O’Neil Says Congress
Negligent on Security
James O'Neil, national commander
of the American Legion, last night;
criticized' Congress for being “inex- j
cusably negligent in advancing a1
program" for national military;
preparation.
Mr. O'Neil spoke at ceremonies
marking the birthday of the late
Gen. Lesley J. McNair at the old
Army War College, which has been
renamed in his honor.
"The present Congress has com
pletely lost sight of the people’s
mandate on national security,” Mr.
O’Neil pointed out in referring to
its failure to enact universal mili
tary training.
"I sav to vou that the struggle!
for survival is still raging,” he j
added. ‘‘The challenge to the!
American people which Gen. Mc
Nair recognized and pronounced so:
fearlessly, is as- real now as it was j
five and one-half years ago. All of j
us realize that what we have in the j
world tonight is not peace but an |
armistice masquerading as peace." j
Secretary of State Marshall, who
was scheduled to serve as honorary
chairman of the ceremonies, sent -
a message expressing his inability to
attend. In his note, he added that
Gen. McNair rendered a "great and
vital service" in the winning of the
war. and that Col. Douglas McNair,
the general’s son, also made a great
contribution towards winning the
conflict in the Western Pacific.
Commissioner Watson B. Miller
of the Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service presided and intro
duced the speakers. The exercises
were sponsored by the Lesley Mc
Nair Post, American Legion, with
W. W. Naramore acting as program
chairman.

Miss Clara Edmunds Loses Fight
To Save Information Library
Miss Clara M. Edmunds works on in the Government In
formation Service Library which the Government has decided
to scrap. —Star Staff Photo*
By Crosby Noyes
Miss Clara M. Edmunds, who can
ell you just about anything you
want to know about the Federal
jovernme'nt, is stumped.
The question she asks herself and
;an’t answer is why the Government
nas decided to scrap the institution
;o which she has devoted herself for
;he last 15 years—the Government
information Service Library, located
it Fourteenth street and Pennsyl
vania avenue N.W.
Seated at her desk the other day,
glaring through her spectacles at
:he formal announcement from the
director of the Budget Bureau, some
nf the reasons were clear enough.
“In view of the fact that no funds
Pave been appropriated for the fiscal
^ear beginning July 1, 1948, you are
advised that the library services
’ * * are hereby discontinued as-of
the date of this memorandum."
"And that,” said Miss Edmunds,
is that. This library will become
i part of the Senate Library, and.
Df course, that will end its useful
ness so far as the public is con
:erned. I can’t help saying I don’t
see the point.
.sa.uiiu iteierence norns.
Back in 1934, Miss Edmunds
darted her Government Information
Service Library with one filing cab
net. Today it contains some 35,000
eference books and pamplilets per
taining to the working of the Gov
:rnment and has been described as
'the most unique reference library
,n the Nation."
During the war, the library be
:ame a part of a greatly expanded
United States Information Service,!
which answered the questions of
;onfused newcomers to the wartime |
Capital, seeking to do business with ,
^.rapidly expanding and hopelaikiy;
implicated Government. A Staff
Df some 153 trained experts supplied
:ht answers in the service’s "Tem-!
ale of Information,” built at the
arder of President Roosevelt at the
aost of $600,000. Today, the build
ing is occupied largely by various
veterans’ services, with only Miss
Edmunds, her library, and a staff
tU three assistants to'carry on the
work of the . wartime} organization.
According to testimony given re
cently before the House Appropria
tions Committee by H. P. Caem
merer, secretary of the Commission
of Pine Arts, the building will be
the first of the war-temporary build
ings to be razed. Mr. Caemmerer
said he hoped the Information
Center as well as other Government
temporary buildings could be re
moved before Washington's sesqui
centennial celebration in 1950.
Against a general tendency toward
-eductions of Government expendi
tures, Miss Edmunds had fought a
osing battle to k,eep her library
going.
’’And I put up a pretty good fight,
too,” she declared.
Senators, Representatives and any
me else who could influence the
government's course with the li
arary were reminded that "for 15
/ears it had been constantly used
ay Congressmen, Government ofll
:ials, writers, historians and re

$18,000 Needed.
If her library was broken up be-1
cause Congress refused to appropri-;
ate the $18,000 needed to continue |
it for another year. Miss Edmunds |
told the legislators that an inval
uable collection, gathered at prac
tically no expense to the Govern
ment, would be lost.
A harassed secretary from the
Veterans’ Administration approach
ed Miss Edmunds during the inter
view.
"Excuse me,” said the girl, "do
you have any idea how I could find
out how many men from the Dis
trict were irfducted through Selec
tive Service in World War II? I’ve
been trying to find out for two
hours'and I’ve gotten nowhere. It’s
important.”
"Call the record department of
Selective Service, Republic 5500,’’
said Miss Edmunds. "If they can’t
tell you, come back and see me.”
"I could have told her what she
wanted to know,” said Miss Ed
munds when the girl had gone. "But
it looks as though she is going to
have to find things out for herself
from now on.”

Philippine Fighting Flares
As Huk Chief Bars Amnesty
By the Associated Press
MANILA, May 27.—Fighting be
tween the constabulary and the out-1
lawed Hukbalahaps broke out again j
today—the first clashes since the j
recent, unsuccessful surrender nego
tiafions.
Constabulary -headquarters said j
the fighting occurred within the past
24 hours in the Cagayan Valley in
Northern Luzon, Nueva Ecija prov
ince in Central Luzon and in Batan
gas province, south of Manila.
Negotiations for amnesty for the
furtive peasant army—contingent on
the surrender of the Huk’i Com*
munist leader, Luis Taruc—ended
abrupt when Taruc rejected the
governments offers in a letter to
the Associated Press Monday. He
proposed an "armed truce” instead.
The government had no official
comment on Taruc's letter. The
amnesty offer expired May 20, with
adjournment of the Philippine Con
gress. Taruc subsequently was re
ported seriously ill—of blood poison
ing from an abcessed tooth.
