unfinished. We cannot abandon the
peoples still in need. To do Sc
would be to replace hope with de-
spair in the hearts of the peoples
and thus to undermine the spiritual
and economic stability upon which
our own hopes for better world
must rest.
Others will help but such is the
preponderance Of our economic re-
sources that success cannot be
achieved without us. If we fail to
do Our part, millions of human
beings will be denied the elemental
necessities of life.
Their strength and recuperative
powers, which have been slowly
growing, will be undermined. The
time, now in sight when they can
once more exist without help and
make their contributions to the
peace, progress and prosperity OF
the world will be indefinitely post
poned.
Calls for U. S. Control.
II recommend that this relief
assistance be given directly rather
than through an international or.
ganization, and that our contribu-
ton be administered under United
States control. International CO.
operation in the program and the
necessary coordination of our re-
lief activities with those of other
contributors can be achieved by
informal consultations with all ma
tions concerned through the
mechanism of the United Nations
and otherwise. .
Il believe that our relief con-
tribution should be used only for
providing the basic essentials of
life, such as medical supplies, food
and items which will aid in the
production of foodStuffs.
"The authorization recommended
is designed for the urgent reliet
needs for the balance of the year.
The most critical period will be in
the spring and summer months
when UNRRA shipments will cease
and the harvests are not yet avail
able. Swift legislative action is
necessary If our help is not to come
too late.
THE United States, in keeping
with our traditions of immediate
and wholehearted response to hu-
man need, has stood in the FORE
front of those who have checked
the forces of starvation, disease,
suffering and chaos which threat
ened to engulf the world in the
wake of the war. The task is nearly
finished. I urge the Congress to
act promptly to insure that we do
not stop short Of the goal;. that we
do not endanger the permanence

Lynch's Testimony Surprise.
| Mr.. Hartley, with the backing Of
Republican leaders, applied to the
House Rules Committee to approve
a resolution to grant subpoena rights
so that his group can extend Its
investigation.
Mr.. Lynch's testimony In favor of
a proposal to change labor law was
a surprise. Labor leaders the past
few days have been repeatedly criti-
cized by the Senate committee for
their negative" attitude toward the
labor relations problem. Both AFL
President William Green and CIO
President Philip Murray opposed all
the union-restricting proposals be-
fore Congress.
President Truman's labor legis-
lative program called for a pro-
posal similar to that suggested by
Mr.. Lynch. The latter's indorse-
ment of a provision of bill in
troduced by Senator Ball. however,
had reservation.
Would End Protection.
Mr.. Lynch said, without elabora-
ton in his prepared statement,
that when "evenness Of administra-
ton" has been established under
the rules of National Labor Rela-
tions Board procedure, then it will
be reasonable to require unions to
abide by board certiflcation with
out recourse to strikes for the pur-
pose of coercing employers to vio-
late the law Of the land" BY Ger
tification, he meant where the ma
jority union has been selected as
bargaining representation of a plant
after an NLRB election.
The AFL official said fatty that
unions engaging in such strikes
should not be afforded the protec-
ton Of a law which such unions
have voluntarily and willfully flout-
ed" He urged that such unions "be
deprived of their rights before the
board for a period or one year"
This would permit employers to
discharge such strikers, who also
would lose their bargaining rights.

Chairman Hartley of the House
group told a reporter Speaker Mar
tin and House Republican Leader
Halleck gave me the 60 ahead
sign" on the subpoena resolution
and on an adequate appropriation"
to finance the racketeering inquiry
He said he will ask for $4,000 for
a starter.
The House itself will have to ap-i
prove both the resolution and the
appropriation.
Mr.. Hartley did not want to tip
his hand on where the committee
will strike first.

sections" he said. Some of them
come from crackpots. Some OF
them are legitimate. We are going
to go into them as much as we pos

may help the committee in writing

that the same group trying to de-

ant to the Georgia governorship,
was trying to destroy his organi-

Following the sentence Of Burke,
Prof. James H. Sheldon, admins
trative chairman of the anti-Nazi
League, New York, declared in a
statement: s.
"The conviction of Homer Loomis
jr., and Emory Burke by two Geor-
gia juries is one of the most en-
couraging things which has hap
pened since the end of the war, and
will stand out as an example to law

Solicitor General e. E. Andrews

Burke was the second Columbian
within a week to draw conviction
and sentencing on charges in con-
nection with alleged terrorist &C
tivities against Negroes last fall.
Loomis, executive secretary OF the
organization, was found guilty Sat-
urday of a charge of riot. He was

Three Incidents Of Violence.
The jury convicted Burke yester-
day of the usurpation charge, a mis-

The State based It's case on three

of the Columbians were involved
One involved search for Negro
after an alleged criminal assault
another the blackjacking of col
ored man in a white residential
section and the third the attempted
halting of a colored family from
moving into house in a white
residential area.
In an unsworn statement to the
jury, Burke declared he knew very
little of the incidents and that he
was home abed at the time of the
blackjacking.

vocated better working conditions to
attract workers into mining, agrl-
culture, building and engineering
It urged workers to transfer to
more essential industries from trans
port, textile manufacturing distri-
button and consumers services.
National and local government staffs
will be reduced, the white paper
said.
British factories will have to eX-
port an average of 25 per cent of
their production to attain the goal
of 140 per cent of prewar levels,
the report estimated. Individual
targets will be set for each industry.
Warning that this means a
smaller supply to the home market,
the white paper added:
THE central fact of l947 is that
we have not enough resources to do
all that We want to do and barely
enough to do all that we must do"
Total volume of imports must re-
main tightly controlled" the report
said. 1t estimated 1947 imports would
total $1,000, 900 000-80 to IS per cent
of the 1888 volume as compared to
20 per cent in 1916.
Reporting that the adverse balance
of trade for 1916 was 81 800 ,000, 900,
the white paper said the deficit must
be cut this year to conserve the
American and Canadian loans.
Picture of Industry.
The white paper gave this picture
of the country's principal industries:
Steel-The coal shortage will pre-
vent steel plants reaching the 1946
near-record output of 12,75o,oo0 tons.
Steel exports must be cut to a min
imum to supply home needs. Long
term goal is home consumption of
s.500,000 tons of steel and 2,250, 900
tons of steel exports.
Power-"Drastic steps" will be
taken to curtail non-industrlal use.
Total plant capacity is 100000 kilo-
watts, deficit of 100000 kilowatts

The AAA's own crew worked

Scores of minor accidents-crushed

sprawled across the highWay-Were
reported. Burnt-out clutches were
common complaint.
Mr.. Haight said the traffic was the
worst he had ever seen here.
He cited a call on upper Georgia

motorman, who got stalled in DRIFT
while driving his own automobile
to car barn to report for work.
Lack of Chains Blamed.
Call Carl handled approximate
" 500 calls from 8 am. yester-
day until am. today. An official
blamed three-fourths of the dlth-
culties on the fact most motorists
had no chains in their cars when
they started for work yesterday and
got into trouble going home last
night.
The Sixteenth street hill above
Florida avenue NV, the Massa-
chusetts avenue hill and the one
on Pennsylvania avenue Sc. were
focal points of trouble calls.
One of the worst pileups was on
the Lee boulevard, where the hill
approaches Fort Myer. Between
800 and 500 cars were parked all
over the hill and abandoned when
motorists failed to reach the top.
Frequently, service trucks dis
patched on one call were hailed by
other motorists in distress.

Mr.. Hoover then said GSI had
never attempted to prevent District
health inspectors from making their

Mr.. Hoover also was questioned

Willing to Pay Cost Share.
Mr.. Hoover admitted charges for

ness to pay GSI's share of such
costs for the period the phone has
been in use.
The argument over the sausage
came as Mr. Posey argued GSI
could have bought better product
with more meat content during a
certain period than it actually did.
Mr.. Hoover said that better grade
sausage, on the contrary, has a
sizable fat content.
