Girl ScoutinQ
Discussed by
World Leader

Lady Baden-Powell, chief guide
of the World Association of Girl
Scouts and Girl Guides, yesterday
the girl scouting move
ment as closely tied in with the
struggle for freedom. .
Now on a three-month lecture
tour of the United States, the
scout leader spoke at a breakfast
meeting of the National Capital
Area Federation of Girl Scout
Councils in the Woman's Club of

Lady Baden-Powell said that
during the war Scout membership
doubled in the occupied countries,
Scouting having been carried on
as an underground movement.
1--WE are at a turning point to-
day." she continued. And the
Girl Scouts and Girl Guides are
in the vanguard for good. They
have never let their high stand
ards down."
The speaker said that q par
ticularly wonderful world move
ment for Girl Scouts had been
built in Greece and during a re-
cent tour of that country, she
noted the Scouts were being
trained in public service such as
in distributing relief of refugees.
AS the widow of Lord Robert
Baden-Powell, founder of the
Boy Scouts, Lady Baden-Powell
was well qualified to outline to
guests at the meeting the history
of boy scouting and its expansion
throughout the world.
She also paid tribute to "the
enormous part the United States
has played in advancing the Girl
Scout movement"
Lady Baden-Powell was to
leave today for Clarksburg, w.
Va, and, after stopping off in
New Orleans, Texas and later
Pennsylvania, will visit Canada
before returning to England in

A five-point program which
would include liberalization OF the
United States immigration laws
|and completion of "the unfinished
business Of the DIP program" was
suggested yesterday by Harry N.
RoSenf1eld, Commissioner of the
Displaced Persons Commission.
Addressing the 14th annual mem
|bership luncheon of the Washing
ton Region. Women's American
|ORT. at the Shoreham Hotel, Mr..
Rosenfield declared: Whether we
like 1t or not, our immigration
laws are no longer purely domestic
lin character; they have become a
basic component of our foreign
policy. And isolationism is as un-
suited to immigration as it is to
any other aspect of our foreign
policy"
Other measures proposed by Mr..
Rosenfield included: Special legis-
|lation for refugees from Com
Imunist-d dominated countries and
victims of overpopulation: recep-
tion and leadership training IA
|cilities for refugees from Commu-
|nism, and creation of a permanent
international migration agency to
enable people from oyerpopulated
lands to migrate to underdeyel-
oped areas.
Mr.. Rosenf1eld suggested the
program as a continuing means Of
meeting the refugee and related
problems after expiration of the
DIP Act this coming summer.

Dolly Madison Stored

AS might be expected. the beau

Madison presided at some Of the
more elegant White House Christ
mas parties.
An old account Of the Madison S
1911 Christmas party stated that
the glamorous Dolly. as always,
completely dominated the scene. ="
She was described as "a magnifi-
cent looking woman, 43 or so, tall.
stately. buxom and rosy. She
wore much rouge-"enough indeed
to be perceptable in a very bright
light"-a purple velvet frocK,
pearls and many bracelets. Her
hair was worn in long dark ring
lets.
BY comparison, her husband
was pale and insignificant. Wash
ington Irving once called him "a
withered little applejohn." Dolly
herself called him my dear little
husband"
The MadisonS' guests were the
leading politicians, beauties and
famous. clever people of the day.

A huge mirror, which Mrs.
Madison had had especially made
in France, covered the entire table.

turkeys, chickens, canvas-back
ducks, roasted wild game, vege-
tables, fruits and several kinds of
pudding.
There was waiter for each
guest. Several Slave-oWners in
Washington rented slaves by the
day or the job. The regular price
for a waiter was 35 cents for an
evening party. Other prices at
the time were: turkeys, IS cents

Old Hickory
One of the most touching White
House stories concerns the first
Christmas spent there by Andrew
jackson, in 1885. He was sad
dened by the recent death of his
much-maligned wife, which he
felt had been hastened by harsh
treatment she had received from
his political enemies. His nephews
set out to dispel his gloom. They
insisted he hang up his stocking.
Christmas morning his secretary.
unexpectedly entering the room,
found the lonely old warrior in
tears over the corncob pipe, to-
bacco and other trinkets the chill
dren had surreptitiously stuffed
into his stocking.
Later that day Jackson, who
himself had been an orphan, gave
a Christmas party for all the
orphans he could round up in
the District of Columbia. The
youngsters had "Snow ball fight"
(using starched cotton balls) in
the East Room and the aged
President is said to have joined
in the game.
All was not always rosy for the
White House occupants at Christ
mas time. An opposition news
paper. still smarting from the
bitterness Of the recent Tilden
Hayes campaign, had this to say
the first year Rutherford B. Hayes
was in the White House.
This unpleasant thought will
obtrude itself, that this will be the
first time a usurper has celebrated
Christmas in the White House.
But Santa Claus descends the
chimney-like on the just and
the unjust"

"Pimply Face Gang" when an in
dictment charging Danner with

ously had been tried and acquitted

a charge of assault with intent to
commit robbery.
