By Unions, Secretary
Hears os He Testifies
By Froncis P. DouoIos

Secretary of Labor Tobin was
told by Senators today that bus
inessmen are apprehensive in
dealing with the Labor Depart
ment because they fear it is
dominated by labor organizations.
The Secretary testified before
the Senate Expenditures Com
mittee in support of President
Truman's reorganizatio ton plan
which, among other things, would
transfer the Bureau of Employ
ment Security from the Federal
Security Agency to the Labor
Department.
Defending his partme e n t
against criticism. Mr.. Tobin said
wages of many workers are tied
to the departments cost-of living
index. This indicates, he said,
that the departments integrity
and capacity are trusted by both
sides.
Raises Question Of Bias.
The Bureau of Employment
Security includes the United States
Employment Service and Unem-
ployment Insurance. Mr.. Tobin
himself raised the question of
bias, saying the point had been
raised whether employers would
lose confidence in the bureau if
1t is placed in the department.
In this connection, he said, the
bureau must be administered un-
der the provisions of various laws
just as the department admin
listers other functions. He also said
more employers used the employ
ment service in the years 1945 to
1948, when the USES was in the
Labor Department. than in any
other peacetime year.
Chairman Mcclellan of the
committee asserted that many
businessmen have IAN abiding

Heated Clash by Bryon
And Abernethy Keeps
Six Witnesses Waiting
By Don s. Worren

Home rule hearings were re-
sumed today but quickly strayed
off the subject when an angry
argument developed over whether
members Of the House District
Committee had "insultedr Senator
Kefauver. Democrat. Of Tennessee.
A charge that a member Of the
House District Judiciary Subcom-
mittee. which is holding the hear
ings on a series of District suf-
frage bills. had insulted the Sena-
tor following his recent testimony,
came from James William Bryan.
speaking for the Democratic
Central Committee of the District.
1t was Indignantly denied by both
Chairman Harris OF the House
subcommittee and Representative
Abernethy. Democrat. of Missis-
sippi.
Mr.. Bryan said that before the
Senator testified the "red carpet
OF welcome was rolled out for
him." but that later subcommit-
tee members had insulted him by
calling the suffrage bill he is
sponsoring "phony.' The Ke-
fauver bill. already passed by the
Senate. is one of four before the
House subcommittee.
Mr.. Abernethy said he had said
that a city council to be created
under the Kefauver bill would be
only a proxy" council.
Heated Words Exchanged.
you insulted Senator Ke-
fauver.' Mr.. Bryan insisted. You
said his plan was phony."
You're crazy as the devil Mr.
Abernethy retorted.
The Mississippian then re-
marked that Senator Kefauver
had given no indication of being
insulted and asked why Mr.. Bryan
was raising the point.
Chairman Harris sharply raped
for order and insisted that the
hearing proceed.
Later. Mr.. Harris said he had
served in the House with Senator
Kefauver for some years before his
election to the Senate. and re-
garded him las one Of the finest
gentlemen I know"
In no sense has Senator Ker-
fauver been maligned by this COM

MARGATE, England, July 25.-
Mrs. FRANKIE Mackie, cleaning her
attic, found a dirty napkin pinned
together in the drawer of an old
chest.
She undid it and out rolled
s5. 900 ($20,00O) worth of rings,
brooches and bracelets set with
rubies, emeralds and diamonds.

pared" But he said he would

gram alone will end present ten

Bulk for Pact Nations.
Mr.. Truman's special message to
Congress, as widely forecast, did
not specify how the proposed ST.
450.000,000 fund should be allo-
Gated, but instead said various re-
ouirements for military aid should
be handled in a unified program
adaptable in its administration
to the operation of our foreign
policy
Major portion of the aid fund
asked would be devoted to needs
of the Western European nations
allied with this country under the
Atlantic Pact, Mr.. Truman said.
He listed other countries to re-
ceive aid grants as Greece. Tur-
key, Iran, Korea and the Philip
pines. Canada and Latin Ameri-
can nations would be helped in
procuring defense equipment here
"at their own expense"
Three Types of Aid.
The President asked broad au-
thority to give the Atlantic Pact
countries of Western Europe as
sistance of these three types:
l. "A limited amount of dollar
aid to enable them to increase
their own production of military
items without impairing their ef-
forts for economic recovery"
2. Direct transfer of certain es-
sential items of military equip
ment."
3. Assistance Of experts in the
production and use of military
equipment and the training of per-
sonnel."
AS the Presidents message was
being read to Congress. the State
Department made public the text
of an administration bill to carry
out the arms program. 1t would
give the President great flexibility
in distributing arms to other
countries but would bar giving
away atomic bombs.
Where Funds Would Ge.
In a separate report to Con-
gress analyzing the program. the
State Department said it was
planned to allocate the $1,450,-
100000 fund as follows:
l. S938,450,000 for military
equipment, technical and training
assistance to North Atlantic Pact
countries.
2. $155, 900 900 - Assistance tt

Sweeping Powers
For President
By John A. Giles

The administration today pro-
posed sweeping presidential pow
ers in a world military as
sistance program to build a for
eign security structure against
the malignant growth of inter-
national communism.
The defensive nature of the
81 100000 program was en-
phasized in a State Department
41-page booklet sent to Congress
at the same time President Tru-
man was calling on the law
makers in a special message to
approve the proposed legislation.
1t declared:
The political aggression end
expansionist aims of the Soviet
Union, abetted by the malignant
growth of international eommu-
nism. have bred new fear and
insecurity in the world.
Warns Against Delay.
Delay in strengthening West
ern Europe can only result In
intensiflcatioH Of the fear of de-
structive aggression that besets its
peoples. Delay will mean a
weakening Of our chances to work
and live in peace.
The Soviet Union and inter-
national communism can be ex-
pected to attack the program. just
as they attacked the European
Recovery Program and the Allan
tic Pact. for they will recognize
it as positive step to sustain the
morale of free nations and to in
crease their resistance to commu-
mist propaganda. It is not a
panacea for international ills and
it alone will not put an end to the
cold war but it can become an
important additional instrument
in the foreign policy of the United
States and it can play vital
role in the cooperative action
directed at preventing another
world war.
A sl00.000,000 "reimbursable
aid fund also would be estab-
lished. In order not to tie up
the meager dollar balances OF the
purchasing countries from the
time they place their orders until
delivery is accomplished, con-
tracts between the United States
and suppliers will be made effec-
tive upon firm promise that the
recipient country will pay the
full price before delivery" the
booklet said.

this country in regional defense
arrangements to be eligible. The

was underway for such assistance

Ballet Russo Star
Is Still Danilova-
In Sold.Out Series
By Harry Macarthur

Alexandra Danilova, the great
est of the present prima ballerinas
in the minds of many. gave her
local admirers a treat last night by
appearing in two of the three
ballets danced at Constitution
Hall by the Ballet Russo de Monte
Carlo. She appeared as a last
minute substitute in the frothy
Pas de Quatre" and later danced
her scheduled role of the street
dancer in the familiar and popu-
lar Beau Danube
True, Miss Danilova took a
lesser part in the. opening work,
allowing the more colorful dane
ing and consequently the more
applause to fall to Nathalie
Krassovska and Gertrude Tyven.
This Pas de Quatre," incident
ally, is one of the bright dance
for-dancing 's-sake items in the
Ballet Russo repertoire. Accord
ing to legend it was originally de-
signed for the pleasure Of Queen
Victoria, whose authority alone
could have brought together the
four leading ballerinas of that
day. This romantic legend seems
to be only that, however. since
other reports indicate that the
queen happened to see the third
performance, rather than the pre-
miere. Anyhow, the redesign OF
Pas de Quatre" by Anton Dolin
from century old pictures and re-
ports is charming thing and it
was danced beguilingly last night
by the above named and Ruthan-
ma Boris.

General Frank Howley. who has

He then declared that Russia
will not succeed in forcing the
Allies out of Berlin. Despite Rus

stated, the Allies will remain in
western Berlin and elsewhere in
western Germany.
Switching from his remarks on
Russia. he told the German people
that some day Berlin would rise
again as one of the great capitals
of the world. How long it would
be before that came to pass, he
