Gen. Andrews issued this state

I'VE must understand that the

Opposition Develops
To Reappointment Of
Judges Casey, Cayton
Former Accused Of Race
Bios, Letter Charged
With Being impatient

The eight nominees for the
bench of the reorganized lower
courts of the District were in
dorsed by members of the Dis
trict Bar Association before a
Senate subcommittee today, but
opposition from other sources
developed against reappointment
of Judges Nathan Cayton and
Walter j. Casey
Thurman L. Dodson, a former
president Of the Washington Bar
Association, composed of colored
lawyers, protested confirmation Of
Judge Casey to be a member Of the
merged Police and Municipal Courts
on the charge that he shows
prejudice against colored litigants
in cases where white persons are
on the other side.
The opposition to the elevation OF
Judge Cayton from the Municipal
Court to the new Municipal Court
of Appeals was registered by one
member of the bar, Leonard j.
Ganse, who complained that the
Judge is impatient of technicalities,
that he has sought publicity and is
not always impartial.
C0lored Lawyers Disagree.
AS the hearing progressed, how
ever, it developed that colored law
yers at the hearing disagreed on
the prejudice charge against Judge
Casey, and the subcommittee, after
four hours of testimony, recessed
until 10 am tomorrow.
Andrew J. Howard, vice president
of the Washington Bar ASSOCIATION,
took issue with the association on
the prejudice charge. He said he
practices daily in Police Court and
has never noticed any bias exercised
by Judge Casey. Mr.. Howard cited
two cases he handled in which
Judge Casey rendered decisions for
colored defendants where white per-
sons were interested in the other
side.
Harry A. Dyson, another colored
attorney practicing regularly in
Police Court. also defended Judge
Casey's impartiality. Mr.. Dyson
cited specific cases to show Judge
Casey acted without prejudice.
Richard r. Atkinson, chairman
of a committee of the Washington
Bar Association, joined Mr. Dodson
in presenting the associations pref
udice charge. In response to ques-
tions Mr. Atkinson said he had two
cases before Judge Casey, but did
not recall the outcome. Mr.. Dodson
said he had no personal experiences
in which Judge Casey was pre-
siding between white and colored
litigants.
Hearing Is Recessed.
Both Mr.. Dodson and Mr.. Atkin-
son said they believed the commit
tee should hear other colored attor-
neys, on whose informa ton the as
sociation acted. and the recess was
taken until tomorrow to give them
an opportunity to appear.

Henderson Says Cut
In Funds Won't Allow
Full Operation
Would Not Be Able to
Garry Out Congress
Directions, He Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson told Senate Appropria-
tions subcommittee today that
he could not carry out what he
regarded as Congress directions
in controlling prices, rents and
rationing with the 34,576 en-
ployes now on his staff.
Urging restoration by the Senate
OF the full $161 ,000, 900 approved by
the Budget Bureau for this fiscal
years operations of the OPA, Mr..
Henderson said he gave the COM
mittee figures showing that House
action in cutting this fund to $75,-
000, 900 would reduce his staff to
about $500 persons.
In closed session, from which
drifted sounds Of vigorous table
humping, Mr.. Henderson was said
to have been questioned closely by
committee members about a state
ment he issued yesterday. Some
Senators said they interpreted this
statement as blaming Congress for
permitting the puncturing of cell
ings on canned fruits and other
agricultural commodities.
After the session Mr.. Henderson
told reporters the original budget
estimate Of $161 100000 for OPA
would have permitted him to employ
$4,000 persons, including 5000 in
Washington, $4,000 in field offices
and $4,000 clerks for rationing
boards. He said the Budget Bureau
agreed to a $5,OOO,O0 appropriation
for extra help which would employ
5000 persons temporarily.
At present he said he had 5,4O0
Washington employees, 9,676 in the
field and 1880 rationing board
aides.
The House-approved total of $75,-
100000, he said, would authorize
5000 Washington employees, $500 in
the field and 10000 with rationing
boards.
IF we have nothing else to ad-
minister except what is now in the
works." he. declared, "the staff we
have now couldn't carry out what I
take to be the directions of Con-
gress."
