Voteless League
Elects Officers at
Annual Meeting
The Voteless District League of
Women Voters elected a partial
slate of officers and adopted a pro
gram of action for the coming year
at its annual meeting held yester
day in Pierce Hall. Sixteenth and
Harvard streets N.W.
Faced with the uncertainty over
the outcome of fcongressional action
on the Auchincloss bill for home
rule for the District, the league
adopted alternate lines of action
with respect to its position on local
government.
In the event home-rule legislation
is passed, the group decided to
launch a program which would in
clude getting out the vote and edu
cating District citizens on their
civic rights and responsibilities.
Mrs. John C. McClintock, co
chairman of the District Affairs
Committee, also said it would be
the league’s job to “get good people
to run for office," if home rule is put
into effect. To this end, she recom
mended that the league draw up
qualifications for candidates and
submit questionnaires to potential
candidates in order to learn their
views on current issues.
If the Auchincloss bill does not
pass league members agreed their
duties should include attendance at
meetings of Government agencies
and the Board of Education and
continuance of the league’s job of
community education in citizen re
sponsibility.
witn respect to national issues,
the local league adopted the pro
gram approved by the National
League of Women Voters at its
recent annual convention in Grand
Rapids, Mich. The national league
voted “to work for United States
policies directed toward an enduring
world peace, supported by a strong
United Nations and made possible
by a sound domestic economy.”
The slate presented by the Nom
inating Committee, which included
two new officers and four new direc
tors to the board, was unanimously
adopted.
Mrs. Earle V. Simrell was elected
first vice president and Mrs. Ste
phen Burke, secretary, each to serve
two-year terms. Elected for three
year terms on the board were Mrs.
Maurice Goodman, Mrs. William
Kaufman and Mrs. D’Alton B. Myers.
Mrs. Walter Tobriner was elected
to fill an unexpired one-year term.

year term as president, presided at

Roy all Speaks on Defense Aims
Before Political Study Club
By Frances Lide
A blurt warning that the Inten
tions of the Russians regarding
peace must be evaluated “not from
what they say but from what they
do” was voiced by Secretary of the
Army Kenneth C Royall in an ad
dress yesterday before the Political
Study Club.
Mr. Royall, who spoke on the de
fense program in relation to peace,
said he doesn’t believe that war is
imminent “as long as we are able
to meet it.”
He cautioned, however, that “one
nation and its satellite countries"
recognizes nothing but force and the
ability of a nation to exert force.
Citing statistics to show that Rus
sia is spending about 28 per cent
of her national income for military
purposes—or about four times as
much as this country—Mr. Royall
said it is pertinent to ask whether
these expenditures are for defense
or possible aggression.
Until the Russians have shown,
not by words but by action, that
their intentions are peaceful, this
country is forced to believe that it
must be "reasonably prepared,” he
contended.
Mr. Royall, wno addressed tne
club’s annual breakfast at the May
flower Hotel, told members that our
military program cAnnot succeed if
it transcends what the American
people think is reasonable.
"We do not want to-militarize
America," he declared. "Nothing
would be finer than a condition
that would justify a reduction in our
armed forces. But we musn’t leave
this country without defenses that
are recognized by the world.
“We must protect our peace,” he
added, "and the decision on our
defense program must be made by
groups like this.”
The Army Secretary listed his
four requisites for peace as fair
ness, firmness, fire power and faith.
And he was applauded loudly when
he said that “firmness by prepared
ness gives notice to the world that
we are able to protect ourselves.”
The breakfast program also In
cluded a brief greeting from former
Empress Zita of Austria, who was
an honor guest.
“I wish to extend to each of you
my very best wishes and congratu
lations on being able to live in the
free, wonderful country of Amer
ica,” the former Empress declared.
Mrs. Theophilous John Morgan,
president of the club, presided at
■the breakfast, and Mr. Royall was
presented by Mrs. Erland H. Hed
rick. program chairman.
The musical entertainment, which
was arranged by Miss Lillian
Chenoweth, included vocal selec
tions by Mrs. Helen Turley, accom
panied at the piano by Mrs. Paul ?.
Keim, and instrumental numbers
by Mrs. Hope Ross Anderson, Mrs.
Leo F. Haines and Mrs. Raymond
C. Briggs.
Presidents and representatives of
a number of women's organizations
were among the honor guests.
Others were Mrs. Royall, wife of
the speaker; Countess Teresa Ker
senbrock, lady in waiting to former
Empress Zita: Mrs. Ralph E. Flan
ders, wife of the Senator from Ver
mont; Senora de Caceres, wife of the
Honduran Ambassador: Mme. Eriks
son, wife of the Swedish Ambassa
dor; Misi Dorothy Stirling, sister of
the Australian Ambassador, and
Mrs. John R. Steelman, wife of the
Assistant to the President.
Mrs. Harry V. Schnabel, chair
man of the breakfast, and her vice
chairman, Miss Maude B. Snead,
received special introductions, while '
the honor guests were presented by
Mrs. Helen pumphrey Weedon.
Dr. Meaae Bolton MacBryae oi
Grace Episcopal Church gave the
invocation and the pledge of al
legiance was led by Mrs. Charles
Fletcher Martin.
A special feature of the break
fast was the presentation of a large
bouquet of roses to Mrs. Morgan,
who is completing her first year as
president of the club.
Sorority Dinner
Miss Frances Ballard, retiring
president of Nu Chapter of Beta
Sigma Phi. was presented with a
jeweled gavel at a dinner given last
night at the Good Earth Restaurant
in honor of the chapter’s pledges
and rushees. The presentation was
