Segments of the 26th Women's
Patriotic Conference on national
defense staged a walkout today in
protest against the conference
practice of adopting resolutions.
The walkout began as the con-
ference prepared to take up the
report of its resolution commit
tee in the meeting at the Static
Hotel.
Mrs. E. A. Campbell, national
president of the American Legion
Auxiliary and conference chair
man, arose and asked all dele
gates representing the auxiliary
to leave the conference.
Boos greeted her statement OF
explanation. Delegates of the
auxiliary to the Veterans OF For
eign Wars were called on to with
draw from the meeting room, and
they were followed by representa-
tives Of the National Ladies'
Auxiliary of Jewish War Veterans.
Delegates Urged to Stay.
During the milling about after
the announcement, another dele
gate to the conference, Mrs. Ellis
French johnson, declared that 1--WE
are trying to fight for the rights OF
free speech in the United States.
She u; ;ed the delegates to stay
and vote on the resolutions.
Mrs. Campbell said that when
the annual conference was de-
cided on for the purpose Of gath
ering information on national de-
fense, it was intended that the
information gathered be taken
back to the women's organizations
represented so that their policies
could be based on facts acquired
through the conference.

Vote to Extend 1t

By John v. Homer

Even if the Senate Rules Com.
mittee reverses itself on the Dis
trict crime investigation, 1t has
already dealt a blow to the in-
quiry which may prove irrepa-
|rable.
As soon as the rules unit voted
"wednesday for q 30-dayx limit on
extension of the probe into or

and other crime, tips on corrup-
ton stopped flowing into inyesti-
cation headquarters
A source closed to the Senate
District Crime Subcommittee said
today volunteer informants ceased
calling and writing to suggest
leads as soon as the limitation
was announced.
''It was like turning of a water
faucet" he said.
Enthusiasm Wanes.
The Rules Committee has not
locked the door to further ex-
tension, but its members appeared
Iunenthusiastic about extending
the investigation beyond February
90. It recommended-and the
Senate approved $4,000 ap-
preparation for a one-month exc

larry 81 deadline.
The Nicely committee had asked
$61 200 for a four-month extern

completed.

This case. in the opinion Of the
investigators, wrapped up the
whole story of District crime, with
the disclosure of racketeers. gang
warfare and police payoffs.
Tieup With Gamblers.
The committee also obtained
information about police associa-
ton with recognized gamblers
but 1t was unable to get the
gamblers themselves to reveal
much about their operations.
The investigators did obtain testi-
mony from several ex-numbers
employees which implicated their
former racketeer bosses.
The crime probers spent two
days questioning former Police
Chief Robert j. Barrett about his
extensive business transactions in
cash, and other matters. but they
were unable to clear up many
questions they hoped to answer
with a four months extension.
Senator Nicely, Democrat, OF
West Virginia, who heads the sub

his appeal to the Rules Commit

By WalIoee {. cloyton

Men and women from a score
|of countries have been journeying
to Washington since the war to
pursue one common goal-a better
medical education.
The amizing progress Of Amer
|ican medicine in the last 10 years,
coupled with the shattering blows
delt European medical centers by
the war, has made the United
States the pre-eminent center for
postgraduate training.
In Metropolitan Area hospitals
today there are some 100 doctors
filling internships or residences.
Such countries as Belgium. Iran.
Turkey, Thailand, Honduras, Mex
leo. the Philippines, Yugoslavia.
Greece, Lithuania and Canada
are represented.
All traipees have been cleared
by the State Department and are
studying under hospital plans ap-
proved by the State Department.
Their visas are good only as long
as they are engaged in the study
of medicine.
Majority Pay Own Way.
Some are here under State De-
partment grants. although the
majority have paid their own way
to the medical promised land with
funds painstakingly accumulated
during years of war and occupa-
ton. With many. 1t has been a
long wait.
DR.. Michael Seremetis, for ex-
ample. a 26-year-old resident in
surgery at Emergency Hospital,
didn't get to this country until
a few weeks ago. But he started
preparing for training here while
German troops occupied his home
town of Salonica. Greece. Secretly,
he took English lessons from a
professor in the university there.
Then his medical education,
which the Germans allowed him
to continue, was interrupted when
guerrilla forces threatened the
Greek government. For 80 months
he served as a medical corpsman
with a mountain regiment.
An American military doctor
recommended he try to complete
his training at Emergency Hos
pital.
Another Greek trainee at
Emergency is DR.. Panayota Athan-
aSiades, a woman doctor who met
and married an attache at the
Greek Embassy during her resi-
dence here. Co-workers and
patients quickly abbreviated her
name to "Dr. Athan."

Capital long accustomed to
parades cracked wide open. Adults
wept unashamed. Cheers echoed
from Lincoln Memorial to the
Capitol, drowning the victory
cresendo of 20 bands.
The fact that war still ragged in
the Pacific and that tens of thou
sands of men were yet to return
from Europe only intensified the
emotional pitch of the occasion.
Government clerks, housewives,
school children and men in uni
form packed every available space.
The general was greeted by top
officials, and he addressed the
Congress, but the people of Wash
ington claimed him for their own
that day. It wasn't Gen. Eisen-
hover. or even General Ike" to
those along the line of march.
Returning soldiers already had
brought the word. The general
was like" to them, despite his
five stars.
The crowd took up the chant
like. Ike, Ike!" The generals
homely, sun-tanned face split in
a grin that showed his teeth.
People reacted as if they knew the
general liked them and realized
what was in their hearts.
This feeling persists today
among tens of thousands of
troops who served under the gen.
eral overseas. They knew him as
one general who would never let
another soldier be a servant. War
correspondents who followed Gen.
Ike from Africa, through Italy
and across the Channel and the
Rhine were impressed with this
fact:
Rejected Caste System.
Ike rejected the idea that dis
cipline should be built on the caste
system. He demanded co-opera-
ton and received it in full meas
urre along with high morale and
loyalty, largely because his men
respected him more for his ability,
energy and goodwill than for the
high rank he carried.
The legend of Ike as the soldier
friend permeated every unit of
his far-fung command. The SER
geant might be an sob, and the
lieutenant something worse, but
a Sad Sack in rear echelon con-
soled himself with the thought
that, if Ike knew his plight, he
would take him off K. P.
Gen. Ike was not only anxious
to share his glory with his troops
and his allies, but he ducked his
share on occasion. Prime Min
lister Churchill once told him in
an imitation Midwestern drawl:
What I like about you, Ike, is
you amt no glory hopper"
Mr.. Churchill meant he liked
the way the general gave others
credit for the victory in Europe.
Gen. Ike demonstrated this quality
