Congress Seen Cool
To Reorganization
As Hearing Continues

Congress showed little inclination
to grant President Truman the
broad powers he seeks to reorgan-
ize and consolidate Government
agencies as the House Expenditures
Committee prepared today to hear
Controller General Lindsay Warren
present his views.
After yesterdays opening hearing
on reorganization legislation. Chair
man Manasco, Democrat, of Ala
bama, told committee members I'VE
would be foolish to even attempt to
report out to the House the kind of
bill that the administration is seek
ing I'VE would be batted down in
the House so fast it wouldn't be
funny" Other members appeared
to agree with him.
Would Exempt 81 Agencies
Mr.. Manasco has introduced legis-
lation which would exempt 81 agen-
ces from Presidential reorganization
among them the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Federal Com
munications Commission, Federal
Trade Commission, General Ac-
counting Office and the Veterans
Administration.
Members of the committee agreed
reorganization legislation is needed
but they baked at including AL
agencies in the program! Mr.. Man
asco said, however, it was possible
several of the agencies exempted in
his bill would be included in the
final reorganization legislation
The members yesterday heard
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
urge that the President be givc1
power to reorganize all Government
agencies. Exemption of the q
agencies would prevent the Govern.
ment from having a well-run pro.
gram and policy as a whole, he said
Il do not mean to say that all, o.
even most, of these 81 agencies
should be rearranged under reor.
ganization plans" Mr.. Smith said
However, it is my view that sufh
cient reason does not exist for clos
ingsthe door to doing those thing
which may now be necessary or ma,
later become necessary
Very Sizable Segment.
Mr.. Smith added that these 2
agencies constitute a very sizabl
segment of the total Federal Gov
eminent and it would be quite i'm
possible to achieve a reasonably sat
isfactory Federal executive organi
cation if these agencies are to b
insulated"
| Following Mr.. Smiths testimony
Mr.. Manasco said that Controlle
General Warren probably would b
the final witness. &c..
Senate hearings will start at 1913
, am. tomorrow on the McCarran re
organization bill. The legislation
more liberal to the President tha
the House bill, granting the Presi
dent powers to reorganize all execu
tive agencies except the General Ac
, counting Office.

Cause Of Fish Deaths
In Maryland Waters
Still Undetermined
Ry the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept 5.-Bio-
logical disturbance of undetermined
nature was cited as the cause of
fish mortality in Maryland waters
last month in a report of an in
vestigation released yesterday by
Gov. O'Conor
Results of study "in which every
clue. whether from press or pri-
vate sources. was run down" was
made by r. v. Truitt. head of the
State department of research and
educa ton, whose summarization in
dicated further study would be re-
quired to definitely establish con-
tributing factors.
R. c. Hammer, fishery biologist
of the department, conducted the
investigation, Mr.. Truitt stated, but
the reported excessive death rate
was not substantiated on interview
ing IL sportsmen and crabberss OF
the fishing grounds, and after max
ing inquiry of Is owners Of shore
property located nearby"
Deny Fish Decimated.
Complete coverage of the area ir
which dead fish had been reported
failed to support the theory OF q
catastrophe development that hae
decimated the local fish population
Mr.. Truitt said in the report, since
only in Dark Head Creek were deae
fish found in such quantities as tt
indicate abnormal conditions.
The waters of the Middle River
area were normal" he said. al
though at this point, in common
with Bush and Back Rivers, there
develops after rainy spells of sum-
mer. with consequent rich runof1
microscopic plant life OF such pro-
portions as to upset the chemica
balance of the water to a degree
that adversely affects, even kills
certain of the fish life in it.
Three Possible Causes.
Reporting Investigations of rocl
mortality, Mr.. Truitt said the car
bon -dioxide principle, common tt
shallow streams, was not indicated
as a probable cause of the loss o.
the fish.
"Intervie we'd watermen anc
sportsmen assigned three possible
causes as killing agents with opin
ions about evenly divided between
Explosives; materials discharged il
military activities, or waste mate
rial disposed of by Government wa
agencies" Mr.. Truitt said.

Judge Gum Refuses
To Quash Contest
|0f Fenwick Election
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 5.-Attor-
neys for L. Preston Collins prepared
today to take dispositions Friday in
Wise County, following Judge Julien
Gums refusal yesterday in Rich
mond Circuit Court to quash Mr..
Collins contest of the nomination
of Charles r. Fenwick, Arlington,
as Democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor.
The ruling of Judge Gum paved
the way for the taking of evidence
concerning election irregularities in
Wise, which Mr.. Collins alleged in
his contest petition. The issue is
whether the Wise County returns
shall be thrown out If they are Mr..
Collins, defeated by 572 votes in
official Statewide primary returns,
would be the nominee. If Wise re-
turns, which gave Mr.. Fenwick 1907
votes to l22 for Mr. Collins, are
counted, Mr.. Fenwick is the NOM
inee.
Judge Gum. In his opinion on Mr..
Fenwicks motion to quash and dis
miss the contest. said:
TO the bill of complaint there
was a demurrer filed by the con-
testee, which is in its nature a
motion to quash, and on August %,
1945. argument on the motion to
quash was heard at length.
THE contestee in his demurrer
and motion to quash assumes the po-
sition that this court is without
jurisdiction and that the cause
should be dismissed In this I can
not agree. The entire Commonwealth
is affected by elections in each Of
its units. If it were purely local
election, of course this court could
not assume jurisdiction fzEl.j
Il see no sound reason for e3-
tending remarks of reasoning on the
immediate point involved and am
OF the opinion that the demurrer or
the motion to quash should be over
ruled and that the merits of the
case should be heard by this court "
Stuard G. Christian, of counsel for
| Mr.. Fenwick, said he and his COL
leagues will ask Judge Gum to start
taking evidence in the case after
the dispositions of Mr.. Gardner
and other persons in Wise County
have been taken. He said sum-
monses had been served on persons
whose dispositions will be taken and
that copy of the demand had been

HINT BRONX YMCA MAY
BECOME INTERRA(IAL UNIT

NEW YORK, Aug. %. (ANP)-
The Bronx branch of the YMCA
here may become an interracial
unit, according to Arthur B. Mich
oils, executive director. Sixty Ne
gro members are now classified as
juniors, he disclosed.
The Bronx YMCA is located near
a growing Negro community that
has increased from 1902 in 1910
to $4,000 in 1c45. The plan to con-
vert the branch into an interracial
unit is based uoon a three-year sur
vey on the increasing surrounding
Negro population.
The YMCA head expressed fear
that the surrounding Negro COM
munities may expand so rapidly as
to force the branch to operate as an
all-Negro unit rather than as an
interracial un t. He said Negroes
were admitted to the junior depart
ment in 1912, when conversion of
the branch into an interracial unit
was first considered.
They were admitted in small
groups after careful selection. The
experiment in mixed memberships
has been ''ver! satisfactory" he re-
