CHILDREN ROMPING
G EGGS ON WHITE HOUSE
WN IN ANNUAL WASHINGTON FETE
By RUBY A. BLACK
Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON tU.R) — Thous-
ands of children from fashionable j
Washington Mansions and down-
own alums romped on the W hite
House lawns today in that peculiar j
Washington fete known as Euater
ilonday egg rolling.
Equal thousands of grownups
thronged the grounds —as anxious
as the children to take advanta£<i

up for the lack of
ting from the presi-
Mr. Roosevelt came
a dismal rain to speak to
rong.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Accompanied by
Mrs. Curtis Dall and the two White
■ louse grandchildren, "Sistie" and
Buaizie" Dall, went out among the
-'g'g-rollera today to convey the
presidential greeting — just "Hap-
py Emater."
I 5iH>0 Attend
I By noon, 5,000 persons had
I Teamed tarough the big iron
' nice House gates.
The children, except thos# who
are there Jor the strictly business
, urpose of escorting adults at a
{unrter apiece -^ brought baskets
>f (faily colored eggs.
Some actually rolled their eggs
oil the knolls until they grew hun-
gry and ate them. Others played on
mechanical animals which had been
installed ,for the occasion or just

Anna Eleanor (Sistie) (5,
znd Curtis Roosevelt i'all (Buzzie)
i, roiled their eggs in a private
garden instead of among tho
•rwd.
'Sistie", helping the reporters,
Raid:
"One child got lost out there,"
and when asked if the child was
found, said, ""r ot yet."
When her eggs were admired she
taid, "Grommy made that ome for
Tie." "Grommy" is her way of say-
Hg "Grandmcre" — French for
Trandraother.
Then along came Thurston, the
magician, and pulled a live white
rabbit out of "Buzzie's" blue
sweater and another out of ths
sleeves of "Sistie's blue and whito
cotton print dress, "Sistie", cau-
tious girl, or child of a cautious
mother, wore rubbers over her
Easter slippers.
The White House grandchildren,
on their early round of the egg-
rollers, saw the wagon load of me-
chanical animals.
When Mrs. Roosevelt suggested
that they go inside the cage to
thank the man for bringing the
animals, the children were quite
dismayed, for they thought tho
animals were real.
The White House children began
their Easter celebration last night
with an early supper at which the
chief attraction was a big rabbit
wheeling a car containing a huge
egg full of all kinds of things.
Jack Greenway, 9-year-old Bon of
Rep. Isabella Greenway, D., Ariz.,
was & guest.
This afternoon the Roosevelt
grandchildren entertained 30
young friends at a party inside the
White House.

XC.PENNEY GO.
AUSTIN, (UP)—Had finger-
prints records been available to
the state board of pardon? and pa-
roles, Clyde Barrow, ex-convict,
now eought as the slayer of two
state highway patrolmen, would
not have been recommended for
parole, Judge Stanhope Henry,
pardon board member said here
today.
He was one of the board which
unanimously recommended the pa-
role. It was granted by Gov. Ross
S. Sterling, Jan 37, 1932. It was
revoked on Nov. 17, the same yeer
when Sheriff J. I. Freeland, Hills-
boro, advised the governor that
Barrow was wanted in Hill county
and in Oklahoma in murder in-
vestigations; in Grayson county
in a robbery with firearms case;
in Dallas county in a highway
robbery case; in Wharton county
in an assault to murder ease, and
in New Mexico in connection with
a kidnaping.
Sheriff Freeland's report paint-
ed a different picture from that
upon which the pardon board re-
commended, and the governor
freed. Barrow.
Records of the case in the par-
don board files show that the now
notorious desperado was a youth
of 18 of good appearance when
"through bad company" he got
into trouble in McClennan county
and pleaded guilty to seven char-
ges of burgularly and theft. Small
amounts were taken in each ease.
William Turner was convicted ii
a companion case. Both escaped
from Waco jail several days af-
ter their conviction. They were
caught. The trial judge who had
originally pronounced concurrent
sentences revoked that order and
made the sentencea cumulative.
Turner appealed. The court of cri-
minal appeala ruled that the tiral
judge could not change his origi-
nal order. Barrow did not appeal.'
The resulting difference in pun-
ishment for him and Turner was
recited by the pardon board in
recommending clemency.

Two Lake County jail attendants
were indicted today by the specie!

SEN LAFOLLETTE
ASKS PUBLICITY
OF INCOME TAXES
WASHINGTON. <U.ft)~An ef-
fort to throw full publicity on *11
income tax returns, to reduce
such large scale tax avoidance
as was revealed in the senate
stock market investigation, was
planned today by Sen. Robert M.
LaFollette, R., Wis.
LaFollette's father, the famous
"Fighting Bob" waged a battle
for tax publicity for years. Now
"Young Bob" is carrying on the
family tradition.
LaFollette will have the sup-
port of Sen. James Couzens, R.,
Mich., and George W. Norris, R.,
Neb., in the fight which he in-
tends to make in connection with
the 1330,000,000 tax bill now be-
fore the senate.
The contention of the liberal
group which has sought the pub-
licity feature in tax bills is « hat
it all facts in connection with
large incomes are open to public
ecrutiny there will be less chance
to dodge the law.
Strict secrecy prevails on in-
come tax returns now. Persons
handling returns in the internal
revenue bureau are subject to se-
vere penalties for any mention of
individual incomes or deductions
outside their offices.
It has bfien charged in con-
gressional debate that billions of
dollars have been lost to the Fed-
eral treasury by tax dodging in
the last 10 years. It is claimed
that most of these practices
would be eliminated by full pub-
licity.
