WASHINGTON, April 49, Up -
Cordell Hull made sickbed plea
for new tariff-cutting powers for
the Truman administration as a
major fight opened today on Capl-

Hull, known as father" of the

peace. Blu! Republicans declared
that it didn't prevent the present
war nor remedy unemployment In

! Thus began the first major hight
during the administration of Pres

the pending legislation. Under it,
the President could slash as much
as so per cent off tariffs prevail

for concessions from other ma

Since the original Trade Pacts
Act permitted reductions of so per

Anditioms for Young Singers
VIII Be Conducted This Week
BY Gretchen Smith,
Women's Club Editor.

The National Capital has long
been accustomed to brilliant and
talented women, but even Wash
lngtonians may perk up with inter-
est at the varied accomplishments
OF the women comprising a new Or
ganization here, the Washington
chapter of the National Society OF
Arts and Letters.
The chapter was organized last
fall shortly after the national So
ciety was founded, with its first
chapter, the Chevy Chase Chapter
organized by the present national
president, Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson
of Chevy Chase, Md, who has just
been elected regent of the Chevy
Chase Chapter of the OAR.
Mrs. Nicholson's beautiful and
gifted daughter, Mrs. Dorothy
Nicholson Bates, was re elected
president of the Washington Chap
ter last week and it would have
been difficult to find a leader more
capable of carrying out the objec-
tives of the society. namely, to en-
courage young people talented in
arts and letters by offering scholar
ships in different fields and for
members to be of mutual help and
benefit in their respective interests
A graduate of Holton Arms Junior
College magma cum laude, Mrs.
Bates early specialized in dramatic
art and appeared in many glee club
operettaS. She was chosen as the
United States representative to the
International Colonial Exposition in
Paris and on her return played the
Lead in The Festival of the Ma
tions,' pageant given at Constitu-
tional Hall for the benefit of Girl
Scouts.
Mrs. Bates, who is tall and dark,
possesses many accomplishments.
One is sure that only the good fairies
stood around her crib as a new
born babe bringing rare gifts of
future talents. In addition to her
dramatic achievements, she is the
holder of solo pilots license,
practicing lawyer and a successful
gardener.
Her-career as aviatriX was short
ened temporarily by the war which
restricted flying areas for civilian
pilots but she hopes to continue her
flying as soon as the war is ended.
Following in the footsteps of her
father and her two brothers, who
are all practicing lawyers, Mrs.
Bates entered National University
Law School and received her LII. D.
shortly before she was married.
Marriage and a new baby, tenn
porarily arrested the young Portals
law practice but with a great deal
of pride, Mrs. Bates took her Mary
land bar examinations last fall and
was admitted to practice there last
month.
: Regarding her first case early this
month, she said. Il was not so
nervous as excited. It was really
thrilling experience"
Last summer, Mrs. Bates and her
father were awarded second highest
S1onors as Victory gardeners in their
district, growing 18 different va
rieties of vegetables. The young
lawyer r-aviatriX- -dramatist gardener
added another achievement to her
record by processing over 100 quarts
OF the vegetables she grew.
Mrs. Bates is anticipating. with
pleasure, the opportunity of pre-
senting as president of the Wash
ilngton Chapter, the first scholar
ship the organization has awarded
since its founding last fall. The
