ment, even though less expensive
and more efficient equipment was
available"
The department said the Bell
system developed its own very ex-
pensive automatic system even
though less expensive and more
efficient automatic equipment was
available from an independent
manufacturing concern" 1t added
that although A. T. & T. developed
the present common hand tele-
phone set in 1910, it was not in
troduced into the system as stand
ard equipment until 1927.
With respect to the sale and dis
solution of Western Electric, the
suit said its manufacturing activi-
ties should be separated into two
firms making telephones, telephone
apparatus and equipment, and a
third company to manufacture "spe-
cial products not used exclusively

Vice President elec< Barley

Legislation, was excused from vot.
ing at his own request.
Senator Morse, during the debate
attacked high living in Washing
ton as setting bad example tc
the American people. He charged
that some of the salaries proposed
in the new bill for Federal officials
were too large.
Warns of Resentment.
There is entirely too much high
living in Washington on the part
Of Government officials" he
charged. 1T is not consonant with
the simple democratic way OF
American life Cocktail parties
that cost from $500 to. 81 900 should
not be considered as part of the job
Of serving in high public Office In
this country"
The Oregon Senator warned
there is resentment" at the grass
roots in America against the "ex-
travagant living in Washington"
Senator Donnell, in his long
argument urging an accounting OF
the Presidents expense allowance
stirred Senator Lucas to retort:
This is the first time any one
ever has raised the issue that the
President Of the United States
should itemize his expenses. II
is preposterous to say the President
would not spend the money hon
eStly and fairly"
Senator Donnell denied there was
any implication that the President
had spent money improperly. But
later he insisted it was perfectly
proper for him to inquire who paid
for the so-called "nonpolitical" trip
made by President Truman last
year across the country before the
political conventions.
Senator Williams objected to the
$5O,OO expense allowance being
taX-exempt. He said the effect
under the present tax structure
would be to jump the President S
salary 10 more than $500, 900 a year

The bill would exempt those who

The Klein measure is similar to
one he introduced in the House dur

was approved.

to further help prevent the city from

Hotel Men Admit
Rate Boosts, but Not
To $38 Per Day

Hotel men today admitted room
rates over town have been increased
for the inaugural celebration period
but no one is confessing to quoting
the rates criticized by a member OF
Congress as "exhorbitant."
Representative Coombs, Demo.
crat, Of Texas said yesterday q
friend from his district was quoted
a price for two ordinary adjoining
rooms of $38 per room or $76 fol-
both rooms per day."
The majority of hotels over the
city have increased their rates
many OF them doubled, according
to Frank E. Weakly. president OF
the Washington Hotel Association
Along Pennsylvania avenue, the
parade route, the Willard and the
Raleigh Hotels reported they dou-
bled their rates, which will range
from SIG to $32 a day. The Roger
Smith, also doubled, will have a
top Of $40.
The Washington Hotel, located at
the strategic corner of Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
NV, said rates had been increased
but declined to reveal the top
figure"
Hotels in the downtown area not
increasing rates included the May
flower, the Carlton and the Occi-
dental. The Occidental, which faces
Pennsylvania avenue near Fifteenth
street, will allow friends" to use its
balconies without charge.
Others raising rates include the
Annapolis, the Roosevelt, the Ward
man Park and the Ambassador.

This, he said. pointed to every. evi.
dence Of what Is becoming to bt
anything but an economic admins
tration." He referred to the Every
simple Inauguration of the last
President on the lawn of the White
House"
Replying to Senator Morse, Sem
ator Lucas charged that the big in
augural stands on the east front Of
the Capitol had been ordered by a
Republican committee in the 80th
Congress, headed by Senator Brooks,
Republican, Of Illinois.
G. o. p. Built Stand"
Senator Lucas said a contract had
been let before the Democrats came
into power, and that the Republic
cans had built that stand for the
Inauguration of Gov. Dewey, not
Truman
Il suggested that we cancel the
contract" said Senator Lucas, land
have the Inauguration on the bal
cony of the White House. But that
could not be done. The contract
was let and couldn't be terminated
ANY extravaganza must be laid at
the hands of the Republicans, not
the Democrats"
Senator Morse insisted still that
thousands of dollars would be
wasted in the inaugural celebration
Senator Hickenlooper, Republican,
of Iowa, said he could see mo justi-
f1cation" for a holiday Friday, at
public expense. 1t would be nothing
but "stoppage of Federal work for
one day." he said.
Inconvenience Seen
Senator KnoWland, Republican, of
California, pointed out that people
were coming from all parts of the
country to Washington for the cele-
bration Thursday. Some of them
might want to do public business
with the Government Friday, he
thought, but if the Government was
closed Friday, these people would
have to wait over until MONDAY for
such purpose.

q 5000 fine or $50 days in jail. Garris
was accused Of stealing a pistol after
slipping through the unlocked WIN
dow Of home on Twenty-ninth
street NV.
While repelling the intruder
today, Miss WOODS suffered a cut
right hand that required three
stitches in Georgetown Hospital.
The bedroom of her apartment,
where she fought for fully five
minutes while attempting to attract
nelgnbors with screams, was in wild
disorder when the man finally fed.
Miss Woods gave this account to
police:
She had dozed off after retiring
about As minutes earlier when she
heard STRINGS in the room. She
called out: Who are you; what do
you want?"
The man answered: Don't scream
Or will kill you"
When she fought at him, the
man went into front room and
returned holding the knife. Miss
Woods had leaped to her feet and
turned on light.
The man lunged with the knife
and Miss Woods screamed. Throw
ing up her hands in defense, she
grabbed the knife blade with her
right hand and twisted the mans
arm behind his back. He lost his
grip on the knife, but the affray
was not over.
Kicks Phone of Hook.
For several minutes the assailant
attempted to regain possession Of
the knife. Once Miss Woods broke
away and ran to the telephone in
the room. She had no time to call
police, but she kicked the instru-
ment off its hook.
Then she ran to the French doors,
half ajar in the rear of the room,
and screamed as loud as she could.
At another juncture, she bumped
AGAINST the wall, hoping to attract
her neighbor in an adjoining apart
nent.
Finally, she found a chance to
dash for the front door and up the
steps leading from her basement
apartment. The man tore at her
psiama top as she passed him, then
he also ran from the apartment.
Outside Roy McGuinnes, the land
lord. saw the man dash across the
street and vault the gate OF high
white picket fence surrounding the
home of Defense Secretary Forrestal
Man Ignores Shouts.
Mr.. McGuinnes shouted at the
fugitive to stop, but he hurried on
Meanwhile, Mr.. McGuinnes' wife
Elinor, heard the noise from upstairs
and dashed down. Mr.. McGuinnes
attempted to restrain her, but she
ran across the street to'Tard the
vanishing figure before giving up the
chase.
From the description of light

Miss Woods, police went to Garris

Un.American Probers
Disagree on Report;
Completion IsDe|ayed

Sharp disagreement over con-
tents Of the final report of the
old House Committee on Un-
American Activities has delayed its
completion and may block moves
to submit it to the new Congress,
members disclosed today.
The report of committee inveSti-
cations and recommendations for
1947-48 was to have come out this
week. Committee officials said 1t
was still in preparation" and ten
tative copie shave been distributed
to former members, including three
no longer in the House.
At least one Democratic member,
still i'll the House. has refused to
sign the report in its present form
and has said he would file a
minority report unless certain cor
rections" were made, it was learned.
He repeatedly opposes, among
other things. the manner in which
the report reviews the Condor
case" without having given a public
hearing to DR.. Edward U. Condor.
director Of the National Bureau Of
Standards. A subcommittee last
year described DR.. Condor as the
weakest link in our atomic secur-
ity." DR.. Condor denied this and
demanded a hearing.
Film Inquiry Included.
The report also is understood to
deal with the committees invesu-
CATION of Communist activities in
the motion picture industry as well
as Communist espionage and infil-
tration in Government agencies.
The problem of getting the re-
port before the 8lst Congress took
on added completely in view of the
dispute. The old committee ex-
pired January 3 and the new one
has not been appointed or Or
sanized. 4
The usual procedure" commit
Tee member explained. lis for the
committee to ask the House for an
extension of time for filing report.
OF course, no such request can be
made by the committee under pres
ent circumstances. Perhaps a new
committee, when organized. can
make the request and get the re-
port in. Or an individual House
member might make a motion to
that effect. But submission might
be delayed if not prevented If the
old committee can't agree on its
report
Precedent for Late Filings
A spokesman for a former men,
bers said he felt sure Congress
would be glad 10 receive final COM
mittee report of this kind" There
is ample precedent for such late fill
ines by committees which were
"oeader' than the Committee on
un-American Activities.
The report, when and if submit
ted to the House, will have the
signature of former Republican
Representative Mcdowell of Penn
ss'lvania and Vail of Illinois, who
were defeated for reelection, and
the newly elected Senator Mundt.
Republican, OF South Dakota, who
was acting chairman of the House
committee last year.
Representative Davenport, Demo-
erat, Of Pennsylvania, the man who
defeated Mr.. Mcdowell, declared
yesterday that the committee was
responsible directly or indirectly for
"elther murder or suicide bro
ken homes. broken lives and shat
tered regulations.
Urging that the committee be
abolished. he introduced a resolu-
ton to transfer its functions to the
House Judiciary Committee.
