which baseball writers carry the records of the

During the military draft era, which dis
closed that ball players seemed singularly sus-

and hardship cases, Christopher stood above sus-
picion. At that time he was pitching for the
Philadelphia Athletics and the fact that he dared
pull on uniform was a tribute to his courage.

jections raised during House con-
sideration in the past session Of
Congress, were those to-:
l. Eliminate proposals for a Dis
trict civil service, leaving determi-
nation as to policies on this score
to be subject to later congressional
action. So
2. Permit proposals of the city
council to be approved or disapproved
with or without change by the pro-
posed House-Senate Joint District
Committee and thereafter by the
House or Senate, or rejected by one
or both of the same bodies under the
same rules.
Under the new plan legislative
proposals coming to Congress from
the District city council would be
subject to study and review by the
proposed Joint District Congress
sional Committee and by both houses
of Congress and subject to amend
ment by either or both houses.
This gets away from the COM
plant of last years DIRECTORS that
legislative proposals by the city
council would have to be approved
or rejected in toto by the House or
Senate.
Other Objections Met.
Some Of the most outstanding OBJ
jections to the District suffrage plan
as presented to the House Rules
Committee last summer were claims
that the House or Senate would
have to approve, without change,
and legislative proposals of the city
council which won approval by pro-
posed Joint District Committee.
This would be obviated by the
change proposed in the new Auchin-
Gloss bill which would permit
amendments to the city council pro-
posals either in the Joint Commit
tee or in the House or Senate.
The original Auchincloss bill also
proposed provisions for the appoint
ment, classification and retirement
of District government employees
under the city's own S system. Under
the shortened bill these questions
would be subject to decisions on
bills under the city's new charter
mechanism.
Clarence M. Pierce, on the staff
of the Auchincloss subcommittee in
the past Congress, made the point
that the revised bill still provides
for an increased Federal payment
to the District.
This calls for a continuation of
the 81 100000 payment toward costs.

chairman of one committee and
serving as a member of another
committee. Such a rule would pre-
vent Representative Rankin OF Mis-
sissippi from staying on the I'm
American Activities Committee If
he accepts the Craftsmanship of the
Veterans Committee. for which he
is in line. Mr.. Walter said it also
would affect Representative Wood Of
Georgia If he becomes new chair
man of the Un-American commit
tee, since he is also a member of
the Labor Committee.
Other Decisions Awaited.
The many organization problems
connected with changing party con-
troll on Capitol Hill may put of for
several weeks the start of action on
the major items in the Truman pro-
gram. There are several matters,
however, the new Congress must
tackle soon, including:
A decision on extension Of rent
control. because it expires in March.
The fixing of a ceiling on Federal
spending for next year. which exist
ing law says must be reported to
the House by February Is. Some
members would like to repeal the
budget ceiling law. but any such
move will meet resistance.
Extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act.
Continuation of Marshall plan aid
to Western. Europe.
Once the job of organizing con-
gressional committees is complete,
one of the major fights of the year
over repeal or revision of the Taft
Hartley law, will get under way.

take place between next August and
October.
The Washington. home rule plan
would be subject to approval in a
citizens referendum and copies of
the referendum would have to be
given to registered voters before
next November /. The referendum
vote would be staged next November
IS.
If approved, there would be a
primary election for members of
the proposed elective City Council
and elective Board of Education the
following February 7 with final
election date set as March 7, 1850
The new Auchincloss bill, as did
the earlier edition of the measure,
provides for the election of a nom
voting District delegate in the
House.
Members of the elective bodies
would take office not later than
April /, 1850.
New Bill Is Shorter.
The whole plan revolves around
the substitution of a city manager
elected council form of govern
ment for the traditional appoint
ment of three commissioners re-
sponsible only to the White House.
The new Auchincloss bill runs to
only 1877 pages instead of 1870 as in
the last edition offered in the 80th
Congress. 1t makes a difference OF
20 titles instead of Is.
Spokesman for the Auchincloss
subcommittee said the deleted por-
tons in the main made no major
change in policy. They said the
major changes were intended to re-
duce expressed opposition to the bill
as it came before the House District
Committee and the House Rules
Committee.
The new Auchincloss bill provides
for the consolidation of District
government divisions and services
into II major departments. This
would involve the creation of a
council of IL members to take charge
of the city's government operations
other than school matters, which
would be directed by an elective
board Of eight members. The library
system would be placed under the
elective city government.
The council would elect its own

city government.

India, Pakistan End
Fighting in 14-konth
Strife Over Kashmir
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, Jan. l.
Hindu India and Moslem Pakistan
tonight called an immediate cease
fire in their IA months shooting
feud in the neighboring princely
state of Kashmir.
The sister domihions, whose ex-
tstence as free and sovereign ma
tons is not much longer than the
Kashmir conflict, announced truce
agreement calling for an end of
fighting one minute before midnight
1:29 pm, EST as a New Years
harbinger of peace.
They said they agreed that the
major issue-Whether Kashmir shall
belong to India or Pakistan-Would
be settled by United Nations-su-
pervised plebiscite.
State Split Into Two Zones.
Recent dispatches from Pakistan
said both countries had agreed to
withdraw their armed forces from
the field there, and to divide the
state into two zones, each having
its own interim government.
Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, who
Is close to the predominantly Hindu
Indian government, would head the
interim government In the Indian
occupied sector. these dispatches
said. Leaders of the So-called Azad
free) Kashmir government, who
have worked closely with Pakistan,
would administer the Pakistan-oc-
cupied zone.
A U. N. administrator would be
designated over both zones, accord
ing to this information, to establish
machinery for a fair test of the
peoples will in plebiscite.
Kashmir is predominately Mos
lem in population, perhaps as high
as 80 per cent at one time.
These points were not mentioned
in the terse official announcements
by the two governments
Both dominions, after a recent
conference in New Delhi, announced
they had settled many other eco
nomic and political differences
amicably and would meet again in
Karachi, the Pakistan capital, in
early January to settle more dis
putes.
Invaded in October, 1947.
The fighting in Kashmir more
properly known as Jammu and
Kashmir), burst into the open Oc-
tober n, 1947, when India started
an airlift of troops into the princely
state, which had been invaded by
half-savage Mohammedan tribes
men. India charged that they came
from Parkistan with the help of the
Pakistan government, and Pakistan
denied it.
Pakistan finally admitted last
summer that its troops had been
operating in Kashmir since June.
There was no question that tribes
men had invaded the state from
somewhere, killing indiscriminately,
including some white residents and
tourists.

Committee, apparently took diff
ferent view, however. He told re-
porters as he left the meeting
that he intends to vote against the
change in rules in the House to-
morrow. He would not predict what
the House viii do.
The Democratic caucus also ap-
pointed six new members to the
IMPORTANT Ways and Means Com
mittee. These and the nine hold
over Democrats on Ways and Means
group will make the Democratic
assignments to all other commit
tees. Administration spokesman
said the complexion of the Democra-
tic roster On Ways and Means in
sures the administration working
control in lining up all the other
committees.
Contest for Four Places.
Representative O'Brien of Him
OILS and King of California were put
back on Ways and Means by &C
clamation, because they had served
there before the Republicans took
control.
A contest developed for the other
four vacancies, with seven names
put forward. The four winners, and
their votes. were:
Representatives Boggs of Louisi-
ana, 2O1: Combs of Texas, 1872; Car
roll of Colorado, 1T. and Young OF
Ohio, 143. The three who we're
eliminated in the race for Ways and
Means posts were: Representatives
Stanley of Virginia, Hedrick of West
Virginia and Fallon of Maryland.
1t was reported that Chairman
Doughton of the Ways and Means
Committee gave his backing to Mr..
Stanley, but he finished fifth in the
race for four places.
Mr.. Walter was named chairman
of the Democratic Caucus for the
next two years, and Representative
Mary T. Norton of New Jersey again
was elected caucus secretary.
Patronage Posts Filled.
The Democrats nominated these
candidates for the major patronage
posts and their election tomorrow
is assured: Ralph Roberts, Rock
port, Ind, chief clerk; Joseph CAL
lahan, Bellevue, KY, sergeant-at-
arms; William M. Miller, Pasca-
goula, Miss, doorkeeper, and Finis
Scott, Memphis, Tenn, postmaster.
The Rev. James Shera Montgomery
of this city again was chosen as
chaplain. He has served under
Democrats and Republicans alike
for many years.
The first move against the Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
tomorrow will be a motion to abol-
ish it and transfer its functions to
the Judiciary Committee. Repre-
sentative Davenport, Democrat, Of
Pennsylvania, said last night he
will offer such a resolution. Most
observers on Capitol Hill believe this
effort will fail.
Mr.. Walter told reporters he ex-
poets someone will offer o separate

Chambers published it in the mag
azine Two Worlds around 1890.
Are you willing to read this
poem to his honor and the jury?'
Mr.. Cross asked Mr.. Chambers.
Prosecution Objects.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas F. Murphy objected.
and Mr.. Gross said he would read
it himself. He did, while the
women in the jury box looked
fxedly at the opposite wall of
the courtroom.
The defense lawyer also delved
into Mr.. Chambers relationship
with his brother Richard. who
committed suicide in 1926. The
prosecution objected to this line
of questioning, but Federal Judge
Henry w. Goddard overruled the
objection when Mr.. Cross ex-
planned he was trying to estab-
lish a possible psyctatric motiva-
ton in the case.
What was your relationship
with your brother?" the attorney
asked.
Wouldn't Enter Pact.
Mr.. Chambers said he was not
close to Richard until the latter
began to contemplate suicide,
when he began to watch him in
an attempt to prevent the-act. He
said Richard asked him to enter
into q suicide pact but that he
refused.
What effect did your brothers
death have on you?" Mr.. Cross
asked.
"It had an almost paralyzing
effect" Mr.. Chambers said. II
could move my limbs. but I had
no desire to do anything for some
time.
MY brothers suicide set the
seal on my being a Communist. I
was one before, but after Dick
died, I became a fanatical Com
munist."
Mr.. Cross also read the jury a
poem entitled October 81, 1926"
which Mr.. Chambers said was
written on the occasion Of his
brothers death. It ended with the
lines:
"You know it is the cessation
Of the motion in me I am waiting.
- My perfection for death
am waiting"
Lets Question Pass.
Mr.. Cross asked II Mr.. Cham
bers was an atheist when he wrote
this poem. and the witness wearily
answered:
Its not worth qualifying-let
it pass"
Earlier. Judge Goddard agreed
to study notes made by Assistant
Secretary of State Adolph Berle
on a 1889 conversation with Mr..
Chambers about Communists In
the State Department. If these
notes show Mr.. Chambers made
statements inconsistent with those
he now is making about Mr.. Hiss,
the defense will be entitled to
question him on this point.
Judge Goddard already has
ruled that the defense may see
similar notes made by Raymond
Murphy, State Department securi-
ty officer, on a 1914 conversation
with Mr.. Chambers. He is study
ing FBI reports on two talks with
Mr.. Chambers. in 1914 and 1916,
to see If these should be similarly
made available to Mr.. Hiss law

Tells of Peterborough Trip.
Mr.. Cross questioned Mr..
Chambers closely about his story
that in August, 1887, he drove
with the Kisses to Peterborough,
N. H., to talk with the late Harry
Dexter White, then Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Chambers was unable to prove
this incident in the first trial,
since the guest book at the Peter
borough guest home Bleak House,
where he says they stayed on
August 10. does not show their
names.
MIR. Chambers said today that
the party spent the night of Au-
gust 8 in tourist camp In Thom-
aston, Conn, where he thinks they
did register. He said he had made

differences between the conspira-
torial relationship which admit
tedly existed between Mr.. Wad-
leigh and Mr.. Chambers. and the
conspiratorial relationship which
Mr.. Chambers says he had with
Mr.. Hiss.
Mr.. Chambers testified he met
Mr.. Wadleigh about once a month
ION street corners at night" to re-
ceived a briefcase full of stolen
papers from him. Mr.. Wadleigh
was never in his home, he said
and he was never in Mr.. Wad-
leigh's. He never met Mrs. Wad-
leigh, and Mr.. Wadleigh never met
Mrs. Chambers. He never went
on trip with Mr.. Wadleigh.
In Mr.. Hiss case, on the other
hand, Mr.. Chambers has testi-
fed to an entirely different sort
of relationship, with the two fam
lilies in the closest sort of social
contact.
