AAUW Background on Asset
DR.. McHale thinks her long ex-
perience with the American As
sociation Of University Women
is the greatest asset she brings to
this new job. She of course has
an intimate understanding Of the
organization (the AAUW has af-
filiates in 81 other countries) after
81 years.
Her training in psychology and
philosophy (she received her BIS
MA and Ph.D from Columbia, the
latter in 1926 also have been
valuable, she believes.

of the board, have been sitting as
a subcommittee Of two at hearings
to determine whether the Com
muniSt Party in this country is
under foreign domination and con-
troll, as charged by the Depart
ment of Justice.
If they should decide that it is,
and their judgment is upheld by
the entire board (and ultimately
by the Supreme Court. to which
the Communists have indicated
they will appeal if the board rules
against them), the party then
would be required to register with
the Justice Department and dis
close many closely guarded party
secrets.
A DeIicote Problem
It is a delicate problem that
confronts DR.. McHale and her
fellow judge. Underlying the Spe-
cific question of whether American
Communists are controlled from
Moscow is a much more basic, and
very grave, Constitutional issue:
how to permit the maximum of
individual freedom without en-.
dangering the national security OF
all.
From April Of last year to Au-
gust Of this, when the hearings
finally wound up. the two judges
have listened to an estimated three

administration the associations
membership increased from about
80 900 In 1929 to lis, 500 in 1850.
For most Of the summers during
those years she conducted q group
of college students on q tour Of
Europe. She has been In every
European country-including RUS
sia-except Portugal, and hopes to
get there some time.
In between these activities she
found time to write several books,
pamphlets and articles on edu-
cational subjects.
DR.. McHale has lived in the
same apartment at the Broad
moor since she first moved to
Washington in 1929. In her spare
time-of which she hasn't had
much lately-she likes to read,

SENATE GROUP VOTES TO
RESHUFFLE WAGE BOARD
AND STRIP ITS POWERS

WASHINGTON QR - The Senate
Banking Committee has voted to
strip the Wage Sterilization Board
(WSB) of its controversial powers
in labor disputes and to reorganize
it as an all-public body.
AS now set up, the board con-
sists of six members each rep
resenting organized labor, industry
and the public.
At the same time the committee
voted late Tuesday to continue
wage and price controls until next
March 1.
Today, two Democratic senators
said the controls-extender would
weaken the dikes against initiation.
Sens. Douglas of Illinois and
Moody of Michigan said the COM
mittee Ibid not adopt a single
Strengthening amendment favoring
the consuming public"
In acting on President Truman
request that Congress extend all
sterilization controls through June
80, 1858, the committee voted "a
to:
1. Continue wage and price con-
trolls until next March /.
2. Extend rent control and au-
thority to allocate scarce civilian
materials through June 30. 1853.
The current controls law expires
June 80.
The Z to 3 vote to reorganize
the Wage Board was an outgrowth
of bitter criticism of the boards
handling of the steel dispute. Pro-
tests have been voiced IL Congress
over the amount of pay raises the
WSB recommended for the CLIO
Steelworkers and for its endorse
ment of a union shop in the in
dustry.
The reorganization proposal, pre-
sented by Sen. Dirksen (R.-In.) J,
does not say how many members
the board should have. Their ap-
pointment would be subject to SEN
ate confirmation. Present board
appointments are not.
The committee instructed its
staff to draw up an amendment
to specify that the Capehart
Amendment to the controls law
applies only to manufacturers and
not to retailers.
The Capehart provision says
price ceilings must allow for in
creased costs from the start of
the Korean War to last July 26.
The proposed amendment was
requested by the Office of Price
Sterilization. 1t said otherwise
prices would have to be raised
ON a long list of foods as result of
an emergency Court of Appeals
ruling last week that Capehart ap-
plies to retailers as well as to
manufacturers.

Another of the essays which de-
serves special attention is the one
entitled 1.-The Function of Crit
cism" by Joseph Wood Krutch.
The two outstanding character
istics of all of Mr.. Krutchs writing
are his brilliant wit and scholarly
judgment. Channeled to a great
extent into literary and dramatic
criticism his genius has expressed
itself in some of the most penetrat-
ing and careful judgments Of
everything from Restoration come
dy to reviews of contemporary no.
wells and plays in the New York
Times and the Nation.
This particular essay states
clearly Mr.. Krutch's position on the
function of criticism. Like a wise
man at a racetrack he didn't de-

reading his first ten books and
plays and permit it to curdle into
set rules for the game. His mind
remains receptive and liquid to the
fact that anything might happen.
This reviewer had an interesting
experience in relation TO Mr..
Krutch. In one of the courses which
he teaches at Columbia University
he expressed the interesting theory
that tragedy in the Greek sense
was impossible today because of
the lack of nobility in most figures.
because of the penetration of Freud
and various offShoots of economic
determiniSm in our thinking. The
result is an over emphasis on pity

Police Lieutenant Fired
From Force AS Commissioner
Upholds Gross Testimony

NEW YORK IN 49, Boss Bookie
Harry Gross testimony of graft
payments had the support today
of Police Commissioner George P.
Monaghan, who fired lieutenant
hours before retirement.
The commissioner said he was
"convinced that the testimony of
Gross is not a recent fabrication"
as he ousted 1t. Thomas ]. Evans,
a 21-year veteran On the force.
Evans, who sought to retire at
midnight Tuesday, was accused OF
sharing in million dollars a year
hribes Gross says he paid police
TO protect his reputed 20 million
dollars a year bookie business.
Monaghan fired the 44-year old
Evans Tuesday just eight hours
before the retirement would have
been effective. AS a result, Evans
loses $2,575-a-yesr pension.
Daniel Jacobson, attorney for
Evans, said he planned to ask the
Appellate Division of the State SUI
preme Court to review the case.
The lieutenant was the first po-
lice officer found guilty on the
direct evidence of the 36-yeap-old
Gross, who last year twice refused
to testify against accused police
men.
Action against Evans came on
the recommendation of James A.
Delehanty, special deputy commits
sioner, who presided at the de-
partmental trial of Evans and four
other suspended policemen.
Delehanty and Monaghan are ex-
pected to rule Thursday ON the
other four defendants whose APP.

come effective later this month

by the city last week against the
five. Each of the defendants denied
