I'm doing what I've wanted te

Mrs. A. Bruce Fahnestock was
talking, and when that fabulous
woman opens her mouth, it pays
you to listen. This time her topic
was the st. Mary's Enterprise, re-
Gently purchased by her son, Col
Sheridan Fahnestock. It's just a
country newspaper" she said. "but
it'll be a daily some day. A good
one, we hope"
One of the few women past
prime who never have a dull mo-
ment, Mrs. Fahnestock long has kept
more irons in the fire than any
person I know. AS girl she wanted
to go to sea, explore far-f1ung places
and return home to write about
them. After her two sons were
grown, she did. Her book, Il Ran
Away to Sea at Fifty" written under
her maiden name, Mary Sheridan, Is
the result. For years she had a yen

background. A veteran of two wars
he has also been a South Sea ex.
plorer, a writer for the New York
Herald Tribune, and special ano
very secret emissary of the late
President Roosevelt.
Back in 1885, he was one of five
youths who sailed to the South Seas
in search of fora and fauna for the
American Museum of Natural His
tory. The quintet travelled on 65.
foot schooner, had more hair-rais-
ing experiences than any set OF
mariners in this century, but finally
returned home with such a COM
plete collection for the museum that
a second, similar expedition soor
followed, and was just as sensation
ally successful.
At the late President Roosevelt's
request, Fahnestock took off in the
spring of 1941 for Japan, China
Singapore and the Philippines. Pur.
pose Of the trip, according to the
announcement, was to record the
primitive music of those countries
His assignment actually was to OBJ
serve the attitude of the natives to-
ward the japanese and to make note
of their facilities of defense. Six
months later, Fahnestock was back
in America with a complete report;
shortly afterward, he was in uni.
form and on his way to the Pacific
front once more. His most difficult
wartime duty was serving as CHIEF
of plans, Transportation Corps, fol-
the Philippine invasion. Now out o1
uniform, he's looking for new worlds
to conquer. A man to watch l.

Fec 10 Hold HEARING
On PhiIco TeIeyision
Despite 'Withdrawa!

The Federal Communications
Commission has declined to act or
the request Of Philco Products, Inc.
that 1t be permitted to withdraw
without prejudice" its application
for authority to establish a COM
mercial television station here.
In letter to John Ballantyne
president of the firm, made public
by the FEC yesterday, Acting Chair
man Charles r. Denny stated the
commission planned to proceed on
the basis of its proposed decision
Of March Z which called for oral
argument on behalf of Philco Prod
ucts and the Allen B. Du Mont Lab
oratories, Inc. another applicant
after which the FEC would choose
between them. The argument will
be held April II, whether or not
Philco Products finally is permitted
to withdraw, Mr.. Denny wrote.
No Final Decision Yet.
I'm closing" Mr.. Denny con-
tinued, II should state that the
commission feels that the state
ment in your letter that 'Philco is
deeply shocked by the decision o1
the Federal Communications Com.
mission of March 7. 1916, with ref
erence to applications for construc-
ton permits for television stations
IN Washington, D. c., and other
statements in your letter, which was
released to the press, are misleading
in that they tend to give the
impression that the commission has
denied the Philco application ano
that the commissions proposed de-
cision of March Z Is a final deci-
sion."
Mr.. Denny pointed out Philcc
Products not only could oppose Du
Mont in oral argument but also
could file exceptions to the FCC's
proposed construction permit grants
to The Evening Star Broadcastine
Co.. National Broadcasting Co., Inc.
and Bamberger Broadcasting Serv.
ice, Inc.
Two Contenders Reach Agreement.
You can be assured that the
establishment of television service
will not be delayed if Philco elects
to proceed with it's application
rather than to withdraw without
prejudice" Mr.. Denny stated.
Earlier in the day, the Du Mont
firm released a statement by its
vice president in charge of tele:
vision, Leonard F. Cramer, com.
mending Philco Products on its de.
cision to withdraw and announcing
a cooperative arrangement between
the two firms. The statement re-
vealed Du Mont planned to make its
experimental station facilities at the
Harrington Hotel and those of Its
commercial station in New York
City available to Philco Products il,
return for use of the latter com
pany's point-to-point relay system
linking Washington, Philadelphia
and New York.
The relay developments of Philco
have been under way for some time
and have utilized the firms expert

Florida street in Arlington, Va.

Ross Honor Guest
1t Congressional
Club Yesterdav

Mrs. Jay LeFevre and Mrs. Cliff
ford Davis greeted the guests as
they arrived at the Congressional
Club yesterday for the clubs weekly
Friday tea. A feature of the party
was the brief talk given by Presi-
Dental Secretary Charles Ross,
whose subject dealt mainly with the
variety of questions asked at the
White House, either in press con-
ferences or by mail.
Press conferences, incidentally,
are held only in this country, the
speaker said, and many foreigners
are amazed at the frankness of cues
tions sometimes asked, even if the
answers are not always given.
Tea was served following Secre-
tary Ross talk, with Mrs. Chct Holi-
field, Mrs. Walter E. Brehm, Mrs.
Oren Harris, Mrs. Lawrence E. I'm
hoff and Mrs. Erland H. Hedrick
presiding alternately at the flower
decked tea table.
Mrs. Ross, as guest of honor, was
in the receiving line with Mrs. Har-
old Burton, president of the club
and wife of the Associate Justice.
Mrs. Ross chose for the occasion a
gray suit and small hat and Mrs.
Burton's American Beauty color
frock was worn with a large black
straw hat.
AS is her custom, the club presi-
dent sat with the guest of honor at
a small table in the dining loom,
where they were joined by Mrs.
Joseph Harrington, wife of the
Hawaiian delegate, who had intro
duced the speaker; Mrs. Jay Le-
Fevre, Mrs. Hal Holmes and others.
Conversation turned to discussion
Of the clubs plans for a gala fete
next Friday, when it's handsome
Hawaiian room will be dedicated.
Through the help and generosity Of
the Delegate and Mrs. Harrington,
as we'll as the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce, this room mas been ele-
gantly furnished in Hawaiian style,
with yellow and green as the color
motif. The party planned to mark
the occasion of its final completion
will be limited to two guests for
each member.

On the Other Hand
Says Atomic Warfare No Worse
Than Other Forms of Warfare

and sea and In the air, living in
shell-holes and fox-holes, dying far
from home or being ruined physi-
cally by injury and disease. It would
involve the destruction of home life
and civilized living in all parts OF
the world-including. this time, the
United States, for nobody is suggest
ing that rocket and other aerial
warfare be outlawed and nobody can
guarantee that our own peaceful
cities would not be on the receiving
end of such warfare.
Realistic Outlook.
This next war, if there is one
might not last as long as either of
the first two world wars. Complete
destruction or exhaustion of one
side might come sooner. But if
that is the principal end sought,
why not encourage atomic warfare
and get the next war over quickly,
regardless of whether anybody is
left anywhere to tell the story?
These questions are asked in all
seriousness and are based on a
realistic look at the whole business
of war, what it is like and how it
happens. The atomic bomb hasn't
added anything except a speedier
logical conclusion to the philosophy
out of which all wars grow, the
philosophy of nationalism, the phil
osophy of ourselves against the
world.
So, little if anything is to be
gained by outlawing the atomic
bomb. The men, women and chill
dren of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
were treated no more brutally than
the people of Tokyo, Yokohama and
other Japanese cities, on whom we
dropped our bigger and bigger
bombs; no more brutally than the
victims of Japanese bombers. 1t is
possible, in fact, that theirs was a
less painful annihilation than that
which came to the inhabitants of
other cities.
1t should be clear by this time
that 1t Is not atomic warfare that
must be outlawed, but war itself
And this surely can be done 1t can
be and it must be, if life on this
planet is to continue.
Time to Organize Now.
A group of first-class Americans
recently met in Florida to discuss
ways and means of assuring that
there shall be no next war. In
cluded among them were eminent
jurists, lawmakers, industrialists,
labor leaders. educators, scientists.
They are publishing now, in paid
advertisements, the result of their
thinking. In nutshell, they are
agreed that the time to start Or
ganizing world government, capa-
BILE of regulating relations between
nations, is now.
They would have the United
Nations transformed into such a
government, the present General AS
sembly to become the law-making
branch. The General Assembly
would have power to enact laws for
the control of weapons of mass de-
struction," to provide penalties for
violation Of its laws and to establish
and maintain an enforcement agen-
cy or police force.
The proposal, in general effect, is
not new. But presented by this di-
verse and impressive group on the
eve of the meeting of the United
Nations Security Council it may help
drive home the lesson that the
problem of total war cannot be met
with partial measures. The limited
authority of the Security Council
is about to receive a severe test,
unless an eleventh-hour evasion of
