Truman Says He Aims
At End of Segregation
In Services Eventually
President Truman has given his
civil rights foes something else to
wrangle about with the firm declar
ation that he is aimii^ at the event
ual end of segregation in the armed
forces.
The President took that stand at
a new conference late yesterday
when asked if this was the goal of
the “equality of treatment and
opportunity” order he issued a few
days ago.
Negroes now are kept in separate
units in the Army, and some of their
leaders have been urging a cam
paign of civil disobedience in re
taliations.
Bradley Statement Denied.
On Tuesday Gen. Bradley, Army
Chief of Staff, was quoted as say
ing he favors segregation in the
lower echelons—at the company
level—and Mr. Truman was asked
if this was “consistent” with his
equality order.
Mr. Truman responded that Sec
retary of the Army Royall had in
formed him that Gen. Bradley had
made no such statement.
Then asked if the abolition of
segregation was intended eventually,
Mr. Truman said that was the idea.
"The Associated Press reported
from Fort Knox that Gen. Bradley
said “the Army is not out to make
any social reforms. The Army will
put men of different races in dif
fident companies. It will change
that policy when the Nation as a
whole changes "it.”
Will Name Group Map Program.
In issuing his equality order, Mr.
Truman said he would appoint a
committee to shape up a program
which could be carried out with "due
regard, to the time required to ef
fectuate any necessary changes
without impairing efficiency or mo
rale.”
Neither Gen. Bradley nor the
Army Department had any comment
on the President's statement.
Justice Simpson to Survey
Dachau War Crime Trials
Justice Gordon Simpson of the
Texas Supreme Court was enroute
to Germany today to make a gen-;
eral survey of the entire Dachau
war crimes program.
Army Secretary Royaii announced
yesterday he had appointed Justice!
Simpson to make the survey ‘‘as a
result of an exchange of views" with
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the Army
commander in Germany. Justice j
Simpson will be accompanied by i
Judge Edward Van Roden of Dela- j
ware County, Pa.
‘‘A number of petitions have been j
filed with the United States Su- j
preme Court by persons who havej
been convicted at Dachau of war |
crimes, asking leave to file peti
tions for an original writ of habeas
corpus.” Mr. Royall said. ‘‘These
petitions contain allegations of ir
regularities and improprieties in the
conduct of the war crimes program
at Dachau, especially with respect to
the methods used by investigators
in preparing the case for trial.”
The Supreme Court, by split de
cisions, denied leave to file the peti
tion for the writ of habeas corpus
on the ground the court was without
jurisdiction. Mr. Royall ordered a
stay of execution in all cases in
volving the death penalty and di
rected investigation in all cases of
the specific allegations be made.|
Justice Simpson will conduct that
Investigation.
Cigarette Prices to Rise
1c a Pack at Retail Here
Washington stores will raise the
price of cigarettes a penny a pack
starting next week, local retailers
said today.
Although the price increase may
become effective earlier in some
stores, the major drug and cigar
store chains said they would sell at
the old price until Monday or Tues-1
• day.
The retailers’ action followed an
announcement yesterday that most
major tobacco manufacturers had
raised their wholesale prices 40
cents a thousand.
The change will affect most of
the so-called “popular” brands with
the possible exception of Chester
fields. The Liggett & Myers To
bacco Co., which makes Chester
fields, has not yet announced
whether it will follow suit.
Brothers, 8 and 13, Seized;
Admit 10 Burglaries
A series of 10 burglaries In the,
past six weeks has been cleared up
with the arrest of two brothers, one
only 8 years old and the other 13,
police said today.
Caught slipping through the sky
light of an Anacostia market, the
boys admitted breaking into the
Benning Post Office, Benning |
School, a cleaning shop, sports store
and other places. J
Police said the boys made two
trips to the sports shop. The first
time they took two revolvers, then
returned to obtain bullets. When
the bullets proved to be the wrong
caliber, they sold the guns for $1
apiece.
The brothers were released to the
custody of their parents.j

Death Rate in Traffic
In 5 Months of 1948
Lowest in History
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, July 30.—The Nation
set the lowest traffic death rate in
history during the first five months
of 1948.
The National Safety Council re
ported today that despite increased
travel, drivers and pedestrians came
through the first six months of the
year with 560 fewer traffic deaths
than in the same period last year.
This was a 4 per cent decrease.
The improvement in fatality rates
Was achieved despite an 8 per cent
increase in mileage. This gave the
Nation a five-month traffic rate of
7.2 death for each hundred million
miles traveled—the lowest mileage
death rate ever recorded in America.
The previous low was a rate of 8.2
in the first five months of 1947.
13,690 Persons Killed.
Even with the record low in traf
fic deaths, 13.690 persons were killed
for use of the highways during the
first half of the year the council
pointed out.
• The traffic deaths in the Dis
trict for the first six months of
this year showed a slight in
crease, the Accident Investigation
Unit of the Police Department
said today. For the first six
months of 1947, there were 34
deaths due to traffic accidents
here, while this year there were
38. However, from January 1
to date there has befen a decrease
over last year. There were 40
traffic deaths so far this year,
while for the same period in
1947 there were 47 deaths.)
There will be 1,300 fewer traffic
deaths in 1948 than in 1947 if the
4 per cent drop in traffic deaths
continues throughout the year, the
council said. There were 32,300
traffic deaths in 1947.
2,420 in June Alone.
Traffic deaths totaled 2,420 in
June alone—the same as last year.
This W'as better than May, when
tl\e toll went up 3 per cent over last
year. But not as good as the first
four months of the year, when
there were decreases of from 3 to
13 per cent from 1947.
For June, the North Atlantic
States had 11 per cent fewer deaths
than in June, 1947. The Pacific
States had a reduction of 17 per
cent. These favorable records were
offset by increases of 5 to 18 per
cent in other regions.
Sizable variations in death trends
also are shown by the six-month
totals. North Atlantic and Pacific
States had substantial decreases—
8 and 12 per cent, respectively.
South Atlantic States had 9 per
cent fewed deaths, despite an 18
per cent increase in June. North
Central and South Central States
had about the same record for both
years. Mountain States recorded a
4 per cent increase.
Report By States.
States reporting fewer deaths in
the six months of 1948 than in 1947
and the percentage decline were:
North Dakota. 46; Rhode Island,
43: New Hampshire, 36: Massachu
setts and Nebraska. 27: North Caro
lina and Mississippi, 19; Tennessee,
18; Montana. 15; California, Wash

mont, 9; Maryland. Connecticut and
South Dakota. 8; Oregon and South
Carolina, 7: Pennsylvania, 6; New
Yofk and Florida, 3, and Michigan
and Utah. 1.
Two hundred eighty-five Ameri
can cities reported no traffic deaths
for June. Largest of these was
Providence, R. I.; second was Rich
mond, Va., and third largest was
Norfolk, Va. For the six-month
period, 121 cities reported no deaths.
The three largest, with a population
ranging from 70,000 to 85.000 were
Lawrence. Quincy and Newton—all
of Massachusetts.

G/s Hailed as Heroes for Work
In Fighting Farben Blast Fires
By th» Associated Press
MANNHEIM, Germany, July 30.—
Postponed on account of fatigue!
! That's what happened to a base
ball game scheduled for last night
by American soldiers in this Rhine
River city. The soldiers had worked
24 hours straight in helping to save
lives at the scene of the I. G. Far
ben plant explosion in Ludwigs
hafen across the river.
The soldiers were tired and dirty.
.Their fatigue uniforms were spat
tered with blood and discolored by
red and black dyes which the Far
ben plant manufactured before
Wednesday's blast. They simply
tumbled into their bunks when they
1 returned to their base at the Mann
heim Ordnance Depot.
“Play baseball?" asked T/4 Wil
[liam H. Clack of Loganville, Ga.
"Don’t say a thing about baseball.
I’m going to play with a pillow."
Lt. Col. Walter F. Partan of Nash
ville, Tenn., asked for volunteers
soon after the explosion occurred.
“All 300 men here volunteered,"
Col. Partan said. “We took about
! 75 per cent and left the rest on
security duty."
He singled out for special praise
Capt. Robert M. Brackett of Port
, land, Me., who led fire fighting
units in battling three major fires
and several smaller ones on the
sprawling Farben grounds.
Tales of heroism abounded.
Col. Partain. who was in charge
of American fire fighters, praised
Sergt. Howard McKee of Murphees
boro, Tex. McKee -ran a bulldozer
through smoke and fumes to the
danger area where eight tank cars
containing highly volatile chemicals
had been knocked from a track.
McKee, who had been at his bull
dozer 20 hours without sle^), told of
seeing bodies strewn about the plant
“like popcorn.” Some hung from
windows.
Capt. Dumic, who accompanied
McKee on the bulldozer exploit,
said the scene defied description.
“Some people were alive in the
wreckage when we reached them,”
he said. "We would remove the
wreckage and just as we would get
to them, some would die. Others
we were able to get out alive. Every
body saved a couple of lives. Every
body just pitched in.”
Two chaplains worked all night,
ignoring the risks, to administer to
the dying. They were Capt. George
A. Lollis, Roanoke, Va., a Protestant,
and Capt. William K. Graw, Wake
field, Mass., a Catholic.
Women Keeping Vigil
As Rescuers Dig Info
Ruins of Farben Plant
By the Associated Press
LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, July
30.—Weeping German women waited
today as working parties dug into
the I. G. Farben chemical plant
wreckage for bodies of men missing
since Wednesday's disastrous explo
sion.
The latest official French and
German count of casualties in Eu
rope's biggest postwar catastrophe
showed: 138 known dead, 200-250
missing and possibly dead, more than
2,300 injured.
American chaplains worked
throughout the night administering
to the dying. The chaplains and
German clergymen planned a me
morial service today in Mannheim
for the victims of the explosion.
Into the early hours this morning
French and German rescue workers
dug into the twisted mass of wreck
age. They pulled out arms and
legs and hideous cinders of men
trapped by the blast that destroyed
16 buildings of Germany’s biggest
chemical plant.
Outside Ludwigshafen s tiny, over
crowded morgue, weeping German
women waited for more bodies to be
carted in.
American troops who had risked
their lives in rescue and fire-fight
ing work had returned to their zone.
The blood-stained Americans with
drew when French soldiers said
their “gallant services” no longer
were needed.
The rescue efforts of American
soldiers won praise from Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, the American mili
tary commander. He said:
“American troops did a good job.
I would have been surprised if they
hadn’t.”
Praise came from the Germans,
too. One German official said the
Americans “saved 1,000 lives.”
Before pulling out, the American
troops ploughed a path to a death
trap building. A German policeman '
said scores of bodies could be seen |
floating in several feet of water and
ammonia in the basement.

Admiral Clark's Ex-Wife
Improves After Collapse
Mrs. Mary Catherine Clark, for
mer wife of Rear Admiral Joseph P.
(Jocko) Clark, was reported in good
condition today at Gallinger Hospi
tal where she was taken yesterday
after collapsing in the lobby of the
Roosevelt Hotel.
Police said Mrs. Clark, who lives
at 1841 Columbia road N.W., was
standing at the desk about 6:15
a.m. when she slumped over. Robert
Learmouth, night manager, said a
man telephoned him shortly there
after that Mrs. Clark had taken
sleeping pills, police reported.
Admiral Clark, deputy chief of
naval operations for air, lives at
the hotel with his second wife and
two daughters by his first marriage,
Mary Lou, 13, and Carol, 12. He was
divorced from his first wife in 1941.
Admiral Clark said he had just
returned from a tour of duty in
New Mexico and was not aware his
former wife was in the hotel before
receiving news of her illness.

Maj. Gen. Johnson
To Take Command
Of R-29s in Britain
The turrent “training visit” of
the 60 B-29 Superfortresses to Great
Britain took on added importance
today with the announcement that
a major general will be sent over
to command the units.
The Air Force said Maj. Gen.
Leon W. Johnson, commander of
the 15th Air Force, would leave from
his Colorado Springs (Colo.) head
quarters this week end to assume
command of the force.
When the two wings of big bomb
ers left the United States two weeks
ago the highest ranking officer was
a colonel.
Gen. Johnson will be under the
over-all command of Lt. Gen. Cur
tis E. Le May, Air Force com
mander in Europe.
Served With 8th Air Force.
He served with the 8th Air Force
in England when its thousands of
bombers were sweeping over Ger
many and Nazi-conquered coun
tries. Of his 22 years in military
service since he graduated from
West Point. 18 have been with the
air arm. He is a Medal of Honor
winner.
The announcement of Gen. John
son’s assignment followed the cau
tipus pattern of previous announce
ments regarding the departure of
planes for Britain and Europe—he
is going to take command of Super
Fortresses "in England on a train
ing mission.”
Bui now long tnose DomDers are
to stay or just what “training” mis
sions they will undertake has not
been stated. A British Air Ministry
spokesman recently announced that
they would go to Germany after
two or three weeks in Britain, and
Air Force headquarters at the Pent
agon stated that the planes were
under the operational control of
Gen. Le May.
Planes Called “Air Division.”
Gen. Le May already has char
acterized the planes as an “air divi
! sion”—a unit designation widely
used in the last war. The Air
; Force defines an air division as
two or more wings. A wing is the
operating formation of one or more
groups of aircraft, with its own
maintenance and service organiza
tions. Customarily, a major general
commands an air division.
The two wings in England now are
based on three Royal Air Force
fields—Scampton, Waddington and
Marham. It was from this area
that the Eighth Air Force launched
its attacks against the Germans
during the war.
In addition to the B-29s in Eng
land, another wing of, the big bomb
ers now is in Germany directly
under Gen. Le May.

Defense Secretary Forrestal an
nounced today the functions of the

with the unification act passed by
Congress last year. The board has
been responsible for investigating,
studying and reporting on all ques
tions affecting jointly the develop
ment of Army and Navy aviation.

MacArthur to Continue
Active Duty in Tokyo
Gen. Douglas MacArthur appar
ently intends to stay on his job in
Tokyo.
The Military Governor of Japan
has applied for and been approved
for continued active duty as a five
star general of the Army, the de
partment disclosed.

ing five-star rank, which provides
that generals and admirals of that
rank, who previously had retired,
would revert to inactive status, un
less they applied for continued ac
tive duty and the application was
approved by the President.
Gen. MacArthur, who is 68, re

A Department spokesman said
j his application for continued active
; duty was received recently.
Autopsy Set for Man
Who Died in Hospital
Deputy Coroner Richard Rosen

Hospital yesterday.
The body, Dr. Rosenberg said,
showed a bruise over the left eye
and scratches on the knee. Police
said Glasco’s injuries might have
been caused by a fall.
Glasco, according to police, called
a friend, to his room in the Roose
velt Hotel Wednesday and said he
was feeling badly. The friend had
him taken to the Kalorama Con
valescent Home in a private ambu
lance. A short time later, he was

Deny Refugee Act Is
Unfair fo Catholics
By th« Associated Press
The author of the recently en
acted displaced persons bill and a
i leading Catholic member of the
! House have denied contentions that
!the law discriminates against Cath
olics.
Representative Fellows, Repub
lican, of Maine, who helped draft
the bill and handled it during de
bate, told the House yesterday that
Catholic experts are not in agree
ment with claims that the measure
discriminates against members of
their faith.
Monsignor Quoted.
Representative Lesinski, Democrat,
of Michigan, a Catholic who sup
ported the legislation, concurred in
Mr. Fellows’ remarks and said the
law “does not discriminate against
!any religious groups.”
Mr. Fellows cited a recent state
ment by Msgr. Edward E. Swan
| strom, chairman of the National
Catholic Resettlement Council, to
support his claim.
Msgr. Swanstrom said in Buffalo
July 14 that the council members
agreed the DP law as it stands "is
not discriminatory as far as Cath
olics are concerned.” He said “at
least 55 per cent of the persons to
jbe admitted (under the law* are

Second Rail Official Quits
In New Haven Transfer
By tha Associated Prats
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 30.—
Robert L. Pearson has resigned as
a vice president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad.
Mr. Pearson was the second top
official of the line to announce he
was stepping out since the present
directors of the company lost stock
control.
There was no indication in a rail
road announcement of his resigna
tion, however, that it was in any
way connected with the impending
change in the controlling ownership.
On the contrary. President How
ard S. Palmer said last night that
Mr. Pearson was leaving "on account
of ill health."
Mr. Palmer himself announced
recently that he will ask for re
tirement August 12, the day of the
stockholders’ meeting at which a
group headed by Frederic C. Du
maine, 82-year-old Boston financier,
is scheduled to take control.
