.Sparkman Proposes
National Race Study
BY the Associated Press

Senator Sparkman. Democrat. Of
Alabama, proposed yesterday that
Congress undertake Nationwide
study of racial and other discrim-
ination before adopting any civil
rights legislation.
In radio interview. Senator
ISparkman said he is drafting
resolution calling for a congress
sional inquiry with particular at
tention to the relation between
discriminatory practices" and eco
nomic conditions in the North as
we'll as the South He indicated he
would then support any action
necessary to end such practices.
He said he believes that economic
competition between Negroes and
whites in the South is at the root
of racial difficulties there.
IF we could raise the economic
level of the South to the point
where this economic competition
would be cut down, then a great
part of the race problem would
disappear" Senator Sparkman
added.
The reason the race problem lin
the South is particularly acute Is
because there are two races trying
to live side by side in country
where economic opportunity has not
been sufficient to give satisfactory
support to BOTH

Body ofWoman Found vAto Refuse Guaranty
Wedged in Seat Of Bus On G| Home Loans if
Parked in Alexandra Interest Exceeds 4%
Groy Acts Despite Recent
Law Permitting Rise
To Az Pct. if Needed

The Veterans Administration
will refuse to guarantee CT home
loans that bear interest rates
above 4 per cent, Veterans Ad-
miniStrator Gray announced to-
day.
This action was taken despite
authorization in the 80th Congress
housing bill for VA to guarantee
loans with interest rates up to Az
per cent if Mr., Gray decised it was
necessary.
The increase to Az per cent was
put in the law, officials said, because
of the serious drops in loans avail
able to veterans who wanted to build
or buy their own homes during the
last year. The provision specifically
gave Mr.. Gray authority to recog-
nize the increase-with the ap-
prevail of the Secretary of the Treas
ury-if he found that the loan
market required it,
Decreases Due to Other Factors.
In the announcement today, how
ever, Mr.. Gray said an overWhelm-
ing preponderance of opinions be
has received indicated that the de-
crease in the number of veterans
loans. was due to factors other than
the interest rates
He said that after seven-month
study, including conferences in every
State, he decided the proposed in
crease would not be in the best
interests" of veterans and would not
make more houses available to them.
VA officials said CT home loans
coming before the agency for guar
antee action have been at the rate
of about $4,000 a month. A little more
than year ago, they said, the rate
was over $4,000.
Upswing in FILA Loans.
At the same time, there has been
a drastic upswing in the number of
100 per cent" Government guar
anteed loans - those guaranteed
through combination systems of the
VA and the Federal Housing Agency,
spokesman said. The number of these
combination loans has risen from 10

Moves 10 Gust Rankin,
Alter Spy Probe Setup
Due for Debate Today
Drive to End Committee
Expected to Fail, but
Changes Appear Likely
By Miriom Ottenbero

Moves to abolish the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities and to change it's makeup
were expected to come up for
debate on the House floor at the
first session of the new Congress
today.
Administration sources predicted
the defeat of any attempt to wipe
out the spy hunters despite Presi-
dent Humans description of the
committee as a dead committee"
engaged in red herring" activities.
A top House Democrat, however,
reported administration approval"
of maneuver to GUST Representa-
tive Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi. from his post on the COM
mittee.
Craftsmanship Curb Expected.
Representative Davenport, Demo-
crat. of Pennsylvania, has an
nounced he will offer a resolution
to abolish the committee and trans
fer its functions to the Judiciary
Committee This is the move that
is expected to fail
Also expected is motion designed
to prevent any member of the House
from being chairman of one COM
mittee while serving as a member
of another committee.
Such a rule would have the eff
feet of barring Mr.. Rankin from
the Committee on Un-American
Activities, since he has said he would
not give up the Craftsmanship of
the Veterans Committee, for which
hs is in line.
Democratic chieftains, however,
may attempt to maneuver Mr..
Rankin off the committee without
running into floor fight.
Rankin May Be Overlooked.
This maneuver calls for the Dem
ocratlc members of the Ways and
Means Committee, who assign Dem
ocratic committee posts, to over
look Mr.. Rankin when they fill
spots in the Committee on I'm
American Activities.
Ways and Means Committee men,
bers said this could be done by fol-
lowing the principle that members
who serve as chairman of one COM
mittee cannot belong to another
committee.
If the motion aimed at Mr.. Ran
kin stays off the floor the Ways and
Means Committee probably would
reach the Rankin case later this
week. It's action would be subject
to approval of the entire Demo-
cratic membership and the House
Itself.

The exercise will test their speed

Only the high command knows

Unit commanders won't know where
they are going until the flash comes.
Army headquarters refused to say
how many troops will take part in

C|osed-ShopBan
In States Upheld
By High Court
Court Agrees Except
For Murphy Dissent
In ! of ; Cases
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Supreme Court today up
held State laws banning closed
shops.
Under closed shop contract
only union workers can be hired.
Once on the payroll, they must re-
main in good standing with the
union or lose their jobs.
Today's decision was given in at
tacks by the American Federation of
Labor and others on bans adopted
in Arizona. Nebraska and North
Carolina. During argument of the
case the court was told that SIM
liar restrictions have been enacted
in Is other States.
The Taft-Hartley laws anti
closed shop section was not directly
involved in todays ruling.
Justice Black wrote two opinions
one dealing with the North Carolina
and Nebraska laws, the other with
the Arizona law The decision of the
court was unanimous, except that in
the case of the Arizona law, Justice
Murphy noted dissent.
COncurring Opinions Written.
Justices Rutledge and Frankfurter
wrote concurring opinions in all
three cases.
The North Carolina closed shop
ban was passed by the States Leg
islature. 1t permits a worker to sue
Tor damages if he is refused a job
because he is not union member.
The Arizona and Nebraska prohi-
bltlons are contained in amend
mentS to those States constitutions.
The Arizona amendment SAYS no
person may be denied the oppor-
tunity to get I job, or keep a job,
because he is hot ''nion member.
1t also outlaws agree ats by firms,
associations and individuals to ex-
clude any person from a job because
he is not a union member. The
Nebraska amendment in different
words contains much the same re-
StrictionS
The Supreme Courts of each of
the three States have upheld the
bans.
Bearing on Taft Hartley Act.
The Supreme Court was informed
that IN addition to North Carolina
these States also have enacted
closed shop bans:
Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Louisi-
ana, Maryland. Nevada, North and
South Dakota, Tennessee. Texas
and Virginia In addition, Arkansas
and Florida have adopted constitu-
tional amendments banning closed
shops, the court was told.
Some attorneys have said that
the decision on the State bans
would have considerable bearing in
any future high court test of the
constitutionality of the similar ban
in the Hartley Act.
The Taft Hartley Act, as passed
in l947, outlaWed future closed shop
contracts and permitted the more
common union shop only when a
majority of the workers vote for it.
Under a union shop agreement the
employer may hire any one, but
workers must join the union within
fixed time
