Legislation Proposes Curb
On Use Of Atomic Bomb

by Inc Associated Press.
Members of Congress proposed
legislation yesterday to preserve the
secrets of the atomic bomb and bar
its use in war.
Another suggested the taxing OF
industries built around new scienti-
flc inventions, such as atomic deve-
lopment, to help pay the national
debt.
Representative Ludlow, Democrat
of Indiana would make it q felon;
punishable by death to reveal atomic
secrets.
Representative Bender, Republi
can, of Ohio recommended an in
ternational agreement to forbid use
of the bomb.
Representative Randolph, Demo.
crat, of West Virginia sent Presi
dent Truman letter including a tax
recommendation he had made tc
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. He said the development OF
atomic energy appears likely to
create new industries and revolu-
tionize use of power.
IF taxes levied on such new in
dustries were turned to the reduc-
ton of the national debt" Mr.. Ran
dolph said. the result would repre-
sent a constructive solution of the
problem"

him time to investigate the situa-
ton.
Ever since he took Office in mid
August, Gen. Bradley has been CIV
ing special attention to the hos
pitfalls. Assisting him have been spe-
cialists temporarily assigned to him
by the War Department to make
its own Investigations.
In addition to improving condi-
tions in the existing hospitals, he
also will have to decide where new
hospitals should 60. President
Truman last week approved con.
struction of $4,000 hospital beds
but did not name the sites.
Gen. Bradley, it was learned, takes
the position that the first $4,000
beds should go to areas where there
are no Army or Navy hospitals
which might become available ulti-
mately for use by veterans
Areas which are by-passed be-
cause Of their proximity to Army
and Navy hospitals would be con-
sidered for later hospital construc-
ton If the military hospitals do not
release some of their facilities.
In the original hospital program
which President Truman failed to
approve because he wanted Gen
Bradley to make his own choice
Of sites, Washington was scheduled
for new 700-bed hospital. How
ever, a number Of Army and Navy
facilities are located in this vicinity.

Infants Being Offered
For Home Placements
By Wives Of Veterans

Several infants have been referred
to the Board Of Public Welfare fol-
placement by wives whose hus-
bands have come home from the
armed forces to find an extra baby
in the household, according to a
social worker Of the board.
Mrs. Ruth Dixon, who does social
work with the home-finding de-
partment Of the board, said there
has been an increase in the number
Of illegitimate children referred fol
placement, but said she had no def.
mite figures.
In q few instances, children have
been offered by wives of returning
servicemen and women war workers
departing for their home towns and
afraid to take their Legitimate chill
dren with them.
Altogether, Mrs. Dixon estimated
IS children, ranging from infancy
to 6 months, are either in hospitals,
institutions or in unsatisfactory
places" because of the shortage of
temporary boarding places. Since
the group is not ready for perma-
nent adoption, the board cannot as
yet use the list of prospective
adoptors.
Mrs. Dixon said that only two
OF the eight required temporary
boarding homes have been found.

ID. {. Nurseries
Extended 10
October II
Another Wins First
Round Of Fight
For Child Care

Robert L. Haycock, superintend-
ent of schools, today extended the
closing date for % District nurseries
and child care centers until Octo-
Der n. "
Sabotage centers previously
were scheduled to close September
Is and nurseries on September 20.
With his action, working mothers
won the first round of a fight for
continuation of the child-care pro-
gram despite an order of the Fed
eral Works Agency withdrawing
Federal funds by October 81.
Mr.. Haycock said FWA made the
extension possible by informing the
Board of Education, which oper-
ates the Federally sponsored pro-
gram, it will allow funds for liquida-
ton of the centers after October
81 "f necessary"
A delegation of the working
mothers called on Commissioner
Guy Mason. Mrs. Dorothy Thomp-
son and Mrs. Clyde M. Hunt acted
as spokesman. They told him the
extension to October 81 was Just q
stopgap and pleaded with him to
recognize the human values in
volved.
Mr.. Mason told them that the
District had no funds for the pur-
pose but that he believed the FWA
had money available and would
continue the centers, If there was a
real need
The mothers obtained an ap-
pointment for this afternoon with
Henry j. Sullivan, regional direc-
tor of the FWA. after they failed
IN efforts to get hearing from
Maj. Gen. Philip Fleming, FWA
administrator.
At the request of President Tru-
man, the FWA is conducting a Ma
tion-wide survey to determine the
need for continuing the service.
Gen. Fleming will present the re-
suits to Congress.
Funds for supporting the centers
were provided under the Lanham
Act. The FWA interpreted the act
to mean that Federal sponsorship
of such services should end with
the war. The mothers seek to dis
cuss continued operation under the
act on the theory the war emer-
gency will not end until their hus-
bands are released from service.

Capitals Restaurants
Ask End Of Rationinq
Of Meat and Butter

Robert j. Wilson, executive secre-
tary of the Washington Restaurant
Association. today called for IAN
immediate end" to butter and meat
rationing.
Mr.. Wilson said the city's 1900
restaurant owners see no reason in
the world why rationing of those
two items should be continued. -
Continuance of fats rationing, he
said, however, is almost obligatory
because of the worldwide shortage.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that relief
for the devastated areas requires
little meat and said 1T is time for
the Government to let the law or
supply and demand re-assert ITSELF
Millions for Remodeling.
The planned end of meatless days
in local restaurants has not en-
tirely been accomplished despite
lowered point costs, he said. An
increased supply of poultry, how
ever, has helped the situation, he
added.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that res
taurants are preparing to spend
millions" on Improvements, remod-
cling, new furniture and other
equipment, and that this program
should get under way soon.
DR.. R. R. Ashworth, head of the
Food Inspection Service of the
Health Department, said yesterday
that any restaurants which have
been careless about sanitary con-
ditions may soon find themselves on
black list"
License Revocation Threatened.
DR.. Ashworth said there's a war
on" will no longer be an excuse for
any deviation from sanitary stand
ards. Restaurant which fail to meet
the standards, he said, will be
notified and given a fair chance to
improve conditions before being
taken into court, or requests are
made for revocation of licenses.
Three veterans have been added
to the inspection staff which lacked
10 of its authorized 18 men several
months ago, and several more are
expected to be employed in the near
future.
DR.. Ashworth said the depart

Policemen Accused
OF Trickery in Making
Arrest for GAMBLING

Assertions that a policeman, who
was veteran of Africa, Italy
France and Germany, used stories
of his overseas service to "entrap" q
39-year-olo barber-also a veteran
on gambling charge were made in
Municipal Court yesterday by De-
Tense Attorney Charles Ford.
In a preliminary hearing OF al
legations that he was operating q
lottery when arrested August n in
a police raid on a barber shop in
the 900 block of H street NE
Marion J. Marcellino testified he
agreed to put up" the numbers bet
for the plain clothes policeman
after hearing of his experiences
He contended, however, he never
said he would take the bet himself
as he intended to place it at a near
by establishment, raided later in
the day, where he'd been placing
his own bets for about 20 years.
The policeman testified he hao
visited the barber shop ON two pre-
vious occasions for a shave and that
on his last trip he told Marcellinc
some of his overseas experiences
CT the Salerno invasion, being
knocked out by German shell. OF
suffering from amnesia five days
and of being reported missing.
He explained he was inspired tc
talk about Salerno before asking the
barber to take his bet because of the
later's Italian name.
Marcellino, who said he served six
months in the Army in Alabama
declared he was moved by the vet
Grams story. II figured he was new
here and I would Ak the numbers
bet up for him." Marcellino added
Judge Nathan R. Margold granted
that Mr. Ford's arguments for dis
missal of the case were effective, but
said their proper place was in a
trial of the charge. The Govern
ment, he ruled, had produced suffl-
cient evidence for Marcellino to be
held for grand jury action. with his
bond continued at $500.
The young policeman's superior
officer requested that his name be
withheld because he now is working
as an undercover man with the vice
squad.
