By the Associated Press.
FREDERICK, Md, Oct. e.-Edu-
Gators from throughout the East.
gathered to celebrate Hood Col
lege's semi-centennial, heard a
prediction today that wartime
changes in curricula would set a
pattern for postwar schooling.
Dean Margaret Shove Morriss of
Pembroke College, Brown Univer-
sity told convocation of college
personnel that accelerated pro-
grams and other war-engendered
innovations may we'll become an
established practice"
She urged development of SCI
ence and mathematics departments
in vomens colleges, pervaded by
what she termed the liberal spirit,
80 science major shall be no
more narrowly educated than one
who concentrates in English or
philosophy"
Gov. O'Conor told the convoca-
ton that education would be OF
paramount" importance in the
postwar period because the broader
horizons which education affords
are going to be necessary if we are
to achieve the full possibilities OF
the postwar era"
Gov. O'Conor said it was par
ticularly interesting" to a Governor
ITO participate in ceremonies con-
cerning an institution which has
been markedly successful without
ever having had to call upon the
State for any type of financial as
sistance."
The Governor paid tribute to DR.
Joseph Henry Apple. president OF
the institution for Al years. who
was the principal speaker at a
luncheon following the convocation
Gov. O'Conor said Dr. Apples long
term as president seldom has been
equalled in Americas educational
field"
The college will conclude the
three-day observance tomorrow.

F':enwick Ineligible
For Assembly Post,
Michael Insists

Lawrence Michael, Arlington
County Republican chairman, yes
terday charged "willful ignorance or
Intentional distortion" on the part
Of the county Democratic chairman
in defending the eligibility of Maj.
Charles r. Fenwick to be an Arling-
ton delegate to the General Assembly.
Mr.. Michael said the Virginia
Constitution, section "A, states that
mo person holding any Office or post
of profit under the United States
Government or who is in the en-
ployment OF such Government shall
be eligible to either house
However, Mr.. Michael said, Har-
rison Mann, Democratic chairman,
argues that the ban has been
amended by an act of the legisla-
ture providing that members of the
armed forces may serve in the State
Legislature.
No act of the legislature may
amend the State Constitution, Mr..
Michael asserted. A constitutional
provision, he said, can be amended
only by vote of the people or in a
constitutional convention. He main
tanned that the act to which Mr.
Mann referred did not interpret the
constitutional provision but merely
amended Section 290 of the Vir-
elnia Code and had no bearing on
qualifications of a member of the
House of Delegates.
The constitutional disqualified
ton was included in our State gov
ernment,' Mr.. Michael said, "in rec
ognition of the Importance to our
democratic government of complete
separation of the military and
civilian government.
1T is plain that the effect of
electing Maj. FenWick to one of
Arlington's two seats in the House
OF Delegates would be to deprive the
people of the county of so per cent
Of their vote in that important legis-
lative body"
In letter to State Attorney Gen.
eral Abram P. Staples. Mr.. Michael
has requested copy of his opinions
on the subject and reply to the
question of whether Maj Fenwick Is
not in the employ of the United
States Government.

|OPA Now Regulates in Chinese,
And the RestQurQteurs Like 1t
First D. G. Foreign
Language Venture
Proves q Triumph
BY GEORGE H. ENGEMAN.

Ofncials of the District OPA were
receiving congratulations yesterday
on their first venture into the field
of foreign languages-two pieces Of
literature explaining OPA regula-
tions in Chinese prepared for the
guidance of Chinese restaurants and
laundrymen in Washington.
Their publication was made pos
sible through the cooperation Of
the Asiatic Division OF the Library
of Congress and Mrs. Lienche Tu
Fang, who translated the English
into her native tongue.
Simeon C. Bluh, restaurant spe-
cialist of the price division OF the
District OPA. which is headed by
Sherwood Dodge, provided the in
spiration for the project. The
Washington and National Restau-
rant Associations aided in a con-
sultative capacity and through the
latter and OPA directors in other
regions, the publications now are
being spread to other parts of the
Nation.
Food Servers Grateful.
One Chinese restaurant proprie-
tor in the District already has in
formed the Washington OPA that
the one for food servers is espe-
cially fine, particularly for those
proprietofs with fragmentary
knowledge of the English language.
His comment and that of others
has been especially pleasing to Dis
trict OPA officials because of the
difficulties encountered. Reproduc-
ton of the complicated Chinese
characters by the wax stencil
method required extreme care lest
unintended strokes be added to the
figures through careless scratches
on the stencil.
OF the two publications, that for
the Chinese restaurateurs is the
most ambitious. 1t consists of eight
pages of Chinese characters, trans
lations OF question and answer
type explanation of the price regu-
lations.
Not a Difficult Transla ton.
Mrs. Fang, who translated it. re-
ports that she did not find the job
especially difficult. despite the OBJ
scurity which so many attribute to
OPA regulations as a whole. There
were some terms, she explained,
which were new even to the Eng
lish language, and for which she
could not provide a Chinese equiva-
lent. And there we're others such
as cover charge" for which she
did figure out a Chinese char
acter, but one regarding whose in

telligibility she was not altogether
sure.
In both these cases, Mrs. Fang
played safe by writing the English
term with which she was dealing
into her translation And then
there were times when Mrs Fang
had difficulties of her own.
You know she said laughingly,
"how it is when the more you ex-
plain the more you don't under

Mrs. Fang was born in Tientsin,
China, and educated at the Tientsin
High School and Yenching Univers-
ity at Peiping before she came to the
United States on Chinese govern
ment scholarship to study at the

to 1888, is the daughter of a Chinese
scholar. She has been with the IL
brary since November of last year
but was employed there before from
1894 to 1898.
Tongs Reluctant.
District OPA officials said yester-
day that they first asked one of the
Chinese tongs in Washington to aid
them with the translation but It's
officials we're reluctant to tackle it.
Then Mr.. Bluh thought the Library
of Congress translators. DR.. Arthur
Hummel, chief of the Asiatic Divi-
sion, was consulted and Mrs. Fang
got the job.
The questions and answers were
written by men. but OPA oficials
report one odd reaction. All Chinese
