Mickey was washing his hands
nearby and it is no secret that the

The henchmen were arrested by
two rookie policemen soon after
they were seen leaving the scene
of beating of a radio shop owner.
Higherups in the police depart

their "hushed-up" release.
Cohen and the henchmen are

Parliament Debating Pact.
Russia's complaint came at a
moment when the Italian Parlia-
ment is debating ratification of
the pact.
In a swift rejoinder, the British
Foreign Office declared the west
ern powers have no intention of
building up Italy's armed forces
beyond the limits laid down in
the treaty.
A London spokesman termed in
valid Russia's complaint that
Italy. by joining the pact. unlaw-
fully had entered an alliance pur-
suing aggressive aims.
The North Atlantic pact is es-
sentially a defensive undertaking,
not directed against any one" the
spokesman told news confer

The swift retort presumably is
designed to counteract any effects

New Catholic Action
Speaks for Church,
Czech Reds Declare
BY the Assoeioied Press

PRAGUE, July 20.-The con-
ctrolled press claimed today that
the new government sponsored
Catholic Action movement had
.supplanted Archbishop Josef Beran
and his bishops as the spokes-
man for Czechoslovakia's Roman
Catholics.
This claim, advanced in the
newspaper Lidova Demokracie, in
dicated the government was pre-
,paring to bypass the isolated
bishops and deal directly with the
separatist organization.
In that way, the government
could obtain Catholic approval"
for the proposed new law for con-
troll of the churches and also new
state-church agreement dictated
on government terms.
Archbishop Beran and his heir
archy had been fighting against
both these measures. They had
particularly fought against a pro-
posed state church agreement
which, they contend. was "a
dictate and not an agreement"
and which would "enslave" the
Catholic Church here.
But now Archbishop Beran,
isolated and under police surveil-
lance in his palace here for the
last month. appears to have been
effectively silenced. Most of his
bishops are reported in similar
position.
r Their church press has been
supplanted by government
sponsored press for clergy and
-1aity.
6 Archbishop Beran and the
Vatican have branded the govern
ment-sponsored Catholic Action
"schismatic" Priests loyal to the
Archbishop have charged :, that it
has promoted by deceit and fraud
and the taking of names on the
clist of its alleged supporters.
Leaders of the separatist group
have been accommodated.

In opposing the bill, Mr.. Dolton
said:
This bill should never be
passed and. if it is, you will not
have home rule but you would be
giving Washington more or less Of
a dictatorship"
He struck at the plan to have
the proposed council appoint a
city manager, who would not be
required to be a District resident.
Passage of this bill would lay
Washington open to Communistic
government. Let them elect five
or six Communists and what

added.

nounced by Chairman Mcmillan
Of the full District Committee, to-
days hearing was to have been

hearings are under the direction
OF Mr.. Harris. who will determine

Harris is a steadfast opponent of
home rule.
Mr.. Mcmillan, too. is opposed to
home rule. but, according to a
reliable report, he plans to kill the
bill in the full committee. if it
reaches that body, instead of leav-
ing this to the subcommittee.
Some observers on Capitol Hill
say Mr.. Harris does not plan to
take that chance but seeks to vote
the suffrage plan down in the
subcommittee.
Mr.. Harris, however, has de-
clared he will seek action by his
subcommittee "at the earliest pos
sible moment" after the hearings
are concluded. He has not yet set
any date for such action.
Among those who were sched-
uled to appear before the subcom-
mittee today was Elmer E. Batzell
of the Macarthur Boulevard Cit
liens Association. He is a for
mar president of the association
and was expected to testify for
the home-rule bill.
Present officers of the associa-
tion, however. challenged the
right of Mr.. Batzell to speak for
either the association or the
neighborhood it represents.

of the group. sent q letter to Mr..
Harris In wllichehe said the asso-
citation has taken no action on the
current home rule bills. although
the association has been in favor
of home rule for the last 35 years.

ARE extremely jealous of what they
regard as legislative prerogatives.
Indicative Of the feeling is that
expressed by Senator Hickenlooper
of Iowa, ranking Republican mem
ber of the joint committee. He
insists that the. present Atomic
Energy Act bans giving away Sc
erets to any one by any one.
Mr.. Truman was reported to
have raised the question at the
Blair House meeting. A Demo-
cratic official emphasized that the
. President was not threatening to
move without consulting Congress
officially. but was merely sound
ing out" the idea.
One Democratic Senator noted
that the late President Roosevelt
entered into an executive agree
ment with former Prime Minister
Winston Churchill which gave
Britain and Canada access to war
time atomic development work. He
said Mr.. Truman would have this
r precedent should he choose to
20 ahead with an agreement Of
his own.
On the basis of known facts,
there seems to be strong con-
,gressional sentiment against both
an executive agreement and shar-
ing the Nations postwar secrets
: IN any way.
Although both Britain and
Canada were given full access to
the wartime A-bomb development
cooperation between the three
was brought to a virtual halt. by
the 1916 Atomic Energy Act.
Since that time, the United
States has made significant ad-
-vances both in the design OF
bombs and in their production.
The key to continued advances
and production may well lie in
obtaining adequate supplies of
uranium. And in that respect the
Nation thus far has had to depend
heavily on sources controlled by
Britain and Canada.
That the joint committee is
aware of this fact was graphically
noted in the Mcmahon statement
in this way:
"At the present time. the three
countries are cooperating in a
limited number of specifically de-
fined areas of information, as we'll

tary of the Interior Krug after
near riots developed when colored
swimmers sought to use the pool
which had been used by white
swimmers.
At about the same time, the Nc
Kinley pool. which also had been
used by white residents. became
predominantly colored in patron
age.
Although the six pools had been
operated on non-segregated
basis officially, white residents had
left Francis and Banneker pools to
colored swimmers and the colored
residents in turn had left the
other four pools to white SWIM
mers.
AS a condition to turning over
to the board the swimming pools,
tennis courts, golf links and other
play facilities, Secretary Krug in
sisted that the board eliminate its
segregation provisions from its by
laws. He also insisted, in a state
ment. that segregation should not
be imposed on any Of Interiors
facilities now operated on a non-
segregated basis.

rate Of progression as may be
consistent with the public inter-
est, public order and effective ad-
ministration."
The bylaws article adopted to-
day also states that all matters
of policy shall be determined by
the board and that a majority of
the whole board shall direct the
operation of all programs.

board cannot be stampeded into
determining what that time table
may be-"
