The President, accepting the res

accept the thesis which you put

I refuse to believe that you are
getting stale on the job and I feel
that the public will be the loser in
your determination to retire"

Beach Expert Reveals
Study Of Sand Grains
Aided Invasion Plans

knowing only the size of its sand
particles, Allied intelligence was
able to determine accurately the
slope OF an enemy-held beach
chosen for invasion, Mrs. Clara S.
Edmunds, associate geologist of the
Beach Erosion Board of the Army
Engineer Corps told the American
Shore and Beach Preservation So
ciety today.
Addressing the opening session of
the society's two-day annual meet
ing at the Academy of Sciences
Building, Mrs. Edmunds said the
Allies knew from experience that
the larger the sand grain, the
sleeper the beach slope. This knowl-
edge, she pointed out, was invalu-
able in selecting landing points for
an amphibious attack.
War Work Was Secret.
Mrs. Edmunds' talk revealed for
the first time the heretofore secret
war work of the Beach Erosion
Board. She described how the
board worked out strategic and op-
irrational beach intelligence reports
for the joint chiefs of staff.

NFFE Asks Congress
To Restore 2O% Raise
To Federal Pay Bill

Assailing what 1t termed the Gov
ernment's "penny-wise, pound-fool-
ish wage policy the Executive
Council of the National Federation
|of Federal Employees today called
on Congress to restore the provisions
Iof the original 20 per cent Federal
pay bill.
The council, at the opening of its
annual session at NFFE headquar-
ters here, expressed dissatisfaction
with the II per cent wage increase
for Federal workers voted by the
House Civil Service Subcommittee
yesterday and urged that the 20
per cent provision be restored to
the original bill when it comes up
for final action by Congress.
The NFFE, which lists approx
mately 10000 Government employees
among its members, also asked that
the legislation be. made effective
retroactive to January /, 1916. Union
officials pointed out that most wage
contracts recently signed in pr. ate
industry feature retroactive clauses.
Increased Living Costs Cited.
In urging a 20 per cent fiat wage
increase for Federal workers, the
NFFE declared that anything less
than that figure will not enable
Government workers, under present
circumstances, to maintain "recog-
nized American living standards"
due to increased living costs. The
union, however, stressed that this
was not the only factor in its plea
for higher wage rates.
Important though that consid-
Grafton certainly is, the Congress
cannot fail to take cognizance of
the vital primary factor of the well
fare of the public service as a
whole" the councils report declared
The report asserted that as a re-
suit of the present Federal wage
policy the Government daily is los
ing the services of top-f1ight ad-
miniStrative and professional en-
ployes who no longer can afford
the heavy personal sacrifice en-
tailed"
This is matter bearing directly
on the progress, the well-being, and
the security of the Nation, and
halfway measures will not meet the
situation" the NFFE report as
serted.
The union also asked that the
new grades provided by the House
subcommittee for scientific per-
sonnel be extended to cover admin
istrative and other professional po-
sitions. The committee voted to
raise the present $4,000 Federal
wage ceiling to $4,000 a year to
Government scientists, en-
gineers and technicians who are
engaged in work vital to national
defense.
Temporizing Would Be Tragic"
THE goal of completely efficient
administration cannot be attained
under the present ceilings and it |
would be no less than tragic to |
temporize in the legislation now
before Congress-" the report de-
clared.
Members of the council include |
Of NF'FE locals from
every section of the country. Pre-
siding at the sessions are Luther
c. Steward, president, and Gertrude
secretary-treasurer, of the

Sharpe Calls for Halt
In 'Ersatz' BuiIdinq
Plans for Schools
By Marion Wade DoyIe

G. Melvin Sharpe, Board of Edu-
cation member, has asked the muni-
cipal architect to stop planning
"ersatz" schools of modern design
and go back to the Georgian style
suitable to southern CITY,"
Mr.. Sharpe's request, made at
a board meeting yesterday, was
seconded by Jere ]. Crane, assistant
superintendent in charge of build
ings. The permanent buildings
proposed for the next few years ap-
pear to him too similar to the
temporary war structures which the
District was forced to accept under
wartime conditions.
Now even these permanent build
ings are being planned inadequately
like a man wearing shorts instead
of pants" Mr.. Crane said.
Building Committee to Meet.
The boards Committee on Build
ings will meet in few days to study
plans for two new elementary
schools. and Mr.. Sharpe threatened
to send the blueprints back for re-
vision if they are ugly, gray, fat
and overly utilitarian. He likes
red brick. and white column and
towers, like the buildings that help
make the South charming, he said.
The board reopened the long
discussed question of site for the
Sousa Junior High School by asking
the Commissioners to go back to
the original plan for a seven-acre
school and playground at Thirty
seventh street and Ely place Sc.
After several months of negotia
tion, TIE Commissioners had settled
on a plan to put the school on three
acres on the south side of Ely place
and the playground across the street
in Fort Dupont Park.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission had already
consented to this plan, but on the
advice of DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
new school superintendent, the
board decided to reiterate its orig
inal request for seven full acres.
No Credits to Girl Cadets.
The board also decided not to give
girl cadets credit for their cadet
work until their activity is com
parable" to the boys close -order
drill, map work and rifle drill. 1t.
Col. William E. Barkman, professor
of military science and tactics, al
ready has indicated that the girls
will never be asked to carry
rifles or perform close-order drill.
Taking time from the usual Off
cial routine, the board members de-
cided to give high school diploma
TO a war hero, 1t. Comdr. Joseph K.
Taussig, jr., who has long been i'll
in the naval hospital at Chelsea,
Mass. Comdr. Tassig left Western
High School after only three years
to go to a preparatory school for
the Naval Academy.
Comdr. Taussig is the son of Vice
Admiral Joseph K. Taussig. Admiral
Taussig, also Western graduate,
won the first Allison Nailor medal
given to the winning cadet captain
in the annual high school competi-
tive drills.

New Farm Parity Plan
Would Upset Price
.Curbs, Anderson Says

Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son has warned the House Labor
Committee that the Pace parity
rider to the minimum wage bill
"is bound to have an upsetting ef-
feet on the entire stabilization and
price-control program and may
have "a very disturbing effect" on
the program to help relieve famine
abroad.
The formula submitted by Rep
resentative Pace, Democrat, of Geor-
gia provides for including an allow
ance for all farm labor at wage
rates paid to hired farm labor, in
calculating the parity index.
Wants Farmers Views.
In a letter to Chairman Murray,
Mr. Anderson declared:
TT should never be passed until
the farmers of this country have a
chance to say, and say clearly,
whether they desire to have any
tampering with formula which has
improved their lot by obtaining for
them measure of equality with
other sections of our population" !"
The Secretary pointed out that
what farmers want is a sound sup
port program which will assure them
Of reasonable prices over the years
ahead rather than an inflationary
whirl during the next two years
followed by a severe deflation and
the failure of the support price
program" ..,
Three basic commodities, corn,
cotton and wheat, are now at parity
level and enactment of the Pace
bill would require an upward re-
vision of ceilings by about one
third, Mr.. Anderson said. This, in
turn, would result in a ceiling rise
in nearly all other crops and live
stock, he added.
Would Wreck Program.
"A new round of wage demands
would, of course, be generated and
the whole stabilization and price
control program wrecked" he wrote.
There also would be the tempta-
tion of farmers to hold back their
grain pending final enactment of
the bill, thus delaying grain ship
ments to needy areas, Mr.. Anderson
pointed out.
The Secretary's letter was written
week ago, but was not made pub
lie until late yesterday. Earlier
this week, Mr.. Anderson expressed
opposition to the Pace measure at
a news conference in Kansas City.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia took exception to the Secre-
tary's stand and called for a "house

Hastie Tells Senators
He Left War Post Over
Segregation Policies

Members of Senate subcommit-
tee considering the nomination OF
Judge William H. Hastie, dean of the
Howard University Law School, to
be Governor of the Virgin Islands
questioned hi mcolsely today about
the reason for his resignation dur
ing the war from the post of civilian
aide to the Secretary of War.
Judge HaStie, who was in charge
of Negro problems for the War De-
partment. read into the record, at
the request of Senator Brewster,
Republican, of Maine, the letter of
resignation in which he charged the
Army Air Forces with discrimina-
ton against colored soldiers. Judge
Hastie had charged the AAF with
"reactionary and discriminatory"
policies in segregating colored troops
and providing separate school for
their pilots at Tuskegee, Ala.
In response to questions Judge
Hastie said he could not hold Secre-
tary StimSon, Undersecretary (now
Secretary Patterson or Gen. George
G. Marshall, then Chief of Staff, en-
tirely responsible for these policies
because their other wartime duties
were too heavy.
Had Discussed Conditions.
"That is very serious indictment
against them," Senator Brewster
commented, ito say they were not
responsible for such matters of
policy"
Did you discuss the matter with
them?" asked Senator Ellender,
Democrat, of Louisiana.
Judge Hastie said he had on oc-
casion, and had found them Sym
pathetically interested" But Mr..
Stimson and Mr.. Patterson did dis
agree with him on the question of
segregation, he added.
Despite complaints of the AAF at
the time that they were mot on
top" Judge HASTE said, his expert
ence had been that this branch of
the Army went pretty much it's own
merry way"
Since then, he told the subcom-
mittee, there have been a number
of most encouraging and helpful de-
velopmentS" along racial lines in the
Army.
Nothing Referred to Him.
Judge Hastie said he resigned be-
cause matters affecting colored SOL
diers, which were supposed to be
referred to him, no longer were, and
he felt he could not be helpful in
solving them.
Questioned by Senator Brewster
about the economic policies of the
Virgin Islands, where he served as
Federal judge before taking the
deanship at the Washington school,
Judge Hastie said the Virgin Islands
Co. had been formed in 1890 at
time when the people of st. Croix
Islands were facing starvation.
During his two years as judge
there, Judge HASTE said, many of
the people came to him with their
personal problems, and he felt that
he got to know them and their
fairly well. He also
pointed out that he served as as
sistant solicitor of the Interior De-
partment from 1924 to 1887 and hao
many matters concerning the Virgin
Islands referred to him.
Judge Hastie explained he was
born in Tennessee of parents who
were school teachers and was gradu-
ated in liberal arts from Amherst
and from the Harvard Law School.

Continued From First Page.)

increase in pay and allowances for
all military personnel.
Gen. Eisenhower suggested that
Legislation extending the draft con-
tain these restrictions:
A prohibition against service for
more than 18 months.
A requirement that no more men
be inducted than are necessary to
meet estimates of strength required
by July l, 1947.
A stipulation that the Army dis
charge all fathers now in service
and decline to induct any in the
future.
Gen. Eisenhower told the commit
tee that strength is necessary to
support the position of the Allies in
the United Nations Organization
and said the smaller nations are
looking to the larger ones to supply
that strength.
Disagree on Shortage.
While Gen. Eisenhower said the
shortage in manpower requirements
of the Army would be 165, 1000 by July
l, 1947. Mr.. Patterson estimated the
shortage at 10000 men if the draft
law is not extended.
The Secretary said present Army
strength is about 2,500,0O0, with a
net reduction of 100000 expect
ed between now and next June.
He said the War Department intends
to continue a vigorous recruitment
program. Already there have been
$4,000 enlistments, more than half
of them for a three-year period, he
added.
The top Army men were also to
appear before closed session of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
to testify on the draft extension:
Secretary of State Byrnes and Sec
retary of the Navy Forrestal also
may be heard.
Favor Six-Month Extension.
There is strong sentiment in both
Senate and House committees for
a six-month extension. However,
some members advocate restricting
any renewal to July of this year.
A possible compromise being con-
sidered by House committee mem
bers would extend the law for six
months, limit service liability to 18
months for new inductees and boost
pay of enlisted Army and Navy per-
sonnel in an effort to spur enlist
ments so the flow of manpower
would continue when the draft
lapses.
House committee members have
indicated a willingness to go along
with the requested pay increase, but
only provided the increases are linn
tied to enlisted personnel.
