There may be some features sub

asserted, but I believe the bill will
be adopted by the House
Once the rule is adopted, the
House will resolve itself into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the
bill.
The two hours allowed for general
debate will be divided equally be-
tween the proponents and oppo-
nents. When this has ended, the
bill then will be read for amend

not intend to use filibuster tactics
in seeking to kill the bill. Whether
this policy will be followed by other
opponents remains to be seen.

allow persons living in the District
for a year. and otherwise qualified,
to vote in the election Of city coun-
cilmen or school board members
even though they claim voting
rights in their home States.
Under the bill, persons living here
but claiming domicile elsewhere
would not be eligible for elective
Office in the District. Neither could
they vote for the proposed District
nonvoting delegate in the House.
But the District Committee took
the position that since these resi-
dents would have to live under the
city's administration it would be
quite proper to permit them to vote
for candidates for city council or
school board.
Numerous rules of the House and
Senate would be changed under the
Auchincloss plan, since it would
abolish the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees and the District
subcommittee of the House and
Senate Appropriations committees.
In their place, the bill would create
a single joint committee Of Congress
to handle all District Government
affairs.
In addition to these changes in
House and Senate rules, the bill also
would set up Congressional proceed
ures that are new in handling city
affairs as to Congressional ap-
proval or rejection of general Dis
trict legislation which may be pro-
posed by the city council.
These changes involve proposals
for the discharge of the proposed
Joint District Committee from con-
sideration of any legislation pro-
posed by the city council, if the
committee has not acted within two
weeks, so as to bring the issues di-
rectly before the House or Senate
for decision.
While some Congressional eye
broWs were raised over this proposed
change in Congressional rules, spon-
sors of the bill have painstaking ex-
planned that nothing in the Auchin-
Gloss bill would keep any member
of the House or Senate from intro
ducing a District bill for Congress
sional action the same as under the
present system.
Opponents have argued that the
proposed council-legislative system
would mean that Congress would
have to approve or reject without
change. But sponsors of the bill
have been quick to explain that if
the proposed joint committee or
any member of it, or any member OF
the House or the Senate, did not
want to be left with a yes or no
answer on any legislation proposed
by the city council. he could revise

Connecticut Group
To Support Baldwin
ForG.0.P. Nomination
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

HARTFORD. Conn, May o.
Connecticuts delegation to the Re-
publican National Convention voted
tonight to support Senator Baldwin
for the presidential nomination until
released by him.
Earlier, in speech at Avon, Sena-
tor Baldwin formally accepted sup
port of his "favorite son" candidacy,
but left the way open for a switch
to another candidate.
Speaking at a Baldwin, for Presi-
dent rally, the Senator expressed
appreciation for this great honor"
which he accepted mot only in my
own name, but in the name of the
people of Connecticut"
But he added that the States
delegates should vote for another
candidate at the convention if they
felt another could better serve the
interests of the people of Connecti-
cut"
The delegation was urged to sup
port Senator Baldwin for President
by the Republican State convention
early this week, but was not pledged
to his candidacy.
Senator Baldwin was elected
chairman of the delegation, which
will cast 10 votes at the Philadel-
phia convention.
Party leaders in the State have
not announced their second choice
for the presidential nomination.
They are hopeful that Senator Bald
win might win the vice presidential
nomination if his bid for the top
place fails. This situation was ex-
pected to set the stage for dicker-
ing at the convention.

Taft Scores 'FaIIacies'
OF Truman's S Policy,
Asks Curbs on Reds
BY the Associated Press

ANNANDALE ON HUDSON,
N. Y, May Ex-senator Taft said
tonight that las we approach an
election" it is the right and duty
of Republicans Ito point out the
fallacies" of the Truman foreign
policy.
In a speech at Bard College,
he declared there has "only been
bipartisan policy in a few limited
fields. In most matters the Presi-
dent makes the policy and asks
us to agree to it.
I'VE have usually done so in
order that the prestige of America
. may not be destroyed because of
conflicting voices in high authority"
But, added the Ohio Republican,
an aspirant for his party's presi-
dental nomination:
"As we approach an election,
however, it is certainly our right
and our duty to point out the fall
lacies of the policies which have
been pursued, and present the pol
icies of our party which will guide
us if the people elect a Republican
president"
Urges Opposition To Reds.
The United States foreign policy,
he said, should, in part, be based
on consistent opposition to the
spread of communism in this
country and throughout the world. "
The spread of Communism lis
the direct result of our own policies
he asserted, adding that for years
I'VE seem to have been dominated
by friendly attitude toward Com
munism, and complete inferiority
complex to Russia.
Whatever they asked. they re-
celved. and gave nothing in return,
he declared This failure in foreign
policy was not chance. 1t resulted
from the character of the whole
administration.
Wallace, Hopkins Mentioned.
Men like Henry Wallace, the Vice
President and Secretary of Com
merce, considered Communism just
another form of democracy-per-
haps a little better than our form
of democracy. Harry Hopkins, the
Presidents adviser on foreign af
fairs. was extremely friendly to
the Communist regime"
Today, Senator Taft added, al
though Communist influence has
declined there seems to be curious
areas in some of the bureaus where
opposition to Russia is still de-
plored."
American policy in Germany has
been of infinite assistance to the
Communists" he said. The policy |
of unconditional surrender destroyed
the German state and left vacuum
in Europe into which Russia has
successfully moved"
Urges U. N. Charter Revision.
The senator said that Ito re-
gain the respect of the world" the
United States should show leader
ship in revision of the United
Nations charter.
Il believe our foreign policy
should be built as far as possible
around the United Nations" Sen
ator Taft declared, adding that
he believed the charter could be
rewritten so that I'VE can estab-
Hsh world in which the great ma
jority of nations will abide by
rule of law to which they have
all agreed"

gates to two for Mr.. Stassen. He
failed, however, to go campaigning
in Wisconsin until the eleventh
hour-too late to be really effective.
He was too late in his campaigning
in Nebraska, too The result was a
Stassen victory in both those mid
west States.
The second phase of the campaign
was the emergence of Mr. Stassen as
a leading contestant-with his
victories in Wisconsin and Nebraska,
followed by his leading in the num-
ber of "write-in' votes in the presi-
Dental preferential primary in
Pennsylvania. The final count of
these write-in votes in Pennsylvania
gave Mr.. Stassen 1922 votes to
1898 for Gov. Dewey. These write
in votes, however were small per-
centage of the total Pennsylvania
vote. No candidate was formally
entered in that contest However,

PORTLAND, Ore, May 22.-Mrs.
Dorothy Mccullough Lee, attractive
46-year-old lawyer, will become
Portland's first woman mayor next
January. But politics is nothing
new to her.
She has held public office for 10
years. either as State legislator or
as a Portland city commissioner.
Mrs. Lee is the only woman who
ever served in the State Senate.
In 1943 she came within one vote
of being elected senate president.
She and her husband, w. Scott
Lee. sales representative for
Standard Oil Co., work as team.
He does lot of her campaign work.
Her political career began in 1929
with her election as State Represen-
tatiye. She served two sessions, and
then was elected State Senator,
serving until 1943, when she became
public utility commissioner of Port
land. She still has that job.
Mrs. Lee obtained her law degree
from the University of California
in 1923, and practiced law in Port
land until she became a city COM
missioner.
Her vote-getting ability was
proved in yesterdays election when
she received almost two-thirds of
the total vote for the seven candi-
dates for mayor. The incumbent,
