President Joins
1.700 Enthusiasts
At Horse Show
Thrills Pack Program
At Fort Myer's
Birthday Celebration
President Roosevelt and about
1.700 cheering enthusiasts sat
through more than two thrill-filled
hours at the Fort Myer riding hall
last night as crack horsemen from
civilian and military ranks went
through their paces in the Presi
dents Birthday Horse Show, staged
for the infantile paralysis benefit
fund.
;! From the moment that the Presi
dent. who w'as accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt, was welcomed by buglers
until Battery C of the 16th Field
Artillery brought the performance
to a close with hair-raising maneu
vers, the program moved at a swift
pace, almost continuous applause
greeting the participants.
For young Lisbeth Stieg of Chevy
Chase, the occasion was particularly
noteworthy, because Skippy. as she
Is known, rode her big jumping
mare Hi-Ho to triumph in the go
as-you-like class for the only victory
that civilian riders were able to take
from the Army representatives in
the two nights the show was held.
Hi-Ho First by 3 Seconds.
Skippy and Hi-Ho were the first
to compete in this tough class. The
conditions were not known to the
entrants until post time and they
called for clever riding. The 10
jumps were well scattered and the
trick was to take all with the fewest
faults in the quickest time. The
riders could take their own course,
provided every barrier was taken
once and only once. It was very
confusing.
However, the young Chevy Chase
gill booted the little chestnut mare
around without a mishap in 54 sec
onds. This was three seconds faster
than required by Rowdy, which
pained second place under his owner,
Lt. David Wagstaff. Several others
had nice rounds, but failed to place
because they were too slow. Freddie
Hughes on Black Caddy was going
great until Caddy stopped three
fences from home and ruined his
chances. And all the while Skippy
was watching the rest trying to beat
her performance, praying that none
would.
Had it not been for this victory
the Army riders would have swept
the open jumping classes, four in
all. Wednesday night they won
both and earned an even break last
night when Capt. John Collier rode
Gay Cockade to victory in the open
jumpers over a big field. This also
was a tough class to win, no less
than 12 jumps dotting the course.
The four-jump-in-and-out proved
the undoing of a large number and
almost stopped Gay Cockade.
Gay Cockade Scores.
After bouncing over 10 of the
Jumps without apparent effort. Gay
Cockade got too close to the third
of this series of fences and hit
Blightly. However, that beat out
Mount Carmel, which had 1'2 faults.
Clipped Wings, which had won a
similar class the night before, took
third place under Lt. James Polk
and Hi-Ho was fourth with Miss
Stieg up. Capt. Charles B. McClel
land and his mount, Smacko, the
pair to beat in this class, were off
form and finished among the alsc
rans.
The hunter class results almost
were a repetition of the opening
night scores. Mrs. D. N. Lee’s Red
Fox and Col. George S. Patton's
Konohiki finished one-two in the
open hunters, as they had done
Wednesday in the same event. In
winning, Aubrey Fishback, well
known Warrenton horseman, gave
his mount a smooth ride, as did Col.
Patton, who rode the Hawaiian
bred horse. Palm Sunday, a Springs
bury Farm entry, ridden by Sue
Bolling, earned the yellow ribbon
and thus picked up his second
award of the evening, having placed
second in the road hack class.
The Springsbury outfit, owned by
Mrs. George P. Greenhalgh of Ber
ryville, Va„ enjoyed continued suc
cess, winning the working hunters
with Abdication and a total of four
* minor ribbons. An additional three
ribbons were won Wednesday night.
Scamp Again Winner.
* Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry's Gabby's
Scamp, which won the green hunters
opening night, came back to win
another blue in the road hack class.
Ridden by Patricia Henry, the Mis
souri-bred chestnut, performed like
a veteran to make good his rider’s
claim that he is the easiest-going
« horse she’s ever ridden. Palm Sun
day earned second and Charles Car
rico's Recall, which later placed
fourth in the open hunters, took
third with his owner up. This time
Mrs. Greenhalgh rode Palm Sunday,
which was making his show ring
debut.
In addition to the drill by Battery
C. girls from Arlington Hall also
went through smart maneuvers that
captured the crowd.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
occupied the box of the comman
dant of the fort, Col. George S
Patton. Others in the box included
Mrs. Dorothy Roosevelt. Mrs. Pat
ton, little Diana Hopkins, daughter
of Secretary of Commerce Hop
Kins, mig. (jren.-JLUwiii ivi. waisuu
of the presidential secretariat, and
Capt. Dan Callaghan, the Presi

Ijerm-Killing Kiss
Questioned by
Health Expert
By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 26.—A West
ern Reserve University health ex
pert took exception today to a Cali
fornia physician’s declaration that
“a genuine giss generates so mud
heat it destroys germs.”
Dr. Lee Ferguson, head of the
university's health service, declared
there was “no question” but that
colds in acute stages were “easily
transmitted” by kissing.
Dr. Ferguson said all Western
Reserve students had been warned
to avoid “close contact” while suf
fering from colds, but there is no
specific ban on kissing.
After 16 University of California
students were stricken with mild
cases of influenze, school health offi
cers decreed a 60-day ban on kiss
ing. Dr. S. L. Katzoff, medical di
rector and psychiatrist of the San
Francisco Institute of Human Re
lations, commented that “a good
healthy kiss doesn’t spread germs
and, if anything, the university
ought to advocate more kissing.”
A ‘‘REAL SOUTHERN LADY”—Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen presented Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland Thaws
Frozen Wei comers With Smile
*
Tokio-Born Actress 'a Southern Lady/
Gen. Howell, U. C. V., Opines
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.
A "real Southern lady,” In the
words of a 94-year-old Confederate
soldier, arrived at Washington Air
port this morning
She was Melanie of "Gone With
the Wind.” otherwise Olivia de Havil
land, and Gen. Julius F. Howell,
commander of the United Confed
erate Veterans, bent to kiss her hand
in tribute.
Resplendent in his gray uniform,
his sword swinging at his side, the
general clicked his heels gallantly
and commented later, "a real South
ern lady.''
Miss de Havilland. here for the
President's birthdax celebration,
made a frost-bitten Reception Com
mittee forget blue noses and cold
• feet at the airport. That's the
kind of girl this 23-year-old screen
star is.
Smile Thaws the Spectators.
As natural as your next-door
neighbor, but twice as beautiful,
"Melanie” let her mink coat hang
open and chatted merrily about
the snow—so the Reception Com
mittee. led by Commissioner Hazen
just didn't mention frost-bite.
From the moment she landed
until she left a broadcast at Station
WMAL to go to the Capitol for
lunch with Senator Downey of Cali
fornia. the screen star wore the
kind of smile that would thaw an
Eskimo.
She was even amused at having
walked across the snow rutted field
to the airport in open-toed slippers.
“Haven’t' you galoshes?” some
one asked “Nary a galosh,” she
answered cheerfully.
She'd Like to be “Juliet."
On the way from the airport to
| the studio for the broadcast she
! revealed she was born in Tokio;
: came to San Francisco when she
was 2 to have Her tonsils out; want
ed to be President of the United
States when she was little, and
would give anything to play “Juliet,”
though it would have to be on
the stage because she thinks Norma
Shearer did a beautiful job as the
Shakespearean heroine in the
movies.
i Her first movie role was Hermia
j in “A Midsummer Night's Dream.”
Hermia was a vixen, she said, quot
ing Shakespeare to prove it, but
since then she’s always been the
virtuous, lovely heroine.
"I don’t know what's happened
to me.” she confided, “f guess I've
reformed.”
She revealed that she had a
scholarship to Mills College when
she was 18, but gave it up to play
in the stage production of the
"Dream.”
In a Golden Setting.
For her first daylight appearance
in Washington—she was here once
for an hour at midnight—the screen
heroine wore a gold wool dress
clasped with a jeweled belt. Hei
earrings were topaz studded with
diamonds in an old gold setting. A
gold chiffon scarf, a brown hat with
a gold feather and a gold veil she
had to struggle with in the wind
completed her outfit.
Before she had been in Wash
ington five minutes she asked about
a childhood friend, Admiral Fred
erick Horn, who went out to the
Orient with her mother and father
25 years ago.
Before she had been in Washing
ton 10 minutes Commissioner Hazen
had decided not to postpone pre
senting her the keys to the city
until the reception for all the stars
Tuesday.
That's Miss de Havilland.
Elsa Lancaster to Come.
The youngest celebrity in the dele
gation from the West Coast for the
celebration will be 12-year-old Gloria
Jean, who became a success over
night in “The Under Pup.”
Another last-minute acceptance
for the celebration has come from
Elsa Lancaster, Mrs. Charles Laugh
ton in private life, who was the acid
spinster of “The Beachcomber.”
Others in the growing list of stars
are James Cagney, Pat O’Brien, Ed
ward G. Robinson, Dorothy Lamour,
Tyrone Power, Mickey Rooney,
Brenda Joyce, Gene Autry, Walter
O’Keefe, Connie Boswell, “Red"
Skelton, William Boyd and Kay
Kayser and his Kollege of Musical
Knowledge.
Both Gloria Jean and Miss La
mour are expected to arrive tom or
A -A
row. Pat O'Brien and James Cag- !
ney, who went to New York for the
opening of "The Fighting 69th." are
due Monday with Edward G. Rob
inson.
The huge birthday cake, which
was broken Wednesday while bump
ing over the snow-rutted streets,
was taken safely to the White House
yesterday for the celebration of the
President's Birthday. The pastry,
a gift from the International Union
of Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers, A. F. L.. had around its base
58 candles, each wrapped in a fac
simile of a $100 check. The original
checks were given to President
Roosevelt Wednesday as a gift of
various labor unions.

Singer Silenced
By Slit Throat
In Hex Case
Bj the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 26—“He
hexed me—he hexed me.” Detective
Sergt. Charles Brown today quoted
an excited man held in connection
with the slaying of Joseph Gal
lagher. 60. whose prolonged singing
of the ”Beer Barrel Polka” was
stilled yesterday by a slit juglar
vein.
Detective Brown said that Emil
Gardia, 44. told him he had quar
reled with Gallagher, but denied
slashing his throat with a knife.
"He never spoke to me, but he had
a hex on me: I couldn't sleep for
. weeks.” the detective quoted Gar
i dia, who is of Mexican and French
! parentage.
Other lodgers of a rooming house
in which the two men lived told de
tectives that Gallagher had sung
the popular swing polka for seven
hours to their annoyance.
The singing ceased abruptly in a
burble of sound and a night clerk
rushed to the room to find Gal
lagher bleeding profusely. He died
in an ambulance.

President Parries
Third-Term Queries;
Silent on Lewis
Roosevelt Asks Newsmen
To Give 'One Good Reason
For Answering Question'
B» the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt once more
turned aside third-term inquiries
today, including a request for com
ment on John L. Lewis’ prediction
of “ignominious defeat” if he be
comes a 1940 candidate.
When the statement of the C. I.
O. leader was brought up at his
press conference, Mr. Roosevelt
promptly asked reporters to give
one good reason why he should an
swer an inquiry of that kind.
A laugh rolled through the con
ference room when one reporter
suggested the answer would make
good copy.
Well, there’s your answer, Mr.
Roosevelt said.
Newsmen took another third-term
tack by asking the President
whether he had told Senator Dona
hey of Ohio there would be no need
for him to run as a favorite son for
the Democratic presidential nomi
nation.
Mr. Roosevelt replied this time
by saying he had told Senator
Donahey last spring he hoped the
Ohioan would run again for the
Senate and that the matter began
and ended there.
i Talked Very Little Politics.
Arthur Limbach, Ohio State Demo
cratic chairman, recently said that
the delegation to the Democratic
National Convention next summer
would go nominally pledged to Sen
! ator Donahey as a "favorite son,"
| but that it would actually be a
New Deal delegation pledged to
1 support another term for Mr. Roose
velt. Since Mr. Limbachs state
ment Senator Donahey has refused
! to say whether he would enter the
| Ohio preferential primary.
Reporters told the Chief Execu
tive in this connection that “Sena
: tor Donahey had hung his political
intentions on the fence until the
situation colored up."
The President was asked whether
he had given the Senator any green
or red highlights, but Mr, Roose
velt said they talked very little poli
tics yesterday.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
one of the original third-term ad
vocates, told reporters yesterday that
he hoped Mr. Lewis was a "better
union man than a political prog
nosticator,” adding that if he is not
he "will be of little use to labor.”
Denies “Drawing Bark.”
Secretary of Labor Perkins, reply
ing to Mr. Lewis' assertion that the
Democratic party had let labor down,
said at a press conference that she
thought the adminstration “has kept
faith with labor” and that “there
is no drawing back from any pro
gram that I know about.”
Another New Deal administrator,
Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of
internal revenue, said after a call
at the White House yesterday that
he had told the Chief Executive of
“very strong” sentiment for a third
term in Mr. Helvering's home State
of Kansas.
Four Cities Seek Conventions.
Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis
and San Francisco, meanwhile, have
notified the Democratic and Re
publican National Committees that
they will bid for the national con
ventions of the two major parties.
Others may enter the competition
later. Chicago and Philadelphia
groups were said today to be pre
pared to offer substantial sums for
both presidential nominating con
claves.
St. Louis has asked for time to
make a convention offer to the Re
publican Committee meeting here
February 16 and San Francisco will
be represented before the Demo
cratic gathering here February 5.
There was some talk in Demo
cratic ranks that the February 5
meeting might choose a site.

Roosevelt's Two 25c Stamps
Pay for Lincoln Day Tickets
President Roosevelt has made
good his promise to pay for tickets
at 25 cents apiece for the Repub
lican Lincoln Day banquet February
12 at Wheaton, 111.
The President had Stephen Early,
his press relations secretary, write
a letter to Bernard N. Long, pro
bate clerk’s office, Wheaton, who
sent the invitation and the two
25-cent dinner tickets to Mr. Roose
velt.
Inclosed with Mr. Early’s reply
were two 25-cent stamps in pay
ment for the tickets. After making
it clear the President would not be
able to attend, Mr. Early expressed
the hope that the dinner would be
a success and that the chosen speak
er for the occasion would make the
subject assigned to him—“How to
Keep a State From Going Haywire
on the Presidential Year’’—“crystal
clear to all in attendance.”
The speaker in question will be
Representative Charles Plumley of
Vermont.
The letter sent over Mr. Early’s
signature follows:
My dear Mr. Long:
In his note of January 23, Secre
tary Watson expressed to you the
thanks of the President for the cor
dial invitation you extended to him
to attend the Republican Lincoln
Day banquet to be held on February
12 in Wheaton, 111. At the same
tlffie, Secretary Watson expressed
the President’s regrets that his en
gagements made it impossible for
him to be away from Washington
when the dinner in Wheaton takes
place.
Secretary Watson failed, however,
to acknowledge receipt of the two
tickets which you sent the Presi
dent. This apparent oversight has
just come to the President’s atten
tion.
At his request we have given Jim
Farley 50 cents in cash and he has
let us have two 25-cent stamps—
one for each of the two tickets. In
asmuch as the President greatly
appreciates the. invitation you ex
tended to him and wants very much
to keep the tickets, I am herewith
sending the stamps to you.
The President hopes very much
that the dinner will be successful in
every way and that your chosen
speaker for this occasion will make
the subject assigned to him—"How
to Keep a State From Going Hay
wire on the Presidential Year”—
crystal clear to all in attendance.
