Man Held in Shooting
After Cab Fare DISPUTE

When Moses Jackson, 20, colored.
170o block of U street NV, COM
planned to colored woman taxicah
driver that she charged him too
much fare Saturday night, things
began to happen.
Before he dived into protective
bushes near his destination in the
1900 block of Pomeroy road Sc,
Moses was slapped by the woman's
male companion, who, police said,
then pulled a long -barreled pistol
from his pocket and fired one shot
that missed.
Police explained they are holding
the woman's companion, a 32-year-
old colored man, but since they
can't find the gun, he has not been
formally charged at the eleventh
precinct. Police said the fracas
started after Moses requested that
the woman hacker identify herself,
and her friend resented the idea.
The woman was released.

The rifleman was not in the Pa

serving his country again, putting
on a mock battle with the Here's

State Department Aides to Seek

were sent home early in 1941, some
months before the outbreak of war,

there is a chance that some secret
papers may have been packed with

AS soon as the Embassy, the San

housed goods are taken over from
the Swiss, the State Department ex-
poets to assign archivists to make a
careful check of all papers. If any,
thing sensational and of general in
terest is found, one official said, it
probably will be made public.
Justifications Cited.
So far as officials can recall, this
is the first time in American history
that this Government has ever
seized the diplomatic property OF
another state. But the State De-
partment finds two justifications.
First, the Germans set the prece-
de ut themselves by rifling the files
of the Polish Foreign Office in War

cupation, completely ignoring the
,Swedes who had been named by the
Poles as diplomatic trustees of state
property.

law the German government has
ceased to exist. It's successor will
be the Allied Military Government

Govern Self
Joeobstein Says
Legislators Could
Avoid Much Work

Congress should rid itself of the
necessity of legislating for the Dis
trict of Columbia, DR.. Meyer Jacob
stein of the Brookings Institution
said today before the joint COM
mittee to improve congressional
procedure.
DR.. Jacobstein, former Demo-
cratic member of Congress from
New York, now serving on the staff
Of the Senate Postwar Committee,
listed the present practice as No. /
on the list Of unnecessary work
which Congress could drop. Con-
gress should turn over local legisla-
ton for the District to the Board
of Commissioners with full author
ity to act just as other cities govern
themselves, he said.
There Is no reason why Congress
should act as a board of aldermen
for the District. 1t could delegate this
authority, regardless of whether it
gives the District complete self
government" he added.
Much Unnecessary Work.
DR.. Jacobstein said Congress also
could divest itself of much unneces-
sary work in having to pass individ-
ual bills allowing claims against the
Government to be adjudicated.
A way could be found, he sug-
gested, for most of these claims to
be filed directly in the Federal
courts.
DR.. Jacobstein urged that the
salary of member of Congress be
fixed at $4,000 a year and that
some system of retirement pay be
set up. He also advocated addi-
tional money for members to hire
office help, including a representa-
tive of the member who would stay
in his district and maintain direct
contact with his constituents.
Another measure urged by this
witness was joint staff of experts
appointed by the Appropriation
Committees of Senate and House
to investigate Federal departments
and agencies and determine their
needs.
Ellsworth Offers Plan.
Representative Ellsworth, Repub-
lican, of Oregon pointed out that
one of the most urgent needs was
closer contact between Congress
and the executive branch of the
Government, and suggested that
representative of each department,
perhaps known as a deputy secre-
tary, be named to sit with Congress
constantly. These Representatives
would have the privileges of Con-
gress and might even be given a
vote on matters affecting their de-
partments, he explained.
Mr. Ellsworth said there was
nothing here even comparable to
the question period" in the British
Parliament and there was a conse-
quent lack of understanding between
Congress and the departments.
Agreeing, Representative Mon
roney, Democrat, Of Oklahoma, a
member of the committee, COM
mented that at present about the
only way a member of Congress
could strike back at an agency
which was doing something he dis
approved was to LOB a verbal block
buster from the floor in the direc-
ton of downtown"
Members also show their disap-
proval, he pointed out, by attacking
appropriations of such agencies,
when the appropriation may be
strictly in the public interest and it
is only some practice of the office
that is Under fire
