Mr.. Kelley said the recorded in
terviews with prisoners Of war
which Miss Gillars featured on
her propaganda broadcasts were
cunningly designed to build up a
listening audience in the United
States.
He said she posed as a Red
Cross worker to persuade Ameri-
can prisoners to speak into the
microphone with her, making
sure that she uttered no propa-
ganda in their presence.
But later. along came our
Midge at 5000 Nazi marks a

ganda in front of and behind the
recorded interviews so that in

Another amendment would in
sert a new section in the Rent
Act to reduce evictions of tenants
who refuse to buy apartments in
a cooperative project. This
would permit buyers who had
bought apartments before the first
day of this month for their own
occupancy to evict tenants who
did not invest in the project. After

The committee postponed &C
ton on both the pay raise and the
measure to correct inequities in
teachers pay, after serious discus
sion by committee members of the
financial plight of the city. The
measure for the pay raise bill, it
was explained by Representative
Davis, Democrat, of Georgia, car
ries a provision that the increases
would not become effective unless
sufficient revenue was found to
keep the city out of the red.
Bill Felt to Be Hypothetical.
Some members felt this bill was
very "iffy," leaving city employees
in a most uncertain position. Rep
resentative Miller. Republican. of
Nebraska, and Mr.. O'Hara pointed
out that the House had approved
pay raises for policemen, firemen
and teachers last year. They en-
phasized. however. the legislation
had died in the Senate.
Representative Davis explained
to the committee that, during
earlier consideration of the pay
raise situation, three subcommit-
tees had cut the teachers figure
from $3.50 to 5000. But after
further consideration, he said that
the opposition to the $3.50 Agure
for teachers had disappeared, so
far as he knew.
No ..provision-4is carried in the
pay raise bill forper diem workers
of the city. Mr.. West pointed out.
He said the Commissioners and
the District Minimum Wage Board
had authority to increase per
diem pay. In answer to COM
mittee questions, however. he said
District officials could not make
their pay retroactive.

Pending Bills Mentioned.
Mr.. Davis explained that bills
to give a $3.50 increase to the
classified workers of the city gov
ernment were pending before both
House and Senate Civil Service
Subcommittee.
The cost of giving increases to
the classified workers, policemen,
flremen and teachers on a retro

committee was told by Represen-
tative Bates, Republican, of Mass

Committee and the Fiscal Sub

Mr.. Bates said that with the
already threatened $8,000,000 def
icit in the District budget for next
fiscal year, the pay raises would
require new revenue Of about
$18, 100000.
Chairman Mcmillan said he
hoped the full committee would
have a special meeting sometime
next week to consider the tax
bill, the pay raise bill and a mea-
sure to eliminate inequities in

grees.

Radiation Peril From
r
A-bomb Blast in Air
BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. Res
cue workers may enter areas af-
fected by air-bursting atomic
bombs almost Immediately with
out undue fear of deadly radia-
ton, an A-bomb expert said today.
That statement was made by
DR.. Eugene P. Pendergrass, head
OF the radiology department of the
University of Pennsylvania School
of Medicine and Hospital, in a
copyrighted article in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Although the physical destruc-
tion in such an area would be very
extensive, DR.. Pendergrass said:
The early concept of doomed
area of approximately two square
miles directly under the point in
air where the bomb explodes
is now thoroughly disproved.
Where the attack is made over
q metropolitan area. it is prob
able that many persons WILL sur
; vive the bombs deadly instan-
taneous radiations. Their sur
, vival will be the result of chance
shielding effect from reinforced
concrete, brick and tile floors and
walks"
The University of Pennsylvania
scientist said his opinions do not
pertain to underwater atomic
bomb explosions with their ac-
companying mushroom" of
poisonously radioactive water.
DR.. Pendergrass said he was not
attempting to "debunk'' the power
of nuclear explosions, but rather
to draw it down to a somewhat
more rational focus.
DR.. Pendergrass was present as
an expert consultant at Bikini and
last summer made series of
studies of the A-bomb effects in
Japan.

|Gravediggers' Wives
Fail 70 Move Cardinal
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, March 7.-Francis
Cardinal spellman refused today
to soften his stand toward strik-
ing gravediggers at Calvary Gem
etery despite the pleas of their
wives.
I'VE got no place and are dis
couraged and disgusted," Mrs. Sig
mund Czak said after a confer
ence with the Cardinal.
She was one of a committee Of
five women named to represent
families of the 240 striker mem
bers of the CIO Cemetery Work.
ers, an affiliate of the Food. To-
bacco and Agricultural Workers.
They conferred with Cardinal
Spellman to give him the strikers
side of the story.
"The Cardinal promised us
nothing" Mrs. Czack continued.
He wants the men to 60 back to
work as individuals. not as union
men, and said he would not allow
members of the strikers commit
tee to go back to work because
they are ringleaders.
1.-The Cardinal was adamant,
promising nothing except that
the strikers would return with a
small increase but not as union
men. He wants no part of the
union"
A hundred young priests and
seminary students returned to
the cemetery in Queens today
for their fourth day of grave
digging after Sunday holiday.
The men, supervised by the Cardi-
nal, dug more than $50 graves in
three days last week.
The Cardinal claims the parent
union is Communist dominated, :"
apd the strikers have voted to
seek to end the affiliation.
The wives drew up an appeal
to the Cardinal which said in
part:
1--WE know what our men are
fighting fora decent wage for
a f1ve-day week. Because of
this knowledge and because of our
Catholic faith, we are deeply ag-
grieved by the reckless and mis-
guided charges of communism
hurled at our loved ones and at
the leaders of the union"

Mr.. Mcconnell denied Mr..
Rodino's statement as to why Mr..
Hartley didn't run for reelection.
He said Mr.. Hartley told him at
the opening of the 80th Congress
two years ago that he had stated
publicly in his district he would
not run in 1948.
Mr.. Rodino said the people OF
his district want the Taft-Hartley
law repealed and he urged pas
sage of the Truman administra-
ton labor bill.
Approved by Senate Group.
This bill already has been ap-
proved by the Senate labor group
after lengthy hearings. 1t would
replace the Taft-Hartley law with
a revised version of the original
Wagner Labor Act of 1885.
Representative Madden, Demo-
crat, of Indiana. a member of the
Labor Committee last year, also
called for repeal Of the Taft-Hart-
ley law. He called it punitive
and restrictive labor legislation.
This Congress should move
rapidly" he said, ito carry out
the mandate which the American
people voted last November"
