The Association OF Oldest In
habitants met at the Old Union
Engine House last night to talk
about early Washington high
schools, but not much came of it
because of a spat among members.
After the routine business of
the association had been complet-
ed, John Clagett Proctor, presi-
dent, put on his hat and coat and
made efforts to 60 home. But
Jesse C. Suter said he was ready
to discuss the subject announced
for the meeting.
Mr.. Suter then began reading a
prepared statement on the history
of Central High School to show
why the school is held so high in
the hearts of its alumni.

Driscoll asked. He muttered
something about propaganda be-
ing put over in the meeting.
If you'll hold your horses long
enough, you'll find out" Mr.. Suter
responded. I've been interrupted
by the president and now by Mr..
Driscoll:"
II didn't say word" Mr.. Proc
tor exclaimed.
Other objections to discussion
Of Central High School because it
was controversial arose.
THE transfer of Central High
School from Dhite to colored
students is one OF the plans
being considered by the Board
of Education as a solution to
croUded conditions in colored
high schools hereJ
Mr.. Suter later told a reporter
his statement was only an histor-
Iical document dealing with the
subject announced for discussion
and in particular with Central
High School. He said it had moth
ing to do with the controversy over
the proposed transfer of the school
and that he walked out Of the
meeting, rather than get into an
argument with the other members
For a few minutes the other
members recalled their old school
days. Edward L. Springer told
the group that in the 1905 his
father, Francis A. Springer, one
time teacher and principal here

TRUMAN TO FIGHT FOR
 T-H REPEAL

WASHINGTON, May S.-IR- President Truman declares he will continue to fight for the repeal of the Taft Hartley labor law.
 Mir Truman said repeal and a fair law was pledged by the Demo- cratic party platform. He remind ed a new conference that his ad- ministration is in power for four years.
 And he said he still thinks an acceptable bill to enact a new labor law can be passed.
 He said he wants the Democrats in Congress to carry out the prom ises made in the Democratic plat form.
 On Capitol Hill strategists in both branches of the Congress already are charting new battle plans even as the smoke of the hectic House scrap on labor legislation still swirled.
 Public predictions of final vic- tory came from both camps-that is, from CD those who want to get rid of the Hartley Law, and @ those who want to keep most of it.
 But there was note ot re- straint even gloom - in the prl- vate comments of some legislators.

JAPAN WILL BE GIVEN AUTHORITY
 IN OWN AFFAIRS
United Stafes Issues State. meni Regarding Future
 Policy of Nation

WASHINGTON, Ma. e.-lTq-- The United States declared today that Japan should be gwen in- creasing direction of it's own af- fairs in the international field.
 A policy statement by the State Department said that, beginning this process under the occupation has obvious advantages in de- veloping a healthy international outlook" and "averting the confus- icn that might well arise from any abrupt removal Of current restric- tions after a peace treaty."
 The statement added:
 "The immediate resumption by Japan of some international re- responsibilities in such fields as trade promotion, citizenship and property problems, cultural rela- tions, technical and scientific ar arrangements and exchanges would provide a substarftial contribution to the economic recovery of Japan. 1"
 The statement was issued in ex- Dlanation of a new proposal to the 11-nation Far Eastern Commission to permit the Japanese to accept invitations to attend international conferences.
 The proposal, submitted last month, has met with objections from several of the Pacific allies, including Britain, France and the Philippines.

DELAY IN APPROVAL OF ATLANTIC PACT Y DANGEROUS TO U. S.
Emphatic Talk Is Made by Former Supreme Court
 Justice Roberts
By DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON, May 6.-R- Former Supreme Justice Owen ] Roberts says that delay in approv- ing the Atlantic Pact will encour- age Russia and damage our pres tige throughout the world"
 Roberts gave his views in a statement prepared for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is holding public hearings on rati- fication of the 12-nation defense alliance.
 The committee pushed forward with the treaty hearings despite the four-power agreement on lift ing the Berlin blockade.
 The general feeling is that while the German prospect is more hope ful there is yet no real assurance of future peace with Russia. Rob- erts emphasized this view by say ing:
 "The truth is that whenever the democracies have been afraid to acknowledge the fundamental divis- ion between dictatorship and demo- cracy, the delay has permitted the dictators to pick off the democra- cies one by one, just as Hitler did"
 He added.
 "The North Atlantic Defense Pact is an essential emergency measure to prevent an attack by Soviet Russia"
 James w. Gerard, former am bassador to Germany, told the Sen ators it is his opinion that if the Senate does not ratify the treaty now that it has been signed, we will be in a war within a year"

LAVISH RACE
 TRACK GOES
 up IN FIRE
Hollywood Park Destroy. ed with Loss of Five MiI-
 Iion-Arson Suspected
By RALPH DIGHTON

INGLEWOOD. Calif., May 6.-lRl Hollywood Park, one of Americas s most lavish race tracks, was razed by a s5,900000 fire early today, but scme 5co thoroughbred horses were spared.
 Exact cause Of the blaze was not known but police arson squads started immediate investigations because of the speed with which the fire spread. They detained two men and a boy for questioning but released them later.
 The fire started in the swank clubhouse of the multi-million dol lar plant and leaped. within min utes, through the grandstand and turf club. Shortly after the roof and upper walls of the clubhouse and turf club burned away, the walls began to crumble. Huge chunks of masonry fell, and sent firemen running for their lives.
 A Hollywood turf club spokesman said the loss was covered by in- surance.
 One fireman. Inspector Clifton Freeman, 30, Inglewood, was se:- iously injured as all available h. glewocd equipment plus some oi Los Angeles vainly fought the t,ird-svept blaze.
 Some three hours after the fire was first reported at II p. n. (PST), it was under control.
 The stands were total loss but the valuable horses on hand for the coming meeting were saved because of the stables location a half mile from the main racing oval.
 The disastrous fire dealt death blow to Hollywood Parks meeting scheduled to start May IT, but Santa Anita Park quickly offered it's facilities for the season.
