New Plan 10 Reduce
Federal Rolls Offered
Conferees by Dirksen
By Joseph Young

Conferees on the Federal pay
bill today were offered a new
proposal by Representative Dirk
sen, republican, of Illinois, seek
ing to cut the Government pay
roll by 100000 persons.
Informed by the conferees this
morning that his previous amend
ment adopted by the House had
been ruled ineffective by the con-
troller general, Mr.. Dirksen offered
q new amendment, containing dif-
ferent provisions, but seeking the
same personnel reduction objective.
The intent Of the new Dirksen
amendment Is to have Government
agencies absorb the cost Of the pay
bill by dismissing enough persons to
meet their payroll. Mr.. Dirksen es-
Inmates that approximately 2oo, 900
Federal workers would have to be
discharged under this procedure.
Ask Immediate Ruling.
The conferees asked the controller
general for an immediate decision
on the latest Dirksen proposal so
that they would have the ruling
before them when they meet again
tomorrow on the pay bill.
Mr.. Dirksen's newest amendment
diners from his earlier one in that
1t restricts Government agencies
from spending more money during
the 1s47 fiscal year than they did
during 1916, rather than restricting
congress from appropriating more
money for Government DEPART
ments this year than last year.
In this way, Mr.. Dirksen hopes to
get around the Controller Generals
ruling that the previous amend
ment was ineffective because Con-
gress cannot bind itself to future
legislation.
The new Dirksen proposal also
contains an escape clause whereby
agencies would have the right to
ask for supplemental appropria-
tions If they found that they needed
more money to operate during the
coming fiscal year than they did last
year.
.Dirksen Gets Support.
Considerable support was seen for
the latest Dirksen proposal, should
1t be found to be legally applicable.
Meanwhile, the conferees reported
that they were still discussing de-
tails Of the actual pay increase.
They are expected to write an al
most entirely new bill from the nat
$400-a-year increase House measure
and the graduated II per cent SEN
ate pay bill.
Chairman Randolph Of the House
Civil Service Committee said he
would seek nat is per cent wage
increase for all Government work.
ers in the event that Representative
Rces, Republican, of Kansas offers a
substitute motion for a graduated
l5.5 per cent wage boost.
However, sponsors Of the Federal
pay bill have indicated they would
prefer the House s40o version, es-
pecially for workers in the lower in
come brackets. The House bill Is
far more liberal In this respect than
any Of the other proposals.

Wyatt Plans Controls
On Building 10 Assure
Homes Under $1,000
BY the Asseeiofed Press

Wilson w. Wyatt, national hous-
Ing administrator, is drafting fur.
ther construction controls designed
to put more new homes on the
market bearing price tags Of $4,000
or less.
Offlcials In position to know said
today Mr.. Wyatt expects to estab-
lish area quotas which will require
that certain percentage Of homes
in each region be built to sell at
less than $4,000. the ceiling now
generally in effect.
These officials, who withheld use
OF their names, said the quotas
will be based on building costs in
each area.
Under a preliminary plan sub
ject to revision, the system would
work something like this:
II MIA found that one-tfird of
all new homes authorized in q cer-
tain area were scheduled to sell
for $4,000 or under, 1t might rule
that in the future 50 per cent Of all
authorizations should be In that
price category.
Would Judge by Other Prices.
II 20 per cent were being built to
sell at from $4,000 to $500. this
might be boosted to 80 per cent. and
so on.
The aim will be to build as many
homes for as much less than SIC, 900
as possible, but in each area some
probably will continue to sell at the
ceiling.
In areas where building costs are
high, the minimum sale range
might have to be, say $500 and
under. But the system would work
the same way.
1--WE haven't been able to do any,
thing like this before" one oficial
said, because we haven't had any
postwar cost information for indi-
vidual areas. Some contractors have
contended that they couldn't build
lower-priced homes than their ap-
plications called for. Now we can
say, Others are doing it, so can
YOU"
The Official said also that as sup
plies of building materials increase
and construction costs decline. MIA
will tighten quotas to require an
even greater percentage Of low-cost
housing
28 Per Cent Tagged Under $500.
Mr.. Wyatt has said several times
that despite the $4,000 ceiling he
intends to see that most new dwell
ings sell for no more than 5000.
MIA has released no figures on
how many homes thus far author
lied under the emergency housing
program will sell for 5000 or less,
but during the first 10 weeks the
program was in effect. Is per cent
of the 245,o0o dwellings authorized
were slated to sell at from $500
up. Only % per cent were tagged
at $500 or less.
Meanwhile, a lively fight over 4
union-demanded wage provision
built up today as the Senate got
back to long-range housing legis-
lation.
Both the AFL and the CIO want a
clause inserted requiring that the
prevailing wage Of the locality"
be paid on all housing constructed
with Government financial aid.
AS the measure now stands, such
a clause applies only to public hous-
ing and large-scale apartment prof.
ects constructed under the legis-
lation aimed at getting $1,000 900
city and farm dwelling units built
In the next 10 years.

Rosenberg Cut Short
In War Crimes Trial
Talk on Philosophy
ey the Assocjotsd Press

NUREMBERG, April l5.-Graying
Alfred Rosenberg, oflicial philoso-
pher of the Nazi party, testified In
the war crimes trial today that he
studied in Moscow In 1918 and
what I experienced in Russia per-
suaded me to 60 to Germany and
work there against any trend to-
ward Bolshevism."
He launched almost Immediately
into philosophical discussions which
Lord Justice Sid Geoffrey Lawrence,
presiding judge Of the International
Military Tribunal, sharply inter-
rupted:
"Confine yourself to the charge,
which Is not that they (the Nazis)
attempted the reconstruction of
Germany but that they used this
reconstruction to attack races out
side"
Documents Thrown Out.
Rosenberg, one of "a German
leaders on trial for their lives. said
he was one Of Adolf Hitler's earliest
converts. having joined his fledgling
party In 1919 after meeting the
future dictator In Munich. He said
he was q Baltic German, born in
Estonia. but always considered Ger
many my spiritual home"
The tribunal ruled as inadmissi-
bic nearly half a pile OF documentary
evidence submitted in behalf Of
Rosenberg. Most of the rejected
material was exhaustive philosoph-
ical writings.
Hermann Goering returned to the
prisoners box today. recovered from
a cold. Joachim Won Ribbentrop
was absent, suffering from what
medical officers diagnosed as ia
tigues, with nervousness and head
aches"
The court earlier concluded four
days Of evidence from Ernst Kalten-
Drummer and his witnesses.
Blame Laid on Kaltenbrunner.
Rudolf Hoess, former command.
ant Of the infamous Oswiecim con-
centration camp. testified that
Kaltenbrunner and his staff were
responsible for all orders for COM
mitments and individual executions
In concentration camps.
Hoess, a defense witness, gave this
testimony under cross-examination
by the American prosecution. The
evidence was considered the most
damaging Of any given against Kali
tenbrunner to date.
He said Kaltenbrunner, as chief
Of the Nazi Security Police, gave
orders for protective custody, com.
mitments, punishment and individ-
ual executions" Such orders, the
witness said, were signed either by
Kaltenbrunner or by his deputy,
Heinrich Mueller.
Defense Surprised.
The defense, apparently taken by
surprise, attempted only brief coun-
terquestioning to show Mueller,s
signatures on execution orders ap-
peared more frequently than Kali
tenbrunner,s.
Hoess, IS, admitted $500 900 pris-
oners were executed at Oswiecim.
He said Himmler visited Oswiecim
IN 1912 and watched one process
ing from beginning to end" The
witness described In detail the
"processing-the gassing Of thou
sands Of persons at q time In rooms
labeled "delousing plant" and
shower room"
Hoess said Hitler himself ordered
that mo camp be surrendered and
that no inmate be left behind"

O'Mahoney said he had an op-
portunity to put the District schools
foremost" among those of other
cities.
THAT is great challenge" said
DR.. Corning.
During discussion of the part
time classes. Senator OMahoney
said, 1t was brought out that some
700 pupils are given only part-time
schooling in the Walker-Jones
Schools, Third and L streets NV.
and that a fund for construction of
a new school had been left out of the
House bill.
District officials were directed to
make a report giving a complete
statement" as to the building pro-
gram that would be necessary to
eliminate part-tine instruction of
pupils.
1--WE should not permit Washing
ton schools to be second to any city
IN the country" Chairman OMa-
honey declared.
Construction Funds Sought.
The Commissioners are seeking
the s1,al3,840 over the House totals
for school projects for completing
the new Bell Vocational School,
additions to the Taft Junior High,
the Logan Elementary and an addi-
ton to the Anacostia Senior High
and for completing a new element
ary to replace the Cranch and Tyler
Schools.
Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., Assist
ant Engineer Commissioner, said the
Bell project could not be completed
next year, and Chairman OMaho-
ney directed a study be made as to
whether the money sought for this
project, therefore, should not be
used to build the new Walker Jones
School to hasten the day when the
100 pupils there could 90 back on
full-time instruction.
The OMahoney subcommittee also
went into questions as to whether 1t
was better to put the younger or the
older pupils on part-time instruc-.
ton during the shortage of space
and teachers. It was brought out
there was difference of opinion
among school authorities on this
point.
Gallinger Issue May Come Up.
Questions about the nursing care
for infants born at Gallinger Hos
pital may come up during the after
noon session. This would include
the charges by Gallinger physicians
that 50 or more premature and other
babies born last year died for what
they believe to have been a lack Of
adequate care.
A start on the Health Department
budget was made at the end Of this
mornings session. Chairman OMa-
honey said testimony about the lack
of janitor help for the health clinics
had made it necessary for nurses
assigned to the clinics to devote part
of their time to keeping the prem
ises clean.
Chairman O'Mahoney said: I'VE
have asked Health Of1cer George
c. Euhland for a statement as to
how many nurses are doing cleaning
work instead of taking care Of the
babies at Gallinger Hospital"

Quiz For MarYlonders
Answer to Question /:

Answer to Question /:
Yes. Governor Bowie was the
President of the Maryland Jockey
Club and an enthusiastic breeder
of fine Thoroughbred Stock. As
Governor of the State of Mary
land and President of the Mary
land Jockey Club he fostered the
breeding Of good race horses and
high class racing in Maryland.
One of the famous Stake Races
held at Pimlico is named in
honor of Governor Bowie. Truly,
the breeding and racing of fine
Thoroughbreds is a real Mary
land tradition.
Answer to Question 2:
Racing in Maryland is sup
ported by two groups of people
and only two-the horsemen
who bring their horses to Mary
land to race and the public who
witness the racing. The State of
Maryland does not provide one
dollar for the support of racing.
1t is the horsemen and the public
that really make racing in Mary
land possible.
