The recent Agricultural Conser-

Answering these questions, Char
les L. Bump, chairman of the Lin
coin County AGA committee, ex-
plains that committeeman are paid
only for they time they are actually
engaged in work on the agricultural
conservation or some other pro-

AGA. They are paid at a nominal
rate per day and most county bud
gets allow only a small percentage
of total administrative funds for
committeeman wages.
Mr. Bump listed the duties of
community committeeman as fol-
lows
Provide local leadership in de-

note protesting Russian interference
In Hungarian internal affairs was
not ''very fortunate"
MIR. Macy was quoted as saying
'I am afraid 1t (the American notel

sioi1s that it will aggravate the sit

First Soviet reaction to the note
came over the week end when 1t.
Gen. ". P. Sviridov vetoed an Amer
ican and British suggestion that a
committee of Allied and Hungarian
officials investigate Hungarian poll
ticians accused of plotting against

The Russian commander said that
such procedure would constitute
interference in the affairs of the
Hungarian republic and the legal
rights of the Hungarian Peoples
Court"
Gen. Sviridov's reply to the Amer

and stated: II cannot consent to
such interference by the United

At the same time, the prosecution
was directed to recall witnesses to

By Don S. Worren

The Home Rule Subcommittee
of the Senate District Committee
gave the green light to Wash

saving bill today and planned
early action on the charter COM
mission measure.
1t appeared likely both measures
would be considered by the full
membership of the District Com
mittee soon, probably by the end
of this week.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Bell, Republican, Of Min
nesota, voted unanimously to re-
port the daylight saving bill, spon-
sored by Senator McGrath, Demo-
crat, of Rhode Island. This directs
the District Commissioners to hold
open hearings on the proposal and
to order the plan into effect if they
find most of Washington's popula-
ton want, it..
McGrath Commands Action.
As the session broke up Senator
McGrath said, This is the first
real move in this Congress toward
home rule for the District people,
Members OF the subcommittee in
addition to Chairman Ball, are
Senators Buck, Republican, of Del
aware, who heads the full District
Committee, and Johnston, of South
Carolina, and Holland. Of Florida,
Democrats.
The McGrath bill is a substitute
for an earlier one he sponsored
which would have had Congress
itself order daylight savings time
during the summer. The local
option substitute was advanced
after the house, by a roll call vote
OF 210 to 124, rejected similar bill
fathered by Chairman Dirksen OF
the House District Committee. The
hope was that the substitute meas
ure might win House approval where
the other failed since 1t leaves the

the District Commissioners, If they
find most of Washington's people
really want it.
