the House Civil Service Committee,
who heretofore had not publicly ex-
pressed his stand. Mr.. Rees, who
has always been one of the leaders
in Congress in fighting for Govern
ment employees, said he will seek a
swift action on his request before
the Rules Committee.
MIR. Rees and other members OF
the committee apparently were sat
ished that the bill would not be a
costly one. Warren B. Orons, chief
of the Civil Service Commission's
retirement section, estimated that
the bill would cost the Government
little, If anything.
Employees Would Pay More
Government employees would be
required to contribute per cent of
their salaries to the retirement fund
instead of the present per cent.
In return, annuities would be in
creased by about 5000 year. Those
employees already retired would re-
ceive increased benefits ranging up
to $500 a year, and survivorship in
surance benefits would be granted
to widows and orphans of deceased
Federal employees.
Another important feature of the
bill permits dismissed Government
employees with less than 10 years of
service to withdraw their contribu-
tions to the retirement fund. At
present only those laid off employees
with less than five years of service
may do so.

Chairman Koran said perhaps the
fund should be included but COM
mented that if the survey is made,
unquestionably more appropriations
would be needed to provide hos
pitalization and care for those found
having the disease. "It seems the
more we appropriate for health, the
more funds We seem to need" he
remarked, adding that he wanted
to know when the law of diminish
ing returns applied.
Representative Fogarty, Democrat,
of Rhode Island declared the x-ray
survey program should be put into
effect. He warned that unless the
money was given now the program
could not be started this year.
Plea for More Employees.
Mr.. Fogarty said the pospect of
starting the project this year ''does
not look good" He brought out that
no formal request for the fund has
yet sbeen sent to the committee by
District officials.
Health Ofncer George c. Rutland,

education, attending a two-year
course in law for policemen at Co
lumbia University in 1884, a
course in traffic at the University
Of Maryland a year later, and
finally a 90-day course at the FBI's
National Police Academy in 1941.
His wartime experience with
gases and training course at Camp
Perry, Ohio, proved valuable in
1882 when he organized a gas squad
of a dozen men to cope with the
bonus army. The squad saw no
action during that campaign, but
about the same time was called on
to quell the food riots at Lorton
Reformatory, and to stand watch
during the hunger march later in
the year. ..
The training he received at the
FBI school enabled him to help
establish special school in scien-
tific crime work for detectives.
Commanded First Precinct.
On July !, 1885, Maj. Callahan
moved to the first precinct, and two
months later was appointed captain
in command. Except for short
period spent in Strengthening out
the affairs of the chief clerk and
property clerks Office, Maj. Callahan
held that post for five years.
On August 81, 1941, he was ap-
pointed inspector and executive OFF,
Ger attached to headquarters, and
three months later was made as
sistant superintendent. When the
late Col. Edward j. Kelly resigned
in January, 1946, he recommended
Maj. Callahan as his successor, and
the latter assumed the position

Appearing before a House Dis

Police Department, Maj. Callahan
caused a stir in June, 1941.
At that time a captain, he read
lengthy statement blasting the
politics" and "cliques" in the de-
partment, calling it only rs per
cent efficient and urging shakeup.
He said there was well founded
suspicion that a squad of stool
pigeons was operating within the
department.
Members Of Congress, inhuen-
tial businessmen, cabinet officers,
even the President of the United
States are importuned, harassed,

the, legislation on which Mr.. Rogge
based his argument. Justice Keech
said the law was MADE primarily to
enable Congress to compel the CO.
operation of witnesses without in
fringing on their Constitutional
right not to incriminate themselves.
The issue here raised is whether
the purpose of the entire statute
would be, or is intended to be, frus-
trated by constituting the immunity
granted to embrace contempt
proceedings" Justice Keech wrote.
Justice Keech's ruling was given
after it was announced that Repre-

Dairy Employees 10 Act
On New Pay Contract
Al Meeting Tonight

Sixteen hundred members OF the
Milk Drivers and Dairy Employees
Union will meet in Turner's Arena
at o'clock tonight to ratify or
reject new contract.
Tomorrow Is the 18th and final
day of a truce period during which
the union agreed to continue nego-
tiations before deciding whether TO
strike. A walkout would hamper
production and halt deliveries at
practically every District dairy.
Eugene r. Hubbard, business
agent and secretary-treasurer Of
Local 246 (AFL) said he could not
comment on whether a strike would
follow rejection Of management
terms being offered the member
ship tonight.
James O,Byrne, Cancellation Serv-
Ice commissioner, said the parties
had agreed to withhold public dis
cussion of the issues until after a
settlement was reached. The last
meeting two days ago ended on Q
harmonious note, he added.
Originally the union had asked a
reduction from six to five days IN
the work week., with six days pay
and higher commissions for route
men. A Sc weekly increase was asked
for plant employees.
When the contract expired June 8,
the principals agreed to a 15-day
extension, but the union membership
gave its Negotiating Committee the
right to call a strike any time the
talks were not proceeding satisfac-
torily.
M. H. Burchell, chairman of the
industry committee, refused to COM
ment before the union membership
acted on the settlement proposal.

Communists who would like moth

falter and chaos result"
No New Bill, Says Hartley.
Chairman Hartley Of the House
Labor Committee, co-author Of the
labor bill, spurned Mr.. Truman's
suggestion for passage Of a new
measure to fit the Presidents rec
concentrations. He said. the things
Mr.. Truman proposes already are
in the Taft-Hartley bill and that
Congress would make it "law, veto
or no veto"
Mr.. Hartley said the Presidents
criticisms prove that If there are
any defects in the bill, lit is not
because 1t is too drastic or COM
prehensive, but not comprehensive
enough"
cit is difficult to conceive that
the veto message on the Taft
Hartley labor bill comes from the
same Chief Executive who, just
about a year ago, recommended
the drafting of railroad strikers
into the Army" Mr.. Hartley said.
1.-THE Presidents recommends
tions in his message to the Congress
on the state of the Union in Janu-
ary merely scratched the surface as
far as labor difficulties were con-
cerned. He made no recommended
tions | dealing with Nationwide
strikes which affect the entire econ
omy."
Courting Radicals, He Says.
Mr.. Halleck accused the Presi-
dent of having definitely lined up
with the radical element of the
Democratic Party" by vetoing the
bill. He said:
'He (the President) has turned
his back on the regular Democrats
who had hoped that the radicals
would not continue to control the
party"
Mr.. Hallack noted that 103 House
Democrats voted for the bill when
the House passed it, while sc Demo-
Gratis opposed it. In this minority,
Mr.. Hallack said, were radical New
Dealers"
Henry Wallace need not worry
any more about forming a third
party Mr.. Hallack added. I'm his
veto message Mr.. Truman prac-
tically turned the Democratic Party
