was speaking and where scenes
of hysterical rejoicing were be-

Leaders Hail Vote
DR.. Chain Weizmann declared
that the decision to establish a
Jewish state is a victory for in
ternational equity and coopera-
ton" and said that ''it is now our
primary task to establish relations
of peace and harmony with our
Arab neighbors and to contribute
what we can to the regeneration
of the Middle East and the well
fare of mankind" DR.. Emanuel
Neumann, president of ZOA,
hailed the action of the United
Nations as "a great moment in
Jewish history, triumphant vim
dication of the Zionist ideal at
the hands of the highest interna-
tional tribunal, which holds the
promise of national freedom and
early independence"
Arabs Angry
While Jews rejoiced, Arabs
were angry and threatening. Lead
ers of delegation of Arab states
arose in the U.N. Assembly to an
nounce that they will not recog-
nize thei partition decision, that
it is unjust and contrary to the
Charter of the United Nations,
that they will not cooperate in its
implementation and that if there
is any bloodshed between Jews
and Arabs the U.N. members who
voted for partition should blame
themselves and not the Arabs.
It seemed at times as if parti-
ton had a slim chance of obtain
ing the two-thirds vote necessary
for approval. When the Assembly

Hits Maryland Plea

The Washington Chapter of the
recently formed Americans for
Democratic Action today urged suf-
frage for the District and attacked
the "effrontery" of the Maryland
LEGISLATURE in asking for a District
sales tax.
Edward D. Hollander, chapter
president, said the organization
unanimously indorsed the chapters
recommendations for local self
government and national representa-
ton for the District.
Criticizing the Maryland Legis-
1ature's resolution concerning the
proposed sales tax for the District,
the chapter stated:
"The only excuse for such action
is to protect Maryland merchants.
The legislature knows that the use
tax which it passed to protect them
will not work"

ing of more than 500 members, was
formerly associated with the Union

affiliated with Americans for Demo-
cratic Action when that new non

Books jammed full of notes have
had no part lately in the education
of 2s-year-old George M. Ferriter.
While his classmates at the Gen.
tral High School Veterans Center
have crammed for exams from vol
luminous notebooks, Mr.. Ferriter
has had to rely either on what
he remembered or what he could
get from textbooks. At exam time,
he took oral tests from his teachers.
Mr.. Ferriter, who lives at 6143
Kansas avenue NE, wasn't able to
take notes during classes. During
the war. his left arm was blown
of and his right arm almost
paralyzed.

The Veterans Administration
came to the rescue yesterday with
new type of recording machine
the Audograph-that will enable
Mr.. Ferriter to take notes" It'll
be too late for Central, because Mr..
Ferriter will be among 176 veterans
who will finish courses at the center
tomorrow. But the veteran expects
the recorder to come in handy next
fall, when he plans to enroll at
George Washington University.
During classes, Mr.. Ferriter will
be able to whisper notes-so softly
that students sitting few feet
away can't hear them-into small
microphone that records his voice
on a plastic disc. For more COM
plete record, the microphone can be
placed on a teachers desk to pre-
serve an entire lecture.
The 8-inch disc, which is only
1/100th of an inch thick, records 80
minutes of speech on each side. A

Gael Sullivan, executive director
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, said one of the goals of the
meetings will be to renew the In
terest of the voters in their right to
vote"
He recalled that only IS 600 900 of
the S0,o00,000 Americans of voting
age cast ballots in national elections
last fall. The Democrats should try
to raise this to $4,000 600 In the 1948
elections, he declared.
Secretary of War Patterson and
Acting Secretary Of State Acheson
were invited to meet the visiting
national committeeman, State party
chairmen and vice chairmen.
Next Meeting, April 10.
The next meeting, April 10, will
be for representatives OF Maine,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Vermont. Secretary of the Interior
Krug and Secretary of Labor
schwellenbach will confer with that
group.
In the meantime the on-again.
off-again status OF Senator Pepper
in Democratic campaign plans
showed evidence of another possible
f1ip-flop.
The Florida Senator dined with
Mr.. Sullivan last night just four
days after the executive director de-
clared the National Committee had
no plans to call on either Senator
Pepper or former Vice. President
Wallace for help in next years
electioneering.
Their views are divergent to the
Presidents" was the way Mr.. Sulli-
van put it in radio interview last
week.
Senator Pepper brushed aside all
questions concerning the nature of
his meeting with Mr.. Sullivan, but
the latter's remark recalled the ac-
ton OF Senator Sparkman of Ala
bama last September in Withdraw
ing the sponsorship of the Demo-
cratic Speakers Bureau from a
series of campaign speeches Senator
Pepper And Mr.. Wallace had planned.
Senator sSparkman headed the
Speakers Bureau at the time.
White House Hint Seen.
Senator Pepper Immediately term
ed the Alabaman's remark a purge"
against believers in progressive
leadership"
But Senator Sparkman the fol-
lowing day said he considered both
his colleague and Mr.. Wallace good
Democrats" and hoped they would
speak for the party, which they
later did.
While the Florida Senator would
say only that he had grand time"
at last nights dinner. others who
attended the affair told reporter
Mr.. Sullivan had asked the Floridan
in for friendly chat"
In view of the previous reversal,
this touched off speculation. that
the acting party chief might have
been informed by the White House
he was off base in his implied slap
to the self described liberal wing
typified by Senator Pepper and
Mr.. Wallace.

Deficiency Bill Passes
House With Sb,48O
Restored for De- Play
By Robert K. Welsh

With a House amendment restor-
ing an extra $25, ,480 to the Recrea-
ton Department., District supple
mentary appropriations totaling
S4, 4,O61 ,265 are in the first deficiency
bill on it's way to the Senate today.
District items met no opposition
as the House passed the bulky gen.
eral deficiency bill late yesterday.
The single amendment raised the
Recreation Department deficiency
allotment to $63,700 and, according
to District officials would prevent a
sharp reduction in city playground
activities.
Besides the District administra-
tive items, the bill also would pro-
vide the following additional funds
for the institutions in or near the
District: $4,000 for salaries and
expenses of the Columbia Institu-
ton for the Deaf, $119,400 for
Freedmen's Hospital, $181,60 for
Howard University, SITS, 400 for the
National Institute of Health, and
$685. 800 for the National Cancer
Institute.
Use to Be Unrestricted.
The brief House discussion of
proposed District supplementary
appropriations for the fiscal year
ending next June 30 brought from
Appropriations Committee Chair
man Taber q statement that the
funds could be applied for any
period within the fiscal year. Their
use would not be restricted to the
months or weeks following final
enactment of the deficiency bill, he
explained.
This, according to Chairman
Koran of the District Fiscal Sub
committee of the Appropriations
Committee, gave assurance that the
additional $155 200 for District public
welfare expenses could be applied
retroactively to March /. The effect
would be to prevent a 20 pei cent
cut in District outlays for the poor,
aged and children's services as of
March l, committee officials ex-
planned.
Mr.. Horan submitted the amend
ment to increase the recreation
department supplementary appro-
priation from $38 ,220 to $63,70o. The
larger amount was in the original
bill and had been asked by the Dis
trict. Mr.. Horan said it had been
enormously reduced in the bill as
reported out by the committee.

Pro And Con on Subject
OF Public Hearings.

The point has been vigorously
presented to us as follows, Every
employe accused of diSloyalty
should be given the right to con-
front his accusers, and subject them
to cross examination" This con-
tention has obvious force, and
presents grave considerations to us.
Why have We been unable to accept
it?
In nearly all cases the Bureau
secures the facts for inclusion in
its reports from confidential sources.
many of them closely connected with
considerations sounding in national
security. We are advised by the
Bureau, that, in its experienced
opinion, practically none of the
evidential sources available will con-
tinue to be available to the Bureau
if proper secrecy and confidence
cannot at all times be maintained
with respect to the original source
of information, and that if the
source of such information is to be
disclosed-save in the exceptional
case-the Bureau can be of much
less service to the board in max
ing the essential basic investigation
In cases where sources of evidence
are not confidential, and disclosure
of sources, possibly with pertinent
oral testimony. will not tend to
hinder or impede the investigative
work of the Bureau. we will make
every reasonable effort to extend
the scope of the evidential source
disclosure, to the affected employe,
at the hearing. But it must be ap-
preciated that in the great majority
