1t was not until the boy

that took a mighty big portion
of his five bucks, and he looked
sheepish and said it probably

Artist Looks for Place
For McIntire Portrait

A portrait Of the late DR..
Ross McIntire, former Navy
Surgeon General and personal
physician to President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, is going beg
ging.
1t rests in the jammed studio
of its creator. the well-known
Washington painter, Samuel
Bookatz.
Mr.. Bookatz couldn't sell the
work. even if he wanted to. He
painted it while serving in the
Navy during World War IL
which, in his own mind at
least, makes it public property.
I'D like to see it hung in
some place like the Armed
Forces Medical Museum when
they get their permanent build

oil painting Of Admiral Nc

ready is displayed in the Ii
brary of the Naval Medical
Center at Bethesda.

commander, has a personal
feeling about Admiral McIn-
tire that goes much further
than service connections.
He was a wonderful boss. a

wonderful man." Mr.. Bookatz
said yesterday. Admiral McIn-
tire died recently in Chicago al
the age of 10.
The portrait was painted
early in 1912 in the Lincoln
Room of the White House. Mr..
Bookatz said the admiral at the
time was so busy attending
President Roosevelt that he
found it impossible to leave the
place to sit in a proper studio.
The chair in which DR.. Nc
Intire is shown seated is be-
lieved to be one used by Presi-
dent Lincoln.
Painter Bookatz admits the
portrait, along with numerous
others done by him during and
before the war. are now stylis-
tically "old hat" as far as he
is concerned.

CufritzWins
Backing for
Site Variance

The District Zoning Commits
sion today recommended that
Morris Cafritz seek a zoning
variance for the Temple
Heights tract to construct a
1,000-room hotel on the site.
The builder had sought a
change in the present zoning
OF the site, at Connecticut ave-
nue. and Columbia road NV.
but was turned down by the
commission. The zoning change
would have permitted construc-
ton of buildings of greater
density.
Engineer Commissioner A. C.
yelling explained that the
commission did not wish to
make the coming change be-
cause it would lose control"
over what kind of construction
could then be made. But. he
said the commission is in favor
of the hotel construction and
already has informed the
Board of zoning Adjustment
that it approves of granting a
variance to permit the erection
of a hotel as presently planned.
Under present zoning Mr..
Cafritz could build hotel only
half the size of the one he
plans.
The hotel would be con-
structed near the Universal
Building and would be bounded
by Columbia road, Nineteenth
street and a new thoroughfare
to be known as T street NV.
The hotel would have what the
builders call the largest ball
room in Washington seating
5000, and parking facilities for
l,600 cars.

The
Rambler
Learns About
Ettu JosseIyn Giffin
By GEORGE KENNEDY


The Rambler confesses he
had never heard of Eta Gif-
I'm, the first American libra
rian for the blind, until a
free-lance writer started to
tell him about her the other
day.
Miss Giffin, who was born
in Newark, Ohio, during the
Civil War, and brought up
by a widowed schoolteacher
mother on the Kansas from
tier, died in 1882.
When the 81 million Lii
brary of Congress, "as splen-
did a building as any in
Europe" was opened in the
fall Of 1897, a large room in
the northwest corner of the
first floor was called The
Pavilion for the Blind" and
Miss Giff1n, then in her early
sos, was placed in charge.
The free-lance writer who
interested the Rambler in
Miss Giffin is Mrs. Victoria
Faber Stevenson. She has
just written a biography of
Miss Giffin, with a foreword
by Helen Keller. 1t is pub
lished by the National Lii
brary for the Blind, an inSti-
tuition which Miss Giffln
founded in 1911 and which
was merged with the Library
Of Congress in l946.

ticed the school was opening
and told Mr.. Willard they would
rush to their schools to get
transfers.
Named Afer Normal Principal
The school is named after
one of the Districts most
distinguished educators. Miss
Cooling Joined the system in
1894 as an elementary teacher.
She served as principal of the
Washington Normal School,
predecessor of District Teach
ers College. from 1901 until
her retirement in 1927. She
died in 1943.
Her farewell address to the
1927 graduating class marked
a milestone in District educa-
ton, just as the opening of the
school named in her honor
does today. She said:
With your class. the Nor
NAL School reaches the century
mark - not in years. but in
numbers, for you go forth 100
strong. We. you and l,
leave together, the 100 to be
separated into individuals each
seeking her own way with pur-
pose and confidence. We go
out with grateful affection for
those whom we leave behind
us to carry on the work and,
as We look back, we are made
resolute by our friends who are
waving to us a farewell and
Godspeed."

liShed by the National Lii
brary for the Blind, an insti-
tuition which Miss Gifin
founded in 1911 and which
was merged with the Library
of Congress in l946.
1T is A SMALL BOOK
l47 pageS-and can be read in
one sitting, which is Just what
the Rambler did because 1t
contains so much interesting
information, He never knew,
for instance, about the battle
OF the systems of tactile
reading. When Miss Gifin
was appointed, a small num-
Der of books, largely religious,
was being turned out in any
one of several systems. Two
of these, the New York Point
and English Braille, had the
most proponents and were in
a death struggle.
The blind were as bad of
as the builders Of the Tower
of Babel. Learning one sys-
tenn was difficult enough; to
learn several was impossible.
Miss Giffin showed real cour-
age in supporting Braille,
which won out and now has
been standardized interna-
tionally.
1t was a Partisan business
man, Valentin Hauy, who
made touch reading posi-
BILE. A true philanthropist, he
became interested in the edu-
cation Of the blind after
meeting the blind baroness,
Maria Teresa Paradis, an
accomplished concert pian-
ist. a few years before the
French Revolution. He took a
young blind begger into his
office and tried to teach him
to be useful. One day M.
Hauy was amazed to notice
that the man could identify
some letters with his fingers
in printing that had a raised
or embossed effect. M. Hauy
worked up a simplified alpha
bet of embossed Roman cap
ital letters and taught his
employe to read.
The symbols of all systems
from then on were approx
nations of the printed let
ters-hard to identify and so
large that bulk was a prob
lem. One Bible was in so
volumes. Then a French ar
tillery captain hit on some
thing different. He called it
might reading" His purpose
was not philanthropic but
military. He wanted officers
to be able to read orders in
the dark without a telltale
light. He indicated sounds
with patterns of embossed
points.
1t occurred to him that it
might help the blind, and he
gave a talk on his system at
a French school for the blind.
One of the students was
Louis Braille, son of a har-
nesSmaker and blind since
his fourth year.
THE PAVILION for the
Blind was due to the libra
rian of Congress, John Rus
sell Young, famed Civil War
correspondent and uncle of
the former District Commits
sioner of that name. An
elderly blind woman had
called on him and enlisted
his sympathy by telling him
how difficult it was for blind
persons to get books for the
blind at the library. They
should have a room of their
own.
He agreed and selected
Miss Giffin to run it. 1t is an
interesting story of what one
determined woman was able
to do for the blind in three
decades of hard work. She
had her ups and downs. The
next librarian sent the books
for the blind to the two Dis
trict Public Libraries, since
the service was local, not
national. They came back
after two years. 1t was then
that she founded the Ma
tional Library for the Blind
which was located in the
Raymond apartments at 1929
H street NV. 1t was a private
organization that was given
a Federal appropriation of
5000. It's president was
Senator Gore of Oklahoma
and he was blind.
