BY the Assoeioted Press

a..
SOUTHAMPTON, England,
Feb. 4.-The battered Ameri-
can liner Washington went into
drydock for repairs today.
A gale drove the 23.626-ton yes
sci into a quay while she was
docking here yesterday. Her
bows were cracked and her port
side gashed open.
The United States Lines said
experts had not yet decided
whether to make temporary or
permanent repairs.
If they decide on temporary re-
pairs, the Washington will leave
Tuesday for Cuxhaven, Germany,

In a report made public last
night. it also recommended:

3. Broader unemployment in

as public works programs.
Underemployment Stresses.
The study was made by sub
committee of the Joint Committee

Representative Hart, Democrat. of
New Jersey, as chairman. In It's
findings. the group commented:
Much attention has been CIV

tomorrow in a closed session. It
was on an FBI tip that the atomic
scientist, DR.. Klaus Fuchs, was
arrested and jailed by British au-
thorities.
Senator Mcmahon said there
was no doubt that the 38-year-old
Fuchs. naturalized British citi-
zen of German origin. had access
to information on the deadly
hydrogen bomb while working on
the project in this country be-
tween 1943 and 1916.
He also disclosed that Fuchs had
received no individual security
check after coming to this coun-
try with a British scientific mis-
sion to work on the atomic pro-
gram.
Gen. Groves Questioned.
Senator Mcmahon indicated the
committee is undertaking a full
scale investigation of the case
after the members. alarmed by
the leaking of atomic information
to Russia, had questioned 1t. Gen.
Leslie R. Groves for more than
two hours. Gen. Groves, now re- j,
tired. was head of the Manhat-
tan District that developed the
atomic bomb.
Senator Mcmahon said Gen.
Groves discussed in detail the
war time partnership with Great
Britain and Canada that result
ed in British scientific mission
being sent here in 1943. Senator
Mcmahon said the mission was
agreed on by the late President
Roosevelt and Former British
Prime Minister Churchill at their
Quebec conference.
He explained there were about
20 scientists in the group and that
they went to Los Alamos, N. M,
where the atomic weapons prof.
ect was being worked out. II think
it is fair to say" Senator Nc
Mahon added. that their identity
as group was lost and they par

'Soturution' Cited
By Don S. Warren

The Commerce Department yes
terday threw it's weight behind the
movement for the early construc-
tion of second major airport for
Washington. The Budget Bureau
added it's Endorsement.
Traffic at the Washington Ma
tional Airport now has reached
"saturation' and could not posi-
bly, handle 40 per cent increase
in business expected to develop by
1855. the Commerce Department
said.
The new multi million dollar
airport would be developed, f.
nanced and operated by the Gov
eminent, as nearly as possible on
self-sustaining basis, under the
pending plan. Commerce officials
said there was no local political
subdivision in the metropolitan
area financially capable of spon-
soring the development under the
Federal Airport Act.
Site Still Undetermined.
The site has not yet been de-
termined, although it is known
that the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration has been studying at
least three possible locations in
nearby Virginia and at least two
in Maryland.
The report of the Commerce
Department, based on studies by
its CAA, gave new life to the drive
of Chairman johnson of the SEN
ate Commerce Committee for new
airport facilities here.
Cheered by the findings of the
Commerce Department, Senator
johnson. author of a year-old bill
authorizing second Washington
airport, predicted early Senate
action. He offered his bill long
before the fatal crash at the
Washington field that killed SIS
passengers and since then has
been demanding action to relieve
air traffic congestion.
He said yesterday he would
press for action by the Senate
Commerce group on his bill,
now generally indorsed by both
the Commerce Department and

similar to his is expected to be
offered In the House. Speaker
Rayburn is being asked to keep
an eye on this.

Federation Votes Fight
Against Central High
Transfer 10 CoIored
Single Opposing Voice
Ruised on FinoI Vote;
Hearings Scheduled

The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations last night voted to fight
to prevent Central High School
from being transferred to use by
colored pupils.
This action came after extended
discussion during which number
of delegates voiced views in favor.
Only a single voice was raised in
opposition when the final vote
came.
The groups Committee on Edu-
cation will meet in the federation
office. Bond Building, New York
avenue and Fourteenth streets
NV, at 8 pm. Wednesday. This
will give interested persons an op-
portunity to present their views.
The Board of Education's Com
mittee on Buildings. Grounds and
Equipment plans to meet at 10
am. Friday to hear opponents of
the proposed transfer of Central
from white to Negro pupils.
To Appear Before Board.
The federation also voted to
have its president, Herbert P.
Leeman, and the chairman of its
Education Committee, Geary w.
Lewis, present its case both be-
fore the committee and the board
itself.
Last nights stand was taken
after Mrs. Ernest w. Howard and
George H. Brown. delegates from
the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association, spoke. They said
their area is most directly affect
ed by the proposed transfer, which
has been suggested to relieve over
crowded conditions at Cardozo
High School. Both speakers said
the area is not predominantly
colored.
Mrs. Howard said the issue has
become "a Nationwide political

Truman Awaiting Miners Action.
President Truman received Mr..
Lewis bitterly-worded rejection Of
his proposal for a To-day mine
truce and a fact-finding board
to help settle the S-month- old
coal contract dispute. Hours later,
no further word having been re-
ceived, the White House conceded
the Lewis letter was rejection of
the Presidents plan.
1.-THE Presidents further course
will depend on the state of en-
ployment in the mines on Mon
day." Charles G. Ross, presidential
press secretary, said in a state
ment. "Mr. Lewis said nothing
about the return of the miners to
their jobs"
The word of a threatened COM
plete mine shutdown came after
the Lewis letter to the President.
If the strike materializes, it was
held almost certain Mr.. Truman
will move to invoke emergency
provisions of Taft Hartley against
the strike. He has resisted all
pressure to take that step so far.
To-Day Delay Probable.
However, it would take the
slow moving machinery Of the
Taft-Hartley Act at least 10 days,
under the best of circumstances,
to be effective. The President first
would have to appoint a board of
inquiry and receive it's report
on the coal dispute before OBJ
tanning an 80-day District Court
strike injunction.
White House aides were busy
drafting the necessary emergency
order under the aft-Hartley Act.
It was said the board of inquiry,
which would not have authority to
suggest terms for settling the con-
tract dispute. probably will con-
tain the same personnel as had
been selected for the rejected
fact-f1nding board.
1t had been learned, although
not officially announced, that the
fact-finding board would include

Lewis Warns Truman.
On the subject of use Of a
court Injunction to restore coal
production, Mr.. Lewis, in his letter
to Mr.. Truman, warned:
"It is questionable whether one
could postulate that such mass
coercion would insure enthusias-
tic service from grateful men,"
He preceded that with the OBJ
servation "to use the power of the
State to drive men into the mines,
on the terms and for the profit
of private employers, is involun-
tary s@vitude, violative of the
spirit. and perhaps of the literal
text, of the 18th Amendment (to
the Constitution)."

Uncle Rows Corner

The white youth, John Hunter,
was made to feel at home while
he was in the Usage village. The
squaw who had asked to adopt him
made presents for him, with the
help of her daughter. Among the
presents were leggingS, moccasins,
a buffalo robe and beaver hat.
Having lost his foster mother in
the Kansa tribe and his good
friend, Chief Shut-she-naw, John
felt less regret about giving up
his old tribe and taking on an
other. He agreed to be adopted by
the Usage squaw.
His new little sister proved to
be a good friend. Often she went
with him on errands, including
the gathering of firewood in the
forest. She asked him about his
parents, but he could tell her
little.
When he was about II years
old, John joined group Of Usage
hunters. A long journey westward
was made to the Mountains OF
the Snow" as the Rockies were
called.
Hunter and his comrades Won
dered whether they might dare to
go up the steep slopes OF those
mountains. After talking over the
question, they decided to make
the attempt.
Upward they climbed, and day
followed day as they struggled TO
make the crossing. From time to
time they shot mountain goat,
a black-tailed deer or a pheasant,
and little feast took place around
the camp fire after each success
in hunting.
One day several men were
standing together when two big
bears rushed on them. Firing their
guns, they shot both of the bears,
but one was only wounded. With
a fearful growing nose, the
wounded bear lunged against one
of the warriors and threw him to
the ground, biting and clawing
him. The other warriors drove
their long knives into the bears
body. and struck him with their
tomahawks. At last the beast was
killed. The warrior who had been
knocked over was badly mangled,
but he was given the best care
the Indians knew, and slowly le-
covered from his wounds.
Again the party struggled tor-
ward and reached the valley OF the
Columbia River. Going down the
valley, they reached the shore OF
the Pacific Ocean. With feeling
of wonder, they looked at the
rolling waters and listened TO the
roar of the waves which beat on
the shore.
