Committee CIearsWay
For House Debate on
Trade Bill
Passage Of Measure
Without Change Is
Expected by Friday
n @Ia
By J. A. O'Leasy

The House Rules Committee
today approved resolution
clearing the way for floor debate
tomorrow on the Philippine
trade bill. designed to aid the
islands in establishing a sound
economy during the first % years
of their independence.
A special rule provides for one day
of general debate, after which the
bill will be open to amendment.
Indications are, however, it will pass
Friday without material change,
allowing the Philippines eight years
OF free trade on quota basis fol-
lowed by 20 years of gradual appn-
cation of tariff duties at the rate
Of 5 per cent a year.
During the 20-year period the
Philippine tariff would be grad
ually mounting percentage of the
Cuban rates, which are lower than
world rates. After July 3, 1874, the
Philippines would pay the world
rates.
Dooghton Urges Definite Action.
Chairman Doughton Of the Ways
and Means Committee today filed in
the House q formal report on the
bill, in which he pointed out that,
with the Philippines scheduled to be
given independence on July 4, '.it is
that our trade relations
with the islands be defined at once
and that the pattern of such rela-
tions be cut In such manner that
the Philippines will derive the great
est possible assistance in the re-
establishment and future develop
ment of their national economy"
Most important change the COM
mittee made in the bill was to reduce
the Philippine sugar quota from $780,
900 long tons to that many short
tons, a cut Of s240 pounds per ton.
This amounts to a loss to the Philip
pines. once they get back into sugar
production, Of $4,000 long tons, or
102, 900 short tons year.
The other principal items put on
a quota basis in the bill are cordage,
rice, cigars, scrap and filled tobacco,
coconut oil and pearl buttons.
Want Quota Omitted.
Printed hearings on the bill, avail
able today, disclosed that of1lcials
Of the Agriculture Department
wanted the committee to omit any
reference to q Philippine sugar
quota from the bill, on the ground
that new sugar act for all pro-
ducing areas will be up for consid-
Grafton at the end OF this year.
Earl B. Wilson, director of the
departments sugar branch, testified
that the 1887 Sugar Act expires De-
cember 81, while the international
sugar agreement, dealing with Inn
port and export quotas, runs out

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar.
27.-UNRRA's 48-nation council
may suspend its deliberations
here temporarily to await the
outcome of Herbert Hoover's food
fact finding tour of Europe.
Col. c. Tyler wood, acting chief
of the United States delegation,
acknowledged that postponement
had been considered, but expressed
belief that the council would decide
to thresh out the details of the food
program here.
Delegates were openly downcast
by the declaration of President
Truman's Famine Emergency Com
mittee that food rationing in the
United States-biggest provider of
UNRRAs relief supplies-would be
Of no help.
Acceptable Formula Sought.
While special subcommittee
sought formula acceptable to both
supplying and receiving countries,
representatives of the member ma
tions studied the advisability OF de-
ferring recommendations on what
should be done for another two
weeks.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
has asserted that rationing at this
point would be impractical in the
United States.
Director General Herbert Lehman
had said rationing now may save
countless thousands of lives during
the coming months.
Doubts Solution Soon.
Mr.. Lehman has challenged the
view of both Mr.. Anderson and Mr..
Hoover that the problem is a short
term one.
Under the proposal for a defer
ment of UNRRA decision on food,
the organizations committee on
food would reconvene in about two

S6,0OO,0OO Reduction
In District Budget
Is Now Impending
Shortage Of Building
Materials Becomes Foctor
In Making New Cuts
BY Don S. Warren

A drastic District budget cut of
50, ,000, 900 impended today as lack
Of funds and the crucial shortage
OF building materials were de-
scribed as a double-edged sword
being swung against the 1947
proposals, totaling $81 500, 900.
Such a budget slash, now planned
by the Coffee Subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee,
would be half again as big as that
considered recently when the hear
ings ended. Mr.. Coffee said the bill
probably would 60 to the House
early next week.
At present indications point to its
adoption. but while the record
breaking estimates have been
marked up, the supply bill vet Il
to be put into final form and It is
possible, If not probable, some
changes will be ordered when total
cuts are tabulated.
Tax Recommendation Foreseen,
Also, there was reason today to
believe the report Of the District
subcommittee would present to the
House strong recommendation for
levying additional District taxes and
for granting greatly increased
Federal payment toward expenses of
the National Capital.
Need for solution of the Districts
financial plight also stirred members
OF the House District Committee
and Chairman Mcmillan announced
he would institute soon an inquiry
leading to legislative action. He al
ready has called on the Commits
sioners to submit, as soon as it is
ready, the report of their committee
of officials and citizens studying
possible additional revenues.
Strong additional support has been
gained recently for a considerable
boost in the Federal payment and
for the formula proposed by Senator
OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming
for annual adjustment of the pay
ment in keeping generally in the
ratio of tax-exempt Federal land
holdings here.
Permanent Action Later.
But since the House may act next
week on necessarily curtailed
District supply bill, permanent legis-
lation regulating the Federal pay
ment or possibly adopting extra
taxes would come later.
Tentative decisions by the Coffee
Subcommittee to hack deeply into
the budget estimates, therefore, were
not unexpected, since mere main
tainance and operation costs of the
District now absorb about all the
Districts tax revenues, leaving moth
ing for capital improvements except
the $6,000,000 Federal payment.
Were 1t not for the $4,000, 900 in
vestment fund built up during the
wartime restraints on construction,
some experts say, the cuts would
have to be even deeper.
If present plans carry, It seems
likely that many projects indorsed
by Coffee Committee members will
go overheard. It means some will
be deferred at least year, pending
the adoption of means of more an
nual revenue.
:. Such savings for the future al
ready were in mind on Capitol Hill,

At Halfway Mark
BULLETIN.

ATLANTIC CITY R.-At
about the halfway mark in
the roll-call voting, Walter
Reuther today led R. J.
Thomas. 2,242 to 2,z18, in their
race for president of the CIO
auto workers union.
ATLANTIC CITY, Mar. 27.-
After two long demonstrations
for r. ]. Thomas and Walter P.
Reuther, in which Mr.. Reuther
received the greater ovation,
delegates to the CIO United Auto
Workers convention began bal
loting shortly after noon today
for president of the union.
A total of $3.50 votes were to be
cast by the 1877 delegates, some
having more votes than others, de-
pending on the size of their local
unions.
The demonstration for Mr..
Reuther, UAW vice president and
leader of the General Motors strike,
went on for 81 minutes, four minutes
longer than the Thomas demonstra-
ton.
A reporter asked Mr.. Reuther
what he thought about it. He re-
piled with a grin: Il have no COM
ment except that it looks
good"
When Mr. Thomas was asked to
comment, he said, Il can't say any
thing"
Each Heckled in Turn.
Ed Cote of Detroit placed Mp.
Reuther in nomination. There was
some heckling during his brief talk,
as there had been when Mr. Thomas
was nominated.
Ben Garrison of Detroit made the
nominating speech for Mr.. Thomas,
who hes been UAW president for
seven years.
The delegates opened today's ses-
sion by observing 20 minutes of
bedlam.
When the pounding gavel opened
the session, the noise broke out and
hundreds of placards for both can
didates were waved in the air. Dele
gates stood on the tables and noth-
ing could bring order until they had
cheered themselves out.
Smile and Exchange Remarks.
In the midst of the cheering, MIR,
Reuther walked UP to Mr.. Thomas
on the stage and the rivals who
have hurled bitter campaign cpl
thets at each other smiled and ex-
changed remarks.
Both sides continued to express
confidence of victory up to the last
minute
Mr.. Thomas went into the bals
loting with the support of George F.
Adde's, secretary-treasurer, and Rich
ard T. Frankensteen, vice president
while Mr.. Reuther stood alone
among the four top officers of the
SOC, ,000-member union.
After the naming of a president.
the convention was to vote on q
secretary-treasurer and two vice
presidents.
Adde'S Reelection Seen.
Mr.. Adde's, who has held the post
for 10 years, was expected to have
little or no opposition for re-elec-
tion.
The vice presidential races were
scrambled because of doubt over
who would be elected president. A
defeated candidate for president
is permitted to run for a vice presi-
dency.
The delegates took time out YES.
terday from the battle to raise dues
from 81 to s15o a month, effective
in May, after defeating a previous
proposal for 50 a month dues. Mr..
Adde's favored the 50 dues.
Yesterday the convention voted its
support of the 25,000 General Motors
strikers still holding out on local
issues, such as the Buick workers at
Flint, Mich, but a specific proposal
for a money assessment was de-
ferred.
