Conservation in Bay
Urged by Radcliffe
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. Ex-senator
Radcliffe, Democrat, of Maryland
said Yesterday that industrial de-
velopment of the Chesapeake Bay
area could be carried out without
destruction of the bays marine lie.
In an address before the Mary
land Sportsmen's Luncheon Cluo'
Senator Radcliffe said there was
much loss of fish after the World
War as a result of destructive
materials left in the bottom of the
bay by war operations.
He said that to avoid a repetition
in this postwar period I'VE must see
that these injurious materials are
dumped in the ocean or otherwise
rendered harmless.
For further conservation OF fish
and game he urged that Maryland
develop and maintain refugees and
conservation areas, enlarge activi-
ties for propagation of fish and
game, do what is feasible to provide
safeguards for fish and game by
wise methods of conservation, avoid
or eliminate sources of pollution, in
crease and avoid destroying supplies
of food for fish and game and pro-
tect upland game.
The Senator said the most impor-
tant advantage of the bay area
was that it offered probably the
finest facilities in the world for the
treatment of many disabled vet
erans."

means yet devised of barring gaso-
line fumes from escaping through
the walls of the fuel cell.
The device is used wherever aro-

Preliminary work on the con-
trivance began years ago, before
aromatic fuel was produced for gen.
eral use in aircraft, and was de-
veloped from experiments directed
by Reid B Gray, then chief of the
Martin Engineering Laboratory.
The nylon membrane was inserted
between inner and outer walls Of

Inspection Stations
For Autos 10 Close
On Holidays in Future

The Districts two motor vehicle
inspection stations, which have
remained open on all holidays ex-
cept Christmas since January, 1943
will now be closed on all holidays
The Commissioners also approved
a proposal that tax Offices be closed
on Saturdays.
The Commissioners agreed yester-
day to the recommendation of Traf-
fic Director William A. Van Duzer
that the inspection stations should
be closed on holidays because the
public has not and will not take
advantage of holiday operations
since the driving ban has been
lifted"
Annual reports of the Department
of Traffic and Vehicles show that
during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1910, 206,261 vehicles were in
spected while only 140,494 were in
spected for the year ending June
80, 1914. The testing stations are at
Mount Olivet road and West Vir-
ginia avenue NE. and Tenth and F
streets SW.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners
have approved suggestion of Col
lector of Taxes Guy w. Pearson
that tax Offices be closed on Satur-
days. This also will apply to the
water registrars Office, Mr. Pearson
said.
On August 7. the city heads agreed
to let the collectors Office continue
on a 44-hour week, Monday through
Saturday, until November 3, when
the Office would go on a 40-hour
week, working Monday through

The new arrangement, however
calls for a 44-hour week from Mon

Speedy Hearings Set
By Senate Group on
Reorganization Plan

The Senate Judiciary Subcommit-
tee today cleared the way for speedy
hearings of legislation permitting
presidential reorganization of the
executive branch of the Govern
ment.
Meeting in executive session, the
committee cleared up minor details
concerning the legislation and in
dicated hearings would start next
week.
Chairman McCarran said he
hoped the hearings would start
Tuesday He said heads of the va
rious Government departments
would appear at the hearings which
he declared would be short and
speedy"
Gives Presidential Authority.
Introduced by Senator McCarran,
the legislation would give the Pres
ident authority to reorganize Federal
departments and agencies to pre-
vent inefficiency and overlapping of
functions.
However, the bill also gives Con-
greSs what amounts to a veto over
any reorganization program sub
mitted by the President.
Congress can kill any plan sub
mitted by passing a concurrent re-
solution stating in substance that it
does not favor the reorganization
plan. This veto" must be exercised
within go days after the plan is re-
ceived, otherwise the bill becomes
law.
Senator McCarran said today the
committee is considering changing
this provision of the bill. "As it
stands now Congress is in a mega
tive position regarding any submitted
reorganization program because it
has only veto power" he declared.
Favors Congressional Power.
Il think it might be a good idea
to give Congress affirmative power
by leaving it up to both Houses to
vote directly on whether they favor
or disapprove any reorganization
program submitted.
Committee sources said adoption
of reorganization legislation might
lead to formal recommendation for
revision of some phases of the Dis
trict government.
Under the legislation the presi-
dental plan might deal with sug-
gestions for reorganization of the
District water system, and with
other agencies.

ed the union said: I'm the interests
of avoiding serious economic crisis

justice to these workers who sacri-
feed so much and in the interestsoi

exists a grave need for an imme-
diate series of measures to meet
these problems

per cent basic wage increase fol
Federal employees to make up the
cut in income suffered because oi

Two al Walter Reed
Take Citizenship Oath

District Court moved to Walter
Reed Hospital yesterday afternoon
as two GIs, each of whom lost a
foot in battle, became citizens of
the country for which they fought,
in the first such naturalization cere-
mony ever held.
His voice touched with emotion,
Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut ad-
ministered the oath of citizenship to
Pvt. Morris Poritz, 81, born in Kiey,
Russia, and Pfc. Vito Romeo, 35,
born in Laco, Italy.
Their buddies in the amputee ward
cheered when Justice Schweinhaut
moved forward and congratulated
them, on completion of the cere-
mony. Seated in wheelchairs, both
then received the warm handclasps
of Maj. Gen. Shelley U. Marietta,
commanding officer at Walter Reed
Both men came to the United
States as infants. Pvt. Poritz lived
at Hartford, Conn, and Pfc. Romeo
al Syracuse, N. Y. Pvt. Romeo lost
his right foot at the ankle when
hit by mortar shell in Belgium.
Pvt. Poritz has almost the identical
part of his left leg missing, as a
result of stepping on mine near
Cherbourg, France.
TT is great privilege for me to
administer the oath of citizenship
to you." Justice Schweinhaut told
them. You have richly deserved it"
Both men, who were prevented
from becoming citizens previously
because of failure to find papers
showing their entry into the coun-
try, said almost in unison: Its
the happiest day of my life The
ordinary requirements for citizen
ship were waived in these cases.

Head Of Nurses
|s0usted After
Wa|kout Probe
Mrs. Haynes Relieved
At Upshur St. Hospito
Following Appeal

The Board of Commissioners today
ordered the dismissal of Mrs. Ger
trude T. Haynes, head nurse of the
Upshur Street Hospital, as result
of a walkout of five colored nurses
at the hospital last March.
Mrs. Haynes originally was dis
missed last March from the District
service, but was reinstated after the
Civil Service Commission held that
as the widow of a veteran she was
entitled to a hearing and 80 days
notice. A hearing was held recently
before Budget Officer Walter l..
Fowler.
The Commissioners said after
considering the record, they found
that on the evening of March l,
Mrs. Haynes knew the Upshur Street
Hospital would be without nursing
service the following morning be-
cause of the walkout
"Could Not Believe Testimony"
Mr.. Fowler, according to the Com
missioners, said "he could not be-
lieve Mrs. Haynes testimony" that
she attempted to reach the superior
nurse at Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital. The Commissioners also
found Mrs. Haynes admitted she did
not attempt to notify either of the
two doctors connected with the Up
shur Street Hospital.
The Commissioners said Mr..
Fowler found that Mrs. Haynes did
not attempt to persuade the five
nurses-Who also we're dismissed
in March after the walkout-to re-
sumo their duties.
Although the defense counsel,
Tavern E. Dilweg, took no exception
to the finding that Mrs. Haynes
did not try to persuade the nurses
to resume work, he did take eX-
ception to certain references re-
garding events at the hospital.
Mrs. Haynes, according to the
findings. made no effort to keep
the nurses on duty until substitutes
could be found. The Commission
ers said they felt, therefore, tnat
in view of the gravity of the charges
against Mrs. Haynes, she should be
discharged as of September. l.
Entitled to Hearing.
The Veterans Preference Act OF
1914 gives Mrs. Haynes the rlght
to appeal to the Civil Service Com.
mission from the Commissioners
decision.
Commissioner Mason originally
dismissed Mrs. Haynes and the flve
nurses after the nurses failed to
report for duty on March 2. The
nurses have petitioned for hear
ing, but the Commissioners have
not announced a decision on the
request.
At the time of the incident Health
Officer George C. Rutland branded
the walkout as serious lnfrac-
tion" of the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of the nursing profession.
