MESSAGE BY
SENATOR FREAR
Weekly Message From United
States Senator Frear To
People of Delaware
EXPRESSES VIEWS

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear has been assured by the
Chairman of the National Secur-
ity Resources Board, w. Stuart
Symington, that American industry
will not be socialized to meet our
economic defense needs. Syming-
tons statement was in answer to
a question from Senator Frear dur
ing hearings on Monday before the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. The Committee is
studying legislation which will
grant President Truman wide pow
ers to mobilize the Nations econ
omic resources.
Senator Frear's question about
the status of American business
was one of series he addressed
to Symington during the Commit
tee session. In his weekly state
ment on Congressional affairs,
Senator Frear suggested thatAthe
President call on American bust
nessmen for assistance to the
Government in achieving greater
production.
The Delaware Senator said he
did not intend the suggestion as a
criticism of Government Depart
ments, but said he felt that the ex-
perience of businessmen might
help save the Government time and
money. "I feel" Mr.. Frear said,
that men of ability in our business
and industrial life can quickly
make important decisions on such
matters as ALLEGATION of materials
and overall production"
Senator Frear called for an "All
American" effort to achieve victory
in Korea. While expressing the
hope that it will not be necessary
for the Nation, itself, to go on a
full wartime footing, Senator
Frear cautioned that whatever it
takes to get the necessary supplies
and equipment to our hard pressed
troops in Korea should and will be
authorized and procured.

Asked about the saving result

Fire Underwriters
Warn Nurses on
Dangerous 'Undies
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA Feb. 10.-A cou-
pie of fire underwriters noted
today that certain types of
nurses underwear can be
dangerously electrifying.
The two, B. I. Simpson and
Gerald E. Abbott of South
eastern Underwriters, found
that for operating room pur-
poses silk and nylon were out.
These materials, they found
after an inspection trip to
Emory University, had been
barred because they some
times generate static electri-
city sparks which might set
off an explosion among the
gases used for anesthetics.

College Ends Revival to Avoid 'SensutionuIism'
BY the Associated Press

WHEATON, H., Feb. 10.-A
marathon prayer meeting at little
Wheaton College ended today
after 38 consecutive hours.
The revival, begun Unexpectedly
Wednesday night during one of
the regular semi week
long Evangelistic services, had
swept the campus. About 1900
students and ITO faculty members
at the non-sectarian fundamen-
talist Protestant school joined in
the prayer service.
More than 900 were present in
the Pierce Memorial Chapel when
DR.. v. Raymond Edman, president
of the college, called the public
testimonial to a close.
Glasses were to resume at IL
am.
DR.. Edman halted the revival to
avoid "sensationalism." He told
the students that outsiders might
think the revival had become too
Snowy" He permitted about so
to continue their testimonials in
a smaller room nearby. These
were expected to end before noon.
A college spokesman said the
students were happy with the re-
suits of their demonstration and
"felt the Lord had dealt with
them"
Nearly all of the students had
stepped up to the pulpit at least
once and confessed their sins and
testified that the spirit of the Lord
had cleansed their souls.
Many returned for the second
and third testimonials. Some
had waited as long as nine
hours to walk to the pulpit to de-
scribe their little errors of life
and ask forgiveness.

the convicted persons were given
probation or suspended sentences.
Before todays hearing got un-
der way, Subcommittee Chairman
Davis, Democrat, of Georgia COM
mented that the failure of the
courts to keep police informed on
the disposition of cases might
result in dangerous criminals get
ting off lightly.
The possibility of these Offend
ers being released with light bonds
or small fines came up as a result
of yesterdays hearing.
The subcommittee was told the
police get no reports from the
courts on the disposition of cases.
AS Mr.. Fischbach put it. the police
get their information on how cases
end on an eff basis'-if the ar
resting officer happens to be in
court when the case is concluded.
Stressing that these reports play
an important part in law enforce
ment, Mr.. Davis said they enable
police to have accurate and de-
tailed information on the previous
handling of habitual offenders.
| There are many ways in which
this could affect law enforce
ment," he said. "If a man is a
notorious repeater and neither the
arresting officer nor the commit
ing magistrate knows anything
about his previous record, a small
bond might be assessed. That
would let dangerous criminal get
away.
Complete records would enable
the judge to deal more intelli-
gently with these offenders"
The chairman indicated the
subcommittee is only starting to
dig publicly into the handling of
repeaters and their records.
We've got a good deal to go
into about that" he said.
Sitter Penalties Sought.
He has already made it clear
that the subcommittee probably
will propose a law melting out
sitter penalties to repeaters.
| In another development, Repre-
sentative Davis indicated the sub
committee will inquire further
into why precinct captains failed
to report an undisclosed number
of ofenses to police Headquarters
over period of 81 months.
1t was brought out at the hear
ing yesterday that the depart
ment's statistical division dis

transfer is made.
II am very sorry, for it augurs
poorly for American democracy,
that these people should scream
keep Central for white people
when l,700 Negro children are
housed in an inadequate school
building almost 80 per cent over
crowded" Mr.. Hall declared.
An argument over the amount
of time allotted speakers arose
when DR.. Paul Cook took the floor
to speak for the United Citizens
Association for the Educational
Adequacy of All Children of the
District. The limit set by the
board was three minutes per
speaker.
Presents Series of Charts.
+ DR.. Cook said several other
organizations had allotted him part
of their time. After numerous
cat-calls from the audience, he
was allowed to speak eight min
utes, but ruling was made by
the committee, chairman, that no
further swapping of time would
be allowed.
DR.. Cook presented a series OF
charts designed to support his
contention that Central should be
turned over to colored students
and that white students would not
suffer by the move. He said the
organization he represents was a
newly formed one consisting of
representatives of some As other
civic groups.
S5,000,000 Saving Claimed.
The Washington chapter of
the Americans for Democratic
Action, the League of Women
Voters, the Unitarian Fellowship
for Social Justice, the American
Friends Service Committee and
the Progressive Party of the Dis
trict all spoke in favor of the
transfer.
Mrs. F. H. Wolowitz, represent
ing the League of Women Voters,
said the shift is essential because
it would serve the greatest public
need and save the taxpayers about
$5,000,0 900.
Mrs. Frances Adams Of the ADA
said the District cannot be proud
of the way our Negro children are
taken care of in the public schools
not one new high school since
World War T."
Sphar Hall of the Friends Com
mittee, said that "as a Quaker ano
a teacher" he hoped Washington
students could have the benefit oil

Lacking that, he approved the
change of Central to a coloreo

Wender Opposes Transfer.
Harry S. Wender, chairman OF

said:

at police headquarters. This dis
covery was made when the sta
tistical division was preparing a
special report on offenses for the
subcommittee.
Judge Davis indicated the SUBJ
committee would want to know
why the discovery was not made
earlier. particularly since the sys-
tenn of sending reports to head
quarters had been in effect since
April, 1948, and one annual report
had been made during the 81
month period.

a number of, undercover agents
were sent here last May on a
round up that brought a series
of October arrests. He had also
described the prosecutions in these
cases as most excellent"
Detective Chief Questioned.
The multiple jobs of police
men cropped up again today when
Chief of Detectives Robert S.
Bryant was asked what work the
three-man narcotics squad has to
do besides tracking down drug
peddlers and addicts.
Inspector Bryant testified they
had to make inspections under 10
different laws, four of which dealt
directly with narcotics violations.
The squad, he said, also has to
investigate complaints and make
inspections involving the Healing
Arts Practice Act, District Phar-
macy Act, District Dental Act,
District Optometry Act, District
Podiatry Act and the Nurses Reg
istration Act.
Inspector Bryant agreed with
Mr.. Fischbach that the narcotics
squad has to spend a good deal of
it's time and attention on laws
having nothing to do with mar
cotics.
Corrects Statement.
Before the subcommittee focused
it's attention on narcotics, Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Daniel
Maher arose to correct a state
ment made to the committee yes
terday by Maj. Barrett. The chief
had testified that Washington
convicts released conditionally or
on parole are sometimes at large
two months before the Police De-
partment knows about it.
Mr.. Maher said the Parole Board
actually makes practice of noti-
flying the Police Department of
the release of the convicts at the
time they leave jail or the work.
house.
Once the correction was in the
record Mr.. Fishbach asked Maj.
Barrett if this notice comes before
or after the convicts are released.
Maj. Barrett told him it came
after their release.
In answer to Mr.. Fishbach's S
question, Maj. Barrett said it would
be very helpful" if the Police De-
!partment was notified in advance
that convicts were to be released.
Mr.. Harvey was being enthusi-
astic about the speedy prosecution
of 35 cases filed here by Treasury
undercover men last October
when MFR. Fischbach interrupted
to give the subcommittee another
set of figures.
One Given Probation.
Mr.. Harvey had said that of the
35 cases conviction has been the
result in every case tried.
At that point Mr.. Fischbach
cited the case of Helena Frank
who was given three years proba-
tion for possessing heroin on con-
dition that she go to Florida. Mr..
Fischbach wanted to know if that
sort of sentence deferred crime.
Mr.. Harney said he didn't want
to comment.
Then Mr.. Fischbach told the
subcommittee that II of the IS

of and that in five of these II
