Commissioners Press
For Authority 10 Run
DC Welfare Units
Young ond Mason Ask
Powers Equal to
Their Responsibility
By JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.

The Commissioners told a
House subcommittee today that,
given full authority, they can do
a 'better job" Of public welfare
administration here than the
present Board of Public Welfare.
Testifying on a bill to strip the
Welfare Board of its administrative
powers, both Commissioners Young
and Mason told the subcommittee
the present plan is unsatisfactory
and that. since criticism for any
thing wrong always falls back on the
Commissioners, they should have
authority equal to their RESPONSE
bility.
Both insisted they were criticizing
the system and there was nothing
personal" in their proposal to as
sumo welfare direction and place
the board in an advisory capacity.
Questions Efficiency.
DR.. II. j. Crosson, vice chairman
Of the board and a member for IS
of its Is years of existence, opposed
the bill, however, declaring he could
not see where the Commissioners
are qualified to handle welfare prob
lens with efficiency.
DR.. Crosson and other members of
the board praised the caliber of the
citizens named to the board ana
several witnesses stressed the i'm
portance of maintaining citizen par
ticipation in the government Of this
voteless community as represented
in the Welfare Board.
After hearing about two hours Of
testimony, Chairman Hunter asked
the Commissioners to call confer
ence of the Welfare Board, the city
heads and representatives OF the
Social Security Board to see If diff
ferences of opinion on necessary
changes might not be reconciled.
Mr.. Hunter asked that he be per-
mitted to take part in the round
table conference, and indicated there
would be no further hearings at the
Capitol until after the conference.
Federal Security Administrator
McNutt has also asked an amend
ment to the proposed bill to pre-
vent its application to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, Freedmens Hospi-
tai and the Columbia Institution for
the Deaf, which are charges OF the
FSA, with certain costs being paid
by the District.

MOSCOW, June 10.-The Rus

have not yielded a Single line"
to the Germans, although the
fight for. the besieged Crimean
port grows more intense hourly,
with the Germans attacking in
cessantly by land and in the air,
Soviet reports declared today.
Dispatches to Red Star, Russian
Army newspaper, frankly said the
German infantry had penetrated to
a hilly sector, where the Nazis were
trying to take two heights. But
these reports added that the battle
generally still ragged at those ap-
proaches to the city about which 1t
began last Friday.
Not a single line held by the
defenders of the city has been seized
by the enemy" the Red Star dis
patch said.
In the air, the reports added, Ger
man planes have broken through
Soviet defenses at some points to
bomb Notifications.
Offensive Checkmated.
The Soviet government announced
that shellfire from Sevastopol's de-
fense batteries dispersed a Nazi in
fantry regiment and killed many of
its men today in checkmating an
offensive said to have cost the Ger
mans $500 dead yesterday.
Two dozen German tanks and 26
planes were declared to have been
destroyed or damaged in June
operations.
Despite his losses" the govern
ment announced, the enemy kept
up the attacks against the heroic
city"
GA Berlin military spokesman
said the Sevastopol garrison
demonstrated particular skill in
building trenches, camouflaging
and laying mines" and that Ger
man troops had to fight for every
foot of soil in the flve-day-old
of1enSive)
Instead Of the usual paragraph,
the Soviet Information Bureau de-
voted 100 words of its post-midnight
communique to the action about the
Crimean naval base which, bolstered
by sea-borne reinforcements and
supplies, has held out at the Axis
rear through more than seven
months of siege.
Details indicated the current Of
fensive threat might be the gravest
in a series Of thrusts which were
previously reported to have cost
Adolf Hitler's command $4,000 dead
Hand-to-Hand Fighting.
THE Germans threw two infan-
try regiments into one attack
against units commanded by Com
rade Zoviko,' the bureau said. Our
artillery and mortarmen dispersed
the Hitlerites with accurate fire
Many hundreds of enemy dead were
leIC on Cne DattlenelQ.
The enemy succeeded in pressing
back somewhat the detachment OF
Comdr. Yermakov. With a decisive
counterattack which developed into
hand-to-hand fighting, our troops
repulsed the Germans"
More than 1000 Of the invaders
were reported to have fallen in new
engagements on the Kalinin and
Leningrad fronts, far to the north
Soviet units on the Leningrad
'front.'" the Information Bureau
said, occupied three populated

innocent as a ripple in your bath
