Phone Code Word
| ToHoH Maryland
Raid Call Delays

When conventional English fails
you can always use code. -.
That's how Maryland telephone
officials feel concerning the trouble
last week about getting an air raid
warning through from Hyattsville
to Southern Maryland points.
A test Tuesday at the request Of
Col Henry S. Barrett, chief air raid
warden for the State, revealed As
minutes were required to put one
call through to Leonardtown.
Not wanting to have the same de-
lay in event of an actual air raid
or blackout, phone company officia Is
have informed E. r. Zalesak, chief
air raid warden for Prince Georges
County, that code word has been
designated for a Prince Georges
warning. When the operator hears
the code word the call will be put
through to Southern Maryland
whether the trunk lines are busy
or not.
The trunk line, it seems, is the
real cause of the trouble. There is
no trunk from Hyattsville 10 South
ern Maryland points.
J. Robert Sherwood, director of
the county Civilian Defense Coun-
Gil, says that he will be glad to have
q trunk line connected to the county
control center switchboard-pro-
vided Southern Maryland defrays
the cost.

Capt. Heck has taken a prom
inent part in the development Of

DIR. Lowdermilk Speaks.
Science must be modified after
the war to seek out the causes of
the rise and decline of nations, de-
clared DR.. w. C. Lowdermilk, presi-
dent of the Geophysical Union, in
his presidential address.
In Mesopotamia, he said, II great
empires have risen and fallen in
the past 1000 years.
In no case can the failure be at
tributed to major change of cli-
mate or to disease, which often is
given as an explanation for decline
of national vigor. Soil erosion, said
Mr.. Lowdermilk, who is assistant
chief of the United States Soil Con-
servation Service, played very little
part by destroying fertility, since
Mesopotamia is a level land.
Yet every time a civilization has
arisen there, it eventually has been
overwhelmed BY barbarians from
the grasslands to the north and east
who have been attracted by the rich
farming areas. In each case rich,
powerful, well-armed civilization
has been overcome by these nomads.
Salvation for Civilizations.
About the only salvation for pres
ent civilizations, DR.. Lowdermilk in
dicated, is to determine scientifically
the causes of the aging and death
of societies and to act in accordance
with the findings.
Bradford Washburn of the New
England Museum of Natural His
tory, Boston, told of his ascent of
Mount Hayes. Alaska, 13, TAO feet alti-
tude, last summer. This made pos
sible, he said, the mapping of ap-
proximately 1000 square miles,
hitherto practically unknown, which
may be vital for war strategy.

Religion Held Essential
In College Curriculum

The religious task of the present.
day college is no extracurricular
matter, DR.. Fritz Marti of Chevy
Chase, Md, said Yesterday in ad-
dressing the 37th annual meeting
OF the Southern Society for Philos-
ophy and Religion at Nashville,
Tenn. DR.. Marti, head of the de-
partment of philosophy at the Uni
versity Of Maryland. has been presi-
dent of the society during the last
year.
"All education is religious educa-
tion," he said. The college which
does not want to acknowledge this
fact should call itself trade school.
Trade schools do not pretend to
educate; they offer to train their
pupils.
True education helps us find
our bearings. This is why it is re-
ligious. 1t is our fate to live be-
tween the epochs. We can no longer
take for granted that religion is
merely a matter of the churches"

Byrd Calls for Report
By Employment Unit
On Blackstone Dispute
Wants Doto on Charge
Union Membership Was
Job Prerequisite
By the Associated Press.

BY this Associated Press.
Senator Byrd, as chairman of the
Joint Committee on Non-Essential
Expenditures, called on the United
States Employment Service yester-
day for a full and complete re-
port" Of the organizations activities
at Camp Pickett, Blackstone. Va, in
certifying applicants for employ
ment on the camp construction
job
Referring to charges that the Fed
eral agency was operating as "a re-
cruiting office for unions" Sena-
tor Byrd requested John J. Corson,
director of the service, to report ::
Il. The number Of persons en-
ployed by your organization in Vir-
ginia, giving the names and salaries
of each employe.
% The cost of operation of your
office at Blackstone.
"3 The number of applicants for
employment in skilled and semi
skilled classes certified. advising
whether these certifications were
made to the union or to the con-
tractor.
Il. The number of skilled and
| semiskilled applicants you have
certified to the union who have
been compelled to join the union be-
fore obtaining employment"
Asks Data of Contractors.
Senator Byrd also wired the con-
tractors of the Blackstone Job
Grannis. Higgins, Thompson & Nc
Dewitt, asking the number of skilled
and semiskilled employees they had
employed who were members of the
union and how many were not union
members.
Senator Byrd wrote Mr.. Corson
his committee had received "numer-
Gus complaints to the effect that
an American citizen has been re-
fused employment at Camp Pickett,
Blackstone, unless he first joins a
union and pays all fees assessed
against him.
Also, the statement has come to
me from the Governor of Virginia
that the employment service, which
was established by Congress for the
purpose of aiding citizens out of
employment to obtain work, has de-
clined to certify to the contractors
any applicant unless this applicant
f1rst becomes a member of the
union.
If these charges are correct. your
organization is one primarily inter-
ested, it appears. in acting as a re-
cruiting office for unions, as con-
trasted with the freeborn right of an
American citizen to obtain work
undertaken by his Government
without being coerced or compelled
to join a union before doing so.
Fund Cut Threatened.
'"1f this is the character of work
you are undertaking throughout the
country. it would appear that Con-
greSs should be fully informed there
to and that reductions in appropria-
tions should be effected"
After requesting the report, SEN
ator Byrd added "in closing, I may
say I believe that unions have a
proper place in the industrial life of
our Nation. favor collective bar
gaining, but I do not believe an
applicant, fully qualified in every
other particular, should be denied
work with his pun Toverpp,aYof
this work being of vital defense
character-unless he first joins a
union"
