Guild of Musical Artists which in
sists that there be no reduction and
that final determination in the dis

said.

conditions which the AGMA seeks
to impose said George A. Sloan,
chairman of the associations board

the opera. particularly the future
OF the next season, is uncertain"
No AGMA official was available

NuernbergSummation
Concluded by Briton
BY the Assoeioted Press

| NUREMBERG, July 27-British
Prosecutor Sir Hartley w. Shaw
cross concluded his summation to-
day against % ranking NaZiS on
trial on war crimes charges with a
plea for "retribution to these guilty
men"
Winding up his eight-hour speech
which began at yesterdays session
of the International Military Tri-
bunal, Sir Hartley named each de-
fendant, from Hermann Goering
to the absent Martin Bormann and
then declared: These are guilty
men
"On their fate great issues must
still depend This trial must form
a milestone in the history of civili-
zation. not only bringing retribution
to these guilty men, but
also that the ordinary people OF
the world-and I make no distinc-
tion now between friend and foe
are now determined that the indi-
vidual must transcend the state"
Again and again the British pros
ecutor hammered home his thesis
that a careful campaign of decep-
tion, treachery, intimidation muir
der and blitzkrieg had been planned
deliberately by the men in the
dock.
Every one of these men knew
OF these plans at one stage or
another" he asserted. Every one
of them acquiesced in this tech
nique, knowing full well what it
must represent in terms of human
life"
AS he licked off the defendants,
one by one, he called the name of
Julius Streicher, the Nazi's No !
Jew batter, and demanded his exc
cution.
When he had finished the tribunal
adjourned until Monday morning
when it will hear the summation of

Truman Action Waited
|0n Plan 10 Clear Reds
From Federal Service

The start of program to set UP
permanent machinery to weed out
Communists and other subversive
elements in Government today
awaited action by President Tru-
man.
Chairman Randolph of the House
Civil Service Committee late yes
terday sent letter to Mr. Truman
urging him to authorize an interde-
partmental commission to study the
entire problem of keeping undesir-
ables out of the Federal service and
to report their recommendations to
the next session of Congress.
The suggestion for the special
commission was made last week by
the special House subcommittee in
vestigating subversive activities IN
the Government. The commission
would be composed of an official of
the Justice. War. Navy, State and
Treasury Departments and the Civil
Service Commission. These depart
ments were selected because they
have the most adequate and expert
enced investigative staffs.
Mr.. Randolph also urged that
Congress Immediately appropriate
sufficient funds to permit the Civil
Service Commission and the FBI to
make fingerprint and name checks
OF all Federal job applicants so that
their past records can be checked.
Loyalty Investigations in the Fed
eral service have virtually ceased
due to the Civil Service Commits
sion's inability to continue these in
yestigations due to lack of funds.

the actual drafting of the bill Nc
important opposition appeared in
the Senate and it was passed with
out the necessity of a roll call.
Obsolete Rules Invoked.
But in the House different story
developed. There the bill encoun-
tered the open obStructionist tactics
of the Republican leadership. Sent
to the Banking and Currency Com
mittee, its consideration was pre-
vented again and again by Re
publican members invoking two al
most obsolete rules. Under these
rules any member can force ad-
tournment if less than a quorum
OF the committee is present or If the
House itself is in session. These
rules are seldom invoked. If fol-
lowed rigidly the House committees
would accomplish very little work.
Mr.. Taft himself, cut off in the
midst Of his testimony before the
House committee. protested to Mi
nority Leader Martin against the
Republican tactics. Mr.. Martin re-
piled that they would continue tc
invoke the rules.
So the hearings were not COM
pleted and seemed unlikely to be ir
the short time remaining The
housing program was being delayed
for year. This meant:
Little or no progress on the 500 .0OC
loW-rent houses that were to be built
in four years with public funds.
Little prospect of insurance COM
panies engaging in large scale low
rent projects. Under the bill. insur-
ance companies undertaking to meet
the enormous demand for houses In
the $50 TO S40-a-month bracket
would have had guaranteed return
on their investment.
Little planning by local commit
mites. The bill would appropriate
S25 100000 to match, dollar-for dol
lar, local planning funds.
Little Federal research aimed at
developing lower building costs.
BIighted Areas In Cities.
Little improvement of bhghted
residential areas in the cities. The
bill provides subsidies to aid private
redevelopment of slum sections and
areas in which there has been gen.
eral deterioration. This is a thing
incidentally, that was formerly de-
manded by the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards, now a prin-
cipal opponent of the bill
Little incentive to decrease interest
rates on low-priced houses. The bill
would enable FHA to provide such
incentive.
Little. if any. building by cooper
ative organizations.
Little coordination between the
planners of public and private nous
ing.
The bill has been indorSed by prac-
tlcally every kind Of civic organiza-
ton. Most significantly. it has had
the earnest support of the National
Conference of Mayors. Mayors meet
the housing problem face to face.
They have wanted the Wagner-El-
