McCarran Asks Action
On Home Rule Bill

Unable to attend today's session
of the Joint Congressional Commit
tee studying means of undermining
congressional procedure, Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada has
submitted in writing his request fol
support for his home rule bill fol
the District.
Passage of this bill, which would
establish a council-manager form Of
government for the District, woulo
aid in lessening the burden of Con-
gress in legislating at the municipa
level, Senator McCarran said.
Asking that most serious con.
sideration" be given the home rule
plan, Senator McCarran said il
offers Congress an opportunity "to
do essential justice to the people oi
the District by giving them a voice
in the management of their own af-
fairs"
He added: 1T seems clear that
the jurisdiction of the joint CON-
mittee extends to this subject, since
the amount of time Senators ano
Representatives are forced to give to
affairs of the District under the
present system could far better be
expended on matters of greater ma
tional Importance.
ITO relieve the Congress of this
burden by placing the municipal
government in the hands of elected
representatives of the District, in
lire with the established tenets OF
our democracy, would be to take a
step which purely from the stand
point of justice and equity is long
overdue"

Darden Asks Revision
Of School Fund Bill
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, April 10.-The
General Assembly will be asked to
make several minor amendments in
the school appropriations bill 1t
passed at the recent special session,
Gov. Darden said yesterday.
The Governor is holding up his
signature until the two houses, now
in recess, return to the Capitol May
IA. The act received his SPONSOR
ship and he said he was thoroughly
in accord with its general form, but
deemed it best to make several
minor changes.
The major change contemplated,
he stated, would be on the item
which would appropriate 100000 for
use by the State in paying two
thirds of the estimated cost of plac-
ing school principals on 12-month
employment basis. The Governor
said he thought the section should
state clearly that any changes in
salaries should first receive the ap-
proval of the STATE Board OF Edu-
cation. The separate localities
would take care Of the remaining
one-third additional cost.
The school appropriations bill calls
for an expenditure of some s4,000,-
900 during the next year, following
suggestions made by the Denny
Commission after a detailed study
Of the publis school system pf Vir-
! ginia.

.WLB Extends Phone
Contract, Including
Union Maintenance

The National War Labor Board
today ordered extension of the con-
tract between the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. and the
union of its employees, including a
provision for maintenance of men,
bership to which the company OBJ
jected, until the differences that
now separate the parties are peace
ably and finally resolved The
two industry members dissented.
The order followed hearing last
Thursday on the unions request
for a continuance of the old con-
tract which expired March 81. At
the hearing, the firm opposed ex-
tension of the maintenance of
membership provision on the gen.
eral ground that the union was
irresponsible as evidenced by its
having called two strikes and seven
work stoppages during the life of
the contract.
Work Under Old Contract.
The WLB said:
Il. The parties shall continue
uninterrupted operation under the
terms and conditions of their COL
lective agreement which expired
March 81, 1945, until the differences
that now separate the parties are
peaceably and finally resolved.
%. If. prior to the conclusion OF
a new agreement, work stoppage
should occur, it shall be reported tc
the board for appropriate action,
Public Members Dexter M. Keezel
and Nathan P. Feinsinger and Labor
Members Delmond Garst and Elmer
A. Walker supported the order. anc
Industry Members j. Holmes Davis
and Hoey A. Hennessy dissented.
Asked No-Strike Pledge.
At the hearing. William Gassaway
attorney for the company, urged
that the WLB seek a no-strike
pledge from union officials before a
full contract extension was granted
The company, he explained, had
agreed to extension Of all provisions
but the union maintenance clause
The union objected to pledging its
members not to strike and said il
previously had not entered into a
no-strike pledge to the Government
because it never had been asked to
do SO.
The dispute between the company
and the Washington Telephone
Traffic Union, an affiliate of the in
dependent National Federation OF
Telephone Workers, arose originally
over extension of the old contract.
AL Philip Kane, attorney, and
Mrs. Mary E. Cannon. union presi.

Boilers Blamed for Smoke
Are Used in Emergency

The Virginia Electric g. Power Co.
announced this morning that during
peak load hours it has been neces-
sary to utilize the loW-pressure boil

These are the boilers which In past
years have been blamed for the
smoke and cinders from the plant.
and which were shut down after the
recent enactment by City Council
of a smoke-control ordinance.
Emergency operation of these
boilers is made necessary by the

that it will be a matter of several
weeks before the damage to the
