Woman RecIuse, Born
To Riches, Found Dead
In. Debris-FiIIed Flat
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Feb. ia 52-year-
old woman recluse, the once beau-
tiful daughter of a wealthy patent
attorney, was found dead last night
in her debris filled, rat-infested
Manhattan apartment.
The body of Mary Warner Fow-
Ter, who neighbors said rarely had
left her quarters in the last 20
years, was lying on the bathroom
floor. Police, summoned to invests
gate an odor in the building, said
she had been dead at least week,
Detectives said such a weird COLI
lection of junk had not been dis
covered in New York since a year
ago when they broke into the upper
Fifth avenue home OF Homer and
Langley Collyer to find both men
dead.
Piled High With Junk.
The only space through which a
person could walk in the $150-a-
month apartment was a passageway
leading to the woman's bedroom and
another leading to the bathroom.
There were cartons of food, piles
of tin cans which had contained
food, great stacks of newspapers, old
clothes, rags. magazines and every
kind of household utensil. The
stacks of newspapers reached nearly
to the ceiling.
Detectives said rats scurried
through the debris when they en-
tered the apartment at Bill West
Ninety fifth street, between West
End avenue and Riverside drive.
Supplies Pushed Through Door
Miss Fowler's father died in 1923
and three years later her mother
died. Both were buried in historic
Trinity churchyard at Broadway
and Wall Street. Neighbors said
that since the death of her mother,
Miss Fowler rarely left the apart
ment. She had no electric lights,
although she did have telephone.
She occasionally telephoned a
neighborhood grocery for supplies.
When groceries were delivered she
opened the door only wide enough
for them to be pushed inside and
thrust her band out with the money.
Police said she was last seen a
week ago when gas man was ad-
mitted to the apartment to make
repairs.

Yet, in compar- ison, America is spending far more for education and is pro- viding more higher education for more people than any socialized state has yet done. Contrary to all the scare talk, there is no cri- sis in education that requires federal action!
 What America actually needs today is deep moral purpose in her education, rather than a more eXtravagant system. Our educa- tional advantages have increased greatly in the past 40 years, but the juvenile crime rate has in creased just as fast. There are those who would make federal aid the answer to juvenile delin- quency, a problem which goes back largely to home and parents. Yet, the moral purpose that Am erica needs so much suffers a real setback every time we hand individual freedom to federal bureaucratS.

 Debate in Portland Over Communism

Continued from Page OneJ of the day.
 On the affirmative the Min nesotan called for a halt to "cod- ding" Communists, and asked the enactment of new laws to deny Communism "the blessing of le- gality" under which it is now permitted to worm it's way to power.
 Branding Communists "the one threat of war" to America, Stas- sen said the nation should not stumble along with laws that are out of date"
 Dewey took the position that existing federal laWs-some 27 of them-Were adequate to pro- secute criminal Communist un- dermining of the government.
 ''I am unalterably, Whole-heart- edly and unswervingly against any scheme to write laws out lawing people because of their religious, political, social or econ omic ideas" he declared.

Draft Law Threatens
Apprentice Programs

New York - David S. Miller,
president of the Producers Coun-
Gil, warned that the new selective
service law may cause serious with
drawals from the ranks of con-
struction employees and reverse a
trend toward the employment of a
greater number of apprentices in
the building industry.
The number of apprentices en-
ployed in May. numbered 131 ,0CO,
an increase of 80 per cent over
the same month in 1947.
Although the number of appren-
tees has increased at a faster rate
than the volume Of new building
during the past year, the supply of
skilled building workers is "tight"
in some localities at a time when
the volume of new construction is
expected to be larger than year
ago, Mr.. Miller declared.
Mr.. Miller credited the Bureau
of Apprenticeship of the Depart
ment of Labor with bringing about
much of the increase in the number
of apprentices through cooperation
with employers and labor in sett-
ing up improved training programs.

Philippine Group Honors
Gompers, AL; MednY Gets
Fluu As Token Of Esteem

Washington-In two ceremonies
here Philippine worker delegates
to the International Labor Confer
ence paid tribute to the memory OF
Samuel Gompers, founder of the
American Federation of Labor, and
affirmed their close and friendly
ties with the AFL.
The Philippine delegation, led by
Aurelio Intertas, president of the
Philippine Longshoremen's Union,
placed a wreath on the Gompers
Memorial statue in token of the ap-
probation "of the universal good
that the founder of the American
Federation of Labor bequeathed to
the workingman the world over"
In another ceremony, a flag of the
Philippine Republic was presented
to the AFL on behalf of the Ma
tional Confederation of Trade
Unions in the Philippines as a tan
gible expression of the past and
continuing friendship between the
labor movements in the Philippines
and the United States. The flag
was accepted by George Meany,
AFL secretary-treasurer, acting for
William Green, AFL president, who
was out of the city.
Attending the brief but impress
sive ceremony at the Gompers
monument were George Meany,
Frank Fenton, the AFL's interna-
tional representative Serafino Ro-
mualdi, Latin American representa-
tive for the AFL, and the Philip
pine delegation, composed Of Mr..
Intertas, Pedro Ferndandez, vice
president of the Longshoremen's
Union, and Ruperto Cristobal, gen
eral secretary of the National Con-
feration of Labor Union in the
Philippines.
In his tribute to Gompers' mem
ory, Intertas, speaking for the
group, declared that "as long as
there are men who are willing to
dedicate their lives and their fu-
ture to the welfare of the working
men and women, there will always
be hope for world peace and pros
perity."
Referring to the international
Labor Organization, the Philippine
spokesmen declared that organiza-
tions of this nature are a boon to
workers because they seek to adj
vance not only the welfare of the
workingman but also the relation
ship between labor, capital and
government SO that in the end a
middleground is established for the
