‘night by the American University Park Citizens’ Association. “You can’t tell what’s in a hous£

by looking at the outside," one member said. It was pointed out that no consideration is made for de-

preciation and that furniture bought during the depression is assessed at its present value, which may be five or ten times the original price. In other action, the group made

plans for canvassing the area for its campaign to eradicate the Jap- anese beetle. The meeting was conducted by

Robert A. Maurer, jr„ president, in Hurst Hall, American University.

six children—Henry. James, of Des Moines; Mrs. Annabelle J. McLay. Birmingham, Mich., and Mrs. Mary O. Bruggmann, wife of the Swiss

Minister to the United States. Two other children, Mrs. Ruth

Wijkman, wife of the Swedish Min- ister to Canada, and John B. of

services were being arranged today. Mrs. Wallace, widow of Henry C.

Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture under Presidents Harding and

Coolldge, lived on the outskirts of

the Nation’s political life for 30

years, but took little interest in

politics herself. Her husband was Secretary of

Agriculture from 1921 until his death in 1924. Her son Henry served under Franklin D. Roosevelt as

Secretary of Agriculture and Com- merce and as Vice President. Members of the family denied that

Mrs. Wallace strongly disapproved Henry A. Wallace's third party movement. “That is not true," her son James

said. “She was not deeply interested in politics, but was loyal per- sonally to any one in her family in politics.”
