13T REVIEW SET BYGAR. VETERANS Parade September 23 to Open Week’s Meeting in Capital. BY JOHN J. DALY. On Wednesday afternoon, May 24, 7865, W. D. Wallach. =ditor and pro- prietor of The Evening Star, sat in his sanctum sanctorum and painted a pen picture of what took place outside the window—on Penn’s avenue. The Grand Armies of the Potomac and of Tennessee and of Georgia ‘were on that day, and the day before, marching 150,000 strong in their grand review before the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson. Mr. Wallach stated: “As we write, the Grand Armies of Maj. Gen. Sherman are passing by our windows and are receiving the plaudits due to their great services. As they pass on in steady column, bronzed and worn, and bearing their battle-torn flags, the breast swells (as on yester- day, when their brother patriot sol- diers of the Army of the Potomac passed over the same ground) in rec- ognition of what the country owes to them now and in all coming time.” Extra Trains Required. As the news stories described it, extra trains came into the city day after day, each carrying 1,000 persons —where the usual load was only 300. Bteamers from Alexandria, loaded to the gunwales, added to the visitor's list. Wagon teams poured in over the country roads—until there was no room for many travelers in the inns, the taverns, the dwelling places. Now, 71 years later, the Boys in Blue are coming back again—for an- other grand review. There won't be s0 many of them this time, for the old ranks are thin- ning out. But while there's a leg left to stand on, some of these old war- riors are going to parade. About 900 of the veterans of the | Grand Army are coming to Washing- ton September 20-26 for the seventy- first grand review. Their average | age is 92 years and, while most of | them will not march, they will be in | the parade, reliving the days of the first grand parade, when their average age was only 22 years and they were young and home from the wars, Parade Is Scheduled. ‘The parade—the grand review of 1936—will be held on Wednesday morning, September 23, starting at 10 am, from the corner of Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue and ending after the veterans have passed a reviewing stand in front of the White House. President Roosevelt, they hope, will be there to see them B0 by, as President Johnson watched them go by 71 years ago. Mrs. K. P. McElroy, chairman of the Woman'’s Citizen Committee, ap- pointed by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, said today that an entire week of festivities will be arranged for the veterans. Members of the committee will meet tomorrow night in the Mun- sey Building to make final plans for the coming civic reception. All churches of the city have planned some sort of services for Sunday, September 20, the day most of the former soldiers- arrive. elaborate ceremony is planned at the National Cathedral, Mount St. Albans.

In An | Judge Lindsey Scores Astor Custody Fight JUDGE BEN LINDSEY. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 15.— Superior Judge Ben Lindsey's sharp criticism of the custody fight for Mary Astor’s daughter as “a public scan- dal” was joined today with his plea for new State laws to protect “the rights of childhood.” The little, gray-haired jurist, a dynamic figure for years in Denver juvenile welfare work, gave his views on recent custody cases in deciding | yesterday the guardianship of Jean Marie Stehula, 13. Denying a habeas corpus writ filed by the girls’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Stehula of Beverly Hills, Judge Lindsey held Mrs. Mary | Walters, her aunt, was her “real” | mother. “In each of the cases of Freddie Bartholomew, juvenile screen actor, and Jean Marie Stehula,” read the court’s opinion, “almost identical in their facts as to the law applicable, both mothers were guilty of ‘abandon- ment’ and by their conduct became | ‘unfit’ and ‘incompetent.’ " ‘The recent court dispute between Mary Astor, film actress, and her di- vorced husband, Dr. Franklyn Thorpe, for the custody of their 4-year-old | daughter was described by Judge Lind- | sey as “a public scandal and an out- rage against the rights of childhood and parenthood that should not be permitted in this State.” Man Shot to Death. BOGUE, N. C., September 15 (#).— W. Furney Taylor, 80, was found shot to death at his home here yesterday. Both loads from a double-barreled shotgun entered his head. Coroner George W. Dill said it was | & plain case of suicide. — | the upper left-hand corner of the | cachet 1is a reproduction of the little bronze button worn only by the G. A. R. On the upper right-hand corner | there is a camp fire. The bronze button from which the design was | made for this cachet was that worn by the late Col. John McElroy, na- tionally known editor of the old Na- tional Tribune, the G. A. R.'s news- paper. Across the top of the cachet is the lettering, “The 70th National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic—September 20-26.” Un- derneath the Lincoln Memorial de- sign is the slogan, “The Nation's Cap- 1tal Welcomes the Grand Review.” If Your Watch Is Worth Repairing =it Is worth repalring pro} You are sure of expert :l manship and falr prices hers.

C, G.AR REVIEWING STAND APPROVED Commissioners Authorize $1,900 for Seats in Front of White House. Plans for the seventieth annual en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will open here Bun- day and continue throughout next week, were further advanced today with the partial approval of a con- tract for a reviewing stand in front of the White House, from which high ranking officers will review the parade. Final award is in the hands of a committee headed by C. Marshall Finnan, but official sanction to spend $1,900 for the temporary struc- ture was given yesterday by the Dis- trict Commissioners. The Commis- sioners are charged with responsibil- ity for the $15,000 appropriation made for the reunion by Congress. Meanwhile, auxillary organizations of the G. A. R. continued to work out details for their own sessions Which will be held concurrently with the reunion of the veterans. Efforts will be made, it was an- nounced, to have school authorities dismiss public school classes Wednes- day for the parade, which will be the high spot of the encampment. No formal application for the special hol- iday had been made ‘today, but it was expected to be filed before the Board of Education meets tomorrow. At the same time, the Women's Re- lief Corps and the Daughters of the G. A. R. also were hopeful that Gov- ernment departments would close for the march. The parade will assemble on Twelfth street and proceed up Pennsylvania avenue past the White House to Sev- enteenth street. MAN HELD AS FUGITIVE Walter G. Minnicks, who police said is wanted in New Jersey in con- nection with alleged embezzlement of $8,000 in a real estate deal, was ar- raigned in Police Court yesterday and ordered held under $10,000 bond pend- ing an extradition hearing next month. Minnicks was arrested on a fugitive warrant issued by New Jersey authorities. DR. MARVIN URGES RULE OF REASON === 6. W. U. President, in Ad- dress to Faculty, Warns of Radicalism. A sane, unemotional approach to world problems was urged last night by Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of George Washington University, in & talk to 400 members of the faculty. Addressing faculty veterans as well as to 29 new instructors, Dr. Marvin called for “a leadership of reason.” This, he declared, will thwart the en- croachment in this country “of any order such as the Communism or Fascism we see operating in Europe and elsewhere.” The faculty meeting held in Cor- coran Hall, was the first of the ac- ademic year, beginning with regis- tration next Saturday and classes the following Wednesday. “Your powers of mind are needed to- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1936. day as never before in history,” Dr. Marvin told his subordinates. He urged them -“not to become tainted by a depressing and barren skepticism, nor to be discouraged by the sadness of hours through which nations are “We must constantly have in mind,” he continued, “that fascism.and com- munism are common foes of a demo= cratic society and we should be equally unsympathetic with either. “Never has there been a time in the history of the world when leaders have so used the emotions of men against the development of mankind. ‘Where this is true, there is no free- dom, for freedom can be had only under a government of reason. “There is no reason why we can- not lay aside the emotional elements that are so befogging the world today and think things through together.” Sales Tax Gets $11,160,000.
