Stables Search Case
Taken Under Amusement

Justice Matthew F. Mcclure to-
day in District Court took under
advisement the application of the
Office of Price Administration for
court order permitting the agency's
representatives to inspect the books
and icebox at the Stables Restau-
rant, $500 block of E street NV.
The OPA sought the order after
Mrs. Jean Richards Moran, manager,
had refused to allow OPA investi-
gators to enter the premises Febru-
ary 5.
T. Edward O'Connell, attorney for
Mrs. Moran, charged the OPA with
violating the fourth and fifth
amendments to the Constitution by
attempting to search the premises
without a search warrant. Mr.
O'Connell said that the purpose of
the search was to "get stuff on his
client" for a possible future criminal
prosecution, and he denied that a
search was legal without sworn
affidavit.
Justice Mcclure said that Mrs.
Moran waived certain rights of
search under the fourth amendment
to the Constitution by asking for
the ALLEGATION of meats. He pointed
out that Mrs. Moran did not have to
be in the restaurant business and
that her participation in it meant
that she would accede to the regu-
lationS.

Quarantine Is Continued
Al Episcopal High School

A scarlet fever quarantine at
Episcopal High School, near Alex
andria, has been continued for an
indefinite period, following the re-
port of 35 active cases at the school,
DR.. Nelson Podolnick, Fairfax
County health officer, reported to-
day.
The health officer reported that in
addition to the active cases at the
Episcopal school, all of which are
described as mild, IL cases were re-
ported elsewhere in the county.
Officials at the school said 43 stu

COP Critics Resigned
To Elliott RooseveIt's
Confirmation Today
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
His Republican critics aban-
doned hope today of keeping Col.
Elliott Roosevelt from becoming
a brigadier general. But his
globe -trotting dog, Blaze, seemed
about to have his day in the
Senate.
Senator Bushfield, Republican OF
South Dakota, who had forced a
weeks delay on the Army nomina-
ton, told reporter he expects the
promotion of the Presidents second
son to be confirmed by the Senate.
But Senator Bushfield said he
wants to unburden his mind about
the rapidity with which 34-year-old
Elliott reached the rank of general.
And, of course, there Is plane-riding,

Some of the Democrats felt is is
about time people quit attacking
Col. Roosevelt's dog. But critics
cited a Military Affairs Subcom-
mittee report which quoted Maj.
Gen. H. l.. George as saying the Air
Transport Command which he
heads made "a serious mistake" in
giving Blaze an "A, priority for an

The report said Mrs. John Boet-
tiger, the colonel's sister, telephoned
from the White House asking that
the dog be flown to the colonel's wife
in California. Col. Ray W.. Ireland,
assistant chief of staff for priorities
and traffic, set up the priority.
There was more about how Blaze
had ridden to this country from
England in a bomber commanded
by Col. Roosevelt, about his trip in
White House station wagon and
about his final delivery to Mrs.
Roosevelt in Hollywood by major.
These, among other things, led
the subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Stewart, Democrat, Of Tennes-
see, to recommend that the Senate
look into the whole priorities setup.
But Chairman Thomas said it was
lup to the full committee to decide
whether it would sponsor any such
resolution.

Chairman of British Labor Party.

LONDON.-A week in the United
States is no great basis upon which to
compare the state of British opinion
with that of Americans, least of all
when I was able only to glimpse two
cities in so brief stay. Yet certain
impressions inevitably impose them
selves, and I put them down because
they seemed to me significant. Britain,
of course. is compact, homogeneous, uni
fed; the United States is vast conti-
nent in which whole areas of thought
can be deeply influential in one section
without even affecting the outlook of
another.
The approach to life seemed to me
more different than it was in 1889 from
our own. America is more occupied in
recovering the mood of 1899; we are
compelled to realize how finally the
mood of 1889 has disappeared. Amer
lea is immensely conscious of its great
national position; we are more con-
scious of the struggle we shall have to
rebuild our own. For us certain ele-
ments in the prewar philosophy of life
are dead and gone; in America they
persist with an intensity at once dispro-
portionate to their relevance to new
ceftions, and as proof that a great
nation can be technoiogically radical
and socially conservative at one and
the same time.
Britain is getting on with its new
deal; the United States is getting rid
of whatever it can throw overheard
with all possible speed. know nothing
in Britain so full of hostinty to labor
and trade unionism as the attitude of
the big businessmen. I know nothing,
either, so curious as the general insia-
tence that Congress must be reformed
and the almost inert cynicism with
which the possibility of reform in the
concrete is dismissed.
Isolationism Loses Meaning.
There has been an obvious recognition
that in the postwar world isolationism
is devoid of meaning; yet this Is accom-
panied by islands of deep hostility to
Britain, to Russia, to take two examples
which are incompatible with the effec-
tive making of peace. The inherent
mercantilism of the American business
man is untouched He still retains the
mental atmosphere, or perhaps has re-
covered it, which made the age Of
Harding and Coolidge the most barren
in American history since the period
from Grant to Mark Hanna. Though

ism. There is fear of militant Roman
Catholicism; l think, indeed, that the
Roman Catholic Church in the United
States is today less American and more
Vatican -orientated than at any time
in its history. There is fear of radical
ideas which might easily become as
ugly as in the Red hysteria of the
'20s.
Next Five Years Critical.
1t is as though that "gilded age"
which came into being after the Civil
War is to have new birth at a time
when its influence would be far more
corrosive than it then was. There is
little sign of system of common pur-
poses deeply shared, There is little
sign either, of the theological and insti-
tutional readjustment America so clear
ly requires. There is the old generosity
of heart the old passion for experiment,
the remarkable restlessness and mo-
bility.
But I venture to doubt whether the
political or the business leaders have
recognized the real meaning of the
Roosevelt, epoch. They do not know
how profound is the change in the mass
of citizens produced by the superb les
son in adult education which was the
outstanding achievement of President
Roosevelt. They do not realize. how
worn are the functions of the economic
system they seek to impose upon world
in which its premises are outmoded.
They retain faith in an America which
died in the epoch of Theodore Roose-
welt. They are not confronting any of
their great problems on the plane re-
quired for their solution-neither the
poverty of the South, the subsection of
the Negro, nor that immense mass of
migratory workers to whom the prom
Use of American life remains an empty
dream. They have an uneasy sense
that they are in a new age and they do
not like the feel" they have of its
meaning.
Nothing, think, illustrates this better
than the complaint often expressed to
me, that Britain was "ungrateful" to
Churchill. The complaint is significant
in it's subconscious fear of a workers
victory, and in its curious disregard of
their own attitude to Franklin Roose-
welt. They are not yet ready for an ad-
justment which has become as psyche
logically imperative as it is economi-
cally urgent. The next five years will
be deeply interesting in America. They
will be critical years. He would be a
bold prophet who dared to guess their
probable outcome.

came as surprise to the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
A similar situation has arisen lately
in connection with the uniflcation of
the intelligence services of the War,
Navy and State Departments. While
the Navy and the Army sent their plans
to the President several which only
recently organized a special intelligence
branch by adding to it's old staff a
number of the OSS leftovers under Col.
Alfred Mccormack, has not yet complied
with the Presidents request. Mr.. Tru-
man is patient man and is still waiting
for the day when the mercurial new
chief of the State Departments intel
ligence section is prepared to hand in
his plans and observations.
Philosophical Schism.
Besides these difficulties which the
White House is meeting from the State
Department there is also philosophical
schism between the top-ranking per-
sonnel of Mr.. Byrnes' Inner circle" and
some of President Truman's intimate
advisers.
What Mr.. Byrnes' own theology is
is best known to himself. But his
immediate advisers are firmly convinced
that the type of world in which we
have lived so far is thing of the past
one-world theology has gripped them
firmly. From their known performances
they are convinced that world unity can
be achieved only by firm friendship
with Russia and Great Britain and in
order to accomplish this we must yield
to any political or economic requests
our principal Allies make of us.
They also seem to be convinced that
minor nations which are clamoring for
their rights assured them under the
Atlantic Charter are just severe head
ache and are representing only the
voice of some reactionary Fascist ele-
ments. This explains certain facets of
our policy in China toward the Yenan
Communists and our unwillingness to
stand by our affirmed principles and
call on the governments which we have
recognized, such as Yugoslavia, to live
up to the agreements which brought
about their recognition.
In the White House there are certain
presidential advisers whom the very
advanced liberals in the State Depart
ment consider as reactionary. These
men believe that once this country has
given pledge it must stand by it, re-
gardless of consequences. If, because
of circumstances, the pledge cannot be
fulfilled, these "reactionaries" think, we
should have the grace to refuse to rec
ognize situation which was created in
opposition to our principles of justice
and fair play.

In 1915, as now, Russia was seeking

vainly to obtain allied approval of

she is demanding two Turkish provinces

FENDER COUNTY MANS
CONDITION CRITICAL:
POLICE HOLD NEPHEW

From the latest report last night
at James Walker hospital, Joe Har-
ris, 50, Fender county farmer, is
still in a critical condition after an
alteration at his home Saturday.
According to Sheriff j. M.
Brown Of Burgaw, Harris nephew,
Raleigh Harris, 21-year-old sailor,
is being held without privilege of
bond, pending the outcome OF his
uncle's injuries.
The Fender county officer said
he had been told that the two men
were quarreling at Joe Harris S
home, about six miles northeast
Of Burgaw. Joe allegedly shot at
his nephew, but missed him, the
sheriff said. The sailor then re-
portedly took the rifle away from
his uncle and hit him over the
head.
