defense motion for . ,aistrial, based
on a contention that Mr.. Hitz had
so inflamed the minds Of the jurors
by his opening statement as to make
it impossible for Eisler to get fair
hearing.
The Government attorney had as
serted Eisler came to the United
States to disrupt" the American
economy in behalf of party bosses in
Moscow. Justice Morris ordered the
remark stricken from the record.
Postponement Refused.
The jurist also denied defense
motion to postpone the trial to give
the defense time to collect evidence
to rebut what Mr.. Isserman said
were new charges contained in the
Governments opening statement.
Justice Morris said. however, that
if the Government introduced sur
prise evidence which the defense
could not be expected to rebut with
out additional preparation, q mis-
trial might then be declared, or time
might be granted to collect the nee
essary rebuttal evidence.
The slowness with which the trial
was progressing caused attorneys
to revise their schedules for the pre-
sentation OF evidence.
Mr.. Hitz does not now expect that
Louis Budenz will testify against
Eisler until next week. Mr.. Budenz
is a former managing editor of the
Communist newspaper, The Daily
Worker. He now is an anti-Com-
munist teacher and writer at Ford

gress continued to control budget
and taxes for the District. the city
budget should continue to 80
through the Federal Bureau Of the
Budget. If, however, he said, full
local sovereignty were granted by
Congress to the city, the municipal
ity might handle its own budget.
On this point, Mr.. Fowler de-
clared:
with the authority to Ak budgets
and levy taxes, 1t is felt that the
District would be able to pay its
own way out of its own resources,
If equitable adjustment were made
for property removed from the tax
rolls and for services rendered to
the Federal Government.
Agrees on "Crasy Quilt"
"This assumption would be based
on the surrender OF congressional
authority to impose burdens which
the District Government did not
desire to assume and on the further
assumption that the present eco
nomic level OF the population does
not deteriorate.
Asked by Representative Auchin-
Gloss about the possibility of getting
away from the present crazy quilt"
pattern of the District Government,
Mr.. Fowler agreed 1t was such a
crazy quilt" But he recommended
that one way to improve this would
be q better concentration of power
in the District Commissioners.
Particularly, he said, speaking
from 80 years experience in the Dis
trict Government, be firmly believed
that administrative powers Of sew
eral independent boards should be
abolished. The Commissioners
should have more authority over
these boards, referring to the Boards
of Education, Public Welfare, Recrea-
ton and Public Library.
Asked about suffrage for the Dis
trict, Mr.. Fowler expressed the opin-
ion that there was no real argument
against suffrage. "Unless we get
all rights Of the vote, however" he

question, 1T will not do us much
