questioner that he did not con-
template sending another message
to Congress on civil rights, action
on which was killed by Senate
filibuster engineered by Southern
Democrats with Republican help,
Mr.. Truman said he had been
laying that issue before Congress
since l947 and that he thought
his stand was clear.
The questions regarding patron
age arose as a result of visit of
Senator McGrath and Democratic
leaders to the White House yes
terday.
Out Of the conference came an
agreement that nobody who OPEN
ly opposed Mr.. Truman's election
or who went around making
nasty personal remarks about the
President because Of his civil
rights program-will get q pa
tronage job.
Senator McGrath said he has
asked House members and Sem
ators to put all Of the prospective
appointees in their States to this
loyalty test" before they turn
over the names to him. Once
he has satisfied himself on that
point, he said he viii pass the
names on to the President.
Unless the independent Tru-
man groups can prove that the
prospective appointee in question
was "disloyal" to the President.
Senator McGrath indicated he ex-
poets the committees recon-
mendation to be accepted.
In any event. the national
chairman made it clear that the
independent groups win be asked
to stay out of the patronage field
that traditionally belongs to Con-
gress. They are likely to be con-
suited. however. on other political
matters affecting their States.
Senator McGrath insisted that
how the Senators and Repre-
sentatives vote on administration
bills before Congress viii not have
any effect on their PATRONAGE

D. E., Guard Officers
Clash Over Damage
To Armory by Rodeo

The condition Of the National
Guard Armory floor as the result
of the last weeks rodeo became
the center of dispute today.
Some officers of the Guard as
serted that the floor would have
to be sanded and refinished. They
said this would cost $1,000 of the
5000 the civilian management
received in rental.
II. O. Akers, superintendent of
buildings for the District Engineer
Department, said the rodeo didn't t
do the. floor any good" but he
said the job of putting the floor
back In shape will not run over
$50.
Damage Called Routine.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, COM
mander Of the District Guard. said
he had not yet received Mr..
Akers' report, but that damage to
the floor was only routine. He
said he hopes to have the floor
sanded and refinished as it should
be done about once a year as a
maintenance measure.
Red clay was dumped on the
floor to provide a course for the
rodeo animals. To remove it after
the rodeo was over a bulldozer
and men with picks and shovels
u,ora mt m uyork
Arthur j. Bergman, manager for
the civilian activities at the Ar
mory, said the bulldozer moved
Only the surface Of the clay and
did not touch the floor. The bot
tom layer OF clay was removed
nanually, he said. He said some OF
the scars complained of by the
Guardsmen were there before the
rodeo.
Guard Rail Removed.
The Guardsmen also called at
tention to an 8-foot section Of an
outside guard rail which had been
removed. Mr.. Bergman dismissed
this as no more than IS welding
job"
For the first three days Of the
rodeo the animals were Quartered
in a corral set up inside the hall
Then the Health Department Or
dered the animals outside except
during performances.
Mr.. Bergman said the section OF
rail was removed so the animals
would not have to be led into the
street to reach a new corral.
