Yon Will Find Americans Acting Like Fascists, They Are Warned Thirty - eight Broome County men and women renounced allegiance to a dozen foreign countries late yesterday and be- came citizens of the United States. Taking an oath of allegiance to their newly adopted country in Broome County Supreme Court, they were told of the greatness of the United States and of its shortcomings. ' Justice Martin W. Deyo, be- i%M Bonuses to Get Utica Houses (Continued From Page Three) - to such a high point during the war that they were asked to find other quarters as they could afford to live in; a home other than one maintained*!or low-income families. .Thirty-eight families, did leave and, unable to find other rented apartments, bought homes of their own. In all except two of these cases . the . families relocated in Utica. Other .families, howeyer, still above the maximum income fixed for occupying the housing project, are continuing to reside in Adrean Terrace because they cannot find places into which to move. The project does not* include any garages, because it was felt that such families could not afford to own cars, but most of the fam- ilies have their cars parked in courtyards near their apartments. Another serious situation for families seeking apartments is the reluctance—^r downright refusal— of landlords to rent any flats or houses to'families with small chil- dren. Returning veterans, many of whom* are seeing their babies for the first time, are. trying desperate- ly to find homes for their families. TOMORROW—Rochester Skating Party Members of the Y. M. C. A.

Gitlitz Gives Warning The group heard James B. Gitlitz, Binghamton attorney, de- clare that America has not .yet achieved democracy as it is set forth in the Declaration of Inde- pendence. "You will." find Americans in high places talking about de- mocracy and acting like Fascists," Mr.' Gitlitz declared. "You wonder about democracy when you learn that Negroes are barred from some churches in the nation's capital and that Mexican-born war veterans, who fought for this country, are barred from membership in some American Legion posts in the Southwest," he said. "You wonder about democracy when you learn that there are hotels in Binghamton which bar national leaders of the colored people. Calls for Education "Sometimes I think we need education for the people who were horn here," Mr. Gitlitz said. Expressing hope for a "dem- ocratic peace" in the world, he said democracy cannot exist in this country unless it also exists in Siam, Java, Palestine, India and the other countries of the world. Mr. Gitlitz said he believed that new immigrants understand democracy better than native- born Americans. Mr. Gitlitz' address was the climax of ceremonies sponsored in court by the American Civicl Association, the Binghamton Civic Club and the Women's Benefit Association, Review 355. Greetings were extended in be- half of the three organizations by Mrs. Samuel Brand, president of the. Binghamton Civic Club, and in behalf by the Immigra- tion and Naturalization Service, Department t of Justice, by Max Rosenberg, examiner. Invocation was offered by the Rev.

Left to right, Mrs. Martha Bartlett, born in England; Fritz Defcch, from Germany, and Mrs. Aloisia Machlica, Czechoslovakia. U. S. NOW THEIR HOME-Mr. and Mrs. Cornells deVente of EndweJI, formerly of Holland, happily study naturalization papers. Mr. deVente, once repre- sentative; of IBM overseas, now is engineer in firm's Endicott plant. Greater Endicott Junior Cham- ber , of Commerce today proposed a vocational forum for area World War II veterans as a "practical" means of reabsorbing G. I.'s into community life. The feature of the forum would be six-minute talks by workers in various trades and independent businesses. "The object," ' Justice of the Peace Robert D. W. Landon, one of the sponsors,. declared, "would be to give returning servicemen an actual look at the pros and cons of various jobs in an effort to aid them in fitting themselves into civilian life." Discussing Plans Chamber leaders said they were discussing plans for the forum as a new departure from the "idealis- tic"_ and "theoretical" aspects of some .veterans' administrative projects being set up under the G.'I. Bill of Rights. "Not every G. I.," Mr. Landon said, "wants to go to college or set himself up as an individual businessman. Veterans, who know themselves better than anyone else can know them, often want a practical insight into practical jobs." If the plans for the forum can be worked out, it probably will be held in Union-Endicott High School with all area veterans as guests. Jobs Listed The proposal calls for speakers who will discuss wages, hours, con- ditions of employment and other practical aspects of the following jobs: Truck«. driving, baking, general re- pairing, automobile, repairing, tele- graphing, painting, carpentering, cook- ing, electrical repairing, salesmanship of various kinds, independent mer- chandising of various kinds, plastering, gardening and accounting. Chamber officials suggested that the information available to vet- erans through this means would be "invaluable" to them in decid- ing on entering any of the de- scribed occupations. Transfer of Nurses To State Jobs Would Expedite Closing Here By DOR SMITH Binghamton Press Staff Writer If nurses and attendants at the Broome County Tuber- culosis Hospital were willing to transfer to state service for employment at Hermann M. Biggs. Memorial Hospital, Ithaca, it would expedite closing the local institution* The shortage of nurses at the : : ~ state hospital near Ithaca is f -\m _ "more critical at *this time than L g ^ Q|j Ifl^tCFS T in other state hospitals,", accord- ing to Dr. Robert E. Plunkett, superintendent of state tuber- culosis hospitals. And the speed *with which ad- ditional, help becomes available will govern to a large extent the earliest date on which the state could accept patients from the local hospital in other state insti- tutions. "Unfortunately," Dr. Plunkett told this newspaper, "it is not possible at the moment to name a specific date when all the pa- tients now at the Broome County Hospital could be admitted to one or more of the state tuber- culosis hospitals, especially -the Hermann M. Biggs Hospital at Ithaca*." Salaries for Nurses Lower He stressed that "various fac- tors beyond our control contribute to this situation and probably the most significant one is that our salaries for nurses in our hos- pitals are considerably lower'than those provided by many other hospitals." "I might say," he added, "that the department (State Health De- partment) is making every pos- sible endeavor to have these sal- aries adjusted upward. Should this increase be provided, this situation may be somewhat re- lieved." Here is what he said about the possibility of transferring em- ployes at the Broom County hos- pital to state service: '"But with particular reference to Broome County, should the nurses and nursing attendants now employed at your Chenango Bridge hospital be willing to be transferred to state service and accept employment at Biggs, an arrangement may be worked out whereby the transfer of patients Lee's Share Near $11,000 As Heroes Fund Grows Harold Lee's share of The Binghamton Press Legless Heroes Fund was riearing $11,000 today' as contributions continued to come in eight days after the fund's formal closing. The total fund to date is $38,9,26.34. At least $700 in contributions were reported still uncollected today as members of the Broome County Restaurant and Hotel As- sociation continued to round up containers that had been placed in Triple Cities restaurants. The flood of nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollar bills pouring from the glass con- tainers is being sorted and counted from day to day by per- sonnel of the First National Bank and deposited in the Leg- less Heroes Fund account there. Papers are being drawn by Samuel H. Pearls, Binghamton attorney, for the establishment of trust funds for Cpl. Howard Swan of Binghamton and Alexander J. Repp of Endwell, two combat vet- erans who' lost their legs when land mines exploded in Europe. 'The Repps and the Swans are shopping for land on which' to build and furnish horned Costs f will be met out of the trust funds. The balance of the funds, which both soldiers prefer, will be' invested by the City National Bank, trustee. The third veteran, 21-year-old Mr. Lee, a coast guardsman who lost his legs as the result of a ship collision, still is in the U. S. Naval Hospital at Philadelphia. The disposition of the, total share to t)e received by Mr. Lee still is to be determined by a con- ference between.. Mr. Lee and representatives of Binghamton Press Charities, Inc. An income of $100 a month will be available to Mr. Repp and Cor- poral Swan, in addition to with- drawals to meet extraordinary de- mands for income.

"But should the county be in- terested," he said, "within, a month" or two of making appli- cation to the state health com- missioner for authority to close the institution, a study of this situation would be indicated." The doctor also emphasized that state tuberculosis hospitals "normally provide a complete pa- tient service which includes spe- cial form of treatment as well as facilities for occupational therapy and rehabilitation ..." He said this is particularly true "in the form of education in high school and commercial sub- jects, as well as in the field of technical training in X-ray and laboratory." Waits Signing By Lounsbery The final piece of legislation necessary for operation of parking meters in Binghamton awaits Mayor Walker B. Lounsbery's sig- nature: With only Sixth Ward Repub- lican Ralph F. Beam opposed, City Council last night adopted an or- dinance designating parking me- ter zones and fixing fines for over- parking and tampering with met ters. A week ago, council adopted a resolution which named the streets on which meters are to go and which instructed M. H. Rhodes, Inc., Hartford, Conn., meter man- ufacturer, to deliver multiple-coin meters to the.city. The ordinance provides a maxi- mum fine of $50 for any person convicted of willfully damaging meters and for persons who fail to pay overparking fines within two days. Fines for overparking are grad- uated upon the length of time a motorist overparks, with a person who overparks one hour in a one- hour zone fined $1, while a motbr- ist who stays four hours in a one- hour zone pays $3. The meters will go in a zone bounded by Wall Street, Carroll Street, Hawley Street and Lewis Street.

Y. 4-1992 Encouraged by the city's success with an anti-rabies program, City Council favors.a state law requir- ing the inoculation of all dogs with anti-rabic vaccine. Council, which sponsored such a program on a voluntary basis dur- ing the summer and fall, last night adopted a resolution requesting the Legislature to require inocu- lation as a condition for issuance of dog licenses. The resolution was sponsored by Fourth Ward Republican Fred Dib- ble and was adopted unanimously. "The increased prevalence of ra- bies in dogs during the past year has caysed serious loss of domes- tic animals and. a serious danger to human life," the resolution as- serted. "The inoculation of all dogs will greatly decrease the spread of this disease," it added. State Senator Floyd E. Ander- son of Port Dickinson and Assem- blymen Orlo M. Brees and Richard H. Knauf were asked to "do all in their power" to put such legisla- tion on the state statutes. During the summer and fall, the city paid for inoculation of dogs at a clinic at the meat inspection plant, 6 Sherman Place. As a result, state officials eased the dog quarantine here to permit inoculated dogs to run at large. Council also: Authorized the Board of Education to contract for bus service for West Junior High School pupils in the open market. -Designated the Marine Midland Trust Co., the City National Bank and the First National Bank as deposi- taries for city funds.

to such a high point during the war that they were asked to find other quarters as they could afford to live in; a home other than one maintained*!or low-income families.

.Thirty-eight families, did leave and, unable to find other rented apartments, bought homes of their own. In all except two of these cases . the . families relocated in Utica.

Other .families, howeyer, still above the maximum income fixed for occupying the housing project, are continuing to reside in Adrean Terrace because they cannot find places into which to move.

The project does not* include any garages, because it was felt that such families could not afford to own cars, but most of the fam­ilies have their cars parked in courtyards near their apartments.

Another serious situation for families seeking apartments is the reluctance—^r downright refusal— of landlords to rent any flats or houses to'families with small chil­dren. Returning veterans, many of whom* are seeing their babies for the first time, are. trying desperate­ly to find homes for their families.

fore whom they were naturalized, welcomed the new citizens "with great pleasure and .considerable pride" and urged them. to work to keep the United States "the greatest nation in the world."

Gitlitz Gives Warning The group heard James B.

Gitlitz, Binghamton attorney, de­clare that America has not .yet achieved democracy as it is set forth in the Declaration of Inde­pendence.

"You will." find Americans in high places talking about de­mocracy and acting like Fascists," Mr.' Gitlitz declared.

"You wonder about democracy when you learn that Negroes are barred from some churches in the nation's capital and that Mexican-born war veterans, who fought for this country, are barred from membership in some American Legion posts in the Southwest," he said.

"You wonder about democracy when you learn that there are hotels in Binghamton which bar national leaders of the colored people. •

Calls for Education "Sometimes I think we need

education for the people who were horn here," Mr. Gitlitz said.

Expressing hope for a "dem­ocratic peace" in the world, he said democracy cannot exist in this country unless it also exists in Siam, Java, Palestine, India and the other countries of the world.

Mr. Gitlitz said he believed that new immigrants understand democracy better than native-born Americans.

Mr. Gitlitz' address was the climax of ceremonies sponsored in court by the American Civicl Association, the Binghamton Civic Club and the Women's Benefit Association, Review 355.

Greetings were extended in be­half of the three organizations by Mrs. Samuel Brand, president of the. Binghamton Civic Club, and in behalf by the Immigra­tion and Naturalization Service, Department t of Justice, by Max Rosenberg, examiner.

Invocation was offered by the Rev. Burke Rivers, rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church, John­son; Gity, ',

Talks on Types of Work Would Be Aid

A NEW UNITY - -Three new American citizens, representing threernations, chat outside Broome County Supreme Court yesterday afternoon after.renouncing ties to the countries of their birth. Left to right, Mrs. Martha Bartlett, born in England; Fritz Defcch, from Germany, and Mrs. Aloisia Machlica, Czechoslovakia.

U. S. NOW THEIR HOME-Mr. and Mrs. Cornells deVente of EndweJI, formerly of Holland, happily study naturalization papers. Mr. deVente, once repre­sentative; o f IBM overseas, now is engineer in firm's Endicott plant.

Greater Endicott Junior Cham­ber , of Commerce today proposed a vocational forum for area World War II veterans as a "practical" means of reabsorbing G. I.'s into community life.

The feature of the forum would be six-minute talks by workers in various trades and independent businesses.

"The object," ' Justice of the Peace Robert D. W. Landon, one of the sponsors,. declared, "would be to give returning servicemen an actual look at the pros and cons of various jobs in an effort to aid them in fitting themselves into civilian life."

Discussing Plans Chamber leaders said they were

discussing plans for the forum as a new departure from the "idealis-tic"_ and "theoretical" aspects of some .ve te rans ' administrative projects being set up under the G.'I. Bill of Rights.

"Not every G. I.," Mr. Landon said, "wants to go to college or set himself up as an individual businessman. Veterans, who know themselves better than anyone else can know them, often want a practical insight into practical jobs."

If the plans for the forum can be worked out, it probably will be held in Union-Endicott High School with all area veterans as guests.

Jobs Listed The proposal calls for speakers

who will discuss wages, hours, con­ditions of employment and other practical aspects of the following jobs:

Truck«. driving, baking, general re­pairing, automobile, repairing, tele­graphing, painting, carpentering, cook­ing, electrical repairing, salesmanship of various kinds, independent mer­chandising of various kinds, plastering, gardening and accounting.

Chamber officials suggested that the information available to vet­erans through this means would be "invaluable" to them in decid­ing on entering any of the de­scribed occupations.

Transfer of Nurses To State Jobs Would Expedite Closing Here

By DOR SMITH Binghamton Press Staff Writer

If nurses and attendants at the Broome County Tuber­culosis Hospital were willing to transfer to state service for employment at Hermann M. Biggs. Memorial Hospital, Ithaca, it would expedite closing the local institution*

The shortage of nurses at the : : ~ state hospital near Ithaca is f -\m _ "more critical at *this time than L g ^ Q | j I f l ^ t C F S

T

in other state hospitals,", accord­ing to Dr. Robert E. Plunkett, superintendent of state tuber­culosis hospitals.

And the speed *with which ad­ditional, help becomes available will govern to a large extent the earliest date on which the state could accept patients from the local hospital in other state insti­tutions.

"Unfortunately," Dr. Plunkett told this newspaper, "it is not possible at the moment to name a specific date when all the pa­tients now at the Broome County Hospital could be admitted to one or more of the state tuber­culosis hospitals, especially -the Hermann M. Biggs Hospital at Ithaca*."

Salaries for Nurses Lower He stressed that "various fac­

tors beyond our control contribute to this situation and probably the most significant one is that our salaries for nurses in our hos­pitals are considerably lower'than those provided by many other hospitals."

"I might say," he added, "that the department (State Health De­partment) is making every pos­sible endeavor to have these sal­aries adjusted upward. Should this increase be provided, this situation may be somewhat re­lieved."

Here is what he said about the possibility of transferring em­ployes at the Broom County hos­pital to state service:

'"But with particular reference to Broome County, should the nurses and nursing attendants now employed at your Chenango Bridge hospital be willing to be transferred to state service and accept employment at Biggs, an arrangement may be worked out whereby the transfer of patients

Lee's Share Near $11,000 As Heroes Fund Grows

Harold Lee's share of The Binghamton Press Legless Heroes Fund was riearing $11,000 today' as contributions continued to come in eight days after the fund's formal closing.

The total fund to date is $38,9,26.34.

At least $700 in contributions were reported still uncollected today as members of the Broome County Restaurant and Hotel As­sociation continued to round up containers that had been placed in Triple Cities restaurants.

The flood of nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollar bills pouring from the glass con­tainers is being sorted and counted from day to day by per­sonnel of the First National Bank and deposited in the Leg­less Heroes Fund account there.

Papers are being drawn by Samuel H. Pearls, Binghamton attorney, for the establishment of trust funds for Cpl. Howard Swan of Binghamton and Alexander J. Repp of Endwell, two combat vet­erans who' lost their legs when land mines exploded in Europe.

'The Repps and the Swans are shopping for land on which' to build and furnish horned Costs f will be met out of the trust funds. The balance of the funds, which both soldiers prefer, will be' invested by the City National Bank, trustee.

The third veteran, 21-year-old Mr. Lee, a coast guardsman who lost his legs as the result of a ship collision, still is in the U. S. Naval Hospital at Philadelphia.

The disposition of the, total share to t)e received by Mr. Lee still is to be determined by a con­ference between.. Mr. Lee and representatives of Binghamton Press Charities, Inc.

An income of $100 a month will be available to Mr. Repp and Cor­poral Swan, in addition to with­drawals to meet extraordinary de­mands for income.

Church Work School Opens

Nearly 400 persons attended the first session of the Leadership Training School for church school workers and teachers last night in Sarah Jane Johnson Memorial

[Methodist Church Hall, Johnson City.

Miss Addna Sick, librarian at Union-Endicott High School, dean of the school, outlined the pro­gram and introduced members of the faculty. The school is being sponsored by the United Churches of Broome County.

The Rev. Earl V. Tolley, pastor of the host churchy' gave a. wel­coming address. Leaders in the school said today that while regis-1

tration has gone beyond expecta­tions, additional persons may register at the .Jan. 14 session, to receive credits, the school will be qualified for a

& Dr. Plunkett said he- was not familiar with the Civil Service status or number of nurses or nursing attendants at the Che­nango Bridge hospital.

"But should the county be in­terested," he said, "within, a month" or two of making appli­cation to the state health com­missioner for authority to close the institution, a study of this situation would be indicated."

The doctor also emphasized that state tuberculosis hospitals "normally provide a complete pa­tient service which includes spe­cial form of treatment as well as facilities for occupational therapy and rehabilitation . . . "

He said this is particularly true "in the form of education in high school and commercial sub­jects, as well as in the field of technical training in X-ray and laboratory."

Waits Signing By Lounsbery

The final piece of legislation necessary for operation of parking meters in Binghamton a w a i t s Mayor Walker B. Lounsbery's sig­nature:

With only Sixth Ward Repub­lican Ralph F. Beam opposed, City Council last night adopted an or­dinance designating parking me­ter zones and fixing fines for over-parking and tampering with met ters.

A week ago, council adopted a resolution which named the streets on which meters are to go and which instructed M. H. Rhodes, Inc., Hartford, Conn., meter man­ufacturer, to deliver multiple-coin meters to the.city.

The ordinance provides a maxi­mum fine of $50 for any person convicted of willfully damaging meters and for persons who fail to pay overparking fines within two days.

Fines for overparking are grad­uated upon the length of time a motorist overparks, with a person who overparks one hour in a one-hour zone fined $1, while a motbr-ist who stays four hours in a one-hour zone pays $3.

The meters will go in a zone bounded by Wall Street, Carroll Street, Hawley Street and Lewis Street. ' >

Encouraged by the city's success with an anti-rabies program, City Council favors.a state law requir­ing the inoculation of all dogs with anti-rabic vaccine.

Council, which sponsored such a program on a voluntary basis dur­ing the summer and fall, last night adopted a resolution requesting the Legislature to require inocu­lation as a condition for issuance of dog licenses.

The resolution was sponsored by Fourth Ward Republican Fred Dib­ble and was adopted unanimously.

"The increased prevalence of ra­bies in dogs during the past year has caysed serious loss of domes­tic animals and. a serious danger to human life," the resolution as­serted.

"The inoculation of all dogs will greatly decrease the spread of this disease," it added.

State Senator Floyd E. Ander­son of Port Dickinson and Assem­blymen Orlo M. Brees and Richard H. Knauf were asked to "do all in their power" to put such legisla­tion on the state statutes.

During the summer and fall, the city paid for inoculation of dogs at a clinic at the meat inspection plant, 6 Sherman Place.

As a result, state officials eased the dog quarantine here to permit inoculated dogs to run at large.

Council also: Authorized the Board of Education

to contract for bus service for West Junior High School pupils in the open market.

-Designated the M a r i n e Midland Trust Co., the City National Bank and the First National Bank as deposi­taries for city funds.

Contracted with the Broome County Humane Society to act as dog warden for the city during 1946.

Authorized collection of assessments for improvements during 1945 on Mon­tour, Merrick, Afton, Dclmar. Thomp­son and Grand Streets, and Glen Avenue.

Designated The Binghamton Press as official newspaper of the City of Binghamton for 1946-47.

Established four temporary jobs of park guards and transferred $8,000 from the Police Bureau budget for their salaries.
