Many of the civic and cultural
improvements in the Nation S
Capital are due to the active
and untiring support of the Wash
ington Board of Trade.
The board, which observes its
60th anniversary with a 'flve-day
program next week. pioneered the
movement for the free public Ii
brary system here.
It was an early supporter of
more adequate hospital facilities
in Washington. it was Importantly
interested in the development OF
Washington's system Of parks and
Fairgrounds, it took leading role
in the early efforts for reclama-
ton of Potomac Park and the
Anacostia fats, and recommended

and artistic development of Wash

port at that time.
For two years the Board of
Trade waged campaign for the
public library system. On June 3.
1896, it obtained passage of a
law by Congress establishing the
public library as a supplement for
the Districts public education sys-
tenn.
But no appropriation was made
for the library's maintenance. The
fight was renewed on that issue
and carried on for two more
years before Congress agreed to
supply funds for its operation.
Even then the fight was not
ended. For the Board Of Trade

Congress Gets

Contract Rigs
Officers Go to Capitol
To Dispute Charge
Of PhiIodeIphion
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Army spokesmen carried to Con-
|gress today a formal denial that
|Quartermaster Corps requests for
contract bids were tailored to suit
Ia specific company.
A House committee scheduled a
special meeting to hear the Army's
reply to the testimony of a Phila-
delphia manufacturer Of refrigera-
ton Equipment.
The manufacturer, Orville Nor
rison Of the Sunroc Co., said Tues
day that his firm lost out on a
100000 Army water cooler con-
tract after specifications had been
changed to favor Westinghouse
Electric Co.
General First Witness.
Today's first witness was to be
Brig. Gen. E. M. Brannon, as
Isistant judge advocate general for
procurement.
Also scheduled to testify were
Col. Robert A. Howard Of the Chi
cago quartermaster office; DR.. j.
Millard, specifications expert of
the quartermaster Office here, and
1t. Col. g. w. Cook Of the Office
Of the Quartermaster General.
Mr.. Morrison made his allega-
tions before the House Judiciary
Committee, which has been inves-
tigating monopoly trends in busi-
ness.
The similarity was such, Mr..
Morrison told the committee, as to
make it appear that Westinghouse
sales literature had been "worded''
directly into quartermaster speci-
fications.
Army, Westinghouse Deny.
Both the Army and Westing-
house fatty denied it.
E. v. Higgins, secretary of
Westinghouse. sent a letter to
Committee Chairman Celler say
ing Westinghouse had nothing to
do with wording of the specifica-
tions. and adding: ..
"The fact that the specifica-
tions are not tailored to Westing-
house equipment is shown by the
fact that at least 10 manufactur-
ers are able to submit bids in re-
sponse to invitations.
Mr.. Celler has called the matter
to the attention of the antitrust
division Of the. Justice Depart
ment and the Federal Trade Com
mission.
II Mr.. Morrison's charges are
proved true, he said. 1t would
constitute rigging" Of bid re-

the RIGHT ANSWERS
INTERNATIONAL

BY Irene Duane
M~ A..1 n.s,ua e.as.. eA+ass ,sl kz
DEAR MISS DUNE: What can you do when, in
a social gathering, someone makes an unthink-
ing remark about religion o which you
know hurts the feelings of someone else present?
ANSWER: This dscourtesy one of the most shocking
examples of bad manners know of, and an all too
common one. 1t combines thoughtlessness, snobbish-
ness and downright cruelty all of which could be
remedied by simple adherence to the fundamental
rule of good manners consideration for the other
PERSONS feelings.
1t is not easy to say what to do when this funda-
mental rule is preached at social gathering If you
make an issue of the matter, you merely add to the
discomfort of the offended persons. There is never
any need, however, for you to add to the injury by
letting that you agree with the person who has
offered the insult, whether intended or not.
lHESE offensive remarks almost always generali-
ties Someone says that Catholics this, Jews
that and Baptsts the other, that the Chinese
shfty the Irish shftless and the Italians towards.
When such remark comes up, usually say quietly
that can't indorse the generality, I've found that
people have to be judged individuals and not as
members of any specific racial or religious group
These slips easily made They have into
our way of thinking. Actually, people often make
them without thinking. The correction for that,
plainly, is to start thinking.
When slurs to religion or creed arise in group of
people know well. make my point plainly and
defend it. IF lose friends because refuse to 90 along
with their petty intolerances, feel I'm better off
without those friends
When such slurs arise in group don't know 50
WELL try to defect the aim of the slrs by pointing
out the unreiablity of generalities If this be
termed rudeness we'll. frankly, call it being rude
with reason.
Hos0 should you behave s0hen you go a Iec-
ture? DR.. Roy Chapman AndresOs gives you
pointers in nert ,Deek's "Erervbody's Etiquette.'
