PORTRAIT OF A CONDUCTOR Alice Riddle
KlnSler looks over an early portrait she painted of
' her former husband, the late Dr. Hans Kindler, con
ductor of the National Symphony Orchestra.—Star
SUIT Photo.
Mrs. Kindler, Artist,
To Settle Near Paris
France is claiming Alice Riddle Kindler, but she’s leaving
her paintings behind in Washington.
Mrs. Kindler is selling her farm near Atholton. Howard
County, Md., to make her home at Senlis, north of Paris, and
paint some more.
Yesterday, she visited Center Market City, Fifth and K
streets N.W., where the new
owner of some 85 of her paint
ings, Leo Bernstein, has assem
bled them for storage.
Mr. Bernstein, real estate
man and building and loan
association head, bought the
paintings when he went to look
at the farm with a view to pur
chasing it.
Many of her memories are
tied up in the collection. There
is a portrait done in 1932 of
the late Dr. Hans Kindler, who
was founder and conductor of
the National Symphony Or
chestra, holding his cello. She
was Dr. Kindler’s first wife.
There are paintings of her
garden in France, and' of the
church across, the street from

TEMPEST OVER D. C.,GUARD
INVASION OF MARYLAND DIES
A charge that “foreign troops” are occupying Mary
land soil was dissipated in a welter of explanations today.
The accusation came from Col. Robert T. Bard,
former Montgomery County American Legion com
mander. He told the county’s legislative delegation that
“foreign troops are stationed here” and suggested that
something be done about it. The troopers, he explained,
were District of Columbia National Guardsmen.
Col. Bard, who himself commanded a District Na
tional Guard unitin Maryland before resigning several
years ago, now takes the position that Maryland is for
Marylanders only. “Why doesn’t the State of Maryland
exercise its rights?” he asked today.
But at District National Guard Headquarters this
morning, Col. Dean E. Coonley, adjutant, said the Nike
sites Col. Bard believes to be manned by District troopers
are, in fact, run by the Regular Army.
"Maybe he’s referring to the fact that we send a
battery out for training every week end—that’s certainly
true.” the adjutant said. -j
In Baltimore, Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, who
commands the Maryland National Guard, said the present
situation is satisfactory to himself and the Governor.
2 Shoot Up Store,
Flee With $250
Two men robbed Jock's Liquor
Store at the corner of Addison
‘ and Sheriff roads, Prince
Oeorges County, of $250 during
a volley of shots last night.
William Moss, a clerk, told
poljce the men walked in, fired
several wild shots and an
nounced: “This is it. Give us
all your money."
One man, police said, scooped
the money out of a cash register
drawer.
Mr. Moss said he chased the
men for two blocks but quit j
when they fired three shots at
him.
Police broadcast a lookout
for two colored men. One. |
about 22 years old, is 6 feet
tall, weighs 155 pounds and

School Board Member
Hits Arlington .Trend
An Arlington School Board member said last night that
the board is falling to devote sufficient time to vital items at
its open meetings.
Board member James Q. Stockard cffid he sees a trend
developing on board activity which “is not in the best lnter-
ests of the Arlington public
schools.”
This trend, he said, involves
a combination of fewer and
shorter meetings, less citizen
participation, public sessions
“of diminishing substance,”
and fewer meetings in school ,
districts.
In a prepared statement. Mr. i
Stockard said that the board :
meetings have become “a cor
rection of odd", and ends,
chiefly the routine needed to
keep within State law.
Board In Eclipse
“We meet, pay the produce
and other bills, rubber stamp
the interim appointments, de
cide where to grant easements
for sewers and utility poles,
note a sheaf of correspondence,
hear a few citizens for not more
than five minutes each and go
home.”
This, Mr. Stockard said, “is
the picture of a school board in ,
eclipse.”
Mr. Btockard’s statement fol
lowed a proposal from Supt.
Ray E. Reid on a schedule for 1
Saturday board meetings.
Mr. Reid suggested that the
board hold four Saturday ses- '
dons during the remallder of i
the fiscal year and that the jl
meetings open at 8:30 am. and j
“close promptly” at noon.
Mr. Stockard said that there i!
