Senators Will Hold
Open Hearing tuesday
On Minton Nomination
Committee Will Listen to
Any Witnesses Opposed to
Choice for Supreme Court
By the kssoeioted Press

The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee today ordered a public hearing
next Tuesday on the appointment
of Judge Sherman Minton to the
Supreme Court.
Members decided, at a closed
session. to listen then to any wit
nesses who wish to protest Presi-
dent. Truman's choice to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Justice Wiley B. Rutledge.
There was no talk of calling
Judge Minton himself to testify,
members said. Ordinarily, Su-
preme Court nominees are not
asked to appear.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan. q committee member,
said he wants full hearings on the
nomination.
Wants Data on Background.
Senator Ferguson told report
ers. before the committee met
that he doesn't know of any cur
rent opposition to Judge Minton.
But I think we should have
fun hearings to develop informa-
tion about Minton's legal ability
and about his background" the
Michigan Senator said. II don't
know the man nor much about
him"
Judge Minton, former Indiana
Senator, is now a Federal judge
in Chicago. He and President
Truman developed close friend
ship in their\Senate days and Re-
publicans may revive their at
tacks on what some of them have
called government by crony."
Heated Opposition Unlikely.
Beyond that. however, there
seemed little likelihood that op-
position to Judge Minton would
develop the heat aroused. for in
stance. by the Presidents NOM
ination of former Gov. Mon C.
Wallgren of Washington to head
the National Security Resources
Board. The Wallgren appoint
ment was withdrawn after it was
blocked in the Senate Armed
Services Committee.

raised to Judge Minton on the

Big Power Cooperation
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-Brig.
Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the
Philippines was elected president
of the United Nations Assembly
today. He Immediately chal-
lenged the So delegations to make
this "the peace assembly"
Gen. Romulo was elected a few
minutes after the Assembly
opened it's fourth session in the
packed blue and gold Assembly
chamber at Flushing Meadow
Park, site of the 1899 World Fair.
Gen. Romulo got SO of the 50
votes.
The Soviet bloc cast five votes

Calls for Cooperation.
Gen. Romulo pleaded for CO.
operation among the big powers.
He said world political conditions
already were improving and it was
the job of the Assembly to see
that this trend continued.
This session." he said, "coin-
cides with a turning point in post
war international relations.
Though many formidable OBJ
stacles to world peace remain, the
danger of a new war which over
shadowed our deliberations in
Paris a year ago has greatly
abated. .
Il hope this session viii earn
for itself the title. the Peace AS
sembly.'"
The 48-year-old Philippine di-
plomat, soldier and former news
paperman is known as bitter foe
of Communism.
What many believe will be the
keynote of the session was sounded
in the opening message from the
So nations retiring president,
Foreign Minister Herbert v. Evatt
of Australia.
Evatt Expresses Regrets.
DR.. Evatt expressed regrets he
was unable to be present. He said,
however, that the continuing prog
ress and development of the U. N.
will always be matter of deep
concern for him.
On the economic problem DR..
Evatt said:
Through the program of tech
nical assistance to economically
under developed areas the United
Nations can help to remove many
of the great disparities in living
standards and economic oppor-
tunities which separate its men,

Secretary of State Acheson and
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.

as they shook hands for photog-
raphers.
Other leading diplomats present
included British Foreign Secre-

Czechs Arrest Dozens
Of Priests and Nuns
In New Church Attack
Showdown Believed Near
As Reds Launch Drive
On Catholic Groups
By the Associoted Press

PRAGUE, Sept. 20.-The Czech
oslovak government has jailed
dozens of Catholic priests and
nuns in a big new wave of arrests
aimed at breaking spreading re-
sistance to state control schemes,
a statement from church sources
said today.
The report, given to correspond
ents here and enumerating at least
30 arrests, was termed only a par
tial list. It said more arrests were
expected as the long state-churcl
fight neared showdown stage.
Whole Groups Seized.
In one case the entire personnel
of a monastery was reported
seized. In another the staff of a
theological seminary was taken,
together with its Office printing
equipment.
In some cases the reasons for
arrests were not known. But, ac-
cording to church sources. the
campaign apparently was a wide
spread breakdown instituted
after offers of salary increases
and other Establishments had
failed to win the priests over to
the governments side in the
state-church controversy.
The government has published
a proposed church law. to be
enacted by Parliament this fall,
which would give the state power
over all church appointments and
administration.
Three Obiectives Seen.
According to churchmen, the
governments drive apparently
had three major objectives:
l. To break up communica-
tions network by which priests
maintain contact with Archbishop
Josef Beran and the other bishops.
Archbishop Beran has remained
inside his police-guarded palace
since June 10.
2. To break priests resistance
to the proposed new church civil
law which would make all church.

3-To frighten priests from car
rying out the Vatican's excom-
munication decree and punish for
treason those who do.

Arms Bi|ICa||ed
Peace Bargain
ByVandenberg
Foreign Aid Insures
Against War, He
Declares in Senate
By J. A. O'LeaN

The $l.314,010.000 foreign mill
tary aid bill was called "a bargain
policy for peace" by Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, of Michigan
as he took the Senate floor today
to support the measure.
Striking another blow for BIZ
partisan foreign policy, which he
helped establish during the war,
the Michigan Republican said:
whether it be regarded as fire
insurance or life insurance, it Is
a bargain policy for peace"
Backing up completely the
speeches yesterday by Chairman
Connally of the Foreign Relations
Committee and Chairman Ty-
dings of the Armed Services Com
mittee, Senator Vandenberg de-
MED the bill will start an arms
race. Its only purpose is to make
efhcient existing military forces
in the nations cooperating with
the United States to prevent ag-
gression, he said.
Stand Is Same as in July.
Senator Vandenberg said he
stands today exactly where he
stood in July when the North At
lantic treaty was being debated.
That stand maintains that, while
the mutual-aid Article III of the
treaty imposes some obligation for
military aid, the most vital part
of the treaty is Article v, under
which an attack on any one of
the treaty nations shall be deemed
an attack on all.
He told Senators in July they
could support the treaty and still
exercise their own judgment on
the amount of implementation.
He still recognizes this right of
independent judgment 80 long as
they recognize they are now deal
ing with the supreme law of the
land (the treaty. which creates
an obligation to deal fairly and
honestly with the question of i'm
fermentation"
Senator Vandenberg recalled
that the original draft of the
arms bill was unsatisfactory and
unacceptable" but added that "in
the main those objections have
been met"
He predicted the arms bill will
pass by about the same vote given
the North Atlantic treaty-82 to
Is. There may be q closer de-
cision. however, on preliminary
moves to reduce the amount.
Vote Hoped for by Thursday.
In contrast to the long debate
on the treaty. leaders hope to
vote on the military aid bill by
Thursday.
The only real fight is over
a move by Senator George. DEM
ocrat, of Georgia to cut in half
the 81 ,00O, ,000, 900 ear-marked for
Western Europe. The Georgian
originally advocated a reduction
to $500, 600, 900, but has modified
his proposal to correspond almost
exactly with the amount voted by
the House last month-$580,-
1876 900.
Minority Leader Wherry told
reporters he has promised Demo-
cratic leaders to cooperate in an
effort to push the arms bill to an
early vote.

Higher u. 5. Payment
To District Is Urged
Al Citizens Clinic
Many Groups Spokesman
DeIuge Senators With
Legislative, Ideas
By Don S. Worren

A higher Federal payment and
Treasury advances to speed con-
struction of the city's backlog of
needed public improvements were
among proposals advanced today
at the fourth citizens clinic con-
ducted> by Chairman Nicely of the
Senate District Committee.
There was a veritable flood of
legislative ideas poured into the
record by spokesmen for various
groups. A long parade of wit
nesses-totaling nearly 60-wait-
ed to be heard and another ses-
sion will be held at 10 am. to-
morrow.
Frederick P. H. Siddons, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, led
the list of witnesses and called for
adoption of q formula to bring a
higher payment by the United
States toward District costs. He
suggested also a Treasury loan to
help the District catch up with its
needed school construction.
The trade body spokesman re-
newed an appeal for District
representation in Congress ano
announced q vigorous effort was
planned to obtain such right.
Sexregation Ban Urged.
Abandonment Of segregation ir
the operation of the public schools
and in other services of the city
government was proposed by Mrs
John McClintock, representing the
District chapter Of the League OF
Women Voters. Mrs. McClintock
told Senator Nicely: After a
long term study of the minorities
in our community. the League of
Women Voters of the District
came to the conclusion that seq
regation Is based on discrimina-
ton and that it is as harmful to
those who practice 1t as it is to
those against whom it is prac-
ticed." .a
She said she hoped for the time
when the teaching of tolerance
and understanding Of gil peoples
would not be "hindered by arti-
fetal barriers which separate chill
dren only be cause Of the color Of
their skim"
In this connection. Mrs. McClin-
took said basic legislative reform
as to the schools should involve
repeal of all previous legislation
for the school system and the
enactment Of a basic new code.
establishing the law for operation
and maintenance Of the school
system.
Striner Testifies.
Other witnesses at the morn
ing session included Benjamin
Striner, president Of the Fedora
tion Of Businessmen's Associa-
tions, who protested the size Of
District taxes and declared that
a further increase in the gasoline
tax was being planned by city Of
ficials. He said this anticipated

100000 Approved
For SesquicentenniaI
By Senate Committee
Group Also Votes Funds
To Finonce $3.50 Roises
For District Employees
By Harold B. ROGERS

The Senate Appropriations
Committed today approved So
100000 to finance the sesquicen-
tennial celebration here next year.
In sending the item to the Sen
ate floor in the first supplemental
appropriation bill, the committee
made another attempt to get con-
gressional approval.
The House has twice turned
down requests for sesquicentennial
funds. It first refused the funds
in the interest Of economy after
the House Appropriations Com
mittee included it in an appropri-
alton bill. Some legislators con-
tended a celebration should be
financed principally by private
business interests.
Bill Faces Conference.
President Truman then renewed
the appeal for funds, but the Sec
ond request also was turned down
by the House. II
If approved by the Senate. as
result of today's committee ac-
ton, the appropriation bill will
go into conference with the House.
1t must be finally approved in COM
promise form by both bodies be-
fore it can go to the White House.
The Senate committee today
also approved a fund of 81, ,205, $50
to pay the long delayed $3.50 sal
ary increases for about $1,000 Dis
trict government employees.
The committee, however. denied
recent request for $50, 900 more
to finance the Districts system of
day care for the children of work.
ing mothers. The bill sent to the
Senate carries only the $50. 900
already approved by the House.
District officials had asked the
Senate for the $4,000 additional
to bring the total up to 500, 900
already authorized by special act
of Congress. a.
District Funds Increased.
The Senate committee increased
the funds for the District from
$4.748.245, approved by the House,
to $4,864.219, an increase Of more
than $115.000: The appropriations
cover many agencies of the city
government. The total is In addi-
tion to the $3,000,000 recon-
mended for the sesquicentennial.
In approving the fund for the
sesquicentennial celebration here
next year, the Senate committee
said 1t did so with the hope that
this undertaking will be self
'liquidating and that these funds
will be returned to the Treasury
of the United States.
The sesquicentennial is to cele-
|brate the 150th anniversary Of the
establishment Of Washington as
the Nations Capital.

that testimony during the recent
hearing had indicated that ap-
