Il made it very clear" Senator
Morse added to reporters. that I
consider a fllibuster unconscionable
and against the public interest
whether applied to the Case bill or
anything else"
The Oregon Senator is strongly
opposed to the Case bill, which, la
Dor leaders say. would take away
the right to strike under circum-
stances now considered legal. The
bill, sponsored by Representative
Case, Republican, Of South Dakota
already has been passed by the
House t.'"f# '"n -
The Senate Labor Committee ap-
pointed seven-man subcommittee
yesterday to rewrite the measure
and consider it along with other
pending labor bills.
Chairman Murray said most OF
the committee is opposed to any
Legislation that would "penalize OF
straitjacket" labor.
Senator Murray named himself
chairman of the drafting group
which will include Senators Pepper
Democrat, Of Florida; Ellender
Democrat, of louisiana; Tunnel
Democrat, of Delaware: La Toilette

DC Veteran HOUSING
Bill Sent 10 CONGRESS

Congress today has before it a bill
authorizing the District to spend ul
to s250,000 for veterans housing.
The measure was forwarded by
the Commissioners late yesterday
accompanied by letters to Speaker
Rayburn of the House and Chairman
Bilbo of the Senate District Com
mittee.
The city heads explained that the
money would be used to provide
water and sewer connections and
the necessary roads and streets at
tendant to erecting 900 temporary
dwellings on sites yet to be dis
closed. The houses are to be built
by the Federal Public Housing
Authority on Nationwide basis at
Federal expense. Rents are to be
fixed by FPHA.
A survey of the sites under con-
sideration has indicated the average
cost to the District per housing
unit will run about $40O.
Housing for veterans is almost
nonexistent" the Commissioners
declared. The Commissioners be-
lieve they are obligated to avail
themselves of this opportunity to
relieve the existing acute shortage"
Passage of the measure will have
to be followed by an appropriation
at later date.

Russian Press and Radio
Silent on Canadian Report

MOSCOW, Mar. (P).-The Soviet
press and radio were silent this
morning on the subject of the report
filed yesterday by Royal Canadian
Commission investigating alleged
Russian espionage in Canada.
Reports and comments, however,
were expected to follow in due time,
as Russian commentators have been
bitterly critical of Prime Minister
w. L. Mackenzie King and the
Canadian method of handling the
investigation.
The general impression here is
that the Russians are waiting for a
complete report on the Canadian
charges before making any COM
ment.
A prominent article in the Soviet
Press this morning accused Britain
of trying to create second Java
in Iran"
This was the only reference to
the Iranian situation in the Russian
press, although the radio announce
ment of last nights reception by
Premier Stain for the visiting
Iranian Premier Ahmed Qavam Es
Saltaneh was repeated.

Strike Against Added
Bellevue Costs Urqed

Members of the Bellevue Citizens
Association, all residents Of the Belle
vue housing project, We're advised
last night by w. B. Mccarthy, Wash
ington lawyer, not to pay the in
crease in cost of utilities which the
National Capital Housing Authority
has made and not to sign the prof
ferred new rental contracts until
the matter can be settled in court
Some 600 units at the development
were affected by the increase in the
cost Of heating which varies from
$3.50 to 81 per unit.
Addressing the large gathering
Mr.. Mccarthy said a clause in the
new contract would mean that any
one not working at the Naval Gun
Factory or the River Command
could be evicted at will by the NCHA.
The present contract has no such
clause. he said.
Many OF the residents of the prof.
ect, although formerly employed at
one of the Naval ablishments,
have been laid off and shifted to
other jobs, Richard Harwell, presi-
dent OF the association stated.
According to Mr.. Mccarthy, the
Bellevue project was built under an
Army, Navy, Merchant Marine ap-
preparation providing for such prof.
ects whenever a housing shortage
existed near a plant or military es-
tablishment. Since then the project
was declared surplus.
A committee to work for more
police protection in the area was
appointed, consisting of Robert
Hamilton, A. H Moore and F. Miller.
Steve v. Boggs was named dele
gate to the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
The meeting was held at the COM
munity hall at 2l1 Byer road S.W.

Exfradition Of Maid
In Carolina Abduction
DELAYED for Month

Rosemary johnson, 19-year-old
nursemaid also known as Loretta
Frances Brock, today won a delay
of more than month against ef-
forts to return her to North Caro-
lima to face charge of abducting
4-year-old Terry Taylor from Char
lotte. The child was recovered in
Annapolis last Thursday.
Justice Alexander Holtzoff of Dis
trict Court yesterday issued a writ
on habeas corpus petition seeking
the nursemaid's release and set
April 8 for hearing. At the same
time he ordered that extradition
proceedings be started in Municipal
Court. When those proceedings
came before Judge John P. Me-
Mahon today he granted a post
ponement until April 9.
In the hearing on the habeas
corpus writ yesterday it was testi-
fed the young woman had not
signed waiver of extradition at
Annapolis.
The hearing began yesterday
morning, but Justice Holtzoff con-
tinued the case until the afternoon
when Detective Capt. Frank N
Littlejohn of Charlotte admitted
under questioning by James j
Laughlin, attorney for the young
woman, he did not have a signed
waiver Of extradition. He expressed
the belief Annapolis authorities
had it.
In the afternoon Thomas G..
Basil, Annapolis police commission
er, testified no waiver had been
signed, but that the young woman
had indicated orally she was willing
to return to North Carolina.
Capt. Littlejohn was returning her
to North Carolina and had stopped
here. Before their expected de-
parture Saturday Mr.. Laughlin filed
the petition for the habeas corpus
writ and the captain was ordered to
show cause why 1t should not be
issued.
Among contentious is one by Mr.
Laughlin that the warrant held by
the North Carolina authorities for
the young woman is in itself invalid
The child was taken from her
home last week. The young woman
and Terry were identified at An
napolis, where Miss johnson had
obtained employment with naval
officers family. Terry returned with
her parents to Charlotte on Satur-
day.
