FINLAND ENVOY
GIVES TALK
; OVERWOL
Finland has abandoned prohibi
tion. but the coming Olympic
games will prove that the coun
try has not abandoned athletics,
Axel Leonard Astrom, envoy e tra
ordlnary and minister plenipoten
tiary of Finland, declared last
night over Station WOL in the
weekly Washington Times Radio
Treat.
Reminding that newspaper clip
pings showed him that American
people have been much interested
In Finland during his 10 years'
service as minister to Washing
ton. the envoy reminded that the
Finnish people have also been
keenly interested in America. He
added:
“The Finnish people as a pro
gressive, democratic nation have
largely profited by American
thought, American invention,
and American experience in ef
ficient organization of free citi
zens in a free country. It en
tertains a deep admiration and
affection for this great de
mocracy of the west. Americans
visiting Finland always receive
a warm welcome.” ,
Finland, which in size and popu
lation compares to California, will
be well represented at the Olympic
contests in Los Angeles during the
Bummer, the envoy assured.
Transportation worries ran he over
some economically through the pur
chase of r good used car . . . one of

FLOYD GIBBONS REGARDS D. C. AS HOME
Two Aunts of Famous
Writer Proud of
Their Nephew
Two of the proudest women in
Washington are Mrs. Rossa F.
Downing and Miss Julia Gibbons,
aunts of Floyd Gibbons noted
war correspondent, now covering
the war in China for the Hearst
newspapers
Mrs. Downing and Miss Gib
bons. who make their home at
3714 Thirty-fifth St. N. W.. are
sisters of Gibbon’s father.
fhey say of him:
“He is the most wonderful
son and nephew. He never for
gets one of us and when he
visits Washington to see his
fath* he arrives like Santa
Claus with a million packages.”
Attended Georgetown
Gibbons, according to his aunts,
was always a gifted writer and
speaker. His first literary prize l
was an award of SIOO which he
won in a contest while attend
ing Georgetown University. It
was then he decided to devote
himself to writing.
“He said if earning money
by writing was that simple he
might as well make it a busi
ness. And he loved it so—he
was never happier than when) I
telling a good yarn or writing
of one of his boyish adven
tures.”
Mrs. Downing makes her home
permanently in Washington. She
says it is not unusual to sit in a
restaurant or store and hear
strangers chatting of her adored
nephew. Recently, she heard a
group of girls exclaiming:
“If we only knew whether or
not he is marriea? He is so ro-

The aunts say of Gibbons that
while he is unusually daring, he
never loses his head. His poise
and calm nerves have carried him
through many a close contact with
danger. According to Miss Gib

“He always knows just what
to do. I don’t believe there is
any situation he could not
handle.”
