| OF price and rent control" Mr.
Bowles declared that the alterna.
tive is imitation and failure to build
houses for veterans.
Housing chief Wilson w. Wyatt
lashlng out at what he described
as 'one of the biggest lobbies that
has ever operated against essential
legislation" declared that if Con-
gress defeats the housing bill the
goal of $1,000 homes for veterans
IN two years cannot be reached.
He contended that the motives
OF those lobbying against the hous-
ing bill ARE to secure profits at the
expense of veterans by breaking
price ceilings on building materials. !"
The Bowles and Wyatt statements
were supplemented by others from
OPA Administrator Paul Porter,
civilian production chief John D.
Small, and Chairman w. Willard
Wirtz of the Wage Sterilization
Board.
Mr.. Wirtz said the threatened
fund withdrawal from his agency
would have disastrous consequences
not only upon the efficiency of the
board, but upon the effectiveness of
the entire ge-price program
established little more than two
weeks ago."
Mr.. Small and Mr.. Porter SINH
larly said they would be hamstrung
without the money they asked.
Those close to Mr.. Bowles gave
the former OPA chief full credit for
organizing the statement barrage.
His own caustic declaration brought
quick reaction from Republican
ranks.
Votes of No Confidence.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
told reporter:
"The votes in Congress are in ef-
feet votes of no confidence in Ches-
ter Bowles, and indicate disapproval
OF his methods, manners and his
theories. If he wants Congress to
give unlimited support to a program
to prevent imitation, I suggest that
Mr.. Bowles resign and let the Presi-
dent appoint less egotistical and
opinionated administrator"
Representative Wolcott, Republi-
can, of Michigan described Mr..
Bowles' criticism of congressional
actions as pure bunk and dema-
goguery."
Meanwhile, the Veterans League
Of America, in statement by its
legislative committee chairman.
Brig. Gen. H. c. Holdridge, declared
that special groups by their snip
ing attacks on the housing pro-
gram and stabilization structure
are about to make a farce out of
the promises made by our people
and Government to returning serv-
cemen."

matters to the courts are adopted
Merges House Committee
A different plan was proposed a
to the House District Committee
While it had been assumed by OBJ.
servers this committee also would
be abolished eventually If Con-
gress adopted what could be called
a self rule" plan, the formal re-
port proposed its continuation as a
part Of the merger of a number OF
present committees with a reor-
ganized House Committee on Civil
Service. Other House groups pro-
posed to be put into this grouping
were committees on civil service
the census, and postoff1ces and post
roads.
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia, dissented from the pro-
posal to reduce the 48 standing COM
mlttees of the House to 18, without
specifying whether this had any
reference to the proposed treatment
of the House District Committee.
In a general discussion of the
problems of limited congressional
time, the report said q vast amount
OF testimony taken during the year
revealed a high percentage" of
congressional time was devoted to
matters OF purely local or petty
Importance"
Time-C0nsuming Task.
More time is consumed in serv-
ing as the city council for the Dis
trict than is spent on matters in
volving great Importance to the
Nation it continued.
Your committee believes that
Congress should jealousy guard it's
time for ample debate and consider
alton of matters of national and
international Importance. 1t seems
hardly consistent to hear the ex-
cuse that congressional calendars
are too crowded to take up and
discuss issues of great national in
terest when so much time is de-
voted to these minor matters"
Along the same thought, the re-
port adds that because of lack of
congressional time many matters of
a policy nature are decided by ex-
ecutive departments or bureaus.
Delegation Of powers to govern the
operation of many programs, is a
common practice. Yet" it adds,
Congress still tenaciously clings to
many Insignificant details which
would far better be handled by the
executive departments and the
courts"
Called "Extraneous Workload."
With specific reference to the Dis
trict, the report states:
The Nation cannot afford the
luxury Of having it's national legis-
lative body and the District commit
tees in both the House and Senate
perform the duties of city council
for the District of Columbia.
I'm order to relieve Congress of
this extraneous workload and en-
able it to devote full attention toI
national legislation. we recommend
that a plan for self rule for the Dis
trict be provided as early as pos
sible.
I'VE do not assume the respon-
sibility of suggesting what plan
should be adopted for handling the
municipal affairs of the District. but
we do recommend that steps be
taken Immediately to provide for
a commission of Wash
tngton residents to prepare a suit
able city charter and that it be SUBJ
mitted by referendum to the citi-
zens of the District for their ap-
proval or rejection.
I'VE recommend that Congress
authorize this referendum as soon
as satisfactory self government
city charter is drafted and that on
its adoption legislation be intro
duced to make it effective"

Writer Finds Dairen
Is Armed Red Camp,
Is Hustled Away
By Richord Cushinu

Associotsd Press Foreign Correspondent
MUKDEN, Feb. 20 Delayed "A
high Soviet officer in Mukden ac-
knowledged today that Japanese
prisoners of war had been shipped
to Siberia and nom Russians told
me In Dairen that some prisoners
were forced to dismantle Manchu-
rian industries for the Russians.
Dairen and environs are an
armed Russian camp, two colleagues
and Learned on a 25-hour visit to
that Southern Manchurian port
which ended abruptly yesterday
when-under virtual arrest-we
were hustled on to an outgoing
train by three husky, armed Rus
sian soldiers.
The first American correspondents
to visit Dairen, we were given no
opportunity to see that city of 900,-
600 which under the Chinese Rus
sian treaty is supposed to be jointly
operated by China and Russia.
Red Commander Is Firm.
1t. Gen. Georgi Kirilovitch Koslov,
Soviet commander at Dairen, took
the position that we were on Rus
sian soil. that our China theater
credentials were no good and we
were definitely off our beat.
On our return to Mukden, Maj.
Gen. Andrei Kovtoun- -Stankevitch,
Russian commandant In Mukden,
told us in an interview that after
the Japanese in the Mukden area
were disarmed they were sent to ST.
IBERIA by train.
Where they. were sent or for what
purpose he did not profess to know.
Questioned whether the Japanese
were sent north as prison labor as
German captives had been assigned
to reconstruction work in Russia,
Gen. Kovtoun-Stankevitch expressed
surprise that such question could
be asked.
Excursion Terminated.
! All he knew, he said, was that
the Japanese were disarmed and
sent to Siberian camps. He didn't
know what happened to them after
that.
On our suddenly terminated ex-
cursion to Dairen, all that we were
able to see and hear came when
we managed separately to elude a
Russian colonel who had been as
signed to watch us until we could
be escorted out of town.
In those hriaf ,Iy,o,,orJoS ra.szI.
we saw enough to convince us that
Russian troops occupy the great
port of Dairen in strength.
A Dairen engineer who worked
in the big Japanese steel works at
Anshan, north of Dairen, told me
the Russians took possibly 1000
Japanese war prisoners to Anshan
last September and had them dis
mantle the plant in II days.
Little Stripping Done.
Chinese civilians said little strip
ping was done in Dairen.
They knew little about what had
happened to the Japanese prisoners,
except that they had been sent
north, but they contended the 20o.-
900 or more Japanese civilians left
In Dairen were better treated than
the Chinese by the Russians.
We don't like to work for the
Soviets," one of them told us. You
never know what will happen to you
when they don't need you any
more"
1t was impossible to get the Soviet
side Of such reports The Russians
turned aside all questions by saying,
in effect, that whatever they were
doing in Dairen was nobody's busi-
ness but Russias.
