Hill, Jr,, Makes Suggestion At Luncheon Session Some co-ordinating group among various bar associations of the Dis- trict which would enable them to present a united front in their posi- tion on pending legislation was urged yesterday by Francis W. Hill, Jr., president’of the Bar Association of the District. Mr. Hill spoke at the annual luncheon meeting of the junior sec- tion of the Women’s Bar Association at the Highlands on a program which included an address by Ar- thur 8. Flemming, civil service com- missioner. Contending that the exclusive franchise to practice law given to lawyers carries with it certain du- ties and obligations to the generzal public, Mr. Hill declared that among these is a duty in connection with legislation. L] It is surprising, he said, how many bills introduced in Congress affect the District of Columbia. He has a list of 58 such bills now, he said. Urges Closer Asspciation. A closer association should exist between the various bar groups in the District than there is at present, he asserted, pointing out that lack of such an association sometimes re- sults in a division of opinion and also a lack of force behind the legis- lative stands of the various groups. Mr. Flemming, who discussed various services now afforded by the Civil Service Commission, ex- pressed the hope the commission, within “a reasonable period of time,” would be able to develop a plan |ous Government agencies would be | facilitated. Employes working in certain de- partments or agencies where, for perfectly legitimate reasons, op- portunities for . promotion are | blocked, would be assisted by such | & system, he pointed out. | Such a plan would necessitate building up the civil service files, he explained, but added that the commission already is beginning to move in that direction. | Mrs. Reed Is Honor Guest. | Mrs. Helena Doocy Reed, president of the Women's Bar Association of | the District, of which the junior section is a part, was an honor guest | and spoke briefly.

They may talk |a great deal, but I hope they will put down very little and it will be simple.” Mrs. Roosevelt was the final speaker of a long list of Democratic { luminaries who had presented a | graphic cross section of the New | Deal in actual operation at the| National Capital. The speakers in- | cluded eight cabinet officers, an as- sistant secretary of a ninth depart- | ment, and many heads of indepen- dent agencies and members of Con- New. Deal Policies Praised.

The voteless plight of the District of Columbia was laid before the as- sembly by Miss Mary Winslow of this city, member of the Executive Board of the National Women's Trade Union League, who was one of four speakers preceding Mrs. Roosevelt. “I am a disfranchised citizen of the United States,” she said in opening her discussion of what la- bor expects of a political platform. “We have no power in our own government,” she declared. “Al- though we look at the processes of government with rather a jaundiced eye, we can, from a somewhat Olympian position look at the poli- cies of government, and judge and criticize.” Praises Labor Program. Miss Winslow praised the labor program of the Roosevelt adminis- tration but insisted that was not enough. “The workers want jobs—real johe —not relief, and they must be cone vinced that during the next fow years more will be done to ‘make such jobs available to them,” sne said. Responding to this and other sug- gestions for solution of unemploy- ment, Mrs. Roosevelt said, “We want to find the answer to un- employment, * * * I don't just know what it is going to be, and I think there are a great many peo- ple in other countries besides our own who would like to know what the answer is. But I am quite sure of one thing. I am quite sure that we are never going to find the answer until we all work together. It is a question again of co-opera- tion.” Dr. Emile Hickman, professor of history at New Jersey College for Women, “condemned” the German \Miss Rhode Island Wins Cup ' | At Women Democrats’ Pageant All 48 States were represented in the “historical parade” of ‘the Women’s National Democratic Club | at the organization’s spring fete of 1940 yesterday at the Shoreham Hotel. But the District of. Colum= bia, as in the case of voting priv- ileges and congressional represen- tation, did not participate. The 1,000 women attendants, in- cluding Mrs. PFranklin D. Roose- velt and wives of cabinet members, watched a group of Senators’ daughters &nd other _attractive young women appear in costumes symbolizing the history or spirit of their States. Miss Massachusetts (17 electoral votes) posed as a Puritan girl. Miss Wisconsin (12 electoral votes) came as a dairy maid. Miss Virginia (11 electoral votes) appeared as Martha Washington. Miss New York (47 electoral votes) came as a Trylon and Perisphere. Miss Montana (4 electoral votes) pranced in as a mountain goat. Mrs. Roogevelt Presents Cup. Making hasty notes as they judged the parade were Secretary of Navy Edison, Howard Chandler Christy, noted artist, and Claude Lee, mo- tion picture executive. Following their decision, Mrs. Roosevelt pre- sented a tall silver cup, for beauty of costume, to Miss Rhode Island. Rhode Island’s envoy in the parade was black-haired Miss Esther Devine, now a secretary with the Federal Housing Administration. organdie dress, hoop-skirted and be- ribboned. In her hair she wore her State flowers, violets. | The sole State not entering a beauty in her teens or early 20s was Colorado. It won a silver cup | for the “mpst representative” entry with its ‘covered wagon act. Stars | in this were four youngsters garbed as pioneers—Laurel Jean Brown, 8; Harriette Kurtz, 9; John Allan Moore, 10, and Richard Brown, 6. Richard carried a rifie which he told reporters had been used by his great-grandmother in “killing 17 Indians.” Laurel Jean told Mrs. Roosevelt that the two wooden oxen hitched % to the 'covered wagon were named “Dewey” and “Vam” (for Vanden- berg) because “they are so slow.” The parade was followed by a fashion show to demonstrate what the well-dressed Democratic lady will wear to the Chicago National Convention. On the program as members of the receiving line were Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. John Nance Garner, Mrs. Cor- dell Hull, Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr.; Mrs. Harry Woodring, Mrs. Rob- ert Jackson, Mrs. James A. Farley, Mrs. Charles Edison, Mrs. Harold Ickes, Mrs. Henry Wallace, Miss Frances Perkins, Mrs. Sumner Welles and Mrs. Louis A. Johnson. After the fete Mrs. Paul V. McNutt presided at the tea table. Peter Merylo, Cleveland ‘detective who has been seeking the “Butcher” for years, said, “This is the first time we have found any footprints at the scene of one of these crimes.” Last fall the body of a man be- lieved to have been a victim of the Kingsbury Run slayer was found in eerle “Murder Swamp,” near New Castle, Pa, about 70 miles from Pittsburgh and 15 miles from Youngstown, Ohio. Youngstown Is Focal Point. Coincidentally, the tracks of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie skirt the Kingsbury Run district in Cleve- land, and link Youngstown, New Castle and Pittsburgh. It is in these communities that the victims of the “Butcher” have been found. Coroner P. J. Henney estimated the latest victims had been dead for three months. The manhunt was expected to center around Youngstown, where the - boxcars stood idle for 15 months before being moved to the railroad yard near here, where they were to be junked. An investigator said one of the three men might have been be- headed with a thin surgical®saw. He said a cut on the victim’s neck resembled the mark of a gigli saw. Such a saw, used extensively several years ago in delicate brain surgery, was believed used to behead the young man found in “Murder Swamp.” Miss Gloria McGehee, daughter of Repre- sentative McGehee of Mississippi, was a figure in the pageant. —Underwood and Underwood and Star Staff Photos. YOUNG DEMOCRATS CONFER—Taking part in the Matiorial Institute of Government, these leaders of the Young Democratic Clubs of America seem optimistic of political victory at their buffet luncheon yesterday. Left to right: Miss Ruth Clark, Marion, Ohio, delegate; Miss Marcella Langdon, Newton, Ill, national committeewoman of the Young Democratic Clubs of Illinois, and Mrs. Verda W. Barnes, Idaho Falls, Idaho, vice president of the Young Democratic Clubs of Amer- ica, who presided at the luncheon and spoke last night at the closing institute session on behalf of youth. —Star Staff Photo. and Japanese “foreign policies,” and declared “we ardently desire a peaceful and prosperous world,” and “expressed the hope for co-operation to improve world trade and “build international law and order.” Calls for Health Program. Miss Josephine Roche, chairman of the Interdepartmental Committee to co-ordinate health and welfare activities of the Government, drew applause for her decommendation for enactment of the “too long de- layed national health program.” She called for a Democratic com- mitment “to end unemployment,” to extend Social Security benefits, to continue the “rights for labor,” and “an unequivocal commitment that this Nation be kept at peace.” Presiding at the night session were Mrs. Thomas F. McAllister, head of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee, which sponsored the institute, and Mrs. May Thompson Evans, vice chairman of the division. A program for the Young Demo- cratic Clubs was discussed at the Raleigh Hotel following luncheon, where Mrs. Verda Barnes of Idaho Falls, Idaho, presided, and Miss Eleanor Schneider, national commit- teewoman of the Young Democratic Clubs of the District of Columbia, was general chairman in charge of the luncheon. The Democratic women, who are in Washington preparing for par- ticipation in the election campaign, appeared more interested yesterday afternoon in learning how to make a campaign speech than in learn- ing what to say for the New Deal once they mount a platform. A class in campaign spedking at the Washington Hotel drew a much larger attendance than did two forums addressed by such admin- WE HAVE BEEN MAKING CAMERA REPAIRS for 20 yeers Huller &(\Nh crt 615 10th Street X W, TR, istration figures as Secretary of La- bor Francis Perkins, Representative Norton of New Jersey and Charles Fahy, general counsel of the Na- tional Labor Relations Board. Instructors at Session. The crowd that filled the sun parlor at the Washington Hotel heard discussions and illustrations of effective platform speaking. The instructors included Mrs. Elizabeth von Hesse, who gave Mrs. Roosevelt lessons in platform speaking; Mrs. Hugh Butler, who conducts a class in platform speaking attended by many congressional wives, and Mrs. Helen M. Moodie. Mrs. May Thomp- son Evans presided. Speaking at the Departmental Auditorium, Secretary Perkins out- lined the labor policies of the New Deal from the early days of the N. R. A. to the present time, Early in the Roosevelt adminis- tration, Miss Perkins said, it be- came apparent that the depression was resulting in lower wages and longer hours of work with a con- sequent increase in layoffs. Some responsible agency had to put a stop to this, she said, and the out- come was the N. R. A. Out of the N. R. A, wrecked by an adverse court decision, grew the determination to accomplish some of its aims by law. It was realized at that time, the Secre- tary said, that the Federal Gov- ernment itself was contributing to lower wages and hours through its | system of purchasing from the low- | est bidder, thus offering a premium | to employers who paid labor least.; Soon this and worked it longest. was remedied by the wage and hour standards. “So we moved on,” she continued, “to one of the greatest accomplish- ments this administration will be credited with—the Social Security program.” Accomplishments for Youth. ' Speaking of what the administra- tion has done for the youth of the country, Miss Perkins said that in the early days of the New Deal the already depressed labor market was flooded by young, peop:e, some no more than children, looking for Jobs because their parents were out of work. g The Youth Administration and the C. C. C. have done much to alleviate the situation, she said, and it is the policy of the administration to discourage the employment of EXTRAORDINARY OFFER!

Miss ,Perkins declared that the Nationsl’ Labor Relations Act, zo0 often under fire, was the unavoid- able result of active and determined opposition on the part of many big employers against dealing with unions as collective bargaining agencies. - Representative ODay of New York, who presided at the forum, declared at conclusion of the Secre- tary’s speech that “many of us who have heard the bitter debates in Congress in recent weeks wish Miss Ferkins could go on the floor of the House and explain the program as she has today.” Atbrey Williams, administrator of the National Youth Administra- tion, addressed the women delegates on “How the ' Administration Is Meeting the Problems of Youth.” He declared “what is happening to the young people becomes more and more a matter of public concern.” He said that there is no question but that the generations who have s A3 years have encountered much greater difficulties in adjusting themselves economically. Urges Roosevelt Support. Representative Norton, the “Wage and Hour lm% told e:er fellow Demoocrats she ap- pear: “after a and udlmm C«mxreumf cussing the very subject you have assigned me on your program.” Mrs. Norton expressed the conviction that the assembly of women will be use- ful to the Democrats in the coming campaign, She said sne hoped they would be able to work for the re- election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. At a second forum in the Com- merce Department Mr. Fahy ex- plained the National Labor Rela- tions Act to the delegates. Mr. Fahy said that much of the criticism of the act is directed at the method of procedure of the board, although this procedure was modeled after that of the Federal Trades Commission Act adopted in the first Wilsor: administration and come of age in the last 15 or 20 since upheld by the Supreme Court.
