InverchapeI SCOTS at Idea
Britain Exploits Colonies
By the Associated Press

DES MONIES, June 2.-Lord Iver-
chapel, British Ambassador, told the
Midwest Conference of Interna-
tional Relations at Drake University
yesterday that the British Com
monwealth has been unjustly
"scowled at and chided for being
oppressors of backward races"
He said the world had an errone-
Gus idea that the commonwealth is
a colonial plantation exploiting
workers living in near-serf condi-
tions."
mot many years ago Singapore
was an empty fevered swamp" he
declared, "and 40 years ago the
tribes of West Africa were practicing
cannibalism.
"Seh government is our declared
aim, but 1t is not an easy task to
turn these colonies into self-govern-
ing states"
He said Ceylon's new constitution
"affordfng full self-government in
international affairs" is an example
Of the commonwealth progress.
Jamaica also has a new constitution

Senate Unit Approve,
Bryan for Judgeship

The Senate Judiciary Committee
today approved unanimously the
nomination of Albert v. Bryan,
Commonwealth's attorney of Alex
andria, to be Federal judge for the
eastern district of Virginia
Chairman Wiley formally filed
the recommendation for confirma-
ton shortly after the Senate met at
noon. The Senate probably will
vote on the nomination within a
day or so.
Mr.. Bryan was named by Presi-
dent Truman to succeed Judge
Robert N. Pollard.
The committee acted after hear
ing from a special subcommittee
that all reports on Mr.. Bryan we're
favorable and none were in opposi-
ton to the nominee.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Donnell. Republican, of
Missouri, held a hearing recently
but withheld action awaiting re-
port from the American Bar Asso-
citation.
The report, which arrived over
the week end as a favorable recon-
mendation, came from John D. Bu-
chanan of Pittsburgh, chairman of
the ABA Special Committee on the
Judiciary.

Bars Are LET Down
|As Bar Association
Holds Annual 0utinq

District jurists and hundreds of
spcrtily clad attorneys threw aside
their legal burdens today and en-
joyed themselves at the annual
outing of the District Bar Associa-
ton at the Congressional Country
Club.
There was one early casualty.
Attorney Edward E. O'Neill slid on
his stomach along a bowling alley
as United States Attorney George
Morris Fay and Attorneys Joseph
Luria and John j. Sirica looked on.
Exhibiting his bruised knees, Mr..
O'Neill commented ruefully, 'T
didn't know bowling was 50 strenu-
ous."
Mr.. Fay, who was chairman of
the general committee, made peri
odic trips to the gate to help F..
Joseph Donohue, chairman of tick
cts, who was taking the stubs. Mr..
Fay occasionally shot a worried
glance skyward at low cloud which
would not go away.
Injunction Is Discussed.
It finally dissipated as Mr.. Fay
vaguely discussed applying for a
Federal injunction against "such
things. --.-.z---
George E. Mcneil, candidate for
the District Bar Association presi-
dency at the forthcoming election,
entered the conversation.
Now if I'm elected next week, I'll
take care of clouds at future out
ings," he said confidently.
Golf quickly attracted many of
the lawyers, among them Matthias
Mahorner, jr., Charles E. Ford,
James Proctor, jr.; George jacobson,
William r. Lichtenberg and Ring
gold Hart.
Are First Jurists Present.
Justices Matthew F. Mcclure and
Alexander Holtzoff of District Court
and Justice Thomas D. Quinn of
Municipal Court arrived shortly be-
fore noon, to be the first jurists
present.
Most of the organized events were
scheduled for the afternoon, in
cluding the softball game, tennis
matches, a water carnival, horseshoe
pitching contests and gin rummy
and bridge tournaments. Dinner
was set for 6 pm, with Chief Justice
Vinson of the United States and
the associate justices of the Supreme
Court scheduled to attend.

Health Service Starts
First Postwar Survey
OF District Physicians
By THONGS G. Buchunon

The first postwar survey of the
Districts private physicians, the de-
mand for their services and the
fields in which they specialize got
under way today.
Three staff members of the United
States Public Health Service will
supervise the work, and headquar-
ters for the collection of data will
be the District Medical Society Of
fee at 1718 M street NV.
The medical society in March re-
quested aid from the Public Health
Service in conducting the survey,
but preliminary work was delayed
to avoid a conflict with a study of
the city's cancer problem which
statistical experts of the health serv-
ice are making at the Health De-
partment's request,
Most of this month will be re-
quired to bring the rolls of the Dis
trict's doctors up to date, according
to a Public Health Service official.
Results Due in August.s-a
Physicians will receive forms to
I'LL out in early July, and the Esre-
suits of the survey. should be ready
ior publication by the end of Au-
gust or early September, 1t is ex-
pected.
The USPHS staff of three, headed
by Statistician Isidore Newman, to-
day began the task of checking the
files of the District Medical Society
and the Medico-C Chirurgical Society
to discover now many doctors have
died, retired or moved from Wash
ington since the last survey was
made in 1945.
They also will try to determine
how many have returned from war
time service, completed their med
ical training or moved here from
other communities during the in
terval
Increase Expected.
District medical men expect the
study to reveal a considerable
growth in the profession here. Ac-
cording to Public Health Service
Official, previous surveys showed
99l physicians in active private
practice here in September, 1912;
a decrease to 910 in April, 1943,
and the same figure, 910, in April,
1945.
1t also is expected that decrease
will be shown in the average doc
tors case load from the peak fig
ures reached during the war, when
A per cent of the physicians said
they were forced to turn away at
least one request for medical care
week.
Doctors were unwilling to specu-
late whether the trend toward
specialization, characteristic of the
country's urban centers, has con-
tinued here. In 1945 there were
450 white male physicians in the
special branches here, and only
26l reported in general practice.
A similar breakdown for colored
and woman doctors was
not available

Chevy Chase 10 Garry
Plea for Brown School
Conversion 10 Capitol

With the District commissioners
now backing them, residents of
Chevy Chase will carry to the
Capitol their campaign for CONVEX
sion of E. v. Brown School into a
recreation center and branch public
library, it was learned today.
Members of the Chevy Chase
Community Council, are supported
by the District Recreation Board
and the Board Of Library Trustees,
in the campaign to make new use of
the old school at Connecticut avenue
and Mckinley street.
Needed now are the funds to alter
the building and provide for its
first years operation under the
Recreation Department. District
budget officials said the. House Ap-
preparations subcommittee on the
District budget probably will con-
slider a supplemental appropria-
ton to finance the project during
hearings on the Recreation Depart
ment budget.
ShoAA f1AC ICtlbl0UGO.
Samuel F.. Higger, chairman of
the Chevy Chase Community Coun-
Gil, said today that the council had
written the chairmen of both the
House and Senate District appropri-
alton subcommittee asking a chance
to be heard.
Mr. Higger's letter follows in part:
This Council represents every
church, school, citizen and youth
organization in the well populated
Chevy Chase area. It has, with the
unanimous Endorsement and ap-
proval Of every organized group in
and many outside the area, carried
on the battle for the improvement
OF the very meager library and rec
creation facilities in one of the
largest, Oldest and best residential
sections of the city.
washington Star SURVEYS have
shown that Chevy Chase has fewer
and poorer recreational facilities
than any comparable area in the
District Our library is inadequate
ly housed, at fairly high rental for
the space, in three small stores on a
side street, so obscurely that the To-
cation and even its existence are
unknown to many residents. It is
entirely insufficient to serve this
large, highly literate population.
Focus for Community.
The E. v. Brown School property
located at Connecticut avenue and
Mckinley street, was until recently
D. G. OPA headquarters. It has
for nearly so years been a focus for
community and citizen activities.
Check by competent authorities
has shown it to be en1inently usable,
at moderate conversion cost, for the
joint purpose in mind. The Library
and Recreation Boards and officials
are heartily in favor of the plan.
After full presentation, the Commits
sioners for the District of Columbia,
realizing its merit and soundness,
have Endorsed it.
p I'VE have here remarkable op-
portunity to provide for this fine
community in the only logical and
available location. the much needed
facilities at only fraction of what
new buildings and grounds would
cost. And it would be major step
toward combating juvenile delin-
quency in the section"

Move Suggested
10 End Funds for
Public Counsel
Horun Budget Group
Studies Withholding
ofSl2,o 900 in '48
By Don S. Worren

A suggestion that funds for the
ONCE Of peoples counsel be dropped
from the 1948 budget as an economy
move is being considered by the
Koran subcommittee Of the House
Appropriations Committee.
This question was discussed At
today's executive hearings OF the
group, It was reported. while it
was reviewing estimates for the
Public Utilities Commission. Just
before noon, school officials took
the stand to justify the budget
request Of $19,495 900 for school
operations.
Apparently no final decision has
been reached about withholding the
$4,000 needed for the peoples
counsel, but one member indicated
he felt the proposed fund had not
been adequately justified.
Office Left Unified.
1t was recalled by committee mem.
bers that the Office was left untitled
for several years by former President
Roosevelt. Not being in sympathy
with the idea of peoples counsel,
he declined to nominate a candi-
date to I'LL vacany in the post.
As result of demands from civic
groups, however, the operation of
the office was renewed two years ago,
One member of the Horan Sub
committee commented that If the
President could leave the post vac
ant the subcommittee could" omit
funds for the Office. He did not 70
so far as to say the Appropriations
Subcommittee would do this.
ODea Is Not Issue.
A spokesman for the Horarl group
said the question did not turn on the
qualifications of the present peoples
counsel. John ODea, who was pro-
NOTED to this post early this year.
He previously had served as an
Assistant Corporation Counsel.
The member discussing the ques-
ton said the idea of a peoples coun-
sci was to have a municipal ofiicer
especially charged with the re-
sponsibility Of representing the pub
lies side of utility cases. He noted
that in the recent contest over
streetcar tokens, the CIO Washing
ton Industrial Union Council was
represented by its own attorney.
There was comment also that the
Utilities Commission" appears to be
protecting the public"
For the fiscal year beginning July
l, school officials originally asked
appropriations totaiing more than
$25, 5,714,000. This was reduced by the
Commissioners and the Budget Bu-
reau to s19,495, 900. Passage of the
pending teacher pay bill will add
$2,4O0, 400. s
Brown School Discussed.
One item III the budget caiIS for
conversion Of the E. v. Brown
School, in the Chevy Chase area,
into recreation center and branch
library.
AS the morning session ended:
officials said the committee would
receive report showing the total
number and location of old school
buildings which had been abandoned
as schools. The thought arose in the
minds of some that If the committee
grants funds for the reconversion Of
the Brown School it could anticipate
similar requests regarding six other
abandoned school buildings.
