Dr. William Charles White, presi- dent of the Washington Tuberculosis Association, said the main objective is to remind azempubnc oto t:zug- ortance of protecting every one, - Elally children, from contact Wwith known_sources of tuberculosis infec- tion. He referred to past work of the assoclation in obtaining uniform laws for pasterized milk and other measures that had helped to reduce the former high mortality from the disease. Financed by Seal Sales. He also reminded the audience that the scientific investigation looking to better control of the disease, includ- ing the work of the principal speaker of the evening, Dr. John Claxton Git- tings of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, during the past five yeafs, s financed by the national association with some of the ‘m?xu raised by the sale of Christmas seals. Dr. Gittings, with the aid of a series of X-ray films showing the progressive stages of tuberculous lunf infection in children and lantern slides on the screen, gave & vivid picture of the re- sults of the study of childhood tuber- culosis at the Tuberculosis Clinic of the Harriet Lane Home, Johns Hop- kins Hospital. Dr. Gittings explained the nature of bodlly resistance to the germ invasions provided the child could have adequate rest, proper diet and regular exposure to sunshine, the breathing of fresh air and erdinary health habits.

ADJOURNMENT JUNE 1 FORESEEN BY RAINEY Speaker Pleads for Continued Sup- port of Roosevelt's Whole Program. By the Associated Press. A continued session of Congress until June 1 so it can complete President Roosevelt’s program was foreseen today by Speaker Rainey, whq added that “everything we have done so far won't amount to one thing unless we get the whole program.” Through newspaper men at his daily press conference, the Speaker appealed for “continued support.” “we will win this war if the people back home will stay with us,” he sald. “So far they have—they have been al- most unanimous. “I hope we can adjourn Congress around June 1, but I don't see much chance of doing it before then. We can’t keep on moving as fast as we have been.” BUILDING PROGRAM IS UP TO PRESIDENT - $100,000,000 Already Appropriated for Public Works Remains TUnobligated. 3 By the Assoclated Press. 1 Any change in present plans for con- structing public buildings throughout the United States must be made- by i President Roosevelt. % “Guesswork” was the way Federal 1 officials today termed reports that cer- i tain post offices already authorized had ! ’been abandoned. ‘The Treasury has nearly $100,000,000 of the money appropriat % fa'; the relief rogram a year ago ready carry on {’hlf. work, which can be used by the President in his reforestation plan. No instructions have been issued to the Treasury to discontinue this work and it is planned to expend $30.000,000 of the amount in construction of build- ings next year. Even if the money now available is taken, it was pointed out, it probably would be returned under the public works program—though the President has authority to review the projects au- thorized and eliminate gny which he may deem unnecessary. ‘The regular public building program will not be affected by the reforestation plan, as the unexpended balance: of $119,997,682 has been obligated. The reforestation bill provides that funds for it may be obtained through use of unobligated moneys already ap- propriated for use by the Treasury for public works.

Cites $125,000 a Day Cost of Deliberations on City’s Affairs. e ‘The plight of the voteless citizens of the National Capital, who are denled a vote and voice ih the Congress that makes the laws under which they live, has found a new champion among the first-term members, Representative John H. Hoeppel of California. Pointing out that the residents of the District of Columbia have “aboslutely no voice in the conduct of tkeir own affairs,” Mr. Hoeppel has broadcast to the people all over the country tl:rough the Congressional Record his conviction that the people resident in the Nation's Capital should have voting represent- ation, in part as follows: “I am a firm believer in State rights and the self-determination of the people in all problems which concern them. Here we have the monarchical anomaly of seeking to impress the will of Congress upon a corporate entity without in any way ascertaining the wishes of the inhabitants thereof. Des- pite the fact that the citizens of the District of Columbia are typical of the highest type citizenry in American life, and despite the fact that numerically they are at least five times greater than is the entity of the State of Nevada, nevertheless, Nevada, with its total pop- ulation of less than one-fifth of the District of Columbia, has two votes in the Senate and one jn the House. “The District of Columbia has abso- lutely no voice in. the conduct of its own affairs. Within a democracy, I protest monarchial action by any one body over another without permitting the people so governed to express them- selves on the issues involved, “In this same connection I digress to state that in my opinion s Demo- cratic reorganization of Congress itself is necessary in order that the voice of the new members-elect may be equally heard. The fetters and incongruities existing in seniority or divine right of rule should be abrogated in the interest of representative government. “We have heard a great deal in ref- erence to economy, yet we here today are debating questions involving the liberties not of an alien but of a kindred people, and at the expense of the tax- CT REPRESENTATIVE HOEPPEL. payers of the United States we are seeking to perform that which, in jus- tice and in_liberty, they themsclves should do. It is understood that the deliberations of Congress on District of Columbia affairs cost the Government $125,000 per day. What an unnecessary burden this is on the impoverished tax- payers of our Nation! It is ridiculous to find this Congress, whose members receive at least $25 per day, legislating on the question of removal of a corpse from onc cemetery to another, or to find them legislating on the closing of an alley or the qualifications of a dog catcher or any other ificant detail of petty government wi a sergeant of police might decide! “The people of the District of Colum- bia are entitled to the right of self- determination, and if Congress will not relinquish its oligarchy completely, suggest that in the interest of economy they delegate such authority to at least five feudal lords or commissioners, who should be headed by an imperial potentate or dictator or some kind of an administrator whose duty it would be to perform all the functions of gov- ernment which now, unfortunately, take s0 much valuable time of the dis- tinguished members of Congress, whose time could and should be more profitably employed in the interest of the unem- ployed and our overburdened taxpayers.

By the Assoclated Press. ATHENS, Greece, March 25.—The newspaper Patris, organ of the Venizelos party, sald today it had verified reports that Col. Levidis, former aide de camp to King George, II, is here to discuss| the possibility of restoring the mon- archy. ‘The reports were denled in author- itative quarters recently when Col. Levidis arrived in Athens. George II of Greece, who succeeded his father, King Constantine, after the ebdication in 1922, reigned only a year before he was forced to leave Greece. He has been living in exile ever since. Recntly it was reported that restora- tion of the moarchy in Greece was dis- cussed at a conference between King Carol of Rumania and King Alexander of Yugoslavia. —— EX-DANCER ABSOLVED IN HOG CRUELTY CASE Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin Didn't Cause Man’s Arrest for Starving Animals Jury Decides.

Mr. Hartson said -Mrs. McLean ap- proved of Mr. Minor as receiver but felt that some one more familiar with newspaper operation and the affairs of the Post in particular might render valuable service as a co-receiver.

Justice Cox observed that “that was certainly the court’s hope.” Julius I.

Mr. Peyser pointed out that he.was not consenting to the re- ceivership, but said the will of John R. McLean provided for' the retention of Mr. Marks as r of the Post. Yesterday the appointment of & recelver for the paper was strenuously opposed by Peyser.

But guarantees from Berlin that any irresponsible element ameng his follow= ers who commit violence will be dealt with severely and that “legal” rights of Jews will be safeguarded has not yet quieted the fears of Jews all over the world for their raclal brethren. Demonstrations of protest were being carried out or planned in many coun- tries today. Certdin Jewish organiza- tions in Germany deprecated reports in foreign countries of atrocities. Protests Are Staged. In Prance, where government leaders have called Hitler’s activities menacing, a committee has bee@ organized under former Premier Paul Painleve to aid victims of reported anti-Semitic acts in Germany. Two thousand Jews and gentiles in London protested last night against alleged acts of the Hitler gov- ernment. Jewish war veterans led a& (v:tnm'. parade Thursday in New York ity. The Jewish war veterans called on posts in 85 cities in the United States to hold parades Monday or as soon as possible thereafter. Civic leaders have to join in a mass meeting Monday night in Madison Square Gar- den in’ New York, and aimilar demon- strations are planned next Sunday and Monday in other cities in the United States and Canada. Dispatches from abroad state that plans are being carried out for mani= festations in many countries simul- A report from War~ saw said Jews there would join in world-wide protests on that day in re- sponse to a request by the Jewish Con- gress of America. Boycott German Goods. Jewish leaders will meet in London tomorrow to decide on what action, if any, to take. But many Jewish mer- chants there already have started a boycott on German goods. Jewish lead- ers in Amsterdam warned Dutch Jews to refrain from any action that might “aggravate anti-semetic tendencies” in Germany. ‘The Federal Council of Churches of hrist in America, speaking for 22 Protestant denominations protested through its Executive Committee against “discrimination” against Jews in Germany. Governors of Pennsyl- vania, Wyoming, South Carolina, Mas- sachusetts 2and Maine sent messages of sympathy to the Jewish congress here. Meanwhile, in Germany the Hitler regime appeared to be attempting to confine its suppressive measures against Jews to those associated with Com- munist activities or to the Jews who into the country since the b:- | poured ginning of the World War from ern Europe. From Northwest Bavaria came reports that Eastern Jews would be deported from that area. Hitler, the apostie of nationalism, who complains the Jews lack the na- tionalistic spirit he wants to create in Germany, has even said in private talks ;.hl! “decent Jews” have nothing to fear. Fight Democratic Spirit. His war against democracy, which he calls the evil that ruined Germany and made her the prey of foreign nations, gave force to his anti-Jewish drive. b, ocracy is in principle not German, but Jewish,” he said. The revival of old imperial emblems and traditions and the solemn cere- monies this week at Potsdam, seat of the old monarchy, are expressions of what he asserts is the true German spirit—the antithesis of democracy. The renewed drive against the East- emn Jews recalls a bill introduced by Hitler’s Nazis last Summer, before had the power to carry it, to confiscate the possessions of all Jews who entered Germany since August'l, 1914. They were to be taken on grounds that Jews “belong to a race that does not work productively, but merely grasps.” Another favorite Hitler thesis is that “Jews and the stock exchanges were re- | sponsible for the World War.” HENDERSON ESTATE _ FIGHT IS REOPENED Collectors File Application Court for Additional Fe~ of $20,000. to (Prom the 5:30 Edition of Yesterday's Star.)

It was alleged that the collectors have declined to turn over the estate to George Edelin, who has qualified as executor, until their fee has been paid. Counsel for those who would benefit in a settlement of the estate point out, however, that a pending suit for an ac- counting of the estate leaves doubt as just what property finally will be .
