Two hundred delegates from Catho- | lic colleges and high schools of the | District participated yesterday in the | convention of the Catholic youth of | ‘Washington, held at Georgetown Uni- versity. The students reiterated their de- termination to resist communism and atheism through radio programs and parish group discussions and discussed the Supreme Court reorganization issue, the child labor amendment, sit-down strikes, co-operatives and other topics. The principal speakers were Rev. Francis P. Le Buffe, S. J., New York, business manager of America and or- ganizer of the sodalites in the East- ern States, whose subject was “We Do Not Always Act as Catholics,” and Rev. George A. McDonald, S. J,, St. Louis. Rev. Arthur J. O'Leary, 8. J., president of Georgetown Uni- versity, delivered the invocation. 2 Human Rights Defended. Catholic youth, said Father Le | Buffe, both as Catholics and Amer- | icans, is vitally interestec in the | Preservation of human rights under the Constitution and should oppose | the child labor amendment on the | ground it would give the Federal Gov- | emment control in industry of all individuals under 18 years of age. “All bills that make for centraliza- | tion at Washington,” he said, “we | consider as un-American and they should be opposed as such. “We do not always act as Catholics | because we do not have a Catholic attitude. But first of all, what is an attitude? It means the way a man views things. It implies his judg- ments on life, on situations in life, health, wealth, honor, on the moral problems of life,” Father Le Buffe said. Co-operative Advantages. Pather McDonald urged on the group a study of the co-operative movement and several factors he held up.as its acvantages. He offered the movement as the “Way Out of Our Economic Ills,” the subject of his address. | Since the National Sodality stu- dent convention in 1935, Father Mc- Donald said, “more than 35 uni- Vversities, colleges and high schools have reported that there exist on the campuses, study clubs, forums, sym- | “ posia, courses on co-operatives and‘ credit unions and in many instances co-operative enterprises from co-op- erative buying clubs to co-operative stores, cafeterias and dormitories.” CIVIL SERVIGE UNIT OFFERS NEW TESTS Applications for Large Group to | Be Received Till May 10 and 15, It Is Announced.

WARNED OF IMPOSTERS Public Told How to Tell Authen- tic Salvation Army Trucks. A warning that imposters are solicit- ing discarded material and newspapers in the name of the Salvation Army was broadcast yesterday by Adjt. Al- | bert E. Baldwin, in charge of the organization's Social Service Center. Baldwin pointed out that Salvation Army trucks and wagons used in col- lecting discarded materials can be readily identified by the red shield which they carry. He said funds raised through salvaging discarded materials are used to supply 100 needy persons with work, food and shelter, veiling of three portraits, those of | g Mrs. Mary G. Wilkinson, who founded the home in 1887 and was its first president; Miss Bessie R. Kibbey, who in 1892 contributed her grandfather’s | mansion at 311 C street as a new loca- tion for the home, and Mrs. Flora | M. Thompson, whose trust of $250,- 000, left upon her death in 1931, financed construction of the present building. A grandson, Edgar B. Laferty of Los Angeles, who will attend the cere- monies at the invitation of the home’s Board of Trustees, will unveil thel portrait of Mrs. Wilkinson. The home was founded when Mrs. | Wilkinson realized there was an urgent need for an institution where girls could live under protection and care. The first Young Women's Christian Home was established when Mrs. Wilkinson set aside two rooms in her own home at 232 C street and took in two girls following her daugh- ter's death. The two rooms were outgrown in 1890 and a house was rented at 404 Sixth street to make room for between 25 and 30 girls.
