At the start of its fifth month, the
Republican-controlled Congress had
passed few major bills in either do.
mestic or international fields, although
several have been passed in one house
and are on the docket of the other.
The enacted bills include measures
to end OPA June 80, to continue sugar
rationing and price control until
October 81, to extend Presidential
control over scarce commodities until
next March 81 and to centralize war
time draft records in each state. In
addition, legislation to restrict portal
pay claims was sent to the White
House.
Joint committees will have to get
together on Senate and House versions
of labor legislation. - &.
In the House there was furious
debate on the $4O0,OO0,000 Greco
Turkish aid program already passed
by the Senate. House leaders defeated
a move to sidetrack the bill after
plea from Secretary of State George
c. Marshall that it "Was matter OF
the greatest urgency"
Marshall termed the Truman doc
trine a positive policy in our own
interests and in the interests Of
peace" His declaration apparently
was an indirect reply to Harold Stas-
sen, former Minnesota governor and
Republican presidential aspirant, who
earlier had called it negative
policy"
The Greco-Turkish program was
lambasted in a series of speeches on
the House floor. Rep. George H. Ben
der (R-Ohio), leader of the vain at
tempt to bar the bill from considera-
ton, said the policy could lead only
to bankruptcy for the United States.
Aid for Turkish Dictatorship
Rep. T. L. Owens (R-lll.) said it
would "leave someone on the short
end of the receiving line-and in my
opinion it is Uncle Sam, commonly
known as Santa Claus" Rep. Robert
F. Rich (R-Pa) declared that support
of the Turkish dictatorship is the
most disgraceful proposition. that
Congress ever has been asked to rub
Der stamp" go
Rep. Charles A. Eaton (R-N JD,
chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, termed the program one
of the most fundamental and far
reaching enactments ever proposed in
the history of Congress. 1t poses the
supreme issue, he said, of whether
world civilization is to be one of free
) dom or slavery. .t.
Balkan Treaties
: Secretary Marshall also appeare'
before the Senate Foreign Relation
Committee to urge speedy ratification
of treaties with Italy, Bulgaria, Hun
5 gary and Romania. He contendet
there was no logic in the stand o
Italian treaty opponents that demili
tarization of Italy would leave tha
country open to the same sort OF com
munist infiltration that Presiden
Truman is attempting to prevent IL
Greece and Turkey.
Marshall declared it would be .;
very grave error to start to backtraci
at this point" He was joined by for
mer Secretary of State James d
Byrnes who said it would be impos
sible today to get Allied agreement OF
any better treaty for Italy. Byrne
predicted that if the United States dlt
not ratify it, Yugoslavia undoubtedl.
would reassert its claims to Trieste.

day, as they sought subjects in a
housing picture contest.
They toured the city's slums by
bus and were shocked by what they
saw. But none neglected to keep
swapping his camera shutter.
ITO think this dreadful place is
in the Nations Capital" exclaimed
a middle-aged woman in the group.
II never would have dared come
here alone" commented her COM
panion.
Primary object of the tour was
picture taking, but its sponsors
were pleased the participants were
affected by the sight of dilapidated
alley dwellings. The contest was
planned by the Citizens Council for
Community Planning.
The photographers were compet-
ing for six prizes of Photographic
supplies totaling $3.50 in value.
No one seemed to resent the in
trusion as the eager photographers
clambered over back fences and in
vaded ramshackle houses. They
ranged from bobby -soxers to digni-
fled gray-haired gentlemen. Box
cameras and expensive German
equipment were used.

On Phone Rate Raise

The Arlington County Board has
decided to ask the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals for rehearing
of the State Corporation Commits
sion's recent action authorizing tele-
phone rate increases, The Star
learned last night.
The board, it was learned, will
appropriate $500 for this action.
Several weeks ago the board au-
thorized the county Public Utilities
Commission to employ counsel and
a rate analyst to consider an ap-
peal. An appropriation of 81 500 was
made for that purpose.
The PUG later announced that
Morton Wallerstein, Richmond at
torney, would be retained as counsel.
The PUG employed one of its own
members, Lawrence w. Knappen, as
the rate expert.
Arlington was unsuccessful In an
attempt to get other Virginia nu-
inequalities but no other communi-
ties would join.
The county was urged by the Ar
lington Civic Federation and other
citizens groups to appeal after the
State Corporation Commission's
hearing on the rate increases. Coun-
ty residents who attended the hear.
ing contended they were not given
fair opportunity to present the tele.
