Bay Fishing Trips
For District JoH
Inmates Urqed

A suggestion that inmates Of
District Jail be permitted to 60 on
supervised fishing trips in Chesa-
peake Bay was made last night by
Donald Clemmer, new director OF
the Department OF Correction.
MIR. Clemmer said he was in
favor of employing "a few trusted
men, to catch fish for use in city
institutions. not only as "a valuable
source of food at a very reasonable
cost, but as a means of rehabilitat-
ing prisoners who show potential
tiles of resuming a useful position
in society.
Mr.. Clemmer's observations were
part of a radio broadcast over Sta
ton WRC on "Tomorrow's Wash
ington."
Speaking on the same program,
Director Of Public Welfare Ray l..
Huff urged the expansion Of facil-
tiles at Laurel, Md, for the care
and rehabilitation OF Washington s
feeble minded and delinquent chill
dren.
About 1.400 Washington children
who should be in an institution of
this type are permitted to roam the
city's streets or are confined to
their homes without proper medical
care, because OF insufficient facilities
Mr.. Huff pointed out.

the only standards used by us in
selecting people and white and col
cred applicants are given equal con-
sideration," Mr.. Hetzel declared.
Segregation Custom Cited.
Asked why segregation policies
were used i'll his Office, Mr.. Hetzel
replied that 1t was done according
to the customs of the community. /"
Mr.. Hetzel explained that USES
offices in the Northern States don't
have segregation policies in connec-
tionswith filing applications and in
terviewing persons, but that the
Southern States do. In many re-
spects Washington is Southern
community, Mr.. Hetzel declared,
pointing to segregation policy here
in public schools and iii recreation
centers.
Mr.. Hetzel emphasized, however,
that in the matter of certifying ap-
plicants to Government agencies for
employment. there is absolutely no
discrimination.
Its not a matter of whether they
are white or colored." Mr.. Hetzel
said. ITS the applicants quail
fications and aptitude to do the Job
that counts"

Major Split Develops
In Congress Probes
OF Election Campaigns

A major row broke into the open
today over congressional investiga-
ton of this years election CAM
paigns.
The issues which sharply split two
special committees set up to do the
job are:
l. How fast the inquiries should
proceed.
2. The procedure to be followed
in certain cases, such as looking into
the role of the CLOS Political Action
Committee.
Representative Rankin of Missis-
sippi announced yesterday he has
ordered thorough investigation"
of the Political Action Committee
by the staff Of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities. He Is
senior member on the committee in
the absence OF Chairman Wood of
Georgia.
Mr.. Rankin said the House group
particularly would check reports
OF lobbying activity by the CLIO and
also any connection with ''subversive
activities"
Meanwhile the fuss was pointed
up by a statement from Repre-
sentative Allen, Republican, of Illi-
nois that election law violations
ARE being encouraged" by what he
termed committee 'stalling and
delay"
Mr.. Allen, No. l Republican on
the House Campaign Expenditures
Committee, told reporter he has
considered resigning because he is
so disguised with the lack OF action
by his group. The committee has
not met since Speaker Rayburn
named it early this month.
Mr.. Allen said he cannot under
stand" why Representative O'Neal,
Democrat, of Kentucky has not
started an investigation.
Mr.. O'Neal, at his home In
Louisville, KY, said that "organiza-
ton of the committee will start
soon"
There have been reports that
Mr.. O'Neal intends to withdraw
from the group, but no one in
authority has been willing to COM
ment on them.
Mr.. Allen acknowledged that
there will be quite a fight" over
the CLIO when the committee does
begin operations.
The senate campaign Expenditures
committee conducted hearings in
July on the Montana primary, but
controversy interrupted and it has
not acted since. An aide said to-
day, however, that Chairman Ellen
der, Democrat, of Lousinia, expects
to call a meeting the first OF
September.

Republicans Name Watkins
To Oppose Murdoch in Utoh

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 81 (P).-
Utah's congressional slate for the
general election appeared complete
today as Arthur C. Watkins, Orem
fruit grower, was far out in front in
the runoff primary for the Repub-
lican nomination for the Senate
and William A. Dawson appeared to
be the COPS candidate for second
district representative.
Mr.. Watkins led William L. Baker
of Provo, 10,891 to $685., in unof-
fetal returns from 1873 of $50 pre-
cincts. Mr.. Dawson was ahead of
Lee Neff Taylor, Salt Lake City at
torney, 4,577 to 1911, in unofiicial
returns from 1853 of 1872 precincts.
Mr.. Watkins faces Senator Muir
dock, Democrat, and Mr.. Dawson,
Davis County attorney, would op-
pose Representative Robinson, Dem
ocrat. in November.
The runo1 yesterday was necessi-
tated when none of the three Re-
publican candidates for the Senate
nomination nor the three COP
aspirants to the second district
nomination polled clear majorities
in July.
