BALTIMORE, Dec. %. More
than 1000 Marylanders have been
disqualified from receiving jobless
pay for periods ranging from one
to two years since the amended
Maryland Unemployment Compen-
5ation Act went into effect eight
months ago, Russell 5. Davis, chair
man of the Employment Security
Board, reported last night.
Mr.. Davis said benefits have been
denied because applicants filed
fraudulent claims while they were
gainfully employed.
He reported also that:
/. Forty-two claimants received
money on fraudulent claims when
their employers failed to file acces-
sion notices required by the act,
that IL of the employers were fined

imperial Japan did everything to
perpetuate the ties between persons
of japanese ancestry everywhere
and the homeland with its dreams
of world domination, wherein Hawaii
was included.
The crushing defeat of Japan in
the late war had profound psyche
logical effects. especially upon the
japanese abroad, whose sentimental
ties with the homeland should be
much attenuated. Furthermore, the
emphatic loyalty of the Hawaiian
"Nisei" or, Hawaiian-born Japanese
under what must have been a dis
tressing test of allegiance appears
to minimize the likelihood of their
acting and voting as bloc, makes
more certain their intent to act and
vote as any other group of Americans.

Harold D. Smith

When he became budget director
under President Roosevelt in 1889,
Harold D. Smith had already estab-
lished his reputation in city and
State circles. Almost as soon as he
had worked his way through col
lege, his unique administrative tai
ents began to attract attention In
the Midwest. While still in his
twenties, he was showing city gov
ernments how to save money and
install efficient budgetary practices.
But that phase of his service,
though important, was dwarfed by
his operations in the Federal Gov
ernment. His job was to supervise
the ALLEGATION and expenditure of
hundreds of billions of dollars. 1t
was job involving tremendous re-
sponsibilities, and it required a man
of exceptional gifts and strong
character. More than that, espe-
cially during the feverish war years,
it required extremely hard work.
In his quiet and unostentatious
way, Harold D. Smith performed
his duties supremely well. Few Off
cials labored as prodigiously or as
earnestly. Members of both parties
in Congress respected him for that,
just as they respected him for all
his other fine qualities, including
his nonpolitical attitude in office.
Politics was out of his line. His
business, his enthusiasm, his career,
centered on economy and efficiency.
When he resigned last summer to
Join the World Bank, he did so not
because he had tired of the job, but
because he needed better compen-
sation for family reasons. 1t is
commentary on our Federal pay
svstem-and an answer to why more
of them are not in Government
that gifted men of his type do not
receive adequate salaries. That he
was gifted, that he contributed much
to his country, there can be no
doubt. AS President Truman has
declared, "he was one of the ablest
servants in the public service" The
fact that he was such hard-work-
ing one as we'll probably accounts
some for his sudden death In the
prime of a highly useful life.

Polio Virus Seen

From the New Orleans Times -Pieayune.
The first photographing OF the infan-
tile paralysis virus is reported from Stan
ford University in conjunction with the
highest degree of publication yet at
tanned In the Isolation" of the virus.
The research was begun in 1910 by
Chemists Hubert S. Loring and G. E.
Schwerdt under National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis grant. Their
triumph is shared by the electron micro
scope.
The virus is described as a spherical
particle about 25-billionths of meter
in diameter, and Is said to react chemi-
cally like a protein. The magnif1cation
achieved is not stated in dispatches, but
II it corresponds to the maximum pre-
viously btainable-100O00 enlargements
the virus image came out with dimen-
sions of about one-tenth of an inch.
Since the best of the optical microscopes
would have brought out" the particle TO
only one five-hundredths of an inch,
the difficulties that previously handi-
capped this long -drawn-out search can
easily be realized. AS it is, the feat
must represent a most delicate manipu-
lation of the wondrous device. e

at least 80 per cent. This Is a great ad-
vance over previous 'isolations though
the latter have proved very useful In
the study of the disease and in the
preparation of vaccines for animal an
oculations. -
The discoverers themselves are mot
prepared to "go overheard" with claims
that they have solved the polio problem.
That the threshold has been crossed,
however, can confidently be asserted.
This enemy which cripples and kills,
which terrorizes parents and commune
tiles, which in 1916 produced the worst
epidemic in 80 years, finally has been
"seen," identified, set aside, to await
the host of measures which scientists
have been diligently and patiently as
sembling against this day. For this
David. Goliath will find an answer.

Chances in Huwuii

The annual report of Territorial
Governor Stainback to the Secretary
of the Interior contains data of
unusual interest concerning the
evolution of Hawaii. Notable changes
have taken place and those changes
appear to denote not only rapid
development of the Territory itself
but also a strengthening of its
claims to Statehood.
The outstanding factor in the re-
port is the extraordinary increase in
the white element of the population.
This has more than doubled in the
short space of six years. Whereas in
1910 the whites numbered 74.000 or
1879 per cent of the total, they now
stand at 173,0O0 or 1874 per cent. BY
contrast, the Japanese element de-
clined from 40.1 per cent to 32.2 per
cent, today numbering 10000, the
majority being born in Hawaii. The
native Hawaiians show healthy
natural increase, numbering $4,000
or 14.5 per cent, albeit most of these
are of mixed ancestry, only about
11,0o0 of them being of pure Hawai-
ian ancestry. The smaller ethnic
Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans,
Negroes and Puerto Ricans-make
up slightly more than one-fifth OF
the total population.
Hawaii has long been one OF the
worlds celebrated melting pots. The
native Hawaiians having been averse
to hard labor on the sugar and pine
apple plantations developed by the
white planter aristocracy, mostly
Americans, foreign labor was brought
in on a large scale, from the most
varied sources. The greatest influx
came from Japan; and it was this
element, which became numerically
the largest in the islands, that con-
stituted the gravest political prob
lem. Until recently, the whites,
though dominating the life of the
islands in almost every respect, were
numerically so in the minority that
it was feared they might lose control
to the Japanese under Statehood
with universal suffrage and full
States rights. It should be remeul-
bered that, down to the late war.

Mr.. Clark to the Rescue

The Government move to quaSn
the Mount Clemens case indicates a
stiffening attitude on the portal pay
issue, and may have important re-
suits. While individual suits by
unions to get walking pay will be
tried on their respective merits, the
Mount Clemens case is preceoent-
making, and it's ultimate dispo-i,ion
can be expected to have its effect
on all the rest of the litigation.
Intervening in Michigan District
Court, the Government, through At
torney General Clark, is attacking
the award to the Mount Clemens
pottery workers under the de mini
mis- rule (the de minimiS rule is ex-
pressed in the phrase "the law cares
not for mere trifies'D, which the
Supreme Court, while upholding the
walking time principle, said might
operate to throw out certain pay
claims as inconsequential. The court
itself shaved the Mount Clemens
workers claims from flfty-six min
utes daily to fraction of that time,
and when the Supreme Court sent
the case back, it was with instruc-
tions to determine more precisely
the amount to which the men might
be entitled.
The Government, facing potential
liability of millions of dollars from
portal pay suits, now is contending
that unless the record shows the
Mount Clemens workers to be en-
titled to more than at present seems
their due, the de minimis rule should
be invoked to throw the cast out
OF court.
Irrespective of the turn taken IN
the lower court, the case no DOUBT
will find its way to the Supreme
Court again.
In its broad aspects, however, TINS
issue is one calling for legislation
rather than judicial Interpretation.
Until Congress has made known
Enthusiastically its own views, Ihe
threat of portal pay demands always
will hang over industry.

The Political Mill
Bv Gould Lincoln

The tenuous hold which the Repub-
lican majority has on control of legis-
lation in the Senate was manifest in
the vote by which the life of the spe-
cial committee investigating the ma
tional defense program-the old Truman
committee-was extended. The vote
stood Al to As against the Tydings
amendment which would have turned
the investigation over to the Committee
on Expenditures in the Executive De-
partments a standing committee of the
Senate. In the actual vote to extend
the life of the special committee the
vote was stronger-49 to 43. It was,
however, the first vote that really
counted.
The Republican leadership Of the
Senate met its first test in this fight
and came through. 1t will face many
other tests, however, when the legisla-
tive program comes up for action. For
example, when proposed labor legisla-
ton is before the upper house. Pre-
sumably many of the Democrats will go
along on labor legislation, designed to
better balance the Federal labor laws.
It is not impossible, however, that
Democrats may present solid front on
are joined by the small, but belligerent,
they will make it tough for the ma
jority party.
Four Republicans-Morse of Oregon,
Tobey of New Hampshire. Aiken of
Vermont and Cooper OF Kentucky
jumped the reservation on the Tydings
amendment. Only one Democrat,
ODaniel Of Texas, voted with the Re-
publicans. Had he supported the Tyd-
ings amendment, and Senator Overton
of Louisiana (who was absent on ac-
count of illness in his family been
present to vote, the Tydings amend
ment would have been adopted, and the
Republican leadership would have re-
ceived blow right at the start OF
the session.
The issue in this contest was whether
q special committee, which has worked
for years on its inquiry, should be con-
tinued, or as contemplated in the Con-
gressional Reorganization Act, the in
vestigation should be made by one of
the standing committees. Messrs
Tobey, Aiken and Morse-who have
been thorns in the flesh of the Repub-
lican Senate organization in the past
and who promise to be again-sup-
ported the Tydings amendment to up
hold the spirit of the Reorganization
Act. Senator Cooper, newcomer, took
the same position-not because he Is
rebel against the Republican leadership,
but because, as he said, he reserves to
himself the right to vote as he believes
right.

Mr.. Dulles Proposal

IF It could be translated INTO
reality the thesis set forth the other
night by John Foster Dulles migh1
well do away with the conditions
that have made Europe "the worlds
worst fire hazard" Between the
ideal and the real, however, there
are tremendous obstacles.
Yet, although fully aware OF tne
difficulties involved, MIR. Dulles holdS
that a basic change for the better
can be begun at the Moscow Con-
ference in March. The problem
starts with the treaty for Germany.
In his judgment the treaty should
be written to attain two key objec-
tiyes: First, political decentrallza-
ton under a federalized system OF
German states, and second, the
integration of the Rhinelands vast
resources with the economy OF
Europe.
AS Mr.. Dulles sees it the decen-
tralization of Germany is necessary
to guard against the country's ever
again becoming a highly unified
ageressor state. At the same time,
however, the German economy,
which is vital to Europe, must not
be broken up. Instead, according
to Mr.. Dulles, it must be exploited
to the full in such a way as to
benefit neighboring peoples quite as
much as the Germans themselves.
To this end he would have the
European nations set up a form OF
Joint control over the resources OF
the Rhine basin-a control that
would exclude the United States,
Russia and possibly Britain.
In outline of this idea Mr..
Dulles :; vague as to detail, but he
makes clear that the proposed joint
control Would be undertaken at first
by Germany's near neignbors, such
as France, Belgium and Holland
With that, western Europe, at
least, with it's 100000 people,
could develop into a more prosper
GUS and stable land" AS for the rest
of the continent, Mr.. Dulles pre-
sumably would look forward to
gradual enlargement of the setup
until in time, possibly, all European
peoples would be economically uni
fed and politically federated within
the overall framework of the United
Nations.
Fundamentally this is an old idea
and nothing could be easier than to
list reasons why it has not made
much headway up to now. Wholly
apart from Russia's attitude toward
the proposal-and Moscows first
reaction to it is bitterly hostile be-
cause Mr.. Dulles has presented il
in anti-Soviet terms-the European
nations themselves have long way
to go before getting rid of theil
ancient jealousies and divisions
Nevertheless every one must agree
that a Europe divided into small
economic compartments" and "s
number of independent, uncon-
nected sovereignties," cannot fail te
be a continuing fire hazard.
Mr.. Dulles speaks as Republican
with great influence on his party
