GalVgher said yesterday in his initial house i '-ccch, unless its members "lend their talents to aid democracy." TK'9;.te his slap at the republicans, Gallagher's half-hour rncrch brought him rccolad.es from both sides of the aisle from fellow democrats because of it pditical content and from republicans fcr his speaking r'oility. The hou-3 floor, Gallagher said, too long has been used as "a wag ing wall, not unlike the walls of ancient Jericho.' ''House members come here sing ing hvmns cf rata I hate the president.

Charlie Chaplin In New Play .(U.R) HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 22 Charlie Chaplin, slated to i-tar in another courtroom drama with Joan Barry in April, today prepared for the film production cf ''Monsieur Bluebird" to begin in the same month, but without Miss Earry in the cast. Chaplin, who hasn't made a pic ture since his controversial "The Great Dictator" in 1940, will pro duce and direct the film, in addition to playing the lead rcle. When Chaplin first started wcrk on the picture ,the red-haired Misw Barry was his drama protege. She originally was scheduled to be one of the seven wives in "Blue beard" but removed herself from the cast with her legal actions again st the pantomine artist. Retrial of Miss Barry's charge;' that Chaplin fathered her chubby daughter, Card Ann, is set for April 4. Chaplin has charged the trial, and ether of Miss Barry's ac cusations was part of a ''political persecution" campaign against him. 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (U.R) Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky., has decided definitely that there shall be a House military affairs corn mittee investigation of the commis sioning of Communists as army of ficers. 1 He said he would name an inves tigating subcomittee today. It will inquire into a War Department in struction to all commands that mem bership in the communist party shall not prevent individuals from being army officers. I When reports of the instructions were published here Tuesday, May appeared to be determined upon im mediate inquiry. Hhis interest seem : ed to cool somewhat on Wednesday. But the commitment to investigate : is now difinate. It is understood that the war department has indicated that j it would not object to an inquiry. The other development on the commissioned communist front was j a change of heart of the war depart j ment On Tuesday the department ! spokesman said it would have "no information or comment" on the sub ject. The department thus brushed off newspaper reporters who had in quired if the published report were true. There is a stunt in Washinton that was conceived shortly after the first newspaper reporter arrived to write the first story about government. It is to appeal to a congressman when a spokesman for an executive dep artment refuses to release infor mation in which the public seems to have a proper interest. Whether the stunt war, employed in this instance is not known to your correspondent. But both Eep. John E. Rankin, D., Miss., and Rep. Geo. A. Dondero. R., Mich., wrote to the department asking just about what the reporters asked. Dondero and Rankin had better luck than the re porters, although neither is satisfied with the army's explanation. Since the Angcll Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston was established 30 years ago, no fewer than 852,074 animals have been treated there. ems ill WALGREEN AGENCY YOUR DRUG STORE OF SERVICE TOILET GOODS SPECIALS ir"- V L'.'f-- V 1 1 x jr. ivy st -jv.-.. .-.v .
