edifice as the "Church of the Open
Door.”

offered his church as the Wartime
Prayer Center sponsored by the
Washington Federation of Churches.
Thousands of persons attended the
center. •

Miss Janet Richards,
Women's Club Leader
| ■
And Lecturer, Dies
Miss Janet E. Richards, 89, who
was known as “the dean” of woman
lecturers here and the “mother” of
woman’s club columns in local pa
pers, died yes
terday at her
home in the Wy
oming Apart
ments, 3022 Co
1 u m b i a • road
N.W., after a 10
day illness.
For more than
40 years Miss
Richards spoke
on domestic and
foreign issues be
fore women’s
clubs, organiza
tions and social
groups from
Miw KJeha'4.. Maine to Flor
ida, as far West as Honolulu and
before audiences in six European
capitals.
After graduating from Eden Hall,
a convent school for girls in Phila
delphia, she became a member of
various literary and cultural clubs
that were beginning to organize.
As her activities increased she
thought the idea of writing about
the meetings and taking her reports
to a newspaper. With these brief
reports she began what was to be
a two-year job on the Washington
Post writing under the head,
“Among the Clubs.”
Started Active Courses.
Writing book reviews for that
paper led Miss Richards to start
lecture courses in current events as
a profession for women. Her first
lecture was in the Universalist
Church at Thirteenth and L streets
N.W. and told of her visit to the
Passion Play at Oberammergau in
1890. During the Spanish-American
War she originated public lecture
courses on politics. They were held
here and in Baltimore, New York,
Phialdelphia, Boston and other
Eastern cities.
Her interest in world affairs led
her to European capitals every
summer for many years. During
that time she had interviewed Mus
solini, former President Benes of
Czechoslovakia. Aristide Briand,
former Premier of France, and Sir
Austin Chamberlain of England.
Miss Richfcrds held many foreign
decorations, among them one pre
sented by the head of tty; old Rus
sian Red Cross in Sofia after she
contributed to the Russian relief
work in the Near East.
She also was decorated by Bel
gium, France and Italy. One of
Miss Richards’ last trips before she
retired from public life 10 years
ago was to Honolulu where she was
Invited by* school principals to talk
to children representing about
eight different nations. Her last
lecture was at the Sulgrave Club
in 1937.
Native of Ohio.
Miss Richards also was prominent
in the woman’s suffrage movement
and was delegate to the Interna
tional Woman's Suffrage Alliance at
Amsterdam in 1908, Stockholm in
1911 and at Rome in 1923. In 1916
she spoke at the first Woman’s Pan
American Congress here in 1916 and
at the Quinquennial International
Council of Women held in Rome in
1914.
She was a native of Granville,
Ohio, and had lived in Washington
since the Civil War.
She was a charter member of the
Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, No. 133, and
claimed descent from four genera
tions of grandparents who fought in
the American Revolution as officers.
She attended every one of the first
50 DAR congresses and was honorary
chairman of the Golden Jubilee
Committee in 1940. She had served
as historian, regent and secretary
of the Mary Washington Chapter of
Washington and was a delegate and
speaker at annual DAR conferences.
Miss Richards was a member and
founder of the Woman’s City Club.
She has no immediate survivors.
Requiem mass will be said at 10
a.m. tomorrow at St. Matthew’s Ca
thedral, with burial in Mount Olivet
Cemetery.
Korean Voting Put Off
One Day Due to Eclipse
fty the Associated Press
SEOUL, April 5.—Lt. Gen. John
R. Hodge today announced a one
day postponement of the election to
form a South Korean government
because of a total eclipse of the sun
on the scheduled polling date, May 9.
The Army commander in the
United States zone gave no reason
why the eclipse should prompt the
change.
Koreah sources, however, suggest
ed superstitious country folk might
shun the polls. Korean Christians
had objected to voting on Sunday,
anyway.
Seoul Police Chief T. S, Chang
said six or seven men considering
running for the National Assembly
had received death threats. He at
tributed the threats and attacks to
Communists who are opposed to
the election.
Two registration places in Seoul
and five in Kwangju, Southwestern
Korea, were attacked by gangs
which smashed furniture and car
ried off registration material. Five
arrests were made.
Gen. Hodge said the United Na
tions commission supervising the
election had concurred in the post
ponement. Previously it had re
fused to reschedule the election for
May 25.

Mrs. Rockefeller Dies
Of Heart Attack at
Home in New York
■r rtw Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 5.—Mrs. John
D. Rockefeller, jr., 73, died today at
her home of a heart attack.
Mrs. Rockefeller was the former
Abby Green Aldrich, daughter of
Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island. She married the present
head of the famous Rockefeller
family in 1901.
They have five sons—John D. Ill,
Nelson, Laurence, Win throp and
David—and a daughter—Abby. Mrs.
Rockefeller was a sister of Win
throp Aldrich, the noted banker.
She died at 9:15 am., at her home,
740 Park avenue.
Had Huge Art Collection.
Mrs. Rockefeller’s husband, con
sidered one of the Nation's wealth
iest men, has an estimated personal
fortune of between $250,000,000 and
$400,000,000. But she avoided pub
licity and her name rarely appear
ed in the news.
One of her main Interests w^
an art collection valued at $200,000.
She presented the major part of it
to the Museum of Modern Art in
New York several years ago.
One of Mrs. Rockefeller’s most in
teresting collections of Americana
was at Williamsburg, Va„ where her
husband furnished heavy financial
support for restoration of the town,
the former colonial capital of Vir- '
ginia.
The collection includes many ob
jects that have disappeared, such
as sailing ship figureheads, weather
vanes, hitching posts and American
household utensils.
Met Daring University Days.
Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller first met
While he was attending Brown Uni
versity at Providence, R. I., from
1893 to 1897.
Her family also possessed great
wealth. Her father for years was
one of the most powerful members ;
of the Senate.
Mr. Rockefeller and Miss Aldrich '
were married four years after his
graduation.
As her husband gradually took
over dispersal of much of the Rocke
feller wealth in huge philanthropies,
she joined him in planning these
activities. '
Mrs. Rockefeller cared for her five
sons and daughter herself, delegat
ing little to servants. She helped
give them their early education and
watched over them in Illness. 4

Walter White Scores
Foes of Civil Rights
fty tH« Associated Press
BICHMOND, Va., April 5 —Wal
ter White, executive secretary of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
said here yesterday that the state
ments of the Byrds and Tucks are
“most effective propaganda for
Communism.”
“Their disloyalty is dangerously
close to treason,” he said in an ad
dress here at the opening of a drive
for 10,000 members for the Rich
mond branch of the NAACP.
“People like Senator Byrd and
Gov. Tuck,” he said, "are proclaim
ing that democracy must move
backward, not forward; that the
world must go back to racial bigotry,
is proclaiming white supremacy.”
Mr. White said the “Southern
Governors” were aiding the spread
of communism in Europe. Russia,
he said, is waging successful psy
chological warfare among the op
pressed peoples by offering them
freedom from racial and religious
discrimination.
The NAACP will continue its
fight against segregation, disfran
chisement, lynchings and the caste
system through the courts and'by
keeping publicity “focused on this
evil of bigotry and hatred,” Mr.
White said.
De Gaullists Appear
Victors in Algeria
■y th* Auoyoltd Pratt
PARIS, April 5.—Gen. Charles de
Gaulle’s party appeared today to
have won Algeria’s strife-tom elec
tions.
Dispatches to Paris said De Gaulle
candidates already have won 22
of the 60 seats in the balloting for
Algeria’s first home-rule Assembly.
They still have a chance at 20 other
seats, to be filled in run-ofT elec
tions.
Socialists and Radical Socialists
won only two seats each.
Seven Arab Nationalists were
killed in a voting booth riot yes
terday, the dispatches said, when
the Arabs mobbed police guards at
Aumale, inland from Algiers.
A number of Nationalists were
arrested for making anti-French
statements.
The first college of the Assembly
is composed largely of European
French. The.second college, which
also has 60 seats, is to be composed
of Arabs. The Assembly is only a
consultative body.
Arabs have criticized its creation
because 500,000 European French
elect 60 deputies to their college,
while 1,200,000 Arab voters elect
the same number to theirs.
There are 9,000,000 Arabs and 1,
000,000 French in Algeria.
