" INSTITUTE LISTS " DOMESTICISSUES Virginia Public Affairs Ses- sion Program Shows ¢ Shift in Interest. By the Associated Press. UNIVERSITY, Va., June 22.—Dr. Charles G. Maphis, director of the In- stitute of Public Affairs, said today he has discovered that the American people are much more interested just now in the internal affairs of their Nation than they are in international Telations. He said this appeared to be the case from observations made in putting finishing touches on the program of the ninth annual session of the insti- tute which begins next Sunday, June 30, at the University of Virginia. When plans for the 1935 session were first outlined several months ago it appeared that the European situation, the crisis in the Pacific area, condi- tions in Mexico, the war in the Gran Chaco and such foreign problems would be much more important than anything at home. Scene Shifts Quickly. Domestic problems would not, how- ever, remain in the background. As conditions swiftly changed discussions of such questions as the Constitution versus the New Deal; social security; Federal, State and local taxation, States rights and others like them | have taken on greatly increased inter- est, Dr. Maphis said. After he had announced all topics for round table conferences, Dr. Maphis decided to add a discussion of “The Constitution and the New Deal.” Then came the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the N. R. A, which was followed by the stand of President Roosevelt. Because he wanted speakers repre- senting different points of view, Dr. Maphis said he sought the help of the American Liberty League, which agreed to send eight speakers to repre- sent it. invited to speak in the interest of the New Deal. New Dealers Scarce. Spokesmen for the administration have, Dr. Mapinis scid, been more | than usually hard to obtain. Last year he had no difficulty getting any number of men from Washington to speak on the N. R. A. the banking laws and labor conditicns. This year he has sent many iuvita- tions to officials in Washington, in- cluding six cabinet members, asking them to represe! e adminis‘ration before this discussion group, but so Tar the one acceptance has been from Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of internal revenue. James W. Wadsworth. former Sen- ator from New York; Dr. Neil Czroth- ers, director of the Coliege of Business Administration in Lebigh University, and Raoul E. Desvernire, attorney of WNew York City, are the first spokes- men for the Libeity League to be announced. To lead this discussion Dr. Maphis has obtained Demarest Lloyd, editor and publisher of affairs. a man whose activities in Washington havs kept him in close touch with several ad- ministrations. Half of the institute groups will consider wholly domestic problems of the United Staies, while six cthers will be devoted to foreign affzirs of particular relationship to Ameiican people. Women to Participate. A discussion of economic tecurity will be sponsored by the National Federation of Business and erofes- sional Women's C'ubs, under the lead- ership of Dr. Eveiine M. Burns, who is a member of the Fiesident’s Com- mittee on Economic Security. This group will be addressed by Al- bert Linton, presidert of the Prov- ddent Mutual Insurance Co.; Dr. Wil- liam Ogburn, Uriversity of Chicago; Dr. Ewan Clague of Friladelphia, Dr. Edith Abbott, suthor and social worker, of Chicago; Jacob Baker. as- sistant F. E. R. A. administrator; Dr. J. Douglas Brown of Princeton Uni- versity; Dr. Edgar Sydenstricker sci- entific director of the Milbank me- morial fund; Dr. Barbara Armstrong of the University of California and Dr. Broadus Mitchell, economist of Johns Hopkins University. Another group which is attracting attention is that on “Taxation for Prosperity,” to e directed by Dr. ‘Thomas Reed of the University of Michigan, director of the consultant service of the National Municipal League.

Miss Moore graciously accepted the invitation, because of her interest in such projects, and named the day. On that day, however, school was closed’ But Miss Moore wrote: “Dear Betty Harvey and other members of Miss Fowler’s class: “I am so sorry I am not able to see THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO Miss Moore to See Doll House Miss Fowler. your lovely model house, as nothing interests me more than small houses.

The project was started early in the session as a part of the class-room work in learning home responsibilities. It was decided that such a practical project would im- press the lessons more, and every boy and girl took part. There are six rooms in the structure, the first floor having a living room, dining room and kitchen. The second floor has a master bed room, a Colonial bed room and bath. Not only was the building constructed, but the furniture was made by the children, and the interior is electrically lighted. MRS.

HOME OF THE CHICKERING PIANO YOU DONT HAVE TO BREAK IN' THE FORD V-8 You can drive it 50 miles an hour the day you buy it THE FORD V-8 is ready for normal driving when you buy it. There is no tedious period of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first day. And after the first hundred miles you can drive it as fast as you desire. That means greater motoring enjoyment for every motorist. It is especially important to motorists who are thinking about a new car for a vacation trip—to physicians, salesmen and all those who use a car for business. Instead of dragging along at slow speeds for days, yon can make good time from the start. L J The reason for this is as important as the result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in because of unususal accuracy in the manufacture of moving parts and the smoothness of bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tightness and insure smooth running. Longer life, greater economy and better performance are bound to result from such precision methods. They are further proof of the care and quality that go into the making of the Ford V-8. Formerly only the most expensive cars could be driven at normal speeds from the beginning. That still holds true today — except in the case of the Ford V-8. It gives you fine- - car construction, along with fine-car performance, comfort, safety and beauty. FORD V-8 [y
