Hears MOnrOnev

Few people realize the situation
in which Congress now finds itself
one of operating within an 1893 COM
mittee structure on a $25 ,000, 900, 900
a year budget, declared Representa-
tive Monroney, Democrat, of Okla
homa, yesterday.
Speaking before the Washington
Club. on the Need for Reorganiza-
ton in Congress" Mr.. Monroney
pointed out that the streamlining OF
committees, which he termed, "the
workshop of Congress-" was the
cornerstone of the reorganization
program.
In outlining the points of the new
program, the Representative en-
phasized the needs for such impor-
tant revisions as: The reduction of
standing committees, limitation of a
Senator to two committees only.
employment of specialized experts
for each of the reorganized COM
mittees and institution of a Joint
legislative and executive council to
sit with the President and his ad-
visers for conference on important
issues.
Referring to the last recon-
mendation, the speaker stressed that
it would narrow the ever widening
breach between the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Monroney was greeted with
applause when he declared 'the Ma
ton cannot afford to use the Ma
tional Legislature as a city coun-
Gil for the District" referring to
the home-rule clause in the bill. Pas
sage of the bill, he said, would clear
the congressional calender and
docket for the more important bust
ness of national legislation.

Henderson Asks Fiscal Unit
To Control 'Suber-Budgef

when you get to a $25 ,000, 900 900
budget, the choice OF directors Of
that budget becomes of extra
ordinary Importance" Mr.. Hender-
son declared. Indifference of voters
has frequently made it possible for
high pressure groups or lobbyists"
to send to Congress men of their
own choice, he asserted.
Defeat of the recent housing bill
was attributed by Mr.. Henderson to
the opposition of Congress members
whose actions were based on the
desires Of the groups who had sent
them to Capitol Hill.
"I1l bet If one scratched the
surface, you'd find that two-thirds
of Congress members who voted
against the bill are on the side of
property owners rather than on the
side of the rentors," he declared.
He urged members of the league
to exert influence in coming cleo
tons in making "the right choice"
of legislators. He added that to
obtain full employment it is neces-
sary to have "a revised type Of
Congressman.
Mr.. Henderson expressed the hope
that fair percentage of the ma
tional budget in the postwar period
will go into health and welfare
problems and social security.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. John Langdon Taylor, CO.
chairman of the economic welfare
group. Mrs. James Bourne, CO.
chairman with Mrs. Taylor, directed
a QUESTIONABLE period which fol-
lowed the address. Mrs. Robert
Leonard, president of the District
League, presided at the luncheon
preceding the program.

Chaplain Outlines
|Sbmto Worship
ut Club Luncheon
By Ruth Dean

Democracy will not work in Japan
unless its people understand its
principles and this will not be pos
sible until Shinto worship is purged
of its present concepts and restored
to its original purity of thought"
a luncheon meeting Of the Ward
Belmont Club was told yesterday by
Chaplain William j. Chase, U. S. A.
you can't graft democratic insti-
tutions on an unbelieving people, ="
the chaplain said, pointing out the
difficulty of instilling the importance
Of individual rights in people who
believe the individual has no rights
but is subject to the will of the gods.
The first forms Of Shinto were
akin to Christian principles with a
world brotherhood type of philos-
ophy the speaker explained, but
when the Japanese government took
over Shinto in 1882, distorted it to
their own ends, making it a state
religion, the Emperor god, and
Japanese world domination it's
motto, the remaining vestiges of the
old religion died out.
The chaplain, who has just re-
turned from tour Of Japan, feels
1t will take a long time to purge
Shinto and plant the seeds of de-
mocracy, a task which should keep
our occupation forces in Japan "at
least until one generation has gone
through college,"
If we remove our forces now, he
said, we wouldn't even be of service
to the japanese liberals, through
whom the American military gov
eminent is hoping to "re-educate"
the Japanese.
Mrs. A. L. Marlin, program chair
man, introduced the speaker, and
Mrs. Walker Totty, president, pre-
sided. The meeting was held at the
Blackstone Hotel.

as this year they reversed the usual
custom Of receiving birthday gifts

Monnerheim, Finns' President,
Resigns Post Due to Illness
Premier Poosikivi
Expected to Succeed
78-Yeur-OId Marshal
BY the Associated Press

HELSINKI, Mar. 5.-Field Mar
shal Baron Mannerheim resigned
as President of Finland last night
and it generally was expected that
Premier Juho K. Paasikivi would
succeed the 78-year-old soldier who
said he was stepping down because
of illness.
Until new president is chosen,
probably next week, Paasikivi will
continue as acting president, a post
he has held since last November.
Marshal Mannerheim's letter of
resignation was read over the Fin
nish radio by Paasikivi. In it Mar
shal Mannerheim said that now
that the Finnish war responsibility
trial had been completed and Fin
land had complied with the immedi-
ate obligations of the armistice he
felt he had fulfilled the task he took
up when he was chosen president
in August, 1914. Marshal Manner
helm was to have served until
March, 1850.
His resignation apparently marked
the close of an official career high
lighted by his leadership of his
countrymen in three struggles with
the Russians. The first occasion was
in 1918 when he led Finland's fight
for independence. He also COM
manded his country's armies in the
lost 1939-40 and 1914 wars against
Russia.
So great was Marshal Manner
heim's prestige among Firms that
he sometimes was referred to as
the "uncrowned king of Finland. "
