CATHOLICS DROP COLOR BAN
THE FREEDOM TRAIN
BY ST. CLAIR KIRTON

The Freedom Train speeds on its way
Symbolic of another day
When men of vision cleared the way
And laid that firm foundation,
Upon which rests this Nation
And with definite point in view
This project speaks to me -. to you!
Let's reaffirm our faith anew
With solemn conservation
And meet rededication!
Let's read those documents again,
Earnestly striving to attain
To their great heights-so sound, sane,
Penned by our great immortals
Who rest in glories portals!

House 6. 0. P. Claims
Four-Bi|Iion Saving as
SenateGefs0fficesBin

House Republicans claimed
total savings of $4,483, ,916,796 to-
day as the big So, 167, 1868, OPT in
dependent offices bill moved to
the Senate after passing the
House late yesterday.
Chairman Taber OF the House
Appropriations Committee insisted
this was the COP economy score,
despite the charge of Representative
Gore, Democrat, of Tennessee, yes
terday, that many of the claimed
savings are mere bookkeeping trans
actions. and not actual reductions in
spending.
While rival party spokesmen In
the House wrangle over their sepa-
rate sets Of figures. the real answer
remains to be written, either In the
Senate or in joint conferences. For,
although the House has only two or
three more appropriation bills to
pass, nearly all of them still await
Senate action.
Senate May Be Persuaded.
1t is Capitol tradition that Gov
ernment departments can persuade
the Senate frequently to restore
funds turned down by the House.
For example, on the Interior De-
partment bill for next year the Sem
ate Committee has relaxed to the
extent of softening a As per cent
House cut to 27 per cent of that
departments budget total.
In passing the Independent Of
fees bill yesterday, the House al
lowed $6,944,457, ,080 for the Veter-
ans Administration. The remain
ing $1,048,411 in the bill was
scattered among 81 boards and COM
missions.
All attempts to change money
provisions of the bill were defeated,
voice votes knocking down amend
ments to add $100, 100000 to the
Veterans Administration fund, to
cut $4,000, 900 from the same allot-
ment, and to add $175,000 to the
Federal Trade Commissions new
appropriations.
Claim Called 'Phony."
Mr.. Taber arrived at his $4,483,-
916,796 total by adding together
House voted cuts of $3,701, 1876 ,029
in budget estimates, $500, 900, 900 in
rescissions of previous funds he said
would have been spent next year,
and $282, ,59O,767 in reductions in de-
ficiency bills for 1947.
Mr.. Gore insisted that $500 $780,
600 of the claimed COP savings are
purely phony budget cut claims"
and amount to bookkeeping trans
actions that don't mean a penny In
savings as far as the taxpayers are
concerned" They are merely "face-

Rankin Moves 10 Ban
Duel in the Sun Here

A resolution by Representative
Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi
to prevent further showing in
washington of the motion picture,
Duel in the Sun" which he de-
scribed as filthy, debasing, and in
sulting to the moral instincts of
decent humanity" was referred to
the House District Committee today
for consideration.
In a TRADE against the picture,
Mr.. Rankin attempted to get his
resolution before the. House itself
by UNANIMOUS consent. However,
at the request of Majority Leader
Halleck, he agreed to referring 1t
to the District Committee.
The resolution called on the police
here "either to close the Palace

ment last night, or prevent the fur
ther showing in the Palace Theater
or any other theater in the District" +"
The picture is not being shown any,

Representative O'Toole, Democrat,
of New York said the principal effect
of the Rankin resolution and criti-
cism of the picture was "$1 ,000, 900
worth of free publicity"
Representative Celler, Democrat,
of New York questioned the wisdom
of a resolution to close the Palace
Theater. He pointed out that the
film no longer was running there.
Mr.. Rankin said that he had re-
ceived complaints against the show
from all over the country and he
hoped to force its withdrawal. Duel
