belief in the Importance of the Ma

community can make this years

The Washington chest X-ray sur
vey today entered its second week
with sponsors predicting it would
gain momentum as neighborhood
units become more active.
A first-week response of $4,000
was more than the average needed
to complete the study of the Dis

scheduled six months. +
Survey officials acknowledged
however, that the campaign Jagged
somewhat during the first few days
when neighborhood units got off to

confidential nature of the entire
program.

clans from the United States Public

result of any chest X-ray.
Once the reading is made, the
subject is privately informed. For
those reported negative, that ends

Criticism Of Fairmac
By Priest Declared
Communist Defense

A Catholic priests criticism Of
the Fairmac Corp. for refusing to
negotiate with striking maintenance
workers in Harrington was labeled
today by . company spokesman as
q defense of communistic practices.
The corporation was rebuked yes.
terday by the Rev. Martin T. Quinn
in q statement to his congregation
at the Blessed Sacrament Church.
He said the management's attitude
constituted a denial Of demo-
cratic American moral principle.
II don't think this corporation has
any right to refuse to deal with the
union," Father Quinn said.
Tells Of Conferences.
He told the congregation that he
and several Protestant ministers
had conferred with William Ziegler,
manager Of Fairmac, and were in
formed that one reason the firm re-
fused to deal with the strikers was
alleged former Communist member
ship of a certain union employe.
Communism is the second great
est danger in our American way of
life," he said. 1.-THE greatest is that
big business is becoming bigger -;
the little business man is being put
out OF business"
In the conference with manage
ment, Father Quinn said, effort was
made to divert us from the
principle of collective bargaining by
giving us over and over again the
doings of the strikers He said
the ministers held those actions to
be common among all strikers.
Position Is Unchanged.
Charles E.. v. Prins, public rela-
tions counsel for the corporation,
declared in a formal statement that
the company's position was un-
changed by the priests remarks.
I'VE have no comment to make
on this amazing defense of admitted
Communists" Mr.. Prins said, "but,
OF course, our position remains un-
Mr.. Prins said at least one striker
admitted in court that he was for
merly a member of the Communist
Party. He referred to Clarence Dar-
row Gurewitz, who was convicted in
the Arlington County Court of
charges growing out of strikers ac-
tivities.

Republican Leaders,
Meeting Today, Seek
Views Of 7 Generals
BY the Assoeioted Press

Two generals who weren't
there-Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. MacArthur-figured prom
inently in presidential specula-
ton as the Republican National
Committee met today to issue a
formal call for the party's June
nominating convention in Phila-
delphia.
Neither Gen. Macarthur nor Gen
Eisenhower was represented even
unof6cially, as were other actual
and potential candidates. But there
was much discussion of their
chances if a convention stalemate
arises between such announced
aspirants as Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York, Senator Taft Of Ohio
and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen
of Minnesota.
Several National Committee men,
bers, representing the regular party
organization, made it plain in in
formal discussions with their COL
leagues that they want Gen. Eisen-
hoWer's views on national and world
issues in detail before they would
be willing to consider him as a
candidate.
Feeling Similar on Macarthur.
There was some of the same
feeling about Gen. Macarthur.
In this vein, Senator Morse of
Oregon told a reporter he thinks
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire,
who is sponsoring an Eisenhower
slate of delegates in New Hamp-
shire, would be doing the party a
service if he would find out just
how the general stands on domes-
tic issues.
what T would be interested in
finding out is whether Senator
Tobey can give us assurance that
Gen. Eisenhower shares Senator
Tobey's view on social and eco
nomic questions" Morse who, like
Senator Tobey, doesn't always &c
along with his party colleagues, said.
"If he can, he would discover a
growing interest in Gen. Eisenhower
among progressive Republicans,
who, I predict, will hold the balance
of power in the Philadelphia con-
vention."
Oklahoma Interested.
Senator Morse was not one OF
those who took part in early con-
ferences with National Committee
members, but Representative Ridley
of Oklahoma said after talks with
some committee members that a
great many people in his State
seem interested in the generals pos
sible candidacy.
Lew H. Wentz, Oklahoma national
committeeman, who is supporting
Gov. Dewey, declined comment. j
Russell Sprague, New York commit
teeman, told a reporter his States
97-member delegation will be
unanimous" for Gov. Dewey.
Another Dewey supporter, who
asked not to be quoted by name
said the New York Governors stra-
tegists regard Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Macarthur as the chief threats
in their campaign for a second NOM
ination for Gov. Dewey.
Taft Supporters Confident.
But Taft supporters contend their
candidate is coming up fast and will
challenge Gov. Dewey for the lead
on the first ballot at the convention
With members of the Budget and
Finance Committees going over the
party's monetary situation with
State finance chairmen, the entire
group scheduled dinner tonight
at which Senator Knowland OF CAL
ifornia will be the principal speaker.
The committee Is expected to ap-
prove finance goal of $1,000, 900 for
this years campaign and to approve
convention arrangements at sessions

Pay Heed To Highway Signs
And Stick Around Awhile

Signs and signals are among the
biggest helps to safe driving. the
National Safety council says.
They give drivers warning Of the
dangers that lie ahead. But they
are worthless unless seen and
obeyed. The safe driver will fol-
low these signposts:
/. Give signs, signals and mark

may lose if you cheat.
2. Reduce speed and be on
guard when you see diamond

warning) or round sign this sig
nifies railroad crossing is ahead.
8. Come to complete stop at
an eight-sided or octagonal sign.
This shape means only one thing
stop!
4. Know what an oblong sign
says. This shape carries regulatory
messages such as speed limit.
5. Heed the cross-buck sign at
railroad crossings. II there is a
flasher or wig-wag. wait until 1t
stops operating before crossing.
The:c may be another train you
can't see.
6. Watch for the signs of life
even on familiar roads. Three
fourths of the drivers in fatal acct
dents lived within 25 miles Of
where the accident took place.

fewer runs. If nylons are one of
your economic problems you might
want to try out their ideas.
Preventative Measures-No more
snags and runs from rough desk and
chair edges in school. if you take a
piece of sandpaper along with you
and do competent smoothing down
job. Then the only disaster you need
fear when you get up to go to the
blackboard is not knowing the right
answers
First-Aid Equipment-Carry col
orless nail polish with you wherev-
er you go to stop those runs in their
tracks. Use bright red nail polish to
identify your stockings with your
initials at the tops to avoid con-
fusion with other nylons in the fam
lily. Nail polish is good for the nails,
too-in case you forget.
Proven PrecautiOns-Wash your
new nylons before you wear them
and wash after each wearing. One
teen tells us a pinch of salt in the
first rinsing strengthens the fibres.
We only have her word for it. Don't
hang them over the radiator to dry.
If your nails and hands are rough,
put on a pair of cotton gloves be-
for handling your nylons.

claimed breathleSsly.
Gramma Strengthened her neat
black toque and got herself better
organized. Then Ncdra's voice
came suddenly accusingly. "And
you knew it all the time You did
this on purpose" She whired
around angrily. I'm going to my
cabin and I'm going to stay there"
Nedra kept her word. She stayed
in all day, even though after she'd
had her dinner, Gramma reminded
her that there was nothing on earth
more beautiful than a moonlit eve
ming at sea.
"What do l care about a silly old
moon," Nedra retorted in a voice
that shook with tears.
1T SEEMED a stalemate, so Gram
1 ma went on deck alone and soon
found John, his boyish face looking
tired and drawn even in the semi
light. Gramma Slipped into the
chair beside him, and he said un-
happily, Look here, Gramma, a

voice trailed away sadly.

Nedra's voice was happy whisper.

dearest, that love is something that

ly.
Neither of them was aware that
the wind had ceased its wild roar
and the deceitful sea had suddenly
become as calm and benign as a
summer day.
Still holding each other in a close
embrace, they hardly heard Cram

murmured softly as she went into
