Feed Children Abroad
To Prevent Embittered
Adults, Marshall Says
fty th« Associated Pross
NEW YORK, May 26 —Secretary
of State Marshall says the United
States must aid hungry children of
foreign lands to keep them from de
veloping into a generation of ‘‘em
bittered adults.”
Gen. Marshall’s plea for aid
abroad was made last night at
“Command Performance”—a bene
fit show in support of a *60,000,000
joint drive for American Overseas
Aid and the United Nations Appeal
for Children.
The joint appeal, Gen. Marshall
aald, presents "an opportunity to
invest in the world's most precious
and promising asset—its children.
It is an opportunity to influence
for the good the kind of world we
are to have in the future.”
“I am sure that there is no one
listening tonight who does not rec
ognize that children whose bodies
have been starved and warped are
likely to develop, if they survive,
into a generation of embittered
adults,” the Secretary said.
"Our national interest as well as
our humanitarian instinct demands
that we do not permit this to hap
pen. If we fail to do our part for
the nourishment and care and nor
mal development today of the chil
dren with whom our children will
have to live tomorrow, we shall have
failed in statesmanship as well as
in humanity.”
“Command Performance" was at
tended by about 20,000 persons who
jammed their way into Madison
Square Garden. Dozens of radio,
stage and screen stars, including Bill
(Bojanglesi Robinson, Marie Mc
Donald. Danny Kaye, Edgar Bergen,
Jane Wyman and the Metropolitan
Opera Chorus, took part.
Appropriations

sing the Bonneville Power Adminis
tration—an Interior Department
agency in the Pacific Northwest.
Present purchases of power for
resale, the committee said, "should
be given preference in the renewal
of contracts in order that they may
continue to supply the needs of their
customers. Also, when additional
power is available for sale, such
power should be distributed propor
tionately and equitably among pres
ent purchasers and new purchasers
of power.
"The acquisition of the properties
of a privately owned power company
serving a power-consuming area by
a public utility district through
condemnation proceedings—as has
already been consummated in one
instance in a Northwestern State—
is undemocratic in its application
and should not be condoned by the
Bonneville Power Administration by
making power available at a lower
rate, unless such proceeding is ap
proved the American way, which is
by a majority vote of the qualified
voters in the respective area.
Procedure Denounced.
"Such procedure has the ear
marks of a Soviet power policy and
will not be countenanced by this
committee, and we are entirely cer
tain that the Congress and the
American people will insist that
such a policy does not get a foot
hold in America against any pri
vate business, regardless of how
small or how' large.”
* Mr. Krug's statement on stock
piling of critical materials came as
the Secretary testified on the gen
eral operations of the far-flung de
partment.
"Frankly,” he told the commit
tee, "I will let the committee know
that military strategic stockpiles
don't exist. We have a few items
that are not important, but on the
extremely important critical ma
terials we have virtually nothing in
the stockpile.”
The cut of *84.293.244 from the
President's budget estimate of $459 -
970.835 for the department was one
of the sharpest ordered this year
for any agency. Part of the cut,
however, was offset by approval of
$29,944,290 in contract authority, for
which appropriations will be made
later
Fine Arts Funds Not Cut.
The *375,677,591 rash in the bill is
*112 876 532 more than the depart
ment. uas given for the present fiscal
year ending June 30. Extra funds
for reclamation projects, for the
Bureau of Mines, for railroad and
highway improvement in Alaska
and for the National Park Service
accounted for most of the increase,
although all these projects had been
budgeted for more.
The only departmental arm not
cut was the Fine Arts Compiission.
which got the *12.000 it asked.
The committee denied all requests
for construction funds for the
Southwestern Power Administration,
saying that any additional power;
facilities needed in that area should
be provided by "organizations in
the power business in that area.”
The committee recommended that
the department's power division be
abolished on the ground that it
duplicates work of the Federal
Power Commission.

(Ted Hartman, publicity repre
sentative for Mever Davis, said
in New York that young Davis
left for Europe several days ago
after telephoning his mother in
Philadelphia. Mr. Hartman said
the actor was Dapny Kaye's

the musical ' Inside U. S. A.” but
did not take it.

Young Davis’ Statement.
Here is the way young Davis put
his case:
"In the absence of an interna
tional government, our world, politi
cally. is now a naked anarchy. Two
global wars have shown that as long
as two or more powerful sovereign
nation states regard their own na
tional law as supreme and sufficient
to handle affairs between nations,
there can be no order on a plane
tary level. This international anar
chy is moving swiftly toward a
final war.
"I must extend the little sover
eignty I possess, as a member of the
world community, to the whole com
munity and to the international vac
uum of its government—a vacuum
into which the rest of the world
must be drawn if it would survive,
for therein lies the only alternative
to this final war.
"I should like to consider myself
a citizen of the world."
Mr. Davis said he had turned In
his passport at the United States
Embassy, which accepted it and his
renunciation of citizenship.
The actor said he expects to get
some kind of international identi
fication paper, but for the present
he has none.
Father Says Sons Action
Is 'Complete Surprise'
NEW YORK. May 26 (JP) —The
action of Gary Davis in Paris in
renouncing his American citizenship
came as "a complete surprise” to
his father, Meyer Davis.
Gary left for Europe two weeks
ago, and was with his father at
Sardi s the night before sailing, the
father said today.
"He didn't say a word to me about
going, or his intention to renounce
his citizenship." the father said.
“He might have told his mother in
strictest confidence, but so far as I
know he confided in no one.”
The father said that when Gary
returned from his war service he
was his usual fun-loving, high
spirited self.
"Two years ago he turned 100
per cent serious,” the father said.
He worked with the World Fed
eralists, an organization headed by
Cord Meyer, jr.

'
Scheduled in Plans
For Revenue Action
By Don S. Warren
A tentative schedule of action at
both ends of Capitol Hill, aimed at
solving District revenue problems,
has been adopted at last by leaders
of District congressional units.
It now is definite, leaders said,
that a District retail sales tax will
be sponsored.
Because of uncertainty as to when
Congress will decide finally on a
pay raise for Government workers,
the date of its effect will be left for
late session decision. It was made
clear today, however, a united drive
will be made for a sales tax to be
effective either next July 1. or a
year hence, depending on the pay
1 raise.
A revised measure for the 2 per
cent sales levy already has been
drafted. This is designed to make
the District act conform as closely
as possible with the Maryland law.
It is expected to be introduced in
the House early next week b^ Chair
man Bates of the Fiscal Subcommit
tee of the House District Committee.
House Unit Meeting Set.
Plans already have been made to
expedite action on the House side,
where tax legislation must originate.
Chairman Dirksen tentatively has
scheduled 'a meeting of the full
House District Committee for June
3 to consider this and any other city
measures awaiting action before the
windup of House business in this
session of Congress.
Mr. Bates today told reporters he
already .has informal clearance
from members of his Fiscal Sub
committee and that the bill will be
ready for full committee action by
June 3.
Meanwnne, me uworsnss ouu
committee of the Senate Appropria
tions Committee is scheduled to
meet at 2 pm. Friday to make final
decisions on a reduction of the
record-breaking House-passed $101,
164,900 District appropriation bill
for the year beginning July 1. Cuts
amounting to at least $1,600,000
are expected to be ordered in an
effort to balance the budget for
the 1949 fiscal year without any
new tax load—provided there is no
pay raise.
Pay Raise Deficit Estimated.
A cost-of-living pay raise for
Government workers, which would
be applied to most of the 17.000
city workers, would add from $7,
000,000 to $10,000,000 to the impend
ing District deficit.
Another means now indicated for
balancing the pending budget is a
proposed large reduction in the
amount of reserve revenues to cover
the cost of anticipated, but as yet
unknown, deficiency and supple
mental appropriations to be met in
the coming fiscal year.
Mr. Bates emphasized that the
only alternative to a sales tax to
finance operations and delayed im
provement costs in the 1950 fiscal
year would be a “very substantial
increase" in the tax rate on real
estate and tangible personal prop
erty.
He has suggested a “mild" Increase
in this rate, if needed, to balance |
the 1949 budget. But he told re-,
porters he would “not stand for
anv major rise" in the rate, in view
of the fact that property taxes were
boosted in fflii fiscal yea* by an
average of 30 per cent.

Republicans to Seek
Added Welfare Funds
At Assembly Session
By J. B. Zofmon
Star Staff Cofrwpondvn*
ANNAPOLIS, May 26—The
special session of the General As
sembly went into its second day
today amid threats by Republican
leaders of a determined fight to ob
tain more funds for public welfare.
In his speech last night, Gov.
|Lane said $500,000 is all he intends
to ask for public welfare work at
this session. At the same time, he
proposed creation of a commission
10 inquire into all phases of welfare
operations in Marylnao.
i No legislative battle is expected
| over the governors request for
$2,101,654 for 10 per cent salary in
creases to slow down the turnover
| among State employes—his princi
' pal reason for calling the special
session.
Because of the increases and other
proposed projects, he said, the State
orobably wil have little left by 1951
of its current *15,000.000 surplus.
“I am convinced," he declared,
“that the State cannot undertake
to participate (in the welfare pro
gram), as it is requested to do,
without now deciding that additional
taxes must be imposed upon the
people of the State, and that I am
unwilling to do.”
Need Put at $2,650,757.
The special session last November
voted an additional $500,000 for wel
fare and that is all the present
.session should do. he insisted. The
Department of Public Welfare has
! told the Legislative Council it needs
| *2,650,757.
In empnasmng ine neea ior
salary increases for State employes,.
Gov. Lane said:
“Thus far, for the 10 months of
this current < fiscal) year from July
1, 1947, there has been a turnover
of more than 3,800 in the 7,000
classified positions in the State gov
ernment and, based on these figures,
the employment commissioner has
estimated that, unless some steps
are taken, it will reach more than
4,600, or over 66 per cent, by the
year's end on June 30.”
Kimble to Demand Hearing.
Senator Minority Leader Robert
B. Kimble served notice he will
demand a "full public hearing” on
the welfare bill.
Meanwhile, Delegate Bernard
Carrlck, Democrat, of Baltimore,
introduced a bill which would sus
pend collection of funds under the
sales tax when receipts total *36,

Daughter of Ex-Judge Accused
Of 'Filthy' Alexandria Home
Miss Mary Nicol, 46. daughter of
a former Alexandria Circuit Court
judge, was under arrest today,
charged with maintaining an un
sanitary residence in the run-down
Nicol mansion at 316 North Wash
ington street, Alexandria.
She was arrested last night after
Alexandria police went to the house
to serve a warrant on her sister,
Mrs. Prances Nicol McKone, who,
they said, is wanted on a bad-check
charge in Arlington. Miss Nicol
was held in Alexandria Jail in lieu
of $200 bond.
Sergt. Robert Brenner and Pvt.
Robert Evans said they could not
locate Mrs. McKone. but found the
| house in such a condition that they
i called Health Inspector Keith Wade.
Mr. Wade said the house was
“filthy,” and that numerous dogs
were being kept there. He had the
warrant issued for Miss Nicol’s ar
1 rest for violation of the city’s
nuisance ordinance,
j The Nicol sisters have run afoul
of the law on previous occasions,
once for keeping dogs at the house.
They were ordered by the Alexan
dria Civil and Police Court to get
rid of most of their dogs.
Mr. Wade said there is no heat,
water or electricity in the old house,
which is under the trusteeship of
Luther Gillum, an Alexandria real
estate man. Mr. Gillum said he
was not at liberty to disclose the
owners of the property, and said he
did -not know if the Nicol sisters
were living in the house.
Maryland Court Rules
Capital Transit Must
Cut Students' Fares
The Capital Transit Co. today was
studying a Maryland court decision
handed down yesterday which holds
that the firm must comply with a
Maryland Public Service Commis
sion order for reduced fares for
school children in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
Transit firm officials said they
would have no comment until the
study is completed.
The decision was by Chief Judge
W. Conwell Smith of the Baltimore
Supreme Bench, in a case contesting
an order of the PSC.
The company had contended the
PSC exceeded its powers in order
ing the reduced fares for students.
The commission made them a con
dition for the increasing of regular
fares on the company’s bus and
trolley lines.
The Company seeks to establish
a series of zones radiating from the
'District Line and charge 5 cents
1 for each zone.
The commission said it would ap
prove this if the company would
issue five zone tickets to school
children for 15 cents.
The company refused to abide by
this decision and served notice it
would invoke the higher adult fares
without the special coupons for
students.
The commission then entered an
other order prohibiting the com
pany from doing this and it was
on a test of this order that the
case went into the State courts.

“one of the worst postmasters in
the country.”
He testified that Mr Huston was
