Administering OF Aid
To Handicapped Questioned

WASHINGTON (ANP) Every
body who appeared before the Sen
ate Labor committee last week
agreed that insufficient funds are
now being appropriated for the
rehabilitation and placement OF
the physically handicapped, bot
theargument arose over the ques-
ton of who will administer this
aid.
One group of witnesses, headed
by Federal Security administrator
Oscar Ewing, argued that the w.
cational rehabilitation program for
the physically handicapped should
remain in the Federal Security adj
ministration where it has been
located for a great number OF
years.
Another group, led by Secretary
Maurice Tobin, tried to convince
the committee that the physically
handicapped would be better off,
if they were placed under the jur-
isdiction of the Department OF
Labor.
A third group, spearheaded by
Paul A. Strachan, national presi-
dent of the American Federation
ofthe Physically Handicapped, de-
clared that persons afflicted with
some type Of handicap would re-
ceive the greatest benefit if 9
separate agency for the handicap
d was established by the Fedora
government, to concern itself with
their welfare.
A large number of handicapped
people from all sections of thu
country, visited Washington during
these hearings, to lobby for thu
bills which will NEAR so much tt
their future happiness.
Each of the handicapped wit
nesses testified in behalf of $40

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Sen.
Robert A. Taft killed two birds
with one stone last week when he
introduced a measure to defeat
the Presidents reorganization plan
No. ~, and at the same time post
pone are argument ohthe molten
to call up FEPC.
In spite of the arguments in
favor of this plan designed to re-
form the National Labor Relations
board, by abolishing the general
counsel's office, the plan was kill
ed by the familiar Dixiecrat- Re-
publican coalation in a So to 30
vote.
Since the general counsel's Of
flee was set up as an almost IN
dependent agency by the Taft
Hartley act, many conflicts have
arisen over the authority between
| Counsel Robert N. Denham and
the NLRB members.
The Presidents order proposed
that the labor relations be restor-
ed to a single agency and the gen
eral counsel be limited to legal
members.
Negro attorneys have protested
against the vast amount of power
given Denham from the very be-
ginning of the NLRB setup. The
Atty. Charles H. Houston once 1e-
marked back in 1949 that Denham
has more power than a car"
1t was explained at that time
that the general counsel has full

Speaking for the CLIO, James B.
Carey, the secretary-treasurel
pointed out that the only two
services for the handicapped on
federal level in FSA are the ad'
ministration of medical aid anG

Roger Arnett of Columbus, Ind.
said what the hard-headed, tax
paying physically handicapped
American business men want is al
adequate program for all the dis
abled. They want a bill which vii
provide real service to the handi
capped and not merely subsidiz

and exclusive control over all in
vestigations of complaints and ex-
elusive power of prosecuting al
legged violations ofthe Taft-Hart-
ley revision ofthe original Wagner
National Labor Relations act"
There is no power in the gov
eminent, said the Negro attorney,
to force the general counsel to
prosecute if he is unwilling to do
so : and no way for a worker to
get his case before the NLRB if
Mr.. Denham is unwilling to pro-
secute.
Denham has been accused On
many counts Of being both anti
Semitic and anti-Negro, and speci-
fic cases have been cited in con-
gressional hearings to bear out
this fact. The firing of his white
assistant because of her marriage
to a Negro is a recent indication
Of his prejudice.
The proposal offered by Presi-
dent Truman would have robbed
the 'high and mighty" general
counsel Of some of his extreme
powers.

Locking the stable door comes too
late when the horse has already
taken walk. 1t is frequently too
late to plan a successful defense
when two or three tricks have been
permitted to slip by without being
included in the general scheme of
things. In today's hand failure to
sit up and take notice at trick one
nullified perfect subsequent defense
by the East player.
Against today's three-no- trump
contract, West led the two of
spades, dummy played the five,
East the king and declarer the ace
The 10 of clubs was then finessed
and East permitted it to hold in an
effort to shut out dummy's club
suit. Declarer is known to have a
maximum of two clubs. He has bid
both red suits, which accounts for
at least eight cards. Vests lead of
the two of spades indicates a four
card suit, which allows dealer eX-
actly three spades.
The club finesse was repeated and
East won. He shifted to the queen
of diamonds, which was taken by
declarer and a low spade lead to-
ward dummy set up the jack as an
entry to cash the clubs.
EaSt's holdup of the king of clubs
was good strategy, but 1t came too
late, because by his play to the first
trick he had set up a future entry
into dummy by way of the jack of
spades. His proper play at trick one
was to duck, permitting declarer to
win the trick as cheaply as he cared.
This would guarantee that dummys

Natures Children

Allspice is a strictly American
production. The pungent, aro-
matte spice is one of the three
spices which the conquest of the
Americas gave to the world.
Many centuries before the dis
covery of the New World, Europe
could only procure trickle of the
highly desired spices from the
faraway fabulous East.
Realizing the demand for spices
and the wealth assured in their
possession, men of Western Eu-
rope braved the uncharted oceans
to find the source. They found
the route to the east and brought
back great cargoes of pepper.
cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Allspice did not compete for
place with the known spices, but
with the gold of the IncaS and
Aztecs. When the Spanish con-
querors had depleted the available
gold, they turned to allspice. 1t
was first introduced into Europe
shortly after the beginning of the
17th century as a substitute for
cardamon, the aromatic fruit of
an East Indian herb. About a
century later it was sold under
the name of "sweet-scented ia
maica pepper or all SPICE" The
common name allSpice derived
from the resemblance of its flavor
and fragrance to a combination
of spices, with cloves, nutmeg and
cinnamon predominating.
In spite of efforts to introduce
the allspice tree into the economy
of the East Indies and other spice
producing countries. allSpice re-
mains exclusively American.
In Jamaica an orchard plant
ing project is known as walk"
The planter goes out to discover
an area on which a few natural
growing allspice trees are -four
ishing. When he locates one. he
cuts down all the lush tropical
vegetation growing near. Within
a year he returns to find the area
covered with young allspice trees.
Again he cuts down the dense
vegetation leaving the young trees
to grow on their own. Within
two years the planter returns to
clean up the walk" After about
five years more the walk" comes |
into bearing.
Allspice trees are lovely we'll
formed evergreens Of about 80
feet high. The flowers are borne
in terminal clusters where the
berries appear later. A mature
tree produces about 100 pounds of
dried spice annually for many
years. The fruit is gathered
when green. The berry, about
0.3 inch in diameter, has a rough
surface when cured and has the
typical dark brown color. In a |
f1ve-year average Jamaica shipped
more than 100000 pounds, Mex
leo. 100000 pounds. and Guate-
mala $4,000 pounds, mostly to
Europe.
Indition to producing one of
the worlds best spices, the all
spice tree produces fragrant wood
for walking sticks and umbrella
handles.

some III" Words to Watch.

The word hacienda is misused in
the meaning of "a rather large

means, "a landed estate; plantation;

In Standard American it is: HAH-

Task Of Fighting Spie,
Bigger, Hoover Says;
Asks FBI Expansion
By the Associoied Press

/ The FBI says the job of pro-
tecting the country from spies is
greater now than at the peak o.:
World War H..
Asking for an enlargement of
his force, FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover said in a congressional
hearing that the end of the war
served only to balloon the work
of his agents in protecting the
Nations internal security.
Mr.. Hoover's report was con-
tanned in House Appropriations
Committee hearings made public
today.
In the same hearing, Immigra-
ton Inspector Watson B. Miller
said there are approximately g.
100000 aliens in the United
States - some $500 deportable
and free under court bond, but
whom no other nation will accept.
DUtuCI dSk DIlIlCull.
Assistant Commissioner w. F.
Kelly said border inspectors found
it almost physically impossible to
carry out required examinations
at border stations.
AS one example of the problem.
he explained there are between
5000 and 1000 persons in Cam
ada who are officially listed by
the Canadian government as SUBJ
verSive.
Mr.. Kelly estimated there are
thousands of aliens now in the
United States unlawfully, and of
whom the immigration Service
has no knowledge.
Mr.. Hoover said internal secur-
ity problems are growing steadily,
with the FBI's work load at a
record high, and declared:
THE need, I think, is para
mount to control the dangers that
are inherent in Communism and
the subversive activities of for
eign-inspired espionage groups
that are operating in this coun-
try"
Wiretapping Defended.
Mr.. Hoover said "one OF the ef-
fective means" of meeting the Sc
curity menace has been limited
wire tapping.
Although it has been subjected
to strong criticism, he defended
wiretapping as modern tech
nique necessary in combating
subversion.
The facts" Mr.. Hoover added,
contradict the hysterical utter
ances of those who would have us
believe that wiretapping by the
FBI is unrestricted and is utilized
on a Wholesale scale"
Then repeating what he has
previously stated, Mr.. Hoover said
the FBI has less than ITO taps
in existence and all of them con-
fined to internal security cases.
Major crime is also on the up
trend. Mr.. Hoover reported. He
said that in the first nine months
of 1949 the number of major
crimes was nearly IL per cent
