Peace Unit Hears
Talks by British,
French Experts
By Ruth Dean

Praise for the first six months re-
suits of the Marshall Plan and ex-
pressions Of hope for its continuance
until Europe Is back on its feet"
were voiced yesterday by represent
atives Of France and Great Britain
at a luncheon meeting Of the Wash
ington Chapter. Women's Action
Committee for Lasting Peace.
The speakers were Gordon Huson,
economic specialist for the Once of
Information of the British Embassy,
and Jean Louis Mandereau, chief of
the French Supply Division of the
French Embassy.
Hailing ERP as "a ladder pushed
out to save a drowning Europe in
time" Mr.. Huson urged its con-
t:nuance with the appeal, I'VE are
not out OF the water yet. If you
want lasting peace, it's up to you to
see the ladder is not taken away
too soon."
The speaker pointed to the es-
tablishment of the Organization for
European Economic Cooperation by
the l6 Marshall Plan" countries as
great achievement" and proof of
the faith engendered by the ERP
program.
M. Mandereau also praised the
work Of the OEEC which he said
has been common ground where
European economic problems could
be brought, discussed freely and in
formally and solutions suggested
without much publicity but with
good will and good faith"
Both Mr.. Huson and M. Man.
dereau reviewed the material bene-
fits of the aid program to their re-
spective countries.
1T is because you are sending us
the essentials of production and of
living" Mr.. Huson declared, that
We are able to progress in putting
our house in order and provide the
wherewithal to make our country
viable, that Is, pay for itself, or cease
to run at a loss by the end of ERP
in 1852"
France suffered a setback with
a bad harvest last year, M. Man.
dereau pointed out. but with a good
harvest this year, she hopes to use
the amount she spent for food last
year for increased imports of raw
materials.
The Marshall Plan has had a
great" psychological effect on the
French people. he asserted. They
are slowly beginning totrealize 1t is
costing each. American citizen $35
in aid to them, he said.
When asked what the Marshall
Plan has done to combat Commu-
nism, M. Mandereau suggested it
would be more to the point to ask
what has been the effect of the
Marshall Plan on the COMMUNISTS"
Had it not been for the aid. he
assured mis- audience, the Commu-
nists would have gained control of
the government in both italy and
France,
A temporary solution must be
found to the strike situation in
France, M. Mandereau replied to
another question. He said the
French government cannot meet
higher wage demands until pro-
duction is increased which in turn
is dependent on acquisition of more
equipment.
William Westlake, chief of press
for the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration which Is directing the
aid program, also was a luncheon
guest. Mrs Richard Harkness, act
ing chairman of the Women's Ac-
ton Committee, presided at the
meeting which was held at the

Voteless League
Hears Educator
At luncheon
By Frances Lide

The suggestion that something
like our psychological warfare pro-
gram" should be carried out in
times Of a precarious peace was
made by DR.. Claude E. Hawley in
an address yesterday before the
voteless District League of Women
Voters.
The speaker, who Is chief of the
Division of Social Sciences in the
United States Office of Education,
formerly served as commanding Of
ficer Of the psychological warfare
detachment under Gen. Macarthur
in the Pacific Theater.
Explaining that the purpose of
the psychological war campaign was
to let the enemy know what kind
Of people We were, DR.. Hawley con-
tinued: 1T is equally important to-
day to let other nations know what
kind of people We are and for us,
in turn, to know what kind Of peo-
Piles they are"
The possibilities of war will be
greatly reduced he added, when
other nations know Americans like
Kansans know Nebraskans."
Asked later to suggest the tools
for such a program, the speaker
said the radio probably was the
most important medium through
which democracies could share their
knowledge with the other peoples
of the world.
DR.. Hawley, whose subject was
Decisions Facing the American
People" said the most important
issue today is democracy versus die
tatorship.
Calling the term, democracy" q
basic American symbol, he declared
that its meaning, both to Americans
and the rest Of the world, must be
reasserted with greater conviction
than ever before.
He also emphasized the import
ance of having goals for democracy
If we don't know what our goals
are" he said, I'VE don't know
whether or not we are moving
toward or away from where we want
to go"
While he maintained that the
achievement of any one goal is in
terdependent on the others, the
speaker declared that shared
knowledge" is first and foremost.
Other objectives, ne said, include
shared power" with the term
power" being used to denote the
right to make decisions; balanced
economy" shared security" shared
respect" which he defined as recog-
milton Of the essential dignity OF
man, and shared skill" which he
said might also be called the oppor-
tunity to acquire skill.
DR.. Hawley, who addressed the
leagues opening luncheon Of the
season at the YWCA, said he was
speaking as an individual rather
than in an official capacity.
Mrs. John F. Thomas, league
president, presided at the luncheon
which was preceded by an open
board meeting. The program fea-
tured a report on the work of the
Absentee Voters Service maintained
by the league in the lobby of The
Star Building.
Mrs. Clarence Fisher, director Of
the service. said it already has given
information to more than 5000 on
voting regulations in the various
States.
Absentee voting doesn't have the
thrill of going directly to q polling
place. she conceded. But since we
have only the mailing box In the
District. send your vote back until
such time as the league can help
bring your vote home to you right
here in the District"

Saturday night in the Orange Bowl,
in the 18th annual Orange Blossom
Classic football game
Displaying a variety of powerful
plays, the Virginia Boys scored first
in the middle Of the first period and
remained in the lead throughout the
contest. 1t was simply a plain case
of too much Virginia Union for the
Florida boys.
The visitors scored once i'm the
first period, twice i'm the second,
twice in the third and once i'm the
fourth to amass the second highest
score ever made by a team during
the history of the annual classic.

Early Morning Fire
Destroys Negro Cafe

The Elite Cafe No. l, negro eating
establishment owned by Mann Smith
was completely destroyed by fire
which broke out early Sunday
morning.
The fire was discovered by Smith
about 3 a. m. and he hurriedly called
the fire department which rushed to
the blaze. The local firemen and
spectators who were awakened by
the roaring of the fire and loud ex-
plosions poured water into the build
ing which was so hot it cracked win
dows across the street. Their efforts
were futile however, a the fire had
made too much Roadway and was
out Of control. w. L. Ellis and Sons
building was ignited by the heat
and sparks from the cafe fire and
suffered some damage to the roof.
The Elite Cafe building also hous-
ed the living quarters Of Smith and
his family, a combination grocery
and cafe, a fish market and a bill
lard hall.
Cause Of the fire was undetermin-
cd. Damage was estimated at about
$4,000 and was covered partially
by insurance, according to Mann
