KIWANIANS LAUD CAPITAL BEAUTY ‘Hospitality Also Is Praised by Dakota Delegate to Convention. Praise for the beauty of Washing- ton and its hospitality will be car- ried by delegates to the Kiwanis In- ternational Convention to the four corners of its jurisdiction, if the re- port of O. W. Coursey, former post- master at Mitchell, S. Dak., is any criterion. Making up his report as a delegate, as the meeting, which attracted more than 5,000 Kiwanians and their fam- ilies to the city, prepared to adjourn today, Coursey was enthusiastic over his visit to the “most beautiful city in the world.” “Surrounded by so many historic spots—the battlefields of Virginia, Ar- lington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, and other nearby places of renown—Wash- ington at once becomes the center of 8 multitude of interests,” Coursey de- clared. Buildings Impressive. “A trip to Arlington Cemetery, where the Nation's defenders lie, is worth a trip to Washington, regard- less of other places,” he said. “On opposite sides of a little hillock, with their heads toward each other, and with Admiral George Dewey’s empty tomb between them, lie Gen. Leonard Wood and Col. Willlam Jennings Bryan, both conspicuous in the Span- ish-American War. Yonder is Gen. Lee's old home. Nearby is the grave of the Unknown Soldier. A little beycnd, the masthead of the Maine. One dare not attempt to linger on details.” The public buildings, Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial also impressed Coursey, as they must have thousands of other delegates and their families, he believes. “Over in the City of Washington,” he explained, “all those majestic Gov- ernment buildings, the Washington Monument, representing the heroic in American life; Lincoln Memorial, facing it half a mile away, silent, majestic, impressive, representing the true spirit of tolerance in a land of bloodshed, No man can stand at either of these reminders of our his- toric past, and look out across the other one, without coming away with something inside him that will for- ever make him a better citizen and & better Kiwanian.” «“Spiritual Uplift” in Program. ‘The program arranged for the con- vention guests Coursey described as “a genuine spiritual uplift such as one gets at a great religious revival, where | mass psychology has a definite reaction | Ciated with the more smartly attired on individual initiative.” The vested | Navy and Marine Corps men and choirs of Washington, which joined with similar choirs from several other cities in presenting the musical pro- gram, were another phase of a “be- witching and entrancing” convention. “Then the great speeches at the | who feel, Wed 50 Years CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY AT HOME HERE.

Edur Hoover, the ‘criminals’ enemy No. 1’ and a dozen others” came in for equal appreciation. The educational value of the trip for not only the delegates, but also their families and especially the chil- dren, was one of the most important features of the meeting here, Coursey believes. “The sightseeing trips doubled the value of the jaunt to Washington, and the reception to the convention on the | White House lawn by President Roose- velt added dignity and charm to the whole undertaking. Everything was done in ‘the Washington way'” he concluded. —_— ARMY MAY RETURN TO BLUE UNIFORMS | The traditional blue dress uniform | of the Army may be adopted again, with modern improvements. ‘The War Department is considering the change in view of persistent and growing demands in the Army. Studies are being made of newly: designed uniforms, which include | rolled-collar tunics.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1936. COMMUNIST CITES | PROGRESS IN WEST ‘Good Worlk’ Done in ‘Epic’ Movement—Townsend- ites More Difficult. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 25.—Jack John- stone, delegate from California to the ninth national convention of the Com- munist party, in session here, told the convention today the Communists had “done good work” in his State with the “Epic” movement of Upton Sincleir. He added he considered Communist efforts were “leading them (members of Epic) toward a realignment with a definite Farmer-Labor party.” Dr. F. E. Townsend’s “bureaucratic control” of the Townsend pension forces, Johnstone said, had hampered the Communists’ “work of inflltration in their ranks.” Hope for Greater Progress. “We are, however, carrying on and hope as time goes on to make greater progress in fighting the reactionary tendencies of their leaders and bring- ing them into the broad people’s front,” he added. Johnstone said California law would block any attempt at putting effec- tively in the fleld a broad “Farmere Labor” party ticket, and that the Communists would concentrate on their 12 congressional candidates and 30 candidates for the State Assembly. M. Childs, & delegate from Illinois, gave a report s to progress made in membership work among steel in- dustry employes and attacked the “‘capitalist press” of Chicago. Meanwhile Earl Browder, a mild- mannered former Kansas hookkeeper, held firm control of the Communist party today and was practically as- UG Beairty Qur Du CLEANED AND STORED @ NA. 3291 SANITARY CARPET & RUG CLEANING €O. -106 INDIANA AVE.

Browder, since 1930 general secre- tary of the party, to all intents and purposes assumed its leadership after convention tumultously approved his keynote address yesterday. Browder called for determined par- ticipation in the national presidential campaign and an unrelenting fight on both major parties. The Republicans, he said, must be stopped at all costs as the chief ex- ponents of Fascism. The Democrats, he added, must be attacked all along the line to force the New Deal as far as possible to the left. “To support Roosevelt,” he said, “is to invite his further reaction. He fights reaction only to the degree nec- essary to hold the left.” In broad outline, he indicated, the platform will be based on the following planks: 1. Consolidation and extension of so- cial and labor legislation, with min- imum standard of living guaranteed. 2. Immediate balancing of the budget at the expense of the rich. 3. A curb on the power of the Bu- preme Court. 4. A pledge to keep America out of war. — 250,000 Women Play Golf. Nearly 250,000 women in Britain are playing golf.

Standing in the center of the group in the camp grounds in Potomac Park, Dr. C. W. Warburton, director of extension in the Department of Agriculture, held a large flaming candle. OCarol Vinton of Iowa and Raphael Brandeit of South Dakota stepped forward and lighted their own candles from that of Dr. Warburton. ‘The ceremony was not concluded un- til Miss Vinton and Brandeit with candles aflame lighted candles in the hand of every delegate. Following the candle-lighting, they presented in pantomime a play sym- bolizing the four H's—head, hand, heart end health. ‘The 4-H group officially disbanded at 10 pm., but the camp was kept open last night to accommodate those who did not board late trains for home.
