Robert Leahy Of FEC
Elected Commander
OF District Amveis

Robert D. J. Leahy, a, Federal
Communications Commission OH
cial, last night was elected COM
mander of the District Department
Of the American Veterans of World
War II at the closing session Of q
two-day convention at the Hamilton
Hotel.
Mr.. Leahy was lieutenant COM
mander assigned to Naval intelll-
gence during World War II. He
lives at 24os Lee boulevard, Arling-
ton.
Other officers elected included ].
Muscoe Garnett, vice commander
for administration; George Kenne-
dy, vice commander for promotion;
Joel Rubin, vice commander for
programs; Miss Eva Manchester,
adjutant; Edward Barton, finance
|officer; JEFF Busby, judge advocate;
Nicholas r. Zapple, national execu-
tive committeeman; Andrew Ken
kney, alternate committeeman, and
John Dayney, provost marshal.
Calls Attention TO Duties.
Speaking at a banquet which
closed the session. the new District
commander called for more atten-
ton by Amvets to their duties as
citizens. He announced he would
institute an active campaign to
raise funds to build home for the
Eoup here.
Charles P. Kindleberger. chief Of
the State Departments division Of
German and Austrian economic
affairs, also spoke. t
Earlier at a 2-hour policy session,
the delegates voted to urge CT Bill
benefits for widows and children of
men killed in action, but straddled
the fence on a resolution to bar
Nationwide strikes and require
labor disputes to be settled by COM
pulsory arbitration.
The benefit increase would give
widows and children the same eligi-
bility time for benefits that the
veterans would have had If they
AdQ nOC Oeeu killed.
Most heated debate of the con-
vention arose over the American
Veterans Committee (AVC), liberal
World War II group often confused
with Amyets.
Other Actions Listed.
The controversy arose In a resolu-
ton naming ave among other
veterans organizations that will be
consulted by Amvets with the idea
of consolidating action on veterans
problems in the District. Delegates
opposed naming ave, but when a
resolution condemning that group
was defeated, they decided to elm
mate names of all groups to be con-
suited.
In other actions, the convention
defeated a resolution proposing q
Federal bonus, and urged:
/. That subsistence allowances be
raised for veterans in school and
training under the CT Bill.
2. Enactment of the War De-
partment plan for universal mill
tary training.
8. That Congress grant funds to
States for State-controlled programs
to combat juvenile delinquency.
4. That enlisted mems terminal
leave bonds be accepted as down
payments on homes purchased un-
der the. CT Bill. rather than be
made negotiable immediately. s-..-

British Cabinet Ok
|0f India Split 5iirs
Civil War Question
y IN. A.soeia.sd Press

NEW DELHI. May 24.-The Brit
ish cabinets approval OF blueprint
for q divided India has raised the
Question here OF whether the parti-
tioning can be done without bring
ing on a civil war or something close
to it.
Indian authorities acknowledge
that they expect trouble. But they
do not know whether it will be
sporadic outbreaks of the type easily
controlled, or whether 1t will be
battling on a national scale between
Moslems and Hindus seeking to get
the upper hand in strife over reli-
gion, politics and loot when the
British transfer power.
There is hardly the ghost OF a
hope here that viceroy Lord Mount
batten's expected last-minute plea
for a united India will bring to-
gether the Hindus and Moslems. 1t
Is generally conceded that the Con-
gress Party and Moslen1 League viii
lagree to divide India into at least
two states, Hindustan and Pakistan.
But they violently disagree over how
and where to make the division.
Thousands Of Moslems Move.
Highlighting the partition prob
lem in country where Moslems and
Hindus always have lived side by
side Is the movement OF thousands
of Moslems from areas where they
are In a minority to neighborhoods
where they are in majority.
Hindus and Sikhs are DOING likewise.
The virus of fear and suspicion
has insinuated itself into everyday
life until the common practice of
sleeping out of doors in hot weather
has been curtailed because Of dread
of the assassin's dagger.
Day-to-day administration in the
country has deteriorated to the ex-
tent that authorities have expressed
concern.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Con-
gress Party home minister, also has
expressed concern at the forming
of private armies by various organ
| 1AdG1Okko, AcOohy VA - 4CAA6AOdo 00oAo'
The Sikhs, for instance. have openly
proclaimed the reforming of the So
called Akal regiments to protect
their people.
Army Free of Faction Feelings.
In nearly every case Of major
riots there have been accusations,
true or not, that Moslem policemen
have aided their Moslem brothers,
or Hindu policemen have helped
Hindus.
The Indian army up to now, how
ever, has been considered compare
lively free of communal feelings and
in almost all cases has performed
the job of restoring order.
The newspapers which printed to-
day the news from London Of the
cabinet decisions, told OF the latest
outbreaks in Bombay and Amritsar.
A police commmique said one was
killed and several wounded in a
village just outside Armitsar.

FARM SAFETY NOTE

BY the time the sun sets today
over 1900 buildings fires will have
killed % Americans (more than
half of them women and child
rem, destroyed nearly 1000 homes,
l40 stores, 80 factories, 6 churches,
6 school, 5 theatres and 3 hos
pitals.
In rural areas these fires are
especially destructive due to lack
of fire fighting facilities. When
fighting a fire, the first five
minutes are more important than
the next five hours. Therefore,
we should provide fire fighting
equipment for our home and in
the other farm buildings.
