Begun in hundreds of churches and Sunday school halls early yesterday, the | rolling chorus of carols will continue throughout the day and night at numerous pre-Christmas celebrations, culminating tomorrow evening in the picturesque open air services about the 1929 national community Christmas tree in which thousands will join. | _As a signal for the final rush of | Christmas preparations, a large propor- { tion of Washington's population will be | released at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon from Federal and District Government buildings, hlm)y in their rejoicing over the extra holiday extended to them. Not until Thursday morning will the depart- ments reopen. Capitol Building Deserted. Although the Capitol Building was gncncnlly deserted today, Congress ing voted itself a Christmas present of & two-week vacation, that equally famous building at the other end of | Pennsylvania avenue, the White House, was bustling with Christmas activity. President and Mrs. Hoover, like so many other parents in Washington, are getting ready for a merry but simple family observance. Their son Allan, welcomed back from Harvard, will be their principal reason for rejoicing, al- though the patter of grandchildren’s | feet is not to be heard in the White House this Christmas. Herbert Hoover, jr., and his family are spending Christ- mas in their distant Pasadena home. In anticipation of & day of rest and enjoyment, President Hoover has called Off the usual Tuesday press conference. Officially, Washington will be a dull and probably eventless Capital tomorrow. President Greets War Veterans. While the President is naturally busy with many matters of public interest which cannot be put off, he found time to dispatch a message to the disabled veterans of the World War in the hos- pitals of the country to assure them that their Nation in its holiday season had not forgotten those who.fought for it in a time of need. Mrs. Hoover paused in the midst of Christmas tree trimming and household preparations this morning to lend her presence and encouragement to the faithful workers of the Central Union Mission whose Christmas part; She took delight n ke gee e €] the greetings ac- corded her by the 2,000 or more under- privileged children who were the for- tunate guests of the mission, and joined with Superintendent and Mrs. John 8.

BY BESS FURMAN, Associated Press Staft Writer. ‘The merry mix-up that Santa always makes proved too much for helpful Mrs. Herbert Hoover. She came through the curtain of the Fox Theater and saw, arranged in neat rows, by color and number cards, the wide-eyed, expectant children of Wash- ington's none-too-prosperous class. They were the kind of children whose par- | ents were not hit by the stock market | crash, having no margin for even the insurance payments. She saw huge, bulging, gay cretonne- covered bags, arranged neat rows, by color and number cards, to match the little boys and little girls. For the children, Mrs. Hoover spoke almost an ultimatum: “Will you please lmn{: it so the right child is with the right bag?” she said to the master of ceremonies. “If I just give any bag to any child that comes, I'll get them all mixed up. I ‘went out once and mixed up bags. I'm | not going to be mixing up the bags for these children.” ‘The organ played carols. The line s . The camera men began their grinding. s And Then the Mix-up. A smiling Mrs. Hoover, in soft, rich gown of maroon-colored velvet, with | close-fitting hat of maroon deepened almost to brown, stood & cheerful Santa, gave out bright bulging bags to the toddlers from Central Union Mis- sion Emergency Home. The bags were almost as big as the wee boys and girls. from the stage under her burden, she was saying to little Betty Heiter, “Wait, you got mine! This is yours!” Luckily it was all in the same big family, the Central Union Mission, those first 40 numbers that Mrs. Hoover handed out. For almost nobody got the Christmas cheer that fitted his or her particular case. Mrs. Emily Green, matron, herded six all-of-an-age little girls, very busy t swapping. “Yes, they're all my children,” Mrs. Green told Mrs. Hoover. “Well, they're gemn along fine, aren't they?” laughed the President's wife. ebration, of which Mrs. Joseph M. Stod- dard is chairman, requests that Junior High School students and all carol h | singers attending the lighting of the tree enter the inclosure in Sherman Square from the north end. It also is requested that parents see that the young carolers are warmly clad and wear overshoes in case the ground should be damp tomorrow evening. Carol Programs Planned. Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A. will sing carol programs under direction of Miss Lucy Street, at 12:30 o'clock to- morrow afternoon, in the Federal- | American National Bank. At 4:30 mas program at the American Associa- tion of University Women, with the Tuesday Evening Club giving a recital of carols. Neighborhood House Boy Scouts will sing carols in the streets in connection with the Christmas Eve ob- servance in Southwest Washington. ‘When President Hoover touches the button to light the tree at 6:08 o'clock tomorrow evening, a flare will be the signal for other community celebra- tions throughout the city to commence. At Chevy Chase Circle, however, the program will begin at 5:15 o'clock, with all civic and public organizations of that community united in a program. Other celebrations tomorrow evening will be held in Petworth, at Sherman Circle, in Columbia Heights, Wesley Heights, Cleveland Park and by the Friendship Citizens’ Associations. Girl Reserves will take part in the usual Christmas eve celebration at Children’s Hospital, Noel House and the various orphanages and other pub- lic institutions of the city. Saks & Co.'s store Christmas morning 100 boys will be provided with | overcoats as a gift from the store, a custom started years ago by Isaac Ga: ‘Washington’s various missions also making preparations for the distribu- tion of free dinners and baskets of ?{)d to poor familles throughout the city. Mrs. Heover to Give Basket. At the Salvation Army tomorrow aft- ernoon at 2 o'clock Mrs. Hoover will hand out the first basket of food at a large Christmas party. The ceremonies will be held at Temple Corps, 606 E street, with Maj. James Asher in charge. ‘There will be music by the Navy Band orchestra. Approximately 1.000 chil- | dren on the list of the Salvation Army will rally around a Christmas tree in the evening, when each child will re- ceive a gift. One of the largest of the pre-Christ- mas parties was given for 110 under- privileged youngsters as guests of the Kiwanis Club yesterday afternoon at the Chestnut Farms Auditorium, Twen- ty-sixth street and Pennsylvania ave- nue. Among the 250 guests were Commis- sloner Proctor L. Dougherty and Mrs. Sidney Taliaferro, wife of lon. er Taliaferro. Dr. and Mrs. Frank W. Ballou also were present. Wives of the Adds to Gayety of Party. In a motherly manner, Mrs. Hoover added much to the gayety of the Christmas party. It was she who sug- gested that the organ play while the pacl were being distributed. It was she who warned the mothers of little the Swartzell Home, Methodist Episcopal institution here, will be cheered by a | large assortment of toys sent by girls of | American University. The girls in ex-| changing gifts, instead of buying things for themselves, purchased toys, and| then turned over the whole assortment to the children of the home. Lions to Distribute Baskets. | The Lions Club will hold a luncheon in the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion Building, 1736 G _street, tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 o'clock, after which club members will deliver Christmas baskets to poor families on their Christ- mas list. The baskets are being pre- pared by Vergne Potter and members of his committee. The luncheon to- morrow will take the place of the regu- lar Wednesday luncheon in the May- flower. There will be a special recital of | carols on the McKim memorial chimes | of Epiphany Church, at 4:30 o'clock to- morrow afternoon, played by Thomas G.

MONDAY, GARNER AGAIN ASKS £ HOOVERSTATEMENT {President’s Tariff Activities| Defended by Wood in Reply to Democrats. tinued From First Page.) not been denied and furnish the infer- ence “that they indicate a conspiracy” to inform the President of Cuba that the sugar lobbyists had the direct in- fluence of the President of the United States at their command and that he was actively putting the machinery of the White House at their disposal. “This inference,” he said, “is neces- sary, for nobody, regardless of political afliations, would wish to think the President of this country capable of be- ing used for such & purpose as Messrs. Lakin and Shattuck were engaged in. However, falling any authoritative re- pudiation of the sugar crowd'’s claim of influence, unfortunately many people may not take this charitable view.” Garner Is Lauded. The statement of Wood said: “Hiding behind the name of Repre- sentative Garner of Texas, the Demo- cratic national committee issues a statement to the press which by innu- endo and implication impugns the mo- tives of the President of the United States. The tactics are characteristic of that national organization, but not of Representative Garner, and the House Democratic leader ' does poor honor to himself and his office by per- mitting the use of his name in such a manner. “The whole statement, in the first place, is predicted upon hearsay evi- dence, twice removed, and authorita- tively denied by one of the alleged par- ticipants in one of the alleged conver- sations, that the President discussed the subject of the Cuban tariff with a caller. This alleged action of the Presi- dent is characterized by the Democratic national committee, over Representa- tive Garner's name, as “conniving with the Cuban r lobby to affect tariff legislation.” is is going rather far afleld to find subject-matter for & po- litical attack upon the Nation's Chief | Executive. ~However, suppose the President did talk to American citizens calling upon the subject of a tariff on Cuban sugar. For him to give audience to men of personal repute, who are also repre- sentatives of industry or commerce, does not constitute a plot, nor a conversa- tion between the two a connivance. “But_even if the President said he would like an embargo, or no duty at All, it would not constitute a crime. And while on Cuban sugar, I may suggest that Mr. Garner and the so-called Cuban lobby are in apparent accord. Both have expressed a desire for a lower duty on sugar, and both have given consideration to the so-called sliding scale. In fact, Mr. Garner was one of the proponents of the much-discussed sliding scale. ‘White House Doors Open. “However, as the news columns of the dally press abundantly prov®, the Presi- dent also received and talked to repre- sentatives of the beet-sugar industry, just as he received and talked with hundreds of representatives of all kinds of industry, commerce and business and public_weifare since his incumbency in DECEMBER 23, the White House.

It has been a cosmopolitan list, such as ml{ht well be expected of the Nation's Chief Executive. The President does and must hold the door of the White House open to every variety of thought : and opinion; the only limit is the phy- sical time available. “Surely there is nothing ‘reprehen- sible’ in the action of the President of the United States in discussing public questions with individual callers. It is vital for public welfare that he should do so. “Undoubtedly, some of his callers have sought to convey the impression by public statement and in private cor- respondence that the President was partisan to their viewpoint, and ex- pressed himself to them accordingly. As every one familiar with public lite well knows, this is a failing of » limited number of visitors who see the President. No Chief Executive has ever occupled the White House who has not been the victim of such representa- tions. The President has no' defense against these unfortunate incidents, ex- cept he close the door to all comers and become & political recluse. Ob- viously, public welfare would be greatly injured by his doing so. Most assuredly he does not desire to do it, nor do the people of the United States want him to do it. “On the other hand, no individual or organization enjoying the slightest famillarity with official procedure ana possessing the most meager desire for fairness, holds the President of the United accountable for what some thira party says some one told him the Presi- dent said to some one else. Representa- tive Garner is not %o untutored in official manners as to be ignorant of this fact. Even the Democratic na- tional committee, amateurish thougn some of its actions are, is not so un- sophisticated.” Lobby Probers Handicapped. Garper’s statement said: “There is no process by which a senatorial investigating committee can call the President of the United States before it for testimony. Consequently the lobby investigating committee 1s handicapped in getting at the facts m the Lakin-Shattuck enterprise, in which, according to the correspondence among the members of the Cuban sugar lobby and President Machado of Cuba, Presi- dent Hoover took a conspicuous part. “We have, for examplé, & copy ot a long re) by lent Lakin of the ba Co. to President Ma- chado, in which, among other things, it was stated that ‘Senator Smoot was not willing to co-oj te.” This report also says of Shattuck, ‘He had been in constant touch with the White House and Senator Smoot." “‘Other documents present the Presi- dent of the United States as directly advising the lobbyists how to proceed. “In_face of these communications, Mr. Shattuck denled before the com- mittee that he ever talked about sugar with the President. But the Lakin re- port to Machado contains this lan- guage: ‘If Shattuck and I can succeed | in keeping public opinion aroused, the administration may, along-toward the | end of the debate in the Senate, secretly notify the Republican leaders that the tariff on sugar must not be increased.’ “Lakin wrote to Shattuck, referring to certain Cuban editorials which he thought ought to be ‘called directly to the attention of the White House,’ this significant expression: ‘Just before we last went to Cuba, you had an interview with President Hoover. You understood him to approve of Cuban criticism.” “Of equal, if not greater, significance is the statement in the correspondence that Walter Newton, the President's secretary, had been directed to place Franklin 8127-8128-8129-7458 not been confined to those who be- | mi S.

Mr. Newton, it will be recalled, although he had been to the White House secrel ip, retained his seat as a Representative from Minnesota until the ways and means committee had drafted the tariff bill. Ohviously, nobody but the President of the United States could dircet Secretary Newton to do anything. Inference Held Necessary. “There have been no denials of these statements. The inference has been that they indicate a conspiracy to con- vey to the President of Cuba that the sugar lobbyists had the direct influence of the President of the United States at their command and that he was ac- tively putting the machinery of the White House at their disposal. This in- ference is necessary, for nobody, re- gardless of political affiliations, would wish to think the President of this country capable of being used for such & purpose as Messrs. Lakin and Shat- tuck were engaged in. However, failing any authoritative repudiation of the sugar crowd's claim of influence, un- fortunately many people may not take the charitable view of the episode. “Some of his friends have stated that it would be derogat to the dignity of | the office of Presiddnt for Mr. Hoover to take any notice of the Lakin-Shat- tuck-Machado correspondence. “There is certainly less peril to the dignity of that great office in the is- suance of a declaration that would re- assure the country than there is in let- ting go uncontradicted the word of the president of a big industrial corpora- tion and of Mr. Hoover's personal at- torney to the President of another country that the Chief Executive of the United States was pulling the chest- gu‘f:uout of the fire for a crew of lob- yists. “There can be no doubt that Lakin thought Shattuck had established con- tact with the White House, as revealed in the former's letter to the latter, in which these words are used, ‘You saw the President yesterday.’ Lakin must have been advised that Shattuck had seen, or would see, the President or he could not have assumed as much. “If Lakin's assumption that Shattuck saw the President was without founda- tion, Mr. Hoover could dispel all doubt by declaring whether or not he had the interview with Shattuck which Lakin's reference clearly indicated he did have.” w3 DOLPH IS FETED AS HONOR GUEST Dinner Compliments Manager of D.
