Pledge to Save Food
To Aid Needy Abroad
Washington residents today were
carrying into action pledges given
yesterday in churches throughout
the District to conserve food so
those in need overseas could eat.
Pastors in Protestant and Cath
olic Churches yesterday called on
their congregations to aid in the
drive for conservation of food by
eating less wheat products, saving
fats and oils and utilizing to the
fullest extent leftovers for later
meals. Rabbis in Jewish synagogues
and temples had made a similar
appeal to their congregations Fri
day and Saturday.
Catholic worshipers were urged
by Archbishop Michael J. Curley
to “eliminate waste and conserve
necessary food in order to relieve
the suffering people of the world."
The appeal also suggested where
practicable that people start victory
gardens to help in the food crisis.
Spearheading the inter-faith
aspect of the campaign is the Wash
ington Food Conservation Comittee,
with Raymond F. Garrity as chair
man. Clergymen on the committee
are the Rev. Jerome Winter, pastor
of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church;
Dr. Frederick E. Reissig, executive
secretary of the Washington Federa
tion of Churches, and Rabbi Norman
Gerstenfeld, spiritual leader of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation.
The Rev. Dr. Oscar F. Black
welder, pastor of the Lutheran
Church of the Reformation, pointed
out in his sermon yesteqjay that
the American churches had forecast
the need for European relief long
before our government had acted.
Dr. Blackwelder added that the
church should continue to take the
lead in humanitarian projects and
urged his congregation to support
both the Government efforts and
church drives.
Dean John Wallace Suter of
Washington Cathedral led wor
shipers at the 11 am. service there
in repeating the District food con
servation pledge. At the Washing
ton City Church of the Brethren,
the Rev. Dr. Warren J. Bowman
told his listeners there must be no
letting up in the work until the
need has been fully satisfied.
Catholic parishioners in churches
here repeated the pledge for sav
ing food urged upon them by Arch
bishop Curley.
Churches throughout the District
are planning drives and other
events to keep the need for sav
ing provisions before their congre
gations. Calvary Baptist is hold
ing a series of rationed suppers to
raise mqney for overseas’ relief.
Other churches are planning similar
dinners, the proceeds of which will
go to this cause.
Police and Firemen
Hear McCormack's
Warning on Russia
Pear and uncertainty prevail
throughout Europe because of Soviet
Russia’s influence which "has pre
vented in some countries the estab
lishment of legitimate government,”
House Majority Leader McCormack
declared yesterday at the 12th an
nual communion breakfast of the
Catholic Police and Firemen’s
Society.
More than 500 policemen and
firemen, gathered in the Willard
Hotel with their families, heard
Representative McCormack's 45
minute address in which he charged
Russia with failure to “co-operate
internationally.”
“The time has arrived for a frank
expression of views,” Mr. McCor
mack said, “It is only through plain
talking and an honest exchange of
views that understanding and prog
ress will result.”
Fears for Future Peace.
With Police Supt. Harvey G. Cal
lahan and Fire Chief Clement Mur
phy present. Representative McCor
mack said there are many who feel
the United States and Great Brit
ain ‘‘have gone too far” to lay the
foundation for permanent peace.
“It seems that the only time the
Soviet Union agrees to anything is
when a question is decided in its
favor," the majority leader declared.
“We have reached the limit that we
can go in this respect.
“If the Soviet Union really wants
peace, it will have to co-operate
with other Nations. If the Soviet
Union persists in its present policies
of steppiing on the toes of other
Nations; of injecting fear and caus
ing uncertainty among smaller Na
tions in violation of the spirit of
its agreements, and of injecting itself
directly or indirectly into the affairs
of other Nations, the chances of
building a foundation for permanent
peace will disappear.”
More Than 400 in March.
Preceding the breakfast, where
Representative Herbert, Democrat of
Louisiana, also spoke briefly, more
than 400 policemen and firemen
marched from the Knights of Co
lumbus Hall, 918 Tenth street N.W.,
to St. Patrick’s Church, where they
received communion.
Led by Maj. Callahan, Chief
Murphy and two parade marshals—
Capt. Robert Pearce and Battalion
Chief Alexander Lipske—the blue
clad formations marched to the
church as they have every Mother’s
Day since 1934. At the head of
the parade were the American,
Papal and society flags carried by
three soldiers and three sailors.
The Most Rev. John M. Mc
Namara, said the mass and preached
a sermon lauding the departments
“for their splendid work in protect
ing our city amidst such abnormal
ly crowded conditions.”

Plot to Kill Umberto
Reported and Denied
By the Associated Press
ROME, May 13.—The Rome after
noon newspaper Italia Sera said
today it had learned “reliably” of a
Fascist plot to assassinate King
Umberto II. However, the report
was immediately denied by Interior
Minister Giuseppe Romita.
The newspaper said the conspira
tors planned to kill Umberto on
accusations of betraying Mussolini,
Fascism and “the German ally.”

against returning.
Pickets stopped workers at one of
the mines -voting a return—the Lu
cerne pit of the Rochester & Pitts
burgh Coal Co. near Indiana, Pa.—
from entering for a shift last night.
In the important Fayette County
district, eight locals with a member
ship of 9,000 voted against going
back to work. Only one local with
1,500 members decided to return.
Elsewhere in the Nation, the coal
gtrike appeared to be over—for at
least the next two weeks.
Freight Ban Lifted.
The Office of Defense Transporta
tion, mindful of the potential results
of its railroad freight embargo, par
ticularly on the motor car industry,
lifted that restriction, but retained
the 25 per cent cut in railroad pas
senger service. However, plans to
jnake it a 50 per cent reduction by
Wednesday were abandoned.
A move to attach an anti
royalty provision to the House-ap
proved Case bill and hurry it toward
•£jnal congressional approval was
sparked by Senator George, Demo
crat, of Georgia.
Senator George told a reporter he
believes the House measure is “all
right as far as it goes” but that it
should be amended to deal directly
with points of controversy in the
coal dispute.
One of these is the demand opera
tors say has been made by Mr.
Lewis for a 10-cent-a-ton royalty to
finance a health and welfare fund
for the workers.
As the Case bill left the House
weeks ago, it provided for estab
lishment of a labor-management
mediation board with a 30-day cool
ing-off period before strikes could
be called. It would make unions
subject to suit for violation of con
tracts, prohibit secondary boycotts,
put stiff penalties on violence in
labor disputes and exempt foremen
from unionization.
The Senate Labor Committee
toned down the measure until its
main provisions called only for a
mediation board which would at
tempt to settle disputes on a volun
tary basis and for a ban on inter
ference with farmers’ deliveries of
perishable products.
But Senator George predicted the
Senate will not accept the commit
tee bill, adding:
“We have got to have effective
legislation. I am not going to vote
for any weak bill such as the com
mittee reported. In principle I
think the Case bill is sound legisla
tion. We should attach the anti
royalty provision and hurry it
through.”
Senator Eastland, Democrat of
Mississippi, who was active in forc
ing Senate consideration of labor
legislation at this time, said he was
impressed with the idea of taking
the Case bill, adding one of two
provisions to it, and sending it back
to the House. That, he said, might
save time that otherwise would be
consumed in Senate-House argu
ments over other points.

number of occcasions that he will
not hesitate to order wartime ration
ing restored if such action is found
to be essential. Both the President
and Mr. Anderson have maintained
that rationing machinery could not
be set in motion in time for the
present crisis.
Meanwhile, the emergency food
collection drive to obtain money and
canned foods for famine relief be
gan today throughout the country.
The campaign will be organized ih
16,000 cities with collection depots in
stores, churches, police stations and
fire houses. Food and money ob
tained will be turned over to
UNRRA.
UNRRA Director General La
Guardia has said that cash gifts
would be more welcome and useful
than gifts of canned goods, because
UNRRA can buy at wholesale prices.
Bilbo

Be began five weeks ago making a
swing around the State, but there
have been signs recently that his
campaign is lagging. An attack of
laryngitis Saturday forced him to

GALVESTON, TEX—37 HURT AS PIER STEPS COLLAPSE—An alert cameraman snapped

treatment, Mr. Collins has been
slugging it out with him verbally.
Senator Bilbo is hard to match when
it comes to old-fashioned stump
oratory.
Friends of Mr. Ellis believe that
if he refuses to be drawn into a
day-to-day exchange of personali
ties with the chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, his plea for
election will be more effective. Mr.
Ellis also told this writer today that
he is not going to try to solve “any
great national problems from the
stump.”
He says he would rather ask the
voters of Mississippi, who know him,
to rely on him to use good judgment
in passing on important issues as
they arise. Here again, his cam
paign differs from that of other
senatorial aspirants, who are mak
ing specific proposals for veterans’
benefits and other postwar prob
lems.
Mr. Ellis has made only one speech
to date and that was in the little
town of Water Valley, in Northern
Mississippi, where he was train dis
patcher for many years. As he
opened his campaign, he was sur
rounded by some of his old railroad
buddies.
Seated in his modest frame home,
near the State Capitol in Jackson,
Mr. Ellis spoke in a quiet, but confi
dential manner of his prospects. His
warm manner makes a visitor feel
at home, and explains his reputa
tion as a popular public official.
When a photographer suggested
that he pose with Mrs. Ellis, they
joked good naturedly about their
many years of married life.
Mr. Ellis first ran for clerk of the
Mississippi Supreme Court in 1931.
In the first primary he led a field
of five candidates by more than
25,000 votes. One of his opponents
was the incumbent clerk, who had
been appointed by Senator Bilbo,
then Governor. In the run-off pri
mary later that year, Mr. Ellis was
elected by the biggest majority ever
given a candidate for State office—
100,000.
He has been re-elected three times
without opposition. It is with this
record as a vote-getter that he steps
into the Senate race.
Mr. Ellis was bom in 1890, in
Holmes County, in North Central
Mississippi. He went to Water Val
ley when he was 18, and his first
job on the railroad was as water
boy for a road gang. He spent
four years as a telegrapher, and
then 20 years as a train dispatcher.
He was a member of the Order of
Ralroad Telegraphers. The rail
road men constitute probably the
largest group of organized workers
in the State.
Senator Bilbo discusses all of his
opponents in his speeches, but thus
far he has been less severe in re
ferring to Mr. Ellis than to any of
the others. The Senator has been
referring to Mr. Ellis as "my
friend Tom” or “Brother Tom.”
He then tells his audiences that
he is not going to let Mr. Ellis
have the Masonic, the Baptist, or
the railroad workers’ vote. Because
he, too, is a Mason, a Baptist and
former news butcher on railroad
trains. The nearest he comes to
criticizing Mr. Ellis is to assert that
the Supreme Court clerk had prom
ised to support the Bilbo campaign
before he himself became a candi
date.
Mr. Ellis has made no direct reply,
beyond a statement that “I have
entered no political alliances that
would preclude an honorable man
from becoming a candidate.”
Much of Mr. Ellis’ popularity
grows out of the fact that in recent
years he has been invited to make
numerous nonpolitical Addresses at
school graduations and other gath
erings all over the State.
Mr. Ellis’ friends say it will not be
necessary for him to mention any of
his organizational affiliations, be
cause Senator Bilbo is doing that
for him.
Work Speeded on Bill
To Revise Spy Laws
To Protect Radar
By the Associated Press
•'Shocking” evidence that safe
guards surrounding American mili
tary information are inadequate,
was reported yesterday by Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska.
A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee,
which heard the evidence behind
closed doors during the last month,
hopes to complete this week a bill
to tighten up the 30-year-old es
pionage law to bring it in tune with
the age of radar and the atomie
bomb. Chairman Eastland told a
reporter the aim is to get the
measure in shape by Friday.
Senator Wherry explained that
in this day of mechanized warfare,
industrial “know how” or technical
engineering information may have
just as great military value as did
a “secret weapon” of twp decades
ago. Yet there is nothing in the
present espionage (spy control) law
which prevents export of industrial
“know how,” he said.
Desk Pen, Beans
Cause Freak
D. C. Accidents
A man who jammed a desk pen I
into his eye while bending over a,
desk was a typical victim of a num- j
ber of freak accidents which befell
District residents last week.
The Bed Cross Accident Preven
tion Service also reported: A woman
chopping the head off a chicken
severed part of her thumb; the hood
of an automobile dropped on the
head of a man checking the oil;
another man inhaled flames and
fumes while extinguishing an auto-!
mobile upholstery fire.
Two children went to hospitals i
with beans stuffed into their noses
and ears; two others were treated
after swallowing a nail and end of
a thermometer; a 4-year-old broke
an arm falling out of a bathtub.
Five deaths from home accidents
brought the year’s total to 92. At
this time last year there were 74
fatalities.
Pearl Harbor Report
Not Likely to Be
Ready by June 1
The Pearl Harbor Committee is
reported so sharply divided on pros
pective findings that it may have no
report on its inquiry before the June
1 deadline fixed by Congress.
Seth Richardson, committee
counsel, has laid before the 10 sena
tors and Representatives a lengthy
summary of evidence bearing on
both sides of major controversial
points raised in months of hearings
on the naval disaster which ushered
in the war with Japan.
Mr. Richardson’s report, obviously
intended to be used as the basis for
committee findings, has provoked
varied interpretations by members.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan said yesterday he does not
see how the group can get together
on any recommendations within the
next three weeks.
“The Senate has a great deal to
do before June J,” he told a re
porter. “We have labor legislation
before us, an OPA measure on the
way, the draft extension yet to be
decided and appropriation bills to
handle. We’re going to need more
time to write the kind of report that
should be made.”
Democratic Leader Barkley, chair
man of the group, said he still be
lieves a report can be drawn in the
remaining time, but Senator Lucas,
Democrat, of Illinois reported that
no progress has been made thus far.
Hoover's Philippines
Statement Disputed
By the Associated Press
MANILA, May 13.—Frank S.
Gaines, chief of the UNRRA mission
to the Philippines, took issue yester
day with recent statements of for
mer President Herbert Hoover in
Manila that the Philippine food sit
uation is comparatively good.
Mr. Gaines told the Philippine
Academy of Foreign Affairs that an
acute food shortage seems likely
within 90 days with rice output 40
per cent under the prewar figure.
Mrs. Irene Murphy, sister-in-law
of Supreme Court Justice Murphy
and head of the private Philippine
War Relief Mission, said 10,000 per
sons already have died of starvation,
mostly in the Northern Luzon moun
tains, “and 50,000 more face the
same grim prospect unless relief
comes and comes quickly.”
Mr. Gaines said price controls
were depriving Europe of much
needed fats and oils through failure
to stimulate production. He told the
academy that millions of coconuts
are rotting on the ground and hun
dreds of plantations remain covered
by jungle because local producers do
not want to sell at the controlled
price.
He also criticized price control as
cutting down exportation of Philip
pine copra, which once had Europe
as a market but presently goes only,
to the United States.

Testimony Disclosed.
Senator Eastland or other mem
bers have disclosed that during the
secret hearings the subcommittee
has received testimony that:
1. Russia has sought contracts
with American companies manu
facturing electronic devices. The
Soviets have asked as a part of the
contract that Russian engineers be
trained in the contractor's factory.
2. The Commerce Department
sells freely many technical docu
ments, including some seized from
Germany, dealing with articles the
Army and Navy*have declared “non
secret.” Russia and France do not
reciprocate.
Senator Eastland said there are
indications that secret devices can
be put together from parts which
have been classified as nonsecret.
Central Board Urged.
Both Senators Eastland and
Wherry said they are convinced that
some central board should be estab
lished to “clear” contracts made by
foreign governments in this country.
The subcommittee will hear ad
ditional witnesses from Government
departments early this week and
then turn to writing a bill. As a
working basis, it has a bill by Sen
ator Eastland which would prohibit
sale to foreign governments of any
electronic devices.
Senator Eastland said this would
require some revision. Radar is an
electronic device. So are self-guided
missiles and such devices as the
proximinity fuse which causes a
shell to explode when it nears its
target. But so, too, are radio sets,
and radio manufacturers have pro
tested that the Eastland bill would
prohibit export of their product.

Pope Urges Catholic
Women to Save Italy
•y th« Aitsciatad Pr«»»
VATICAN CITY, May 13.—Pope
Pius XII yesterday urged Italian
Catholic women to “save Italy’s
Christian civilization • • • in this
grave hour.’’
The Pope spoke Irom the confes
sional altar of St. Peter’s to an
audience of approximately 5,000
Catholics, including members of the
women’s section of the Italian
Catholic Action Organization.
He said it was up to Italian voters;
to decide whether Italy would con-i
tinue "that form of Christian civili
zation • • • which for 2,000 years j
has brought well-being to your coun
try.”
The Pontiff appealed to Italian!
women to maintain “that purity'
which until recent times was the
glory of Italian young women" and
told them to beware of propaganda
in favor of divorce and "willful
sterility.”
Referring to Italy's forthcoming
elections, the Pope said Italians had
a duty to vote for candidates who
would guarantee “respect for God.”
Concluding, the Pontiff said: “Go
—in this grave hour—well aware of
your responsibilities."

Mr. Giral said he would present

Mr. Giral indicated he would not

“I will present a very extensive
report to the United Nations,” Mr.
Giral said. “This report was pre
pared by the Spanish government
in-exile and consists of one main
document and 20 other documents.”
Spanish Republican circles said
Mr. Giral probably would tell the
subcommittee that failure of the
Security Council to act against the
Franco regime might result in an
other civil war in Spain.
