great
lthlete, who earned All-American
lonors while playing for West Point
Turing the war years, should request
hat his resignation from the Ar
mhy be accepted. This request was
'enied by the Army.
Our reader seems to feel that we
have been unduly harsh in our
criticism Of super-athlete Davis,
and sent us a newspaper clipping
in support of his view, to the eff
feet that Davis was exploited by
the Army brass for the Qualification
Of West Point and his publicity
value to the Army In general.
We have earnestly searched our
conscience as a result of our read
er's comments, but We still feel the

situation. It is true that Davis was
somewhat exploited by the Army.
lust as were such figures as Joe
Louis and many major-lea6ue ball
players. But it is likewise true that
nobody forced Davis to attend the
military academy. When he vol
unfairly accepted the appointment
to West Point, we think he took
upon himself an obligation which
was not erased by the fact that the
war came to an end while he was
still in school. He Is losing a great
deal of money, but we can't feel
too sorry about that when we re-
call some of our friends who served
in the Army and came back minus
a part of themselves, or who didn't
come back at all
Sorry, Chicago. You're entitled
to your opinion, but we can't quite
