candidate for the Democratic NOM
ination for reelection to the Sen
ate seat he has occupied for IL
years
A statement issued by him here
last night ended political specula-
ton as to his future plans, begun
when he stated recently he would
not seek reelection.
He said his decision to run re-
suited from a State wide demand
for all factions" that he make the
race.
Senator Overton, former chairman
of the District Subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
announced March II that he would
not seek reelection this year. At
the same time, he repeated his oft
expressed belief that a constitu-
tional amendment should be adopt
ed giving District citizens the right
to representation in the Senate and
House and a vote in presidential
elections.
In May, however, his As Senate
Democratic colleagues paid him the
unusual honor of signing petition
urging him to reconsider his de-
cision and run again.

in having the Federal Governments S

Split in WPB Holds Up
Nelson Plan 10 Allow
Gradual Reconversion
6 of 8 Vice Choirmen
Reported Opposing Step;
Maverick Backs Chief
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The whole policy Of Chairman
Donald M. Nelson of the War
Production Board for gradual
reconversion of the Nations in
dustry to peacetime and civilian
production is threatened by dis
agreement among war agency
officials, it was learned today.
Although Mr. Nelson announced
three weeks ago that wartime re-
strictions governing the use of
aluminium and magnesium would be
revoked and other relaXations of
strict wartime controls over mate
rials undertaken. the issuance of
orders putting the changes into
effect has been held up by other
officials who do not agree that the
time to begin reconversion has ar
rived.
Offlcials said that when Mr.. Nell
son returns from his sickbed he will
have the fight of his life" to make
his ently-announced program
stick. The WPB chief, recovering
from pneumonia, returned to his
home from Doctors Hospital Tues
day. but he was described as still
very weak" He is not expected back
at work for at least two weeks.
Would Free Aluminium, Magnesium
Mr.. Nelson's program involved
the release of aluminium and mag
nesium. currently surplus materials,
for manufacture of essential CT
villain goods wherever and when
ever there are manpower and fa-
cilities not needed for the war. He
said an order was being prepared
authorizing any manufacturer to
acquire enough materials and COM
ponents to make and test a single
working model of any product
planned for postwar production. In
addition, beginning July /, manufac-
turers were to be allowed to pur-
chase machinery, tools and dies for
civilian production.
Although it now is nearly a week
past the deadline for issuance of
the orders making the program ef-
fective. none has been issued. 1t
was held unlikely that further ac-
ton will be taken until Mr.. Nelson
returns to his office.
The WPB was reported badly split
over the Nelson program. and it was
learned that only two of the eight
WPB vice chairmen approved ef the

District Court today after Chief
Justice Edward c. Eicher
Strengthened out, at least tempo
rarily, the legal tangle that re-
suited when he dismissed James

from the case late yesterday.
Mr.. Laughlin, who was ousted
from the trial for filing with the
Speaker of the House a petition
asking the House to impeach Justice
Eicher, reappeared at his old place
at the defense table. explaining that
he had taken the order to the Court
Of Appeals. Justice Eicher refused
to hear Mr.. Laughlin and ordered
him from the courtroom. Mr..

has asked the appellate court to

Noble protested having his attor-
ney changed lin midstream."
1t was, he contended, cause for a
mistrial. He said he would refuse
to consent to the change. The court
overruled his objection.
Justice Eicher had another matter
to deal with before the trial could
proceed. Henry H. Klein, attorney
for Eugene N. Sanctuary, failed to
appear yesterday and remained alb
sent today, leaving with the court
statement in which he declared
he could no longer defend his client
owing to the judges "high-handed'
disregard of the defendants rights
