100000 10 Renovate
GSI Cafeterias Here
Denied in House Bill

The House Appropriations Com
mittee today denied an item of
100000 requested by the Public
Buildings Administration for reno
vation of cafeterias in Government
buildings operated by Government
Services, Inc.
The funds had been requested by
Commissioner of Public Buildings
w. E. Reynolds because the District
Commissioners had threatened to
close a number of GSI eating places
which did not comply with munich
pal regulations.
During testimony before the COM
mittee, made public as the supple
mental appropriat ations bill was re-
ported to the House today. Mr.
Reynolds told the committee that
he thought that the Public Build
ings Administration could take care
of the sanitary requirements de-
manded by the District if he could
avoid unreasonable requirements
from District inspection"
Rapid Action Held Needed.
"We think that we could handle
it in our normal program Mr..
Reynolds said. I'VE have thought
so previously but we are just up
against a problem here OF where
some action has got to be taken
rather rapidly. We advised the Dis
trict Commissioners that if they
would hold off closing the cafeterias
we would make request to the
Congress for deficiency appro-
priation.'
The record shows that during the
hearing there was considerable dis
cussion off the record Apparently
this had been directed toward pos
sible exemption of Government
buildings from District inspection
laws.
Representative Keefe. Republican
of Wisconsin asked Mr. Reynolds
to put on the record some language
which he had mentioned in off the
record testimony. Mr.. Reynolds put
in the record without explanation
the following:
in buildings operated by the Public
Buildings Administration in the
District shall not be subject to the
inspection or licensing laws of the
District of Columbia"
d. C. Action in Doubt.
It was not made clear in the rec
ord If this was intended as a sug-
gested new law for exemption of
GSI eating places from municipal
inspection.
The action of the House commit
tee In striking the requested appro-
pria ton, however, raised the ques-
ton as to what the District now
may do to enforce the order. sus-
pended temporarily, to close the

been sharply rebuked by the House
Appropriations Committee for GER
tifying a Federal job applicant as
loyal. despite report from the New
York City police department that
the man was a known member of
the Communist Party, it was dis
closed today.
The job applicant was Carl p.
Marzani. who recently was convicted
in District Court here on charges
of concealing his Communist Party
Affiliations when applying for a
Government job.
Details of the committees criti-
cism were revealed in the published
hearings on the supplemental appro-
priations bill for l948, reported to-
Gay.

with this report from New York po-
lice in 1912:

In Italy. believed to be naturalized
IN 1929, is known Communist and
known with the party name of Tony
Wales. Was formerly a section or
ganlzer for the Communist Party
on the East side"
Based on this information, Mar
sani was rejected by the commissions
loyalty board for State Depart
ment job. Later. however, Marzsni
appealed the decision and the COM
missions Board of Appeals found
him to be loyal and the commission
upheld the boards action.
Charge Came on Transfer.
When Marzani transferred to an
other agency. the commission
stepped In on the basis of new
information and declared him
disloyal
Civil Service Commissioner Arthur
S. Flemming told the committee
the commission reversed its LOYALTY
Board in 1912 after Mar8ani denied
the use Of the name of Tony Wales
or that he was member of the
Communist Party, and after five
Government witnesses from the
Office of Strategic Services testified
he was loyal
At the request of Chairman Taber,
Mr.. Flemming supplied the COM

OSS persons who vouched for Mar
zanis loyalty.
Names Submitted.

that, as soon as the commission re-
ceived further information concern
ing Marzani, I'VE joined Immediately

based almost entirely upon the fact

Ruhr Par|eYi in Doubt
After u. 5. Rejects
I British Proposals
BY the Assoeiosed Press

British diplomatic officials,
plainly disappointed over the
rejection of two counterpropos-
ais, expressed uncertainty today
whether next weeks scheduled
anglo-American conference on
German coal will be held.
They said privately they did not
know whether the Labor Govern
ment would decide to attend the
talks aimed at boosting tagging
Ruhr fuel output in view of the
disclosure last night that the State
Department here had turned down
suggestions which would have:
l. Expanded the proposed con-
versations to include finance, food,
llevel-of-industry and other prob
lens common to the unified British
American occupa ton zone in Ger
many.
| 2. Transferred the conversations
from Washington to Berlin in the
event the United States declined to
enlarge the agenda.
U. S. Proposed Meeting.
The United States week ago
invited the British to talk over ways
of stepping up German coal produc-
ton, pointing out that the Ruhr
fuel is essential to the success of
any European recovery plan"
Officials who explained the reason
for the unyielding American attitude
against broadening the conference
said the United States wants tc
guard against creating any impress
sion that it is taking an indirect
hand In the Paris Marshall plan
discussions.
Some of Germany's neighbors, they
said, might believe the United States
was seeking to build up Germany in.
dustrially and preparing a place fol
her in the unified revival program
which the European nations are try.
ing to draw up under the self-hell
idea.
Secondary Facts Cited.
These officials indicated a Sec
ondary factor was a desire to avoid
re-opening the question of how much
Britain and the United States each
should pay in running the merged
zone
A $3.50 division of cost was de-
cided upon late last year, but the
British recently have indicated they
would like to see the United States
assume larger share of the finan-
cial burden.
Maj. Gen. William H. Draper
deputy to the American zone COM
mander in Germany, already has
arrived from Berlin to head the
American negotiators. The British
| however, have not announced the
makeup OF their delegation.
British diplomatic sources, in out
lining their position. have main
tanned that to discuss coal produc-
ton alone without taking into ac-
count factors like food and indstrial
output would be to discuss the
problem in vacuum"
