of its ownership o. this tax free

Senate Subcommittee
Approves Remaining
Of Judge Bentley

A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
today unanimously approved the
denomination of Judge Fay l.. Bent
ley of Juvenile Court.
With Chairman McCarran carry
ing the proxies of the other sub
committee members, Senator East
man, Democrat, Of Mississippi and
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota, the entire hearing
required less than five minutes.
Only handful of spectators were
present. Senator McCarran asked
If there were any protests to the re-
nomination Of Judge Bentley to her
third six-year term and heard none.
He then cast his and the proxy
votes for approval. The recommen-
dation, which now goes to the full
committee, is tantamount to con-
firmation of the appointment.
Judge Bentley was first appointed
on october Is, 1888, by President
Roosevelt. She was reaffirmed for
a second term in 1910 after the
subcommittee hearing the matter
deliberated for nearly month. At
that time several protests were
lodged against Judge Bentley.
Born in Bloomington, ILL.,, Judge
Bentley studied social work at the
University of Chicago under the
late Jane Addams. She came to
Washington in 1920 to investigate
for the Bureau of Internal Revenue
taxes paid on goods manufactured
by child labor
Later she was affiliated with the
Children's Bureau of the Labor De-
partment and then was director OF
school attendance and work per-
mits for the Board of Education.

for a Federal aid payment of some
where between 40 and so per cent.
The District government, however,
under the new measure has to pay
80 per cent of the net cost. This net
item was clarified by an embodiment
adopted by the committee today on
recommendation Of the District Com
missioners.
Three Hospitals Participate.
Briefly the financing plan is as
follows:
| The Federal Government is au-
thorized to appropriate $35, ,000, 900
for rebuilding and renovating hos
pitfalls and for construction of a new
hospital center In which three hos
pitfalls here are now committed to
participate Emergency, Garfield
and Episcopal.
These three hospitals would join
in a center estimated to cost some
where between $4,000, 900 and S20.-
100000. The center would be built
by the Federal Works Agency.
The three hospitals participating
would turn over their complete
physical plants to the Government
or sell them and turn over the
resultant cash.
This would constitute the entire
contribution of the three institutions
to the center. The value of these
three plants is estimated at about
S. ,0oo, 900.
| Districts Share of Cost.
If the center cost $4,000, 900 and
SIS, 90, 900 is realized from the hospital
plants, this would leave $4,000, 900
which would be paid for by the
District and the Federal govern
ments.
The District would pay 30 per cent
of the $10,000,0 900, or about S., 600, 900.
leaving about $1,000, 900 or 5000 900
to be provided by the Federal Gov
ernment in the form of an outright
grant.
The Government would hold title
luntil the center was completed, then
would transfer it to private agen-
cies." Under the bill a corporation
could be set up to own and operate
the center.
No Funds Provided In Bill.
The measure appropriates no
money. Funds would have to be
appropriated by Congress later.
The method for the District to
meet its share of the cost is left for
future determination by Congress.
The amendment, adopted by the
committee after approval by Alan
Johnstone, general counsel of the
FWA, reads:
"The District of Columbia shall be
entitled to 80 per centum of the sale
price of any of the properties sold by
the Federal Works administrator
under section 2 of this act, other
than properties the value of which
deducted from the gross amount
expended, to determine the net
amount upon which the 30 per CEN
tum to be charged against the Dis
/ trict of Columbia is computed, and
the District of Columbia shall also
be entitled to receive 80 per centum
of any rentals received from the
leasing of any of the hospital facili-
ties acquired or constructed by the
Federal Works administrator under
this act. The amounts which may
! be due the District hereunder shall
be credited on the amount owed the
Government by the District Of Co.

That was the situation as the Il

Meanwhile, Just In case OPA is
revived, the Senate voted to cut
its operating funds by $4,000 0ot
and slapped ban on use of any Of
the money for price control "propa
ganda.' Senator Ball, Republican
OF Minnesota said the "propaganda'
rider was inserted because OPA off.

OF legislation extending price con.
trols without amendment
The House voted OPA s106 ,OOO..

to s56,oo0,000.
Senator Ball said the propaganda
rider was aimed only at barring
OPA officials from trying to stir ur
the public to force Congress to vote
one way or another on the price
control issue. Senator McKellar
Democrat, of Tennessee. joined Sem
ator Ball in defending the rider
against criticism from Senator Muir
dock, Democrat, Of Utah.
Provides for Review.
In difference to the possibility of q
revival Of an OPA which will have
a Job to do, the Senate provided for
review Of the agency's financial
needs within 80 days after passage
OF legislation extending it.
The house conferees were ex-
pected to propose to the Senate
members today that they cut from
the revival bill all amendments
banning future price ceilings on
meat, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese
milk or other dairy products, cot
tonseed, soybeans. grain, livestock
or poultry feed and tobacco; also
petroleum, so long as supply meets
demand.
Word was circulated on Capitol
Hill, however, that Mr.. Truman had
told Democratic leaders that II the
food exemption amendments were
stricken he would sign the Senate
bill, Notwithstanding any other OBJ
jections. The White House itself
was silent.
The amendment-heavy Senate
bill went to conference after the
House, by a 2l1 to "a vote refused
yesterday to accept it. This was
a procedural victory for the ad-
ministration since the conference
route provides another opportunity
to write bill more to the Presi-
dents liking.
