4 Major Objectives on
Program in
'37 Session;
Backed by Indiana Group
Strengthened Merit Laws, - Neutrality Among Objectives.
Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—With the opening of the Seventy-fifth Congress today the National League of Women Voters is to work toward passage of its “Big Four” legislative ‘| program. As announced’ today by -Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, first vice president and. legislative chairman, the “Big Four” includes improvements in the meric system for public appoint{ments, a strengthened food-drug-{cosmetic regulatory measure, a continuation- of the reciprocal trade agreements program and neutrality legislation. In: continuing its drive against ithe patronage system, Mrs. Baldwin declared the league is to support several specific methods for improving the Federal civil service. “Principally, the league will work to make the postal service a ‘career service’ by placing all postmasters in the competitive classified service,” Mrs. Baldwin said. “Such legislation will: make permanent and extend the gains made last summer by a Presidential executive order affecting’ postmasters. "| “The league also will urge Congressional action for Presidential authorization to extend the application of the merit system to the many emergency agencies which ‘were exempted from the merit. sys-
tem in the laws creating them. As|
they became permanent, the employes: ‘in these agencies should be under civil service.
* Back Neutrality Bills
“The league will support neutrality legislation which will not obstruct. the efforts of other countries to maintain peace. The provisions of such legislation must be sufficiently flexible to allow the President to apply them for the best interests of this country.” The league's ‘support of a new '* food, drug ana cosmetic bill is based on its belief that the consumer deserves greater protection, Mrs. Baldwin declared.” Many features of. the 1906 Act do not’ pro-| tect the buying punlie, she said. The ‘league is in favor of ‘“downward revision: of tariffs by reciprocal trade agreements,” as ‘a step toward removing economic friction ‘between nations” and “as a direct
-+ aid to consumers.”

Nation's Welfare Gives Women Opportunity, Mrs. Hahn Says
1. “The welfare of distressed citizens, the character and the welfare: of:
the nation itself offer new opportunities, new responsibilities to women,” according to Mrs. Oscar W. Hahn; nationa: American Legicn Auxiliary ‘president.
Mrs. Hahn addressed the Indian--
apolis Council of Women's meeting today in Ayres’ Auditorium. The meeting was designated as American Legion Day and members of the Hayward Barcus Unit ' were hoshs esses. Mrs. Hahn is in the city to pian the National Defense Conference to be held in Washington Jan. 26 through 28. The national defense program of both the legion and the auxiliary were outlined by the speaker: Neutrality, universal service act and national defense requirements. “We hope to have the service act passed in Congress this year,” Mrs. Hahn said. “The measure proposes distribution of war burdens over all America during the time of conflict rather than concentration on the men at the front.” The neutrality program follows the program the U. S. Government
is advancing today:
Alice Roosevelt Longworth
Attends Party
} By Scripps-Howard News Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Alice Roosevelt Longworth just couldn’t stay away from the first formal White House reception of 1937, and thereby hangs a tale. Of course, according to the Washington social code, Princess Alice had every right to an invitation along with the diplomatic set, but so the story goes, she could have skipped. it without hurting any feelings. : During the last year Mrs. Longworth said . some pretty _ violent things in nh rsation and in print about the reigning Roosevalts. And

Stammel, secretary; Mrs. Josephine Wishmier, treasurer; Mrs. Ida Wilson, conductress; Mrs. Bessie Wikoff, associate conductress; Mrs. Lulu Lammert, chaplain; Miss Mde Judkins, Mrs. Mamie J.

at White House
she was seen and heard at various Landon rallies. All this did not sit so well with the President’s family, especially in view of the fact that Mrs. Longworth was a relative and had apparently been happy to accept White House invitations in the past. Washington society watched with increasing interest. A “blow-off” was expected after. the November election. The situation, according to a well-informed source, was saved by the First Lady herself, who resisted demands for Mrs. Longworth’s scalp. So, when invitations were issued for the first formal reception of the year, Princess Alice got one. Close friends said she was undecided for several days whether to accept. This hesitancy was brought about, they
say, by a polite and friendly mes-.
sage from the First Lady. Mrs. Roosevelt said to Mrs. Longworth, so the story goes, that she would be very happy to have her present at the reception but that if
Alice felt uncomfortable in the com- |
pany of the President and his family they would understand perfectly a nonacceptance of the invitation. Alice declined to’ take the hint. She was among the first arrivals at the White House Saturday night,
Guild Presents Bed to Hospital

Discouraging
of policies which may involve America in dangerous situations. “When the national defense program is finished; when the naval program to maintain- the Army at 165,000 men with adequate reserves and a * modernized air: force, are realized, then we will be content that America will be strengthened enough to make acis of aggression unlikely,” she said. Albert E. Dickens statistician for the Indiana civision of accounting and statistics, talked on Finances and Your Finances.” “In order to secure a proper balance between our finances and public finances, not only must we concern ourselves with the manner in which the tax burden is distributed, but we must acquaint ourselves also with the amount and character of public expenditures. It lollows, that for each dollar spent by a governmenial agency, a corresponding dollar must be raised among the citizenry,” he said. “The intelligent ‘citizen realizes that in general he receives governmental services in ‘due proportion to his tax bill. Ruefully it must be said that most of our ill-spent public funds could have been saved except for the apathy and indifference of the citizens generally, 5 ie “Because governnicnt is a part of
our civilized existence and must be |
kept on the same plane as our social, political and economic structure, the costs must increase. But government ‘cost must be kept within the limits of ability to pay, and the state must always be the servant of the people, not the master.”
Dr. Verne Harvey, State Board of Health secretary, spoke on the control of social diseases; which is one of the Council's platforms. “Public interest must be stirred up on the subject, for these diseases kill and cripple thousands annually and more than. a half million new cases appear each year. Syphilis shoulds be combated by nonofficial groups as well as official health departments.” He outlined resolutions at the national conference on social diseases in Washington, among which were requests for more adequate facilities for treatment, more liberal literature on the subject and added funds for treatment and equipment. im

Rare Colors Are Used in Todd Home
Colonial Dwellings Were Pattern for Interior Wall Shades.
By BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor ATCHING the outcome of mixing paint colors was as ex-
«citing for Mrs. Herbert Todd as . changing the patterns in her first i kaleidoscope.
Just as she thought that one more . tilt of the kaleidoscope would make the design she imagined would be a perfect assembly of the bits of col-
sored glass, so she thought that a
little more of one color of paint would blend into the shade she
| wanted.
Mrs. Todd worked for hours with a painter to hit upon the exact col-
{ors she wanted for the wall dec-

Mrs. Todd had antique furniture around whiclkp she wanted to build a home, preferably Colonial style. {She and Mr, Todd visited WilliamsHburg, Va. restored by John D. | Rockefeller to its original state when the colonists settled there. She went to Richmond and Charlottesville to study the interiors of ‘typical Colonial town houses, which ‘proved to be in the style she preferred. In the ballroom at Nichie tavern near Charlottesville she discovered a sray-green shade which she copied for a guest room. In a home which
