hearing and that Bilbo and his
attorney, Forrest Jackson, were
permitted to ask witnesses ques-
tions through members of the
committee.
In his opinion, Senator Hatch
said, it is f vast Importance that
charges be prepared and filed and
that they be sent to Bilbo as
quickly as possible, despite the
condition of his health, sin order
that he may have full knowl-
edge of the charges against him
and may prepare whatever de-
Tense he may care to submit.
After this is done, Senator
Hatch suggested, the Rules Com
mittee should accord Bilbo a full
hearing upon the charges. Wit
nesses should be called to testify,
he said, and Bilbo should have the
privilege of confronting them in
person and cross-examining them
fully and be allowed to produce
whatever witnesses or evidence
he might care to submit in his
own behalf.
Senator Alben w. Barley, of
Kentucky, the Minority Leader,
took the position that the pro-
cedure suggested by Senator
would violate the terms of the
compromise agreement which pro-
vided that no action would be tax
en- until Bilbo was able to return
to Washington.

Federal Government is reimburs-
ed by the District of Columbia for
the care of INDECENT legal resi-
dents of the District.
The increase in the amount of
the federal appropriation esti-
mate for 1913 is to meet increased
costs resulting from stating and
equipping the hospital as recon-
mended by the Public Health Ser
vice and the District Board of
Nurse Examiners in a survey to
determine requirements for the
first-class operation of an acute
general community and teaching
hospital, a tuberculosis unit, and
an approved school for nursing
education.
For 1913, the Governments net
share in the cost of operation
will be approximately 81 per cent
as compared with an estimated
81 per cent in the current fiscal
year.

Estimates for the Interior De-

to Congress by President Truman
last Friday carry a total of $412,-
400 for the government of the
Virgin Islands.
This sum represents an increase
of $101,185 over both the 1947
estimates and appropriation, al
though during the hearings on the
nomination of William E. HASTE
to be governor of the Virgin Is
lands, some doubts were express
ed that a colored governor would
be able to get as large appropria-
lions for the islands as a white
governor.
Of the amount recommended,
the sum of S216,100 is for salaries
of the governor and employees
and expenses of the island gov
eminent; $4,000 is for salaries
and expenses of the agricultural
station in the Virgin Islands, and
$15O,0OO is to defray the deficit in
the treasury of the municipal gov

Senator Hatch
Clarity Stand On
BiIbo Case

Washington, d. C. (NNPA) -
Senator Carl A. Hatch, Democrat
of New Mexico, one of the few
Senators who spoke in favor of
seating Theodore G. Bilbo, last
Wednesday clarified his position
on this issue.
If it is established that Bilbo
"has prostituted the high office
of Senator of the United States,
by using it for his own personal
gain or profit, that he has lille
gally conspired against any seq
ment of the country, no matter
what the race. or against any
citizen" declared Senator Hatch,
"the judgment and verdict of the
Senate will be one of guilty"
Senator Hatch argued that it
is more important that the guilt
be established according to cor
rect rules of procedure than it
is that Bilbo be enied a Senate
seat.
In speaking during the filibus-
ter of southern Democrats to COM
pei the Republicans to seat Bilbo
in order to organize the Senate,
Senator Hatch said he was merely
trying to emphasize 'Ethe i'm
portance of the maintenance and
preservation of certain funda-
mental rights"
He offered to the Senate last
Wednesday suggestion that the
report of the Senate war investi-
eating committee concerning Bill
bo's dealing with Mississippi war
contractors, be referred to the
Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration, of which Sena-
tor C. Wayman Brooks, Republi-
can, of Illinois, is chairman.
He added that the committee
should take that report and the
report of the Committee on Cam
paign Expenditures, including the
views of Senator Styles Bridges,
Of New Hampshire, and Bourke
B. Hickenlooper, of Iowa, Repub-
ican, who filed minority report,
and prefer formal and specific
charges against Bilbo.
In the opinion of Senator HON.
er Ferguson, Republican, of Mich
igan, who was a member of the
Senate war investigating subcom-
mittee which probed Bilbo's deal
ings with Mississippi war contrac-
tors, such procedure would be a
duplication of work already done.
Senator Hickenlooper holds the
same view with respect to the in
vestigation by the Senate cam
paign expenditures committee
which held hearings in Jackson,
Mississippi, on charges that Bilbo
had prevented colored people from
voting in the Mississippi Demo
cratic primary of July 2.
Senator Ferguson pointed out
that prior to the hearing before
the war investigating committee
Bilbo was furnished a memoir
andum containing the charges
that were to be taken up at the

The rent control proposal met
quick opposition from Delegate w.

said he would vote against 1t because
he believes the sooner controls are
lifted the quicker normal building
will be resumed.
The Senate version Of the teach-
ers' salary increase, sponsored by
John S. Battle, Charlottesville, was
approved, 81 to 0. It carries an over
all appropriation of $500, 600 rec
commended by Gov. Tuck for the

Sudden Land Rush In Nenana Lots

FAIRBANKS, (P) - The Fair banks Land Office has been doing Hand office business" in Ne mana town lots, according to Fred Weller, local registrar.
 During a period of about two weeks, over 200 lots have been sold for amounts ranging from S10 to as high as $297 each. Today only nine lots in the whole town site remained unsold, eight in one block and one in another.
 The Hand rush" evidently was based upon speculation following recurrent rumors that the army is contemplating a construction pro- ject on the railroad about Is miles from Nenana. The lots have been up for sale for the past 16 years with only an occasional buyer, ac- cording to Weller.
 Prices for the lots run from $1 up, but to this was added assess ments in varying amounts. for street work and other improve ments. One of the remaining lots bears. price of $70.73 while others are SIS or $25.

British Military Court COnvicts Three TerrOrists

JERUSALEM, (P)-A military court condemned three convicted Jewish terrorists to death as the United Nations commission of Pal estine opened its inquiry today amid an Arab general strike.
 The Jews were accused of par ticipating in the May 4 jail deliv cry which freed 251 prisoners from Acre prison and left 16 per- sons dead. Two other Jews tried with the condemned trio were sentenced to life imprisonment.
 Irgun Zvai Lemui, underground organization which took responsi- bility for the prison break, was expected to appeal to the U. N. commission in an effort to stay the sentences. Irgun repeatedly has threatened "blood for blood" retaliation against the British for death sentences against its mem bers.
 The Arab strike, called to .em- phasize the organized Arabs boy colt of the U. N. inquiry, paral- yzed much of Palestine's activity. In Cairo, the exiled multi of Jeru- salem sounded a "call upon all Arabs to protect the Holy Land"

SAN FRANCISCO (P)-The Pa cific coast waterfront continued to work today in spite of the east coast maritime walkout,\ but the threat of an impending west coast shutdown developed from refusal of at least one seagoing union to sign sailing articles.
 Under a mo contract no work" ultimatum, CIO cooks and stew ards remained aboard vessels in Pacific coast ports but refused to sign on for further work until an agreement is reached with Pacific shipowners. Negotiations, how ever, were in progress.
 The effect of this strategy, if continued, would be to tie up all or a major portion of west coas. shipping without strike" being called. Ships would be prevented from sailing if cooks do not sign.
 Meanwhile, negotiations were resumed between the shipowners and the two remaining unions which have not come to an agree ment for a years extension of their contracts.
 These are the CIO cooks and
