Family dependents as grounds fol-

The questionnaires will go out in

Beginning September 80, the

In filing the new rent schedule
with the rent control Office for its
action, spokesman said, only q
new set of maximum rents will be
sought. Maximum rents" in the
language governing operations of
the Greenbelt development. are de-
fined as the highest rents chargeable
to the highest-income families with
the. fewest children.
Only comparatively few people
will be paying the maximum rents,
the PHA spokesman explained.
Percentage Figure Not Available.
Owing to the system of graded
rents, and to the numerous rent
maxima based on differences in To-
cation and size of dwellings, the
present Greenbelt rent schedule is
a difficult thing to explain in detail.
Owing to this complexity, and to
the factors involved in grading
rents, PHA explained, no average
percentage figure is available to
indicate the rent rise contemplated
above the present schedule.
The only way TO describe the rise,
PHA said, would be to say that it is
intended that maximum rents, as
against actual graded rents payable,
shall be comparable to those on
similar privately-owned units.

NMU Official Predicts
Long Fight Over Halls
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 20-Extensive
court steps would be necessary for
the National Labor Relations Board
to enforce its ruling against the
CIO National Maritime Unions
hiring halls on the Great Lakes, a
union attorney says.
Herman E. Cooper, newly appoint
ed general counsel of the NMU, said
yesterday the NLRB, in order to
back up its ruling that union de-
mands for continuance of the hir-
ing hall in the Lakes region are
illegal, must take the following
steps:
NRB members first must investi-
gate to see whether the ruling is
being obeyed, and then file an en-
forcement order in Federal Court
If they believe it isn't.
This would bring an appeal by the
union to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
II the boards decision was upheld
there, the case would be taken to
the Supreme Court.
The whole process probably would
take year, Mr.. Cooper said.

ment yesterday before United States
Commissioner Cyril s. Lawrence
here.
The men, Orlando Lokpez, 27, and
Louis Feldman, Al, were arrested
Wednesday night by FBI agents
near Forty-f1fth and Van Ness
streets NV. Their case was con-
tinued to August 26.
According to the FBI and a
spokesman for the Office of Inter
national Trade, Commerce Depart
ment, Lokpez sought to bribe an
official of the OFT with $4,000 to
obtain an export license for several
hundred tons of galvanized pipe to
Venezuela.
Bribe Offer Reported.
The OFT spokesman said Lokpez
previously had not been issued a
license because he did not appear
to be a bona fide applicant"
Recently, 1t was said, when he ap-
piled again for a license, he was
quoted as saying, 1T would be worth
couple of thousand dollars fol-
me to get the license"
The arrest was made, according
to the spokesman, when Lokpez
came with Feldrnan to the home o1
the official to pick up the license
and turn over the $4,000. Feldman
brought the money from New York
the spokesman said.
Joint Inquiry Continues.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, two
Senate committees are still pursuing
joint investigation of irregularities
in the handling of export licenses.

for the Senate Small Business Com
mittee, said the probe is being con-
Quoted jointly by subcommittee of
this group, and by the Ferguson

their committee staffs on related
problems of export licenses, it was
explained. Already the Small Busi-
ness Committee has disclosed, the
chief counsel said, that more than
100000 worth of goods had been
shipped abroad in excess of the
legal quota.
inquiries Into Quotas.
The Small Business Committee Is
probing the question of whether the
Commerce Departments allowable
quotas for export are realistic" in
view of the needs of domestic econ
omy here. Furthermore, the COM
mittee wants to know how much
goods are going out fraudulently, in
excess of the legal quota.
The Ferguson subcommittee, pri-
marily interested in the efficiency of
governmental expenditures, already
has aired the case of William w.
Remington, who headed a subcom-
mittee fixing policy on exports to
Europe including Russia. Mr.. REM
ington was charged by Miss Eliza
beth T. Bentley, admitted former
Russian spy, with being q contact
through which she obtained infor-
nation for channelling to Russia.
He has denied her charges.
The joint investigation by the two
committees now is in the hands of
their staffs, Mr.. Dickey explained,
but will develop later into closed
hearings. Public hearings are ex-
pected.
