Fear of Atomic War May
Reverse Farm.City Trend

BY suddenly imagining emer-
gencies people can train them
selves to react more quickly and in
telligently If an atom bomb should
explode someday without warning.
One Long Island resident Inade up
his own answer to the atom bomb
He moved to Montana with the
declaration that he thought his
family would be safer there. But
there aren't enough farms or caves
to 60 around for every one. In
fact, a census official in Wisconsin
says fear of atomic warfare may
become a factor in stopping the
historic population drift from farm
to city.
DR.. Charles L. Vaughn of the
Psychological Corp. suggests that
the individual learn the facts about
A-bombs and poisons in order to
prevent fear OF, the unknown from
interfering with intelligent, edec-
tive action to meet the threat.
The atom bomb and new poisons
are real and terrible dangers, but
there may be harm either in COM
placently ignoring them or in mag
nifying the dangers.

some mental patient. 1t is q dan
gerous threat because we cannot
control the growth of hostility in
human relations. We must reduce
fears, hostility, jealousy and greed,
and increase solidarity. fair play
and community feeling. Using psys
chodrama Is one way.
Trading Roles in Family
Shows How Each Reacts
Some Sunday at dinner, for
example, let your son sit in your
chair. You pretend you are him.
that he is you. He will mimic you,
showing you how you act. You will
see how you affect him, and why
he reacts as he does. Both of you
will learn a lot about each other,
and it will be fun. The same role
trading can be done by husband and
wife, by neighbors, by grocery clerk
and manager"
Psychodrama, originated by Dr..
Moreno rs years ago in Vienna. Is
being used in a number of mental
hospitals and being employed ex-
tensiyely by the Army and Navy in
treating veterans A marriage clinic
found it successful The Once Of
Strategic Services used it also, DR..
Moreno said, to train spies to be-
come entirely new men, to break
away from their old habits.
AS an atom bomb defense, psyche
drama would not be a panacea
nor make people saints, but it is
one practical thing the individual
can do about the danger of another
horrible war. >a
Science is truly international.
Psychodrama already has been
adopted by the British Army and
Navy. If psychodrama solved group
conflicts in one country and made
that country more tolerant. other
nations would find it equally bene-
ficial to do the same thing"

A.Bomb's Effects Tested
Thoroughly in Japan =

For example, an atom bomb won't
set off a chain reaction that would
destroy the world. In Japan the
bombs killed within mile and a
quarter radius, and only 1.8 per cent
of deaths occurred beyond that
radius. Shelters of various sorts
can be set up. and different con-
struction of cities-at enormous ex-
pense and difficulty-would afford
some protection.
AS for poisons, the rub there is
that no one has yet suggested q
reasonable way of getting them into
or on people on huge scale. An
ounce OF one poison, botulinus toxin,
could kill every person in the United
States and Canada. But there is
no method yet of spreading 1t to all
Of them.
Fear is fear of the unknown, and
fear leads to ,disorganized be-
havior," DR.. Vaughn points out.
GAS people become better acquainted
with the facts of the case, fear
tends to diminish and they are
better capable of intelligent action ?
Mankind Urged to Turn Fear
Into Definite Program
DR.. Goodwin Watson, professor OF
education at Teachers College,
Columbia University, urges that
man convert his concern to save
himself and his family into q
definite collective effort.
The black market, he says, is an
example Of how people, through
selfishness, work against the COM
mon good. There is an educational
problem in teaching people to act
and think in terms Of the larger
good. There is danger In refusal to
think about bad ideas and bad
things, and not to. take steps until
it is too late.
DR.. Moreno believes that the fight
against the atom bomb as destruc-
tive weapon starts in your own
home. factory. Office or neighbor-

SO Y ears Of Law
By John cIosett Proctor

A HISTORY of the Washing
~ ton College of Law, now
~ celebrating its 50th ami
versary, parallels the grad
ual breakdown of prejudice against
women in the legal profession. The
college was founded by Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey and Miss Emma M.
Gillett at time when only Howard
University Of all the institutions of
higher learning in Washington was
admitting women to all classes.
So sharp was the prejudice that
colleges resorted to such tactics as
omitting the names of women law
graduates from printed rolls. The
bar associations and courts them
selves made concerted efforts be-
tween 1865 and the turn of the CEN
tury to block admittance of women
to the bar and to prevent their
practicing in the various courts.
First Glasses of College
Met in Mrs. Mussey's Offices
First headquarters of the college
was in the law Offices of Mrs. Mussey
at 470 Louisiana avenue. Mrs. Mus
sey, though we'll read in law and
director of her husbands practice,
was admitted to the bar only three
years before at the age of SO. Miss
Gillett had been a practicing attor-
ney for 13 years. having been gradu-
ated from Howard University in
1881 and having been admitted to
practice in the District Courts in
1883. She was associated with Watt
son J. Newton at the time the college
was started and subsequently Mr..
Newton became a member of the
faculty.
At first the school was called the
Women's Law Class. Mrs. MusSey
taught constitutional law, Miss Gill

effect that the issuance would have
upon their law school. The faculty
finally granted the diplomas, but
omitted their names from the grad
uating class. The faculty then de-
cided not to admit any more women
to the law school.
Mrs. Lockwood applied for ad-
mittance to the bar of the Su-
preme Court Of the District of CO.
lumbia and was admitted in 1873
Chief Justice Cartier assured her
that If she came into that court
she would be treated like a man.
Other Courts Less Willing
To Accept Woman Lawyer
Mrs. Lockwood Jared worse in the
other courts. Twice she was refused
permission to practice in the Court
of Claims. Her application to the
Supreme Court of the United States
was disapproved, in the following
words: "As this court knows ne
English precedent for the admis'
sion of women to the bar, 1t de-
clines to admit, unless there shall
be q more extended public opinion
or special legislation"
Special legislation was sought
and in February, 1879. secured
Whereupon, on March 3, 1879
A. G. Riddle moved that Mrs
Lockwood be admitted. She was ad.
mitted, and three days later, or
motion Of Thomas J. Durant, Mrs
Lockwood was admitted to the. ba,
Of the United States Court ol
Claims also.
So it happened that the obstacles
that lay in the way of women who
would become lawyers were re.
moved. But prejudice was still
strong enough to keep most of the
law schools closed to women. How
ever, this obstacle was not unscal-
able and Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey
found the way. ..s

nine months to devote her time ex-
clusively to her own practice Of law.
Miss Laura M. Halsey was dean
until June, 1926, when the late Mrs
Grace Hays Riley, dean emeritus, was
appointed. Mrs. Helen Arthur Adair
since 1943 has been acting dean.
Unendowed and dependent for its
support upon members of the legal
profession, many of whom served on
the faculty without thought of COM
pensation, the school maintained
from the beginning full three
year course.
During the so years since the
Women's Law School was started in
Mrs. Mussey's office a number Of
temporary quarters have been oc-
cupied by the school, the more per-
manent. ones being at 1915 K street
NV, where once resided the cele.
brated agnostic and brilliant law
yer, Robert G. Ingersoll. This site
is now occupied by the headquarters
of Almas Temple, Order of the
Mystic Shrine
The present location of the law
school is at 1000 G street NV,
where was the home of Capt. Archi-
bald Butt at the time he was lost in
the Titanic disaster. A fountain to
the memory of Capt. Butt and Fran
els D. Millet by Daniel C. French
and Thomas Hastings stands to the
rear of the Executive Mansion.
Later, Senator Oscar w. Underwood,
member of the United States delega-
tion to the Arms Conference, resided
in the Butt home.
This location is in a historic part
of old Washington and embraces a
part of the city early known as
Camp Hill, approval by President
Washington as an appropriate site
flor the proposed National University.
This included the public reservation
that lies between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fifth streets and E street
INV, south to the Potomac as the
river early existed.
In the vicinity is George Wash
iington University with its many
handsome buildings and its man.
mouth hospital now under con-
struction.
Graduates Have Been Filling
Important Legal Posts
Washington College Of Law grad
yates have filled, and are still filling,
some of the highest public offices in
Washington.
Among others, are Miss M. Pearl
Mccall, who served as special as
sistant to the United States attorney
for the District of Columbia and
later as one of his assistants; Mrs.
Rebecca S. Greathouse, also an as
sistant to the District attorney, and
Mrs. Grace B. Styles and Mrs. Hell
ena D. Reed, present assistants.
Judge Kathryn Sellers stepped up
from the district attorneys office to
the Municipal Court bench, first
woman to serve in this office. Miss
Mary O'Toole became a Judge Of the
Municipal Court. George H. Mac
Donald became Judge Of the Police
Court and Mrs. Nadine Lane Gala

lett taught Blackstone and. Della
Sheldon Jackson, daughter Of q
clergyman, assisted. In 1898 the Law
Glass was incorporated as the Wash
ington College Of Law and has re-
manned o-educational since.
Edward L. Bingham, chief justice
of what was then the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia. became
president of the Board Of Trustees.
Other members of the board were
Mrs. Cecilia F. Sherman, wife of the
Secretary of the Treasurer: Justice
Charles 3. Howry Of the United
States Court of Claims, Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster, Mr.. Newton, Mrs. Mussey and
Miss Gillett. Mrs. Mussey was dean.
Paul Sperry First Man
To Enroll in College
First man to enroll was Paul
Sperry Mrs. Mussey's law clerk, for
many years pastor Of the Church of
the Holy City and now pastor
emeritus.
Mrs. Mussey's career in educating
women for business and the law is
an impressive one. At II she began
to teach penmanship in a school
conducted by her father, Platt
Rogers Spencer, in Ashtabula, Ohio.
She attended several schools, among
them vassar College, and In 1869
was graduated in business law from
the business college conducted by
her brother -in-law in South Bend,
Ind.
She then came to Washington to
take charge of the ladies depart
ment" of the Spencerian Business
College of which her brother Henry
was president. Henry Spencer had
founded this school about six years
before at the northeast corner of
Seventh and L streets NV. Later
1t was located in the Lincoln Hall
Building at the northeast corner of
Ninth and D.
To Mrs. Mussey this was indeed
an opportunity since the Govern
ment was beginning to employ
woman clerks and many came to the
Spencerian College for instruction.

TotoI Victory ToIk Is High
 In Brooklyn

New York, Sept. 27 - CUP) The broiling battle for the flag between the Dodgers and Cardinals was at the twin, lose, or draw" stage to- day and in Brooklyn they were talking of nothing but total vic- tory"
 Flatbush was proud of its "Bums" who bounced back to a big to 2 victory yesterday over the Philadel- phia Phillies, creeping once again to within a half-game of St. Louis.
 It was a brilliant recovery for Q team that had looked like anything but a pennant contender in Q weird and wobbly Il to 9 defeat the day before to the same Phillies. Hickey Changes Mind Even Branch Rickey, the sage but conservative Dodger president, was impressed. For the first time since his early-season prediction that the Dodgers didn't have much chance to beat out the Cardinals this year, he admitted that he had changed his mind.
 T wouldn't be surprised if you boys win the pennant," he said in making a personal dressing room appearance to thank them for the $5, 100 motorboat they had present. ed him the day before.
 And I want you to know that win, lose, or draw you are the great est bunch of fellows in the world"
 Manager Leo Durocher, also beaming over the brilliant perform ance of his kids, said that figured we've got a swell chance now" Up to Cubs
 If only the Cubs can knock oil the Cardinals, I think that we'll be able to handle the Braves" he said.
 The Dodgers, who have but single games left on Saturday and Sunday with Boston, are idle today while the Cards begin the first of their three-game series with the Cubs. Durocher said he would use lefty Joe Hatten, his prize rookie, against the Braves on Saturday. Hatten has beaten the Braves three times with out defeat.
 Although the Dodger domo would make no commitment on his Sun- day pitcher. 1t was believed that he would come back with "Kurvin' Kirby" Higbe, his right handed ace, who moved down the Phils yester- day.
 Had Perfect Control
 Higbe was fast and his curve was breaking perfectly and 1t was not until he eased up in the late in- nings that the Phils could touch him.
 He struck out six, did not issue . pass, and from the second inning until one man was retired in the seventh, did not permit man to get on base.
 He got 13-hit help from his mates including a tremendous 375-foot homer by Joe Medwick with man on base.
