not express an opinion on the ma
tional representation issue.
Mrs. Culbertson, whose husband, a
lawyer, is a former Ambassador to
Chile, said there is some objection
among Washington residents to cer-
tain details OF the Auchincloss home
rule formula. but no objection as
to the principle.
Mr.. Colladay, who is general coun-
sci to the Board of Trade, was less
sure than Mrs. Culbertson OF The
merits of the home rule bill. I'VE
didn't come here to talk about that, y
he said.
Mr.. Colladay added, however, that
the Board of Trade had opposeo the
Auchincloss bill unless we could
get, at the same time, representa-

tage of his forum to blast at Con-
gress for overriding his veto Of the

appropriation bill. saying that they
are determined to emasculate the
Labor Department.
Cites 1914 COP Platform.
As has been his custom in dis
cussing this particular issue, the
President tied up Congressional ac-
ton with the fact that the Re-
publican platform of 1874 made the
statement that they expected to
make strong Labor Department. "
The President saw a number OF
Missouri's Democratic leaders yes
terday as he stumped his way from
independence to St. Louis on his
first speaking mission since the 1914
presidential race.
Frank w. Hayes, State chairman
introduced him to a Sedalia audi

Jefferson City, was on hand at the
Capital. and John ]. Nangle. the

Labor-A spokesman for C1O,
Van A. Bittner, accused the Repub-
licans of preaching the solemn
commitments" they made in the
1914 platform. In a written state
ment to the Platform Committee,
he called on the COP to pledge the
repeal of the Taft Hartley Act.
Foreign policy-A stream Of wit
nesses urged platform declaration
for organized world cooperation to
preserve the peace. Some had
varied ideas on how to combat
communism. 1t is almost FORE
gone conclusion that the platform
will reaffirm a global program to
keep the peace by helping nations
that are resisting communism.
Permanent Price Supports Urged.

units at $8,700 each are over-prlced
at least 81 1000 in terms of current
values and perhaps as much as
$780," the subcommittee said.
The report also asserted that after
the subcommittee sent field investi-
gators to the project in March the
whole range s'of building. practices
on this project was tightened up
considerably" 1t said, for example,
that the quality of the concrete IN
the Easements improved. But, 1t
added, FLA inspections were not
altered in any appreciable way.
Representative Lanham, Democrat,
Of Georgia, dissented from the sub
committee report. He said:
THE squawk about this project
seems to arise not only from an
interest in the venerans welfare
but also from the disappointment
of people who live in the vicinity
of the project because it was low
cost project on what was admittedly
one of the most beautiful locations
in the State for development.
There seemed to be involved also
quite a bit of jealousy and rivalry
between various local and State OH
cials concerned with the granting OF
permits and the extension OF water
and sewers to the project"
Mr.. Lanham said apparently many
OF the witnesses the subcommittee
heard were biased or were not eX-
perts in their field.
The report said that cost estl-
mates given by witnesses averaged
about $1,000 per unit. The builders
challenged these estimates and said
their actual cost sheets showed con-
struction costs complete, with land
of approximately $4,000 per unit.

hastily told DR.. Tobias and Mr..
White:
Don't think we're antagonistic.
Nobody in the world could be any
more in favor of equal rights than
I am. When a colored man is
lynched, the whole United States
Army ought to protect that man."
Mr.. White and DR.. Tobias said
they spoke for 81 National Negro
organizations with 6,0s4, 900 members.

American Federation of Labor, urged
the Labor Subcommittee to write
into the platform raise in min

The union leader called the pres

In addition to the hourly wage

The three military governors Of
the western zones met secretly two
weeks ago to set the date for
changing the currency. Omcial
sources said they had delivered let

the change in currency.
A few hours before the announce

common German currency on the
basis of a four-power decision. Z"
The Russians previously blocked ef-
forts to agree on such a four-power

cision to go ahead on a three-power

Sees Civil Rights Group.
After testifying before the Gov
ernment Affairs Subcommittee, Mr..
Warner went down the hall to the
Civil Rights Subcommittee. where
he gained recognition as an un-
scheduled witness and repeated his
plea for home rule. He told re-
porters that Chief Justice G. w.
Maxey of the Pennsylvania Su-
preme Court, chairman of that sub
committee, had seemed sympathetic
to his arguments there.
The plank recommended by Mrs,
Culbertson and Mr.. Colladay read:

Chairman Davis pressed the two

Spent Night at Home.
In a SiX-State crossing which was
to bring him to Washington after
an overnight visit to his Missouri
home, the President spelled out the
issues on which he has sought un-
successfully to get action-prices,
housing and labor.
In indianapolis, the President

House leadership's action on the

for what he considers adequate
! funds.
Other major problems still to be
worked out are:
Farm legislation-the Senate last
night approved its own long-range
program, turning down the House
approved, 1s-month extension of the
present price-support system. The
House is considered to be against
the Senate plan and lengthy con-
ference may result. The resulting
bill will have to be approved by
both houses.
Housing-the House will vote on
bill swept clean of the public
housing and slum clearance provi-
sions of the Senate bill, sponsored
by Senator Taft. But the House
measure will be considered under a
rule requiring two-thirds vote.
A conference battle is likely here,
if the House measure is approved
Atomic energy-The Senate has
before it a bill to extend the terms
of the present five Atomic Energy
Commission members for two years
rather than for the specific terms
to which President Truman has ap-
pointed them. The argument is
laden with politics with Democrats
indicating they plan to make Re-
publican refusal to confirm the
appointment of Chairman David
Lilienthal a campaign issue.
Margarine Bill Jammed.
Appropriations-The Army appro-
priation bill was approved by the
Senate last night and now is in con-
ference. The argument over steam
power plant for the Tennessee Valley
Authority has not yet been finally
settled, however, in the Government
corporations bill, now in conference
The Senate approved the plant, the
House has refused to accept it.
Other bills, apparently caught in
the log jam, are Federal aid to edu-
cation, oleomargarine tax repeal, the
tidelands oil measure. the Mundt-
Nixon Communist bill and the
various civil rights measures.
The civil rights and House-ap-
proved oleomargarine bills, though
not likely to pass the Senate, will
certainly tie 1t in q filibuster II
