Brewster Finds Taft
Has 1932 Precedent
In Lilienthal Fight
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine yesterday found a Demo
cratic precedent for the Taft fight
against President Truman's reap
pointment of members of the
Atomic Energy Commission for five
year terms, running far beyond
next fall’s elections.
In 1932. when President Hoover
was ending his term. Senator
Brewster said, the Senate held up
confirmation of 1,700 Hoover ap
pointees whose terms would have:
extended into the Roosevelt admin
istration.
This was one of the first sena
torial comments on the announce
ment of Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio that he would seek to block
confirmation of Chairman David E. *
LUianthal and four other members
of the Atomic1 Energy Commission.
The Ohio Senator was a leader in
the original fight against Mr.
Lilienthal.
Their nominations for tht new;
terms were sent to the Senate early
last week.
Position Called Personal.
One influential Republican Sena
tor suggested that the Tgft stand
was not a matter of Republican
policy but rather was a personal
position.
Senator Brewster, who has been
supporting the Taft candidacy, told
a reporter:
"In administrative matters, as we
approach the possible, if not prob
able end of an administration, there
is a question of meshing one ad
ministration into a new one. This
is to be considered.
“This was demonstrated clearly
at the end of the last Republican
administration when the Senate
held up 1,700 of the Hoover nomi- j
nations. ”
He said he was not criticizing
the policy involved in the 1032 cases,
though , he thought it had been
carried ' too far” since it was ex
tended at that time "even to judicial
appointments.”
Roosevelt Already Elected Then.
In the winter of 1932, the Republi
cans had a technical majority in
the Senate, but Hoover nominations
were blocked by a combination of
Democrats and some Republicans.
Senator Brewster agreed that in
1932 therp was one difference in
that President Roosevelt already
had been elected to succeed Mr.
Hoover at the end of what proved,
to be the last "lame duck” Con-j
gress. which ended March 3. 1933,
But the same general considerations
apply to the present situation where
there is a likelihood of a change in
the Federal administration, he said
Senator Brewster said his remarks
were not to be applied in 'any
particular ease” as topending nomi
nations.
Knowland (’alls for FBI Files.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California, who a year ago joined
in the successful fight for confirma
tion of Mr. Lilienthal yesterday
made one definite stipulation as to
the new issue.
He said he believed a "necessary
prerequisite” to asking any con
firmation in the atomic energy field
was to permit Senators on the Joint
Commitfee on Atomic Energy to ask
and receive FBI loyalty reports on
every person named or reappointed
to the Atomic Energy Commission.
He introduced a first bill on this a
year ago after the hearings on the
1047 Lilienthal confirmation. It was
not directed at the nominee but was
offered as a result of what Senator
Knowland found to be "loopholes”
In the law as to loyalty checks on
AEC appointees.

'Secession' Protesting
Civil Rights Bill Marks
Boy Legislature Close
|y the Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, April 34. — Mary
land’s boy legislators headed for
home tonight after three days of
lawmaking high lighted by the last
minute "secession” of the Anne
Arundel County delegation in
protest over a civil rights bill.
The measure, ‘passed yesterday
and signed by "Gov.” Arthur Green -
baum of Baltimore, provided that
all Marylanders "regardless of race,
creed or color shall be entitled to
equal use of restaurants, barber
shops, theaters, beaches and all
other places of public accommoda
tion.”
This afternoon, the Anne Arundel
County delegation draw up a bill
authorising Annapolis ‘‘to secede
;from the State of Maryland.”
Decide to Resume Seats.
When the House voted not to
consider the bill, the delegation
announced it was going to secede
anyway. After a five - minute
recess, however, members of the
group changed their minds and
decided to take their seats again (
to be able to vote on pending legis
lation affecting their county.
Otherwise, the fifth annual ses
sion of the Model General Assem
bly sponsored by the YMCA was
more or less routine.
One of the bills signed by the
"Governor" required the Washing
! ton Suburban Sanitary Commis
sion to refund its bonds and issue
revenue bonds, thus clearing Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun
ties of the necessity of guarantee
ing payment of the bonds. The
measure was introduced by "Dele
gate” George Yost of Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School.
Four Vetoes Overridden.
The House passed 15 bills and
the Senate 9. "Gov.” Greenbaums
veto of four bills was overriden by
the Legislators. The measures pro
vided for State-wide daylight sav
ing time, public election of county!
school boards, salary increases for
teachers based on experience and
annual venereal disease examina
tions for school children.
Stating his opposition to the bill
to raise teachers' pay according to
their experience, the boy "Gover
nor" declared: "You and I know
that experience alone tvill never
improve some of our teachers.”
In his closing address, "Gov.”]
Greenbaum singled out four bills
for commendation. These would |
prohibit discrimination in public ]
places, set up special establishments!
‘for juvenile delinquents, require re
newal of drivers’ licenses every j
three years and provide for physi
cal examinations for school chil
dren.
Fishery Bill Signed.
Some of the other bills signed
would:
1. Overhaul the Tidewater Fish
eries Commission along lines that
met with failure during the actual
General Assembly session last year.
2. Require labor unions to ac
count for their finances.
3. Allow courts to appoint their
own staffs.

May Be Sent for Mental Check
When David Douglas Davenport
makes his 100th Municipal Court i
appearance next Saturday he will |
learn whether Judge John P

have his head examined.
Judge McMahon served the 32
i year-old defendant this notice yes
terday when Davenport showed up
for sentencing on a charge of as
saulting a Washington Terminal
i policeman. A jury had convicted
him on the charge last month.
"A thought has been creeping
into my mind,” the judge told the
defendant. "Over a prolonged
period you have willfully, deliber
ately and intentionally persisted in
making a nuisance of yourself in
Union Station. You have been to
court more times than I can re
member, and on one occasion you]
openly admitted you sell bootleg1
liquor up there.
"I am beginning to suspect there!
is some form of lunk in your brain,
and I want a week to consider
whether there is prima facie evi
dence of something wrong with your
mind,” Judge McMahon continued.
He added that if he ‘makes up his
mind” to that effect he will send
Davenport to Gallinger Hospital
for a mental check.
The judge then asked the defense
if it had anything to say, where
upon Davenport's lawyer, Saul
Litchenberg. turned to Davenport
and asked flatly: "Are you crazy.
Douglas?”
"So, I don’t think I'm crazy.” the
defendant rejoined, adding that he
frequents the concourse only be

Truman Plans to Visit
Washington State in
June, Wallgren Say$
|y the Associated ?'•**
SPOKANE, April 24. — President
Truman has agreed tentatively to
visit Washington State in June, Gov.
Mon C. Wallgren said today.
‘I feel pretty definite that he 1*
coming.” the governor said, "it Is a
question of working out details of his
itinerary.” j
Gov. Wallgren disclosed he had
telephoned the President Just before
business sessions got under way at
the Washington State Democratic
convention.
He said President Truman's trip
to the State tentatively is scheduled
for June 9. 10 and 11. The President1
might make an address in Spokane |

Grand Coulee Dam, Seattle. Olympia
and possibly Tacoma. He would fly

uled address June 12,

His call to the "President, Gov.
Wallgren said, had no bearing on a
quarrel at the convention over send
ing an instructed or uninstructed
delegation to the National Demo
cratic convention. The President
did not ask that a delegation
pledged to support him for re
election be chosen, the governor
said. '
"I personally have favored free;
and open conventions,’' the Governor;
said. "I think the delegates can use;
their own judgment on naming an
instructor or uninstructed delega- j
tion.”
Gov. Wallgren, a close friend of
the President, said he had predicted
some time age that Washington's
delegation would not be instructed.
The State convention instructed
its delegation to support President
Truman on the first roll call.
Amendment Tabled.
The convention tabled an amend
ment calling for an uninstructed
delegation after the resolution to
support President Truman had been
presented.
When the section was read a
demonstration was staged on the
floor. A small group .paraded with
banners reading "New Blood for a
New Deal" and carrying the names
of Supreme Court Justice Douglas
and Gen. Eisenhower.
The convention adopted a plat
form criticizing United States policy
reversal on the partition of Pales
tine. One section called for the
partitioning of Palestine as orig
inally proposed by the United States
as soon as practicable.

his country's ambassador to Russia
before coming to the United States.
He setd that probably "we ere e
bit afraid end ready to see big
black bogies where a closer scrutiny
and more reflection reveal nothing
but bad manners, inexperitnct and
a deadly sense of inferiority, upon
which is auperimposad s high ex

sift them, to wonnow the chaff;
from the wheat in such a way as to
determine which are no more than
episodes to be brushed away as of
only fugitive concern, and which
are intrinsic, fundamental and of
sustained significance. It is a deli

Moscow "a Good Schooh”
"Moscow, where I spent four!
years, was a good school in which;
to leam this all important task," he
continued dryly. “We made many
blunders, but we often found tnat
what was, to all intents and pur
poses, a high crisis today was no
I more than wind—Vishinsky’s wind
: —tomorrow.
"In these times, it seems to me,
when we have done our winnowing
: we find much episodic chaff still |
polluting and spoiling the funda
mental wheat, when It should have;
been blown away by the breezes of
wisdom end discernment.”
Mr. Austin In his paper said, pre- j
gumably referring to Italy, that!
some States have been excluded
from membership for political rea

Sunday Bulletin. Asked whbthei
he thought Gen. Eisenhower might
be a presidential candidate on the
Democratic ticket, Senator McGrath
recalled the general’s original state
ment that he Is not a candidate.
“I take Oen. Eisenhower’s state
ment as definite and final,” the
Rhode Island Senator said.
He added that on a recent Western
trip he had heard a great deal of
sentiment for Supreme Court Justice
Douglas as a possible presidential
nominee.
“There also was some talk of
Washington’s Gov. Mon Wallgren

Grath said. Gov. Wallgren is a
close friend of President Truman,
with whom he served in the Senate.
