ofices and filled national party posts
He was elected Governor tof North
Carolina for the depression term,
1929-33. He made enemies during a
sturdy but futile fight to balance the
budget. Both capital and labor
turned against him as a result Of his
efforts to handle the big strikes of
the period.
When Mr.. Gardner retired as
Governor he refused to practice
law before judges whom he had ap-
pointed, and in 1888 set up offices
here. When he started local prac-
tice he resigned as a member OF
the Democratic National Commit
tee.
Rejected Post at First.
He was appointed Undersecretary
of the Treasury in February, 1916,
after serving as chairman of the
Advisory Board of the Office of War
Mobilization and Reconversion. The
Treasury post was Mr.. Gardner S
first salaried Federal job, although
he had been offered many. When
the ambassadorship first was prof
fered, he turned it down, telling
friends he could not afford 1t.
Besides his wife Mr.. Gardner is
survived by three children and five
grandchildren.
His son Ralph was going to Lon
don as his fathers aide, but when
Mr.. Gardner called at the White
House last week to bid President
Truman goodbye, he told reporters
the son would not be related to the
Government payroll either by blood
or marriage"
The Gardners had taken an active
part in the social life of Wash
ington for years.

bassador, had "rejoiced in Mr..
Gardner's appointment as Ambassa-
dor to my country, where he would
have received a warm welcome. His
death is great loss to us as well
as to you"
Son Of Country Doctor.
! Mr.. Gardner was born in Shelby
Marcn %, 1882, the son of a
country doctor. The father and
mother died early, leaving family
of twelve boys and girls. An elder
sister, Bessie, now dead. who later
was married to Senator Hoey, Demo-
crat, North Carolina, reared the
family.
Starting life as a poor boy, Mr..
Gardner acquired wealth as he
gained prominence, first locally, and
then on the national scene.
He worked his way through North
Carolina State College of Agricul-
ture and Engineering, hanging on
for year after graduation to cap
tain the football team. At that
time colleges had no objection to
tramp athletes"
He studied law at the University
of North Carolina, started practice
in Shelby and promptly got into
county politics. He was gregarious,
popular and competent. Money, in
huence and friends easily came his
way.
He founded and developed the
Cleveland Cloth Mills in Shelby,
which he sod recently for more
than 100000. His law practice
in Shelby became highly lucrative.
He had one of the most prosperous
law practices in Washington, repre-
senting large textile interests.
Named by Josephus Daniels.
He became a member Of the Board
of Trustees of his college three years
after graduation. A year or so later
Josephus Daniels, Raleigh publisher
and former Secretary of the Navy
recognized his political mettle and
had him appointed State organizer
of Democratic clubs.
/ Mr.. Gardner and Franklin D
Roosevelt met in the 1920s, and the
two became close companions In
New Deal days.

Congregations 70 End
Racial Segregation

The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ In America to-
day urged congregations throughout
the Nation to observe Race Rela-
tions Sunday this week end by re-
nouncing segre cation within
churches as out Of harmony with
"the New Testament ideal of Chris
tian community"
The statement was the first Of a
nine-point program issued by the
council as imperative steps" for
Christians both "as individuals and
as corporate churches" to take to-
ward achieving racial justice in the
Nation.
It said 10000 churches in A States
were expected to participate in the
observance of race relations Sunday
The Washington Federation OF
Churches said many churches in the
District would observe the event,
though the federation was not hold
ing a central service.
Among the measures urged by the
council were those calling for equal
employment opportunities of work
ers, regardless of color, creed or
national origin" and a guarantee OF
civil rights" to all.
The United Nations was urged to
seek "full justice and fair opportu-
nifty for dependent and colonial
peoples"
Other points called for opposition
to movements setting zone race or
group against another; abundant
employment and housing for all;
non-segregation in housing prac-
tices; encouragement of the other
persons cultural, national and racial
background and respect for the dig
nifty of the individual.

supervisors, viii be asked to appear.
Attempt TO End Coffee Hours"
An attempt to end coffee hours"
in the Government will be made by
the committee, 1t was disclosed to-
day.
The committee will request Fed
eral agency chiefs to end the
between meals coffee and ciga-
rette" practice Of some employees by
ordering Government cafeterias and
snack bars closed between meals.
Whether this can be done or not
remains problematical inasmuch as
some departments operate on stag
gered lunch shifts. The committee,
however, intends to ask bureau
heads to issue stern warnings
against the coffee practice in cases
where Federal lunchrooms can't be
closed for any length of time dur
ing the day.
The first indication OF the COM
mittee's plans came yesterday when
the special Senate subcommittee
headed by Senator Baldwin, Repub-
lican, of Connecticut, halted its
hearings on the operation of Fed
eral cafeterias by Government Serv-
ices, Inc, long enough to quiz
Commerce Department officials
about the "java time" sessions.
Probe in Interest of Economy.
Commerce officials said they are
doing all they can to stop the
practice. Other departments and
agencies will be notified either by
mail or telephone to remedy the
situation, committee members said
today.
The Committee reported it was
instigating the move in the interest
of more economy and efficiency in
the Government. The feeling seems
to be that thousands of work hours
are lost during the year because of
the coffee habit of some employees.
An official of Government en-
ployes' union here, who got wind
of the committees plan, said today
he favors it.
Federal workers are on enough
Of a spot already with Congress
without having to leave themselves
open on the coffee business" he
declared. "If we end this coffee
hour practice, we'll forestall lot
Of criticism and trouble"
The union leader pointed out,
however, that the committee made
no mention of ending coffee club"
activities on Capitol Hill.
IT don't see the difference between
the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment and the executive end"

task force.
Admiral Byrd declared that one oi
the most important discoveries
which would change present maps
in many places, was a pretty dog
goned good sized" bay running deep
inland on the eastern side Of the
Roosevelt Sea, with dimensions Of
180 by 100 miles and an area OF
about $4,000 square miles.
This bay, bordering the Walgreen
coast of Marie Byrd Land, was
found by Capt. George Dufek's east
ern group.
Admiral Byrd said the explora-
tions confirmed his 1910 report that
the Walter Kohler mountain range
ran north and south. The present
maps show it running east and west
Admiral Byrd recalled that he dis
covered this range and named ii
after the man who had contributed
the plane for the discovery fight.
Admiral Byrd said credit for the
expeditions discoveries should go to
Rear Admiral Richard II. Cruzen

crew members could only rarely
sight the ice foes and the sameness
of the area below.
The only apparent hope left was
the hand-cranked Gibson Girl radio,
one of which is carried in each plane
for use If forced down on the ice
or water. This radio had an aerial
wire to be held aloft by kite. The
only way to use it in a plane was
in reverse, by suspending the aerial
wire downward. This stratagem
also failed when the wire quickly
became tangled in the landing gear
and the mechanism for elevating
the landing gear was found to be out
of commission.
The crew discussed chopping a
hole through the plane floor to
lift this by hand, but abandoned
the project when all agreed the
procedure would be suicidal.
After three attempts, the wire
was suspended with a pop bottle
tied to the end as a weight. But
then the crushing blow came. The
little hand radio proved useless.
Continuous distress signals were
sent out, but none were ever re-
ceived at Little America.
Maj. Weir and Capt. Buffers,
however, had an instructive feeling
that one direction was south and
set the plane on a steady course,
intending to fly until the gasoline
was exhausted. Suddenly vista
through the fog showed open water.
Then came the panicky feeling
that the craft had gone north all
the time, so that the nearest land
would have been 1000 miles away.
Then a great wall of ice, 100 feet
high, 1ooned below. The creWmen
interpreted this as the edge of the
Ross ice shelf on which Little
America is located.
The only question was whether to
turn right or left. There was no
way of determining east or west.
They had to make decision and
stick to it, for life lay in one direc-
ton and death in the other.
A right turn was decided on,
purely on an instructive guess and
finally the tent city was glimpsed
below.
The exhausted crew arrived Just
as search plane was warming up
to enter the bowl of milky darkness
in blind hunt for the lost plane
on orders of Comdr. William Hawles,
7420 Lynnhurst street, Chevy Chase,
commander of the exploring squad

that a Baltimore contractor was paid
money for digging "nonexistent {
feet of dirt" along large area to be
used for construction of runway
at the field.
Denies Forcing Map Work.
George K. Coleman, who is Mr.
Asher's supervisor at the base, to-
day denied the latter,s charge that
he was forced to do map work fol-
the contractor on Government time
Asked whether he knew that Mr.
Asher's life was threatened, Mr.
Coleman said "only when I read it in
the papers"
Capt. Ira P. Griffen, head of the
Potomac River Naval Command, told
the committee that "Mr. Asher is
mistaken when he makes these
charges. I can assure you that nc
civil service employe paid by the
Government in my area has done
any work for which any contractor
has received any credit or compen-
sation."
Another witness, Capt. p. M. JEFF
fers, public works officer at Patuxent,
said a 5-foot elevation error had
been made in construction of a run
way, but that this had been cor
rected and that the Government had
lost no money because of it.
Differs With Statements.
Called back to the stand, Mr..
Asher said he begged to differ with
the statments made today. I am
not satisfied with their statements. /"
Mr.. Asher admitted, however, he
did not have specific proof to con-
tradict the testimony of his su-
periors today.
At the close of the hearing, Sena-
tor LANCER announced that next
month the committee will begin it's
investigation of the Governments S
efficiency rating system. Promotions,
within-grade salary advancements
and dismissals during the current
observation-disclosures program are
based largely on the efficiency rat
ing marks received by each en-
ploye.

whether he is an American citizen
he is still a japanese"
Mr.. Myer said "in 1914 and 1945
the American people of Japanese
descent not only regained their
prewar status but actually achieved
a higher level of popular acceptance
than they had known since the early
1880s."
This was due, he said, to the rec
ord of the Japanese-Am American SOL
dier and to the quiet, unobtrusive
return of the former war relocation
camp inmates themselves to civilian
life.
$4,000 Scattered Through U. s.
He said that 81 900 of the evacuees
have not returned to the West Coast
but are scattered throughout the
country-particularly in the Chicago,
Denver and Salt Lake City areas
in surely one of the most rapid
population readjustments in Ameri-
can history"
He added:
"The WRA believes that three
major lines Of action are needed to
insure better integration of the
japanese people into the body OF
our society and to soften existing
injustices. These are:
81. Enactment of legislation pro-
viding for an Evacuation Claims
Commission to consider claims
against the Government for proper
ty losses suffered as a direct result
of the evacuation.
'2. Modification of the Federal
naturalization laws to put Japanese
people on the same basis as members
of other nations and other races.
"3. Continuation and expansion of
activity by local citizen committees
and groups to aid the process of
evacuee adjustment and reintegra-
tion."

AS chairman of the Banking
Committee, Senator Tobey reported

unanimous consent to waive the

Congressional delegation stood for and Storch was knight in shining armor whose spear would slay the ugly dragon of the ftHarey Act, reduce the cost of living and provide public housing.
 So the nation watched. And what happened? Just about the thing that has always happened in the district. Percenagewise, the Republican ma jority was as great ever; in number of voters, Lichtenwaters purality greater than any ever received by his five-term predecessor.
 Immediately the CIO nominee said he did not think the election result true test of popular sentiment on the Taft-Tartley Act Why did he change his mind so quickly? It union labor itself which insisted the election would be popular test of the law.
 Actually, of course, the once dreaded political action wrecking crew has only given another illustra ton of it's impotence to bend the American people to it's will As long the union political strong men can ride with the majority they may look good but from their standpoint the public has distressing to do it's own thinking at the polls. And when they don't think to the kings of the CIO, that's just too bad-for the CIO.
 By very clear majority the American people recognize the need and usefulness of the Taft Hartley type of law And every time the professional unionsts try prove otherwise at the polls they wind up seeing stars and mumbling that it wasn't a true test.
