Alexandra Affected
BY Power Failure

Half of Alexandria and areas
as far south as Occoquan, Va.
were without electricity for about
40 minutes yesterday after an ex-
plosion at a Virginia Electric &
Power Co. SubStation.
The explosion, which company
officials identified as an electrical
arc, could be heard by residents
near the Substation at Jefferson
and Paine streets, Alexandria. It
caused a f1re-like glow. Two fire
companies came to the scene.
The power shut-off occurred
about 800 am. and was corrected
by 9 am.
A company spokesman ex-
planned that the arc occurred az
workmen attempted to switch cur
rent from one line to another.
Newer equipment is being in
stalled at many of the substations.
and the work customarily is done
Sunday mornings to minimize in
convenience if power fails.
The power failure caused two
other Substations in Alexandria to
break down. A main power line
leading south to Occoquan was
affected.
Only damage caused was to q
switch which workmen had been
attempting to replace. the COM
pany said.

Removal Of Dr.. Hagel
Is Urged in Petition

A petition seeking the removal
Of DR.. Walter E. Hager as head
of Wilson Teachers College is
being circulated, it was learned
today.
The movement grew out Of a
recent meeting of citizens. among
whom were John H. Connaughton,
past president of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, and Cliff
ford Newell, president of the
Arkansas Avenue Community As
sociation.
The group decided that through
the circulation of series of petit
tions it could inform the Board
of Education of citizen opposition
to DR.. Hager's recent proposal to
end segregation in the Districts
teacher colleges. The petitions
are to be sent to the board.
In his annual report to DIR.
Hobart M. Corning, Superintend-
ent of schools, the president of
Wilson College for white students
recommended his institution be
merged with Miner Teachers Col
lege for colored.
DR.. Hager said today that since
his proposal became public, he
has received quite a bit Of corre-
spondence, phone calls and two
kilograms. 1.-The letters I have
received" he said, showed about
a 5-1 ratio favoring my recon-
mendation."

Most Draft Delinquency Laid
ToQuick Moving, ForgetfuIness

This fellow is liable to a $4,000
fine and five years in Federal
prison, but if the reason is honest
enough, draft boards often take
a merciful view.
The other fellow is in a tougher
spot. He's already qualified by
reporting and passing his exams
but he just doesn't show up on
the morning Of his induction call
In this case-or in any other
"wilful" delinquency-the board
usually turns the matter over to
the FBI and the United States
attorney, who play for keeps.
In both cases, If a man is de-
linquent, or thinks he is, draft
officials urge the fastest possible
report to the draft board.
ANY way you look at it. the real
draft dodger faces hard life.
In New York City the Selective
Service director, Col. Gambler
Cobb. has turned the names of his
delinquents over to the FBI.

described it as routine.
Gen. Clark told reporters he

the combat fitness of American
troops when he returns to Wash

ican troops, approved Saturday by
President Truman, probably will
begin arriving in Western Ger

Mr.. Maloney contended that
questions as to what schooling Mr.
Grunewald had-the witness had
started to say he received his edu-

to do with the overlapping in

his client to refuse to answer the

U. N. should make sure of no more
North Korean aggression once the
Communist invaders are pushed
beyond the 38th parallel.

not commit himself as to just
what should be done finally in Ko-
rea but outlined a target:
II do say whatever we decide te
do we ought to make certain thai
they (the Red invaders) will moi
be in a position to exercise this
aggression any more"
Senator Sparkman was not as
explicit on the point as Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia, appearing with him on the
broadcast. The Californian urged
United States leadership for q
clear policy that these aggres-
sors are going to be moved out
north of the 38th parallel"
Senator Knowland described al
sound" the statement from Gen
Macarthur that the Chinese Ma
tionalist stronghold of Formoss
should not be allowed to fall int
unfriendly hands.
Senator Sparkman. in that ex.
change said "the unfortunate par
of Gen. Macarthur statement re.

that he proposed unilateral actor

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Are
American men dodging the new
draft? Not the overwhelming
majority.
There have been a few we'll
reported soft spots in the draft
here and there over the Nation.
New York City is one Of them.
Chicago somewhat less so.
But on a national basis, a 29-
city survey by the Associated
Press shows the young men Of
1850 are doing their duty as well
and as quietly as the young men
of 1910 or the young men Of 1917.
That is not to say the Selective
Service systems hasty switch
from peace to war has been
smooth. It could hardly be. But
neither has it shown any wide
spread bad morale, malingering
or organized resistance to Amer
ica'S stand in Korea.
Fail to Show Up.
Some shocking figures on draft
delinquencies have been printed
in recent weeks-mostly in the
big cities. Some of these have
reached the total of 80 per cent
If that meant what it seemed
things would be in very bad shape
indeed. 1t would amount to a
national sit-down strike that
would fatally sabotage American
power abroad and give the enemy
more than just aid and comfort.
It's true that in New York City
IL per cent of the men actually
failed to show UP, for one induc-
ton Gala very serious matter,
especially for the men.
It's also true that in Chicago
and other big cities like Baltimore,
st. Louis and Indianapolis from
Is to 80 per cent have failed to
answer draft board letters or to
show up for pre-induction physical
examinations.
&NA0AAJ AAoV& AsAONVAe
But in contrast to this, the pre-
induction delinquencies have been
much less than l per cent in Port
land, Me-, and Portland, Greg.
in Texas and Colorado in
Kansas City and Milwaukee and
North Carolina. And in these
States-and many others-willful
delinquencies are almost at the
vanishing point.
What the figures mean, draft
officials seem to agree, is simply
that lot of young Americans in
our quick shifting population have
just moved away and left no for
warding address.
There are really two kinds of
draft delinquents." and possibly
some of the scare writing hasn't
taken this into account.
One is a fellow who for some
reason or other doesn't get his
greetings" from the draft board
or who forgets that physical
exam. Maybe he's on vacation,
or at sea, or away working. Or
he just forgets that the draft
board should always have his right
address.

McCarran Red Curb
May Contain Key 10
Congress Recess
By J. A. O'Leory

The McCarran Communist con-
troll bill, due to pass the Senate
tomorrow over White House OPP
position, may hold the key to
when Congress will start its elec-
tion recess.
The administration is fighting
the McCarran bill. because it in
cludes the Mundt-Ferguson plan
to require registration of all Com
muniSts and the officers OF all
front organizations.
A group of presidential sup
porterS are making last-ditch
effort to stop the McCarran bill
with a substitute that would not
require registration now, but
would enable the Justice Depart
ment to intern all suspected SUBJ
versives if the President declared
an internal emergency. @*
With only three major issues
still pending, congressional lead
ers have been hoping to wind up
the session by the end of this
week, until after the voting In
November.
Mr.. Truman has said, however,
that he will not sign the McCar-
ran bill, and it is doubtful wheth-
er Congress will leave until it
knows the fate of that measure.
The bill can hardly reach Mr..
Truman's desk until near the end
of this week, and he then has 10
days in which to act. A measure
similar to the McCarran bill has
passed the House by a large ma
jority, and hackers of this type
of legislation undoubtedly will
want to remain in session long
enough to try to pass it over a
veto.
The only other measures Con-
greSS must act on before recess
are:
l. The $4.5 billion emergency
tax bill to help meet the cost
OF the Korean war.
2. The $16.7 billion supple
mental defense appropriation bill.
House leaders will try to get
the Senate version of the tax
bill into the hands of a Joint
conference committee early this
week. 1t raises the new revenue
by higher rates on individual and
corporation incomes, but some
House members are trying to
revive the unsuccessful Senate
fight to tack on a wartime excess
profits levy. The Senate bill
promises action at the next seS-
sion on the excess-profits issue.
Meanwhile, the Senate Appro-
priations Committee will bring
out revised draft of the supple
mental appropriation bill within
a day or two.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada served notice over the
week end he will strive to keep
Congress here long enough to
vote again on the Communist
control bin If Mr.. Truman vetoes
it. and predicted veto would be
overridden. 1
