Warning that fifth column" as

sentative Grant of Alabama, In ad-
dressing the District of Columbia
Chapter, Rainbow Division Veter-
ans. at a dinner meeting at the Cap
itol Park Hotel last night, stressed
the need for strengthening both the
internal and the external defenses
of America. Defeat of Great Brit
ain and France. he said, would make
imperative greatly increased ex-
penditures for national defense.
No nation entered q war with finer
sentiments than the United States
when It joined the allies in 1917,
declared Mr.. Grant. This country
had a twofold objective, one to
make the world safe for democracy,
and the other to fight war to end
war" Neither objective, he asserted
had been accomplished. European
democracies have fallen one by one,
and Europe is now once again
plunged in the maelstrom Of war.
Soldiers of the Rainbow and other
units of the A. E. F.. who died in
france, Representative Grant said,
gave us a mandate in 1917 and
1918"-a mandate to see to it that
American youth should never again
60 into a foreign war unprepared."
I'VE have failed to carry out that
mandate" he said, by neglecting our
national defenses. Public opinion,
he continued, demands that the
United States now set its national
defenses in order. ...--.........
AS a result of the latest war devel-
opments in Europe, the United
States faces the greatest danger
that has confronted the Nation since
1917. Representative Grant asserted.

Fate Of Germany
Depends on Youths,
Dr.. 5teinmeyer Says
Crockup Likely if
They FuII in Bottle,
School Association Told

DR.. r. G. Steinmeyer, associate
professor of political science at the
University of Maryland, told mem
bers of the Education Association
Of the District at its annual lunch
con yesterday in the Kennedy War
rem that Germany is liable to crack
UP" just as soon as its youth runs
out.
Like all totalitarian nations"
DR.. Steinmeyer said, "the idealism
Of Germany is built on youth. If
youth goes into the wars and is
killed off there are three classes in
Germany who will attend to the
future. ="
These classes were namec as:
l. The women, and especially the
mothers;
2. The Roman Catholic Church,
and
3. The soldiers who fought in the
first World War.
Says Women Oppose Hitler.
DR.. Steinmeyer said German
women, and especially the moth
ers, oppose Hitler because he makes
cannon fodder" of the youths, and
he also presumes to take over con-
troll of family life. The Catholic
Church, he said, has terrific in
fluence in German life because of
the priests who have served their
parishioners for many generations
and who, therefore, are revered. The
"old soldiers" are against Hitler,
he declared, because they served
under the Kaiser, in whose army
the orders came generally from the
high command, and are not used to
getting their orders from a man
who could attain only the rank "of a
corporal"
The first major setback Germany
receives will spell doom for the
nation, he asserted.
DR.. Steinmeyer took as his text,
Facing Reality in 1940." Discussing
the curricula Of the present public
school system, he said some changes
should be made to meet the needs
of our day.
when people no longer consider
life and liberty sacred" Dr.. Stein
meyer said, "it is time to pause and
take account"
He cited many happenings in Ger

hand by friends.
Mrs. Resh Introduces Guests.
Mrs. Frank Resh, president of the
Education Association, introduced
the guests. She said the association
now has a membership Of 1,700, an
all-high. This means that close to

Mays of Glendale, Calf, today cap
tured the pole position in the start
ing field for the Indianapolis 500
mile race May 80 as II drivers
earned their places among the con-
testants.
The runs were disappointing for
upward of $4,000 fans. A strong
east wind and rain combined to pre-
vent anything like the high speed
anticipated in the 10-mile trials,
A heavy downpour cut of the quail
ifications shortly after pm.
Mays qualified at 127.845 miles an
hour, approximately 3 miles an
hour slower than the qualifying rec
ord of 130138 miles an hour held
by the late Jimmy Snyder of Chi
cago.
With Mays in the front row will
be Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis
shooting for his third Memorial Day
event win and his second in success
sion. and Mauri Rose of Columbus,
Ohio.
Swanson Delays Trial.
Shaw qualified at 127O65 miles
an hour the same Maserati which
he piloted to victory in 1899. Rose,
driving q car entered by Lou Moore
of Los Angeles, averaged 125.625
miles an hour.
Bob Swanson of Los Angeles
failed to make a qualifying run. He
had been expected to battle with
Mays for the pole, but in practice
tries couldn't get enough speed out
Of his 16-cylinder big Bertha"
No driver approached Snyder S
one-lap record of 130.757 miles an
hour. the fastest time being Mays
first qualifying lap in which he
hit 128. $50.
~ Mike Boyle, Chicago sportsman
and labor leader, saw all three of
his entries earn places in the start
ing field. They are being driven by
Shaw, Ted Horn of Hawthorne,

TeIevision Decision
Expected From FEC.
This Week After Fiqht
Government Understood
To Have Agreed to
Give Up Some Frequeneie!
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.


A decision by the Federal Com
munications Commission on the au-
thorization for television broadcast
ing is expected early this week, but
not without q determined fight
within the commission. The COM
mission discussed the questions of
television and frequency modu-
lation allocations at q two-hour
session yesterday. An announce
ment on frequency modulation is
expected tomorrow.
Redistribution Of some of the
channels now allocated to the vari-
Gus services within the spectrum be-
ing sought by the frequency modula-
ton and television promoters will be
made 1t IS expected. Engineers have
been working for weeks on this prob
lem, and it is understood the Govern
ment has agreed to surrender some
Of the frequencies 1t has held.
Change to Take Time.
Because change would involve
the shifting of equipment from fire.
quencieS now used to others, it will
take some time. For this reason,
it may not be possible for the F. C. C.
to authorize television commercial
ization by the September / date
which was once approved and later
suspended because OF the activities
of the Radio Corp. Of America in
promoting teleWsion receiver sales.
The commission received such
wide condemnation as the result of
its suspension order, it now appears
that it is looking for way to ap-
pease all concerned. However, there
Is expected to be determined effort
during the television discussion this
week further to hold it up, but,
compromise may result. The
body has before it the statement of
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of
Montana, during the recent hearing
before the Senate Commerce COM
mittee that television is here, the
public Is demanding it. and there
ought to be found q way to give
1t to them.
Early Start Seen Desired.
REIMBURSEMENT by Government
agencies of certain channels allo-
Gated to them is taken as an indi-
cation that officials would like to see
television started so 1t could be
studied as to its possible use in the
event of q mobilization emergency.
In that event, it is expected the
Government would Immediately take
over the communications systems
including radio, as the President is
authorized to do under the Com
munications Act.
Frequency modulation promoters
have been seeking a wider band in
the lower end Of the spectrum, to
which they are now assigned, and
the release by the Government OF
some space would permit this, and
at the same time permit Of q better
grouping Of the television channels.
