The Roman sandal motif, wide- ly featured at the tenth annual Boston Shoe Show, which opened vesterday, also was carried out in pajama sandals for beach wear and openwork mules for boudoir wear. Actually, these sandals for formal evening wear are a radical expansion of the “King Tut” sandal that ap- peared a decade ago.

A pattern of silver deposit on the most delicate of tinted pottery is dis- played at the annual glass and pottery exposition, which opened its 10-day show for “the trade” yesterday. Silver deposit on glass has long been on the market, but until this year it had been considered impractical if not impossible on pottery. It is so new that the company exhibiting it has only “experimental” numbers. It is featured mostly in vases and other decorative Ppleces.

William Sloane Coffin, president of the Museum board, in a statement couched in dignified language, retorted | that the patriots were rather slow to miss it. It had been taken down two or three years ago. Then the patriots, in one group after another, bid to borrow the picture dur- ing the Washington Bicentennial. Mr. Coffin issued another statement yesterday, telling them all nobody would borrow it until after the Bicentennial| exhibition. The museum wants it after | all. It will be hung in the American wing, beginning February 16. | He assured every one the painting, “cannot be classified as a masterpiece, nor is it an accurate historical record.” ‘Nevertheless,” he continued, “we be- lieve it is both fitting and desirable that this picture should be shown at the time of the Washington Bicenten- nial, and shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, because, in spite of ob- vious defects, it has great interest for many people in this country who were accustomed to seeing copies of this pic- ture in their school books.” { A.

Conference Useless. It would be useless to hold the com- ing international reparations conference at Lausanne, the editorial said, unless there are assurances beforehand that definite action will be taken there, add- ing that a re-examination of the tech- nical points by experts is unnecessary, because these technical points are known to everybody. The decision, if one is reached. it said, must be based on the political aspect. “This is the cnly, the inev- itable and the necessary decision,” it said, and if the nations are not dis- posed to make it, it would be better to declare an end to “this costly and very dangerous mania for conferences, which always leads to delusions.” “No nation can save itself from eco- nomic crisis by hearding gold,” the edi- korlnl said. “We refer to France.” Disorders Foreseen. It referred to Mussolini's speech at Naples on October 15, declaring it is time to put an end to “the tragic bookkeeping of the war” and said that vith the coming conference in mind there is a_strong reason for applying, not later than this month, that diffi- cult precept contained in the most simple and most universal of Christian prayers.” “The_peoples will not stand for an- other Winter of crisis without dis- orders of unpredictable proportions,” it said.

The federation unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Chairman Stephen James of the Committee on Public Finance and Budget, opposing the passage by Congress of the Mapes bill as inexpedient and oppressive and expressing particular opposition to sec- tion 10 of the bill, which “seeks to im- pose for the benefit of the District of Columbia an income tax upon persons not resident of the District.” Removal of the United States Gov- ernment Experiment Station, located near Wisconsin avenue here, to a more suitable agricultural section and dedi- cation of the 50-acre tract for park pur- poses by the Federal Government was advocated in a resolution introduced by Emory H.

The resolution also asked the federatiorf to declare itself in favor of the development of a parkway along Willett Brook and Little Falls Branch Valleys, including community play- grounds and parks, as speedily as con- ditions and finances will permit. and asked that attempt be made to have a bill introduced in the Senate to make the tract available for a park, and further asked that the Maryland- National Capital Park and Planning Commission advise the federation as to the status of itz study of these valleys for park purposes.

Lending money to the railroads may prevent receiverships, but it will not create traffic. Would Create Markets. | “On the other hand, a public works program will create instant orders for materials and instant trafic for the railroacs. 1Iron, steel, lumber, cement | brick, tile, glass and all other building supply industries will be stimulated im- | mediately. Resumption of production |on an increased scale by those indus- | tries will, in turn, require products | from mines, quarries and forests. Large | | shipments of both finished and raw ma- terlals, necessitated by a program of such size, would be reflected at once | in increased traffic for the railroads land increased business activity for the | whole country.” | " Senator La Follette said testimony at | recent_hearings of his Committee on | | Manufactures “proves beyond refuta- | tion that the social progress made dur- |ing the last 50 vears will be wiped out | unless action is taken quickly.” He | expressed doubt of the success of any immediate further drives by Communi- ty Chests or special charity funds.

Elgen to| — ment of the Rockville pike, advocated by the Rockville Pike Citizens' Associa- tion, was indorsed by the federation in a resolution adopted, but direct responsi- bility in the matter was left to the com- munities directly concerned, and the resolution referred jointly to the Rock- ville and Bethesda Chambers of Com- merce. The resolution called attention to the fact that the lower end of Wis- consin avenue still remains to be im- proved. Resolution introduced on behalf of the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce that the federation support the Poto- mac Electric Power Co. in its attempts to continue under the consent agree- ment which the Public Utilities Com- mission of Washington is attempting to upset, and to oppose any movement which would discriminate against resi- dents of the county in the matter of electric rates, was referred to Commit- tee on Legislation and Legal Action.

Lambert, chairman, which was received, stated that the question of opening Beech avenue between Old Georgetown road and the Rockville pike was barred, at least temporarily, by court proceedings.

Murray Gover, chairman of the Lighting | Committee, who recommended all-night | lighting, said that Riverdale, aroused | over recent robberies there, had decided | upon_all-night lighting and that while Hyattsville had been comparatively free from serious robberies and crime, due, | perhaps, to & large extent to its effi-| cient policing, lighting until sun-up | would be & good deterrent to crime. | Councilman Gover said that all-night lighting would cost Hyattsville 113285 | more than the approximately $5.300 it | now costs for street lighting, or a total of some $6.430 a year. He thought the money couid not be better spent and | was confident that citizens of the town | generally fely, the same way about it. | Contract Is Ordered. This also was the attitude of the council generally and Corporation Coun- sel Caesar A. Alello was asked to enter into a contract with the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. as soon as possible for | all-night lighting. At the same time | Mr. Alello was asked to take up with | the power company officials the ques- | tion ‘of securing lower light rates here. | Ordinances were adopted providing for changing the name of Ellaville street (from Avalon avenue to Colesville road) to Garfleld avenue and making faflure | to observe the new traffic lights in- stalled on the Washington-Baltimore | Boulevard unlawful. _Conviction for failure to observe the lights will carry a fine of not more than $5 and not less than $1 and in default of fine a jail | sentence not exceeding five days | Herbert J. Moffat, Harry C. Dotbs | and Charles L. Ervin were appointed | assessors to make the annual appraise- ment of new property in the town. It was decided to refer to the Po- | lics Committee for further study an | ordinance providing for the closing of | amusements in town at 1 o'clock every | night except Saturday, when the closing | time would be midnight. | An application for the rezoning of | provertv on Arundel avenue cirectly op- posite the high school ‘rom resident A to residential C, to vermit the er tion of apartments, is not favored by | Council, it was decided, and the Mary- land-National Capltal Parx and Plan- | ning Commission will be so advised.
