Club Session Awaits
Opposing Views Of
Pepper and Wheeler
General Federation Also
To Hear Dewey and
Surgeon General Porron
BY FRANCES IIDE,
Woman'S Club Editor,

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May 21.-
A scheduled forum on the question
of conveys, featuring the opposing
views of Senators Pepper and Bur-
ton Wheeler, cast an air of eXpec-
fancy over the General Federation
of Womens Clubs golden jubilee
convention here today.
That the afternoons discussion
may affect the form of emergency
resolutions to come before the SeS-
sions seemed highly probable.
A resolution urging aid in the
form of credit, ships, munitions
and materials of war for nations
defending their independence is on
the federatiOn'S agenda but leaders
agree that the resolution is out of
date. Approved by the board last
winter during the debate on the
leaSe-lend bill. it has never been
submitted to the voting body, how
ever. Other features promised the
women included addresses this aft
ernOon by New York's district at
torney, Thomas E. Dewey, and DR..
Thomas Parran, surgeon general of
the United States Public Health
Service.
Accident Prevention Emphasized.
Awards for club programs on pub
lie safety-a $25 prize going to the
Manassas Va) Junior woman's
Club-and an appeal for redoubled
emphasis on traffic accident preven-
ton marked this mornings meeting
Mrs. T. V. Moore of Miami Fla,
public safety chairman, attributed
sharp increases in traffic accidents
to added highway burdens in con-
nection with national defense efforts.
Mrs. Moore poined to a Is per cent
increase in accidents since January
over the corresponding period last
year, reported by the National Safe
ty Council, and declared: "If this
upward trend remains unbroken, we
will have an all-time high in traffic
deaths this year"
The Federation, she explained, has
united with so national organiZa-
tions in support of standard high
way safety program to promote safe
and orderly traffic.
The Manassas Clubs prize was
awarded for second place in con-
test limited to clubs with a member
ship of less than 100. The Woman's
Club of Forest Park. in Baltimore,
won honorable mention in another
classification.
