been expressed on this point and
were being generally circulated
throughout the country, Mr.. Sum-
ners said. Both stressed that the
measure was an enabling bill, pro-
posing constitutional amendment
empowering Congress to give to resi-
dents of the District representation
in Congress and in the electoral
college.
Convinced on d. c. Desire.
Senator Capper said he had been
thoroughly convinced" the people
Of Washington undoubtedly desire
to participate in the government
under which they live"
Mr.. Summers stressed the points
that the resolution was based on
the irrefutable principles Of Amer
lean democracy, that "all just gov
eminent derives its authority from
consent of the governed there
should be no taxation without rep
resentation ="
Mrs. Dorothy r. Wilson, chair
man of the National Representation
Committee of the society, said "our
committee, with the help of Presi-
dent Truman. is coming closer to
getting action from Congress than
ever before" She called on society

action on the resolution when it
meets for vote next Monday.

rugged game" he warned. Put
pressure on Congress, show the
members they will not be hurt by
national representation"
Germany's Voting Cited.
Mr.. McKelway characterized ar
guments that the District might be-
come a state as "a lot of nonsense.
He declared it to be a "harshly
ironic circumstance" that found the
sons of District residents kept in
Germany "neglecting their own edu-
cation and delaying their start at
earning at living at home, while
seeing that Germans exercise a
right Ito vote, a right that these
sons of ours are denied at home
because they happen to live in the
Capital of the United States"
On motion of Charles H. Bates,
seconded by Fred A. Emery and
Monte Sanger, a message was au-
thorized congratulating Theodore
w. Noyes, editor of The Star and
chairman of the Citizens Joint
Committee on National Representa-
ton, on his recent 88th birthday
anniversary, and expressing the So
ciety's affection and esteem" for

Montgomery Tax Return
DeadIine Set THURSDAY

Montgomery County residents
were reminded today by the County
Assessment Office that Thursday is
the deadline for filing personal
property returns required under the
new county law.
Blanks which are available at
the Rockville Courthouse and at the
county buildings in Bethesda and
Silver Spring, must be returned by
Thursday to avoid a possible fine of
$500, it was announced.
Meanwhile the Montgomery
County Charter Committee labeled
the law unfair" and a poor tax
producer"
The committee said the forms
were distributed without instruc-
lions as to how to prepare them.
1t commended various officials for
appearing before civic bodies to ex-
| plain the tax, but declared it not an
effective substitute" for a sheet of
instructions.
1t was further stated the new
policy transfers from county officials

porting tangible personal property

Clothing Factories
Reported 'Hoardinq'
Thousands Of Suits

I
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2e.-The Eve
ming Sun, reporting an acute
shortage in mems clothing, while
thousands Of suits" are "hoarded'
IN warehouses, pictured the con-
Isumer as caught in the cross-fire
between manufacturers and Gov
eminent officials"
Reporting on survey it made of
conditions in Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York, the Sun said:
"The answer to the Nationwide
question Why can't I get suit?'
includes number of causes, but
outstanding among them is the di-
yergence in viewpoint between the
Government regulatory agencies and
the men who direct the mills and
factories.
I'm the matter of boarding suits,
for instance, the manufacturers say
they cannot move the suits to retail
ers at fair profit, and that they
will hold the suits until the OPA
gives relief.
But OPA Director Chester Bowles
says the apparel industry's profits
quadrupled during the war and in
recently strongly worded state
ment the OPA declared fatty No
advance in the manufacturers CELL
ing is in prospect
Meanwhile, the consumer is
caught in the crossfire between
manufacturers and Government
officials"
Other factors in the shortage,
the Sun said, include extensive
Government buying in l945, an alb
normally large consumer demand
bottlenecks in materials, shortages
OF skilled workers and depreciation

DR.. Neither Tells Of SO Reunion
Which Started Atomic Research
Copenhagen Nephew
Reloyed Word Of
Uranium Discoveries

In country hotel at a seaside
village of Kungalo on Sweden,s west
coast, an aunt and nephew held a
family reunion on Christmas Day,
1888.
That meeting may have been one
OF the most momentous events in
history.
The aunt was DR.. Lise Neither,
who until short time. before, was
head of the physical division of the
Chemical and Physical Institute of
the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute at
Dahlem, a Berlin suburb. She re-
called the story here today when
interviewed after her arrival to teach
nuclear physics at Catholic Uni
versity.
She had left Germany due to
political difficulties and was living
in Stockholm. There she had re-
ceived letter from her erstwhile
colleague, with whom she had
worked in close cooperation since
1917, DR.. Otto Hahn, director of
the chemical division of the insti-
tute.
Studied Uranium.
Since 1888 the two, with their re-
spective stats, had co-operated in
the study of uranium and the trans
mutations attained from atomic
bombardment. Since DR.. Neither
had left, DR.. Hahn wrote her, he had
obtained some very curious results.
In bombarded uranium sample he
had found traces of the much lighter
element, barium.
The most prominent breakdown
product of uranium is radium
Barium, although not radioactive
has many of the properties of
radium, belongs in the same higher
homlogue" of the atomic table, and
the two are difficult to separate by
chemical means.
DR.. Hahn, one of the worlds fore
most chemists, had accomplished
this separation. He no longer had
any doubt that he had, in some
way, produced barium from uranium
1t was, DR.. Neither said, an extraor-
binary bit of chemical work which
few except DR.. Hahn, himself, could
have accomplished.
But he did not understand the
process and had written to his COL
league for assistance.
DIR. Neither Finds Explanation.
Once she received the letter, DR..
Neither says, there was relatively
little difficulty in arriving at the
correct physical explanation. Barium
was an element of about half the
atomic weight of uranium. In some
way the uranium atom had been
split in two and the implications
were so Stupendous that they
dwarfted Imagination.
DR.. Neither wrote to her nephew
in Copenhagen. For some years he
had been working in the laboratory
of DR.. Nils Bohr, one of the worlds
foremost authorities on atomic
physics and the two agreed to the

Davis School Addition
Inspected by Haycock
And Board Members

Supt. of Schools Robert L. Hay.
cock, Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., AS.
sistant Engineer Commissioner, anc
members of the Board of Education
yesterday visited the new addition
to the Davis School, Forty-fourtk
place and H street Sc.
The first floor Of the new building
has been completed and approxi-
mately 200 of the $50 Davis school,
children will move into the building
next Monday. The present tempo.
|rary building, which is occupied by
approximately $50 children, will be
used for three classrooms only.
The officials indicated their salts
faction with the structure, and ex-
pressed the hope the second floor OF
the building might be completed dur
ing the next year or so, so that the
adjacent temporary building might
be abandoned completely.
Because Of overcrowded conditions
in the temporary building, pupils
have been attending on a double
shift of staggered hours. The new
oulldlng Will permit the pupils to at
tend on a full-time basis.
The first floor contains five COM
pleted classrooms.
Mr.. Haycock and board members
were impressed with the modern fea-
lures of the building, including
glass-block windows, austral sashes
and univent heaters. These features
permit a greater ventilation and
better lighting conditions.
District officials are seeking $685.
600 appropriation to permit compile
ton of six more classrooms on the
second floor.
School board members attending
were Melvin Sharpe, Mrs. Philip
Sidney Smith and DR.. Robert A
Maurer.

Christmas reunion at some point
about halfway between Stockholm
and Copenhagen.
So DR.. Neither and the nephew,
DR.. Otto Robert Frisch, met at the
country hotel at Kungalo and dis
cussed the letter from Germany and
its stupendous implications.
Bohr Comes to Washington.
DR.. Frisch. returned to Copen-
hagen and told DR.. Bohr of the &C
compliShment. DR.. Bohr came to
Washington. A little more than two
weeks later, at meeting of Amer
lean atomic physicists at George
Washington University, DR.. Bohr
told his story. At about dawn the
next morning the first definitely OBJ
served assure of the nucleus of the
uranium atom took place at the De-
partment of Terrestrial Magnetism
of the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington A little more than six
years later, the first atomic bomb
was dropped over Japan, essentially
bringing an end to the war.
But it all started at a Christmas
dinner. This hitherto undisclosed
bit of scientific history was told
by DR.. Neither today at the home
OF her sister, Mrs. Rudolph Alters,
4212 Tenth street NE. She ar
rived in Washington last night. Be-
ginning Wednesday, February 6, she
will start classes at Catholic Uni
|versity on the general subject of
nuclear physics.
The kindly, middle -aged woman
today disclaimed any opinions as to
the social and political implica-
lions of her work and the destruc-
tive force that has arisen from it.
Her interests are still in pure nu-
clear physics.
