Rankin, in Answering
Eisenhower, Warns Of
Atomic Pearl Harbor'
Nv the Assoeioted Press

TUPELO, Miss, Aug. 12.-Repre-
sentative Rankin, Democrat. of Mis-
sissippi, ranking Democratic leader
of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, says the COM
mittee doesn't intend to remain idle
until the "enemies within our gates
plan and execute an atomic Pearl
Harbor."
Mr.. Rankin's assertion came in
the form of a prepared statement
yesterday in which he took issue
with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
over the current spy scare"
Gen. Eisenhower said in an inter-
view Tuesday in Denver that ne
thought the Government was doing
well enough in guarding its major
secrets and that the danger from
spies didn't seem very great.
In his reply to Gen. Eisenhower,
now president of Columbia Univer-
sity, Mr.. Rankin said in part:
II was shocked to read the state
ment of Gen. Eisenhower criticizing
the Committee on Un-American
Activities for exposing the Com
munist spy ring now operating in
this country.
"As a member of that committee,
I want Gen. Eisenhower and all
the rest Of the American people to
know that we do not intend to sit
idly by until these enemies within
our gates plan and execute an
atomic Pearl Harbor.
Instead of criticizing the COM
mittee, Gen. Eisenhower could
render a greater service by throw
ing his strength behind these in
vestigations and helping us to ex-
pose these vicious individuals and
drive them from our shores, lock
them up. or stand them against a
brick wall and give them the treat
ment they really deserve"

Plan Designed 10 Avert
Oil SHORTAGES Goes in Effect
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Secretary of the Interior Krug or
dered into effect yesterday a VOL
untary plan for the oil industry to
meet petroleum shortages next
winter.
The industry is free to use the
plan when and if oil or gasoline
shortages develop. A similar plan.
hastily organized last winter, helped
avert serious shortages in several
parts of the country.
1t calls for appointment by the
National Petroleum Council of dis
trict committees composed OF all
segments of the petroleum indus
try. Those committees may appoint
local subcommittee
Each committee is to make rec
concentrations from time to time
for voluntary action by the industry
to adjust supplies.
The pain is to end February %
or at any earlier date the Secre-
tary of the Interior may designate.
Attorney General Clark approved
the plan.

Real Anxiety in Berlin.
Yet, the outsiders only reflect the
very real anxiety of their fellow
Icountrymen in Berlin. The delib-
ierately manufactured fear and con-
fusion OF several million persons Is
bound to spread certain contagion,
even to the small military and
civilian garrison of the Berlin out
post.
1t would appear, however, that
the Yankee men and women, like
their friends in the British and
French sectors, have built up quite
an immunity to that sort of disease.
They remainder with pride. if not
pleasure. places like Corregidor, Ba-
taan and Singapore.
Some of the GI's are inclined to
take a cynical and rather dim view
of the situation. In one barracks
they were making book on who
would be the Macarthur and who
would be the Wainwright Of Berlin.
The city was so full of rumors last
week that the soldiers were inclined
to shrug them off. or eXaggerate
likely items for the benefit of the
recruits.
Were the lights going out earlier
in the barracks next week, or had
the Super Forts finally perfected
a means of delivering the necessary
coal by dropping it from their
bomb bays?
This experiment, incidentally,
never got beyond preliminary field
tests and was abandoned by the
high command which felt that
million dollar bombers should be
reserved for higher missions.
Water Supply Bad.
Was the Red blockade and our
counter blockade on local Soviet
train movements about to be lifted
by the diplomatic conference in
Moscow? That one originated from
an overenthusiastic wire service re-
port picked up by the theater paper
and later discounted. :.
It seemed likely that all person.
mel would be required to complete
typhoid immuniZation shots if the
city water supply did not improve.
and there was talk that all but radio
communications would be severed
between Berlin and the American
Zone
The tangle over who controlled
the Berlin police force gave no sign
Of improvement. and who, if any
body, was going to pay city employees

deposits?

inches of rain fell in the torrential
downpour and waves were high on
the Bay.

Students Told Women
Develop Neuroses
Trying 10 Be Mannish

Women are making themselves
neurotic trying to be too much like
men and trying too hard to retain
their youth, the Rev, Daniel A.
Lord, S. j., director of the Summer
School Of Catholic Action, believes.
Making a reference to the plight
of modern women in a lecture to
the students who are attending the
school at Catholic University this
week, he expanded later for the
press.
One of the main reasons for the
prevalence of neurotic women is
the persistent effort to retain
youth, to remain juvenile at time
that demands adult emotions and
thinking" Father Lord said. He
also blamed their effort to be like
men and the doing of two jobs
one at an Office and one at home.
Lack Of sufficient children to fill
their lives with emotional satisfac-
ton and the collapse OF their rell-
gious foundation were given also
as causes of neuroses.
Modern woman has initiated man
In his misuse of leisure. he declared.
Most people have lost the ability
to enjoy any recreation except
mechanical or spectator, he said,
adding that schools of the future
will have to specialize in education
for leisure.
Homemaking is easier noW-trom
a technical standpoint-because OF
labor saving devices, Father LORD
said. But. still homemaking docs
not depend on the manipulation OF
gadgets," he said, but on the spirit
of the home"
Another speaker at the school
today, the Rev. Richard v. Lawler,
S. j.. of Boston College, said the
present opportunities for the ex-
pansion of the church through its
mission program are unparalleled
The sections of the church suf-
fering the cruel lash of persecu-
ton now are our particular re-
sponsibility," he declared. he
named Communist dominated China
as an example of the church under
fire"
1000 Pledge Aid.
Christianity today is in its in
fancy, as far as geographical expan-
sion is concerned. he said. He
called upon men and women OF theI
United States to join in doing the
Job, either by giving their lives toI
the missions or by prayer and en-
couragement and financial support"
at home.
At last nights meeting, the more
than 1000 students attending the
school pledged new garment each
for a suffering child in war dev-
astated areas. This pledge followed
a speech by Miss Dorothy j. Will
man of the Executive Board Of the
International Federation Of Catholic
Youth, in which she described the
plight of European children.
The drive for garments is being
sponsored by the National Council
of Catholic Women and will be,
administered through the Catholic
War Relief Services.
The school will close night classes
tomorrow and day classes Saturday.
