PRLIRPNKS’HT ATD.A R SESSON Secretary Doak Denounces Obstructionists in Dealing With Aliens. (Continued From First Page.) nize national defense as a cardinal | principle of the D. A. R, it was said b_\'l spokesmen for the administration, the | naotional defense policies for the next three years will be stripped of the spec- tacular | It will be a conservative program, it was said, yet sufficiently strong to meet all D. A R requirements | Mrs. Walker, who was much vpset | by a report that she had not been| asked to continue in office, denied to- | day “certain unfounded statements” in the press. Seated With Delegation. | She was seated as usual, during the present session, among the Washington State delegation and arcse to ask the privileges of the floor. Like Mrs. Ho- bart, she sought to pour ofl on the troubled waters. for she regrets the publicity given to her retirement. “In retiring from active service this year it has been my avowed intention | and consistent procedure to refrain from D A R. political activity. The statement that I have expressed prefer- ence and professed poliiical ectivity in the definite term claimed by the press, | s entirely without foundation in fact.” Mrs. Walker had announced yester- day, however. her preference for 8 of the 10 candidates for vice president general. On the other hand, Mrs, Magna, the president-general candidate, had anncunced she would keep “hands off" the vice presidential election. Legislation to empower President Hoover to declare the existence of an economic emergency and order all aliens not gainfully employed to leave the country was voted today by the Con- gress. A dozen resolutions upholding the efforts of the administration to ap- ply drastic enforcement, besides vigor- ous national defense measures opposing reductions of the Army and Navy, were included in the platform, adopted with- out_any opposing votes. “Suprems confidence in the principles and policies of Georg> Washington” also was_registered by the D. A. R. in a resolution attacking “disloyalty” afoot throughout the country. Meanwhile delegates were swarming about the polls in the triennial elec- tion. which will result in = sweeping victory for Mrs. Russell William Magna of Holyoke, Mass., unopposed candidate for president general, and her 10 can-| didates for cabinet posts. 2,001 Registered Volers. A total of 2,001 registered voters wiil £0 to the polls, Mrs. Henry M. Robert, Jr, chairman of crecentials, reported early today. The total registration of |. this Congress including alternates, was | 2,591, greater by 195 members than that of the 1931 congress A repercussion of yesterday's disclos- ure that Mrs William Sherman Walker will not be given a place in the new ad- ministration as national defense chair- man, was being reflected in D. A. R. circles today by the aroused antagon- ism of her iegion of loyal supporters. The only election contest will center on the selection of the eighth vice pres- idents general, 10 candidates being in the field. Polls will b> kept open until late this afternoon, and the announce- ment of the election results made at to- night’s session. The resolution to give President ‘Hoover emergency powers to deport unemployed aliens was the same as adopted recently by the Woman's Patriotic Conference held in Washing- ton and organized by Mrs. Walker the National Defense chairman. Secretary Doak Supported. Secretary Doak was vigorously up- held in his efforts to deport criminal | aliens and other undesirables. Reduc- tion of immigration quotas to 10 per cent of the allotment provided in the act of 1924 and extension of the quota system to all countries of the Western | Hemisphere not now subject to definite | control, also was A . “Emphatic opposition to the recog- nition to the Soviet Russian govern-| ment” was voted and copies of the| resolution ordered sent to Secretary of | State Stimson and Chairman Borah of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee. Further resolutions urging legislation to make it a criminal offense to advo- cate or promote the overthrow or de- gtruction of the United States Govern- ment by force or violence were em- bodied in the platform. Denouncing economy measures look- ing to further reductions in the Army and Navy, the D. A. R. unanimously upheld the work of its National Defense Cemmittee, the report on which will be rendered by Mrs. Walker later today. Building up of the Navy to the utmost limits of the London treaty was advo- cated. Opposition likewise was ex- pressed to appropriation reductions which would curtail the armed military forces, including the National Guard, below their authorized strength.

Beav- ers rendered her report as chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee During the past year the committee kept numbers of workmen employed on alterations and re- decorations t> Constitution Hall, Memo- rial Continental Hall and the Adminis- tration Building. A wear-and-tear fund has been provided for Constitulion Hall, she said, for future needs Mrs. Beavers also is custodian of the many priceless antiques and historical She reported the receipt of hundreds of gifts to the rcoms and collections during the past year. | The District of Columbia room in Memorial C ntinental Hall has been presented with a copy of the Amer- ican’s Creed and a photcgraph of the picture of Marcia Burns, which is to be copied and hung by the Marcia Burns Chapter as a companion picture to that of Drlly Madison, Mrs. Beavers ' reported. The framed copy of the American's Creed was given by Miss Helen Stout, chairman of the District room. The District of Columbia also has placed an iron grill at the door, so that it is now possible to display the antiques with perfect safety. Indiana| has reproduced the kitchen at historic, Kenmore. At last, she reported, the dream of a Colonial kitchen is being materialized. Oklahoma has started the work and other States have joined in| equipping it. All States which have owned rooms in Continental Hall have! provided generously for their upieep. 1,846 «Children Helped. A total of 1846 boys and girls throughout the country have been aided | during the past year through National and State Student Loans, Miss Marjorie A. Spalding, chairman of the fund, an- nounced in her annual report. This record is incomplete, she explained, for some States have not kept complete record of funds. Reports this year show $83.676 in local funds, $177,707 in State funds for student loans, a gain in both of $34,370 over last year. “Several States plan to make no loans to students until funds reach a certain size, varying from $1.000 to $5.000," Miss Spaulding said. "It seems almost tragic to have the money out of use for even a few days when so many needy students are ci oring for aid.” To meet the challenge made by the unusual number of requests for aid, she reminded the congress, the loan funds must be increased in every possible way. Hundreds of students who would be self-supporting, but for the economic :fir&flm are being forced to ask for (.

It comes eventu- ally to four out of five people. It actually is the cause of half the adult teeth which are lost. 3 Nobody today believes that sim- ple polishing is all that is needed to keep healthy teeth. There is much more to it than that. When teeth “come out” there is a deeper cause than mere cleanliness or non-cleanliness. As often as not this deeper cause is pyorrhea. Dr. R. J.

Its other duty is to protect your gums. Dentists all over the country are using the professional formula of Dr. Forhan in treating pyorrhea and Forhan’s Toothpaste pre- serves the same scientific principle for preventive hygiene at home. Forhan’s is a pleasant-tasting, agreeable toothpaste for gener;i family use. It is pure and mild— liked by the children.
