Ferguson Leads Drive
For Senate Vote on
DISPLACED Persons Bill
BY the Associoted Press

Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, led drive today to
push displaced persons bill
through the Senate Judiciary
Committee for a decision vote on
the Senate floor.
The committee was called into
session this morning to consider
a motion by Senator Ferguson to
discharge a subcommittee from
any further consideration of the
legislation.
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania
who as Democratic whip. has the
job of rounding up party votes,
said he believes the committee will
send the bill to the Senate.
IF we get it from the commit
tee" he said, well take it up
right after we get through with
the farm bill"
Already Passed by House.
The measure. already passed by
the House, would OPEN the way
for more displaced persons to
enter this country from Europe by
liberalizing the existing DIP laws.
Chairman McCarran of the Ju-
dietary Committee has opposed
any action on the bill at this time.
He has urged Senators to wait
until further studies have been
made on screening out Commun-
lists and their fellow travellers.
Senator McCarran now is in
Europe. Senator Eastland, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, one of those
counted on to back Senator Nc
Carran, has been called home be-
cause of the death of a relative.
With these two votes missing,
Senate leaders are hopeful the
committee will report the bill to
the Senate
Il have always felt the DIP prob
lem is one of our greatest peace
problems" Senator Ferguson said.
"One of our obligations is to settle
the peace issues. think the SEN
ate will pass the bill when it
reaches the floor
Would Make Major Changes.
The measure would make major
changes in the existing DIP laws
passed last year:
1t would extend the DIP laws
from two years to three years and
raise the ceiling on DIP admissions
from 205 900 to $4,000.
1t also would shift the so-called
"cut-off" date Of eligibility from
December %, 1945, to January /,
1949. This would open the immi-
grafton doors to persons who fled
from Russia or from Communist
dominated states-as well as
those who suffered from Nazi per-
secution. Many in this group are
Catholics.
1t woul eliminate the preference
for Estonians, Latvians, and Lith-
uanians. Some Senators have said
eA'Ao oSSGAoAl VI IilC plSS6IlG law
discriminates against Jews and
Catholics.
Nominations Approved.
Mr.. Truman's nominations of
the three members of the Dis
placed Persons Commission, pend
ing for more than a year, we're
approved yesterday by the Judici-
airy Committee.
The nominations were those of
Ugo Carusi of Vermont to be

both of New York, to be members
of the commission.

ket will bring. If prices fell below

Could Bring Controversy.
Its introduction into Senate de-
bate on farm legislation could
stir up quite a ruckus-just when
the dust was settling on the fight
over how high Government price
supports for major crops should
be.
After a zigzag course the Senate
finally rejected last week, As to 26,
an amendment OF Senators Rus
sell, Democrat, of Georgia and
Young. Republican, of North Da-
kota to put price props under
wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, rice
and peanuts at 80 per cent of
parity.
Defeat of the Russell Young
amendment was a victory for
Senator Anderson and others who
favor a sliding scale of price sup
ports geared to crop supplies.
But Senator Thomas called it
"a vote for a depression. He i'm
mediately began reaching for the
Brannan plan, which the Agri-
culture Committee had pigeon
holed and which the House had
rejected, even on a trial basis.
G. o. P. Confident of Victory.
Republican farm leaders have
been daring the administration
to bring it to vote in the Senate.
They say they are confident they
can beat it and would like to get
the Senate on record before next
years congressional elections.
Under the bill now before the
Senate, price supports for basic
crops would range from rs to 80
per cent of parity-except that
the top level would be maintained
for tobacco as long as production
controls were in effect.
The House already has voted
for bill that would continue for
another year the high percentage
support levels established during
the war to spur production.
Once the Senate finishes action
on its bill, efforts will have to be
made to come to terms with the
House.

Road Building In
Western Maryland To
Reach Big Proportions

The State Roads Commission has
issued orders to proceed with more
than $3,OOO,00O worth of road build
ing in Western Maryland it was an
nounced today.
The work is divided among three
contracts, the largest being 7-mile
relocation Of Route 40 over Sideling
Hill Mountain between Hagerstown
and Cumberland. This job, which was
awarded to the NJ. J. Grove Lime
Company, of Lime Kiln, Md, carries
an authorized cost of $2,443,744 and
will probably take nearly three years
to complete.
The second biggest of the three
jobs is major improvement project
ON Route 40 between Keyser's Ridge
and the Pennsylvania State Line, a
distance of 3.5 miles. The S. T. Brote-
markle Construction Company, of
Cumberland, was awarded the con-
tract, which carries an authorization
of $642,618 and should be completed
in slightly less than year.
The third project, carrying an au-
thorzed cost of S60,773, is to take
out the dangerous curves on the Bed
ford Road, U. S. 300, at the northern
edge of Cumberland. The award for
this work was made to the Baughman

Safety Improvements
Made at Kitzmiller

To supplement more than a dozen
recent safety improvements in the
Hamill mine at Kitzmiller, a Federal
coal mine inspector recommends
further ventilating precautions and
other safeguards in report re-
leased today by the Bureau of Mines.
Operated by the McNitt Coal com
pany, this mine employed p men and
produced $50 tons of coal a day when
W. G. Eiduke reinspected it in June.
Inspector Eiduke proposed more air
for one working area, an air lock
large enough to contain an entire
trip when needed, incombustible main
stoppings, warning signs at aban-
doned workings, preshift eXamin-
atoms for hazards and records Of the
weekly examinations, as well as off
set installation, fireproof housing,
air-reversing facilities, and an auto
matte alarm device for the ventilat-
ing fan. The fan was started before
men entered the mine, and no air
was reused to ventilate active work
ings, he reported.
Endorsing the use of permissible
explosives for on-shift blasting, fire.
quent roof-testing, and adherence to
a systematic timbering method, in
spector Eiduke advocated firing all
shots or series Immediately after
charging, using only incombustible
stemming, and further safeguards
for the surface etonator-storage
magazine.
Citing improvements, Inspector
Eiduke commended giving ample
warning before blasting, several
timbering betterments, removing eX-
cessive coal-dust accumulations from
the tipple, guards for the trolley
wire at several places and other cleo
trical safeguards, and the use of per-
missiblc electric cap lamps by all but
four underground employees.
Other recommendations called for
refraining from smoking in the mine
and using any open lights, unob-
structed haulagcway clearance, cut
out switches in the trolley wire, other
electrical, fre-control and tirst-aid
safeguards, and always wearing pro
tective footwear and goggles when
necessary.
