The reply said that should dam
age occur the responsibility would
rest on the Dutch for starting hos
tilities.

ticularly concerned over the posi-
bility of "scorched earth" tactics in
the Sumatra oil fields. One Ameri-

Dutch Sharply. Rebluke :.
Indian in u. N. Session

LAKE SUCCESS, July % (P).-
The Netherlands delivered a sharp
rebuke to an Indian representative
yesterday for injecting the Indo-
nesian, question into q debate in
the United Nations Economic and
Social Council.
Indian Delegate R. K. Nehru
touched off the exchange by express
ing for the second time India's
deep sympathy for the Indonesians.
Nehru also denounced the use of
force by European powers to sup
press independence moves in Asia.
]. w. Beyen, Netherlands repre-
sentative, challenged the propri-
ETY. of raising the issue in the Eco
nomic and Social Council, which
is barred by the U. N. charter from
discussing political problems.
He said this was the second time
the Indian delegate had injected
this question into the Council de-
bate, although declaring each time
that he did not want to indulge
in political propaganda.
The only explanation for the In
dian delegates action, Mr.. Beyen
said, is that he seems to be car
ried away by his emotions.
Mr.. Beyen asserted that Mr.. Neh-
rus remarks were "out of order"
and would seem to Invite re-

LANCER Orders Figures.
On RetirementbiIICosf'
For January Passage
By Joseph YOUNG

In an effort to win quick Senate
approval next January of the Fed
eral retirement bill, Chairman Lam
ger Of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee has ordered the Committees
investigative staff to prepare up-to-
date cost estimates of the measure,
it was learned today.
Bitterly disappointed over the
Senate's failure to pass the measure,
which already has won House ap-
proval, Senator LANCER feels that a
businesslike estimate OF the
measures cost will assure its enact
ment early next year.
Opponent Wanted Cost Data.
The confusion resulting from CON.
flicting cost estimates was the main
factor in the bills failure to win
Senate approval. Senator Williams,
Republican, Of Delaware, who led
the opposition to the bill. has said
that he Is not against liberalizing
the civil service retirement system
but that he feels that the Senate
has the right to know just how
much the bill will cost.
Senator Williams as we'll as SEN
ator LANCER Is dissatisfied with the
job done by the Civil Service Com
missions retirement division in pre-
pairing cost figures on the legisla-
ton. At various times, the commits
sion and private actuaries presented
cost estimates ranging from zero
to $105, ,0OO, 900 annually.
The commission generally has con-
tended passage of the bill would not
cost the Government any more
moneys ,swith $1,000, 900 the maximum
amount that might be spent. Other
actuaries at one time said the meas
ure would cost sos 900, 900, but
later scaled this estimate down
radically.
During this time, the Senate Civil
Service Committees actuarial staff
stayed out of the picture, not wish
ing to hinder the measure by issuing
conflicting figures to that of the
commission.
Now, however, Senator LANCER
feels only all up-to-date accurate
estimate will satisfy the Senate.
Senator LANCER doesn't believe the
bill will cost much, If anything. but
he wants the figures to back up this
belief.

Court Backs Refusal
OF Housing on Ground
of Race o, Religion
sy the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 29.-Supreme
Court Justice Felix c. Benvenga
ruled yesterday that it is not "a
violation of any provision OF the
Federal and State constitutions to
refuse housing on the ground OF
race, color, creed or religion"
Justice Benven9a gave the opin-
ion in denying a motion for tenn
porary injunction to three colcred
war veterans who sought to enjoin
Stuyvesant Town, East Side housing
development, from practicing racial
in its selection OF
tenants. The three sought housing
in the project.
In upholding the right OF the
project to determine its tenants, the
Justice said: Though the purpose
involved is a public purpose, the
project itself is not now and never
was public project.
Housing accommodation Is not a
civil right. 1t is neither
a violation Of any provision OF the
Federal and State constitutions to
refuse such accommodations on the
ground of race, color, creed or re-
ligion, nor is it a violation OF any
statutory provision applicable to
Town"
He added that the corporation
may, in managing the property,
select its tenants upon any basis
which, in it's judgment, is most likely
to insure the success of the project
and the safety of its investment"
Stuyvesant Town is 500, 900 900
development extending from East
18th through Goth street, between
First avenue and Avenue c in Man
haitian. 1t is sponsored by the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Co. and
will house about $4,000 persons in
IS buildings when completed. 1t Is
being constructed under a contract
entered into by the insurance COM
pany, Stuyvesant Town Corp. and

confident they can get the informa-
ton that Senator Williams and
other Senators want.
The staff will base its estimate on
the contemplated number of Fed
eral employees next year, the num-
Der Of married employees, the num-
Der Of those with minor children, the
number of retired workers, and
other pertinent factors.
The measure was passed last week
by the House, but the Senate
failed to take action on it. This
resulted In a bitter floor fight on
Saturday, which saw Senator
LANCER blame his party's leadership
for the failure to pass the bill. and
threaten that he would advise the
country.s more than 100000 Gov
ernment workers to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in next years elec-
tions.
Bill Not Dead.
Senator LANCER, however, prob
ably spoke in the heat of the mo-
ment, and his first interest is get
ting the bill passed early next year.
The bill is not dead. but needs only
Senate approval and the Presidents
signature to become law.
The measure would increase an
nuity payments to Federal employees
on retirement, as well as boost re-
tirement payments to those work
ers already retired. In addition,
the measure would provide for sur
vivorship insurance benefits to
widows, with children, of Govern
ment workers who die in the service.
In return for these additional
benefits, Federal workers would pay
6 per cent of their salaries. instead
of the present per cent rate.
