I'm the second place, his statement
is intended to fool the public for he
knows that the Bureau of Reclama-
ton must operate on the basis of a
long-range integrated program for
western development. The first year
of such a program only paves the
way for much greater construction
work the second year, and still further
expansion the third year That is
how any large construction program
must be operated, if it is to be con-
Quoted economically and with eff
cheney.
This means that once a great
program has been we'll started and
the funds are curtailed-and most of
the important cuts were made in the
big program - there is tremendous
waste. The job is bound to cost more

actually pouring out funds in waste

But the pay-off when reveals the |
motive behind this curtailment, was
revealed when the Republican house /
cut the fund for Investigations and
planning to a mere $125,000 from the
$4,000 600 allowed by the Bureau Of
the Budget. This effectively does |
away with all engineering surveys |
and planning for western development |

this point, it can only be upon the
basis of such Investigations and plans
as already have been made, and with
in very short time the great pro-
gram of western development that
has been initiated must wither upon
its stem. Such planning cannot be
easily revived for a fine staff of en-
cheering and economic experts can
not be assembled overnight.
This attempt to destroy the adj
non-partisan program of
western development is serious blow

No minority report was offered
and the division on the committee
was not revealed.
Election Termed Regular.
Mr.. Steinem said it was found
Mrs. Wubnig's election as delegate
was perfectly regular" He ex-
planned this was the only matter
the committee considered and her
association with the League OF
Women Shoppers was not discussed
1t was this affiliation which
prompted referral of her credentials
to a committee at the November
meeting of the federation.
During last nights debate, 1t was
pointed out the league did not ap-
pear on the list Of subversive groups
made public last Thursday by At
torney General Clark.

they felt the committee should have

as well as with the regularity of he1
election.

Of them when they get in here" he
suggested.
Neither Mr.. Bates nor Mr.. Finch
referred to Mrs. Wubnig in hi:
statements on Communist activity
Harry S. Wender, a past presi-

For DR.. Sprow|s, Held
For Shotgun Blast

DR.. Jesse w. Sprowls, so. Uni
versity of Maryland professor of
abnormal psychology and men,
tai hygiene, was released on $500
bond yesterday for hearing De-
cember Is on a charge of assault
with intent to kill as the result
OF a shotgun blast slightly injur-
ing two Washington women.
He said he fired a single-barreled
shotgun merely to frighten away two
women and two men he accused of
trespassing on his property on Riggs
road, half a mile from University
lane, shortly after 2 am. yesterday.
They had driven into his driveway,
gone into his garage and refused to
leave, he told Hyattsville police.
Mrs. Mary Mcdonald, 30 of the
600 block of Morse place NE, and
Mrs. Ida Laird, 27, of the 200 block
Of Massachusetts, avenue Sc, were
treated at Prince Georges Hospital
for cuts on the legs. No shotgun
pellets were found, however, hospi-
tai attendants said.
Four Are Arrested.
On complaint of DR.. Sprowls, po-
lice arrested Mrs. Mcdonald, Mrs.
Laird, James P. Heldreth, 26, of the
$500 block of Blue Plains drive S.W.,
and Julian E. Weissner, 27, of the
1900 block Of Third place Sc, on
charges Of trespassing. They were
released after posting $3.50 each for
hearing at 8 am. December Is in
Hyattsville Police Court.
On complaint of Mrs. Mcdonald,
DR.. Sprowls was charged with as
sault with intent to kill. His hear
ling was for 10 am. December Is.
A lecturer, author and teacher
at the University of Maryland since
1927, DR.. SproWls also has a weekly
radio program. His. subject today
is "Pyromaniacs" Station WGAY
announced last night he does not
intend to cancel the broadcast at
2 pm.
Dr. Sprowls told The Star he
often has been inconvenienced by
persons who drove into his property
and parked on the semicircular
driveway near his house, about 200
yards off Riggs road. About am
he ordered the occupants of a car
to leave and they did, but an hour
later, he said, another car came in
and four people got out and entered
the open garage.
When he went in after them, he
related, he found them "fooling
around with some farm equipment. :"
The intruders ignored him and
he went back for his shotgun, he
said, because he feared they would
steal the equipment or his car.
DR.. Sprowls declared he fired the
gun once into the ground. The four
persons scattered but were still in
the vicinity when police arrived in
response to his call, the professor
related.
The version given by Mrs Nc
Donald to reporters was as follows:
The four had been to the Tick
Took Tavern, Riggs road and Uni
versity lane, and apparently took
the wrong road on the way home.

the consequences, the most immoral
undertaking on which any govern

At the outbreak of World War
I in 1914, he supported the admins
tration's peace position as respond
ing to the best wishes and hopes Of
the whole people" but in 1916 urged
Americas entry into the conflict
Long before the United States en-
tered World War II, DR.. Butler de-
nounced the Axis nations, scoffed
at neutrality and isolation and
called for repeal of the "miscalled
neutrality act" which he said puts
us into this war on the side of the
aggressor."
Calls Isolation Folly"
More than a year before Pearl
Harbor he told an unprecedented
general assembly Of the university
faculty that Columbia was enlisted
in the war between beasts and hu-
man being" and that any whose
convictions were against that pol
icy should resign.
On another occasion he described
as "fatuous folly and profound
immortality" the theory of national
isolation. There are and can be
no Robinson Crusoe nations in this
modern world" he said. The cleo
tric spark and its manifold appli-
cations have destroyed those limi-
tations of time and space which
were at one time so obvious and so
influential"

WHITEVILLE GRID
TEAM WORKS HARD

WHIEVILLE, Sept. s - Coach
Earl Brinkley's Whiteville high
school Wolfpack worked hard this
week, as they tried to perfect the
tricky plays which he has laid
out for them to use during the
1947 season. Not only will the ex-
High Point College star tutor his
eleven the acknowledgements
"T'' formation, but will also have
them running several from a sin
gle wingback. The latter will
come in the form of a shift, as ex-
planned by Brinkley; however, he
is waiting until he gets a hearing
from the rules committee before
he decides just what form Of shift
he will be able to use.
With only a little over a week
before the opening game OF the
schedule, the Brinkley headache
has been eased somewhat with the
return of several veterans who
had not shown up for practice,
which began almost two weeks
ago. Chief among these were Bill
Ellis, little back of whom great
things are expected; Co-captain
Calvin Smith, who a really be
a great football player if he will
apply himself according to his tai
ents; Eldred Williamson, n OF
the speediest scatbacks on the '46
squad; Billy Memory, who is be-
ing depended on to fill in at the
spot at guard vacated by the shin
ing "Fatso" Griffith, and others
who have been unable to prac-
tice because Of outside activities.
Rrinkley still does not have any
idea just who will play what, or
who will be on his starting eleven,
scheduled to face the tough Null
Inns, sc. Auctioneers, here next
Friday, September 18th, at Me-
mortal Stadium. So ne has been
doing quite a bit of shiftln
around, giving all of the boys the
chance to learn the plays from
almost every position.
However, with the opening of
school and much rougher work
outs this last week before the
starter, he will no doubt have
something in the form Of a start
ing lineup by the first OF the week.
He is confident that his boys
are in much better physical con-
dition than their opener found
them last season, also with Null
when the South Carolina boys
won a 27.0 decision. He, along
with his boys are anxious to be
ready for the invaders, so a little
rougher work the first of the
week, with tapering off practices
the latter part, is on tap.
