QUARTER MILLION
For Consolation
Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania introduced a bill into our upper house. The bill concerned itself with no less a sum than $243,361.
This was to console the American ambassador to Poland, Anthony Drexel Biddle, for furniture, tapestries, pictures, and other odds and ends, lost during the Polish blitzkrieg of 18 days, last fall. The Biddle villa, outside Warsaw, also was damaged by German bombs, and it seems that somebody took the Biddles' silver, too. Biddle now is attached to the makeshift Polish government-in-exile in France.
