Richberg Rides Against F.E.P.C.

Washington (LPA)-Donald Rich berg, well-known lawyer who claims credit for breaking the 1o46 railroad strike, is now on record defending Americans constitutional right to dis criminate in employment because of difference in religious beliefs.
 Lighting fires of religious conflict" through attacks on permanent FEPC legislation was attacked by Co-C Chair man Allan Knight Chalmers and A. Philip Randolph in an answer to Rich berg last week.
 Richbergs assertion "will have the effect of strengthening the support which all major religious groups have given fair employment legislation and the Ives-Chavez bill in particular" the permanent FEPC advocates predicted.
 "One of MT. Richberg's law clerks could have told him that the bill does not attempt to legislate against re- ligious beliefs nor against prejudice, which is an emotion in the minds of men. It simply provides safeguards against the expression of prejudice in acts of discrimination which would deny or limit employment on account of race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry. It cannot be compared with prohibition, but it can be com pared with the laws against driving while drunk"

equal work, as now is the case in th' teaching profession.
 Even those few teachers who are members of the A. F. of T. have trouble in adjusting their professional notions to the de- mands of the trade unionism, as witness the recent A. F. of T. convention which, on the very day the Taft-Hartley labor law went into full effect, wrangled over the question whether de- mocracy is ''well'' or ''best'' served by the common public school. And there is no escaping the fact that the convention delegates were much more con- cerned about the alleged sectari- an encroachment in the field of public education than about the miserable wages paid to Negro teachers in the South.
 Of all white-collar workers, ap parently public school teachers, who are most in need of unionization, art the last suited for the responsibilitie of a free trade unionist. Obviously this situation has portentous implica tions for the kind of social teaching American children will receive.

Tubercu|ar Veterans TO Gel
COMPENSATION Two Years

Veterans released from hospitals
with arrested pulmonary tubercu-
losis will get fuH, disability compen-
sation hereafter for two years in
stead of six months, under a new
policy announced by the Veterans
Administration today.

the necessity of further hospitaliza-
ton by providing the patients with
more money to live on.
Patients are given up to two years
after discharge in which to recover
at home before taking jobs, but the
agency requires they undergo physi-
cal examinations every six months.
officials estimated TOO veterans
will benefit from the new program,
which will cost about $500, 900 more
a year. The average patient dis
charged on a totally disabled basis
receives .$138 month, the agency
said.

District, Guard al Odds
Again on Revenues
From Armory Rent

The unsettled issue OF whether
the District National Guard can re-
tain funds realized by rental of the
guard armory has cropped up again
with the signing of a contract be-
tween the guard and George Wash
ington University students.
Under terms of the agreement,
the university pays the Guard 5000
for use of the armory for its home
coming dance November l. If STU
dents fail to round up 500 recruits
for the Guard by December l.
District Auditor A. R. Pilkerton
said today, however, that the Guard
would be required to deposit the
money with the District govern
ment since, in his opinion, such
funds are considered District reve-
nue..
Cox Disagrees on Revenue.
Brig. Gen. albert L. Cox, head Of
the Guard, does not agree. He said
today such funds are National
Guard revenues.
Any funds realized from public
use of the armory will be deposited
with the Guards property and dis
bursting officer, Gen. Cox added.
He pointed out that he was in
terested in eventually making the
armory pay for itself through such
activities He said the Guard unit
was anxious to pay for the armory's
maintenance, which he has estimat-
ed at $209,000 a year, including
heating and custodial services.
West Leaves Matter to Auditor.
CORPORATION Counsel Vernon E.
West said it was his of1hand opinion
that armory revenues were District
revenues. However, he has not
made q formal ruling on the ques-
ton. Its, still a matter between
the auditors Office and the Guard" p"
Mr.. West said.
Mr.. Pilkerton claimed there was
no law on which the Guard could
base its contention that funds real
lied from outside use of the armory
were private revenue.
He insisted the District had no
of "seizing" the funds.
Mr.. Pilkerton pointed out that
the armory was built with public
funds at a cost around $2,700,000.
The question may not be finally
settled until Congress takes action
on bill introduced just before it
recessed for the summer. 1t au-
thorizes the District Commissioners
to rent the armory to outside inter-
ests and to place money realized in
the Treasury to the credit OF the
general fund of the District.

Commissioners Grant
3 Rezoning Pleas in
Montgomery, Deny 7

The Montgomery County Com
missioners yesterday approved nine
rezoning petitions and denied two
at hearings in the Liquor Dispensary
Building, Silver Spring.
A 18th petition, filed by Brooke
Johns, president of the board, was
withdrawn by Mr.. Johns after ne
said he forgot to post the required
rezoning notices on his property.
He had sought the reclassification
of six lots on the west side OF
Brookeville road near Olney from
residential A to commercial D.
Among the applications on which
favorable action was taken was one
by the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
rezone part of the Corby tract on
the Rockville pike near Bethesda
from commercial D to residential A.
Site Rezoned In 1916.
The site was rezoned to CONNER
cial in April, 1916, to permit con-
struction Of a $4,000 600 hotel. At
that time, however, 1t was provided
that the land be returned to resi-
Dental A If no development was
started within specified time,
which now has expired.
The application to rezone the
Corby tract to commercial last year
was filed by Diplomat Properties,
Inc, of which H. S. ziegler, Timber
vile. Va, Is president. Benjamin
Fields, who figured in the Carson
munitions investigation in Congress
last year and the subsequent
Carson May trial, was a stock
holder in the corporation, according
to G. Calvert Bowie, Bethesda, who
represented the applicant.
Mr.. Bowie said that as far as he
knows Diplomat Properties still has
title to the tract.
Denied was an application by Gary
H. Smith for the reclassidcation from
residential A to apartment house use
of two lots on the west side of Suth-
erland road between Old Bladens-
burg road and Underwood avenue,
-Four Corners. [
Also denied was a petition by L. I.
and r. B. Sheeby, 310 Ethan Allen
avenue, Takoma Park, for the re-
zoning of their property from resi-
Dental C to A. The commissioners
decided, however, that the property
be rezoned residential B. since the
house is occupied by two families,
according to the recommendation OF
the planning commission.
