Looks as if Mayor Sweeney has
finally appointed civic committee
that is determined to stand on its
own feet and not be swayed by what
his Honor wants, or doesn't want.
The committee on the proposed new
charter for Hagerstown has not only
done a grand job, but is also deter
mined to see to it that the conclus-
ions arrived at are given serious
consideration by the Mayor and the
Council.
The matter was to be thrashed out
at a special meeting of the City Faith
ers last night, which will be fully
reported in this paper next week.

County Delegates and State Senator

elected them, what they propose to
do in the way of legislation affecting
the county and Hagerstown.
In strong contrast to the Mont
gomery County Delegation, which,
ever since the election, has, in addi-
ton to sending out weekly press
releases, held meetings with every
civic organization in Montgomery
County, concerning proposed legis-
lation, the Washington County Dele
gation-and State Senator-have re-
manned strangely silent.
Even when the Delegates organ
lied, they failed to notify the cleo
torate of their action. We happened
to run onto the information, how

Southern Senators
Prepare Anti
FiIibuster Fight

Washington, d. c., Jan. (NNPA)
Southern Senators will not allow
Senate rules to be changed SO as
to curb filibustering without a
fight, it was indicated here last
Tuesday at meeting called by
Senator John H. Overton, Demo-
crat of Louisiana, one Of the
leaders in the flibuster which
sought unsuccessfully to compel
Republicans to permit Theodore
e. Bilbo to be sworn in during
the first two days of the Eigh-
tieth Congress.
While Southern Democrats rea-
ched no definite agreement on
strategy to be followed 90 pre-
vent the cloture rule from being
amended SO that a majority may
bring up for consideration and a
vote any measure they choose,
Senator Overton asserted that the
SOutherners would present the
arguments" against the proposed
changes in the rule when the
matter comes before the Senae.
Senator Walter F. George, De
mocrat, of Georgia, was selected
chairman by the Southerners. He
said he intended TO confer with
Senator Alben w. Barkleyi of
Kentucky, the Minority Leader,
who has consistently opposed fill
clustering. Senator George hopes
to get Senator Barley to call
conference Of all Democrat SEN
atorS on the proposals to change
the present cloture rule which
proved ineffective when a Sen
ate majority sought to debate
FEPC legislation during the last
session.

Washington, d. C. JAM, (NNPA)
= Jimmy Bivins, of Cleveland,
who was crowned the war rdur-

won drab, listless 10-round fight
from Johnny Flynn, of Roches-

last Thursday night. The decision
was unanimous.
In winning his second straight
victory over Flynn, Bivins show

made him once a leading con

But while Bivins has gone back
from his early form, he was the
master of Flynn over the entire
route.
Flynn hurt Bivins in the third
round with smashing left hook
and a hard right -hand smash,
but was unable to follow it up.

Hursey Wins
Surprise Decision
Over Hayes

Washington, ID. c. Jan. (NNPA)
- Proving himself an adept prl-
Dill of Henry Armstrong, his new
manager, muggy Hursey surprised
Slocal fans by winning a unanl-
NOUS decision over Charley Hay
es in a sensational 10-round bout
at Turner's Arena last Monday
night.
Hursey, a local boxer now man
aged by Armstrong, has adopted
Henry'S ring style and used it to
good advantage n beating a good
fighter in Hayes. Weaving, bobb-
ing and continuously punching,
HurSey had the Detroit fighter
hanging on at the finish.
Following the fight, Armstrong
said "Smuggy is alright. He's
plenty strong and | think we can
bring him along O. X. He loves
to fight and he loves to train,
so how can we go wrong"
Hursey started off at a furious
clip. His third punch, long, hard
left hook, landed flush on Hayes
chin, dropping the Detroiter for
a. count of nine. That was the
only knock down Of the bout.
After weathering a curious Hur-
sey attack in the first three
rounds, Hayes rallied and had
Smuggy in trouble in the fourth,
but his superb condition enabled
him to withstand the attack.
Hayes also won the fifth. Smu-

Dismissal Plea Denied
For 70 Charged With
Contempt Of !! Congress

Justice Alexander Holtzon OF Dis
|trict Court today denied motions TO
dismiss indictments against 20 per
sons charged with contempt Of Con-
|gress for failure to comply with sub-
poenas Of the House Committee on
|Un-American Activities.
The 20 include II persons described
as members of the governing body
of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee
Committee. They are charged with
conspiracy to prevent the House
committee from gaining access to
the refugee committees records and
with falling to produce the records.
Or. Edward K. Barsky is described
as the chairman OF the group. which
includes Howard Fast, the writer.
Justice Holtzoh upheld the right
Of the House to create the investiga-
ting committee and he held valid
the resolution which created 1t. The
defense attack on the House resolu-
ton, based on freedom OF speech,
was held without merit
Also named on single charge OF
failing to produce the records Is
Miss Helen r. Bryan, said to be
executive secretary of the refugee
committee but not q member OF the
governing body. She Is not charged
with conspiracy.
Others whose motions for dismis-
sal Of indictments were denied, and
who are not members Of the Anti
Fascist Refugee Committee, were
Richard Morford of the National
Council Of American-Soviet Friend
ship, Inc, and George Marshall,
listed as chairman OF the National
Federation for Constitutional Lib
critics, who were charged only with
failing to produce records before the
House committee.
In response to the freedom OF
speech plea, Justice Holtzoff said
"s Freedom Of speech is, In
itself, a qualified right. The first
amendment does not, for example,
preclude the Congress from exclud-
ing obscene matter from the mails
or from the channels OF interstate
commerce. It does not guarantee
to any one the right to incite others
to commit crime. It does not pre-
clude the Congress from Furnishing
persons who advocate the over
throw Of Government by force"

Drop in Factory Jobs,

As Warning 10 u. 5.
y n. A,sesiassd Press

The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
reported today that an April decline
ia industrial employment and poor
showing In the construction held
.epoint to soft spots in our economy
which will need careful watching.
The slump In factory jobs was the
first since the reconversion low IN
February, 1916, according to re-
port by Commissioner OF Labor Sta
tistics EVAN Clague.
He named resistance to high
prices" as the main factor In hold
ing back construction, where sharp
gains had been expected.
Mr.. Clague did not join those
economists who predict that a re-
cession soon will bring widespread
unemployment !.
1--WE are on a crest, but the crest
may be q plateau on which we may
stay for some time-perhaps year
or two" he told reporters after is
suance OF the monthly report OF,
employment.
Manufacturing employment fell
of 100000 In April, the report
showed. Total nonfarm employment
declined $4,000, but this figure In
cluded the soft coal miners safety
stoppage" and persons idled by the
telephone strike. Farm employ
ment rose by about 100000.
The falling-off in factory jobs
showed up mainly in textiles, ap-
parel, tobacco, leather and rubber.
The report said construction activ-
ity, which had been counted on to
bolster employment later this year
showed only moderate seasonal
increase, rather than the hoped-for
sharper gains"
It added the upturn in building
employment was about 100000 In
April, or Eat best" only a normal
spring rise.
The most significant lag was in
the start of new houses. About
$4,000 new permanent dwellings
were begun, or 1000 below the April,

cessiye month In which new dwell
ings failed to equal the number
