Navy Bios Bars Promotions,
Irote WAVE Officers Chdrqe

WAVES were established as a
permanent organization that the
admirals have ruled against fe-
male promotions to the high
ranks. There are four WAVE
commanders and one captain
the director. The law authorizes
26 commanders.
The lady sailors" maintain
that the Army has "a WACs in
the comparable rank of lieuten-
ant colonel and the Air Force
has 80 WAAFs.
The Navy's personnel chief,
however, Scoffed at the charges
of discrimination against the
WAVES higher officers. They
say that some revisions in the
law to speed promotions from
lieutenant to lieutenant COM
mander may be sought SO that
the whole promotion process may
be changed.
Evening star., 1953-10-15

The Navy's WAVE officers were
charging today that perhaps dis
elimination against their sex is
keeping down promotions in their
high command.
The lady officers were irritated
over a ruling by Rear Admiral
Ira Lunn, Navy judge advocate
general, that the law does not
require an annual selection for
WAVES.
They were particularly aroused
because their Army and Air
Force counterparts have more
ranks above lieutenant COM
mander (major in the other
ServiceS) than do they.
The Navy decided that no
selection board will be convened
this fiscal year for advancement
of WAVE lieutenant command
erS to commander. This is the
third time in five years since the

Ohio Judge Rules Out
Fifth Amendment for
Witnesses al Probe
BY the Associoted Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. Is
An Ohio Common Pleas judge
ruled yesterday witnesses can
not invoke the fifth amendment
to the Federal Constitution in
refusing to testify before a State
legislative investigating COM
mittee.
The fifth amendment says no
person shall be compelled in any
criminal case to be a witness
against himself.
Refuge in State Law.
Judge William C. Bryant also
ruled witnesses cannot refuse to
testify under a similar provision
of the Ohio Constitution because
State law gives "three-way i'm
munity bath" to persons testify
ing before legislative investigat-
ing committees.
That law, he said. makes sub
Sequent criminal prosecution i'm
possible.
Judge Bryant made the ruling
in refusing to quash contempt
indictments against three Co.
lumbuS residents who refused to
testify before the Ohio Un-Amer-
lean Activities Commission last
year.
The Federal Bill of Rights
has no bearing on the State
law" the judge explained to a
reporter.
The judge asserted it was
''Well established" the Bill of
Rights-the first 10 amendments
to the Federal Constitution-Was
intended to limit the Federal
Government, not the States or
their agencies.
Purpose of Authors.
He SAID 1t was his lnterpreta-
Jlon that, although the authors
OF the Federal Constitution
didn't so state, they meant to
Safeguard rather than limit
State power"
The judges action overruled
demurrers filed by Mrs. Anna H.
Morgan, Robert E. Lee Terrill
and David Jackson. Mrs. Nor
gan was indicted on 81 counts
of contempt, Jackson on 13
counts and Terrill on Is.
Prosecutor Frank H. KearnS
said he planned to bring all
three cases to trial quickly.

Called Biased

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - DR.. Ed
ward Condor, former director
of the National Bureau of
Standards, recently compared
the methods of Senator JOS

Joseph Goebbles, Hitler's pro-
paganda chief, and by impli-
cation accused the investiga-

while 25 per cent of the sci

Harry Truman.
DR.. David Petegorsky, ex-
ecutive director, surveying
major trends on civil rights,
said that there have been
disturbing retreats on the
maintenance of the separa-
ton of Church and State both
as a fundamental principle of
American democracy and as
an indispensable safeguard
of the freedom and vitality of
religion" He cited the inten-
Sification of efforts to invade
the public school system thru
use of it's facilities or time
for religious instruction, the
introduction of prayer and
the distribution of Sectarian
literature in the schools.
Reporting on various as
poets of group relations in
this country for the past two
years, DR.. Petegorsky assert
ed that organized defamation
of various racial and religi-
Gus groups is at its lowest
ebb in many years. For
some months in 1852, during

said, "the hate groups swung
into more vigorous action,

Addressing the Decennial
Celebration of the American
Committee for the WeiZTnann
Institute of Science, Mr.. Tru-
man warned that unless the
Arab states and Israel "sit
down and negotiate their diff
ferences, the present condi-
ton of smoldering violence
will lead to graver dangers
and new disasters"
The former President de-
clared that u. S. support of
the establishment of the State
of Israel was mot an act of
favoritiSm," but was part and
parcel of American bi-parti-
san foreign policy in the Mid
die East which has been in
Strumental also in helping
Syria and Lebanon achieve
independence. He added that
through the United Nations,
the u. S. had supported the
creation of the newest Arab
State-Libya.
On the subject of Ameri-
can assistance to the Arabs,
Mr.. Truman stated: "Not
only as a people, we have
long shown our sympathy for
and our desire to help the
peoples of the Middle East.
Before the Ottoman Empire
fell, American missionaries
and American educators had
established colleges and uni
VersitieS in those countries.
Mr.. Truman concluded that
the United States could never
be indifferent" to the fate of
Israel because of emotional,
political and spiritual ties. He
noted, too, that Israel, as a
democracy, will stand with
the other free nations of the
world against Communism" "
