1900 GettingD DC. Aid
Face Rising Prices
with Reduced Income

Four thousand District families
and individuals receiving public AS
sistance are facing a growing threat
TO their existence as food and other
prices rise, Ray L. Huff, District
director of public welfare, said to-
day.
Because of the limited allotments
to those receiving public assistance,
Mr.. Huff pointed out they neces-
sarilv must buy at the corner
store" and in small lots. This makes
their situation even more precarious,
he contended.
Request for a supplementary ap-
preparation in l947 to care for those
receiving public assistance is the
only means seen at present by
Mr.. Huff of aiding them through
the economic crisis attributed to
the death of OPA.
A 10 per cent cut in allotments to
the blind, aged. dependent children
and other general assistance cases
was necessitated last January be-
cause OF insufficient funds. Mr.. Huff
pointed out. Thus. with prices soar
ing in many food items even before
OPA expired. this group of Wash
ingtonians is even harder hit.
Payments in June to 2.278 old-ag ge
cases averaged $3.50; 1877 blind
cases, s36.75; 100 dependent chill
dren, s6512, and 1876 general assist
ance cases, S38 884.
District officials have hopes of re-
storing at least the 10 per cent cut
OF last January. but point out that
the District appropriation bill now
pending carries $500 900 less for the
public assistance purpose than was
asked. The payments listed, except
for general assistance cases. COM
prise also contributions from the
Federal Government.

u. ). Will Not Send
Troops 10 Palestine,
Authorities Assert
BY tbs Associated Press

A rejection is in the works here
for Britain's proposal that Amer
lean troops be sent to Palestine to
help maintain order during the pro-
jected immigration of 100000 Euro
pean Jews.
Authorities familiar with the long
negotiations between Washington
and London on the Palestine prob
lem said this Government has no
intention of sending military forces
to the Holy Land-not even the
single division which some British
officials have suggested.
The latest clue to American policy
came in White House statement
yesterday reporting on President
Truman's conference with a group
OF officials of the Jewish agency for
Palestine
The President Indicated" the
statement said, that the Govern
ment of the United States was pre-
pared to assume technical and
financial responsibility for the
transportation OF these Immigrants
from Europe to Palestine"
U. S. to Supply Ships.
Ofhcials left no doubt that this
means the United States is COM
mitted only to supply ships, several
million dollars and food and housing
assistance for the huge migration
The Jews are expected to be taken
by rail from Germany to various
ports and thence to
Palestine by boat.
Exactly how manv ships will be
required will depend on time table
yet to be worked out
Henry F. Grady, former Assistant
Secretary of State, will head a spe-
cial American mission to London
early this month to lay final plans
for the migration-ass assuming the
British government goes along with
the project. Mr.. Grady and his
group. working as representatives of
President Truman's cabinet. will
pick up where a committee of ex-
perts left off in technical planning
last week
In all OF the negotiations over
Palestine the question OF military
assistance has been one of primary
concern with the British. according
to information from top authorities
here. The British have been repre-
sented as worried over the prospects
Of serious conflict because of Arab
opposition TO increasing the number
Of Jews in Palestine.
Three Considerations.
Washington opposition to COM
any American troops to
the area appears to be based chiefly
on these considerations.
l. The political and military diff
culties in the way of placing Ameri-
can forces in any additional foreign
areas.
2. Since Palestine is British Icon
trolled under League of Nations
mandate, the responsibility for
order rests. in the
view. on Britain.
3. A belief on the part of many
officials here that the British have
considerably overestimated the pos
sibilities of conflict.
Some officials say the United
States might consider sending a few
observers to Palestine. but
the best information is that no such
move has been seriously discussed

! than the black markets under which
We have suffered so long Senator
Moore added:
Congress is always available for
emergency legislation
In later broadcast Stabiliza ton
Director Chester Bowles, who has
resigned effective July TO- cautioned
that living costs would double within
20 days if the present upward trend
of commodity prices continued.
! Mr. Bowles acknowledged that he
did not look for such thing to
happen in that period, but he as
serted that the first days price and
rent increases are only a taste of
what lies ahead if we accept any
thing less than really effective price
and rent control legisla ton.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics said its price index for
basic commodities climbed only 10
of l per cent yesterday after Mon
days sudden 81 per cent upsurge.
Demands Honest" Compromise.
AS the search on Capitol Hill went
on for some meeting ground for
friends and foes of OPA, Senator
Millikin, Republican, of Colorado, a
member of the Banking Committee,
said he would demand an honest"
compromise under which some of
the agencys past operations would
be circumscribed. Otherwise, he
added. the President may get the
same bill back.
The Republicans probably will
decide their course at a party con-
ference after Senator Taft has
Leader Barkley about substitute
for the Ohioan's profit amendment
criticized sharply by Mr.. Truman.
Senator Barkiey spent much of
the day yesterday at his Senate desk
penciling out drafts of q proposed
compromise He told reporters he
hadn't found satisfactory answer
He hoped, however, to have some
thing ready for this afternoon s
Banking Committee meeting at 3
pm.
The Democratic leader Wouldn t
say what is in his mind. Others
speculated that some amendment
may be worked out to link price rises
to cost increases without spelling out
the complex" Taft formula to which
Mr.. Truman objected.
Despite increased Democratic sup
port Senator Barley made it plain
he hopes to get a compromise
number of Republicans will support.
Opposition to Move Expected.
Other Senators said this may be
difficult. inaSmuch as any bill that
comes out Of the Banking Commit
tee now appears more likely to meet
the views of President Truman than
those o. OPA critics.
Administration leaders strength
ened their hold on the group yes
terday by naming Senator Burch.
Democrat, of Virginia. to fill a
vacancy
Senator Burch told a reporter
that he expects workable compro-
mise to be adopted, but he echoed a
common complaint.
Il hope" he said, that when we
work out something the administra-
tors of OPA will use better Judge
ment than they have in the past"
The Virginia Senator said a food
OF letters, with an unusual number
coming from housewives, apparent
ly was having its effect.
But Senator Mcclellan. Democrat.
of Arkansas, said he had received
% kilograms urging him to help
bury OPA." against 13 asking that
price controls be continued.

Hinrichs Quits Post
In Labor Statistics;
Fears Boom and Bust
BY jones Y. Newton

A forecast that the Nations econ
omy is headed for boom and bust
unless effective price control is re-
stored today accompanied the resig-
nation OF A. F. Hinrichs as head of
The Bureau of Labor Statistics. the
governmental agency which keeps
tab on living costs.
Mr.. Hinrichs. acting commissioner
of BIS for the last six years, re-
signed because of differences with
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbac ch.
The Secretary accepted the resigna-
ton and designated Mrs. Aryness J.
: Wlckens, Mr.. Hinrichs assistant. to
NIL the place temporarily. Mr..
SchWellenbach said he had not de-
clded on permanent head of the
important labor post.
Apparently the major reason for
the resignation was Secretary
Schwellenbach,s refusal to appoint
: Mr.. Hlnrich commissioner.
Nomination Opposed.
A letter dated May % from the
Secretary to Mr., Hinrichs stated:
l appreciate the loyalty and COM
petence with which you have served
me and the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics. I wish it were possible to
nominate you to the position of COM
missioner as I had planned, but the
opposition to your nomination is
such that it would be most unwise.'
The opposition referred to pre-
sumably came from organized labor.
During the late war years Mr.. Hin
richs was the center of labors at
tack on the bureaus cost of living
index. Fighting for a break in the
wartime wage yardstlck, the Little
Steel formula, labor leaders chal-
lenged the index as Inaccurate
Mr. Hinrichs also complained to!
neWsmen that he had been unable
to confer directly with Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach on matters of bureau i'm
portance and was forced to take his
problems to an assistant.
Mr.. Hinrichs' leaving. however.
Is unrelated TO the current con-
troversy over the death of OPA.
Instead, in resigning he said he
had delayed quitting for some time
in order to block "a bad appoint
ment" as his successor.
Mr.. Hinricks would not name the
man in question but described him,
IN his letter to Secretary Schwellen-
bach, as a person Il was sure would
ruin the bureau"
Basis Of Competence Urged.
At a news conference later the
retiring chief said the potential
nominee had been indorsed by both
the CIO and AFI.
Mr.. Hinrichs in his letter to MI.
Schwellenbach said he felt the job
should be filled primarily on the
basis Of professional competence"
rather than friendship with unions.
Mr. Schwellenbach promised in
accepting the resignation to consult |
the American Statistical Association /
and the American Economic Asso-
citation before naming a successor. /
The Secretary wrote that he was de- F!
termined the bureau shall be free
and independent and one upon
which every one can rely"
Mr., Hinrichs had been with the
Labor Department for u years. In
1910 when BIS Commissioner Isidor
Lubin transferred to the National
Defense Advisory Council and later
to the White House where he was a
special adviser to President Roose-
welt, Mr. Hinrichs was named acting
commissioner.

lently the name Of Mrs. Edith M.
Ford, said to be Mrs. Benson Ford.
The indictment charges Miss
Thrasher with causing fraudulently-
drawn checks to be transported in
interstate commerce in violation of
the National Stolen Property Act.
The checks, it was alleged, after
being cashed here were transported
in interstate commerce to a bank
in Michigan on which they were
drawn.
The indictment was returned be-
fore Justice Jennings Bailey of Dis
trict Court.
Assistant United States Attorney
Joseph F. Lawless, jr., who pre-
sented the case to the grand Jury,
said Miss Thrasher reportedly re-
ceived merchandise and cash for
the checks. Two of them, accord
ing to the indictment, were for $500
each, one for $3.50, another for $500
and one for 5000.
Mr.. Lawless said Miss Thrasher
is now being held in Detroit. She
has served time in Illinois, he said,
after having represented herself in
Chicago as the wife of member of
another prominent Detroit family.
Records here, however, did not show
the specific charge in Illinois.
A special return was made on the
indictment, the only one presented
in District Court yesterday, in order
to expedite the case, Mr.. Lawless
said. Under new rules Of criminal
procedure, 1t would be possible for
Miss Thrasher to plead to the in
dictment in Detroit If she wishes to
do so rather than to return here to
stand trial.
