Tripp Pledges Aid
Of Newspapermen to
New War Loan Drive
Head of Press Group
Finds Industry Ready
For National Campaign
By the Associated Pres*.
Prank E. Tripp, chairman of the
Allied Newspaper Council, today as
serted that America's newspaper
men—remembering that their own
heritage “was bought with sweat,
blood and tears”—are marshaled on
the home front lines, ready “to help
their Government borrow 13 billion
fighting dollars from Americans
from every station of life.”
“They await the zero hour on
April 12 to strike a blow for their own
preservation as well as the preser
vation of all human rights,” Mr.
Tripp said in outlining plans for
press participation in the Treasury’s
second war loan campaign, slated to
start Monday.
Press Joins Front Line.
His statement follows:
"Newspapermen of the country go
Into battle on April 12th on the
home front to help their Govern
ment borrow 13 billion fighting dol
lars from Americans from every sta
tion of life.
"Newspapers in every section
newspapers with small circulations
and newspapers with large circula
tions in point of number of sub
scribers, but all equally great in the
service of their country in an hour
of need—are listed in the front
lines. They await the zero hour on
April 12 to strike a blow for their
own perservation as w’ell as the
preservation of all human rights.
"Millions upon millions of lines of
advertising space and countless mil
lions of lines of editorial space will
spill forth the messages of the second
war loan appeal with the force and
roar of Niagara
"There are certain truths we. as
newspapermen, know about this ter
rible war. These truths inspire us
to do our duty in this second war
loan campaign.
"Hitlerism has ravaged and
thrown into the world's gutters the
free voice of free information. If
any vestige of Hitlerism were to
^triumph out of the war, American
newspapers, greatest and most inde
pendent in the history of mankind,
would be sucked into the sew’ers.
Newspapermen Defend Heritage.
“Newspapermen would not be
worth their salt if they did not fight
with all their souls and might and
skill and courage to defend their
heritage.
“The heritage of American news
papermen was bought with sweat,
blood and tears. Once this country
had an underground press as Europe
has it today. Once we had our
presses smashed and our editors
murdered because newspapers dared
to fight for the truth.
“In this war newspapermen are
living up to the grandest traditions
of a free press. They are dying on
the battlefield and on the seas.
“Can we whose duty and lot in
this war is to man the presses at
home do less than to attempt to
match the record of these true sol
diers of the press?
"The Allied Newspaper Council, of
which I have the honor of being
chairman, was formed in answ'er to
the appeal of Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, jr., for an
all-out contribution by newspapers—
daily and weekly. It has placed the
problem of publicizing the second
War loan campaign squarely up to
the individual publishers and editors.
The response has been heartening.
“I am sure that every reader of a
newspaper in America will know why
the Government is asking for this
loan of $13,000,000,000 and what is
expected of each citizen during the
drive. Of course, in order to do
this, your newspaper must do its
part. In the manner in which the
appeal is presented by each news
paper and the response of its adver
tisers and subscribers we will have
a moving national picture of the pa
triotism, resourcefulness and the in
genuity of a free press freely acting
to aid a free government.”

Small Child, Burned to Death,
Saved From Burial as Pauper
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 9.—The beauty
that touched the gentle and childish
heart of a poor little girl and the
attention that she was denied in life
came to her in death yesterday.
Nine-year-old Marie • Tremmel,
eldest of six fatherless children, was
the victim of a simple tragedy—
burned to death when children with
whom she was playing tossed lighted
matches in her direction. Her
flimsy cotton dress caught fire and
she suffered fatal burns.
Mrs. Elva Tremmel, her destitute
mother, had no funds to bury her
daughter—even with the simple
honors Marie had always given baby
birds and other tiny creatures. It
appeared that her funeral parlor was
to be the county morgue and her
burial place a potter’s field.
But the city's more fortunate were
quick to pay homage to the little girl
who was to leave a poverty-stricken
home for a pauper’s grave. There
were offers of expensive family
burial lots in private cemeteries;
several volunteered to meet all
funeral expenses, and contributions
of various amounts were pledged.
A factory worker collected $85 from
his co-workers, policemen at the West
North Avenue Station volunteered
to underwrite funeral expenses.
There were contributions from scores
of others.
Marie was buried in her first and
last party dress, the gift of her
teachers at the Pickard School. And
on her little white lamb’s wool coffin
was a wreath of white carnations
and gladiolusus—from her school
mates.
The Rev. Walter S. Pond of St.
Barnabas Episcopal Church donated
his services. His text was simple and
consoling: "Unless ye become as lit
tle children, ye shall not enter the
kingdom of heaven.”
After the services, a sad but digni
fied procession made its way to
Mount Auburn Cemetery where Ma
rie was laid to rest in a private
grave.
War bonds make bombers to bomb
the Axis and lower our taxes. Why
not buy some and help yourself?

To Contest Court
Ruling on Apartment

Turnaround Approved
Members of the District Zoning
Commission, meeting in executive

would not contest a ruling by Dis

struction of apartment houses at
Sixteenth and Shepherd streets N.W
By majority vote, the Zoning
Commission had approved a rezon
■r '
ing of a tract on the west side of
Sixteenth street to prevent apart
ment house use. The petitioner was
Harry Foretsky, a Washington de

The commission also decided yes

turnaround in the Washington
Terminal area which would involve
use of a portion of land now pri
vately owned on a line of W street
N.E. This was with the understand
ing the B. & O. would dedicate to
the District property in the line of
W street.
Railroad officials had argued at a
public hearing that the change
would expedite traffic movement—
and they cited war needs—but the
plan was opposed by spokesmen
for Brentwood Village, who feared
Brentwood properties would be
damaged by noise and smoke.

press—daily and weekly, urban and

in the Treasury’s financing pro
grams. With the development of
the war savings campaign, the pub
lishers and editors and reporters
and artists and carrier boys have
joined in with a superb will to tell
the story of the War bonds and
stamps and to sell them as well.
Last month I invited to the Treas
ury leaders of the newspaper indus
try who were asked for suggestions
in the conduct of the Second War
Loan Drive. I was delighted by the
spontaneity with which they recog
nized our problems and offered even
further co-operation. As a result,
they organized themselves into an

gigantic undertaking. In addition to
the constant advisory aid of the
members of the council, they have
made available to use the full-time

that I know that no individual who
reads their publications will be una
ware of the purposes of our cam

On behalf of the Treasury I am
happy to make public acknowledge

provided to us by the Nation’s press.
