NEW YORK - Urgent requests

Executive Secretary, this week IN
letters to Senators Robert wagner
D-NY) and Robert Taft (R-OJ
The bill. an omnibus vehicle pro-
viding for 100000 homes year
for at least five years following the
war. and a probable expenditure OF
$1,000, 900, 900, was introduced IN

PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED
Pointing out that a precedent Tor
clear-cut PROFESSIONS for the protec-
ton of the interest of various seq
ments of the population had al
ready been established in the Lam
ham Act, Granger asserted that
"the incontrovertible facts reveal
that there is a tendency on the
part of administrative agencies re-
sponsible for carrying out the basic
principles of such acts to ignore the
full need of certain of these groups"
He recommended the following safe
guards:
l. That it shall be the declared
policy of the agency administering

housing for every citizen is a mat
ter of national concern, and that in
the distribution of Federal funds
appropriate regard shall be given

Dispute Over USES .
Believed Eased by
|SchweNenbach Plan

BY the Associated Pres.
President Truman appeared to be
giving ground today in his dispute
with Congress over how long the
Federal Government should control
the United States Employment
Service.
s Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach was said to have suggested to
a Senate committee that next June
80 be set as the deadline for return
ing the service to State control.
Presumably this proposal by a
cabinet member would be with the
Presidents approval, although Mr..
Truman spoke Tuesday of another
year of Federal control as desirable.
In a message September 6,sathe
President had asked Federal control
at least until June 80, 1947.
Reception Is Cool.
The Secretary of Labor discussed
the question with an appropriations
subcommittee, which has the issue
before it in the form of rider"
to a bill withdrawing $50, ,000, 900 900
in war appropriations.
The rider, attached by the House,
directs that the Employment Service
be returned to the States within 80
days after enactment of the mea-
sure.
The subcommittee was reported to
have received Mr.. Schwellenbach' s
suggestion coolly, although 1t called
for a return earlier than June 80
II the Secretary deems feasible"
States Claim Rights.
One member, asking anonymity
said there was no chance that Sec
retary Schwellenbach's proposition
would be accepted.
The States controlled the service
from its creation in 1888 until 1942
when the Federal Government took
over on the ground that interstate
migrations of war workers necessi-
tated centralized control.
The Presidents contention is that
the argument still holds.
A major argument by his oppo-
nents is that since the States pay
unemployment compensation they
ought to control the services which
attempt to put the unemployed into
jobs.

to the best advantage, Selling every
opportunity, with cat-like agility,

fights like a wild panther until he
sees that his opponent has the bet
ter Of him, and then gets ION his
bicycle persuing the official
around the arena, and suddenly
completely astounding his opponent
by throwing body block into him
instead Of crying to the .''rzn.''
The supporting bout will pit the

though Meyers is the pride and
joy Of the home team, he'll be as

ut is my hope and belief that the

said. 1884,
This is not the age Of dicta-

The question Of Negroes using

organizations enters into the con.

have been in the habit Of Allowing

tinue to do 80.
Negroes have pressed hard this
