Poll Approves
|Of Truman, but
| Not Vice Versa

President Truman continues to
hold public opinion polls in low
esteem despite the fact that the
latest Gallup survey shows that SO
per cent of the American people
now approve his actions.
The President, who consistently
argued that the polls were wrong
when they showed him running a
bad second to Gov. Dewey in last
years presidential race, told news
conference today that he had no
more confidence in them now than
ne did before the election.
Polls mean nothing to him, MIR.
Truman continued, for he gets the
facts in every case and then pro-
ceeds to act.
Asked whether he thought the SO
per cent favorable return was an
underestate. the President said ne
couldn't answer that question be-
cause he simply had no confidence
in polls.

The willingness with which vet
eran and freshman members of
Congress are accepting-even ask
ing for-assignments to District
committees is beginning to amaze
Capitol Hill.
Traditionally, new and old men,
bers have SHE'D away from District
committees on the theory they paid
no political dividends back home.
Somewhat weakened in recent
years as Washington grew to be a
great metropolis. the tradition was
shattered again yesterday when
Representative WadsWorth, Repub-
lican, of New York, a veteran of %
years in Congress, asked for, and
was assigned to. the last Republican
place on the House District Com
mittee.
His assignment, completing the
lineup of the Is members of the
District Committee-l5 Democrats
and 10 Republicans-was made late
yesterday by Chairman Martin OF
the House Republican Committee on
Committees: 1t is expected to be
ratified quickly by the House Re-
publican Conference.
Interested In d. c.
Mr.. WadsWorth served IL years
in the Senate, up to 1926, before he
began 9 consecutive terms in the
House in 1882. He asked for his new
assignment because he is interested
in the District and wants a legis-
lative committee assignment, he ex-
planned.
He is a member of the House
Rules Committee. Under House
rules a member may hold only one
standing committee assignment, ex-
cept for exempt" committees. For
the minority party, Republicans in
this Congress. there are only two
exempt groups-the District and the
Committee on Un-American Activi-
ties.
"I wanted to be on a legislative
committee Il wanted something
more to do," said the 71-year-old
New Yorker. Il have lived here
for quite a time-I have a little
house in Georgetown-so I asked
for the District Committee assign
ment."

ton today is studying three bids
submitted for construction of the
General Accounting Office Building
the lowest of which is $21 ,572 ,000
offered by John McShain, Inc, of
Philadelphia.
The bids were exclusive OF eleva-
tors and escalators, so PBA officials
said it is not altogether certain the
McShain bid, plus the cost of in
stalling those facilities, would be
under the s22 2,850, 900 limit imposed
by Congress. Each bid was accom-
panied by alternate bids that would
make some adjustments in building
costs.
One Bid S27,707, 900.

ing, largest Federal Office building
authorized in the Washington area
since the Pentagon was built, will
occupy most of the square block
bounded by G, H, Fourth and Fifth
streets NV. 1t will house about
6, 900 employees, putting the GAO un-
der a single roof for the. first time
in many years.
Next lowest base bid was the
$22 2,368, 1897 offer submitted by COM
bination consisting of Charles H
Tompkins Co. of Washington, Peter
Kiewit Sons of Omaha, Nebr.; j. A.
Jones Construction Co. of Charlotte
N. c., and johnson, Drake Piper
Inc, of New York City. The third
bid of $27 100000 was submitted by
the George A. Fuller Co. of Wash
ington.

was low bidder for the two flights of

Mr.. Gray took the protest under

opened late last summer to train
inductees, including those from the
District.
Representative Abbitt, Democrat

ForrestaI Will Decide
Which Agency Is 10
Control Guard Here
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

Secretary of Defense Forrestal Is
expected to decide over the week
end the agency in the National Mill
tary Establishment to which he will
delegate control and supervision of
the District National Guard, a
spokesman said today.
The executive order issued by
President Truman yesterday trans
ferring his Authority over the militia
here to the Secretary OF. Defense was
received at the latter's Office today.
The Presidential edict- gives Mr..
Forrestal power to redelegate that
authority to such Official or off,
cials' as he may designate.
Mr.. Forrestal, spokesman in his
office said. plans today to discuss the
matter with his legal aides to deter
mine where this authority will
finally rest. 1t was indicated that
there is little doubt but that it will
be vested in the National Guard
Bureau.
Air Units a Complication.
The reason for the legal study il
was explained, was to determine
whether the control over the
ground troops and the air force
should be vested in the one bureau
or distributed because of the fact
that the two opponents are in sepa-
rate departments. However, it was
pointed out that the National Guarc
Bureau, headed by Maj. Gen. Ken
meth F. Cramer, now has control
over the Air National Guard as well
as the ground troops.
With issuance of the executive
order, it was indicated that ma
chinery for the transfer and ap-
pointment of a new commanding
general and adjutant general will
follow In quick order soon after Mr.
Forrestal acts.
1t is known that Gen. Cramer is
ready to act if and when he receives
the authority. He said today that
he did not want to discuss the pros
poets of changes until Secretary
F'orrestal had determined whether
his bureau would be the one to take
control.
Shakeup in Prospect.
Gen. Cramers statement that he
was prepared to act was taken as an
indication that list of changes is
already set UP. The only name
which has yet appeared as the most
likely candidate for the appoint
ment is Col. William H. Abendroth
former adjutant general of Idaho
now on active duty as resident
member of the General Staff Com
mittee on National Guard Policy.
Appointment of the new COM
manding general is expected to be
followed almost Immediately by a
general shakeup in the top COM
mand staff of the militia here. It
is believed that the new commander
will want to surround himself with
a staff of officers of his own selec-
ton so that he can start with a
clean slate.
