McCarran Seen
As Likely Head
|0f D. {. Group
Reynolds Expected
To Get Military
Chuirmunship
BY j. A. OLEARY.

A long list of changes in Senate
organization will be made this week,
with indications pointing to Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada as
next chairman of the District Com
mittee
The District vacancy is based on
growing belief party leaders will
adhere to the seniority rule in filling
the Military Affairs Craftsmanship,
which would give that post to
Senator Reynolds, Democrat. Of
North Carolina, present head of the
District Committee.
Meanwhile, there were reliable re-
ports in congressional circles yester-
day that Senator Byrnes, Democrat,
of South Carolina may be nominated
before the end of this week to the
long pending Supreme Court va
cancy, which would open up still
more important committee places.
In addition to being one of the
chief White House strategists on
Capitol Hill, Senator Byrnes holds
places on the important committees
on Appropriations, Foreign Relations
Appropriation Committee he has
charge of all money bills for the
Navy. He is also chairman of the
committee which allocates funds for
Senate investigations and is head
of special group on government
reorganization.
West Virginia Case Pending.
For four months the name Of
Senator Byrnes has figured prom
inently in speculation over a prob
able successor to Associate Justice
McReynolds. who retired from the
bench in January.
All of these changes are expected
to be settled within a day or two
after the West Virginia senatorial
contest is decided, Tuesday or
Wednesday. In that case. the Sen
ate must decide whether to seat
Joseph Roster or Clarence E. Mar
tin, with the vote reported to be
extremely close. Mr.. Roster an
educator, was appointed by former
Senator Neely, now Governor Of
} West Virginia. Mr.. Martin. for
S mer president of the American Bar
Association. was appointed by the

was too young for school, he wore

one huge flag while the youngsters
of another school each held small
flags high above their heads. The
Fairview girl color guard was
awarded a prize for the most novel
feature of the parade.
Floats, slogans and baton twirl-
ers-all in line for awards-figured
largely in the applause. But there
was also the drum majorette who
turned handsprings, the girls drill

House D. T.. Group
Will Act Tomorrow
On Small Loan Bill
Consideration of Police
Pay and Safety Board
Measures Doubted

The House District Committee
will meet at 10 am. tomorrow to
decide the fate of a bill that would
permit small loan companies to
operate here and charge an inter-
est rate of per cent month.
Already approved by the judiciary
subcommittee, full committee action
has been delayed on the measure,
pending receipt of statements from
a group of persons who are opposed
to its enactment. Several of them
are understood to be representa-
tives of small loan companies in
Virginia where the small loan law
allows an interest rate of 3l2 per
cent a month.
Chairman Randolph said the small
loan bill would be the special or
der of business" at the committee
meeting. He expressed doubt
whether the two other measures
favorably reported by subcommit-
tee last week would be considered.
These would: 49, '
l. Authorize an increase in pay of
about $500 a year to police and fire.
men.
2. Provide for creation of an ac-
cident prevention board to enforce
safety regulations for industrial
workers.
Aside from these three bills, the
committee also will have before it
for consideration a request of its
Parks and Recreation Subcommittee
that House authority be sought for ii
to make an investigation of the op-
Grafton of cafeterias in Government
buildings, public golf courses and
other activities handled by conces-
sionaires. The subcommittee, after
a public hearing last week, voted
unanimously to ask the fun COM
mittee to seek House sanction OF the
inquiry, and give it authority to
subpoena witnesses and order the
production of officials records OF the
operations of the concessionaires.
In addition, the subcommittee rec
commended aid of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation in the pro-
posed inquiry.
The original small loan bill con-
sidered by the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee would have authorized small
loans up to a limit of $500 at an
interest of 21a per cent month.
The subcommittee, however amend
ed the bill by raising the limitation
on loans to $500 and fixing the in
terest rate at 2 per cent month.

States. One wonders how it es-
capped Harriet Beecher Stowe and
inclusion in :"Uncle Toms Cabin"
for it is in fundamental harmony
with the scenes and incidents to be
marshalled to stir the Nations con-
science.
It appears that Patrick Nc
Cutcheon Of Tennessee died in 1910
leaving a will providing that upon
the death of his wife the slaves
owned by him and willed to her,
should go free, except that those
who had not arrived at the age of
FL at the time of his wife's death,
should be held by his brother-in-
law, until they reached Fl years of
age, and then should be freed. 1t
was obviously Patrick McCutch-
cons wish that all his servants
should attain their freedom.
After the death of McCutcheon,
and before the death of his wife,
two of the slaves, Eliza and Gym
thia had children born to them,
whose advent had not been pro-
vided for in the will.
After the death of Mrs. McCutch-
con, the heirs sought to defeat the
intent of the will. They claimed
that the laws of Tennessee did not
permit freeing of slaves by will,
and that the increase born after
McCutcheOn's death and before
their mother was to go free were
slaves, and therefore liable to be
distributed as inherited property.
The Supreme Court rejected the
contention that slaves could not be
freed by will, but regarding the
children of Eliza and Cynthia, it
held that they were born in slav-
cry, and not having been made free
by provisions of the will, they re-
manned slaves. Thus the parents
became free but the children re-
manned in bondage.

Lend and Lease Aid
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

Congress now is waging
Controversy over a British lend
and lease aid bill,
For Britain is in dire need
Of replenishment if we only will.
Help to be effective
Must come at once,
For delay heightens chances of
failure
AS Hitler alludes democracies to
a Ounce.
Procrastination in a democracy
When momentous questions are
involved,
Help may not Illustrate Nazi de-
signs
After a Nation has been dis
solved.
From every viewpoint possible
Everyone can see,
That success to Britain means
much
To keep democratic countries
free.
It's always a free peoples fight
To uphold democratic institutions
high,
Whether here or abroad
We can't idly let them die.
It's cheaper to lend and lease
Than to later have to fight,
For surely if England is whipped,
We're next, see if I'm not right.
