Act was dismissed yesterday in

$4,000 from the Government for

authorized for the plane applied
only for the leg of the flight be-
tween Arcola in Fairfax County

evidence in the case did not sup
port the claim that the CAA was
responsible.

Phi|adeIp phians Late
For Work as Strike
Ties Up Transit Lines
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 11.-De-
toured by strike of transit
workers, Philadelphia's bus, sub
way and trolley riders scrambled
into the city today on foot, by
thumb-f1agging or passing cars
and by fighting their way aboard
sardine can packed suburban
railway trains.
The massive operations of the
Philadelphia Transportation Co.
halted at one minute past mid
night. throwing workers in the
Nations third largest city on
their own resources.
The strike of 1000 members
of the CLOS Transport Workers
Union was in support Of a demand
for a fourth round wage increase
The work stoppage was orderly
and PIC officials said the COM
pany will make no attempt to op-
crate over its 1900 miles of lines.
Snow Hampers Travellers.
Many workers were late. Some
were hampered by a 4-inch snow
fall that piled into drifts in sub
urban areas and never got to their
jobs.
Much of the load shifted to sub
urban trains of the Pennsylvania
and Reading Railroads. Police
stood guard at stations. pushing
putting passengers up the steps
and barking with monotonouS reg
ularity:
Move into the middle Of the
train. Let's keep things moving. "
Broad Street Suburban Station,
the PRR's terminal at City Hall,
looked like New Yorks Times
Square on New Years Eve. Con-
courses were lined from wall to
wall by showing, often laughing,
workers.
Some trains were too jammed
to take on all those clamoring to
get aboard. Workers waited for
the next-anc the next and the
next trains.
Auto traffic was tremendous.
Parking lots were choked long
before the morning rush hour.
Automobiles piled up bumper
to bumper on Broad street, leav-
ing lines as long as four blocks
at traffic signals.
Trucks Transport Workers.
Many plants dispatched trucks
to transport people to their jobs.
Some workers found seats on
benches in the trucks. But most
of the men and women just hung
on any way they could.

ated by announcements, every few
minutes, about developments in

Large Rental Projects
Favored by Woods in
Place Of Small Homes
By Chalmers M. Roberts

Deliberate discouragement' of
construction of single-family
houses for sale ard concentration
on big rental projects was sug-
gested today by Housing Expediter
Tighe E. Woods.
Mr.. Woods recommended the
move as temporary one by
the Government, assuming man
power and material supplies are
not great enough to produce more
than 100000 housing units a
year. The 1948 total was 926,800
units.
In testifying before the Joint
Economic Committee, Mr. Woods
suggested the "discouragement" of
single family units scould be
brought about ''by a deliberate
tightening of credit and risk in
surance requirements for homes
and by giving additional incen-
tives to builders of multiple unit
structures
Building Costs Stabilizing.
Before Mr.. Woods took the
stand, Housing Administrator Ray
mond M. Foley told the commit
tee there is some evidence that
construction costs may be stabil-
izing and that a turning point
may have been reached in hous-
ing prices. He said the housing
index has declined somewhat, re-
flecting chiefly "a small drop in
lumber prices. Lumber costs, he
normally represent
about 20 per cent of house costs.
A staff official of the Senate
Banking Committee said the
committee forthcoming investi-
cation into the spread between
wholesale and retail food prices
probably will first consider retail
prices of bread and milk. These
prices are generally unchanged
throughout the Nation despite
falling wholesale prices for farm
products.
The Senate investigation prob
ably will not open formally for
10 days. it was said, be-
cause of the staff work necessary
in advance. This already is un-
der way.
O'Dwyer Offers Data.
Mayor ODwyer of New York
has offered to turn over to the
committee all the facts and fig
ures developed by a long New
York investigation into milk
prices. The mayor has been asked
to testify at the Senate hearing,
but has not yet accepted.
Meanwhile. a large part of the
administration legislative pro-
gram for imitation control as
outlined in President Truman's
state of the Union address Janu-
airy 5. appeared to be in a pre-
carious position. Mr.. Truman
yesterday told a press conference
he feels the need is just as great
today as it was then for standby
powers to control prices and
wages.
Only two points in the Presi-
dents eight-point program are in
a fair way to being approved. Ex-
port controls extension already
has passed the Senate and is ex-
pected to reach the House floor
next week. Rent control extension
also is generally conceded an eX-
cellent chance for passage before
the present law expires March 81
But the other points all face
growing opposition among Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans. The

On Foreign Policy
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, FeD. ll.-SenatOf
Vandenberg of Michigan pledges
that the Republican Party will be
the watchdog of American foreign
policy.
In a Lincoln Day speech here
last night, the COP leader de-
clared the last election had not
altered the basic need" for a BIZ
partisan foreign policy and said
the Republicans would hold the
Democratic administration to
strict accountability"
He said it was the Republican
Party's duty as loyal opposition
to see that Americas foreign
policies are sound and firm"
Decision to Retire Deplored.
Meanwhile. political friends and
foes alike were deploring the Sem
ators decision to quit public life
after 1852.
Long a major voice in inter-
national affairs. Senator Vanden-
berg made his retirement an
nouncement coincident with his
Lincoln Day appearance here.
In an obvious reference to last
November's Democratic election
victory. Senator Vandenberg told
the home State Lincoln Day din
ner audience:
In my view. nothing has hap
pened to absolve either Democrats
or Republicans from continuing to
put their country first
He also promised continued sup
port Of the United Nations and
declared the cold war could be
ended in 20 minutes if Soviet Rus
sia were willing in deeds as we'll
as words"
25 Years in Senate.
Senator Vandenberg disclosed
his intention to retire in 1852
after completing his present term
in an interview yesterday after
noon.
BY that time, he said, he will be
SO years old and will have served
25 years in the Senate. He OBJ
served, I think that is enough"
One OF those to- express regrets
was Senator Connally, Democrat,
of Texas, Senator Vandenberg's S
postelection successor as chair
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
Il regret 'it very much" Sena-
tor Connally said.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida called Senator Vanden-
berg "a very great and fine public
servant" and said he hoped the
Michigan Senator would change
his mind"
Likewise, Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat, of Virginia. and Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia said
it would be a great and distinct
loss"
Senator Ives, Republican. of
New York said for Senator VAN
denberg to retire would be Ca
lamitous for the country
Praised as Legislator.

of Indiana said he did not always
agree with Senator Vandenberg in
foreign policy matters. but cred

Praising Senator Vandenberg's
qualities as a legislator. Senator
George added that he would par
ticularly" regret Senator Vanden-
berg's absence because of his de
velopment and promotion of nom
partisan foreign policy"
In his speech Senator Vanden-
berg dwelt in length on the COPS
responsibility.
He said the duty of the COP,
as the Nations loyal opposition, {"

Sees Little Change in Picture.
Some quarters may consider this
attitude as marking the end of BIZ
partisan cooperation in foreign
affairs. Senator .Vandenberg ad-
mitted.
That is not my view" he added
tersely.
The election. he said, has
changed the foreign policy picture
but slightly.

for the Republic if we ever desert
the fundamental concept that
partisan politics shall stop at the
waters edge he said.
Without this bipartisan CO.
operation between Republicans and
Democrats in the 80th Congress

to think where we and the world
would be today"

In this regard. the 80th Re-
publican Congress was the best in
history - presidential campaign

standing"
The Michigan Senator said he
personally believed the United
States would achieve lasting
peace.
But We can take nothing for
he added, Pending the
precious day of voluntary peace,
We shall look to our own national
security and we shall keep our
powder dry"
Critics Are Unchanged.
But his rallying cry to his COL
leagues for a bipartisan foreign
policy failed to swerve some Re-
publican critics.
Senator Capehart said in
Washington that he read into
Senator Vandenberg's address a
go-ahead signal for free speech
on foreign policy
Senator Vandenberg says it's
up to the Republicans to see on
the one hand that our foreign
policies are sound and firm and
to see on the other hand. that we
do not over-eXtend ourselves or
over promise Others p" Senator
Capehart told a reporter.
That's all I've ever wanted to
do, up until the time the Demo-
Gratis of the 81st Congress kicked
the Republicans in the teeth; it
seemed to have been a sin for a
even to question what
the makers of foreign policy had
to offer.
But I think it's different now.
think we're going to have some
free speech in the Senate about
foreign policy"
At about the same time. Senator
Malone, Republican, of Nevada,
was telling a Lincoln Dag audience
in Battle Creek. Mich. that there
is no bipartisan policy as SUCH
Senator Malone said the Ameri-
can position in Europe and Asia
now is "intolerable He said this
is the direct result of our own
bungling in most of our recent
