MRS. IVES RESIGNS
She Had Planned to Be
OAR Alternate Delegate
MRS. IVES RESIGNS
By FRANCES LIDE
Star Staff Writer

A visit from her three
grandchildren which could
not be postponed prompted
Mrs. Ernest Ives to resign
from the Daughters Of the
American Revolution by tele-
gram yesterday instead Of
waiting for a propitious time
at the OAR Congress to be
held here next week.
Now at her home in South
ern Pines, N. c., the sister Of
United Nations Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson told The
Star that she had expected
to attend the Congress as an
alternate delegate from the
Letitia Green Stevenson
Chapter Of Bloomington, H.,
named for her grandmother,
second president general of
the OAR.
The arrival Of ner daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Timothy r.
Ives: and the latter's three
youngsters. last night, for
the children's first visit to
Southern Pines changed her
plans, so she decided to wire
her resignation to Mrs. Ash
mead White, OAR president
general, in advance of the
congress.
Sends Telegram
In her telegram Mrs. Ives
expressed the opinion that "a
growing number of the Off
cial policies Of the organiza-
ton (DAR) are wholly out Of
line with the policies Of the
United States Of America as
formulated by both the Re-
publican and Democratic Par
ties, and as overwhelmingly
Endorsed by a majority Of the
American voters.
This trend seemed to me
to have reached its climax
when the society was unable
to support the children's
fund, the UNICEF program
of the United Nations" she
added.
Asked for a comment on
the resignation, Mrs. White
issued a brief statement yes
terday afternoon which said
only: Mrs. Ives has every
right to resign from the OAR
for any reason at any time,
Just like any other mem
ber."
In offering her resignation,
Mrs. Ives pointed out that
her membership in the chap
ter named for her beloved
grandmother" had been q
personal tie" for her with
that wonderful woman who
was both one of the founders
of the OAR and four times
president general"
Her grandmother's sister,
Mrs. Mathew T. Scott, also
served as a president general,
and she noted that both of
their portraits now hang in
the Illinois room in OAR
headquarters.
Evening star., 1962-04-13

Mrs. Ives, who stressed that
she finds 1t hard to believe
disapproval Of the U. N. is
representative Of OAR mem
bership as a whole, said this
was brought home to her very
forcefully last fall when her
house in Bloomington was
used for a U. N. day celebra-
tion.
The OAR would not join in
the observance, she recalled,
but many members Of the
society attended on a per-
Sonal basis.
She did not reach her de-
cision to resign, however,
until the OAR opposition to
UNICEF Christmas cards was
publicized at the time it was
announced that Mrs. John F.
Kennedy had purchased some
for her own use.
After the Christmas rush,
she sent her resignation to
the regent Of her chapter in
Bloomington but it was not
accepted in the hope that
Mrs. Ives would think it
over"
Mrs. Ives then accepted
appointment as an alternate
delegate with the expecta-
ton that she would be in a
position to speak up should
an issue. such as UNICEF,
come before the Congress.
Mrs. Ives grandmother,
Letitia Green Stevenson, was
the wife of Adlai Ewing Ste

venson, who served as vice
president from 1893 to 1897
under President Grover
Cleveland.
Back in 1893
When she was elected OAR
president general in 1893,
succeeding Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison. the term Of office
was limited to a year but
she was reelected the next
year and, after a brief re-
tirement from the office.
again served two terms be-
tween 1895 and 1898.
Her many achievements.
according to the 1910 golden
anniversary edition Of the
OAR National Historical
Magazine. included further
ing the movement to secure
a site for Memorial Conti-
mental Hall and starting a
fund for the proposed build
ing-the first Of the three
now owned by the national
society in Washington.
In her administration the
OAR also raised money for
the erection of a monument
in memory of Washington in
Paris. Later, after she had
retired from the presidency,
she was honored by an ap-
pointment as a member Of a
committee to represent the
society at the unveiling Of
the statue of Lafayette pre-
sented to France by the wom-
en- and children of America.

months of 1862. with q total
of 4,509 permits valued at
S5s.6 million issued for single
family dwellings, and 4.937
permits valued at S33 million
issued for apartment units.
This represents an increase
Of 1859 permits valued at
S27.8 million over the same
period in 1861, with the
greatest gain being made in
Prince Georges County where
more properly zoned land is
available for both single
family dwellings and apart
ment unit construction.
And, it is in this question
of control of the land that
is available for housing use
that there lies the root Of
the problem every builder
and, therefore, every COM
munity faces today, not only
in suburban Maryland, but
throughout the Nation.
I believe that our antique
and nflexihle methods Of
land planning require care
full study and analysis. An
objective. sincere and COM
petent exploration Of new
ideas is needed now. If we
are to satisfy the complex
requirements of modern day
living and yet stay within
the realistic limits Of value
and cost. 1t is not enough to

methods and techniques Of
construction, utilizing the
latest chronological develop
ments in materials and de-
sign concepts, II we continue
to ignore the urgent need for
new techniques Of land plan
ming and community devel-

1t is our Job to provide
housing and as good q place
to live as possible for the
entire population-not Just q
lucky few. At the same time,
both builder and buyer must
balance the future against
the expediency Of the pres

ism, should be the method of
achieving good housing now
and providing long lasting
social and physical values
for the future.
This is q big order. but

dedicated to these purposes.
and we intend to accomplish
them.
