B. G. p. Club Hears
Talks ON Politics
|Bv Partv Leaders

Pointing out that Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey has recognized the ability
of women by placing them in key
positions in his State, Mrs. Leona
M. Rush, member of the Maryland
House of Delegates, predicted last
night that he would continue that
recognition should he be elected
president.
At the same time, Mrs. Charles
w. Tillett, vice chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
called on the COP standard bearer
to explain his use of the word
unity in his campaigns addresses.
Unity on whose terms?" she
asked. Surely the candidate can
not really mean that if a candidate
is elected every one will henceforth
agree with him. I hold that in a
democracy citizens are united only
in their determination to be free of
unity. People have come to
this country through the years to
think, speak, worship and assemble
as they please. They fed from
unity because it was intolerable."
Mrs. Tillett and Mrs. Rush, who
represented the Republican Ma
tional Committee, spoke before the
District Business and Professional
Women's Club at a meeting held at
the YWCA in connection with the
|ocal observance of national busi-
ness women's week"
The theme of the observance is
'use your vote in 49," and both
speakers emphasized that women
have an obligation and RESPONSE
bility to participate in politics.
I'VE are now reaping the results
Of the work started by the original
leaders in the woman's suffrage
movement" Mrs. Rush pointed out.
The right to our own earnings, the
right to control our own property
the legal right to our children, and
many other advantages that our
original crusaders worked so dill
gently to get for us in spite Of the
opposition and ridicule they en-
dured to reach that goal. But re-
member that hand in hand with
privileges 60 responsibility and
obligation. When we were enfran-
chised we did not simply gain the
privilege Of voting - automatically
there was laid upon us the respon-
sibility Of exercising the right to
vote in an intelligent and informed
fashion"
Mrs. Tillet declared that both DO
litical parties have the responsibility
of making both the woman with a
family and the woman with a job
realize that voting is must" The
Democratic woman leader, however,
devoted most of her talk to a dis
cussion of the campaign issues and,
among other things, criticized the
Eightieth Congress for its failure to
boost minimum wages and to pass
legislation providing for Federal aid
to education.
During q business session which
preceded the addresses, the B. and
P. Club adopted a proposal to es-
tablish a health fund to provide
financial help for members of the
club and their families in the event
of sickness or accident. The pro-
posal was made by the Health and
Safety Committee, headed by DR..
Agnes L. McNutt.

dent of, the. club.

Reuppointinq the Acc

There should be no doubt in the Senate's
mind about promptly confirming the Pres
ident's reappointment of Chairman
Lilienthal and the four other members
OF the United States Atomic Energy
one-year terms will come to an end in
August, and simple common sense, plus
their own record, argues unanswerably for
their continuance in office.
As provided by the Atomic Energy Act,
the terms after August are to run for
periods Of from one to ive years, so as
to create vacancy in the Acc every
year. The present members certainly have
earned reappointment on that basis. They
have proved their excellent qualifications
to discharge the tremendous responsible
ties that have been imposed upon them.
Within a matter of months, after taking
over from the military, they have organ
lied the commission into one of the
Governments most efficient civilian estab-
liShments.
This has been no small task. In less
than year, Mr.. Lilienthal and his COL
leagues have not only had to educate
OlICLloClFCS III u HCW UClu Ol
abstract and applied science, but they
have also had to pioneer in administering
an unprecedented law and operating a
gigantic enterprise with vast physical
plant and myriad complex subsidiary
undertakings. Wholly apart from running
Los Alamos, Oak Ridge and Hanford, they
have had to pass upon and supervise a
great network of experimental projects
carried out on a contractual basis with
industries, universities and other private
and public agencies throughout the land.
Above all, working in close liaison with
the military, the Acc under Mr. Lilienthal
has had to devote by far the most of its
attention and energy to the development
of Aweapons. It has done this 80 vigor-
ously and so effectively that our key
defense authorities have expressed COM
plete and unanimous satisfaction with it.
The record in this respect is altogether
clear and impressive. 1t testifies eloquently
to the senselessness OF Senator Wherrys
recent proposal to abolish the civilian
Acc and return control of the atom to
the Army-a proposal that would result in
an administrative upheaval and probably
do damage to our security by making our
atomic project a mere sideline of a sub
department of the armed forces.
The American people have a right to
expect that the reappointment of the Ave
man Acc will not serve as signal to
some Senator'S to press for the adoption
Of an idea as unsound as Mr.. Wherry's.
They have q right to expect, too, that the

Response of the Miners

The message which John L. Lewis has
sent to the rank-and-file OF the United
Mine Workers, urging the men to return
to work Immediately, is an indication that
Mr.. Lewis has decided against an about
forcible challenge Of the authority OF the
Federal courts.
1t is to be hoped that this Is correct,
for the inevitable result Of such challenge
would be either disaster for the United
Mine Workers or the most serious impair
ment of the ability of the Government 10
function.
Looking back over the events OF the past
few weeks, it is hard to believe that the
United Mine Workers and, indeed, most
major unions were at the point OF collapse
fifteen years ago. That unionism is thriv-
ing today is due very largely If not entirely
to aid and encouragement given by the
Government. The aim was to build strong
unions and the avowed purpose was to
enable the workers to bargain on terms OF
equality with their employers.
That stage has long since been reached
and passed The question now Is whether
union development has reached point
where union leaders cannot only bargain
but actually dictate to the Government
That, in essence, is what Mr.. Lewis has
been trying to do. For some reason,
perhaps the s1,42o,ooo in fines imposed by
Justice Goldsborough, or possibly be-
lated appreciation of the folly OF his
course, he has evidently had change OF
heart. But the latent threat remains.
1t may be possible to meet this threat
II the higher courts will sustain the new
rule of law enunciated by Justice Colds
borough, namely, that "as long as union
Is functioning as a union it must be held
responsible for the mass action OF Its
members" Certainly this rule, or some
such rule, is reasonable and necessary. For
without it, one can see only too clearly
that the long-range alternatives are the
destruction of unions or the collapse OF
Government.

Dancer Season for Children

Traffic accident reports over the past
week end make 1t plain that the new safety
campaign by the Traffic Advisory Board
Is we'll timed. A dozen children were in
jured during the Saturday Sunday recess.
Most of the accidents resulted from care
lessness of children at play-altheugh
some of the accidents possibly might have
been prevented had motorists remembered
that the danger season for children on the
streets is at hand.
In voting to spend $1,000 during the
next two months in an effort to reduce
the child-accident toll, the board has
recognized that the advent of warm
weather and the return of another vaca-
ton period invariably bring new sperils
for city children. Released from school,
the thousands of children are turned loose
to play without the supervision to which
they have been accustomed. They are
thus exposed to trafac hazards to 4 far
greater degree than during the school
term. The traf1c records annually show
the dire results.
The board plans to publish = special
pamphlet stressing the parents RESPONSE
bilities in the safety campaign. 1t is the
theory OF the board that this point has
not been given the emphasis it deserves.
Certainly the parents Of child cannot
afford to leave entirely to school authori-
ties the indoctrination OF youth with safety
principles. Yet too many mothers and
fathers devote altogether too little time
to impressing upon their offspring the need
for crossing only at crosswalks, observing
signals and refraining from using the
streets for play purposes.
Children being what they are, however,
no type Of educational campaign will be
80 effective IS to relieve the motorist Of
his primary obligation to drive more care
fully than ever when school Is out It
Is never safe to assume that the child
just ahead on the sidewalk will remain
there from one minute to the next. The
urge to retrieve a ball or chase a wayward
pup may lead a child into the path of
danger without thought OF the risks in
volved. Thus, the need for alertness by
drivers will be as great during this coming
summer season as ever before-possibly
more so, in view Of the greater number OF
cars on the streets. Traffic accident
analyses indicate that little extra vigi-
lance by motorists at this time of the
year may save young lives or spare some
children from being permanently or
temporarily injured. That is something
worth more than q passing thought
