Dancing Masters See Jitterbuq
Giving Way to Romantic Steps

The postwar dancing outlook is
that jitterbugging will give way to
slow romantic dancing, in the opin-
ion of Franklin Oakley, president of
the Dancing Masters of America,
which held regional meeting at
the Mayfiower Hotel yesterday. This
brought to Washington teachers
from Maryland, Virginia and Della
ware.
THE jitterbug interest is waning
except among the very young bobby
|soxers," Mr.. Oakley said.
But he pointed out that this type
of dancing will not fade out until
swing music creates new type of
dancing. This must be born Of the
public itself, he said, inasmuch as
dancing masters teach what the
public desires.
Mr.. Oakley sees the new trend

Iy the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 28.-The
Virginia CIO Political Action Com
mittee conference, comparing Byrd
ism" with Naziism and Fascism,
unanimously voted yesterday to
wage an energetic" campaign to
unseat Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia. "and what it described as
his sinister anti-Democratic ma
chine from Office"
The criticism of the Senator came
In a resolution in which the con-
ference delegates from throughout
the State also denounced Gov. Tuck
"for his proposal to the Virginia
General Assembly that State, city
and county employees in Virginia be
denied the rights of collective bar

The resolution called on the

ers In, Virginia and other Southern
States. He relayed to the confer
ence statement by CIO President
Philip Murray that as soon as the
national strike situation clears UP
he will give personal support to
Southern organizing activities and
political action efforts. .-
In Its resolution, the conference
declared it has been very obvious"
that Senator Byrd, through his
political machine in Virginia, is at
tempting to destroy the democratic
and American process of govern
ment and replace such form of gov
ernment with Byrdism.
"Byrdism Is, in many respects,
parallel to the teachings and prac-
tices OF Naziism and Fascism, in that
it denies "a free people," the citizens
of Virginia, the basic rights and
principles of free government as
expressed in the Constitution of the
United States, the Declaration of
Independence and the Bill of Rights.
Byrdism cuts sharply at the heart
of the basic freedoms of all Ameri-
cans as expounded by such great
Americans as George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry
and Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Compared With Hitler.
The resolution compared seven
steps taken by Senator Byrd, the
designer and master mind of Byrd
ism, with steps taken by Adolph
Hitler, the designer and master mind
of Naziism."
These steps were listed as the

of State, city, county employees and
voting machinery; Cypress the peo-
pie and block progress; limited con-
stitutional convention; August, 1945
Democratic primary voting fraud;

ernment, and aid and deny labor the
right to collective bargaining"
The conference delegates from
CIO local unions representing "65,-
600 Virginia wage earners" resolve to
pay respect and tribute to all men,

other officials in the State who were
elected to office by honest elections
and "who still advocate and support
the democratic form of govern

BISHOP WRIGHT
OUTLINES DANGER
Ri. Rev. Thomas H. Wright
Addresses Layman's
League Meet

The belief that the greatest
danger facing the world today was
not hostility to religion but indif-
ference to religion was, expressed
by the Rt. Rev. Thomas H. Wright,
bishop OF the East Carolina Do
cese, in an address before so mem
bers of the Episcopal laymen's
at a dinner meeting in the
house of st. James Episco-
pal church last night.
Speaking on the subject Christ
ianity in the World Today" Bishop
Wright called for "a re-dedication
of ourselves to the things we be-
lieve in"
II do not believe we can ever
have peace in the world unless
there are enough people every
where sincerely and truly wanting
it that way" he said.
We need more to go out into the
world and win men and then bring
them into the body of the church.
Only then can we have peace be-
cause the one and only hope OF
our world rests in the churches of
the land, the bishop pointed out.
Bishop Wright appealed for ga
rebirth" of belief which caused the
disciples of ages past to 60 out
into the world and preach what
they believed in.
1t is a task and an opportunity
for us to take the serious things
handed down to us from 1000 years
ago by IL laymen, he asserted.
May we once again catch the
spirit of these II men and see the
opportunities of the day and not be
found wanting, he said.
Represented at the meeting were
laymen of Episcopal churches
throughout Wilmington as well as
guests of other Episcopal churches
in eastern North Carolina.
Included among the guests were
former Bishop Thomas c. Darst,
The Rev. John Bonner, pastor OF
the Trinity church, Lumberton, and
arch-deacon Richard Sturgis OF
the diocese Of Eastern Carolina.

HINTON ATTACKS
TRUANCY RULES
State Welfare Department
Psychologist Questions
Attendance

Strong disapproval of rigid en-
forcement Of school attendance
laws SO as to compel retarded jul
veailes to attend primary school
classes with children several
years their juniors was indicated
yesterday by DR.. Ralph Hinton, the
State Department Of Welfare's top
child psychologist.
DR.. Hinton mentioned specifi-
cally the cases OF two 15-year-old
juveniles who were retained in
school despite the fact that they
have not passed the third grade.
As director of the welfare de-
partment's Division Of Psycholo-
gical and Psychiatric Services, he
spoke at the monthly luncheon for
UNI of the Young Women's Christ
ian association here.
In a dozen cases Of 4 Retarded
juvenile attending school classes
with pupils several years younger
than himself, DR.. Hinton declared,
he has recommended that the
child be dropped from school since
7de' is getting nothing mentally
OF. socially.
At the same time, he urged that
children who prove untitled for sue
cessful school book study not be
released altogether from the con-
troll of school authorities.
"Many Of these children are still
teachable, and they are a COM
munity responsibility, he assert
ed.
Urges Development
As a cure for average pupils in
the lower grades, DR.. Hinton urged
further development of vocational
and manual training in the school
system.
The mentally-subnormal child, if
forced to take school work beyond
his capacity, will fall behind, and
his resultant confusion may very
well produce such behavior prob
lens as lying, stealing and evertu-
ally delinquency, he asserted.
DR.. Hinton recommended COM
munity support of child guidance
clinics and Community aware
ness Of the way in which a young
child's behavior often carries an
indication of his probable actions
as an adult.
"Most of u.s., he pointed out,
follow the behavior patterns we
used as children"
For that season. he asserted, a
community should be aware OF
the need for prevention Of future
mental disturbances by recogniz.
ing that cit is wiser and more &c.
onomical to check them before
they can get started"

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL.
-P-Vice Admiral William
W. Smith, chairman of the

day told Senator Hoey (D-NC)
that a decision on disposition
Of the North Carolina Ship
Building yards, Wilmington,
n. c., will be reached next
week, probably Tuesday.
The North Carolina State
Ports authority has offered
the commission $1,200,000 for
the yards. R. B. Page, Ports Au-
tboritv chairman and Wilmington
publisher, said when the offer was
made that sales of surplus prop
erty by the authority would pay
for the yards.
Hoey said he learned from Smith
Thursday Of a proposal being made
BY a commission member fo- the
ward to be retained by the Mari
time commission.
He said he urged Smith to accept
the North Carolina offer on the
ground that the yard would be
kept in good condition and would

who want to continue to work there.

PRESIDENT USES
AXE ON AGENCIES
Last Of Price, Production
Control Units Swept
Out By Order

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-WD-
President. Truman Thursday swept
into the discard the price and pro-
duction control agencies which
regulated American economic life
through the war years.
BY executive order. he shifted
their few surviving functions to
a temporary government bureau
charged with completing the. final
transition from war to peace in the
shortest possible time.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
federal works administrator since
1911, will head up the new agencyu,
known as the "Office of Temporary
Controls" concurrently with his
FWA job.
The far-reaching order virtually
completed the liquidation of the
host of alphabetical agencies Great
ed by the late President Roosevelt
when the United States was strip
ping for war.
The only major agencies left UNI
touched were those connected with
housing, because Of the urgent need
for a continuing program in that
field.
Top agencies to get the presi-
Dental axe were the Office of Price
Administration, the Civilian Pro
duction administration, the Office
of War mobilization, and the Office
of Economic sterilization.
All four, together with their per-
sonnet, nov come under Fleming's
jurisdiction.
Chief job of the temporary con-
troll office will be to ration sugar
and control rents. Regulation OF
sugar and rice prices, the only
commodities still under federal
price control, also will be handled
by Fleming's agency.
Even those controls are slated
to expire by the end of March,
unless Congress votes to extend
them, as is likely in the case OF
rent control and sugar %rationing.
Mr.. Truman said no general rise
in rent ceilings is anticipated.
In addition, the OTC takes over
about a dozen remaining priority
and distribution controls held by
lCPA. All of those, except priori-
ties on building materials, are
scheduled to expire March 81.
