day as he presented his just
completed portrait Of Bobby

schoolboy at the compliments it
evoked.
Mr.. Jones. an old friend, came
from Atlanta to receive the por-
trait at the Augusta National
Golf Club. where the President
tomorrow winds up a three-day

II didn't believe you could do

golfer admiringly, as he inspect
ed the painting. Then, in an OBJ
vious tribute to the Presidents S
skill as an artist, he quipped,
I'm glad you didn't take up golf
seriously before l quit winning"
Mr.. Jones has been incapacitated
with a spinal ailment for several
years.

some time, was copied from a
photograph, and shows the great
Georgian at the top of his swing.
On the back is inscribed Bob,
by his old friend, D. D. E., 1883"
Mr.. Jones looked at the por-
trait admiringly and told the
President:
Il don't blame Stephens for
being jealous.

laughter and said:
"That-a-boy, Bob, that-a-boy." :"

loopholes in the District, with
Congress itself relaxing the rules

the Commissioners to exempt the

Although the Commissioners
refused, within a month after

ton Congress passed a law, he
said. in effect, telling the Com

today.
Donald Brewer, acting welfare
director. expressed concern over
the incidents. Such forgerieS in

in long time.
The amounts of money in
volved were not large, Mr.. Brewer

Relief checks go out at the
rate of about 1900 a month, to-
falling more than $500,O00. Mr..
Brewer said checks frequently
come back when recipients move
and fail to notify the depart
ment in time. The Post Office
is asked not to forward the
checks.
