Women Want Recognition

Maryland women pointed long,
accusing fingers at Gov. Lane
and Mayor D'AlesandrO of Bal
timore. Neither of the Demo-
cratic leaders has been fair
with the fair sex in politics, 1t
was charged.
Miss Rose E. Zetzer, former
president of the Women's Bar
Association, asserted that while
the Democratic Party enIists the
help of Maryland women dur
ing campaigns, it ignores them
after elections. The only recog-
milton SO far, said Miss Zetzer,
was Gov. Lanes appointment of
Miss Vivian Simpson, Mont
gomery County attorney, as
Secretary of State.
The accusation was made
while the National Women's
Party prepared to pay honor to
Susan B. Anthony, woman suf-
ragist.-AP.

Writer Declares H-Bomb
Is Physical Monsfrosity
By the Associufed Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-Pulitzer
Prize Winner William L. Laurence
yesterday described the hydrogen
bomb as something several mil
lion times more powerful than the
atomic bomb - "a physical
monstrosity.'
MIR. Laurence, New York Times
science writer, spoke at a Sunday
series on atomic energy sponsored
by the Enoch Pratt Library.
THE greatest and probably the
most ominous, terrifying and
frightening aspect is the radio
activity this type of missile can
give off," he said.
Some radioactive substances
will last hundreds or thousands of
years. Bombed cities will be un-
inhabitable for possibly thousands
of years."
The United States and Russia,
he said, could annihilate each
other in H-bomb warfare.
Mr.. Laurence spoke of the H
bomb as the sun in miniature.
The sun is actually an enor-
nous hydrogen bomb in space,
and we will create on earth a
miniature of the sum-" he ex-
planned.

7 Republicans Charge
Rayburn Sabotage Of
Effort for FEPC Vote
By Chris Mothjsen

Two House Republicans charged
today that Speaker Rayburn has
"sabotaged" efforts to bring the
controversial FEPC Bill to the floor
for debate.
They proposed a change in the
rules which would force the
speaker to observe a set order in
recognizing committee chairmen
on discharge days in the House.
One of the methods hackers of
the anti-discrimination measure
have been seeking to use to force
action on the bill is the discharge
day.
On the second and fourth Mon
days of each month, committee
chairmen who have favorably-
reported bills which the Rules
Committee has failed to clear for
debate within 81 days may seek
recognition to call them UP for
action.
Lesinski Ignored.
Mr.. Rayburn has not seen fit to
recognize Chairman Lesinski of
the House Labor Committee to
call up FEPC.
On the last discharge day, he
recognized another committee
head who had bills in similar
status.
Today, Representatives Heselton
OF Massachusetts and Heating of
New York put forth proposal
that the rules provide for a
regular order of recognition, re-
moving the speakers discretion.
lhe committee chairmen striving
to bypass the Rules Committee
would be called in the order in
which they had applied to the
Rules Committee for clearance of
their bills.
Today would have been a dis
charge day, but the House agreed
to dispense with the procedure in
advance because Lincoln's Birth
day is being observed.
Time Called Appropriate.
This anniversary seems an
appropriate time to take steps to
prevent the Democratic leader
ship from playing fast and loose
any longer with legislation to
enact a Fair Employment Prac-
tices Act" the two Republicans
commented in statement.
The FEPC Bill would create a
Federal commission to act against
racial or religious discrimination
in private employment.
In addition to the discharge
DAY system, it could be called up
on Calendar Wednesday. which
is any Wednesday, unless the
House decides to dispense with
! it.
The committees take turn on
this day. This Wednesday the Dis
trlct Committee has first chance.
Mr.. Lesinski's group is next.

Gen. Young said it was hoped
that when the time comes to build
the proposed twin span to the new
bridge, it can be constructed par
allel to the present Highway
Bridge. and the old one removed
after the twin is constructed.
A proposed extension of Rock
Greek Parkway to the Maryland
line came in for discussion during
the highway budget talks.
Gen. Young said he felt sure
National Capital Parks would
strongly oppose any move for a
freeway through Rock Creek Park
certainly one north of the Zoo.
But he said there is a possible
alternative: Down Sixteenth street
to Colorado avenue and down into
the park.
Mr.. Stockman said he believed
IN order to avoid undue conges-
tlon on Connecticut avenue and
Sixteenth street to carry traffic in
and out of Maryland. four-lane
direct highway to the Maryland
line would be needed.
1T would seem to me the ex-
tension of the Rock Creek Park
way road up Rock Creek Park

Bridges Control Width.
Gen. Young said the capacity of
the Rock Creek freeway at the ex-
treme lower end must be consid-
cred. 1t Is four-lane now. one way
south in the morning and one way
north in the evening, and the four
lanes are pretty well loaded to
capacity, he pointed out.
An additional amount of traffic
might be too much, he pointed
out, and it would be a. difficult
road to widen because it's width
is controlled by four bridges.
Gen. Young told reporters he
was "on the fence" but was a lit
tie inclined to favor the Sixteenth
street method. He considers the
project more or less remote"
Highway Director j. N. Robert
son said it is expected that 81
million will be netted from gaso-
line tax collections in fiscal 1851,
as compared with $6,So0,O00 in
this fiscal year.
Other estimates for 1851 in
cluded the following receipts: AS
sessments. $150.000; registration
and weight tax, $1,675, 900; oper-
ators' permits. 1855, 900; title fees,
S95 900; inspection fees. s21O. 900
and parking meter receipts, s325,-

Einstein Warns World
To Stop Fighting or
Face AnnihiIation
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Dr. Al
bert Einstein warns mankind to
stop f1ghting-or disappear from
the face of the earth.
Development and use of the
hydrogen bomb, he says, possibly
could cause "annihilation of any
life on earth" through radioaz
poisoning of the atmosphere.
The man who gave science the
theoretical knowledge needed to
make the H-bomb presented a
general two-point formula yester-
day for saving the peoples of the
world from general annihila-
ton:
l. A ban on violence among ma
tions, mot only with respect to
means of mass destruction"
2. Creation of a supra national
judicial and executive body (su-
perior to any country to decide
questions of immediate concern
to the security of the nations"
DR.. Einstein's views were given
in the first of a series of tele-
vision shows conducted by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt over the
National Broadcasting Co. net
work.
The scientist, who is a leader
In the Institute for Advanced
Study at Princeton, N. j., did not
appear on the program in person.
His statement was given by tran
scription in a discussion on the
H-bomb.
Calling for peace moves to do
away with mutual fear and dis
trust" DR.. Einstein said the pres
ent arms race between the United
States and Russia has developed a
"hysterical character"
Every STEP" he said, appears
as the unavoidable consequence of
the preceding one. In the end.
there beckons more and more
clearly general annihilation.
A "supra-national" body Is
necessary to carry out non-violent
aims, he declared. and interna-
tional control of weapons would
be only "of secondary use as a
police measure"
DR.. Einstein said the fact that
the United States first produced
the atomic bomb has brought
about an Illusion that this coun-
try can achieve security through
military superiority.
He said "it is impossible to
achieve peace as long as every
single action is taken with a pos
sible future conflict in view" and
he urged solemn remuneration of
violence"
In addition to DR.. Einstein's
statement, the television program
consisted of round table discus
sion of the H-bomb.
Other guests of Mrs. Roosevelt
were DR.. j. Robert Oppenheimer,
director of the Institute for Ad-
varlced Study; David e. Lilienthal,
retiring chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission; Senator Nc
Mahon, Democrat, of Connecticut.

The 3 report said that this
startling growth" has been the
cause of concern.
Skipping Around Cited.
Training institutions must meet
State standards and the report
said the many of them do not
measure up to the desired level
Specifically it said: "The opera
ton OF some schools is lax and
the quality of instruction is not
such as to insure the veterans of
good training. Some of the prin-
cipal evidences Of laxity are fail
ure to require proper attendance
veterans may just check in and
leave Immediately. failure to main
tain records of progress of vet
erans, or to show any interest in
theiE, progress and failure to pro-
vide competent instructors or in
struction material"
The report also said that 5.635
privately operated schools on the
approved list were established
after the law was passed.
The report cited number OF
cases OF students skipping around
from course to course but took
pains to emphasize that "these
case studies are neither typical
nor especially unusual" One stu
dent completed a 26-week course

there is evidence of enough poo

concern.
The law under which the voca.
tional training is given was passee
by the 18th Congress in June
1914, after an earlier law hae
proposed to limit such instruction
to disabled veterans.
Since then efforts have beer
made to tighten the provisions
but the report pointed out tina
these changes did not fix prope
standards.
Praises Accomplishments.
President Truman, in his mes
sage, praised the accomplishment
OF the whole training program
for veterans which carries through
the college level and he added:
"It seems evident that eacl
time a course of trade and voca

that portion of the program. Sucl
failure is costly to the veterans

, While nothing that we may d,
can entirely eliminate such fail
