OF PAC 10 Get Out Vote
By the Assoeioted Press

@. B. Baldwin, executive vice
president of the National Citizens
Political Action Committee, admits
"a hell,of beating in the 1916 cleo
tons" because I'VE didn't get out
the vote"
In Manual of Practical Po-
litical Action" released yesterday
Mr.. Baldwin. wrote that millions OF
independent voters stayed away
from the polls because of weakness
in Democratic administration lead
ership-it gave them no program
Mr.. Baldwin asserted 50 Repub-
lican candidates were elected by q
margin one ! to 5 per cent of the
votes. He presumably referred to
Congress races.
IF the independent and progress
sive voters had cast their ballots

origin In feeling Of the heavy re-
sponsibility which physicists have
taken upon themselves by the crea-
ton of the atom bomb"
THE intellectual workers cannot

Emergency Committee Formed.
The fund appeal, announced by
the Emergency Committee of Atomic
Scientists, Inc, with headquarters
here. said in a statement over the
signatures OF the nine scientists:
These facts are accepted by all
scientists:
Atomic bombs can now be
made cheaply and in large number
They will become more destructive
There Is no military defense
against the atomic bomb and none
can be expected.
"3-Other nations can rediscover
our secret processes by themselves
"4-Preparedness against atomic
warfare Is futile, and II attempted

War Means Use Of Bombs.
5-n war breaks out, atomic

"6-There Is no solution to thi!

Some District Hotels
Are Expected 10 Seek
Room Rent Increase

Some Washington hotels, faced
with less business and higher operat-
ing costs, are expected to ask for an
increase in transient room rates, ac-
cording to Arthur ]. Harnett, secre-
tary of the Hotel Association OF
Washington.
"Of the 81 hotels In the associa-
ton, I expect a minority will apply
for increased rates" Mr.. Harnett
said today. But I do not believe
the applications will be for more
than a 10 per cent increase"
Mr.. Harnett said room occupancy
Of hotels here is about SO per cent,
much less than in wartime and
about at the "break-even" point. The
occupancy rate Is seasonal, he
pointed out. and last July and Au-
gust 1t was down to about 80 per cent.
Washington's hotels at the same
time have had to face rising costs.
For example, Mr.. Harnett said. an
nual payrolls have increased by about
$1,000, 900 since 1899.
Another factor Is the decline of
about 30 per cent which hotels have
experienced in income from the sale
of food and beverages, Mr.. Har-
nett said.
Mr.. Harnett said that hotels
throughout the country hope the
OPA will remove ceilings on tran
sient room rates to allow for in
creased costs. He cited a statement
by Leonard Hicks, president of the
National Hotel Association, that
hotels would ask sfpf increases OIL
to 20 per cent. Tfiis would be more
than the requests for higher ceilings
would be here, Mr.. Harnett said.
E1asNfe tnsrs Ngfug4 -
are under OpA control Rents Here
are controlled by the District Rent
Control Act which froze rents as of
January !, 194l, and which was ex-
tended to the end Of l947. There
has been no dissatisfaction here
with the rent administration, which
Mr.. Harnett said has been good.
Applications for higher ceilings
here will be made by the hotels in
dividually, he said.
