Straus and Assistant
Cleared in Loyalty
Report 10 Senators
By me As,oeio'ed Press

! A Senate subcommittee yester-
day said Attorney General Clark
and the Interior Department 10y
atty Board have given a clean bill
on loyalty" TO two Reclamation
officials. Michael W. Straus and
Richard Boke.
j The groups chairman, Senator
/ OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyom-
ing made public letter to chair
man Mcclellan OF the Senate APP
preparations Committee, disclosing
Mr.. Clarks report
/ This is the latest step in long
congressional fight involving Mr..
Straus. reclamation commissioner
and Mr.. Boke. a regional director
at Sacramento. Calf. California
Senators Downey, Democrat. and
Knowland, Republican. as well as
other Western members of Con-
gress, have opposed the two men.
/ Both have been serving without
pay since February /. The Repub-
lican- controlled 80th Congress in
serted a provision in an appropria-
ton bill last year cutting of their
pay after January 81. l949. This
provision required that persons
filling the jobs should have at
least five years experience as en-
gineer and administrator.
In passing the .453.473 de-
ficiency bill, the House recently
voted to repeal the custer pro-
vision. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee refused to go
along with the House. Thus the
measure probably will 90 to the
Senate floor continuing the custer
Senator O'Mohoney. in report
ing on Mr.. Clark's finding, told a
reporter he will not attempt to
upset the Senate committees de-
cision. He, and other Senators
who favor retaining Mr.. Straus
and Mr.. Boke say this battle
probably can be decided in the
Senate later In another money
bill -. : ..5s@ irts.a.
However. If the Senate passes
the present money measure with
out repeating the custer. House
members could force the issue
shortly. The House could do so
by refusing to accept the Senate
action. That would throw the
measure before a conference
committee for a showdown.
Senators O'Mahoney and Nc
Carran, Democrats, of Nevada
and Gordon. Republican. of Ore
gon. were named by the Senate
Committee to ask Mr.. Clark for
the right to see "FBI files in the
loyalty examination" Of the two
officials.
/ Mr.. Straits told a reporter al
the time that he interpreted the
subcommittee inquiry as ref1ec-
ton on his loyalty. He accused
the committee of going of on
a tangent
Il have never had my loyalty
challenged MIR. Straus said
There has meyer been any accuse
ton of any kind"
He said he was subjected to :
routine. loyalty check. without &C
cusation, and was cleared OF
March 30. 1948" He referred to i,
routine loyalty check prescribed
by presidential order for all Fed
eral employees.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-Two
men held up the home of Isidore
Ludwin, a jeweler, yesterday while

While the robbery was going on,

jeweler halted before the house

Further Cut in Senate
Seen for Truman's
Housing Program
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A Democratic Senator predicted
privately today that President
Trumans program for construc-
ton of 1.050.000 public housing
units in seven years faces a new
cut in Congress.
The Senate Banking Committee
already has approved a bill which
whittles the program to 10000
units to be built over a six-year
period.
When the bill comes up soon for
Senate debate there will be a drive
to trim the figure to 100000 units
for construction over six years.
The Senate Democrat who pre-
dicted that drive will succeed
asked that his name not be used
because he is sponsor of the bill
providing for 10000 units and
expects to fight for it.
Il know for sure from a sam
pling OF the opinion around here,
the Senator said. that we haven t
got a chance of getting the 810,-
00o-unit bill through as it stands.
That means the presidents figure
OF 1,050.000 units is just out"
Ellender Is Confident.
On the other hand, Senator FL
lender, Democrat. of Louisiana,
chief sponsor of the bill calling for
10000 dwellings, told a reporter
he believes the chances are better
than fair that a program of that
size will clear both the Senate and
the house.
The prospect now is that the
bill will be called UP for actor
in the Senate after it disposes ol
the European aid bill, supple.
mental appropriation measure anc
the reciprocal trade bill. Their,
has been some talk, however, o.
putting housing ahead of recipro.

ing bill might come up next week
Besides public housing. the bill

However, there are indication.
that the move to restore the 600,.
900 figure will have the support
of both Democratic and Repub'
lican Senators.
The committee bill authorizes
construction of $4,000 units Q
year under normal circumstances
but the President could step thai
up to 250,000 annually if he felt
economic conditions warranted it
He also could slow the program
down to $4,000 dwellings a year

ure died in the House in both the
18th and 80th Congresses. In both
cees the stumbling block in the
House was the controversial public
housing program.
Meanwhile, Democratic Chair
man McGrath called for Con-
gress to unite in passage of pend
ing long-range housing legislation
and thus help get rid of rent
controls"
The way to do it. he said, is to
click the housing shortage which
makes controls necessary"

That is why they are hoping

RETIREMENT Civil Service
Commission officials say their
main objection TO the lowering OF
the retirement age bill sponsored
by Chairman Johnston OF the Sen
ate Civil Service Committee Is the
cost.
But Senator Johnston appar-
emily feels that the bill will not be
very costly and the committee may
use independent actuarial figures
in an effort to prove the point.
i The Johnston bill would permit
retirement at IS with full annui-
ties, after 80 years service. SEN
ator Johnston and others support
ing the bill feel that most Gov
.ernment employees would not
choose to retire at that age. But
they say that the bill would great
ly aid those Federal employees who

The action of Maj Berry in

Stockmen IN general are not satis-
fled with the lack of governing
power they have in the use of the
lands. Leases r approved or disap-
proved on the recommendation of a
forest service official, an official
whose qualifications for range, land
and cattle or sheep management are
sometimes questioned. Yet the report
of the official is final; they have lit
tie recourse to further investigation,
to appeal, or to judgment by law.
Private land values of owners who
lease forest lands are decreased con-
siderably through the policy of the
service TO lower permit numbers on
land transfer. In other words, the
seller of land cannot guarantee his
unit ~ balanced if, on transfer, it is
