North RandIe Unit Names
Three 10 Study Sales Tax

After debating q proposed sales
tax for the District, the North Ran
die Community Citizens Association
last night appointed a committee
to study the matter.
Kenneth G. Read, speaking against
the sales tax, contended residents
near the District line would trade
in Maryland or Virginia to avoid
the tax. He suggested a Govern
ment supervised lottery.
Mrs. Pratt J. Chroniger proposed
Government-supervised horse rae
ing, saying revenues from this source
would eliminate the necessity of a
sales tax. Charles A. Barker SAID
the sales tax has proved successful
in many Of the States. He favored
Endorsement.
Mr.. Read, Mr.. Barker and Mrs
Chroniger were named to a COM
mittee to study the issue and report
The group favored a three pla-
toon. system for the District Fire
Department. Mr.. Reed pointed out
the system would eliminate Ions
hours for flremen and would create
jobs for returning veterans.
A. J. Driscoll of the District Vel.
fare Board told the group the boare
SIS composed of men and women who
volunteer their services without pay,
and added that they are called or
ito render service at all times" He
outlined functions of the board.

|priceC Control ecIared
|UnworkabIe as Dry
Law by NAM Official
~ the Asseeie,sd Pres.

RICHMOND, Va. Mar. 14.-Ar-
thur Walsh, vice president Of the
National Association OF Manufac-
turers, today termed price control as
unavoidable as the Volstead Act and
just as detrimental in the long run
to individual freedom as was pro-
hibition."
The former Democratic Senator
from New Jersey said that although
people think of price control in
terms Of holding down prices and
are for It," in reality, price control
becomes "entangled and bound up in
the Enthusiastically interviewer eco
nomic life of our country"
In an address before regional
meeting OF the NAM, the executive
vice. president of Thomas A. Edison,
Inc, West Orange, N. j., asserted
that the OPA was managed to
create formidable public accept
ance of the necessity for the con-
tinuation of price control by play
ing on the public credulity with a
skilled and active propaganda estab-
lishment."
MI. Walsh contended that unless
Congress terminates the OPA or pro-
vides for its modification "produc-
ton will continue to lag and search
ties and their companion, black mar
kets, to increase"
He said the danger to :.free en-
terprise, as we know it," was very
real and contended that "a good
many people in this country-and
some of them in high places-feel
that this country would be better
of with managed economy"
He described free enterprise" as
the retention of basic freedoms of
decision and choice, of action and
initiative and of work and rest" He
added I'm production, trade, COM
merce and whatever you wish to
call 1t, basic freedoms are as in
herently fundamental as the four
freedoms held out as a goal to the
world during the war"
Mr.. Walsh warned that this Ma
ton was in transition state which
easily could result in a situation
which will end in a controlled econo-
my, a managed economy" He con-
tended that economic controls mean
political controls and the two to-
gether mean regimentation."

Congressional Drive
To Extend Draft Law
Gains After Army Plea
BY the Associated Press

A congressional campaign tt
extend the draft gained mo-
mentum today on the strength
Of the War Departments plea
for "a strong military posture in
a world which is still unsettled.
The plea was made yesterday at
a locked-tigh House Military AZ
fairs Committee meeting by Sec
Rotary of War Patterson, one OF
four witnesses the committee sum-
moned for last-minute data before
voting on the draft extension and
universal training.
Secretary OF State Byrnes reported
on the international situation; Gen.
Eisenhower disclosed Army plans for
total strength OF 100000 officers
and men by July l, l947, and Gen.
Carl Spaatz told of the Air Forces
need for 100000 men on that date
Tide Believed Reversed.
Mr.. Patteson's assertion that the
Army would have difficulty meeting
its obligations without extension of
the draft law, which expires on May
Is, and Gen. Eisenhower's personnel
figures won some committee mem
bers over to the administrations
side.
1T didn't hurt the cause of draft
law extension any" commented
Chairman May.
Mr.. May refused to say when the
committee would consider extension
Legislation, or to predict its fate,
but several colleagues said privately
they believed Mr.. Patterson and
Gen. Eisenhower had reversed the
tide of opposition.
Strong Recruiting Drive.
One member, however, told news
men, Il still believe we can attain
the goal set by Gen. Eisenhower
without extending the draft law. 1t
can be done If the Army will put
its heart into a recruitment cam
paign and II Congress will make en-
Eistments more attractive"
But hackers of an extension ex-
pressed fear that II the Draft Act
is not kept alive and the recruitment
drive fails to produce the required
number of men, 1t will be too late
to act.
"Once the draft law is allowed to
expire on May Is" a member de-
clared, you can write it of the
books for keeps. It will never be re-
enacted. II the Draft Act Is per-
mitted to die, we may come up to
July /, l947, with only a skeleton
Army"
Mr.. May has proposed. six
months extension, with exemptions
for all men under Il or over 30 and
for all fathers. The committee is
expected to act on his proposal be-
fore dealing with President Tru-
mans request for universal military
training legislation.

World Federation
Acting as a Whole
Backed by Douglas
BY the As.eeiot.d Pres,

WINTER PARK, Fla, Mar. H.
Because Of lack Of education, three
fourths of all the worlds people
would not be able to read the
Atlantic Charter or any other
charter even if you put it in their
own language" says Supreme Court
Justice William o. Douglas.
Justice Douglas made the state
ment to reporters yesterday in de-
claring that to preserve peace in
the atomic age, the present United
Nations Charter should be amended
so that the nations of the world
would be welded into a world fed
Grafton with powers to act as q
whole rather than as individual
sovereign states"
But to assure the success of such
a world organization, he said, "ons
of the most important program,
would be the education of the PEG.
pie" in the meaning and objective,
1 of the federation.
Justice Douglas is one of score
of prominent Americans who pro.
posed in resolution yesterday tina,
the United States take the lead
in promoting action to transform
the United Nations Organization
into world government"
UNO Not World Government.
THE UNO as now constituted, ;
the resolution said, lis league OF
sovereign states. AS such, it is not
a world government, and therefore
cannot by law prevent armed con-
flict between nations and establish
justice and security"
The conference Of scientists,
statesmen, businessmen, church.
men, educators, writer's and labor
leader Is being held at Rollins
College.
Justice Douglas, in answer to re-
porters' questions, outlined this con-
ception Of a world organization
capable of guarding the peace:
/. A federation of nations mod
eled on the federation OF states OF
this country.
Before our Constitution was
formed" he said, I'VE had 10 sep
arate sovereignties--each a law unto
itself. And before our Constitution
was established there were only two
methods of settling disputes be-
tween sovereignties anywhere in the
world-either by law or diplomacy.
I'm this country we substituted
law"
2. A world court" that would
eventually be modelled on the
United States Supreme Court"
Would Preserve Liberties.
8. The nations of the world would
have to give up some of their sover-
eighty to the world organization "but
no personal liberties would be sacri-
f1ced-I think such an organization
would create peace which adds to
the individuals freedom and Sc
curity."
4. It would be very important
that we have an international bill
of rights"
II think" he said, that if you had
a world organization that repre-
sented the peoples of the world it
could settle differences.
There's a great difference be-
tween a world organization that
represents the peoples of the world
and one that represents the nations
of the world"
S. Finally, there should be world
police force" to enforce the laws.
