Social Survey Report
Singles Out Agencies
For Special Mention

Various Community Chest Agen-
eies came In for special mention in
the Social Survey report released
last night ON the Chest and Council
Of Social Agencies.
Gardner F. Cook, author OF the
report, commented that to date the
Chests budget committee has
"leaned over backward to support
several agencies that special in
terests call controversial In their
current programs"
On the other hand, he said, the
budget committee Is not likely to
welcome requests for expansion Of
such agencies and u not apt TO well
come new programs In fields that
would further antasonize the special
interests Of some important group. ;"
Housing Urban Group Cited.
He cited the Washington Hous-
ing Association and the Washington
Urban League after declaring that
no local community problems are
now more important than housing
and race relations. Both agencies,
he commented are under attack in
the community and their work is
branded as propaganda by certain
groups.
Neither of these agencies, he de-
clared, is encouraged or supported
in efforts to expand its work ito
q point that is reasonable In the
facse of the dire Importance Of the
problems with which each must
COPE"
OF other agencies in and out OF
the Chest, he had this to say:
"Tne Chest does not welcome
Planned Parenthood for support be-
cause of the expected opposition OF
those opposed to birth control.
"The American Legion Welfare
Department originally received
Chest membership and support de-
spite adverse recommendation by
the Council experts because Chest
leaders feared to offend large
veteran group who may or may not
have been, susceptible to gearing
themselves to q community wide
program"
Support Called Doubtful.
WASHINGTON Animal Rescue
League-"Such a service is obviously
needed and is of real value to the
health of the community and to
those who have humane and affec-
tional feelings for animals. That
this is a proper activity for Chest |
support is doubtful"
YMCA, YWCA, Salvation Army
ITO date, no satisfactory formula |
has been developed for separating
welfare and recreational services
from those purely religious or semi
commercial" /
Family welfare agencies-"The
Chest is actually supporting highly
divergent relief grants. No one ap-
pears to know why such wide di-
vergencies exist" |
AS an example. Mr. Cook cited
these average monthly grants per
family from family welfare agencies.
The American Legion Welfare De-
partment, $21.40; Catholic Charities, |
s19.70; Family Service Association,

Volunteer Office Study.

13. Suggested a study of the Vol
unteer Office, which recruits volun-
teer workers. to determine whether
it might be more effectiv as a sepa-
rate agency, continued as part OF
the Council, or attached to a metro
politan council If one Is established
IA. Urged more freedom for the
board of the Council, its divisions
and committees, to make policy de-
cisions without referring all ques-
tions back to boards of member
agencies. Under this arrangement,
the decisions would not be binding
on the agencies.
While approving the committee
recommendations, five committee
members went further and recon-
nended that the Council should
adopt the structural plan of the
Chest where so per cent of the Of
fetal members represent member
agencies and so per cent represent
the contributors.
The minority also recommended
that the Council expand its present
fields of interest to include voca-
tional adjustment, adult education,
race relations and labor manage
ment and should, In addition, be-
come the rallying point and COM
mrmity council where all groups.
organizations and forces could come
together to seek a common solution
of their common problems.
The minority urged establishment

tee to deal with unions on COM
munity-wides basis and to hear ap-
peals from employees on charges Of
discrimination and other grievances.
Higher Salaries Urged.
Commenting that salaries of pri-
vate welfare agency employees are 30
per cent below those In the Federal
Government, the minority urged the
council to insist" that salaries and
working conditions conform to those
of the Government.

bership of the various survey CON-
mittees be used by the council to

survey.
In releasing the critical study of
the Chest and council, Miss Hoey
noted that Mr.. Cooks report was
mot an attempt to evaluate the
Council of Social Agencies and Com
munity Chest in the light of their
present bylaws and operations, but
rather presents certain judgments of
those two organizations in relation
to a set of criteria SET up by the So
cial survey staff and adopted as
guiding principles by the Executive
Committee of the Committee on the
Organization and Structure of So
cial Work.
Therefore, the report is rather in

Bevin's foreign policy. admittedly
tied to that of the United States.
The developments apparently killed
speculation that Mr.. Bevin would be
replaced because Of criticism from
more than 100 labor members crit
ical Of that policy.
Bevin's Job Enlarged.
The Prime Minister increased Mr..
Bevin's responsibilities by making
tbs control Office for Germany and
Austria answerable to him rather
than to the War Once.
Mr.. Attlee also retained Herbert
Morrison as Deputy Prime Minister
for planning economic recovery In
the face of reports from sources
close to the government that he had
been considering putting Mr.. Bevin
over Mr.. Morrison as super
planner."

Arabs to accept and abide by what
ever U. N. decision may be arrived
at but also the absence of delaying
or blocking tactics on the part of
u. N. members themselves. The
Arab League is strongly represented
in U. N; Britain has its imperial
interests to consider, and other
nations are practically concerned in
the terms of settlement. Lastly, the
Jews have no formal representation
in U. NJ, and it is probable that
the Arabs would strongly oppose
the grant of such representation.
Both Arabs and Jews have already
indicated that, under certain cir
cumstances, they would not be
disposed to accept a U. N. decision,
and there is at present no inter-
national police force such as is
envisaged under the Charter for
carrying out a U. N. directive.
All in all, therefore, the case OF
what has been aptly termed 1.-THE
Too Much Promised Land" may
well turn out to be not only the
hottest issue yet laid before U. N.
but also a crucial test of the U. N.

Palestine to the u. N.

Formal announcement by Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin that Britain
has failed in it's attempts to find
solution for the Palestine problem
and has therefore decided to carry
the case to the United Nations.
opens up a series of interesting
possibilities.
In the first place, Mr.. Bevin did
not disclose just how the case will
be referred to U. NJ, and, under
the provisions of the U. N. Charter.
Britain will have at least three
choices. BY invoking one clause
of the Charter, Britain could pre-
sent the case directly to the Security
Council, thereby getting a quick
hearing, since the Council is al
ways available to consider such a
matter. The second possibility is to
refer the case to the Trusteeship
Council, although that body is not
yet in operation. A variant under
that clause would be for the Security
Council to refer the matter to the
TrusteeShip Council instead of itself
considering the matter. Finally,
Britain may carry the issue to the
U. N. General Assembly. That would
entail considerable delay, since the
Assembly is not slated to meet until
next September, unless the Security
Council should invoke a special
Assembly session, which it is en-
powered to do. Mr.. Bevin is expected
to disclose the British governments
plan of reference within few days
when he lays the entire matter in
detail before the House of Commons
It should, of course, be realized
that merely referring this explosive
problem to the United Nations Or
ganization does not guarantee a
workable solution. Amy genuine
solution involves not only a willing
ness on the part OF both Jews and

Automatic Landings

Experiments being conducted on
the West Coast by the Army Air
Forces may herald a new era OF
safety in aviation-an era in which
airliners will be landed safely in fog
or darkness by electronically oper-
ated robots. Such elimination of the
possibility of human error in bring
ing a plane to earth under condi-
tions of zero visibility would greatly
reduce the risk of accidents.
The tests involve system OF COM
pletely automatic landing control
based on a combination of GCA. or
Ground Controlled Approach, and
standard automatic pilot" equip
ment. Under the GOA system-soon
to be in operation at Washington
National Airport, La Guardia Field
and several other municipal airports
planes are talked in" by control
tower operator who watches the
approach of the plane on a radar
screen. The human element thus is
still to be reckoned with.
The new device would be an i'm
provement oyer the "drone" appara-
tus which guides pilotless aircraft to
a safe landing. With the electronic
control, the regular pilot in time of
poor visibility would turn control OF
the plane over to the automatic
landing device and Git Is hoped his
worries would be over.
Since it may take as long to de-
velop this invention as it has to
perfect GOA to the point where it
could be installed commercially, air
safety authorities are not likely to
change their plans for wider use of
GOA. This innovation has proved
remarkably effective at Army and
Navy fields. The sooner it is adopted
generally fof commercial planes, the
greater will be It's opportunities for
saving lives.

supposedly, we are told, Bipartisan" "
The COP should also know that the
people trust the Judgment Of scientists
on this matter great deal more than
they trust politicians. If Mr.. Lilienthal
is not confirmed, the scientists will,
think, make loud, derisivs noises.
The people realize that atomic energy,
the greatest potential source of power
ever discovered, belongs to them - and
not to private companies and power in
terests. They are bound to conclude Ca
that Mr.. Lilienthal has proved himself
an intrepid protector Of the public in
terest and (b) that some of the Senators
involved ip the fight against him have
proved themselves intrepid protectors of
private power interests.
This combination Of facts very easily
can do what the Republicans now think
is mpossible-namely, re-elect Mr.. Tru-
man. Republican support for Senator
McKellar is just about the greatest
political gift that has been bestowed
upon the President.
If David Lilienthal were Communist,
he would, think, have been discovered
by this writer, who lately has been ac-
cused of "Red-baiting" first exposed
the life history of Gerhard Eisler. But
Mr. Lilienthal is as much Communist
as the late Senator Norris-or Henry
George!
Atomic fission is the greatest chal-
lenge ever made to our civilization and
to all it's institutions and systems, in
Guiding the Communist. AS Vincent
Sheehan was the first to note publicly,
its discovery challenges not only the
orthodox capitalists but also the ortho-
doX Marxist. Mr.. Lilienthal, thank
heaven, is neither. It remains for Re
publican Party leaders, however, to try
by all means to prove the validity OF
MARKHAM reasoning!
The only thing, in my estimation, that
will control the atomic bomb, is the
most rapid possible development of
atomic energy. This will demonstrate
that the perennial quest Of states for
raw materials-basis of imperialism and
warts obsolete. The peace-atom and
the war-atom thus face each other, and
Mr.. Lilienthal is the man who wants to
start the peace moving.
We, for our part, have no desire to be
pushed into the Ice Age by minds-like
that Of Senator McKe1lar-that are still
in the Stone Age.

A Place to Reform

There is more than ordinary
interest in the current investigation
of the Office of Recorder of Deeds.
Chairman Horan of the House Sub
committee on District Appropria-
tions holds that an investigation
into any agency of the local govern
ment comes within the proper scope
of his subcommittee and he evidently
is having a routine" check OF the
Office made now. The Deputy
Recorder seems also to be making
an independent investigation and
one employe Of the office has been
"furloughed" for the time being.
Three years ago an effort was
made in Congress to remove this
office from the anomalous status 1t
occupies in the District government
by making it subject to regular
audits by the District auditor.
Legislation along such lines failed.
The Office has remained a law unto
itself. It has always been regarded
as more important from the point
of view of political patronage than
for its efficient functioning as
Government agency. At one time
the District auditor found himself
caught between a ruling of the
General Accounting Office, which
placed on him the responsibility of
audit, and the refusal of the
Recorder of Deeds-possibly sup
ported by the Department of Justice
to permit such an audit. A rider
on a local appropriation bill a few
years ago, which directed formal
audit of the office by the District
auditor, was stricken out on point
of order in the House.
The District auditor, faced with
this refusal, made no further
attempt. The expenditures and re-
ceipts of the Office are not subject
to the same audit which covers other
municipal agencies. Whether any
important irregularities have been
discovered in the current investiga-
tfon Is not known. But Mr.. H0rarl,s
own interest in the Office might
yield some beneficial results If it
leads to a reform which will relegate
the system of political patronage on
which 1t has been run In the past
and substitutes the merit system,
with formal audit at periodic inter-
walls of its funds. Inasmuch as the
office has been the property of the
Democrats for the past decade or
so, a Republican-controlled Congress
may take a more active interest in
putting it on a nonpolitical basis.
