prevent action next Monday on the
Capper resolution.
Partial Report Due.
Senator Wiley said that he had
insisted the subcommittee on portal
to-portal pay bring in its report to
the full committee next Monday. He
hopes the committee will take up
the nationally important issue and
report out a bill In view of this,
he said he could not guarantee the
committee next Monday would be
able to act on the Capper resolution.
The absence of a quorum Senator
Wiley attributed to two things-a
number of Senators were reported Ill
and a number were absent because
OF making preparations for speeches
on Lincoln's birthday.
Those present today included
Chairman Wiley, Senators LANCER Of
North Dakota, Ferguson of Michi-
gan, Donnell of Missouri, Moore of
Oklahoma, all Republicans, and Nc
Grath, Democrat, of Rhode Island.
Senator Capper, in hi stalk to the
committee, touched on the issue of
the size of the Districts representa-
ton, which had been raised by some
committee members. He said The
issue could easily be remedied by a
change in the wording of his resolu-
ton.
"Not Surprised" At Complaints.
"I am not surprised that some
are inclined to find flaws in the
language of the proposed amend
ment," he told the committee.
Fears have been expressed that in
its present form 1t is so indefinite
regarding the extent of representa-
ton which might be given these
people under its terms that it might
empower Congress to grant them
even greater representation in the
Congress than is accorded a State
"It seems to me-" he asserted,
"that the pending proposal can be
readily amended so as to quiet such
fears.
This proposal should not be put
aside or a favorable report with
held" he urged, because OF any ap-
parent defects in the wording OF the
amendment as proposed. An ad-
verse report is unthinkable."
Seeks Debate in Senate.
Senator Capper said he under
stood the committee would like to
get rid of this matter which has
been in its lap for 50 many years"
MY advice, as an old experienced
member of the Senate" he coun-
selled, sis that the best way IN which
to accomplish that desire is to re-
port the proposed amendment out
to the Senate where it can be de-
bated in the open. Then, being a
perfectly reasonable and funda-
mentally American proposal, 1t
should be approved by the Senate
and sent on to the House of Repre-
sentatives for similar action, and
then on to the State legislatures for
ratification by three-fourths of the
States"

Nine 6Is Say Corporal
Was in Camp at Time
OF 'DahIia' Murder
BY the As.oeiosed Press

FORT DIX, N. j., Feb. 10.-The
case Of the military policeman who
implicated himself in the Los
Angeles BLACK Dahlia" staying took
new and conflicting turns today.
The Army's public relations Office
announced that nine soldiers had
volunteered to testify before the
Criminal Investigation Department,
that they saw Corpl. Joseph DUMAS
at Fort Dix from the time Miss
Elizabeth Short was last seen alive
and the morning her mutilated body
was found in Los Angeles lot.
Maj. Cornelius T. Morris, public
relations of1cer, first had announced
Saturday, that Corpl. DUMAS Con-
fessed" the Staying to Capt. William
M. Florence, CID officer, in a ram
bling, signed statement. Then. Mai.
Morris quoted Capt. Florence as
saying the captain was convinced"
sthe corporal had committed the
crime.
DUMAS Contradicts Witnesses.
Army authorities retreated with
the announcement that the state
ment DUMAS signed contained the
assertions it was possible" he had
been the killer. No formal charge
has been filed against DUMAS.
Today, while the. first of the Fort
Dix soldiers went before the CID to
tell of seeing DUMAS here between
January 10 and 16, Maj. Morris
office made the additional state
ment that DUMAS had made oral
assertions in which he went into
details of Miss Shorts death and
further placed himself in California
during the time the Fort Dix soldiers
said they saw him here.
The mutilated body Of the bru-
nette, known as the BLACK Dahlia"
because Of her penchant for black
clothing, was found January IS. She
was last reported seen January TO-
DUMAS statement told of date
with her January 10, Capt. Florence
said.
Seek to Clear Discrepancies.
Army authorities today said they
were seeking to clear up what they
termed several discrepancies in the
DUMAS statements.
In Los Angeles, Capt Jack Dona-
hoe of the Police Homicide Depart
ment refused comment on DUMAS
statements, and said he was await
ing DUMAS replies to questions
forwarded to Fort Dix by Los An
geles police. @
Maj. Morris said DUMAS related
that he had had date with
Miss Short on January 10, but
"blanked out" while drinking with
her and remembered nothing until
he was in New York City some time
later. va
Four DayseNot Accounted for.
Army records show DUMAS was at
Fort Dix on January 10, IL and 13
and again on January II, but the
intervening four days are not ac-
'counted for, Maj. Morris said.
Los Angeles officers commented
that DUMAS would have done some
awful fast flying" to have been ON
the West Coast on the dates men
toned in his statements.
DUMAS was taken into custody q
week ago on the complaint of
another soldier regarding money he
had intrusted to DUMAS for safe
keeping. Morris said DUMAS him
self introduced discussion of the
BLACK Dahlia" Staying into the rou-
tine questioning.
Morris said that while giving
the statements Saturday DUMAS
answered ''yes" to the question:
docs it seem to you at this time
that YOU did commit the crime?"

to reporters before Mr.. Acheson dis
cussed it with the committee.
Mr.. Lilienthal was one of a group
OF consu1tants which worked with
Mr.. Acheson on the recommends
tions.
Mr.. Acheson told the committee
he would stake his life and reputa-
ton that Herbert s. Marks, his as
sistant for two years and newly ap-
pointed general counsel Of the Atom
ic Energy Commission, was neither
a Communist nor a fellow traveller.
Some witnesses had limited previ-
ously that they thought Mr.. Marks
might be.
Il am as certain as I am of any
thing in this world that he has no
leanings of any sort toward Commu-
nism or fellow travelerism," Mr..
Acheson declared. In the first
place, he has too much common
sense"
Bridges Attacks Lilienthall.
Mr.. Lilienthal's nomination has
come under attack from Senators
Bridges Republican, of New Hamp-
shire and McKellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee. The New Hampshire
Senator took his stand in a state
ment over the week end.
Senator Bridges termed Mr.. Lii
ienthal an extreme left-winger"
and "appeaser Of Russia" and asked
Senate rejection of his nomination.
Asserting that the committees
study thus far "has gone on side
issues" principally the personal
objection" voiced by Senator Nc
Kellar, Senator Bridges declared:
"Mr. Lilienthal is an extreme New
Dealer. In part, I base my objec-
tion to his confirmation on that
fact. AS with all left-wingers, it is
indicated Lilienthal is sympathetic
toward Russia, which is Com
munist-eontrolled."
Referring to the Acheson- -Lilien-
thai report, Senator Bridges said
that report proposed to turn over
the atom bomb and secret to the
United Nations, including Com
munist Russia, without the safe
guards later insisted upon by Mr..
Baruch."
'Domineering Personality"
Bernard M. Barueh, former Amer
ican representative on the u. N.
Atomic Commission, used the re-
port as the basis for his control
plan.
Senator Bridges contended in his
statement that Mr.. Lilienthal's per-
sonal belief in public ownership is
so profoundly strong as to tend
toward socialism"
In addition, he continued, Mr.
Lilienthal has a domineering per-
sonality. He has displayed is fire.
quently, particularly in his ousting
of Arthur Morgan from IVA. There
is every reason to conclude that he
might deal with this atomic power
of life and dsath by the same New
Deal method of stretching statutory
powers into complete Government,
if not personal, domination"
The Senate is asked to confirm
extreme left-winger, New Dealer
Lilienthal in position which would
give him almost unlimited power
over all atomic energy and many
other phases of American ulife,"
Senator Bridges said.
Krug Has Posters Made.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the In
terror Krug demonstrated his in
dorsement of Mr.. Lilienthal's views
in an unusual manner He had
posted throughout the Interior De-
partment Building large placards
quoting Mr.. Lilienthals conception
of democracy as he outlined it in
testimony last week.
"I commend to every man and
woman Of the Interior Department
this moving and eloquent state
ment of his democratic belief by
Mr.. David E. Lilienthal," said the
posters over Secretary Krug's sigma
ture.

WASHINGTON, (P) - Dsiro- crats tossed out set of figures to- day to back up their claim Ia the Republican. economy irs' has "fizzled and hopelessly 5o5sed down."
 Republican leaders, meanwAil' renewed their long dormant eff forts to nail down a Senate-HouS agreement on just how much 'o try to cut President Tyr,man' $37 ,50O, ,0OO,O00 budget for the fis- cal year beginning July 1.
 The House earlier this year for- mally promised to whack six bi,- lions off that spending estimate, but the Senate voted only four and a half billion saving pied ge.
 Democrats in both chambers contended at the time that each figure was too high.
 In the House minority party members picked Rep. Gore fTenn as their ''bookkeeper" to keep track of Republican cuts.
 Today as the House resumed discussion of the $8, l67 1868, ,027 in- dependent offices appropriations bill, Gore claimed "bona fide" re- ductions to date total only $1,875,- 716,750.
 Republicans are claiming more than twice that much.
 Gore added in a lengthy state ment accompanied by several sets of figures that purely phony bud get cut claims" have reached to- tai of $2,699, 15O,000.

Tax To Be Same

sWAsHINGTON (F, Tie House p5ssed unanimously today a bill freezing the social security pay roll tax at present rates for=two years.
 IT passed by the Senate and ac- cepted by President Truman the measure will block an automatic g .0O) 100000 annual increase in .l,e levy on January l.
 The legislation provides, how cver. for an increase in the tax in l95O to form one per cent to l.5 percent each against employees pay and employers payrolls. In 1857 the tax would jump to two per cent against each.
 Without the freeze, the levy would have increased January 1 to 2.5 per cent against employer and employee. The present one per cent tax collects about $l.500.- 100000 annually for the social se- curity old age and survivors in surance program.
