Mr.. Truman sent special message

In addition, the measure pro-
poses a change in the method of
fixing parity prices-which are de-
signed to assure farmers and those
who buy farm products fair

The bill would retain the old
formula based on the 1909-l4 aver

Senators Table Action
On Judge Fennel| 10
Give Foe Hearing

The Senate District Committee
today tabled the nomination OF
Judge Aubrey B. Fennell of Munich
pal Court for a new 10-year term.
Action was taken because one
protest against his confirmation had
been filed and a promise made that
the objector would be given hear
ing if the committee decided to.act
on confirmation,
The lack of action on the part
of the committee did not constitute
a rejection of his nomination,
though it means the reappointment
is dead for this Congress. Tech
nically, the decision was to let 1t
go over until the next session.
Judge Fennells term expires July
70. The committee was advised he
would continue to serve until he
was reappointed and confirmed. or
his successor named and qualified.
The committee did not announce
the name of the obiector. but he
was said to be a member of the bar
who is active in citizens associa-
ton affairs. He submitted protest
that Judge Fennell was disagree
able and insulting to members OF
the bar.
Committee Chairman Buck re-
ported that some members of the
bench and members of the Selections
Committee of the District Bar had
supported, Judge Fennell's con-
drulation.
: Senator KEN, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, commented it was pretty
late" in this Congress for hearing
and objected to action without
hearing.
Senator McGrath, Democrat, OF
Rhode Island, who is chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee,
urging confirmation, declared that
in view of Judge Fennell's service in
the past 10 years on the bench, the
committee might be little gener-
GUS
Senator KEN baked when it was
brought out that the new term was
for 10 years. Committee members
said Judge Fennelt had been in poor
health. but that his condition had
improved.
Later one member of the commit
tee. Democrat, remarked that if a
Republican President takes over
next year, Judge Fennell might not
get a reappointment.

g. That in the absence of clear

Contract Not Properly Observed.
The committee said it is con-
vinced that If there did not exist a
deliberate design and intention on
the part Of some employe, or en-
ployes, of the National Broadcast
ing Co., to sabotage our efforts to
promote international understand
ing and good will, those employees of

intent and purpose of this phase of

enrolment Is Issue
|At Court Hearing on
Nonresident Tuition

The question of what constitutes
an enrolment" in the District
schools was under consideration to-,
day at District Court in hearing
on a suit to prevent a. group of
Maryland children from being oust-
ed from Woodrow Wilson High

Schools Hobart M. Corning con-
tending that since the children were
signed up to attend the school be-
fore enactment Of the new appro-
priations act last July that they are
entitled to attend without paying
tuition.
The corporation counsers office,
however, has argued that nonresi-
dent children, under provisions OF
the Appropriations Act. are en-
titled to attend District public
schools free, only If they were ac-
tually in school here before. the
new act became law.
ENROLMENT" Only Issue.
Justice Henry Schweinhaut said,
as the hearing got under way, that
he viewed the issue as "a pure
question of law as to whether these
people were enrolled within the
limit of the statute"
Norman J. Nelson, associate su-
perintendent of schools in charge
of senior high schools, testified the
official record used in the index
for counting children enrolled was

quested by the President. Funds for
the future contracts must be appro-
priated later.

! fed the Nation is two years behino
schedule in stockpiling. He said il
probably will take seven years tt

contemplated in 1916.
| The committee explained its $135,-
900 900 cut by saying it has some
apprehension that the program is
lacking the degree of planning, fore
thought and coordination which
should be an integral part of any
such large-scale expenditure.
The group also cut $230000 from
; q $68O.000 request of the General
Accounting ONCE to finance an au-

Bill Restoring Bulk
OF Foreign Aid Cuts
Is Ready for Senate

A $6,125, 100000 foreign aid
bill, restoring all but about s40o,-
600, 900 of the drastic cuts made
by the House in the administra-
ton program. was ready for
presentation to the Senate to-
day.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee approved the measure late
yesterday, in effect restoring an
estimated $1.175, 100000 of the re-
duction voted by the House.
Chairman Bridges said the bill.
would be taken to the Senate floor
rs soon as possible. 1t is expected
30 be reported formally today.
When passed by the Senate, the
measure will go to conference with
the House to reconcile differences
The Senate bill includes $4,000
900 900 for the Economic Co-opera-
tion Administration which is ad-
ministering the European Recovery
Program. This is in addition to ST.
055, 100000 already made available.
The money could be spent over the
next IL months under the Senate
measure, in contrast to a House
provision that 1t must be spread
over Is months. This House pro-
vision alone in effect had cut the
ECA fund nearly Is per cent for
the first IL months.
For other programs, the Senate
bill provides:
/. $1,325, 900 900 for government
and relief in occupied areas. This
includes s125.0Oo,O00 for aid to
Japan and Korea to be handled
by ECA.
2. $46O,ooO,oo0 for aid to China
This includes SIPS 100000 to be used
for grants and aid solely for mill
tary purposes.
8. S250,OOO,000 for aid to Greece
and Turkey.
4. s20,O0O,O0O for the Interna-
tional Childrens Emergency Fund
5. S70,700,000 for the Interna-
tional Refugee Organization.
The Senate committee indirectly
cut Sc0,000,00O from the S. ,055 .000.-
900 European Recovery Program by
earmarking s20,000.000 Of ECA
funds for Trieste aid.
Heaviest percentage cut approved
by the Senate committee was in
the funds for the international
Children's Emergency Fund-a pro-
gram for relief to European chill
dren. The administration request
for S60,000,000 was slashed to $40
100000. Senator Bridges said this
was done because some money had
been carried over from last year
and because much of the aid has
been going to countries behind the
iron curtain"
Many House restrictions on use
of ECA funds we're removed or re-
laxed by the Senate Committee.
Senator Bridges said the committee
report will recommend that ECA
Administrator Paul H. Hoffman be
given more latitude" in carrying out
the program.
But the committee adopted an
amendment by Senator Ball, Repub-
lican. of Minnesota, putting SIS
100000 limit On the amount of farm
machinery ECA can purchase in the
United States. The House had fixed
this limit at s5O,0Oo,OoO Also, on
the insistence of farm State Sen
ators. the Senate bill provides that
not less than 80 per cent OF the
nitrogenous fertilizer purchased by
ECA for non-occupied countries
must come from plants operated by
the Army.
