extension of the high-speed trolley
system to their community and also

Bill Boosting Veteran
Surplus Priority Rights
lis Sent 10 Truman
By the Associated Press

Legislation giving veterans a
higher place in the line of leftover
war goods buyers was completed by
Congress late yesterday and sent to
President Truman.
At the same time, the Senate's
Special Defense Committee again
prodded Army, Navy and surplus
officials to bring back more scarce
construction machinery and mate
rials from war areas and get them
in the hands of contractors and
builders.
The veterans priority bill is aimed
to cure complaints of ex-servicemen
that other buyers have skinned the
cream of goods at surplus sales be-
fore their turn came
1t directs the War Assets Admin
at which they will have first call.
1t also advances veterans to second
place, just behind Federal agencies,
in the lineup of those permitted to
buy excess war goods. At present,
State and local governments and
the small business corporation rank
ahead of the veterans.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, chairman Of the Senate in
vestigating committee once headed
by President Truman, asserted that
the Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion has taken no action
since committee members reported
that many war items suitable for
civilian use are still overseas.
Rear Admiral C. H. Cotter, ap-
pearing before the committee for
the Navy, testified that 10 shiploads
of critical items from the Pacific
already have been unloaded, 42 ships
are en- route and 26 more are being
loaded with various items includ-
ing building equipment and ma
terials.
Richard Chiles. machinery chief
for the War Assets Administration,
testified that surplus officials could
not trust" Army information about
surplus construction machines. He
said the WAA was forced to reim-
burse Florida buyers about $500
each for some Grated tractors pur-
chased as standard" items at
Granite City, Ill, and found later
to be equipped with snow plows,
enclosed cabins and other winter
| features.

tContlnued from FIRST Pageo
House changes amount to repeal
of price control"
No Increase in designations.
The official said that thus far
there has been no increase in the
quit rate" among OPA employees. He
reported that the theme of Mr.. Por-
ter's talk will be that the House bill
is not the final decision of Con-
gress.'
Representative Wolcott, Repub-
llcan, of Michigan declared in a
broadcast last night that the fear
should not be that Congress will
emasculate price control-the fear
should be that our economy, through
the misadministration of price con-
troll, will not only be emasculated,
but destroyed.'
Mr.. Wolcott, ranking Republican
on the House Banking Committee,
defending the action of the House in
amending the bill, said:
The House did not. as Mr.. Bowie.
asserts, and as Mr.. Paul Porter re-
iterates, provide for any formula
which would weaken the clear in
tentlon of the Congress of the United
States, that price and rent and wage
controls should be continued with
sensible and intelligent administra-
ton"

the penal system was promised by
James V. Bennett, its director. AL
though the congressional committee
suggested that Mr.. Bennett be asked
to appoint new corrections head,
he refused to comment on whether
he preferred Mr.. Gill or a new di-
rector. Mr.. Gill served as his spe-
cial assistant before taking the Dis
trict job.
A hard fight against any elimina-
ton of civil service in the District
was promised by Mr.. Kogod. Re-
ferring to the proposal that the Po-
lice Department be allowed to ap-
point its own employees. he asserted
that every Congressman will want
some constituent of his in the de-
partment.
During the House hearings the
committee was trying to extract
from every witness the opinion that
civil service interfered with opera

Kogod Promises Cooperation.
Mr. Kogod also declared that the
report shows the need for home rule
in the District. 1t said, he noted,
that either Congress must accept its
responsibility to govern the District
properly or its citizens must be al
lowed to govern themselves.
THE only thing 1 want to see is
that the citizens participate" Mr..
Kogod commented. Il am not in
terested in whether the Welfare
Board has part in it or not, and

movement to improve the penal sys-

Mrs. Moses was the only member
who pointed out that in the past
the Welfare Board has maintained
that it could best administer the
penal system and needed only the
cooperation of the commissioners
and Congress in providing sufficient
funds.
The committee. headed by Rep
reSentative Hebert, now has recog-
nized the need for adequate support,
she emphasized, in giving her own
consent to separate correction de-

Russians Plan Easter
Rites Riva|ing Those
Before Revolution
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, April 2O.-Russia pre-
pared today for an Easter celebra-
ton which churchmen said they
anticipated would be the greatest
since the revolution, with church
bells ringing out the Easter tidings
for the first time in two decades
Russian churches will begin their
ceremonies shortly before midnight
tonight and carry on to the dawn.
Hundreds of thousands are expected
to pack every church in the capital
and reports indicate the same thing
will take place throughout the
Soviet Union.
This, the first peacetime Easter,
was expected to see many Red Army
officers and soldiers and Russian
youths participating in the religious
ceremonies.
Priests predicted that MoscoW's
church-goers would number in the
neighborhood of a million persons
by noon tomorrow. They observed
that Easter church throngs had
grown larger throughout the war,
with last years the largest since the
revolution.
Some churchmen said they felt
this Easter of 1916 would resemble
an ancient Russian Easter celebra-
ton.
Although there are not many bells
still hanging in MoscoWs churches,
there are enough to fill the night air
with sound, if not with the loud
clamor of old. The church and
state now are busy on program of
restoring bells at state cost.
Patriarch Alexei of Moscow and
all the Russias will read tonight S
celebrations at mass in Bogoyav-
lenSki Cathedral.

BY the Associoted Press
The cost of low-priced homes has
jumped an average of 65.1 per cent
since 1910, the National Housing
Agency reported today, blaming real
estate imitation.
Such dwellings-those which sold
for $4,000 or less in 1940-have "sky-
rocketed" an average of 96.3 per
cent in the Pacific Coast States, the
agency said in releasing findings of
a survey completed a fortnight ago.
Real estate imitation has hit all
sections of the country, but the
northeastern sect n-stretching
from Maine to Wisconsin-has had
price increases that are slightly be-
low the national average" MIA said.
The rise has been greater for
small homes than those in the me-
dium-price ($6,000 to $4,000
bracket, it was stated, and the in
crease has accelerated since VI day
on all types of property-homes,
building lots and raw land.

without thought of propaganda
which apparently is so frightening
whenever Soviet citizen walks onto
platform.
A husky, bushy-haired man of
expressive features, Mr.. Simonov,
who is a playwright as we'll as a
newspaper writer, admitted that
light comedies are more popular
than plays about the struggle against
Fascism. However. he said. it is
too early "for us writer's everywhere
to demobiliZe our spirits
Would Hang Franco.
OF Franco, he said:
Il am not bloodthirsty man, but
I should be glad to hang him myself
If he got thinner, it wouldn' t
make me like him any better. 8
should like to hang him for the
simple reason that he reminds me
of Fascism.'
Gen. Galaktionov, wearing the
uniform of his rank, confined his
remarks to an expression of con-
fldence that the peoples of the
United States and Russia could
work together in peace as they had
fought together in war.
Contact on every level and on
every line. such as the one which
brings us together in this room to-
day is the best way of achieving
progress" !" he said.
I'VE should start not with our
differences, but with those things
held in common" he added.
Later, the stocky general told re-
porters through an interpreter of
foggy weather over Newfoundland
He said Mr.. Ehrenburg was least
comfortable on the trip because he
does not like to travel by plane.
Introduced by Forrest.
Mr.. Forrest said in introducing
the speakers that MI. Simonov had
come from Tokyo by way of Moscow
He expressed gratitude for the will
ingness of the visitors to make the
long, inconvenient trip and said he
hoped 1t would be but the tlrSt OF a
series of interchanges between the
news-gathering professions and cul-
tural communities of the two ma
tions.
In balloting yesterday, the men,
bers reelected Mr.. Forrest, Mr.

Program 10 Salvage
Lives Of Offenders
Stressed by Probers

One of the most significant fea-
lures in the Hebert Subcommittee
jail report is the recommendation
for far-sighted, humane program
in the rehabilitation of both youth
ful and adult offenders in the
District.
Although oyershadowed yesterday
by the more sensational recon-
mendations concerning the over
hauling of the Districts penal
system, the rehabilitation feature of
the report is considered by members
of the committee as one of the most
important items.
Before leaving the city today. Rep
resentative Hebert, Democrat. Of
Louisiana, said the subcommittee
considered that part of its report
"vitally important" and expressed
the hope that it would be acted on
promptly.
The committee recommended
prompt attention be given TO the
need for setting up facilities for the
treatment for alcoholic cases. estab-
lishment of prison employment
and vocational training program,
application of the indeterminate
sentencing procedure in misde-
meanor cases. the integration of the
probation and parole systems and
specialized procedures for handling
young. reformable offenders, similar
to the youth correction methods
followed in California and other
States.
In the latter connection the HeberI
subcommittee suggested close study
be given to the corrections plan for
dealing with offenders which has
been incorporated in a bill pending
before the House.
The measure would set up a ma
tional board of corrections composed
of 10 members appointed by the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
The board would make recommended
tions on the length of sentences to
courts throughout the country.
One of the boards principle duties
would be a program designed to
protect the public and aid youthful
lawbreakers by correcting the anti
social tendencies of these youths.
Under the bill, youth authority
division would be set up to take care
of youthful offenders. These pris-
oners would be sent to various types
of institutions. including training
schools, hospitals, farms, forestry
and other camps. The ultimate aim
would be for purposes of correction
rather than punishment.
Although the Hebert group die
not specifically ask that the District
follow this pattern. it indicated
something along these lines should
be worked out for Washington.
''Of course, We need strong jails
and efficient guards" one member
said. But if we are wise we will be
just as much concerned about work
ing out a system whereby we car
nip criminal careers in the bud anC
make decent. law-abiding citizens
out of many frst-time offenders ano
callow youths who go wrong be-
cause of the lack of careful train
ing and supervision"

The Arab League is composed of

and Lebanon-occupy the vast Ara
bian peninsula and territory north
Of it. The seventh, Egypt, is linked
with the others by its Sinai penin-
sula at the head of the Red sea.
The combined area of the organ
lied Arab states is about half that
Of the United States. Saudi Arabia,
more than three times the size Of
Texas, is the largest of the group,
and the least settled. Lebanon, less
than half as large as New Jersey.
is the smallest, and has the densest
population. With individual varia-
tions, the Arab League nations
share the oasis and desert charac-
teristics of this hot, dry slice of
the globe. In Egypt, for example,
the Nile is a fertile ribbon of green
between deserts. Iraq has the life
giving systems of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers.
