Small Savings Show
Guin in Britain

More is being saved by the "lit
tie man" in Britain. In a recent
two-week period small savings were
$48 100000 above the totals for the
corresponding weeks last year.
Lord Kindersely, president of the
National Savings Committee, said
that this substantial increase re-
fected public satisfaction at the
improved war situation. Recent air
raids on London caused numbers of
people to invest their money to help
the war.
At Woking man produced 2,12O
3-penny pieces to buy war savings
bonds. 1t took three-fourths of an
hour to count the money.

Historical facts regarding the
founding of the Nations Capital
and the placing of the first bound
ary stone on April IS, 1871, were
discussed in an informal talk by
Mrs. Wilfred j. Clearman at meet
ing of the Phyllis Lyman Colony,
Society of New England Women,
yesterday at the Washington Hotel.
Mrs. Clearman, who is chairman
OF the District OAR Historical Rec
ords Committee, recalled that there
was considerable controversy be-
tween the New England and the
Southern States prior to the found
ing of the city of Washington.
Both the New England states
and the South wanted the National
Capital located on their territory"
she said. The dispute had reached
the state where the South declared
it would secede If it were not grant,
ed the honor, the speaker continued,
when Thomas jefferson returned
from France, where he had been on
a diplomatic mission. Using the
tact for which he was famous, the
Master of Monticello eventually
turned the decision in favor of the
South and plans were made to build
the Capital on the banks of the
Potomac, where the Washington
family had lived and died, thus
doubly honoring the Father of His
Country, for whom the city is named,
the speaker added.
Washington Did Not Attend.
Mrs. Clearman said Washington
was unable to attend the laying of
the first cornerstone on Jones
Point, but those who participated
did so with much ceremony and
solemnity.

Justice Roberts
Urges Planning
ForWorld Peace
Fellowship Group
Is Told America
Must Take Lead
By Frances Lide

Justice Owen Roberts of the Su-
preme Court strongly urged the i'm
portance of postwar planning now
in a forum address last night spon-
sored by the World Fellowship Com
mittee of the YWCA.
Expressing the opinion that it is
Americas job to take the lead in
developing a plan for the organiza-
ton OF world peace, Justice Roberts
asserted he totally disagrees with
those who contend that it will kill
the war effort to talk about peace
now.
1t Is tremendously heartening,
he said, that members of Congress
and certain legislatures, as we'll as
the people. are already beginning to
take up the subject of world Or
ganization to keep the peace after
the war.
The speaker warned that all
planning at this stage should be
based on agreement upon funda-
mentals and willingness to yield
as respects details. He also empha-
sized the necessity of a non-parti-
san approach.
This is citizens business" he
said, "and not politics. And no par
tisan approach should be allowed to
come into it in any manner"
Outlines Postwar Pattern.
Suggesting that the example of
the United States could be followed
internationally, Justice Roberts out
lined a pattern for postwar world
organization involving a legislative
body, an executive and a tribu-
nal to settle disputes arising under
the law.
In the League of Nations, he
pointed out, there was such a court.
But the error, he said, was in the
TACT that submission to the court
was voluntary.
Justice Roberts pointed to Amer
lean history in answer to those who
doubt that nations can collaborat te
in common league.
1T was never thought in those
turbulent days when our Nation first
was formed that the Colonies, so
much at odds on vital matters, could
ever get together" he said. But
they did. And the nations of the
world can do SO now"
The speaker also emphasized that
any laws for a world system of gov
eminent should originate in the free
will Of the peoples of the nations in
volved.
Speaks as Layman.
The speaker explained that he
spoke last night as a layman ard an
American citizen to fellow citizens.
His address was the principal feature
OF the forum, which was followed by
panel discussion.
Ihose participating included DR..
Egon Ranshofen-W -Wertheimer, visit
ing professor of international affairs
at the American University grad
uate school, who is native of
Austria and a former member of
the League Of Nations secretariat,
and DR., Albert ]. Mccartney of the
Covenart-First Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Esther Brunauer, associate in
international education of the
American Association of University
Women, was panel chairman.
Bertram Pickard of the American
Friends Committee was prevented
by illness from participating.

man of the World Fellowship Com
mittee, presided at the meeting.

New Teachers Face
Delay in Receiving
Initial Salaries
Lists Were Submitted
To Auditors Late,
Officials Explain

Four hundred and fifty temporary
and newly-appointed public school
teachers will have to wait nearly a
week longer for their pay, it de-
veloped today after 2.7oO regular
teachers had received their checks
nine days late.
Checks for the majority of teach
erS were distributed late yesterday
but new appointees went without
their salaries.
District officials explained that
supplementary lists of teachers ap-
pointed since September Is were not
delivered to the District Building
until a few days ago and that there
was insufficient personnel to make
out checks on so short a notice.
r. w. Holt. school budget officer.
explained that he does not have the
personnel to handle promptly both
the huge turnover In the teachers
staff during the summer and the new
deductions for withholding tax. Pay
ment in succeeding months, he said,
will be more prompt unless purchase
of War bonds again changes the
amounts of all checks.
Delay in payment of these tempo
rary teachers. however, is believed
to cause more hardship than in the
case of those regularly employed, as
they have just begun to work and
may have no funds in reserve.
District Auditor A. r. Pilkerton
said that $50 teachers would be paid
at the end of this week, while the
other 200 would receive their checks
early next week.

Ex-Lieutenant Held Here

when arraigned before United States
Commissioner Nee0ham c. Turnage
on a charge Of impersonating an
Army officer Preliminary hearing
was set for next Thursday and the

bond.
According to the FBI, Sower came
10 the District several weeks ago
following his dishonorable discharge
from the Army and registered at the
Harris Hotel, II Massachusetts ave-
nue., NV. representing himself as a
first lieutenant.
The FBI charged that Sower not
only failed to pay his bill, but OBJ
tanned a IS advance from the hotel
on the strength of his uniform.
The defendant was a first lieuten-
ant stationed in South Carolina
until his discharge last month on
drunkenness and disorderly charges,

teacher groups was first started in
dicates that the campaign is under
way with more momentum this
year. The original paper salvage
program started before the attack
on Pearl Harbor and continued
until the paper market became
glutted. 1t caught on with the
school students after the Christmas
holidays and paper poured into the
schools in such quantity that 1t was
possible to ship as much as two
carloads a day.
The Importance of daily ship
ments is even greater at present
because many mills are living on
a hand-to- mouth basis. with only
two and three day supplies of waste
on hand for processing into box
board, cardboard and so forth.
When the schools begin gathering
paper at the former rate they not
only will be helping in vital defense
activities. but will receive the top
price for the paper they collect.
The funds will be spent on needed
equipment and services in the
schools themselves.
Up until the time the paper COL
lection was recessed last year, the
schools had earned more than $40
600, a figure that can be exceeded
easily this time.
Tying the paper in 40-pound bum
dies at the schools. which was done
for the first time yesterday, speeded
up collections materially and gave
indication that no difficulty will be
experienced in maintaining sched-
ules, as was the case last time.
Schools not yet scheduled for COL
lection of paper should notify the
Salvage Editor of The Evening Star,
either by mail or by telephone.
