WASHINGTON, (P The ad- ministration made a bid yesterday for nationwide self-rationing of food to cope with the cost of liv- ing.

Dems Try to Block Civil Rights Bill

WASHINGTON, (H) - Rebelli- ouS southern Democrats hoped to block one of the civil rights mea- sures President Truman wants en- acted.
 The bill would create national commission against job discrimin- ation on grounds of race, creed or color.
 Foes and packers of the mea- sure agreed the vote would be close. MT. Truman touched off a political explosion in the Dixie wing of his party earlier this week when he urged Congress to act on a 10-point civil rights program. Besides the fair employment set up, it calls for an anti-lynch law and other measures which always bring deep-south Democrats to- the boiling point.

DC. Libel Suit Revives Mystery
OfWho Wrote Shakespeare

The nearly-a-century-old contro-
versy over who wrote Shakespeare's
plays and sonnets dropped into the
lap of District Court yesterday.
Charles Wismer Barrell of New
York, secretary treasurer and trus-
tee of the Shakespeare Fellowship,
follows the theory they were written
by the 17th Earl of Oxford.
He brought a $5O,0OO libel action
against Giles E. Dawson, curator of
books and manuscripts at the Folger
Shakespeare Library, over letter
in which Mr.. Dawson discounts Mr..
BARRELS evidence on the Oxfordian
premise.
The letter, written July 25. 1947,
to Meredith Underhill of New York,
a Shakespearean student, dismissed
both the Oxfordians and those who
believe Francis Bacon wrote Shake
speare's plays. and asserts that
Shakespeare did"
X-Ray Evidence Disputed.
Mr. Barrell complains particularly
about paragraph in the letter con-
cerning evidence obtained from
X-ray and infra-red ray pictures
taken of Shakespeare portraits in
the Folger Library, which read:
"As to Mr.. Barrell and the por-
traits, they can be dismissed at once.
Two of those portraits are here
the Jansen and the Ashbourne.
And Mr.. Barrell made his X-ray
photographs here. The plain fact
is that we were unable to see any
of the things he saw in the mega
tives. They just weren't there.
IF he can now produce pictures
of these things, they must have
been doctored up"
Fellowship's Purpose Stated.
The Shakespeare Fellowship. the
suit says, lis engaged in study and
publication of the results of re-
search in Elizabethan history and
literature showing Edward de We're,

Park Murder Solution
Still Far Off Despite
Questioning Of 100

After questioning more than loo
persons, police were back where
they started in the Carol Bardwell
murder case today-fguratively
beating the bushes for suspect
or clue.
Five days after the 11-year-old
girls violated body was found in
Rock Greek Park near Seventeenth
street and Colorado avenue. little
hope was held for early solution of
the crime.
If police have turned UP a single
clue that might eventually ferret
out the slayer, they have kept 1t a
closely guarded secret.
Another of the dozens of "sus-
poets" questioned since the Sunday
Staying, a 31-year-old bowling alley
employe, was released last night
after a five-hour quiz.
Found prowling a few yards from
the murder scene, he convinced
police he not only had nothing to
do with the crime, but was just as
interested in solving it as they were
In fact, he fancied himself as
something of an amateur detective
and was shaking the bushes for
clues, he said. To prove his interest
he refused to leave police headquar-
tiers for some time after his release.
Almost as scarce as clues were
theories. Detective Chief Robert S
Bryant speculated on the possibil-
ity the slayer was known to the
victim, but did not elaborate.
Police also think the attack may
have occurred after the girl hao
visited Fairgrounds near Sixteenth
and Kennedy streets NV and wa!
en- route to her home at 1885 Web
ster street NV. They based thi.
conjecture on the position of Carol
bicycle found near the body.

Murphy said he had tested a mum
ber of weapons for blood in th'
search for the blade with which
the girls throat was cut. All sucf
tests have proved negative, he said
