Eight Women S Groups Ask
Senate for 0PA Extension

Eight major national women's
groups. representing total mem
ship of millions, today called on
Senate leaders to vote for extension
Of OPA, until adequate anti-inf1ation
legislation can be adopted.
The groups include the General
Federation of Womens Clubs, the
National Womens Trade Union
League, the American Home Eco
nomics Association, the Executive
Committee of the United Council of
Church Women, National Council of
Jewish Women. the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers, the
National Board of the Young
Women's Christian Association and
the American Association of Uni
versity Women.
A Joint statement from the groups
declared that every days delay
exposes American families to new
infiationary price rises on the neces-
sites of life. In this national
emergency, obstruction of demo-
cratic processes by partisan or spe-
cial interests is a, violation of the
public interests, and cannot be
tolerated any longer" the statement
said.

ing labor. She was, for example
one of the handful of House men,

the Presidents veto of the Case bill

champion of Negro rights.
Mcmahon Holds Key.
The uncertainty regarding Mr..
Bowles' ability to satisfy his amhi-
ton to continue in public life has
centered around Senator Brien Nc
Mahon, party leader in the State.
Mr.. Mcmahon has knocked down
BoWles' aspirations to be Governor
but has indicated his willingness to
have him in the Senate. Mr.. Nc
Mahon argues what is obviously true
that Mr. Bowles national experience
will be most useful there. 1t is also
a fact that this outcome will leave
the Mcmahon organization en-
trenched amid the grass roots
whence springs the delegation to
the 1948 national convention.

tions. Their slogan, for first wom-

Vocational Traininq
Bill Approved With
Little Senate Debate
BY the Associo.ed Press

With minimum of debate, Sem
ator George, Democrat, of Georgia
yesterday won Senate approval for
an increase from S14,200,0 900 to $780,
350,000 in authorized annual Federal
outlays for vocational training and
education The measure now goes
to the House.
The Southerner explained that
during the war the Government was
forced to spend uncounted millions
of dollars to train men and women
as airplane mechanics and for other
skilled trades.
He said this was the best evidence
that prewar vocational training was
far short of needs and something
was needed Immediately to help mil
lions of war workers and former
service men and women adjust to a
peacetime job or trade.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio.
who usually opposes increased
Treasury outlays. supported Senator
George and pointed out that the
original bill called for increases of
nearly S100,000,000 and had been
pared down to S16,15o, 900 additional.
States must put up so cents for
each Federal dollar the first year
and increase this 10 cents each year
until it is dollar for dollar at the
end of five years.
Regardless Of population each
State would be assured at least $40
900 each year for three programs:
Agricultural education, home eco
nomics, and trade and industrial
education, and $4,000 annually for
vocational guidance and for the new
training for distributive trades.

Limited Experiment.
OF course, as the producers were
quick to point out, the first Bikini
experiment with the atom bomb was
limited experiment. 1t was in
tended only to determine what would
happen to a flock of naval vessels
manned by goats and pigs-if an
atomic bomb we're exploded so many
feet in the air above them. 1t
wasn't intended to determine
whether the world would come
to an end. Later experiments would
do that, Later experiments will in
clude the explosion of mankind's
latest toy below the surface of the
water. Then We will know. We will
know whether the ocean bed can be
cracked wide open, whether a great
tidal wave can be created, one big
enough to wash away the islands CT
the Pacific and maybe Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Seattle.

are not promising that these things
will happen. They are just saying,
Don't go away! Keep yo'r seats!
Wait for the great after -shoW!"
AS for the big bust at Bikini, they
are bringing in later returns to
prove that it really wasn't too bad
Five ships were sunk, two were
wrecked beyond repair, seven were
heavily damaged, five were moder-
ately damaged, nine specifically
damaged and 81 'negligibly'' dam
aged Only ID, as a matter of fact,
escaped the cosmic fury of the
bomb" And the pigs and goats
didn't come off nearly as we'll as
first reports indicated. Some have
died since and others are reported
not feeling any too we'll.
All of which should give us some
comfort, cause us to agree We really
weren't cheated by the s700O0,o00
show at Bikini.
1t should, but m not sure it does.
Conditioned for Thrills.
We've been conditioned for great
thrills. Rocket bombs, radar planes
that travel faster than light, push
buttons that obliterate whole cities.
So, subconsciously or otherwise, we
want to see those things happen.
We're like the crowds that turn out
for automobile races, knowing there
is nothing duller unless somebody
gets hurt and so, subconsciously or
otherwise, prepared to be disap-
pointed If no frightful accident
occurs.
We've become sensationalists and
not only with respect to war. We
not only want bigger and better
wars, if we're going to have any
wars at all, but we want a bigger
and better peace, if we are to have
any peace at all. We want a posi-
lively sensational peace, one that will
last longer than any peace ever last
ed before, one that really looks per-
manent. I think we want that even
more, even much more. than we
want demonstration that atomic
bombs can destroy the earth.
Which makes it possible to COM
plete the circle of our thinking and
explain our disappointment con-
corning Bikini. What we'd truly

DC. Police, Firemen 10 Gel
14% Pay Raise This Month

District police and firemen are
looking forward today to pay checks
approximately IA per cent higher
this month with the signing of the
bill providing the salary increase
by President Truman last night.
In addition to active personnel,
nearly 900 retired firemen and
policemen will benefit under the bill.
The Commissioners had objected to
this phase of the legislation, con-
tending it would add s114,0OO an
nually to the cost.
The bill was introduced by Chair
man Mcmillan of the House District
Committee. Classified employees of
the Federal and District govern
ment were given pay raises under
larger general measure and Mr.. Nc
MILAN sponsored his bill so that the
police and fire personnel could also
benefit.
