Norfolk RequestsFund
To Match Increased
Public Welfare Costs
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. July 15.-The
State Department of Public Welfare
has received request from the Nor
folk County Board of Public Welfare
that it be reimbursed for money
spent on public assistance on the
ground that the State under the
Public Assistance Act of 1888 must
match funds spent by the localities
on assistance.
Arthur James. State commissioner
of public welfare, turned the re-
quest over to Attorney General A. P.
Staples for ruling and refused to
comment on the matter.
Mr.. James received the request
from w. L. Murphy, superintendent
of the Norfolk County Welfare
Board, who stated that because of
increased needs the county spent
during the last quarter of the
1945-46 fiscal year more money than
the original budget provided.
Mr. Murphy pointed out. how
ever, that the Public Welfare and
Assistance Aact of 1888 provides that
the State will match on the estab-
lished percentage basis all funds
spent by the localities for public
assistance and asked that this money
be forthcoming
A number Of counties and cities
in the State have advanced the
claim that the 1916 General AS
sembly failed to provide sufficient
funds to match money which tht
localities will spend during the COM
ing year
Mr. Murphy explained that his
county's budget for last year wa!
made before the war ended anc
that after hostilities ceased, public
assistance needs in his area rost
rapidly. He said the State allowed
some supplemental allocations tt
help meet the need, but that during
the last quarter the State Depart.
ment Of Public Welfare did not have
the funds and the locality had tt
meet the need alone.

Slow Mental Cures
Laid 10 'Niggard|y'
Maryland Policy
sy the Assooio,ed Pres.

SYKESVILLE. Nd. July 15.-Mrs
Edith Stern, writer on mental hy-
giene problems. today attributed
fewer and slower cures affected
at State mental hospitals to mig
gardly appropriations granted such
hospitals by the State Legislature.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry at the 50th anniversary lunch
con of the Springfield State Hos
pital, Mrs. Stern said the State
spends 80 cents daily for the care
Of patients in mental institutions
as against $3.50 daily for tubercu-
losis victims ana $3.50 daily for
general hospital patients.
Gov. O'Conor. Dr. George H. Pres
ton, State mental hygiene commits
sioner, and other State officials
were invited to The luncheon.
Many modern specialized nursing
and therapeutic aids for curing
mental patients are "curtailed to
a minimum" Mrs. Stern asserted,
adding that such patients are thus
maintained by the State for un-
necessarily long periods.
At Springfield, she pointed out,
there are only three graduate nurses
and IA doctors for nearly 5000 pa
tients.
She attributed what she called
an even more critical shortage of
atten66nt tn 1orp bO,lrc mar
housing and lack of recreation facil-
tiles.
"A beginning salary of $3.50 plus
SIS a month war bonus. even with
room and board, for 48 hours work
a week will not attract people to
this work" she contended.
There have been times when
whole buildings had to be put in
charge of patients"

BALTIMORE, July l5.-A sugges-
ton that the New York, Newark
and Philadelphia wholesale fresh
food markets be bypassed has been
made to farmers in eight Eastern
States belonging to "a growers or
ganizatio affiliated with the Food
Producers Council, Philip C. Turn
er, council president, announced.
The announcement said the pro-
poSal was made without malice"
because the flve-day week in effect
in the wholesale markets in the
three cities causes Northeastern
growers Furnishing loss of perish
able produce every week end"
Since the fve-day week was in
augurated two years ago. Mr.. Turn
er said, many farmers have been
looking favorably toward some
method of bypassing the closed
terminal markets in the three cities
on Fridays and Saturdays.
AS a means of accomplishing this
the council has suggested the using
OF auctions as fob. shipping points,
making cooperative shipments with
the aid of broker, making better
use of the farmers squares and SELL
ing direct to retailers.
I 1--WE make these recommendations
in the knowledge that growers will
have to use them all week, not Just
on week ends. We make them hop
! ing they will mean more fresh pro-
duce for consumers more days of
the week"
Mr. Turner did not indicate when
the growers organizations. which he
said represent farmers in New York
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland
Virginia and West Virginia, would
act on the suggestion.
He said years harvest would be
wasted week end after week end
If action were not taken, pointing
out that such waste meant an un-
deserved financial loss for the farm
ers and shorter supply of fresh
fruits and vegetables for consumers

Wor|dContro|ot
Atomic Energy
Secretary Declares
Agency Is Last
Hope for Survival

Secretary of Commerce Wallace
declared today humanity could not
survive an atomic war and added
that survival and security can be
achieved only through world con-
troll of atomic energy"
1T is to be hoped that all nego-
tiators at the United Nations will
bear in mind that the only final
answer is world control" Mr.
Wallace said in a speech before an
Institute on World Control of
Atomic Energy"
The institute. sponsored by the
COMMITTEE on Atomic Informa-
ton opened its tWo-day meeting
in the Interior Department audi
torium as the House prepared to
start debate this week on legisla-
ton for commission to control do
mestic development of atomic en-
ergv.
A sharp fight is in prospect over
whether civilians only should be
named to the commission, as pro-
vided in a bill passed by the Senate
or whether the armed forces should
be represented as demanded by the
House Military Committee.
Mr. Wallace made only a brief
reference to that controversy. De-
claring that much time has been
wasted since the first atomic bomb
explosion a year ago tomorrow, he
added: We still do not have the
legislation providing for the peace
time development Of nuclear energy
under civilian control
Seek to Gain Time.
On the subject of world control
he asserted:
This must be our immediate pur-
pose-to gain time and provide a
secure base for considering the prob
lem of war itself The main factors
are Clear-there is no defense in
science against the atomic bomb,
just as there is no lasting secret"
Recalling that the State Depart
ment's report on control of atomic
energy was not to prevent or solve
the problem of war, but to avoid
the possibility of a surprise war
which could kill millions of people
in a night Mr.. Wallace said:
Il am in sympathy with those who
point TO the larger unsolved prob
lem of war itself. But l still believe
that the main immediate emphasis
should be on avoiding that state of
international panic which could con-
tribute so much to bringing on an
atomic war"
Urges Civilian Control.
Another conference speaker, DR..
Norman H. Dawes of the Carnegie
Institute of Technology, also ap-
pealed for civilian control of atomic
energy.
This, he said, along with free
dom for science and scientists in
nuclear research and internationally
zation of the newly emancipated
energy are the ways alone in
which democracy can be continued
and strengthened and the chances
for world peace furthered'
In telegram to the National
Committee on Atomic Information,
made public at the opening of the
institute. Harold L. Ickes, former
Secretary of Interior, proposed
world remuneration of the atomic
bomb. urging that the United States
stop making them and render i'm
potent those it already has.
Mr.. Ickes said such action would
be the most fitting celebration of

Controlling The
Floods Of Haired
BY RUTH TAYLOR

When the SHOWS melts on the far
off mountain tops and the spring
rains begin 10 fall, then those who
dwell by the great rivers watch for
flood waters. What may be life-giv-
ing streams 10 great parts Of our land
are devastating torrents to other sec
tions. Flood control is a vital sub
ject to those who dwell in the low
lands through which the rivers course
The government engineers have
made great strides in averting the
damage Of flood. They have built
great walls to wall off the rivers;
they have reforested great tracts of
land to absorb the excess water; they
have built great dams to hold back
the torrents and to control their flow
into other areas so they may make
fertile great wastes.
All this is most essential-but even
more necessary today is a system of
hate control AS the war fades into
the background, our unity of pur-
pose no longer seem vitally essential.
AS a result there is growing in this
land OF ours increasing hatred and
bitterness between groups. Shall we
let this flood warp and destroy much
Of what we hold dear?
We need to build walls of under
standing to hold the hatreds out. For
mutual understanding leads to mutual
trust and in trust there is no hate.
We need to reforest the SCARED
places in our minds-scars caused by
hatred, bitterness, despair, and intol-
erance-to reforest them with under
standing, compassion, friendliness and
love.
We need to dam back the floods of
hate with bulwarks of education-edu-
cation in positive democratic living, in
putting into practice in our everyday
life the things in which we believe.
We need to divert the stream Of
hate into useful channels, concentrat-
ing it on ideas andideologies, not on
peoples or races-hating only the evil
act or quality. Our hatred must run
between such concrete walls of our
wills, that we will not be guilty of
either injustice or intolerance to any
member Of any group merely because
of his race or creed or color, no more
than we would want him to be guilty
of these towards US. Thus and only
thus can we control the flood waters
of hate.

Printing Trodes
Ask Federal Tex
On Radio Ads

Washington - (FP).-Workers in
the printing trades industry have
joined in a campaign to bring about
a federal tax on radio advertising
on the grounds that radio chains and
broadcasting stations hold federal
franchise on which they pay no di-
rect levy, while devoting well over
threea quarters of their air-time to
commercial ii. e paid advertising)
programs.
The campaign is spearheaded by
the Intl. Allied Printing Trades
Assn. headed by Pres. John B. Hag
gerty of the Intl. Bro. of Bookbind-
ers (AFL). Associated in the cam
paign of the group are the Printing
Pressmen, Intl. Typographical union,
lntl. Stereotypers and the Intl.
Photo-Engravers, all of the AFL.
Some 10000 union members are
affiliated with the movement, and
are employed on newspapers, mag
azines, business papers and farm
publications, all of which have been
hurt by the development of radio
advertising since 1923.
Haggerty signed letter Feb. II
announcing the campaign to all in
terested unions" on behalf of those
dependent for our livelihood on let
terpress printing" 1t pointed out
that letterpress publications devote
at least half of their, pages to news
and educational matter, but compete
with form of national advertising
which, according to one case report
ed by the FEC devoted 871a% of
it's time to commercial programs"
The AFL official said that in
1923 that letterpress publications
carried 972h% of all national ad-
vertising, with radio chains and sta
tions getting only 2.2h%. But by
1912, when newsprint was plentiful,
he said, the radio industry had 5ump-
ed to 1870, while the letterpress pub
locations had dropped to $3.50 of the
total of national advertising.
Haggerty's letter sald the unus-
ually high profits of radio are "made
possible by the holding of govern
ment franchies from which the gov
ernment receives no direct monetary
benefits" and with a national debt
of $500 billion, his organization sug-
gested that the government SHOULD
collect a franchise tax from these
temporary holders of these govern
ment franchises and that such
moneys should be applied toward the
reduction of the public debt"
The letter said the legislation
should limit net profits to 1870 on
the actual cash investment, with a
limitation of mot more than ,OO0
for salary, bonuses, etc, to any one
executive"
