By the Associosed Press

Clarence DerWent, president OF

by the Justice Department for re-
entry to the United States.
The 65-year-old British-born
actor was detained temporarily at
La Guardia Field in New York

toned for several hours and
eventually released on parole to
his attorney. pending a final ac-
ton on his re-entry.
MI. DerWent. who has made
his home in this country for 25
years while still retaining his
British citizenship, told New York
newsmen at the time that his
lengthy questioning concerned
possible Communist affiliations
He said he had never had any
such aff1liation. ~
The only explanation for Mr.

that he had arrived at the airport
to send to Washington for his file
to establish "unquestioned identi-
fication."
In response to inquiries about
Mr.. Derwent's version of his ques-
tioning, the department said:
"All aliens entering the United
States are asked the usual ques-
tions concerning Communist af-
f1liation. Mr.. DerWent has been
readmitted as a lawful returning
alien resident on the surrender
of his re-entry permit"
Mr.. Derwent went to Europe
with a troupe Of American actors
for the Ramlet festival in Den
mark. The party later toured

I0f Extra Session in

House Speaker Rayburn today
described as "nonsensical" reports
that Congress would quit in mid
summer and then come back for
an extra session in the fall.
Leaving the White House, where
he and other leaders held their
weekly conference with President
Truman, the Speaker-talking for
the group-said I'VE expect to be
in session three or four months
yet Under such circumstances.
he added, he did not see how it
was possible even to discuss an
extra session.
That particular point. Speaker
Rayburn continued, has never
been discussed with the President.
except for a reference made to
it "jokingly" today in view of a
published story that Congress
would quit around August l in
conformity with the Reorganiza
ton Act. and then come back
here November !. -=---. So
To Take up Welfare BILL, ,
Speaker Rayburn said the Presi-
dent was told that the House this
week would take up the bill to Gre
ate a Department of Welfare and
he said he expected the House to
report out later a measure to set
UP a Joint committee to inyesti-
gate lobbying.
The Senate has a bill to provide
for Senate inquiry alone, but
Speaker Rayburn believes that a
joint committee is the best way to
handle the matter. He said he
thinks Senate Majority Leader
Lucas likes that idea.
+. President Truman spoke in be-
half of joint investigation during
his campaign.
"Ahead of Game" Now.
Speaker Rayburn said that
right now we're ahead of the
game" in working on the Presi-
dents program in the House.
When asked what he thought
about the overall picture for the
Truman legislative program, which
has been having rough going. he
responded:
II don't think that anyone
thinks you could pass that pro-
gram in any one session. Re
member, this is only the first
session of the 81st Congress and
there will be another"

New York Teamsters
Blockade Shipments oi
Produce by Trucks
BY the Assosioted Press

NEW YORK, May 16.-AFL
teamsters. protesting a Govern
ment ruling they say is costing
them Jobs and earnings. have
blockaded truck shipments of
farm produce from rail terminals
in New Jersey to New York.
Rowing patrols Of teamsters
took up duty at interstate tun-
nels and ferries when the block
ade went into effect at 8 o'clock
last night.
A short time later a union
spokesman said, There's moth
ing rolling"
The claim Of success was made
by Joseph Papa, president OF
Local 202 of the AFL 1nterna-
tional Brotherhood Of Teamsters.
He said $50 patrols were out.
Extra Police Assigned.
Hundreds OF trucks normally
would be rolling into the city dur
ing the night.
Extra details OF New York City
police were assigned early today
to the Lincoln and Holland Tun-
nels and the George Washington
Bridge. Regular police watched
ferry terminals.
The blockade is not expected TO
have a great effect on New York
City's supply Of produce. Mr..
Papa said. however, it may re-
suit in higher retail prices.
The union put the blockade in
10 effect in protest against rul-
ing issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission last November
/. The ruling allows railroads to
charge an extra fee Of $35 to SAT
per carload for unloading produce
from freight cars foated here on
lighters across the Hudson River
from New Jersey.
Say Earnings Are Cut.
The New York teamsters con-
tend the ruling has diverted truck
business to New Jersey. cutting
the earnings of Local 202's 1900
drivers in half and putting some
members out Of work.
Mr.. Papa said that since the
ruling became effective about
1,100 members of Local 202 have
been put on part-time work or
lost their jobs.
Mr.. Papa said the ruling led
many merchants to pick up pro-
duce at rail terminals in New
Jersey instead of at the Hudson
River piers here.
Use Of railroad barges for de-
livering produce here increased
sharply during the week end, Mr..
Papa said. If the increase con-
tinues. he said. there will be no
need for the blockade"
