ofi information on activities which
may develop” in any of the
Americas “'that tend to endanger

be taken under this provision.
Moves for joint action designed
to prevent Germany and Italy from
gaining control of any of the French,
Dutch or British possessions in this
hemisphere are suggested in pro
visions for study “of the problems
which may confront the American
republics in case the sovereignty
now exercised by non-American
states o-sor geographic regions of
the Americas is relinquished, lapses
or is materially impaired.”
Cuba was reported to have pro
posed last week that the American
nations form a joint guardianship
over the menaced Allied territory.
There also have been numerous sug

An Associated Press dispatch from
Buenos Aires reported that Mr. Can

75 Greet'Miss Susie' Again
At Playground Home-Coming
. ■ - - . ** '
Among those who attended the home-coming yesterday at
the Garfield Playground were (left to right) Mrs. Frances Da
costa, who won the title of City Health Queen in 1926, when she
attended the playground; Mrs. Evelyn Sheridan, director of the
playground for 18 years, and Father George L. Gingras of St.
I Francis De Sales Church. —Star Staff Photo.
More than 75 persons, among
them prominent doctors, ministers
and bankers, gathered yesterday for
the fifth annual homecoming at
Garfield playground. Second street
and Virginia avenue S.E.
Guiding spirit of the affair was
Mrs. Evelyn Sheridan, director of
the playground for more than 18
years, and known to her former
charges as “Miss Susie.”
Bedecked with flags and huge
signs of “Welcome to the Home
coming.” the playground presented
a festive air. Many of the men,
whom "Miss Susie” remembers as
small boys, participated in a soft
ball game while others just sat
around and exchanged reminis
cences.
Among the homecomers were S.
N. McCune, 64, of 2333 Q street
S.E., and C. R. Brown, 56, both
retired police sergeants, of 1605
Twenty-third street S.E.
Both Mr. McCune and Mr. Brown
have lived in the area around
Garfield Park for 20 years and to
them the playground looks just
about the same as it did when they
were "little shavers," they said,
Also present were Mrs. Frances
DaCosta of 3945 Connecticut ave
nue N.W., who, as Miss Frances
Iglehart, in 1926 was named the
city health queen in a contest at
Central High School. Mrs. DaCosta
recalled that she was also the
tennis champion of the District
playgrounds at that time.
resented by Undersecretary Sumner
Welles. Mr. Hull said last week that
he hoped to go to Havana, but he
has not announced any definite de
cision. It is possible that he might
stay here, in view of the Democratic
National Convention opening July
15 and the current reports that he
might be President Roosevelt's
choice for the presidential nomina
tion if Mr. Roosevelt does not seek
a third term.
Opening date of the Havana con
ference. originally set for July 17,
was changed to July 20 by the board
yesterday.
