Left Unpaid by Senate Row

ator McCarran asks. He makes
the point that until a committee
has held hearings it can't know
what the expenses will be nor how
deeply the Senate should 60 into a
problem.
In the case of the Gallinger
probe, the Senate adopted q reso-
luton directing the District Com
mittee to investigate hospital con-
ditions, but it didn't specify ap-
proval Of any bills. The hearings
were printed in September Of 1913
The cost is said to run to between
$7OO and $500.
Later, a resolution was intro
duced calling for a District Com
mittee examination OF the slum
problems. 1t never came up for
Senate action, but hearings were
held over Z period of six months
by Senator Burton, Republican, OF
Ohio, at the direction Of Senator
McCarran. This transcript bill Is
said to run to moro than $1,000.

CATION of conditions at Gallinger
Hospital and the 1914 hearings into
the Districts slum problems is being
held up by dispute as to who must
sanction such expenditures, it was
revealed yesterday.
Chairman Lucas of the Senate
Audit and Control Committee said
his group was holding up payment
Of the bills because neither his COM
mittee nor the Senate had approved
the expenditures.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, who was chairman Of the

.OPA Amends Order
On Markup Freeze

Robert K. Thompson, director of
the District Once of Price Admin
istration, announced today that un-
der an amendment to the March
10 OPA order which freezes price
markups, reailers may omit mark
down prices which prevailed on that
date.
Under the order, retailers were
required to list their prices as OF
March 10 on special price charts,
and their markups as OF that date
prevail on all future prices. Many
retailers, it was explained, had spe-
cial markdown prices on some goods
on that date. 1t was unfair to re-
quire them to sell goods in the fu-
ture at the markdown price, 1t was
said, hence retailers may omit such
markdown prices from their charts.

District Court Changes
Trial Assignment System

Beginning April 9, District Court
criminal cases will be scheduled and
assigned for trial by John H. Suln-
van, the assignment commissioner
for the court, instead of through the
United States attorneys Office as
heretofore.
Mr.. Sullivan will assign the cases
under supervision of Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough. who has been desig-
mated assignment justice of the
criminal division. Mr.. Sullivan is to
be aided in his additional duties by
Richard L. Collins, assistant assign
ment commissioner.
The assignment commissioner
heretofore only assigned civil cases

additional duty of assigning criminal
cases was made at general term
session of the justices of District
Court, it was said.
Cases pending trial include ap-
proximately 1,500 calendared civil
cases and slightly more than 400
criminal cases, not an unusually
high number for the court.

Body Of Youth Drowned
In Canal Is Recovered

The body of Arthur AFFORD, IT.
year-old Western High School stu
dent of Alb w street NV, was
recovered yesterday by Montgomery
County police from the feeder canal
connecting the Potomac River and
the C. & o. Canal near Brookmont.
The youth, the first swimming fatal
ity this year, was drowned Friday
when he and five companions went
swimming in the canal.
Police said the youth apparently
had been swept under by the swift
current in the canal. They said his
five companions, also Western High
School students, all tried to save
him. The average depth of the
water in the canal is II feet, they
said.

and would have total drainage
area OF IS, ,276 square miles.
Figures Presented.
The engineers estimate average
yearly flood damage in the Potomac
basin at $1,170,000, and estimate the
annual benefits to be derived from
the project as:
Flood control, $253,0O0; water
supply, $170,000 pollution .abate-
ment, $573,0 900; highway facilities,
$50 900; recreation, $289, 900; naviga-
ton, $4,000, and water power, $14,-
345 900. The report comedies that
the largest return from the project
would be from the manufacture of
hydroelectric power, which would be
generated by the Army and sold to
municipalities, co-operatives or pri-
vate power companies wholesale
through the Interior Department.
Returns from the sale of power
would be paid to the Treasury and
would be applied to the self -liquida-
ton of the project.
Objections to the project have
been made on the grounds that 1t
would result in unwarranted destruc-
ton of economic values by inundat-
ing thousands of acres of the best
agricultural land in the area, that
it would result in further economic
losses by bisecting communities and
disrupting communications chan
nels. that 1t would destroy historic
landmarks and that it is doubtful
that the power could be sold at
rates cheaper than those now exist
ing
Further opposition has been
voiced in West Virginia on the
grounds that the unlimited power
facilities" would reduce the yearly
consumption Of coal by 100000 tons
thus creating a Statewide labor
problem.
Residents of the areas also point
to. the terrific" problem involved
in uprooting communities of people
from homes they have known for
generations" and settling them Sue
cessfully in strange country.

Big 0versubscription
Urged as Red Cross
Drive Tops Goal

All III DIVISIONS OF ReQ cross S0llc-
itors went triumphantly lover the
top" of their individual quotas dur
ing the campaign month of March,
drive headquarters announced yes
terday. Already 104 per cent sub
cribed, the campaign closes Thurs
day.
The 1945 Red Cross. War Fund
drive has been unusual in two re-
spects. The solicitors made their
quota within the specified month
for the first time in the history of
War Fund drives. Second, all 10000
Of them were so successful that
oversubscription was uniform and
no one group had to pull up the
average of the others.
I'VE have raised our sights above
any level that has ever before been
attempted in a Red Cross drive in
this community" Samuel H. Kauff-
mann, campaign chairman, said.
"Our goal is to see the Nations
Capital take its proper place of
leadership among the big cities of
this country in the generosity of
its response for the wartime serv-
ices of the great American Red
Cross"
Hope to Top $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Kaufman stressed again
that Washington will not really
reach its goal unless oversub-
scription at the closing meeting
Thursday is as heavy as it can
possibly be. Last year the drive
netted 100000. Aiming to top
this, the drive leaders estimated
yesterday that they now have an
unoficial total of $2900,0O0. They
hope solicitors can pass the $4,000
600 mark during the next three
days.
The official total, reported at the
last general meeting Thursday, was
81, ,807 ,076. At that time four divi-

ness solicitors, however, passed 100
per cent that evening and the Gov
|ernment and county solicitors over
subscribed early yesterday.
Mr.. Kaufman is hopeful that
last years record Of 486, 900 contrib
|utors will also be beaten this year.
BY last count, the 1945 total was
still $4,000 short.
County Drives Difficult.
The county chairmen in particu-
lar are having difnculty reaching
many prospective givers who work
in Washington and return home
late usually. Col. Waldron Leonard,
chairman of the Fairfax County
drive, asked that county residents
as yet not solicited telephone Red
Cross county headquarters in Falls
Church to add their contributions.
The Government division, which
has the largest quota of 81 1,161 600,
now reports unofncially total OF
| 81 ,196, ,595-103 per cent. The resi-
Dental division has more than its
$228, 500 goal but Martin T.

Iitors that about half the 81 assigned
residential areas. are not yet COM
