mare reversed the field and raced
for the estuary. A patrol car saw
her sprint through a downtown red

headed down the railroad track
to the Oakland pier. From there
she swung again toward the down
town streets - then up a ramp
of the San Francisco Oakland bay
bridge. Two miles onto the long
span, cars at the toll qlaza frightn-
ed her.
She galloped down to the bay,
mired momentarily in the mud,
then took another bridge ramp
toward downtown Oakland.
There a patrolman roped her aft

was loaded into a city pound
truck.
Nellie snorted in defiance, lash

BY Tho Assoeiufed Press

Secret hearings win be ordered

subcommittee on a Confidential

Publication of the report has been
withheld by the committee, Chair

a possible adverse effect on prices
and the stock market.
''We.will have to go into this thing
more thoroughly" Mr.. Shafer told
newspapermen. ''The inquiry, of
course, will have to be behind closed
doors, since the reports show the
amount of strategic materials on
hand and the amount needed and
public disclosure of these facts
might create price rise In the ma
terials still needed" -
Disclosure of the mere fact that
there may be q shortage in supplies
Of some Of these materials and con-
sequent heavy purchasing" Mr..
Shafer added, might lead to an in
crease in the prices which the Gov
ernment would have to pay and
could have serious effect on the
stock market through price ductu-
ations."

During all Of these many years
this important question has never
been debated on the floor Of either
branch Of the Congress.
One Report Unfav0rable.
"Only once has there been an un-
favorable report and that was by
the Senate Judiciary Committee IN
the Seventy seventh Congress in
1941."
Without this question being
settled afhrmatively," he continued,
I'VE cannot consistently boast of ad-
herence to our underlying principles
of representative government; nor
can we reconcile the voteless and
unrepresented condition of the
people of this National Capital with
our professions expressed through
our adherence to the United Nations
Charter, which was ratified by the
Senate The eyes of the Nations
are upon us-do we practice what
we preach?"
To provide national suffrage to
the large group of Americans in
Washington as "their birthright," !"
Senator Capper declared, would be
doing ar act of simple justice" :"
"Such action" he insisted, "is long
overdue, as the Congress years ago
should have provided a political
status for these people, duty
which must not be longer delayed" !"
These people here need and de-
serve these rights of national citi-
zenship, which they are now denied,
as surely. as do the people of your
State and mine, he said. They
obey the same laws of Congress, pay
the same taxes, fight in the same
wars, bleed and die, just as do our
constituents. They bear all Of the
burdens of citizenship just as you
and I and our constituents bear
them"

Throughout his presentation to

Capper interpolated praise for the

He referred to his long service on

which he was former chairman. In
