. HAZEN RECEIVES MEXICAN GREETING Visitors Enjoy Trip About City Prior to International Foot Ball Game. Official greetings from Cosme Hino- Josa, chief of the federal district of Mexico, were delivered to Commis- sioner Melvin C. Hazen at the Dis- trict Building today by Maestro Miguel Lerdo de Tejada, director of the Mexico City Tipica Orchestra, here with that city’s all-star high school | foot ball team. The team, which had its first work- out yesterday at Roosevelt High School Stadium, is getting ready to meet Central High, Washington champions, at Grifith Stadium Friday for the benefit of the Police Boys’ Club. Today began early for the foot ball players. Nearly a score of them attended early mass at St. Patrick’s Church, Tenth and G streets, walking the short distance from the Harring- ton Hotel for the rites. Immediately after breakfast, they visited Central, accompanied by Coach Robert P. Martin, and were intro- duced at an assembly. Because of | the early hour, the boys were some- what tardy in getting away from their hotel, but Dr. H. A. Smith, principal, continued the assembly until they ar- rived. Coach Martin and Ernesto Vil- lareal, captain, responded briefly to the welcome they received. Before they could return to their hotel, the musicians, dressed in the typical costume of the Mexican charro or horseman and wrapped in multi- colored sapares or blankets, assem- bled on the entrance steps of the District Building. Commissioner Hazen was accom- panied by Commissioner Dan I. Sul- tan and Maj. Ernest W. Brown, super- intendent of police. Maestro Lerdo de Tejada was presented by Alfredo Garduno Pombo, third secretary of the Mexican Embassy. His short speech was translated by Felipe Flores, his personal aide. Received at Pan-American Union. Meanwhile, the boys of the team accompanied by a group of Spanish- speaking Washington high school boys and girls were received at the Pan- American Union by Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general, and his staff. After & tour of the building, the boys were taken by a police escort to the Wash- ington Mounment for their first real view of the National Capital. A short visit also was made to the | Smithsonian and the National Mu- seum, and the first sight-seeing tour was concluded at the Capitol. F. T. De Berriz, Spanish teacher at McKinley High School, acted as guide for the athletes, and the students rep- resented all of the high schools of the city. Another workout at Roosevelt was scheduled this afternoon, and in order not to break into their training rou- tine nothing has been planned for tonight. Other Greetings. Maestro Lerdo de Tejada planned later today to make a personal call on Maj. Brown to deliver another let- | ter from the head of the Mexico City government. He also has a greeting addressed to J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Bureau of Investigation, and planned to visit the Justice Depart- ment during the day. The band leader expressed regret | today that his organization could not have reached Washington last week, since he had specific instructions, he said, from President Cardenas to serenade President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The embassy has sent invitations for the concert tomorrow night at the Pan-American Union and officlals there expressed regret today that the | seating capacity at the union is so small, since it has been swamped by requests for tickets. Meanwhile, plans are going forward | for a brief flag-raising ceremony pre- ceding the game. Col. Wallace M. Craigie, commandant of cadets, is in | charge of the program and is working out details with John P. Meshkof!, di- rector, for participation of the Police Boys' Club and its band. Only a brief program is planned for the boys tomorrow, and Thursday, | when they will have no workout, they will be guests at Alexandria for the annual Thanksgiving game between ‘Washington-Lee High School and George Washington High. That afternoon they will visit their | own embassy. After the game Friday the two| teams will be guests of Central High | School alumni at a dinner at which| the trophy, given by The Evening| Btar, will be presented. | DR. HADEN TO SPEAK Will Address Naval Medical Offi- | cers Next Monday. Capt. H. W. Smith, commanding the Naval Medical School here, today an- nounced that next Monday evening the monthly meeting of naval medical officers in this area will be held at the | &chool. Dr. Russell L. Haden, former asso- ciate professor of medicine and pro- | fessor of experimental medicine at the | University of Kansas and now head of the department of medicine at the Cleveland, Ohio, clinic, will speak on | “Arthritis in Relation to Infection, Endocrinology and Metabolism.” — SPECIAL NOTICES.

Orchestra Must Have Flores Near Before Members Can Eat. Is Noted in Home Coun-| try as Movie Actor and Singer. THERE‘S no doubt about it. The busiest man in town right now is young Felipe Flores, singer, Mexican motion picture actor and student at the government’s Con- | servatory of Music in Mexico City. For Senor Flores is the chap who speaks all the English for the 70 men in the famed Mexico City Tipica Or- | chestra, in town accompanying the Mexico City all-star high school foot either in person or represented by a written note, whenever any member of the group wants to make any sort of a purchase. None of the musicians speaks Eng- lish so, when they want tobacco, when they want hotel reservations, when | g they want to send out for a sandwich, | when they lost their luggage, when g, their music is misplaced or when any- thing perfectly natural happens it's up to Felipe to do the talking. The only place they can get by without him is m | a cafeteria, where they can point lt’ what they want and don't have to ask | for it. <t Criticize Food Service. 1 ‘These musicians, incidentally, like | everything about this country, accord- | ing to Flores, but the manner of serv- | ing food. This a la carte business, | where a plate bearing a slab of meat, & dab of potatoes and a splattering of peas is shoved in front of you, is not | the Mexican idea of eating. Quan- tity is what they want. Quantity and plenty of torrid spices. The boys often eat the first thing that comes to Felipe's mind when they want an afternoon snack to tide them over between a couple of Amer- ican meals. A guitar player came up to him yesterday in the hotel lobby and rattled off a string of Spanish, Write a SLOGAN Win a USED CAR All you have to do is write a slogan on “Why you think PACKARD fs the safest place to buy s used car.” Get entry blank at showroom.

So Senor Floves did not sk the chap what he wanted, but took card and wrote on it, “One cheese they want to order a meal, when they | sangwich—one glass of milk.” Cheese want to do a bit of sight-seeing, when | was easier to write than combination. Fluency with both English and panish has enabled Felipe to do‘ other things than order meals for a hungry orchestra,. though. Enabled him, for instance, to play one of the leading roles in a motion picture entitled “Janitzio,” the first Mexican cinema made in both languages. The film s to be shown in New York soon. Played in Color Movie. The handsome singer-interpreter {also acted and sang in a photoplay just recently made, “Maria Elena,” the first all-color picture made in Mexico. He is studying music at the Conservatory in Mexico City operated by the government: He likes this con- servatory very much, he says, because they not only know how to teach voice properly, but the tuition amounts to something in the vicinity of ten Amer- ican dollars per year. Felipe is supposed to sing with the ‘Tipica Orchestra, too, but what with handling bookings for concerts and radio programs, looking after advertis- ing, taking care of tickets and cash, seeing that no one loses instruments and music and doing other such odd jobs, he seldom has time to do more than get into his costume at the be- ginning of a concert and out of it at the end. The orchestra, known the world over, was formed by the man who now leads it, Maestro Lerdo de Tejada. The maestro is about 65 now and formed the nucleus of the present group of musicians when he was 14. He also wrote his first musical composition at that time and has since been re- sponsible for several popular Mexican sofigs that never will die. Orthestra Is Popular.

Forty-eight and one-half years of Government service in one office is the record of Lewis A. Kalbach, 662 E street northeast, who is retiring voluntarily on November 30 as chief clerk of the Office of Education, De- partment of the Interior. Kalbach, who will be 69 years old December 12, came to the Office of Education, originally the Bureau.of Education, in 1887, as & young man of 20. He worked his way up through various promotions until he was ap- pointed chief clerk on July 1, 1909, the position in which he has served until the present time. At various times during his long service as chief clerk he has served as acting commissioner of education, has visited State departments of edu- cation throughout the country and has compiled more statistics than any other man on the education system of the country. Kalbach likes to recall the work of the office under Commissioner William Torrey Harris, whose 100th birthday anniversary will be marked with a dinner at the Mayflower Hotel December 9. It was while Harris was commissioner, Mr. Kalbach said, that the bureau became well known and it approved the idea of intro- ducing the domesticated reindeer in Alaska. He is a native of Hamburg, Pa., but has lived in Washington since 1887. He attended the public schools of Hamburg and the United States Naval Academy. Among the con- gratulatory letters received in antici- pation of his retirement one was from Philander P. Claxton, former com- missioner of education, and another from John N. Land, principal of the Hamburg School district. When he retires he and Mrs. Kalbach will go to Florida to spend the Winter, A Actors to Continue Policies.

BUSINESS PEACE URGED BY MOLEY Former Brain Truster Asks Truce in Name Battle With Politics. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 26 —Ray- mond Moley, former ace brain trust- er, today called for a truce in the name-calling and mud-slinging bat- tle between business and politics. During this cessation of hostilities Moley demanded a united front’ to forward a national home building cam- paign designed to provide shelter for the 93 per cent of the people whose family incomes in 1933 were less than $3,000 a year, ’ ‘Too Much Thinking on Names. He spoke before a meeting of the Association of Buying Offices, Inc., a national merchandising and research organization. “It seems to me that 90 per cent of the thinking on each side has been given to the wholly unprofitable task of finding new names to call the other side and of digging up new charges to make against the other side,” said Moley. “I am sorry to reach the rather mournful conclusion that now, in No- vember, this mud-battle is not sub- siding much. * ¢ ¢ “I believe that the people of the United States are getting heartily sick and tired of the old argument. * * * “I am speaking today in behalf of the average man. Let us stop throw- ing bricks at each other and get to- gether and do something for him, for he is the fellow who is keeping both politics and business going in this country.” Aided Committee Formation. Moley for the past year has been an unofficial master of ceremonies in dis- cussions between business men and administration officials and was in- strumental in forming the Committee for Economic Recovery, which has pre- pared a comprehensive housing pro- gram covering the next 10 years. Basing much of his speech on find- ings of the committee, Moley declared surveys show a great proportion of | low-cost housing in America is “a| disgrace to the American living stand- | ard about which we talk so proudl.
