Hogan & Hartson
Firm as Counsel
i
Former Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes today became associated
with the law firm of Hogan <fc Hart
son as counsel, the firm announced
at its offices in
the Colorado]
Building.
Mr. Byrnes, a
first cousin of
the late Frank
J. Hogan, found
er of the firm
and for many
years one of the
most prominent
lawyers in the
United States,
will come to
Washington
probably next
week. «
Donald S.
Russell, formerly an Assistant Sec*
retary of State with Mr. Byrnes and
for many years with him in private
law practice at Spartanburg, 8. C„
and in Government offices here, also
has become associated with the firm,
it was announced.
Not Partners in Firm.
Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Russell, a
member explained, are joining the
firm as counsel and not as partners.
Since his resignation as Secretary
last January, Mr. Byrnes has spent
most of his time in Spartanburg. He
maintained a law office there for
many years.
Much of his ca
reer was in the
public service as
a Representative
and Senator and
Associate Jus
tice of the Su
preme Court
from June, 1941,
to October, 1942.
H e resigned
from the Court

Director of War
Mobilization at the request of Presi
dent Roosevelt. President Truman
appointed him Secretary of State in
July, 1945.
Grew Up Together.
Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Hogan grew
up practically as brothers in South
Carolina. Mr. Hogan's father died
in Brooklyn, N. Y., when he was 5
years old and his mother sent him
to his grandmother in Charleston.
Later he was raised by an aunt, the
mother of Mr. Byrnes. Mr. Hogan
had an opportunity to study law in
Washington and Mr. Byrnes began
law practice in Spartanburg about
the same time, 44 years ago.
Mr. Hogan died May 15, 1944.
Mr. Russell, a native of Missis
sippi practiced law in Spartanburg
before coming to Washington in 1942
as a member of the old Price Adjust
ment Board. He was assistant to Mr.
Byrnes in the offices of Economic
Stabilization and War Mobilization
and Reconversion.
After serving as a major at SHEAF
headquarters In 1944, he returned
to OWMR and became deputy di
rector. He was appointed Assistant
Secretary of State in September,
1945, and resigned last January.

Queen Elizabeth Freed
From Shoal by 16 Tugs
By th» Associated Press
SOUTHAMPTON, England, April
16.—The Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s
proudest ocean liner, was freed last
night from a sand bar in the harbor
entrance which had held her fast
for 26 hours.
Sixteen tugs strained and the
liner’s engines churned powerfully
on the third try at high tide and
the 85,000-ton vessel eased slowly
into deep water 8 miles from her
dock.
There was cheering from thou
sands watching from the shore, and
cheering, too, from the hundreds of
passengers still on board. Most ofi
the 620 first-class passengers had
been removed by tenders some hours
before.
The liner, a graceful giant with
tugs swarming about her, moved
only a few hundred yards into
deeper water and dropped anchor.
Cunard Line officials said the ship
would not try to dock until this
morning.
No one appeared to know definitely
whether the ship had been damaged
to any extent. Officials said divers
would make a careful examination
tomorrow to see if there were any
bent plates.
The Queen Elizabeth ran deep into
the bar Monday night in a tog while
under the command of Capt. C. M.
Ford, who suoceeded Capt. Sir James
Bisset on the latter’s retirement last
January. Efforts to free her Monday
night and again yesterday morning
failed.

Two-Faced Owls
Latest Weapon
In Starling War
By th» Associated Press
DECATUR, 111., April 16.—Two
faced, all-weather owls are Decatur’s
latest and most effective weapon
against the pestiferous starlings.
Like other cities warring against
the birds, Decatur found stuffed owls
perched on rooftops were effective
but they deteriorated in bad weather.
Sq Joe Swisher, city pest officer,
and his assistant, Jimmie Soules,
made 30 two-faced owls of alum
inum casts—fronts only—by molding
together the cast shells and then
touching them up to a natural finish
with wool, rayon, paint and glass
eyes.
They expect to market them in
other cities.
Compromise is Sought
On Strike of Lathers
Labor Department conciliators
said today they hope to arrange a
meeting between officials of the Em
ploying Plasterers’ Association and
Local 9 of the Wood, Wire and
Metal Lathers’ Union, AFL, to dis
cuss a compromise for ending the
strike of 55 lathers on 15 projects
here.
The union rejected a Labor De
partment request to resume negotia
tions yesterday with the employers,
the department reported. Harvey
L. Murray, union business agent,
and a spokesman for the association
said the situation remained un
changed as far as they knew.
The lathers last Monday morning
walked off the new George Wash
ington University Hospital project,
an office building under construc
tion at Eighteenth and M streets
N.W., a remodeling job at Julius
Garfinckel & Co. and several smaller
Jobs.
Businessmen to Oppose
Dupont Underpass
Representatives of the Connecti
cut Avenue Businessmen’s Associa
tion will appear before subcommit
tees of the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees at 10 am. Friday
to brand the Dupont Circle under
pass project as “wasteful and dam
aging.”
The association, meeting last
night at the Mayflower Hotel,
adopted a special committee’s re
port urging that Congress stop work
on the project.
Horace J. Meyers, chairman of the
Underpass Committee, told associa
tion members the project was use
less, would “destroy the beauty of
Connecticut avenue” and should not
be undertaken at a time when labor
and material costs were at a peak.
Instead of public works, all efforts
should be turned toward building
homes, Mr. Meyers and the associa
tion contended.
Samuel W. Barrow, association
president, explained the group felt
that Dupont Circle was not the
traffic bottleneck which it has been
branded. He said many other in
tersections in the city were as bad or
worse.
The association has notified all
property owners and merchants in
the Dupont Circle area of the hear
ing before the subcommittees and
expects strong support.
WHY NOT?

Communism imperils
Brazil, President id
Fordham Tells Club
Brazil is the Latin American na
tion “nearest to danger” from com
munism, the Fordham University
Club of Washington was told last
night at its annual dinner, attended
by Francis Cardinal Spellman, cab
inet officers and members of Con
gress.
The speaker, the Very Rev. Robert
I. Gannon, S. J., president of Ford
ham, addressed the group of 300
persons in the Mayflower Hotel.
It would “surprise moBt people” to
know that Brail, potentially one of
the richest countries, and one of
the friendliest nations is “most ex
ppsed, mo6t susceptible," to the
Communist movement, he said.
Sees Need of Courage.
The university president also
stressed that between 5,000,000 and
7,000,000 Communists who are un
derground in Europe are ready to
rise.
“A real crisis has arisen calling
for the utmost in statesmanship
and courage,” he remarked.
He asserted that Communist ideas
“have sunk like seeds into our soil
and are bringing forth strange
weeds,” and that many Americans
unconsciously are mouthing the
tenets of Communism.
Dr. Gannon was introduced by
James M. Mclnemey, president of
the Fordham Club of Washington.
Following the speech Cardinal
Spellman, a member of the class of
1911, gave the benediction.
Forrestal, Patterson Attend.
Other prominent guests included
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal,
Secretary of War Patterson, Secre
tary of the Treasury Snyder, Mat
thew J. Connelly, secretary to Presi
dent Truman; the Rev. Paul Mc
Nally, S. J., vice president of George
town University; many members
of Congress and of the local judi
ciary.
The Rev. Father McNally repre
sented the Rev. Lawrence J. Gor
man, S. J., president of Georgetown,
who was ill.
Among the Fordham alumni in
Washington who worked on the
committee were Senator McMahon.
Democrat, of Connecticut; Mr. Con
nelly; Undersecretary of the Treas
ury Edward J. Foley, and Assistant

Oswiecim Camp Chief
Dies for War Crimes
By.tft* Associated Frou
OSWIECIM, Poland, April 16.—
Rudolf Hoess, convicted of sending
4,000,000 persons to death while Nasi
commandant of the Oswiecim
(Auschwitz) extermination camp,
died on the gallows yesterday before
a handful of guards and justice
officials.
Calm to the end, the man who
spumed a chance to seek presiden
tial clemency after his conviction
for one of the biggest mass murders
in history removed a wedding ring
and asked that it be sent with a
farewell letter to his wife and chil
dren somewhere in Germany.
Under a Ministry of Justice ruling,
the public was barred from wit
nessing the hanging of the stocky,
47-year-old former colonel, who was
convicted April 2 by the nine-judge
Polish Supreme Court.
Hoess’ arrest last March climaxed
a year-long search by Allied author
ities. He signed a statement admit
ting that between June, 1941, and
the end of 1943, he had, on orders
from Gestapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler, supervised the gassing of
2,000,000 at the extermination camp,
located in Southwestern Poland
near Krakow.

TO THE FRIENDS of GREECE
Last Sunday the Greek Orthodox Church celebrated
Easter. A resident of this city received a letter from
Arcadia, a Greek province, which he wishes to share with
j his fellow Americans. This is the letter:
“The people of Greece are very grateful to President
Harry Truman and the American people in general. The
people in my community, especially the was: orphans,
wish to thank MR. HERBERT HOOVER, MR. SPYROS
SKOURA3 AND MR. WILLIAM G. HELIS for their lead
ership in the Greek War Relief Association.
“To these men and to all Americans we wish a very
Happy Easter, and we shall always remember their kind
ness and generosity. It may interest you to know that
a special service will be held on this Greek Easter morning
commemorating the liberation of our country, and the
prayers will be in behalf of all nations who are working
in our interest, especially the United States of America,
“Greece has always been the bastion of freedom and
democracy, even when faced with the difficult odds of
invasion and four years of occupation. May your country
continue to prosper and lead the way to peace ana
happiness.”
