Applications Made
For Summer Camps
By 1,000 Children
Nearly 1,000 children already have
applied for admission to Camps
Good Will and Pleasant this sum
mer, S. John Crawley, secretary of
the Summer Outings Committee of
the Family Service Association, an
nounced today.
The applications for summer
camping were made through 21
health and welfare agencies, he said.
Four more agencies are expected to
swell the total of would-be campers.
The two camps, in the Chopawam
sic National Parle, near Triangle,
Va., have facilities for 720 campers.
Ball Game to Help Fund.
Because the Community Chest
failed to meet its goal, The Star
has been asked to raise money for
the campe through its Summer
Camp Fund. Proceeds from the
Congressional Ball Game, to be held
Friday night at Griffith Stadium,
will go toward that fund.
Under present plans, Mr. Crawley
said. children in the 9 to 12 age
group will go to camp for two-week
periods from July 6 to August 27.
Mr. Crawley also announced that
Mrs. Ree Purcell, formerly director
of the Camp Fire Girls’ Camp, will
direct Camp Good Will this summer
The 25 agencies anxious to send
children to the two camps dis
cussed arrangements for getting the
children off to camp at a meeting
held under the auspices of the
Summer Outings Committee yes
terday.

Through the co-operation of the
Army and the National Park Serv
ice. Mr. Crawley said, considerable
work now is being done on the lakes
at both camps to make them safe
and attractive for the young camp
ers. A large ball field, he said, also
has been completed at Camp Good
Will.
Arrangements for the children to
get medical and dental examina
tions before they go to camp were
announced. Physical examinations
will start May 25 at Providence Hos
pital, the Child Welfare Clinic of
Children's Hospital and the South
west Health Center. Dental exam
inations will be given at Sumner
Clinic, Southwest Health Center
and Georgetown Health Center.

step forward and gives a concrete
program • *
Hails “Important Document.”
Mr. Stalin referred specifically to
Mr. Wallace as the "third party
presidential candidate” and called
nis proposals, with some reserva
tions. the "most Important docu
ment” concerning peace “of recent
times.”
He said the proposals did not
embrace all the points at issue, and
added that it could not be said that
certain parts "do not need to be
improved.” He did not say which.
"But that is not the most im
portant thing at the present time,”
Mr. Stalin continued.
“The main thing is that Mr. Wal
lace in his letter makes an honest
and open attempt to give a concrete
program for peaceful settlement
concrete proposals on ail the basic
questions of differences between the
U. S. S. R. and the United States.”
(These are the six objectives to
ward which Mr. Wallace, in his
"open letter” said the United States
and Russia must take “definitive,
decisive steps:”
1. “General reduction of arma
ments—outlawing all methods of
mass destruction.
2. “Stopping the export of weap
ons oy any nation to any other
nation.
3. "The reseumption of unre
stricted trade (except for goods re
lated to war) between the two coun
tries.
4. "The free movement of citizens,
students and newspapermen be
tween and within the two countries.
Scientific Information.
5. "The resumption of free ex
change of scientific information and
scientific material between the two
nations.
6. “The re-establishment of a re
invigorated UNRRA or the constitu
tion of some other United Nations
agency for the distribution of in
ternational relief.”
Among other things, Mr. Wallace
also urged: That neither the United
States nor Russia should interfere
in the internal affairs of other
nations: that both give maximum
economic help to Europe; that a
peace treaty be concluded as soon
as possible with Germany and
Japan: that both the United States
and Russia dithdraw troops from
China and Korea and not send arms
into China; that bases should not
be established in U. N. member
states nor troops nor naval forces
massed to terrorize citizens of mem
ber states.
Wallace also expressed criticism
of “excessive use of the veto” and
the atomic impasse, both of which,
he said, are “symtoms, not causes.”
Gallinger
(Continued From First Page.)
tive to get it. In the case of direct
admissions, they would be sent to
St. Elizabeths on the basis of a
cour attachment for preliminary
examination to determine if they are
of sound or unsound mind.
The bill to provide direct admis
sions to St. Elizabeths was presented
to the Commissioners at their board
meeting by Commissioner Guy Ma
i son, who strongly recommended ap
proval. His action followed “com
plete accord” among District offic
ials on this proposal to divert some
I of the patients from Gallinger’s
overcrowded, understaffed, psycho
, pathic division.
Mr. Mason said he was informed
Chairman Dworshak of the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee han
dling the District budget plans to
introduce the bill on the Senate side.
Complete Accord Reported.
“Everybody is in complete accord
on the measure,” Mr. Mason told
reporters after a session with Dis
trict health, hospital and legal of
ficials late yesterday.
The bill was urged by The Star
to relieve the overcrowding of Gal
linger’s meager facilities for mental
patients.
Health officials agreed at yester
day's meeting that one-third of the
4,500 patients now admitted annual
ly to Gallinger's psychopathic di
vision ultimately go to St. Eliza
beths.
Estimates varied on how many
patients would be affected by the
measure, but St. Elizabeths super
intendent, Dr. Winfred Overholser,
said he believes it would enable
"several hundred” patients annually
to gain direct admission to St. Eliza
beths without going through Gal-|
linger.
The bill would amend the Mental
Health Act of 1939 to permit the
court to order the detention in St. j
Elizabeths of persons believed to be
of unsound mind. The court would j
act on the basis of a petition and !
two affidavits.
Would Exclude Alcoholics.
The measure would not apply to
alcoholics and other emergency
cases picked up by police, who would
continue to go to Gallinger.
As Assistant Corporation Counsel
Ralph D. Quinter, jr., explained it
at the meeting, the bill would
“merely alter the procedure.” In
stead of putting certain patients
temporarily in Gallinger, he said,
tgey vpnld go to-et.-f!lteabeth,tem
■po*iri%. * •&'/
Dt£ Overholser, who attended the
District Building session, empha
sized the patients ultimately bound
for St. Elizabeths would find it less
upsetting to make on transfer—
from their home to St. Elizabeths—
than two transfers, from their home
to Gallinger to St. Elizabeths.
Mr. Mason explained that in other
cities, certain mental patients are
transferred from the city to the
State hospitals. In Washington, he
said, St. Elizabeths could be con
sidered in the role of State hospital.
Better Care Seen.
He emphasized that the measure
would not "destroy' ’the psycho
pathic division at Gallinger and
thus injure Gallinger’s standing as
a general hospital.
On the other hand, he said, this
measure and other improvements
now underway “will put us in line
to work with the universities.”
Neither Georgetown nor George
Washington Universities previously
has been willing to use the psycho
pathic division as a teaching center,
which would mean better care for
the patients.
Dr. Overholser, who heads the
psychiatry department at George
Washington University Medical
School, agreed that the universities
will be more willing to go into the
psychopathic division when its staff
and facilities are not so over-bur
dened by the present heavy load of
patients.
Dr. Miller sat in on the District
Building discussion. Others at
tending the conference with Mr.
Mason were Dr. Overholser, Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West.
Mr. Quinter, Health Officer George
C. Ruhland, Assistant Health Officer

present temporary absence are

enlisted men of the District of Co
lumbia will comply with the instruc
tions of this headquarters.”
Court-martial Hinted.
The order was signed by Col.
Nevitt as “commanding in the
absence of the commanding general.”
Col. Mann declined to say today
what his future course of action
would be beyond hinting at court
martial proceedings which, he said,
might have to be taken for his own
protection.
As he reads the law and regula
tions, he said, he is responsible for
command and can be courtmar
tialed himself if he fails to assume
command.
Col. Nevitt said to the best of his
knowledge, Col. Mann was the only
person in the organization who has
raised a question about the com
mand. '
He said his latest order "has the
sanction of judge advocate author
ity within our organization.”
Unusual Conditions Shown.
“We would like to emphasize,” he
added, ‘that we trust that any pre
sumed difference which may have
reached the public will not interfere
with recruiting but will develop re
cruits for our various organizations,
all of which are below their organ
ized strength.”
The squabble over who commands
the Guard in the absence of Gen.
Cox is merely another development
in a situation which has high
lighted unusual conditions within
the Guard in the past year.
Col. Nevitt has been sharply cri
ticized by three congressional com
mittees for his handling of Na
tional Guard funds.
Gen. Cox and the Commissioners
have been in a tug of war over who
controls the National Guard Ar
mory, while the National Guard’s
attitude—holding up legislation de
signed to settle the controversy over
the control of the Armory—has
brought criticism of the Guard from
businessmen anxious to use the
Armory fo rconventions.
Feud of Long Standing.
The correspondence between Col.
Mann and Col. Nevitt, it is said,
represents an additional chapter in
a long-smoldering feud between
higher officials of the Guard over
rtaining, allotment of space in the
Armory, alleged absence of the
Commanding General at armory
drills and inspections and other
matters.
Under a unique provision in
serted some years ago in the Dis
trict Appropriation Bill, Gen. Cox
receives a annual salary out of Dis
trict funds of $3,600 for being the
commanding general. He is an at
torney in civil life, active in Demo
cratic Party politics.

three places open to management
on the Rules Committee.
Mr. Cartwright was about to ap
prove the nominations when Mr.
Lewis asked for a private confer
ence with Mr. O'Neill and other
leading operators. They were in a
huddle for about five minutes.
Mr. O’Neill then asked that Mr.
Moody's name be taken off the pro
posed committee list and S. M.
Thompson of Denver be substituted.
But Mr. O'Neill added:
‘‘In the event that the Credentials
Committee report is adopted and
Mr. Moody is seated in the confer
ence, we will then put Mr. Moody
back on the committee.”
Long Battle Expected.
The contract battle shaped up as
a long and tough one. It could re
sult in a new mine walkout after
the present work contract expires
June 30. Most of the Nation's big
industries are engaged in a crack
down on labor in the matter of
new wage increases.
The negotiations opened with the
traditional “town meeting” in which
both the operators and the miners
were called on to outline their
stands. j
There has been little Indication
as to what Mr. Lewis will demand
this year in the way of contract
changes. He was expected to call
for a sizeable wage increase and an
increase in the UMW welfare and
retirement fund “take,” now 10 cents
per ton on all coal produced.
Operators have argued that the
10-cents-per-ton “royalty” will not
support the $100-monthly pensions
to the miners.
Mr. Lewis entered todays meet
ing with a commission from the
UMW's 200-man Policy Committee
to bargain for a new contract cover
ing at least 11 subjects.
The 11 issues are: Wages, hours,
practices, rules, differentials, in
equalities, compensation and occu
pational disease laws, welfare, re
tirement, health and safety, and—
“AH other pertinent matters ap
pertaining to the bituminous in
dustry.”
Defense

only to assure proper production
and equipment for the military
forces, but also because the economy
of the country is already operating
close to the limit.”
Chairman Allen of the rules group
and Mr. Andrews, as well as several
other rules committee members, en
gaged in a spirited dispute over the
merits of a proposal by Mr. Allen
that volunteers be paid bonuses up
to $1,500 for enlistments as long as
three years.
Handicap to Careers Seen.
Mr. Allen provoked the discussion
by protesting that a peacetime draft
would interfere with the careers of
young men between 18 and 38, and
that employers would hesitate to
hire men in that age bfacket.
“I can see how New Deal regi
mentation would go for military
training and copulsory peacetime
service," Mr. Allen said, “but I don’t
see how the Armed Services Com
mittee could.”
When Mr. Alien compuuneo mat
the Army “has never given volun
tary enlistments a fair ArUl,” Mr.
Andrews replied that the voluntary
enlistment record of the armed
services has been the best In any
country in peacetime, but still has
failed to keep the armed forces,
especially the Army, up to a mini
mum manpower total deemed essen
tial to national security at this
time.
Mr. Andrews quoted Gen. Brad
ley, Army chief of staff, as saying
that the Army alone needs 823,000
m^en, regardless of the size of the
air. force, and that it should have
at least 18 divisions as a “stopgap
elementary defense force now.”
Criticizing the Allen proposal for
bonus payments, Mr. Andrews dis
closed that his committee had re
ceived several suggestions of that
kind.
"Mr. Allen’s proposal is not new,”
he continued. "If we paid volun
teers, we’d be almost obligated to
pay everybody now in the armed
forces. And then later on we might
have to pay all World War II vet
erans. There’s more than meets
the eye to the apparently simple
suggestion that we try to build up
the armed forces now by encouraging
enlistment through bonus pay
ments.”
Representative Wadsworth, Re
publican, of New York, author of
the World War II selective service
law, interrupted to recall that "the
biggest scandal in the Civil War
came through the payment of
bonuses.”
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia also opposed the bonus
plan. He came out flatly for the
Andrews draft bill, but added that
“if anything, it doesn’t go far
enough.”
Cox’* Remarks rrotesvea.
Today's hearing ended with a bit
ter exchange between Mr. Cox and
several other members over the
Georgia Representative’s conten
tion that “boys down my way don’t
have to be tempted to come to the
defense of their country.” Several
other members protested that Mr.
Cox’s remarks reflected unfairly on
other sections of the country.
Mr. Andrews devoted much of his
testimony to answering charges by
five members of the Armed Services
Committee that the draft would
create international misunderstand
ing and perhaps provoke war. He
said the purpose of the bill was not
to prepare for another war, but to
strengthen the United States’ mil
itary establishment “in an unstable
world.” He said such a move would
impress “Soviet circles” and not
cause them to misjudge the United
States.
Stormy Sessions Expected.
The bill, providing for registration
of men 18 through 30, with possible
induction of those 19 through 25
for two years’ service, reportedly
stood a better-than-even chance of
getting clearance. Members, how
ever, expect several days of sessions
that mav be stormy.
While declaring he and his com
mittee will not try to block the draft
bill, Mr. Allen said he would not
“rush things” to put it before the
House.
“Nobody has been putting any
pressure on me to hurry up and get
the bill to the House floor,” he com
mented. “In fact, some House mem
bers have been suggesting that we
just sit on it for a while. You can
be sure of one thing—both sides will
get a full hearing.”
Communist Curb Bill
Nearing House Vote
■y *h« AmocIoImI Pr«u
Backers of a bill to shackle the
Communist Party in this country
drove the measure toward House
passage today.
Although a stack of amendments
may extend debate, final House ap
proval with no major change was
forecast.
Opponents told newsmen they
are pinning their hopes on the Sen
ate to defeat the measure drafted
by the Un-American Activities
Committee. The bill is known as
the Mundt bill.
Representative uougias, uemocrai,
of California, who ia lighting the
bill, admitted that not more than
35 or 40 votes will be caat againat
it in the House. But the said the
Senate “will never pass this legis
lation.”
Most talked-about amendment is
one by Representative Holifleld,
Democrat, of California. It would
simply direct the Attorney General
to make a study of and recom
mendations on legislation to halt
the spread of communism.
The bill now provides prison aen
tences for any one advocating es
tablishment in this country of a
totalitarian form of goverhment
controlled from abroad. It does not
outlaw the Communist Party, but
would require it to file periodic
financial statements and member
ship lists with Congress.
Representative Nixon, Republican,
of California, floor manager of the
measure, said he has no inclination
to curb debate on amendments, but
hopes the House can finish the bill
by nightfall.

Wallace Sees Stalin
Genuinely Interested
In Peace With U. S.
■y th» AuocntM Pr«U
OAKLAND, Calif., May 18.—Henry
A. Wallace says Prime Minister
Stalin "is genuihely interested” in
bringing about peaceful relations
with the United States.
The third party presidential can
didate based his statement on the
Russian Prime Minister’s reply to
an open letter Mr. Wallace sent him.
Mr. Stalin said Russia was ready,
if the United States is willing, to
use the Wallace letter as. the basis
for two-power negotiations designed
to end strained relations.
“I think it is particularly sig
nificant that Premier Stalin’s reply
to my open letter followed so closely
on the heels of criticism of that
open letter appearing in the Russian
press,” said Mr. Wallace in a state
ment he read last night to a meeting
in furtherance of his presidential
campaign.
He called his letter "an objective
presentation of the world crisis.”
Reply Held Significant.
He said the significance of Mr.
Stalin’s reply “lies in the fact that
the Russian government is truly
prepared to discuss issues on their
merits and is genuinely interested
in finding a way for the two great
powers to live at peace.***
“It is my hope, though not my
expectation, that the men In Wash
ington will respond to the desire of
people everywhere in the world that
a peace be made to end the costly,
dangerous, cold war.
"It is my hope that our own press
will treat my letter to Stalin ob
jectively. It is obvious that it can
serve as a basis for fruitful discus
sion and debate here at home as.
well as in International affairs.’'
Mr. Wallace’s schedule today in
cluded a noon talk at the west gate
of' the University of California
campus under sponsorship of "stu
dents for Wallace,” and talk at 10
pjn. (1 am. Wednesday, EDT> in
San Francisco huge Cow Palace.
Wants Issues Bared.
Mr. Wallace said last night that
the American people should be told
whether there is any issue between
the United States and Russia
“which can’t be settled by peaceful,
hopeful negotiations.’*
“I have said befbre that the No.
1 responsibility of this Government
is to catalog the outstanding differ
ences between the United States
and Russia to the end that the
people may know whether there is
any issue which can’t be settled by
peaceful, hopeful negotiations,” Mr.
Wallace said, “and whether there
is any issue which justifies turning,
the world into an armed camp.
“That catalog of differences would
be the agenda for a meeting, and;
whether the men who fear a meeting i
want to do it or not, the people!
have a right to that list.” 1
