Police, Citizens A-Hunting Go;
Silver Fox Caught at Treasury

The big news from the Treasury
Department today was not the
National debt but the capture
there of a silver fox. very much
alive and kicking.
For an hour the animal, origin
and destination unknown. had
roamed the streets with police, re-
porters and photographers in hot
pursuit.
1t fitted from K street park
ing lot up Fourteenth street to 1
street, in and out of another park
ing lot, ran down K street again
to L and thence to Franklin Park
All the while agitated citizens

called the police.
A police dispatcher sent a third
precinct squad car to the vicinity
One of the policemen radioed that
it really was a fox-he had seer
it scampering toward Fifteenth
street.
''At what speed?" the dispatcher
asked.
Forty miles an hour" was the
reply. -.
Ducking into the somewhat
more familiar habitat of Franklin
Park, the fox took time out to
chase a few squirrels in circles.
Then it took off on new tack,
heading down Thirteenth street to
New York avenue, thence to the
Treasury at Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
En- route it whisked by pedes-
TRANS, some of whom seemed to
observe the animal as an appari-
ton.
One man, perhaps preoccupied
by matters of great moment
looked up seconds later, exclaim-
ing:
What was that. fox?"
Skillfully darting between the
wheels of a streetcar. as any CITY,
bred fox will do, the animal
lodged through an iron fence into
the Treasury grounds. Without
further ado, it leaped into a Is
foot-deep window we'll at the east

said, II have forsworn any ambi-
tons except one: to create
a Defense Establishment that will
really be a peace establishment,
so your sons won't have to 60 to
war again."
The President, noting that lone
Of my closest friends" the Mayor
of Independence. Mo-, had died
Tuesday, said he would be willing
to pass on happily" if he knew
the world were at peace.
1--WE have the greatest Govern
ment in the world" declared Mr..
Truman, who added, "the only
country in the world where the
interest is only in the welfare OF
all the people Of the world, not
for just few" as in the totali-
tartan countries.
The President said he had spent
considerable time" studying gov
eminent and asserted that the
United States Constitution Is
the greatest document of govern
ment the history of the world has
ever seen.
II expect to devote the rest of
my life" he continued, to up
holding and supporting the Con-
Stitution and the United Nations
so that "all the people of the
world eventually will have perma-
nent peace"
Blames Lack of Unification.
In his address the Secretary of
Defense declared that Pearl Har-
Dor occurred because there was no
unification. For the same reason,
he said, thousands and tens of
thousands of men lost their lives
in World War II, at the beginning
because there was no unification.
Russia is not starting any,
thing with us tonight" said Mr..
johnson, "only because of the
force and readiness of America. .
On his own position, Mr.. john
son said that "the going has been
tough at times and at times
seemed almost too much to bear"
He said that during such periods
people came to him and said,
Stick to it (unification)
"Uniflcation is here and the sun
shines on it" declared the de-
Tense chief. He said that an ag-
gressor like Russia fears moth
ing but superior force, and if
America weren't ready at 4 o'clock
in the morning, they would start
something"

Special
Gambling Inquiry

A special investigation Of
gambling here is being considered
by the House District Subcon1-
mittee inquiring into crime and

discussed in recent sessions of the

The problem will be brought be-
fore the group at it's next session

Democrat said. a.
May Ask More Funds.
IF we should go into the
matter as special investigation"
Mr.. Davis said, the subcommittee
would have to ask for more funds.
This is because the gambling in
quiry would be carried on along
with our other activities looking
into all phases of crime and it's
punishment in Washington"
The subcommittee already has
used up most of the $4,000
granted by the House soon for fur
Their funds for its present work.
Our committee has no inten-
ton of investigating gambling
anywhere but here inside the Dis
trict of Columbia" Mr.. Davis ex-
planned. But we shall have to
consider the question first, as to
whether gambling here is purely
local, or whether it is a branch of
the reputed Nationwide gambling
syndicate that operates. East.
West, North and South throughout
the country"
Need for More Experts Seen.
Asked whether the present sub
committee staff will be sufficient
to carry forward the present broad
investigation as well as a gambling
inquiry, Mr.. Davis said 1t might
be necessary to add more experts.
The House subcommittee ap-
preached its problems as the
Washington police were con-
fronted with a series of what has

Some Of these robberies were

Hiring Prejudice Costs Industry
Is Million q Year, Session Told

Prejudice in American industry
Is estimated to cost between $15,-
000,000,000 and $4,000. 100000 9
year in lost production.
These figures were quoted to q
group of about 40 leading indus
trialists and labor leaders here
today by Gordon Lovejoy, profess
sor of human relations at the
University of Miami.
The group is meeting at the
Shoreham Hotel as the Inter-
group Relations Conference, under
the sponsorship of the National
Conference for Christians and
Jews. Racial and religious preju-
dice is the subject.
Potential Customers Lost.
Manufacturers who refuse to
hire certain types of people be-
cause of prejudice are losing those
same people as potential GUS
toners, DR.. Lovejoy said.
The loss amounts to about $500
a year for every American work
err" he said. adding that is the
cost of the rigid pattern of dis
elimination which is prevalent
today.
DR.. Everett R. Clinchy, president
of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, told the in
dustrialists they have prof1ted
greatly by a practical application
of the natural sciences to the
problems of production.
But in the social sciences we
are still in the era of Calico" DR..
Clinchy said. THAT is the field
that should be tackled now. 1t is

awaited developments.
Up came George w. Brown, 81,
colored, of the Animal Rescue
League. It was old stuff to him,
but not to the swelling crowd
which police had to hold back at
one point. 49,.
Mr.. Brown casually thrust a
20-foot metal pole into the hole,
and with deft motion, slipped a
moose around the animals neck.
Controlling the moose with
gagdet at his end of the pole,
Mr.. Brown frightened 1t and
gently lifted the fox to the sur
face.
For this operation Mr.. Brown
called on the assistance of Traffic
Policeman George Woods.
But the story wasn't ended yet.
The fox still had something left,
and churning his legs as though
on treadmill, slipped out of the
moose and was off on one last
canter.
Most grateful for this anti
climax was nearly score of news

down the yard in eager anticipa-
ton of "just one more
Where did the fox go? Down
the window well again, of course.
This time Mr.. Brown was resolute.
He got a ladder and went down
into the pit. He slipped a rope
around the fox's neck, while one
of the sidewalk superintendent
screamed: NO. not that!"
Mr.. Brown came up with the
fox. triumphantly tucked it into a
cage and soon was away. with the
plaudits of the crowd ringing in
his ears.
Before he was ushered away
from that department of the Gov
eminent where reposes the stuff

one bystander.
Tt was Sidney Zlotnik, special
list on such things, who identified
the animal as a fine silver fox.
Mr.. zlotnik said he was called in
for advice by a reporter. The
Animal Rescue League later cor
roborated Mr.. Zlotnik's identifi-
cation.

Perth Amboy, N. j., described the
patterns of prejudice today as
horizontal rather than vertical"
1.-THE attitudes of Accommodating
intolerance are not limited to any
segment of our people. They dis
figure all segments. It is not a
matter of fixing the blame, but
OF fixing the attitude" he said.
MIR. Palmer described a project
at his plant in which 80 workers,
selected for their racial and
religious differences, attended a
nine-week seminar sponsored by
the conference of Christians and
Jews.
The group joined in frank dis
cussions of their differences and
heard short talks from religious
leaders of various. faiths, anthro-
biologists. psychologists and edu-
Gators.
Even Opportunity Sought.
1.-THE idea behind the project is
not to abolish differences but to
respect them" Mr.. Palmer said.
What is involved is not bogus
equality or uniformity. We leave
that concept to the totalitarians.
Our ideal is the genuine equal
ity OF an even opportunity .
unencumbered by the crushing
weight of class and race handi-
caps. Our ideal rests on merit,
on the rights and dignity of the
one minority that counts and
that's the minority of one"
The remainder of the session
was taken up by discussion of the
Perth Amboy project.
At lunch the group was ad-
dressed by Francis H. Russell,
director of the Office of public
affairs of the Department of
State. The afternoon was to be

office Of Education Hi
JAS Without Policy;
New Board Asked

An Independent United States
Office Of education, controlled by
a non-partisan board, was urged
today at a conference of the
American Council on Education.
The need for such a Federal
board of education, subject to no
veto by an individual political
Office holder, was outlined by DR..
Edgar Fuller. executive secretary
of the National Council of Chief
State School Officers.
He spoke at the opening meeting
of the two-day session at the
Mayf1ower Hotel.
I'm recent years the emascula-
ton of our Federal agency for
education has proceeded apace,"
DR.. Fuller declared. He added
there now Is chaos in the Federal
organization for education.
"It is the result Of lack Of a
sound Federal policy about how
to deal with education. Indeed, it
Is the result of no policy at ALL" he
stated. j
Thought Control" Feared.
He said the political officers
who have been in control of the
Federal educational agency never
have formulated a policy and It's
professional personnel has never
been In position to do SO. The
Office Of Education is a part OF
the. Federal Security Agency and
the Commissioner of Education il
under the Federal Security Ad-
ministrator.
DR.. Fuller said the present
splintering of education functions
into numerous non-educational
Federal agencies and failure to
recognize the need of the Federal
Government for freedom from
educational policy making by pol
iticians are the basic reasons for
/ the chaos. He added that it pre-
sented grave dangers "of political
thought control" by Federal off,
Gals.
DR.. Fuller explained that such
a Federal board of education as
he proposed would exercise gen.
eral control Of policies and pro-
grams of the Office of Education.
It would appoint the Commission
er of Education and. on his nomi-
nation. appoint staff members of
the Office of Education.
Not Subject to Veto.
1t would deal with the Bureau
of the Budget and Congress on
fiscal matters but would not be
subject to any direct veto in the
field of educational policy by any
individual political officer.
I Francis ]. Brown, staff asso-
ciate on the American Council on
Education. also spoke at the ses-
sion. declaring: THE time has
come fora higher status for the
Office of Education If we are to
avoid further scattering of our
governmental functions"
