Lucas Urges ECA Vote
Today, but KEN Rider
Threatens New Delay
British Socialism Critics
May Speak; Senote Floor
Ruling on Move Awaited .
By the Associated Press

Weary Senate leaders today
began their third week of trying to
get quick Senate approval of
multi billion dollar foreign
recovery bill
/ Piled up behind it is a stack
of delayed appropriations ano
other necessary legislation.
! Majority Leader Lucas urged
Senators to get the foreign funds
measure out of the way before
they quit for the day. But Senator
KEN, Republican. of Missouri. and
others were pushing an anti
socialism rider.
Aimed chiefly at England anc
France. the KEN amendment
would bar foreign aid funds fol
any country that nationalized
major industry in the future.
Senator KEN lost his first
skirmish by a ruling that the
provision amounted to legislation
in an appropriation bill, which
is against the rules. He has ap-
pealed to the Senate floor.
Senator Butler. Republican, of
Nebraska, said he wants to say
something about naturalization
and Specialization of industries be-
fore the vote. Several other
critics of the British Labor
governments program Of taking
over major industries also may
speak, including Senators Wherry
Republican, of Nebraska, Jenner,
Republican, of Indiana, and Nc
Clellan. Democrat. of Arkansas.
Sponsors of the European Re-
covery Program, which will get
the big bulk of funds in the bill
carrying more than S., 500, 000, 900
say the KEN provision amounts
to telling other nations what their
government policies should be.
Senator KEN frankly agrees,
contending the entire Marshall
Plan is "a gigantic interference
in the internal affairs of other
governments.
Once the KEN proposal is out
of the way, passage of the big
bill should come quickly. The
Senate began debate on it July o.
sent it back to the Appropriations
Committee to remove legislative
provisions July % and then re-
sumed the current consideration

By Don S, Worren

The House District Judiciary
Subcommittee today delayed &C
ton until August Is on bills to
give Washington an elected city
government after defeating, to 2,
a move to table the entire suffrage
issue.
Defeat of the motion to kill the
suffrage plan was taken as a vic
tory for suffrage advocates, even
though action was deferred on a
counter-move to forward the en-
tire subject to the full House Dis
trict Committee.
The question of passing the ISSUE
to the full committee is expected
to come up at the August Is meet.
ing Of the subcommittee.
The individual vote, taken at a
closed session. was not revealed
but one of those voting against
the plan to kill the suffrage issue
in the subcommittee was it's chair
man, Representative Harris, DEM
ocrat, of Arkansas, although he
has been opposed to enactment of
District suffrage bills.
Sharp Disagreement Reported.
The subcommittee met in closed
session for an hour and a half.
Officials said there was sharp dis
agreement over various major pro-
visions of the pending bills, includ-
ing the Kefauver bill passed May
81 by the Senate. Representative
Klein. Democrat. of New York has
introduced an identical copy of
this measure in the House.

elected city government plan
was discussed at today's session,
but was not brought up for action.
Mr.. Harris announced that he
felt personally that the suffrage
question should be submitted to
the full committee. He said he
had serious doubts. however, of
the wisdom of attempts to gain
final House action at this session.
Harris Explains Decisions.
This view also is held by some
other committee members.
In announcing the subcom-
mittee's decisions, Mr.. Harris told
reporters: Discussion ensued as
to the propriety of trying to work
out the sharp differences in major
points of the various bills, par
ticularly as to three of them, be-
fore reporting to the full COM
mittee.
"A motion to table the entire
issue was not agreed to-"
He said this was by voice vote
and gave the ballot as 5 to 2,
but said he did not feel he should
announce the names of those
voting for or against, except as to
himself.
The motion then was made to
report the issue to the full COM
mittee, but this was withdrawn
during discussion.
Opposed Delay of Week.

DANGEROUS DRIVING

THE WAY CARS and trucks speed on the roads, many
OF them with very poor headlights, some with no taillights,
and poor brakes, if any at all, it is something short of a
miracle that serious accidents do not come more often. Roads
are narrow, and large portions are in poor shape, especially in
certain sections, all of which add to the possibility of serious
accidents, yet irresponsible people jump to drive cars and
other vehicles, and human life is endangered.
WHILE IT IS often necessary to get about the Islands
quickly, and from town to town with some speed, vet it will
be found that normal driving can fill the bill. In the great
majority of accidents, it will be found that the trouble starts
when some irresponsible driver tries to show how fast he can
drive, or take chances where a more thoughtful person would
hesitate and think a bit. Passing on the wrong side, at terri
tic speeds, and when buses and other vehicles are stopping
to take on or discharge passengers is a constant source Of
danger.
IN ADDITION to all the ~thoughtess things people do
is the loading Of trucks with people who ride perched in
dangerous positions as the trucks speed over rough roads and
swerve around sharp corners. It must be remembered that
the roads of this island, particularly those between Christian
sted and Kings Hill, were laid out at a time when horse
drawn vehicles were used exclusively. 1t did not matter, or
little, if blind corners existed then, but today it is different.
Yet the engineers who laid out those roads did a good lob,
and if drivers of cars and trucks observe rules and exercised
care little danger would be feared.
THE POLICE ought to check up on our vehicles, espe-
ciaHy lights and brakes, and periodic inspection made as
heretofore. This s,for the public safety, and everyone
owner and pedestrian alike should understand and cooperate.
Before serious, accidents take place, when it will be too late,
let us check on ourselves now.
