D. T.. Woman Teacher
To Help Recruit Aides
For Se|ective Service
Social Workers Sought
To Trace Case Histories
Of Men Focing Droft

Miss Alice Padgett, assistant pro-
fessor of social work at Catholic
University, today was sworn in by
District Selective Service Director
William E. Leahy to recruit social
workers for the new program of
tracing the social and medical his
tory of men facing induction.
First woman to take an admins
trative job at selective service, Miss
Padgett, who is president OF the
Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Association of Social Workers
will serve without pay.
Her two principal jobs will be to
find approximately 300 trained So
cial workers to be assigned to draft
boards as medical field agents
and to assist in developing the plan
for operating the medical survey
Will Aid Psychiatrists.
The medical survey was ordered
by National Selective Service to
furnish induction stations with ade-
quate medical, social and educa-
tional histories of the registrants.
1t was explained that these his
tories will help induction station
psychiatrists sort out the fits from
the misfits' on the basis of their
past histories.
Miss Padgett said she hoped case
work agencies would be willing to
loan some of their social workers on
Office time to help with the job in
addition to workers volunteering In
their free time
Agencies which already have Of
fered to cooperate, she said, include
the Public Assistance Division, St
Elizabeth's Hospital, Family Service
Association. Jewish Social Service
Agency, Catholic Charities, Hos
pital Permit Bureau and others.
The national order for starting
the medical survey called for work
ers "educationally trained or occu-
pationally qualified to do health and
social work in a public or private
social or health agency Of recog-
nized standing
Sees 4-FS Salvaged.
Pointing out that with fathers be-
ing drafted it was more necessary
than ever now to comb the ranks of
the nonfathers for men who might
be acceptable. Mr.. Leahy said he
hoped the program would be in op-
Grafton by the first Of the year.
He explained that the draft boards
are continually sending 4-Fs back to
the induction station. and some of
them might be salvaged when their
histories show they have been able
to stand up to the stresses and
strains of civilian life.
Miss Padget said she didn't yet
know whether the available social
workers here could cover the whole
Job, but she described the medical
survey as ''one of the most concrete
and appealing requests ever made

District Dress Dealers
Receive Warning on
0PA Price Ceilings
50 Called to Meeting
After Survey Indicates
Wide Violations

Fifty downtown dress shop pro-
prietors, called to District OPA
headquarters after survey had in
dicated widespread price violations,
were warned today by John l..
Laskey. OPA enforcement attorney.
that future deliberate violations
would be dealt with severely.
Mr.. Laskey pointed to the posi-
bility of triple damage suits and
warned the women's wear dealers
that machinery existed for with
drawing licenses to do business
under OPA regulations.
I do not outline these possibilities
to you by way of a threat, but
simply that you may know the risk
you run If you fail to acquaint your
self with the regulations and abide
by them" Mr.. Laskey said. I'VE are
not looking to the mistake which
even the most honest merchant may
make. but the deliberate violator will
be dealt with severely"
Asks Cooperation.
Mr.. Laskey called on the mer-
chants for aid in obtaining evidence
against dress manufacturers who
may be violating their ceilings.
We can't control the wholesale
market without your cooperation. -
he said, and I should not need to
point out to you, as good business
men who have survived so far, the
future which awaits business
which sells in controlled market
and buys in an uncontrolled one"
One of the merchants complained
that the control of the manufac-
turers was so strong that they were
able to retallate against any retailer
who complained of their practices.
In the case of recorders, he said,
retailers are sometimes told that
supplies have been exhausted and
then have been offered precisely the
same dress under a different num-
Der and at a higher price.
Regulations Explained.
Another merchant complained
that chain stores were moving into
the higher price fields, contrary to
regulations.
V. A. Holmes. chief of apparel
durable goods and services of the
price division of the District OPA,
who explained the apparel regula-
tions to the merchants, replied that
any specific complaints against
chain stores or manufacturers would
be acted on promptly He said that
in each instance the complainant
would be protected.
According to Mr. Laskey, the
meeting was called to prevent an
incipient wave of price ceiling vio-
lations during the Christmas buy
1 ing season rush.

Lodging House Code
Amended 10 PenaIize
Room-Law VioIators
Regulation Is Aimed at
Boorders Toking In
Additional Persons

Regulations governing lodging
rooming and boarding houses were
amended yesterday to penalize those
who violate the law in regard
to the number of persons who may
sleep in one room
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West, chairman of the
Regulations Committee, informed
the Commissioners that "it appears
at present, after the proprietor of
a rooming house has rented room
to the proper number of persons,
they have, without the knowledge
and consent Of the proprietor, taken
in additional roomers.
The proprietor is not to blame
since he did not consent to the ad-
ditional roomers. The purpose of
this amendment is to impose the
penalty on those whose presence
causes the over-occupancy. Fines
range up to $500 for violations
The Commissioners also agreed
to a change in the regulation which
would require a toilet for each 10
persons in the cases of properties
with outside toilets. Under present
regulations an outside toilet is one
permitted in building without
inside water and sewer connections
The effect of the present regula-
ton was that homes with water
and sewer connections for only a
kitchen sink were technically re.
quired to have an inside toilet be.
cause Of the inside connection. Mr.
West said that in view of the short
age OF bath room equipment it was
recommended that in such cases out
side toilets be permitted in the case
of existing buildings for the dura
ton Of the emergency and six

MUST AND MUST NOT
By RUTH TAYLOR

We are all familiar with the phrase
"thc have and the havc-not nations"
1t was one Of those semi-truths that
are the best stock in trade of the
pseudo statesman. That it was an eff
fective weapon has been proven. Be
fore the bombs fell at Pearl Harbor,
sympathy for the "have-nots," and
friendliness toward the self styled
underdogs did much to becIoud the
real issue and to leave US woefully
unpreparcd for the attack Of those
whom we had pitied.
Now there is another theory abroad
in the land 1t is that Of the "musts
and the must nots" Instead Of being
a diyisive theory, however, this is a
closely coordinated and correlated cX-
preston Of thought which may be
translated into positive action.
We MUST put first things first.
We MUST devote all our energies to
the one task of winning the war, that
we may return to the ordered ways
of peace. We MUST NOT be side
tracked from this goal by personal
ambition, group interests OF individ-
ual bias.
We MUST save in all things-in
money, time, material resources, and
health-that we may be fit to assume
our full obligations as citizens. We
MUST NOT squander anything but
our spirit of friendliness and coopera-
ton with our felloWmen.
We MUST keep still. Some day try
listening to the conversations around
you-on trains, on busses. in restau-
rants-and you won't have to be told
why. We talk too much. We MUST
NOT be a carrier for the enemy.
Talking out Of turn, passing on ru-
mors, spreading tales which can cause
dissension, fear or panic among the
unthinking, serve the foe.
We MUST be alert and ready mind
ed to adjust our way Of life, our man
ner of thinking to the needs of the
moment, to make do, or to put to full
est use our dormant powers of re-
sourcefulness. We MUST NOT be set
in our ways, determined to stay out
of the game unless we can make the
rules.
We MUST put democracy into prac-
tice. We MUST shun any attempt to
divide our people This does not mean
agreeing on all points, but it does
mean disagreeing as individuals rath-
er than as group. We MUST NOT
be led astray into the fallacies of seq
regation by religion, nationality or
race, that have made funeral pyre
Of Europe again and again through
out the centuries.
We MUST think in broad terms.
We MUST see our nation as part of
the family of nations, our RESPONSE
bility as one and the same with the
responsibilities Of men and women of
good will the world over. We MUST
realize that we are our brother S
keeper. We MUST NOT shirk our
task by isolationism, either individual
or national.

So many people do not think of the
miracle of a new dawn, so | am hop
ing you might publish this poem in
your paper and in this way bring to
them the realization of Gods power
over all things, even the dawn Of a
new day:
The twinkling morning star
Fades in the morning skies;
Shadows flee in diSarray- *
The night wind sighs and dies. u
Darkness fades and soft grey light
Appears DER the eastern hills
The birds strike up an overture
And usher out the Whippoor-Wills.
The skies take on a brighter hue,
The suns golden rim is seen
Slowly rising over the horizon
Silhouetting trees, in between.
Soon the sun in all its splendor
Brings a new day and night is gone.
And God another miracle has wrought
In giving US another dawn.
There is a dawn that we are all
working, hoping and praying for. That
is the dawn of peace. Only God Him
self can make this possible. In Him
we find the strength to work, and
fight, and pray for that new day. It's
He who gives Us the courage and hope
to carry on to victory. Not victory
won because we are brutally stronger
than our enemies, but a victory over
the forces Of evil that threaten to
overthrow all the fine principles Of
God-fearing and God-loving nations
of the earth; won because our way of
living is pleasing to God. And that
being so, with His help we triumph
over these enemies and find peace
again with the dawn of a new day for
all of us.

One hundred and siXty-seven years
ago this Fourth Of July there rang
forth upon a then unheeding world the
''unanimous Declaration Of lndepen-
dance of the thirteen united States of
America"
At that time, though bells rang and
crowds in the streets of Philadelphia
cheered, only a few far-sceing individ-
nails realized the true significance of
the Declaration Of Independence. To
the rest Of the world the proclamation
was mere words.
But these words" made nation,
and, more than nation, they made a
way Of life They were the clarion call
which proclaimed not merely revo-
luton against constituted authority.
They were challenge to return to
first principles-to the basic ideal Of
the great monotheistic religious,
Christianity and Judiasm-that "all
men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights =
In this Declaration, the thoughtful,
conscientious men, whom we call the
founding fathers, affirmed what has
come to be called "Americanism," the
spirit which animates and unifies this
nation composed of 50 many divergent
and different racial, national and re-
ligious groups. They proclaimed the
philosophy that the people should and
could govern themselves, and that by
working together in a spirit Of equal
ity, they could insure to themselves
and to each other the inalienable
rights Of life, liberty, and the pur-
suit Of happiness"
The pledge which they then made
is still the price of our rights. "And
for the support of this DeclaratiQ n,
we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred
Honour"
This is a pledge that enjoins each
and every one Of us, regardless of our
work, our faith, or our condition in
life, young or old, rich or poor black
or white, worker or employer, Catho-
lie, Jew or Protestant, to support and
defend those principles by which and
through which we live and enjoy our
freedom.
In this hour of global war and ma
tional upheaval and upon this solemn
and sacred anniversary, let US put
aside our differences, and renew our
mutual pledge, so that we may pre-
sent united front to those who
would destroy our way of life. With
this spirit we shall win, and in the
winning retain our democratic way of
life for all the generations to come.
