Birth Control Called
Wartime Health Need

Birth control is must item
in our war health program" and
should be carried on intensively
after hostilities cease, DR.. Walter M.
Brunei, medical director Of the
Bridgeport Comm Brass Co., said
yesterday in the principal speech at
the annual meeting of the District
Planned Parenthood Association.
Wartime migration and concen-
tration of war workers and the
large number of marriages, espe-
cially among servicemen, require
that our activities be intensified
now" DR.. Brunei said. War has
merely focused attention OH the
existing need, he added.
A complete maternal care pro-
gram should embrace parental care,
delivery care and child spacing ad-
vice, he said When these essen
tial services" become an integral
part of every State, county and
city health program, he added,
we "can look forward to a healthier,
happier and more able citizenry."
Calling attention to the high per-
centage of draft reflections, he said
that lack of proper spacing of chill
dren has in no small measure con-
Itributed to the poor health and ply
sical defects of our young men"
Mrs. John B, Martin, jr., member
of the Board of Trustees, reviewed
the associations work during last

The District association now is
attempting to raise $4,000 to finance

Citizens Group Approves
Community Buying Project

A community cooperative buy
ing project was approved last night
by the Dahlgren Terrace Citizens
Association. Household and garden
supplies under plans proposed by
William H. Luers, president, will be
purchased by the association acting
as nonproflt agent of it's members.
Through special arrangements
with wholesalers, appreciable indi-
vidual savings were predicted Some
members, however, questioned the
fairness of the scheme to the COM
munity's retail dealers. Services
such as carpentry might also be
provided by the association, Mr..
Luers suggested.
The association voted to apply
for the use of vacant District-owned
land on Franklin street between
Tenth and Eleventh streets NE. for
Victory gardening. The group also
decided to petition District au-
thorities for cooperation in q

JACKSON, Miss, Mar. az
Charging that colored organizations
in the North are backing the anti
poll tax bill as the entering wedge"
for full equality" of race, Senator
Bilbo, Democrat, of Mississippi told
joint session of the Mississippi
Legislature today that he was ready
to "flibuster this damnable bill for
18 months to kill it" Yet, he added,
If cloture is ever applied it will pass.
The Senator, who described him.

Washington by virtue of his chair

mittee, also urged the establishment
in Africa of colony for American
colored people where they might be
transported. with their consent, and

received, he declared, petitions from

Sees Roosevelt Nominated.
Although the bulk of the Senator's
lengthy speech was devoted to ra-
cial relations between white and
colored people, he touched on dor
mestic politics long enough to de-
clare:
''It Is a foregone conclusion that
the Democratic convention in Chi
cago in July will nominate Frank
lin D. Roosevelt for a fourth term
as President"
Senator Bilbo added that he hoped
mo good Democrat" would vote
against Mr.. Roosevelt because he
was irked by war regulations or be-
cause he "dislikes some of his as
sociates."
The Senator also advised the
Mississippi electorate that he would
be candidate for the Senate again
in 1916.
Points to Constitution.
Although declaring that he per-
sonally favored abolition of the poll
tax in Misssisippis white party
primaries" Senator Bilbo said that
any attempt to abolish it nationally
by an act of Congress was clearly
unconstitutional. He pointed out
that the Constitution provides that
electors for the House shall have

Fly Demands Proof
Of Mi|ler's Charges
OF FEC 'Bung|ing'

Chairman James L. Fly of the
Federal Communications Com
mission today challenged Rep
resentative Miller, Republican,
of Missouri to bring into the
open" his "snide innuendo" that
FEC amateurs assigned to
radio monitoring work had
caused an American task force
to be trapped by the japanese
in Alaskan waters.
Mr.. Miller made the charge be-
fore the House Lea Committee
which is investigating the FEC and
said he would produce two sailors to
testify about the matter.
In statement accusing Mr..
Miller of throwing sneak punches"
at the commission, Mr.. Fly said;
IF Mr.. Miller has any evidence
that FEC men were responsible for
any incident as he limited he
should bring his case into the open.
This charge in the form of a snide
innuendo has been tossed at us at
least five or six times during these
hearings"
Miller Bitter Critic of FEC.
The alleged Alaskan matter, men,
toned by Mr., Miller without elab-
Grafton at previous sessions, was
brought up again yesterday. The
Missourian, bitter critic of the
FEC, asserted that amateur bun
glers' of the FEC handling monitor
stations in the Alaskan area, told
the Navy about locating a Japanese
force in a certain area, with the
additional information that another
sea lane was clear. Mr.. Miller said
American ships then went into the
latter lane and were attacked.
Referring to the secret testimony
of Rear Admiral Stanford G.
Hooper, former Navy communica-
tions officer, before the committee,
Mr.. Fly said that neither the ad-
miral nor any other official "set
forth facts to substantiate such an
irresponsible charge.
Miller knows that. We have had
13 months of this sort of abuse from
certain representatives of an inves-
tigative body presumably charged
with some obligation to maintain
something in the nature of judicial
attitude. Yet Miller continues to
grab the headlines by planting the
daily bobby trap.
'Evaporated in Thin Air"
Both Miller and the press know
that where We have got the charges
into the open and been permitted to
answer them with the overwhelming
facts, the charges have evaporated
in thin air"
Mr.. Miller also charged:
That Admiral Hooper knows about
the Alaskan incident, but has been
"silenced by executive order"
That Rear Admiral Joseph Red
man, chief of naval communications,
had spoken of the incident at a
closed session of the committee.
That FEC members had seen a
letter presumably from the White
House" which said that certain
things might happen" to whomever
disclosed military information in
the course of the FEC inquiry,
