IF you HAVE A DRY SKIN

If you have a dry skin you
must be doubly careful as such
skin wrinkles easily. The thing
to do is to begin at. once with the
use OF a good oily nourishing
cream in order that the dryness
may not get in its work before
hand. Try cleansing the face with
a nourishing cream an dthen use
the same cream as an all-night
cream to sing into the skin while
you sleep. In this way you cheat
the wrinkles and hold oil dage at
hay.

British Atom Scientist
Backs Soviet Against
u. 5. Plan for Control
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

LONDON, Oct. 15.-A top British
atom scientist says Russia would be
foolish to accept American pro-
posals for control Of atomic energy
He is Patrick Maynard S. Blackett,
professor of physics at Manchester
University. He was q member OF
the British governments Advisory
Committee on Atomic Energy.
Mr.. Blackett, in a book, Military
and Political Consequences OF
Atom Energy" published today, says
he does not believe the atomic bomb
Is a decisive military weapon or
that "a quick and cheap military de.
cision can be achieved even with
atomic bombs in a war against q
great power"
Not Active Politically.
I'm truth" Mr.. Blackett writes,
I'VE conclude that the dropping of
atomic bombs was not so much the
last military act Of the Second
World War as the first act of the
cold diplomatic war with Russia
now in progress"
THE hurried dropping of the
bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
was a brilliant success in that all
political objectives were fully
achieved" Mr.. Blackett said. Amer
ican control of Japan is complete
and there is no struggle for author
ity there with Russia"
Mr.. Blackett Is not active politi-
cally. In one of his rare utterances
on political subjects he has support

Evening star., 1948-10-15
By Jerry o'leory,, JI

The nature of his work-procur-
ing and installing complex COM,
munications equipment for the Dis
trict-has kept Superintendent Of
Communications Herbert A. Friede
under close official and public sur
veillance for many of the IS years
he has worked for the city govern
ment.
A new chapter was added to his
long and troubled history yesterday
when the Commissioners abruptly
spiked all bids for purchase of Ger
tain inter-ofiice communications
equipment for the Vehicles and
Traffic Department, based on
specifications drawn by Mr.. Friede.
They acted after the Justice De-
partment's Antitrust Division in.
tervened with q complaint that the
specifications were 80 worded that
only the Webster Electric Co. could
bid successfully. -
It was his contracts with the
Gamewell Co-another manufac-
turer of electrical equipment-whica
caused the city heads to announce
last, April that they, felt definite
'uneasiness" about Mr.. Friede's re-,
lationship with the Gamewell Co.
Authority Curtailed.
In. February, 1s47, they abruptly
removed Mr.. Friede from his duties
as superintendent Of District fire
alarms and handed that authority
over to Fire Chief Clement Murphy.
Mr.. Friede thus lost control, over
night, of the Mcmillan Reservoir
firm alarm headquarters and about
1900 fire alarm boxes throughout
the city.
He still has control, however, Of
the underground fire alarm cables,
police call boxes and telephone lines
entering the District Building.
Chief Murphy first sought con-
troll of the fire alarm system in the
spring of 1916. Mr.. Friede made a
personal attack on him In retalia-
tion and this made them enemies.
Mr.. Friede, who came to Wash
lngton from Wheeling, w. Va, in
1888 to assume control Of the fire
alarm system, first got into hot
water here in November, ls46.
A Federal grand jury In Boston
indicted the Gamewen Co. Of Upper
Newton Falls, Mass, on charges Of
monopolizing the manufacture and
distribution of fire alarm equipment
in the United States.
Friede Granted Immunity.
1t was brought out in the investi-
cation that more than 80 per cent
Of the fire alarm equipment in the
District was Gamewell-made-
Mr.. Friede was subpoenaed before
the grand jury and received the
Immunity granted such witnesses.
The Justice Department discov-
cred 76 letters in the Gamewell
Co.'S files, allegedly referring to Mr..
Friede and indicating close Coop
Grafton between them.
An investigation by Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West subse-
quently resulted in a statement by
Mr.. West that he had been unable
to decide whether Mr.. Friede wrote
the Districts fire alarm equipment
specifications the way he did be-
cause of friendship for Gamewell
officials, or because he felt the
Gamewell product was superior to
any other. 4
In any event, Mr.. West said, MIR.
Friede used bad judgment" In
Evening star., 1948-10-15
Frede's Specification Drawing
Aouin Gets Him in Hot Water

delegating to Gamewell officials the
complete drafting Of specifications.
The Commissioners never have
been able to decide what to do about
Mr.. Friede. Commissioner John
Russell Young has been constantly
outspoken In his desire to fire Mr.
Friede.
Commissioner Guy Mason and
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young, however, decided no puni-
tive action should be taken in re.
gard to the Gamewell affair for
three reasons:
l. There was no proof that MIR
Friede was actuated by improper
motives.
2. There was nothing to show that
he gained personally.
3. The Corporation Counsel was
satisfied no trial board would sus-
tain charges against Mr.. Friede
based on the Gamewell incident.
Interested After Indictment.
Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee has twice asked
the, Commissioners why they keep
Mr.. Friede on the payroll.
The Boston grand jury appeared
most interested in the fact that Mr.
Friede, while in charge Of the Dis
trict's fire alarm system, had written
specifications for new equipmen;
that could be bid on successfully
only by the Gamewell Co.
Mr.. Friede himself has had al.
most nothing to say about the
charges lodged against him. He did
however, say he could not remem-
Der writing a letter in which he
allegedly said to Gamewell execu-
tive:
Gee, I'm pleased with the way
things are shaping up. must write
these specifications air-tight and
also In such a way as not to give
anybody else a chance TO-
Let me hear from you at once
I, Your pal, FRIEDE."
New Clash With Murphy.
More recently. Chief Murphy and
Mr.. Friede clashed in another out
break of open warfare, involving
efforts by Mr.. Friede to install q
remote control" fire alarm box
made exclusively by the Gamewell
Coin the Birney School. Mr.
Friede, according to Chief Murphy
refuses to install a conventional
type street box at the new school
at Nichols avenue and Sumner road
Sc. II a street box Is used, MIR.
Friede refuses to run wires into the
school from the street.
This controversy. which broke out
last month, is before the Commis-
sioners at this time, and a ruling
lis expected shortly after the Com
missioners take up the dispute at
a closed hearing on October 10.
