.28' CHILD HEALTH DAY PLANS BEING LAID Volunteer Commitiee Seeks Widespread Obseryance on May 1. Plans for widespread observance of May ] as Child Health day are being formulated by a volunteer committee representing 23 organizations interested in child welfare and child health, of which Dr. E. J. Schwartz, assistant District health officer, is chairman. May J_has been officially designated Child Health day by proclamation is- sued by President Hoover. The committee is directing its efforts | to impressing the importance of child health on parents, physical examina- tion demonstrations, play and other exercises at all schools and other play- grounds in the city. Free Examination to Be Given. PFree physical examination will be given to any child at designated clinics by physicians of the Health Depart- ment and others, who will volunteer their professional services. The Dis- trict Congress of Parent-Teachers' As- sociations is undertaking the work of getting parents to bring their children to the clinics for examination, and also will do “follow up work” to secure con- tinuation of the health safeguards for the rest of the year. Exercises to Be Held. Under direction of Miss Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of District play- grounds, health exercises will be held at all playgrounds. Miss Rhodes will supervise work of the same kind at all parochial playgrounds. This, in the past, has been done by Catholic Uni- versity, but that institution asked Miss Rhodes to take the work this year. Extensive advertising of Child Health day will be undertaken by use of radio talks, posters on street cars and in shop windows, sermons and speeches in &chools. A list of the clinics at which free physical examinations will be given follows: Georgetown University, 923 Twenty-second street, 3030 C street, 480 E street southwest, 900 Maryland ave- nue northeast, 1205 Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast, Freedmen’s Hospital, colored; 5327 Georgia avenue, 1201 ‘Talbert street southeast and 2012 Rhode | Island avenue northeast. FARM RELIEF MEASURE HELD UP BY COMMITTEE Senators Postpone Awaiting Report of Administra- tion Views on Debcnture Plan. Consideration | By the Associated Press. A scheduled meeting of the Senate agriculture committee was postponed to- day because Chairman McNary and the | other members of the committee ex- t to have a communication soon from Secretary Hyde, giving the ad- ministration’s views on the export de- benture plan. The expectation among administra- tion leaders is that the debenture plan will not be indorsed, and if this assump- tion proves to be true, the Senate committee is expected to report a farm bill virtually identical to that approved ve‘s:.gdny by the House agriculture com- mittee. ‘The Senate bill now carries a re- volving fund of $300,000,000, but Chair- man McNary said he expected no diffi- culty if the House insists on raising the fund to $500,000,000. He said the bill as reported by the Senate committee might carry the larger figure. There is likelihood that the Senate committee will not report the farm bill | until Thursday because some adminis- tration leaders desire to take a week ‘end adjournment Wednesday night so as to give the committee all the time | it needs in perfecting details of its| farm measure. | TAKOMA PARK MAN DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS @.
