A—8 ¥» BOARD OF TRADE HONDRS.5 SHITH Accomplishments in Public Order Post Win Praise at Testimonial. District officials joined with mem- bers of the Board of Trade last night to pay tribute to a man whose out- standing record in civic service stands unequaled in the history of the trade organization. From the moment the strains of “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow” rang out through the Mayflower Hotel garden, the evening belonged to Odell 8. Smith. The occasion was a testi- monial dinner given in Smith’s honor in recognition of his recent appoint- ment for the twenty-fifth consecutive year as chairman of the Public Order Committee of the Board of Trade. More than a dozen speakers praised Bmith's ability and accomplishments during his long service with the trade board, dating back to early in the century. Some presented him with tokens of esteem. After it was all over, Smith, visibly affected by the tribute paid him, arose and said: “The thing that stands out in m mind, as I look back over the years, 1s the kindliness which I have found in you fellows—a kindliness that money can’t buy. Scouts Retirement Idea. “But don't get the idea I'm getting ready to retire. I'll be 75 next March, but I feel just as young as I did at 16" Police Chief Ernest W. Brown started the proceedings by present- ing Smith with a huge Metropolitan Police Badge of Honor. He said Smith has made a great contribution to the citizens of the Capital through | his service as chairman of the Public Order Committee, which handles police and flre department civic problems. Smith got a big “kick” out of the book on “How to Become a Detective,” which John Saul, a past president, presented him on behalf of Inspector Bernard W. Thompson, chief of de- tectives, and the toy steamboat pre- sented by Charles H. Bates, a member of Smith's committee. Claude Owen, another former presi- dent, gave Smith a basket of flowers for his wife. Joseph A. Burkhart, chairman of the dinner committee, who presided, reviewed Smith's ac- complishments, saying he was “cap- able and ~illing in a manner scarce! ever equaled in the board’s history The guest also was made an honor- ary member of the Metropolitan Police Association by Detective Sergt. John C. Dalglish, who presented him with a gold-inscribed membership card. House Chaplain Praises Work. Rev. Dr. Joseph Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the House of Representa- tives, sald Smith was one of his first friends when he came to Washington more than 25 years ago. “He always has been more interested in making life than in making & Uving,” he said. A silver punch bowl], ladle and tray was given Smith by Edward F. Colla- day, board president, on behalf of | 8mith's committee. The Membership Committee, to which Smith was elected in 1911—about two years before he assumed chairmanship of the Public Order unit—joined in giving | the testimonial dinner. In keeping with the occasion, the @ Marion Mitchell of Rock Island, Illinois, was graduated with honors from Bryn Maur in'34."Our Elgin tradi- tion traces back three generations,” she says at the right. 25 Years’ Service Acclaimed The Board of Trade last night was joined by District officials in honoring Odell S.

The Third International, centered in Moscow, but including Communist parties in all countries, was estab- lished in 1919 when dissidents broke away from ‘he old Socialist Interna- tional. The two groups have been con- stantly at odds, but on June 4 the Communist organization proposed that they forget their differences for the moment to join “against German and Italian intervention in Spain.” The 8ociallst International's reply, made public June 8, admitted the “necessity of energetic action,” but said the chairman nor the secretary of the International had the authority to arrange such co-operation. 32,000 Cattle Brands.
