as to whether there should be re-
valuation. He refused further
comment on this point.
Present Situation Expected.
In insisting that the British dol
lar shortage now Is not a great
crisis, Mr.. Acheson said the pres
ent situation had been expected to
develop when the world market
changed from a sellers to a buy
ers' market. He pointed out that
purchasers in the dollar area were
reducing their buying in the ex-
pectation Of lower prices. and that
sellers were having to compete
harder to sell their goods in the
world market.
This has led, he added. to q
falling off in British dollar re-
ceipts. Most Americans have had
some experience Of that kind, he
remarked. suggesting that if one
is wise he cuts down his purchase
when his receipts fall off.
This is the sort of temporary
necessity-reducing dollar pur-
chases-that Mr.. Cripps laid be-
fore Commons. Mr.. Acheson said.
He added that Mr.. Cripps cor
rectly pointed out that this was
not a permanent solution. but that
in the long run the competitive
efficiency of British industry must
be improved.
Earlier, conflicting views were
expressed on Capitol Hill on the
National Advisory Councils re-
port.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia, said it would be a very
dangerous trend" hurting our
own export trade, to touch off a
general revaluation Of European
currencies to improve their dollar
and gold reserves.
Senator johnson. Democrat. of
Colorado thought that some re-
valuation of European currencies
is probably overdue now.
Senator Flanders. Republican,

banker in private life. thinking in
terms Of dollar-sh Britain, said
that revaluation has England in
a box now"

sell, then devaluation hurts them.

should devalue the pound. they
can sell more cheaply, but they
buy more dearly"

The generosity of the people of
Washington has been so great
that All boys and girls who
thought they would have to stay
home will spend two weeks in
camp this summer.
Gifts to The Evening Star Sum-
mer Camp Fund and net pro-
ceeds of the congressional ball
game have now reached a grand
total Of $15,320.45. This is far
beyond the goal originally set for
the camp fund.
The fund was aimed primarily
at providing two weeks of camp
for 269 children for whom there
were facilities at Camps Good
Will and Pleasant but no funds.
These camps, operated by the
Summer Outings Committee, were
chosen because they accept needy
children recommended by % diff
ferent health and welfare agen-
cieS here.
I Opened to Heart Cases.
When it appeared that goal
would be reached and people still
wanted to give, The Star expand
ed its fund to include 80 children
with heart defects. The Washing
ton Heart Association had raised
$1,000 to provide the first summer
camping experience for 81 chill
dren with heart conditions. but
had facilities for 96.
When that goal was reached,
too, The Star announced its
campaign had been successful, but
that 1t was willing to continue
to accept contributions If more
people wanted to give. And the
people did.
The fund was divided seven
ways yesterday. The division was
based on the service rendered by
seven different groups to children
who could not otherwise afford to

was like being together at opposite ends of
Grand Central Station with almost the entire

Actually, Mrs. Bellamy had discovered. the
apartment was a more irritating reminder of
Mr. Bellamy than was Mr. Bellamy in per-
son. The decor of the enormous living room
had been Mr. Bellamy's idea entrusted to an
enthusiastic interior decorator. Mr.. Bellamy
had served six months in Hollywood in the
year 1887 and had lifted this idea from
studio sound stage.
