An African ornamental mask,
Ia low chieftain's chair and a huge
stack Of filing boxes are all that
make the apartment Of the Rev.
and Mrs. Wesley Sadler different
from those of other young mar
|ried couples in Southeast Wash
|ington.
But day after day. year after
year. the Lutheran pastor and his
attractive wife are excitedly pio-
neering in an undiscovered world
of words.
In the shrinking world of today,
it is rare for a man to find him
self exploring a language never
before known to Western man.
But DR.. Sadler's job has been to
decipher the Iona tongue, the
complex language spoken by some
10000 natives of the interior of
Liberia.
Compiling Iona Dictionary.
DR.. Sadler is the first man ever
to analyze the Iona language and
now is in the midst of his greatest
task 1000 word dictionary.
Like many of the missionaries who
Christianized the American In
|dians, DR.. Sadler lived among
native tribes to learn their langu-
age and, through it. to bring them
Christianity.
It has been a long task-1l
years so far, including two years
advanced study of language anal
Iysis here. And it will be another
year before the dictionary is COM
pleted back in the Iona country.
The Sadlers will return to Liberia
next month.
Iona Intelligence High.
DR.. Sadler told of the life he
and his wife, Roslyn, lived at a
Iona village, in a house the chief
had given them; of the friend
ships and confidence he had
gained among a people of an in
telligence "at least equal to ours,"
and of their cooperation.
He told Of invitations to the
most private of Iona ceremonies
and of long evening talks with the
zowo-the medicine man-"about
my medicine as compared with
his" and about Gala-God.

To Five Hospitals Here

House Appropriations Commit
tee action now is awaited on a
proposed $11.4 million grant to
five non-profit private hospitals
here to finance rebuilding pro-
grams twice that size.

was urged on a House subcommit-
tee in recent closed hearings by
Ispokesmen for the General Serv-
ices Administration.

Of public buildings, outlined the
status Of plans being developed by
these eligible hospitals: Children's,

The last named is still in the
discussion stage, but the other
programs now are definite. he
said.
Representative Thomas, Demo-
crat, Of Texas, head of the SUBJ
committee hearing the case, sug-
gested a move to limit the grant
loan program to these five in
stitutions.
Mr.. Reynolds said that ques-
ton was something for the COM

Such private institutions were
made eligible for financial aid

Washington Hospital Center Act

limitation for that project.
The center. to be built on the
Soldiers Home grounds, is to pro-
vide a co-ordinated plant for
Emergency, Episcopal and Gar
field Hospitals. Mr.. Reynolds told
the House group work is about
to start on drawings and specifi-
cations for this 1,000-bed joint
project.
The other flve would receive
Federal aid for improvements to
their present buildings or for new
construction.
Children's Rebuilding.

on Thirteenth street. It's grant

Sibley Hospital. Mr.. Reynolds
said. is not as far along. But 1t
has arranged for a site for a new

a home for 168 nurses. It's tenta-
tive grant would be $4,691, 900.

which would be modernized.

and had a finishing year at Miss
Walcott's School, which went out
of existence in 1924. Because of
their daughters poor health-two
died in their teens-the Douds
began to spend their winters in
San Antonio. It was from there
in October, 1915, that they visited
Fort Sam Houston and Miss Doud
met I'd 1t. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover. They were married on
July /, 1916, in the Douds' home
in Denver, when Mamie was 10
and her husband IS.
The only thing the young bride
could cook was fudge and mayon-
naise. and the fact that her hus-
band survived to be elected Presi-
dent of the United States indi-
Gates she didn't do much cooking.
AS a matter of fact, she still isn't
at home in the kitchen, although
the general has become quite an
expert cook.

She learned all about house.
keeping. however, including how
to live on a lieutenant's pay in a
series of makeshift homes. There
was the time the Eisenhower
new house had gaslight, no CEN
trail heat and a coal stove, and
Mamie collected some furniture
from the Red Cross salvage heap.
There was sojourn in a board
ing house when the electricity
was turned off from 6 in the
morning till 6 at night.
It was not easy for the girl
brought UP in very comfortable
circumstances. But Mamie took
it and learned to make every
dollar stretch. Having always
managed the family finances, with
out ever owing a cent. she will be
able to cast an expert eye on the
Executive mansion budget.
The Eisenhowers moved Is
times in 36 years. They lived in
the Canal Zone, Europe and the
Philippines and in Army posts
all over the United States, but the
only home they ever owned is the
Gettysburg farm they bought
three years ago. They have yet to
be able to live there, nor have they
had time to fix it up, but perhaps
it will become the Little White
House.
Early in their marriage, the
young couple were struck with
tragedy. They lost their first
