Mrs. Schenefleld Talks to Women Democrats Discussing the three outstanding political philosophies of the day— Democracy, Communism and Fas cism—Mrs. Hale Schenefleld of the graduate school of American Uni versity . warned yesterday that the liberal- demajbeme. tradition of this country is not Impregnable from within. She tpbke before the Women’s National Democratic Club at its weekly iajjCheon at the club house. ' “The main uifcKger to the demo cratic tradition in our country,” she declared, "is that we .shall lose our sympathy, forget, in short, how the other half lives; neglect our youth problem, smugly deny the existence of conditions that disturb our com placency, and drift into a repression of any contrary ideas by those who may disagree.” Earlier she .had described the democratic tradition as coinciding closely with the Christian emphasis on the sacredness of human person ality—the worth of every individual. The other two, Fascism and Com munism—“if, Indeed, they are not one”— she said, have not been at all concerned with the individual as such, but with the state as the “be all and end-all of existence.” Mrs. Schenefleld, who is known in university circles as Dr Norma Bird, was introduced by Mrs. Claude Porter. The program yesterday was one of a series scheduld this week at the club. Senator Bennett Champ Clark will discuss the subject of reciprocal trade treaties before the Thursday dinner, while Mrs. Florence Kerr, as sistant commissioner of the Work Projects Administration, will speak at the information meeting of the public speaking class Thursday morning. Mrs. D. Tucker Brown, club presi dent, will preside. Writers Hear Talk On Broadcasting Those who seek s “short cut” into radio work are apt to be disap pointed, Miss Alice Keith, director of the National Institute of Broad casting in this city, told the Pro fessional Writers' Club last night at the Y. W. C5 A. Miss Keith said she frequently is asked if she can place prospective pupils "on the radio’Mn 10 weeks. Mechanics of style are fully as important in radio work as in jour nalish, she said, adding that good organization is even more important in radio than in the magazine field. — War Jobs Hit Before A. A. U. W. Mrs. Kerr Urges Peacetime Employment Declaring that in the world today war is becoming the chief employer of mankind. Mrs. Florence Kerr, as sistant commissioner of the Work Projects Administration, warned yesterday that peace cannot long or successfully compete with war if peace cannot offer the full employ ment that war always offers. Mrs. Kerr, who spoke before the Washington branch of the American Association of University Women at its weekly tea at the clubhouse, ex pressed her belief that W. P. A. projects of all kinds are an impor tant affirmation of the American be lief in work. “They are, an affirmation of our American belief in peace and in the capacities of a democracy to produce and distribute the good things of life to all the people," she tfdded. Pointing out that the costs of con structive efforts in the works of peace are small in comparison with the “infinite and tragic costs of war,” Mrs. Kerr declared: “If it is the obligation of our Gov ernment to help create full economic opportunity in America, then I think we must not be discouraged because complete success has not yet crowned our efforts.” In her opinion, the question of a W. P. A. job for an unemployed and destitute musician, clerk, teacher, nurse or draftsman is more than a question of figures in the budget of a fiscal year, she continued. “It is a question of what kind of civilization we have, what kind of civilization we want, what kind of civilization we are willing to struggle for and hand on to our children,” She said. Earlier Mrs. Kerr had discounted any expectation that America could build prosperity on the "miseries of war-torn Europe” and that we are going to be able to dispense with a large program of public work for the unemployed in the near future. She added there is reason to be lieve it will take 20 or 30 years to solve the problems that must £$ solved before our economic re dSgery is complete. - - •• . . %)inting a goal, sire-expressed the belfitf Americans must look forward to opportunities of useful work for everylbdy and a full share of the good tnings of life for everybody She declared further that since the W. P. A. program has been put in operation here in the District, grocers and other food merchants have sold about $9,000,000 worth of food to W. P. A. workers. "Thus, to a significant extent,” she said, “our neediest jobless work ers remain customers of American industry and business. Back in depression days it was not so.” ST.
