The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, In national 'congress, yesterday unanimously adotped a resolution calling upon Congress to suppress certain text books on American history and to have others revised.

"The fortitude of the men who suffered at Valley Forge Is one of the traditions of the republic, and the O'Hara history maligns those men by stating that one man In every five deserted to the British," McCammant further said.

This wan ihe answer of the organi zation's president. Arthur Deerln Call, in a report before the annual meeting last night at the Industrial Home School to a recent attack on the floor of the House by Congress man Ben Johnson. The former chairman of the House District Com mute charged that the club con trolled appointment of Commission ers and other municipal officials. Summarizing the aims Included In the club's social service program of 1913, Call went on to say: "8ince the udoptlon of this pro grap the club has gone about Ihe business of realizing as many of Its aims as possible. It has done this work openly. Every one of its meet ings is open to the press; Indeed, the press is specially invited to every one of the meetings. The meetings are open to members of Congress; indeed, many of of the Congressmen have addressed the club. "As a result at least in part of the work of the club, a number of the features set forth in this program have been realized either In whola or in part. Congress now appropriates for municipal, tubercular and school nurses; for a modern municipal hospital; for a municipal lodging htnise. The Juvenile court, although still in rented quarters.
