Incidentally, this bill would stop
up the loophole in present law under
which a defeated member of the
House or Senate, seeking to settle
down in comparative ease, can get
himself appointed to Federal post,
serve a brief time and then retire
with full but unpaid-for credit for
all the years he may have served
in Congress.
Costs Lag Behind Other Branches.
As to professional and clerical help
needed by congressional committees
and members, the studies of the
La Toilette -Monroney group have
brought out some amazing data
showing how much Congress has
been attempting to do on how little
money and staff, in comparison with
the huge executive agencies it is
supposed to keep under legislative
control.
For one thing, the size of the
problem with which Congress has
been struggling is indicated in a
statistical table showing that while
normal Federal expenditures (exclu-
sive of military outlays, interest ON
debt and debt retirement increased
from less than half billion dollars
to more than 10h billion between
1900 and 1914, or by more than 81
times, the amount Congress spent on
itself increased less than four times
or from 81 ,442 900 to $14,600000
This contrast is made more strik-
ing by the fact that during the first
II years of this period, Federal de-
partment expenditures and those of
the congressional household re-
manned relatively parallel. There
after, however, the costs of the ex-
ecutive branch Zoomed while Con-
gress held its own costs down to
about the same old rate of increase
Mr.. Monroney drew contrasts
showing how this affected the work
of Congress. He put it this way:
while we struggle to pass policy
making legislation, we rely on a
legal staff that is hopelessly small
and inadequate The House Draft
ing Service for 1914 had only five
attorneys and the Senate three, al
Though they are allowed five. The
total cost was $4,000. (For this
yegr there are IL in all, with an
outlay of $90,000)

ART EXHIBIT AT DETROIT UR-
BAN LEAGUE

An exhibition of work by American
artists will open in Detroit, Michigan,
at the Urban League, and will con-
tinue from May 80 to June g.. The
exhibition, entitled "A Tribute to the
Negro People," is sponsored by the
New Masses, national weekly publ
cation, with the assistance of the Ma
tional Negro Congress, whose conven
ton is being held in Detroit during
these same days.
The Negro people have as great a
contribution to make in the graphic
and plastic arts as they have made in
music, once given the opportunity.
Proof lies in the work of the few Ne
gro artists who have managed to
come through the many barriers
raised. The people Of this country are
denied rich and fruitful cultural con-
tributions to the development of our
democracy by the very denial and
jim-crow practices which stand as bar
riers against the Negro people and ex-
clude them from participation in ma
jor exhibits.

The Institutes action was attrib-
dted partly TO the Gees alleged de-
lay in signing the 1916 sugar crop

with a CCC decision fixing the terms
of the United States-Puerto Rico

sugar.

.21-Nation Peace Talks
Held Near With Report
|0f Accord on Italy
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, July 3.-The possibility
that a 21-nation peace confer
ence might be convened here in
a matter of weeks was forecast
today amid indications that the
Foreign Ministers Council was
near agreement on all important
phases of the Italian peace
treaty.
Chief point still to be resolved by
the four Foreign Ministers was the
question of how the city of Trieste
should be administered under a
French proposal for International
ization on which the Council agreed
in principle yesterday.
There was widespread belief
however, that this issue would moi
prove too difficult and that United
States Secretary of State Byrnes
might realize his desire that a gen.
elal peace conference be convoked
before the end of the month.
MolotOv Sees Accord.
Soviet Foreign Minister Moloto,
was quoted by a British spokesman
as saying after yesterdays Counci
meeting that the four powers hal
come SO close to settling the Trieste
problem that a few more talk>
should produce concrete propose
which would be taken before peace
conference.
The meeting yesterday ended
with the United States and Grea.
Britain holding out for United Ma !
tions supervision of an interna
tlonalized Trieste while Russia sno
France favored placing the admin
istration under the Big Four.
Mr. Byrnes was said to have told
the other Foreign Ministers that the
United States only could agree tc
the internationalization proposal il
the United Nations were given re-
sponSibility for the integrity and
administration of the zone. He helo
that the governor of the ares
should be appointed by the United
Nations and argued that U. N
prestige would add greatly to tn.
zones trade and commerce.
L. n. Charter Cited.
Mr. Molotov countered with tn,
argument that the United Nation!
Charter did not provide for ths
U. N. taking over any territory ex.
cept under a trusteesflip and that
there had been no proposal to create
trusteeship over Trieste.
The Soviet Foreign Minister hac
accepted the French proposed in
ternationalization plan Tuesday
yielding on his insistence that the
disputed city should go to Yugo-
Slavia. The western powers origi-
nally had insisted that it go to Italy
Mr.. Byrnes and British Foreign
Secretary Bevin also were reported
to have taken the stand Yesterday
that the Foreign Ministers should
not attempt to draft a future con-
stitution for the international zone
but should leave this to the Peace
Conference. where others, Including
both Italy and Yugoslavia, could be
heard.
Georges Bidault. French President
and Foreign Minister. suggested the
Council compromise by submitting
any plan they might draw up for
control of the zone TO both the U, N
and the Peace Conference
