Bright, jr.; Francis Lans- dale and James Anderson, three boys who have been beneficiaries of the Washington Kiwanis Club's interest in crippled children, were honor guests at the 14th annual Underprivileged Child day luncheon of the organization at the Mayflower Hotel yesterday. The youngsters attended in the role of living examples of the efficiency of the organization’s effort to help handi- ,cupped youth—a social enterprise in which, it was said, more than $50,000 has been spent. All three of the boys were speakers on the luncheon program. They were j presented by Robert F. Fleming, chair- /man of the committee in charge of the child welfare work of the club. Others participating included Dr. Cus- tis Lee Hall, Dr. Charles C. Daniel, Bynum E. Hinton and J. Prank Kelley.

Observers, however, noted their ac- eord on the urgency of British rearm- ament and believed the duel had cleared the air of bitter interparty strife. Inquiry Suggested. Churchill, arraigning the govern- ment, charged Britain never had been more imperiled “since the U-boat campaign was crushed.” He told the House of Commons it should demand a parliamentary inquiry into what he described as neglect of the na- tional defense. “1 have been staggered by the fail- ure of the House to react effectively against these dangers,” Churchill as- serted.

Baldwin Rebukes Commons. Prefacing his speech with the warn- | ing he would talk with “appalling frankness,” Baldwin rebuked the Commons and the nation for opposi- tion which, he said, prevented Brit- | ain from getting an early start in the European rearmament race. | But now, he declared, though de- mocracies are two years behind dic- | tatorships, they have a unity of pur- | pose nothing can break. | “There can be no peace in Europe | unless every country knows we are prepared for war,” the Prime Min- | ister contended. “I will always trust | the instincts of our democratic peo- | ple although they may come a little late.” CONFERENCE PLANNED | BY CATHOLIC ALUMNAE Rev.
