week called on Governor Rob

10 end segregation of colored
sob applicants at the Winston
Salem office OF the state em-
ploymcnt service where they are
confined 10 a basement with an
alley entrance.
The labor departments action
was based on complaint from
Winston Salem. Although col
ored persons are IS per cent of
those using the office, they are
barred from other floors II was
charged There are 20 white
workers serving the other floors,
il was stated. and they handle
only 25 per cent of the appli-
cants There are IL workers
handling the colored load
The letter to the Governor
was written by Clarence Nit
chell. NAACP labor secretary
who stated that:
The NAAcP has vigorously
opposed return of the employ
ment service TO the states be-
cause il anticipated that this
type Of discrimination would
be on the increase once the
facilities were haded over 10
local control. However. II Is
more deplorable because this
unjust practice is being car
ried on with the support of
Federal money.
We call upon you 10 put an
end 10 this practice and to per-
NIT all citizens free access 10

inato.y basis. We also ask that
a careful investigation be made
TO see that there is no discrim-

Father McManus Advises
| Teachers 10 Join Union
By the Associated Pres.

BOSTON, April 11.--Public school
teachers were advised yesterday by
a leading Catholic educator to join
a bona fide free trade union"
The Rev. William E. McManus OF
Washington, d. c., coupled this ad-
vice with an attack on the National
Educational Association for anti
social and anti-Democratic policies
He told the 44th convention of the
National Catholic Educational AS
sociation that even though teachers
were underpaidt and school children
in many States were being de
prived of decent educational oppor-
tunities" the NEA was blocking
Federal aid to education
Denouncing the NEA for refusing
to support an amended Taft bill
providing Federal grants to help
non-public schools as well as public
schools, Father McManus said:
"The NEA wants all the funds OF
nothing"
The associations panel on juve-
nile delinquency heard Edward A.
Tamm, assistant FBI director, blame
the indifference of adults and the
fact that .'the world has lost its
sense of sin" for the rising crime
rate.

cording to the policeman, who said
he did not know to whom he was
talking, Justice Murphy said:
rs it the usual procedure here
to arrest and deprive of their liberty
a person charged with misde-
meanor? I have presided in some
Jurisdictions where this isn't so.'
The policeman explained to JUS
tice Murphy that Miss Steinmar
was required to post collateral, in
stead of being given ticket for a
later court appearance, because she
lived outside the District. The dis
cussion was extremely friendly ano
amiable, he said today
Yesterday Justice Murphy hap
pened to stroll by the Pennsylvania
avenue and Fourteenth street inter-
section and saw his new acquaint-
ance of the previous evening. Pvt

arms at intervals as he expressed

bills Authorize Aid
For Park Systems

Washington's park system and the
parks of nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia would receive additional Fed
eral aid under companion bills just
introduced in the Senate and House.
The bills would authorize the In
terror Department, through its Ma
tional Park Service, to pay up to
so per cent of the cost OF State
park projects as we'll as those Of the
District, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
| Eighty per cent of the money ap-
propriated under the bill would be
| paid on the basis of population
while 20 per cent would be allotted
on the basis of area.
The bills were introduced by SEN
ator Pepper, Democrat, of Florida
and Representative Peterson. DEM
ocrat, of Florida. They have been
referred to the Public Lands COM
mittees of both branches.
Whatever agency is empowered to
administer State park laws would
spend the money. In the case OF
| the District, this would be the office
lof National Capital Parks.
If the bill is enacted, aid for parks
/ in the Washington area would be in
addition to that already given under
the Capper- Cramton Act.
In the case of the District, how
ever. this act authorizes advances OF
money, not outright grants in aid
The money which the District has
received is paid back without inter-
est at a fixed annual rate

The jurist was Associate Justice
Frank Murphy and hes was set
straight on these matters by two

According to the policemen, Mr.
Murphy raised a point of law OF
whether Washington police have the
right to arrest and deprive per-
son Of his liberty if misdemeano1
has been committed. The whole
thing started Wednesday night, il
was said, when the driver of the
car in which Justice Murphy was

The driver, Miss Louise A. Stein

All Laboratory Tests
In Harvey Mystery
Listed as Negative

All laboratory tests to determine
the cause of Wynona Harvey's death
have been completed and all are
negative, Arlington County Coroner
w. C. Welburn reported officially
today.
Dr. Welburn said as far as he was
concerned the 25-year- -old Philip
pine Embassy secretary died by
drowning He has not yet decided
whether the drowning involved foul
play, accident or suicide. Eas.
The coroner's report leaves police
virtually where they started eight
days ago when the girl was found
lying face down in few inches of
water in Rocky Run near the
George Washington Memorial high
way. t v
DR.. Welburn said the decision on
how the girl died will depend on
further Investigations made by him
and the pDlice.
s A conference between police,
CommonWealth's Attorney Law
renee W. Douglas and DR.. Welhurn
to discuss the turn the case has
taken is expected later today and
may be followed by an announce
ment.
The coroner already has issued a
temporary certificate stating that
death was probably due to drowning
and he can amend that certificate
at any time but he did not indicate
when he would do so. The tempo
rary certificate was issued to release
the body for burial.
No Sign of Poison.
The laboratory tests, made in
Richmond by DR.. H. S. Breyfogle,
Virginias chief medical examiner,
and in Alexandria by DR.. Jefferson
Kernodle, State pathologist for
Northern Virginia, covered micro
scopic as well as chemical tests.
Technicians tested for wide range
of poisons, but found no indications
that the girl was poisoned.
Examination of the body also
failed to reveal any marks of vio-
lence or any indication that Miss
Harvey was suffering from a disease
which might have caused her sud-
den death.

Greeks Suffer Great Hordships
Because Of Money Depreciation

from those countries should be more
reasonably priced than those from
| the United States, England and
Switzerland. But actually they are
not, because Of unbelievably high
| import duties.
The Greek government, with an
eye on its rapidly dwindling treas
ury, feels compelled to put almost
prohibitive taxes on imports, even at
the risk of depriving its people of
many essentials.
In this particular case the govern
ment can hardly be blamed. It is
not easy for a country the size of
Greece to keep an army of 1,000, 900
men constantly under arms. The
Greek soldier receives about 10 cents
month. A brigadier general, who
has to provide himself and his
family with clothing and food, gets
| $50 month. The conscripted man
is better off, however, for he re-
ceives at least food, clothing, a small
ration of tobacco and is housed in
barracks.
The hardships are SO great in this
country that the people have become
greatly depressed. Their only hope
seems to be outside help, which they
hope will last long enongh to get
Greece back on its feet.
The laid to Greece" bill now be-
fore Congress is the sole topic of
discussion among the politicians, as
well as among the cafe crowds which
gather every day. Doubtless, too,
it is being discussed in every Greek
village.
The peasant servant of a friend
of mine asked him a few days after
President Truman made his historic
statement:
"Will we have to queue up for the
American dollars like we do for
bread, or will there be an easier
method of distribution?"
