to include an item for beginning
construction of this project, not
withstanding lack of Budget ap.
prevail, and I am again going be-
fore the Committee to urge favor
able consideration of an item in
the 1949 bill. It is my opinion
that this unit is an extension OF
the Wapato Project. Evidently the
Presidents Budget Bureau consid-
ers it new project and refuses to
act favorably. That is the point
on which we disagree. Notwith-
standing constant efforts to con-
vince the Budget Bureau that 1t is
not new project, the Bureau has
consistently ruled it out on that
basis.

only the urgency of immediate re-

moved from the committee floor
of the Senate for debate and ac-
ton on S. 2202, which embodies
the recommendations of the COM

adopted. An air of serious pur-
pose accompanies the discussion
in view of the tense situation ex-
listing in both Europe and Asia.
While the Senate is debating its
bill, Chairman Eaton of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, has
announced the purpose Of his COM
mittee to include the Greek, Turk

McNARY DAM :
In the Civil Functions, Depart
ment of the Army, appropriations
bill for the fiscal year 1949, for
Rivers and Harbors projects which
are separate from flood control
projects, there were appropriations
for the Columbia river totaling
$21,462, 900 of which $40, 027, 900
is for McNary Dam. With the to-
tai for Rivers and HarborS pro-
jects totaling SIS, 1904, 900 for the
entire United States it is easy to
get an idea of the proportion of
our own appropriations for this
work. However, I feel we can do
some more effective work for Nc
Nary Dam in conference between
the House and Senate as it is an
extremely important project.

BY the Associated Press

The CIO came out today in favor
of giving women equal rights with
men, but it opposed one plan to
accomplish it.
Miss Gladys Dickson, vice presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, spoke for her
sex and the CIO in a statement pre-
pared for a House Judiciary Sub
committee.
Miss Dickson said the CIO is all
for the "women's status BILL" which
she said by the simple method of
passing law would prohibit sex
discrimination in Federal law and
it's administration"
Not so second measure known as
the equal rights amendment"
She said the proposed constitu-
tional amendment is cumbersome
and lengthy method of attaining
equality for women. It's adoption,
she added, would seriously jeop-
ardize the welfare of millions of
working women and introduce
wholesale confusion into the laws
affecting family status and prop

A request by Government Serv-

Maine avenue for a ferry service to
Hams Point was turned down by
the Commissioners today.
GSI wanted to use the pier to
transport children from Southwest
Washington across Washington
Channel to East Potomac Park for
recreation purposes. 1t has been
doing this for the last two years.
In denying the request, the Com
missioners acted on the advice OF
their Wharf Committee, which said
Pier 5 was the only one available
for the docking of transient ves-
sells.
Fire Chief Clement Murphy also
opposed GSI's request. He said

was going to use the pier for train
ing purposes in the summer, anc
that establishing a ferry service
particularly in view of the large

D. T.. Citizens Warned
|0f Drastic Rise in
Part-Time SCHOOLING

District citizens today had warn
lngS OF drastic increases in part-time
classes in public schools here in the
near future. ...
The warnings came at q meeting
last night in the Thomson Elemen-
tary School, where school officials
explained to citizens groups how the
1949 budget requests for $32 1858 900
had been reduced to $25, 5,O40, ,183 by
the Commissioners. What happens
to that figure by the time Congress
finishes is still to De determined.
The part-t time question came up
when c. o. Morrison, 2905 Erie
street Sc, asked about the elimi-
nation of a $250,000 item for be-
ginning construction of a new ele-
mentary school in the vicinity of
Good Hope and Naylor roads Sc,
to replace the present buildings.
School Population Growing.
MIR. Morrison pointed out that the
two buildings now house 575 pupils
on fulltime instruction, although
the capacity is rated at 470. He
said survey revealed that there
are 1,180 children of preschool age
in the area and that about 900 new
dwelling units will be completed
there within the year.
where will they go to school?"
he asked.
Il have useed Stanton as an
example many times" School Supt:
Hobart M. Corning answered. 1.-The
triple shift is not too remote for
that areas as well as for many other
schools. I don't know the answer
to the problem Immediately. We
did everything to get that particu-
lar item included in the budget"
Needs Piling UP.
DR.. Corning pointed out that
part time instruction in the Dis
trict has been greatly reduced dur
ing the past year until now it is
about evenly divided between jhe
white and colored schools. But the
record wartime birth rate is going
to overtake the District soon, he
added. The greatest increase in
part time classes will be in the
white schools, he said.
There are great many tragedies
in this report we are making to
you," DR.. Corning declared. There
has been a piling up of the needs
of the District"
He advocated, as he has many
times in the past, that the only
sensible way to catch up on con-
struction would be through Fed
eral loan such as is allowed for the
purchase of land for parks here.
Other details of the budget re-
ductions, mostly in the construction
field, were explained by Adelbert w.
