POL 10 RECFE ABOT LY § Contributions for Central Area May Carry Through Summer. Although the fund for reopening the swimming pool at the 614 E Street Y. W. C. A. to the children of Wash- ington’s central area is far short of Its goal, the pool will be reopened about July 6, in the hope that enough will be contributed to keep it going She rest of the'Summer. This announcement was made today 'by the Central Neighborhood Council, sponsors of the pool, for which The Star is accepting contributions. Hope for Belated Gifts. Disappointed at the poor response to their appeal, which has attracted less than one-third of the necessary fund, officials of the council never- theless decided to go ahead with their plans, hoping that belated gifts would make possible a continuance of the pool facilities. The fund being raised amounts only to a little more than $50. Mrs. Luke I. Wilson, a liberal contributor last year and again this year, has recog- nized the imperativeness of the situa- | tion by increasing her donation from $15 to $25. An anonymous contribu- tor gave $1 today. $200 From Last Year. To supplant this small “war chest,” the Central Neighborhood Council has about $200 left over from last Sum- | mer's pool fund. The council was somewhat puzzled by the slow response to its appeal this year, since last year its goal was surpassed by more than $300. It set out to raise $750 and got more than $1,000, making possible & small balance to open the pool again this July. The current appeal, however, is aimed at $500 and has not gotten $100. Miss Sibyl Baker, director of play- grounds, is co-operating with the council and has arranged to send workmen to the “Y” Monday to clean the pool premises and the tank itself. Before the pool can be opened, a few repairs must be made and coal either donated or purchased. Since coal represents & large item of expense, sponsors hoped it would be donated, Bs was the case last year. Irvin S. Cobb Says: Patchwork Quilt or Mosquito Net Due as Union Platform. SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 25.— At Cleveland, there was harmony and a quiet interment for the Old Guard, with no flowers and “derned” few mourners. At Philadelphia, the pro- ceedihgs move along on greased roll- ers—trust “Jeems” Farley to see to the lubrication. But for real excite- ment, wait until that new Union Party holds its convention next month. Then will be the signal to remove the women and children to a place of safety. Just = « consider who'll be there: The inflation- ists who think that, as long as k we have Govern- ment engraving plants and print- ing presses, money should be plentiful. The group committed THE EVENING STAR, Groarty. Father Coughlin, calling for social justice and better radio hook- ups. Huey Long's successors, who'd share the wealth and make every man a king. Forgetting that every king isn’'t a man—a fact they've been find- ing out about these last few years. Every reformer with an ism. Every insurgent with a protest. Every vol- unteer savior of ‘mankind with a formula. And poor candidate Lemke, walking into that medley of conflicting emo- tions like Daniel into the lions’ den. I never yet knew a statesman with & plan who could see any possible merit in the other fellow’s plan until his own plan had been tried out. So stand by for a platform that will either be a patchwork quilt or a mos- quito net. (Copyright, 1¥36, by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.)
