Senate Group Fails
To Vote on Changes
In House Trade Bill
By J. A. o'LeoY

The Senate Finance Commit
tee failed to reach a vote today
on changes it is expected to
make in the House bill to
ektend the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow and indications are that it
will go along with the Bouse-ap-
proved one-year extension, but prob
ably. will take out the provision
giving Congress the right to veto
future Presidential tariff cuts.
Senate Republicans are trying,
however, to write in greater author
ity for the Tariff Commission in
guiding Presidential decision, which
may lead to battle with the Ad-
ministration.
With the law due to expire Satur-
day, both houses will have to put on
speed to get an extension measure
to the White House In time.
No Assurance of Signature.
Even If they meet the deadline,
there is no assurance President Tru-
man will sign a bill that gives either
Congress or the Tariff Commission
power to prescribe the limits within
which tariff rates may be reduced in
return for similar concessions to
American exports.
Some Democrats, who regard
trade agreements as vital part
of Americas present foreign policy.
believe it would be better to take
the issue to the country in this
years election than to accept a
drastically restricted extension Of
the act.
The President asked for a three
year extension, without change In
formed sources at the Capitol be-
lieve the Administration would go
along with one-year lease on life
II no strings are tried to its negoti-
ating power.
Want More Commission Control.
Most Senate Republicans want to
give the Tariff Commission a strong
er voice in determining how far
tariffs may be cut. but all of them
do not want to tie the Presidents
hands.
The House bill provides that If
the President ordered cuts below
the Tariff Commission level the
House and Senate could veto the
agreement by passing concurrent
resolution.
AS the Senate committee prepared
to meet the National Planning Asso-
ciation said the bill put through the
House by the COP would have dis
turbing world effects.

will Be Absorbed
By Budget Bureau

The Federal Board of Hospitali-
zation, which supervises plans for
the Nations vast Federal hospital
system, will be dissolved June 80, it
was learned today.
Budget Director James E. Webb,
chairman of the board, has notified
board members of the action and
told them the boards general func-
tions will be taken over by the
Budget Bureau.
The board is composed of sur
geons-general Of the Army, Navy
and Public Health Service, the
medical director of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs and the chief of the
Bureau of Prisons.
B. Frank Bennett, staff director

eliminate the group resulted from a
feeling that the board virtually
has completed action on current
plans for new VA-military and pub
lie health hospitals.
Long Agreed on Move.
Members, he said, have been in
agreement for several months that
the board should be eliminated or
that its scope should be expanded.
!. Thus far, he added the board has
mortar approach - consolidating
needs for the Federal institutions
and choosing specific locations.
The boards biggest job since the
war has been to pass on the vast
VA, pEng1alMzfor sRl@new hoepttAags
providing $4,000 more beds. Sites
have been selected for all but nine,
and all 81 have been approved by
the board.
Proposals for expanding the
boards activities, Mr.. Bennett said,
included complete study of the
shortage of professional personnel
needed to man Federal hospitals.
Now that the board will die, Mr..
Bennett said he hoped Government
officials will make other plans for
such study.
Hospital Problem Studied.
The problem of adequate mill
tary hospitals is being studied by a
special committee headed by DR..
Paul R. Hawley, former VA medical
chief.
The Budget Bureau, meanwhile,
will be vested with responsibility
for co-ordinating the verious Fed
eral plans. Work done formerly by
Mr.. Bennett and his staff of three
will be carried out by bureau per-
sonnel.

By the Associated Pres.

PORTLAND, Greg. June T.
The Army today threw fresh
engineering field command
against the raging Columbia
River. It was a desperate at
tempt to hold the weakening
l00-mile dixie front from Port
land to the Pacific.
Twenty-six officers of the Army
Engipeer Corps rushed to critical

lower valley as the great river built
UP pressure with its second food

colonels, few in during the night
from Fort Belvoir, Va.
The time was short and the task
was huge. The engineers sought to
prevent expansion of the flood toll
by the Columbia and Fraser Rivers
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana and Canada's British Columbia.
There are 26 dead, So missing, about
so, 900 homeless, and damage totals
about $4,000, 900.
Nine-foot Tide Today.
The new flood crest was moving
into the already hard hit industrial
areas around Portland and VAN

WASHINGTON. It was surging down.

has been grinding away the dikes
since the first crest six days ago.
The weather teamed with the
river. So did the sea.
Thermometers scared to seasonal
highs throughout the Northwest

the mountains where the snowpack
melted fast and streamed down to
add new waters to tributaries Of
the Columbia.
This was the day of the seasons

river this morning and crashed into
the flood current in the critical
lower river area. The collision sent
the water level higher. increased the
strain on softening levee walls.
Col. o. E. Walsh, Portland district
Army engineer, assigned the 26 new
engineer officers to operational COM
mands all along the front of 43 dixie
districts.
After early morning briefing, they
went to the levees to relieve weary
men who have directed sandbag bat
talions Of thousands Of troops and
civilian volunteers in the week-long,
around-the-clock struggle.
In support, the Coast Guard
started an air patrol and put flo-
tilla of cutters and auxiliary craft
on the Columbia. Radio-phone
trucks maintained constant COM
munication in the trouble zone.
United States River Forecaster
Elmer Fisher said the Columbia
crest was within a hair" of last
weeks marks-30.3 feet at VAN
couver, 1895 at Portland in the
Willamette River near its con-
fluence with the Columbia.
The crest is moving through the
lower valley below Portland. Dan
gerously high waters will remain
in it's wake for days
There still will be threat of
breakthrough, or a blowout-such
as the sudden bursting of a big
section of dixie like that which
drowned the war housing city of

Il had just come from hanging

to the side entrance of the house.
I heard either door slam or some
one start a car. Then came this

Then everything started falling"
She referred to fragments of glass
and pieces of metal. Il didn't wait.
I ran into the house and slammed
the door,"
Later. she said, she came out and
detected smoke in the air.
Il didn't go near the car" she
added. II didn't want to see It,"
Mrs. Fred Doe, 5828 North

heard bomb, but that's what this
must have sounded like"
1888 Bomb Murder Recalled.
The explosion recalled the bomb
murder of Miss Ida Kirk, 73. rela-
tive Of socially prominent Wash
ington family. who was killed by
an explosion of her car while driv-
ing toward Washington in Janu-
ary. 1888.
According to a minister's wife
who was accompanying the wealthy
spinster to Washington and who
escaped with mionr injuries, the ex-
plosion occurred when the car had
travelled about a mile and a half
from its starting point at Chaptico,
Md.
Investigators were able to find no
trace Of bomb but they did de-
tect the odor of an explosive, such
as dynamite or black powder. One
theory at the time was that the
explosive was attached to the muf-
fer In such way that heat caused
the blast.

High Court Refuses
To End A|imony Order
AFTER Nevada Divorce
By the Assoeiotsd Press

The Supreme Court ruled To to-
day that Nevada divorces do no
permit two ex-husbands to stol
making alimony payments pre-
viously ordered by New York Court:
under separation DEGREES.
Justice Douglas delivered the two
decisions. Justices Frankfurter anc
Jackson dissented.
The ruling was given on appeal.
by Joseph Estin and Louis Kreigel
from findings by the New Yorl
State Court of Appeals. The State
Court said they owed back alimon.
to their former wives, despite tht
Nevada divorce DEGREES.
| UNFOLDING the New York court
Justice Douglas said:
The fact that marital capacity
was changed does not mean tha
every other legal incident of th'
marriage was necessarily affected.
Jackson Disagrees.
"An absolutist might quarrel with
the result and demand rule tha'
once a divorce is granted, the whole
of the marriage relation is dissolved
leaving no roots or tendrils OF any
Kind. But there are few areas o1
the law in black and white"
The majority decision brought
from Justice Jackson a protest thai
it added to the confusion of the Ma
tion's divorce law situation. Justice
Jackson said:
IF there is cone thing that the
people are entitled to expect from
their lawmakers, it is rules OF law
that will enable individuals to tell
whether they are married and, If so
to whom.
To-day many people who hav'
simply lived in more than one State
do not know, and the most Learned
LAWYER cannot advise them with any
confidence. -
Many People Affected.
I'm a society as mobile and no.
madic as ours, such uncertainties
affect large numbers of people ano
create a social problem of some mag.
nitude. It is, therefore, important
that, whatever we do we should not
add to the confusion. I think that
this decision does just that"
Justice jackson said that the ma
jority reaches the Solomon-like
conclusion that the Nevada decree Is
half good and half bad under the
CONSTITUTIONS full faith and credit
clause. 1t is good to free the hus-
band from the marriage; it Is not
good to free him from its Incidental
obligations. 50 do not see how we
can square this decision with the
CONSTITUTIONS command that 1t
he piven full faith and credit" =.
