CLUB TO REBUILD
threat of Future Potomac
Floods Defied by
Organization.
Sycamore Island Club canoeists
long have boasted they were masters
of the swift water of the Potomac
above Chain Bridge, but they are a
somewhat chastened lot since a 10
foot wall of water from their beloved
river swept over their island retreat
during the recent flood.
Confronted with the worst flood
disaster in the 51-year-old history of
the club, its officials have decided to
defy the threat of future Potomac
...freshets by re
building at once
on their pictur
esque island near
Glen Echo.
Dr. Horace
Custis. Depart
ment of Agricul
ture scientist, is
president of the
club. Robert R.
Henley is vice
president; Rodger
ID. Gessford, pat
ent attorney, is
secretary, and
Or. Horace Custis. -"TT*"’ “
countant, is treas
urer.
Damage estimated at $20,000 or
more was inflicted on Sycamore Island
by the flood, according to reports of
a survey just completed. The ram
bling. rustic club house which stood
on an eminence in the center of the
Island was washed away and de
molished. A nearby canoe house and
*75 of its 80 canoes were destroyed.
Nearly a dozen cottages were wrecked.
Recreational grounds for tennis and
other sports were ruined.
Ferryboat Being Salvaged.
The manually operated cable ferry
boat, sole means of transportation
from the canal shore to the island,
was damaged, but is being salvaged.
The club's privately-owned iron bridge
across the canal was partly submerged
by the torrent, but withstood the
strain. The club's piano, a complete
wreck, was found near Chain Bridge.
Except for 1889, the river has been
kind to Sycamore Island's club mem
‘ hers, who include business and pro
fessional meq in public and private
life, with their wives.
Organized in 1885 as the Syca
more Island Pleasure Club by a
group of Washngtonians of German
extraction, the club originally catered
to fishermen who ferried kegs of beer
over to the island for week-end "stag'’
parties. Most of the members went
from Georgetown by steamer on the
* C & O. Canal to the ferry landing.
The club was reorganized in 1914
to admit women and ban intoxi
cants. and since that time the island
has been a "family'' rendezvous. Ca
noeing. swimming, tennis and base
ball are the principal sports.
Hit by Flood in '89.
The club received its first setback
from the river when the big '89 flood
shifted the old club house to one
end of the island. The structure was
not seriously damaged, however, and
was moved back to its foundations,
Subsequent floods had inundated
lower parts of the island, but had
failed to reach the main club house
until this year.
At a meeting of the Executive
Committee and some of the older
members of the club last week, it was
decided to have plans drawn at once
for the first unit of a new club house,
to contain a club room, dining room,
kitchen and locker facilities. A dike
will be built at the upstream end of
the island to curb small floods and
Impede big ones.
It is expected the new club house
will be ready for occupancy this Sum
mer. Work of clearing the island of
debris already has begun. The club
also owns a nearby island, upstream,
known as Upper Sycamore Island.

This Changing World
Jitters Still Gripping Europe After Remilitarization of
the Rhigeland—Danger of Immediate
Conflict Over.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
EUROPE still is in the grip of Its
latest attack of jitters, caused
by Hitler's remilitarization of
the Rhineland.
The danger of immediate conflict Is
now over, since public opinion in Great
Britain has shown it would not allow
its rulers to draw the empire into war
because Hitler has brought heavy rein
forcements in the Rhineland.
me rsrmsn are nui ranuuriaurc
about the Reich, and should Hitler be
so ill-advised—which he won't—as to
attack France or Belgium, there is no
doubt the British would march like
one man to defend these two countries.
When Anthony Eden made an
emphatic statement to this effect
he knew he would have the support
of a great majority of his coun
trymen.
But this was an easy declaration to
make and the British government was
really running no risks when its
spokesman made it. As a matter of
fact, Hitler was told beforehand what
the official declaration of the British
government • would be, and he could
offer no criticism.
* * sk 4c
Diplomatic observers believe there
will be a period of comparative quiet
in Europe for the next few weeks.
The French government is now
concerned with the new elections.
The Sarraut administration is a
stop-gap cabinet and will get out
as soon as the elections are over.
It is probable that Edouard Herriot
will be the next French premier, sup
ported. for a while at least, by all
political parties.
* * * *
Meanwhile. Germany will continue
her war preparations Hitler can do
nothing else. He must keep going
for reason of domestic and foreign
policy.
Should he slow down the present
military pace, he will be confronted,
again with the unemployment prob
lem. and the enthusiasm of his sup
porters may weaken when they
have to walk the streets in search
Of work.
On the other hand, the slightest
sign of weakness, such as discontent
in the Reich because of increased un
employment, or tht «k»ckenlng of the
armament pace because cf the lack of
funds, would encourage hia powerful
enemies from outside. And since the
question of remilitarization of the
Rhineland has not received official
solution, he risks seeing his entire work
destroyed in no time. A weak Ger
many would no longer inspire fear,
and even the British public might
change its mind about fair play if the
Reich gives the impression of no longer
having a formidable war machine.
During this truce, which diplomats
forecast will last some time, the war
preparations will continue at top
speed.
British employers are showing
themselves public spirited. Great
Britain needs 40.000 more men lor
the militia.
Lord Rothermere. one of the promi
nent London publishers, has just in
formed the war department that he
would allow his employes to go into
training camps for as long a dura
tion as the war department needed
! them, without prejudice to their
salaries or their regular holidays.
* * * *
The only gypping we suffered in the
j new naval treaty, which was signed
Wednesday, is that the British and
€/4
^PbO
. aC'A<n '
Jd
French have stolen the march on us
regarding auxiliary vessels—merchant
men—which cannot be equipped for
actual naval warfare.
The new treaty reiterates the provi
sion that “No preparations shall be
made in merchant ships in time of
peace * * * for the purpose of con
verting such ships into vessels of
war. * * *”
The French government has the
Normandie, a 73.000-ton trans-Atlantic
liner, which has been constructed in
i such a manner that she can be trans
i formed into an efficient airplane car
: rier or into a possible powerful cruiser.
The Queen Mary, which has
just been launched at Glasgow is
equally built so as to be trans
formed into a powerful auxiliary of
the British Navy in case of war.
The German liners, the Bremen
and the Europa and the Italian Rex
have been designed for the same
purpose.
None of the present American
merchantmen can be of any fighting
use for the United States Navy and
if some superliner is built in the iu
ture in American yards, she will have
to comply with new treaty regula
tions, regarding deck protection and
gun replacements.
Lecture
(Continued From First Page.)
officers and members of the medical
and dental societies of the District
of Columbia. Rev. David V. MacCau
ley. S. J., regent of medicine and den
tisty, was in charge of arrangements.
Capt. Johnson preceded his discus
sion of plastic and maxillo-facial sur
gery with a personal tribute to the late
Dr. Kober, ex-Army surgeon and hon
orary life member of the Association of
Military Surgeons.
“A man both good and great, his
beneficent influence will long be felt
and the memory of Dr. Kober will
flourish far beyond our times,” he said.
While discussing plastic surgery in
relation to past and future wars, Capt.
Johnson dealt with its early history as
well as modern tendencies, and con
cluded by offering some pertinent ad
vice to young surgeons out to make a
reputation in that field of medical
science.
This advice was:
“Do not practice your specialty on
friends or associates.
“'Beware of homophiliafs.
“Always keep the premiums on your
malpractice insurance paid well in ad
vance.
"Practice plastic surgery as one of a
group and affiliate with the Reserves of
the Army or Navy.”
“Cauliflower" Ears Chance.
Opportunity to build a reputation
and gain at the same time an appre
ciative clientele is offered to young
surgeons, he suggested, in the “cauli
flower” ears dreaded so much by pugi
lists.
“I suggest that you pass the word
among the orderlies and other hospital
employes, that you can prevent tin ears
if you see the patient during the first
24 hours after injury and can greatly
improve them after they have reached
the contracted stage,” he said.
The science of plastic surgery is re
corded. Capt. Johnson explained. 2.000
to p,500 years before Christ. Both the
Ebers papyrus and the Hindu Vedas,
he said, contain descriptions of plastic
operations similar to those in use to
day. *
“Plastic surgery is a strange entity.”
he added. “There is no agreement
as to its limitations. Those who prac
tice it contend that its field is from
the scalp to the soles of the feet, but
general surgeons resist the encroach
ments.
“‘It merges imperceptlbillty with
maxille-facial surgery on the right and
4
into the more dubious torms oi cos
metic surgery on the left. All othei
surgical specialties are outgrowth!
from it, for the most ancient surgerj
on record was the removal of arrow;
from the limbs by counter incisions
clearly a plastic procedure.
"It has more than once been thi
monopoly of priests, but now- it 11
practiced by the M. D.'s by D. D. S.’i
and by a whole horde of nondescripts
whose advertisements fill the newspa
pers. Its greatest value frequently lie!
not at all in restoration of function:
but in the return of the patient's self
esteem."
Results of Deformities.
In the latter connection, Capt. John
son said mutilations and deformitie:
give ruse to a feeling of inferiority am
this, in turn, produces defense reac
tions which materially reduce the hap
piness and usefulness of the victim':
life. For this reason, he stressed
psychic treatment of the patients ha:
become very important.
The idea of segregating such pa
tients in hospitals for their own men
tal good he attributed to the studie:
of World War victims of mut-ilatior
and the system of segregation inaugu
rated by Maj. H. D. Gillies, R. A
M. C., now Sir Harold Gillies.
The plastic surgeon in his line ol
work, he said, "needs to be something
of a philosopher, a bit of a psychia
trist, and always on the watch foi
hemophiliacs,” meaning patients who
bleed profusively.
The amazing growth of plastic and
maxillo-facial surgery during the
World War was marked, he said, by
the development of two great organi
zations. the Queen's Hospital at Sid
coup. England, and the Maxillo-facial
service of the medical department of
the United States Army.
"There were developed.” he said,
"the principles upon which the organi
zation for plastic surgery in our next
war will probably be built.”
Harmony in mobilizing for the next
war will come sooner in the fields of
surgery and dentistry, he claimed, be
cause the practitioners of these spe
1 cialties will carry on their usual work
and soon become adjusted to military
| conditions.
Co-operation Needed.
However, he warned: "In the middle
ground of plastic of maxillo-facial
surgery, we must expect greater dif
ficulty. for here the surgeons and
| dentists must learn to work together
i and give full measure of consideration
to each other's opinions and abilities.
| "We must anticipate that, when the
! next war comes, there will be an im
mediate demand for plastic surgery
j croups and for a plan of organiza
! tion to care for the mutilated victims.
The inevitable sin. in any military
or naval emergency, Is to be caught
unprepared.
"The reserve organization of both
! the Army and the Navy provide for
plastic surgery groups, formed to work
| together in various universities and
hospitals, and harmonized in advance,
so that friction will be reduced to a
minimum when they are assembled
and put to work.”
"We would like to see every man
who Is interested in this work a mem
ber of one of these groups.”

MOTHER DENIES
Second Murder Charge Is
Received Calmly After
Body Exhumed.
By the Associated Press.
GREENVILLE, Tex., March 28—A
calm, terse, denial was Mrs. Velma
Patterson’s response tonight to charges
of the poison murder of her two small
daughters.
The 34-year-old brunette was ac
cused formally today of poisoning her
12-year-old daughter Dorothy, who
died last month.
A chemist’s report said poison found
in the child’s viscera after the body
was exhumed was Identical to that
present in another daughter. Billie
Fae. 11, who died in January. Mrs.
Patterson was charged with poisoning
Billie Fae last week.
8he received notice of the second
murder charge with the same outward
indifference that has characterized
her actions since her arrest.
Intestinal influenza was given as the
cause of death at the time the little
girls died, but Hunt County investi
gators unsatisfied with the death re
ports, exhumed the two small bodies
and sent them to Dr. Landon C.
Moore in Dallas for examination.
Billie Fae and Dorothy were Mrs.
Patterson’s children by her first hus
band, Dester McCasland, whom she
divorced while he was in prison serv
ing sentence for a liquor law violation.
She married Bill Patterson, who died
at their Commerce. Tex., home last
September. Authorities said they did
not plan an investigation of his death.
Mrs. Patterson’s trial on the murder
charge in Billie Fae's death is set for
April 13. She is held without bond, i

Taxes
(Continued From First Page.1
processing taxes, many members re
garding it a touchy subject in an
election year.
Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of
internal revenue, has been called as
the first witness at the tax hearings.
Twoscore of applications for per
mission to testify already have been
received. Prominent among those
applying are the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States and the
National Association of Manufacturers.
In addition to the tax hearings, the
House has plenty of work before it for
this week. It planned to pass an
appropriation bil for the State. Com
merce, Justice and Labor Departments.
It also was scheduled to act tomorrow
on a Senate-approved bill to increase
the capital of the Commodity Credit
Corp. from $3,000,000 to $97,000,000.
In seven appropriation bills passed
thus far by the House, it has adhered
i closely to budget estimates. The Sen
ate, however, has added $159,000,000
to the War, Interior and Agriculture
Department supply measures. An op
portunity to trim the increases will
come later in conference between the
two houses.
Rates Made to Deceive.
Lamneck told reporters that under
the corporation tax proposal, the ‘ rates
are made to deceive." that they would
“socle" corporations that are trying to
"save their necks and build up im
paired capital." and destroy the sound
business principle of building up re
serves that would enable a corporation
to do Its owti banking.
As he spoke, the telephone in his of
fice rang. After talking a few mo
; ments, he said:
"That was a big corporation in Pitts
burgh that earned $11,000,000 last year.
"They paid out $3,233,000 in divi
dends, put $6,000,000 into new plant
equipment, and tucked the rest into
surplus. Under the present system,
they would pay $1,915,000 in taxes and
! under the new $4,732,000.”
Lamneck added he had talked with
an official of a big railroad company
and was convinced the proposed tax
program would mean the laying off of
many railroad workers.
"This road,” he said, "has a policy
of putting $1 in dividends and $1 to
match it in improvements. Their taxes
would be Increased 100 per cent, and
if they continue their present policy
of putting money in dividends, they
will have nothing left for improve
ments, and if they use the money for
Improvement*, there will be no divi
iends.”
Senate to Begin Work.
Meanwhile. Senate Democratic
leaders, realizing that the disposition
)f tax legislation and relief appropria
;ions furnish the key to early adjourn
ment, have decided to begin work on
the tax bill before it is completed in
the House.
By this procedure. Chairman Har
rison of the Finance Committee ex
pects to lay a bill before the Senate
not long after it has been passed by
the House, and at the same time be
in position to recommend a revenue
raising program more in line with the
Senate’s present spending tendency
than indicated by the measure likely
to be passed by the House.
In this course, Senator Harrison
has been moved by two developments:
first, the letter from President Roose
velt warning against the steady course
of the Senate in disregarding budget
estimates and, second, the growing
suspicion that the tax program as
developed by the House subcommittee
will not yield as much as estimated.
Harrison intends to explore all reve
nue sources to provide new funds,
needed to close the gap caused by the
invalidation of the A. A. A. processing
taxes, to pay the veterans’ bonus and
to meet the propensity of the Senate
to hike the appropriation measures as
fast as they come from the House.
TUBERCULOSIS DRIVE1
TO BROOK NO DELAY
Association to Push Campaign
Without Waiting on Health
Budget.
Without waiting for the decision of
Congress as to the pending health!
budget for Washington, the Tubercu
losis Association announced last night
its purpose to go ahead with plans for
its "early diagnosis campaign" from
April 1 to May 1.
Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, however,
wished it understood that the eflec- j
tiveness of the essential educational
work would be largely lost unless funds
are made available by Congress to
enable the District government to
supply the necessary hospital, nursing
and other public health services.
Dr. A. Barklie Coulter, director of
the Tuberculosis Bureau of the Health
Department, has consented to serve as
chairman of a Speakers’ Bureau
which will furnish capable tuberculosis
specialists to address meetings during
the campaign.
The national slogan for the cam
paign is "Fight Tuberculosis With
Modern Weapons.” Expenses of the
campaign will be met by drawing on
funds from the sale of Christmas
seals.
Specil May day activities for health
will include, it was said, health talks
to schools and industrial groups, using
pictures. There will also be radio
talks, free health literature will be dis
tributed and clinics conducted for the
examination of persons suspected of
being infected with the disease.

PHILADELPHIA, March 28—Dr.
Glenn Prank, president of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, said today free
dom of education is a safeguard
against the development of a totalita
rian state “like Germany, Italy or
Russia,” in the United States.
Dr. Frank spoke at the final session
of the annual schoolmen's week at the
University of Pennsylvania.
“Freedom of scholarship and inves
tigation in our schools is a vital safe
guard against the specious plea of the
rabble rouser who is likely to loom
larger and larger in American life il
the present flutter of hysteria is symp
tomatic,” he said.
Dr. Frank stated there are 65,000,
000 Americans “who are without s
stake in the normal enterprise of cap
italism.
“If the desperation of all these pool
grows great enough, a clever leader
ship might swing them to Commun
ism. If the desperation of the well
to-do grows great enough, leadership
might lead them to Fascism. Eithei
of these roads will land us in th«
abyss."
“It is vital that we keep the church
and state separate, but a divorce be
tween education and religion will be
fatal to. the national future."
Dr. Frank continued. "The power oi
public subsidy may prove quite as ef
fective in fastening a stranglehold
upon a nation as military power. That
is why it is important that our politi
cal compaigns shall be campaigns of
general education on fundamental
issues.”
