D. {. RENT BILL
PASSAGE
CERTAIN
Support Switches to
Mrs. Norton After
BIanton's Delay

Filibustering and other dilatory
tactics employed by Representa-
tive Tom Blanton CD of Texas
during consideration Of the District
rent control bill has proved a
boomerang to the Texan. The
measure now has the solid sup
port Of the House leadership and
its passage is virtually assured the
next time it is called up.
Yesterdays demonstration, eli
NAKED by an enthusiastic House
reception Of the severe attack lev
eled against Blanton by Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD Of
New Jersey, chairman Of the
House District Committee, was one
of the most thorough whippings
the Texan has taken in the House.
Mrs. Norton Cheered
Republicans and Democrats,
tired Of the intermittent quorum
calls caused by the Texas member
in his attempt to defeat the bill.
Joined almost to a man in support
of Mrs. Norton and the District
Committee, although previously
only q few had taken any real In
terest in the rent measure. They
now are united in a determined
action to demonstrate to Blanton
that he cannot toy with House
time, according to expressions OF
members.
The reaction of the House was
displayed yesterday when, after
Blanton had forced five quorum
calls leach taking about 80 min
utes) Mrs. Norton took the floor
to denOunce him for his actions.
The entire House membership ap-
plauded lengthily, some even shout
ing their approval. When she had
concluded, another demonstration
Of commendation occurred.
Mrs. Norton explained that she
believed B1anton's actions were in
a spirit of personal attack upon
her, and she backed this up by
reading to the House an exchange
of correspondence between herself
and the Texas member, asserting
that his was an "intimidating"
letter.
Service Criticized
He criticized her entire service
in the House, especially her so
licitous interest in matters per-
tanning to the District, and veiled
q threat that he would come into
her district in New Jersey and at
tempt to defeat her in Congress.
In her reply, Mrs. Norton
pointed out that most Of the Dis
trict legislation she has supported
has had the backing of the Pres
ident, and that the Texan, there
fore, was leveling his criticism at
the Chief Executive.
She suggested that Blanton, by
reducing the Federal contribution
to the District by three million
dollars saved your constituents
and mine about two cents piece" !"
Answering his charge she had
never offered any constructive
bills, Mrs. Norton replied:
81 would be glad to match my
list sgainst yours. I do not
seem to recall many cOnstruc-
tive BlantOn acts although
you have been in Congress
much longer than I have"

TAKES THRUST
AT BLANT0N
IN ADDITION
Tells City Heads They
Must Fight for
Funds for Needs

Senator Elmer Thomas CD Of
Oklahom today verbally
spanked" the District Commits
sioners and representative
Thomas L. Blanton CD Of Texas.
Senator Thomas, chairman Of
the Senate District Appropria-
tions subcommittee, talked to
Commissioner Melvin Hazen about
the charge made by the Budget
Bureau that it was the Commits
sioners' fault that the District
was allowed no more money for
its needs. Later he wrote q let
ter to Representative Blanton ana
told him he couldn't make .
statement before the subcommit-
tee.
Senator Thomas told Commits
Sioner HAGEN that he was going
to have conference with the
three city heads and explain to
them that they will have to stop
making their annual appearances
before the Budget Bureau in q
prefunctory manner and fight
for their estimates. He said he
would tell them at the confer.
ence that it was up to them to
prepare convincing arguments
and strong Justification for their
requests and to make their fight
before the Budget Bureau and
not before Congress.
Letter to BlantOn
The Senator declined to make
public his letter to the Texan,
but it is understood that he con-
veyed the message that the sub
committee would not stand for
any Senator or Representative
giving them a lecture on the pol
icy Of handling District appro-
priations.
He said the subcommittee
would gladly listen to anyone
from either house who had q
specific item he was interested
in, but as to hearing general
S ia t e ments, the subcommittee
was opposed to it.

It was testified that despite the
hue and cry for additional help
for Gallinger Hospital in next
years budget the administrative
officers have failed to fill IS posi-
tion for which money was pro-

It is expected that this revelar
