said million and a half 12-gauge

Congress Is Not Likely
To Act on UNIT This
Year, Tydings Admits
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Tydings. Democrat, OF
Maryland, comedies that Congress
is not likely to act this year, II
at all, on universal military train
ing legislation. The Armed Serv-
ices Committee he heads will oper
hearings on the issue tomorrow.
Senator Tydings surprised even
some members of his committee
when he announced over the week
end the start Of hearings-which
he said would be brief-on bill
which Secretary of Defense john
son last week asked Congress to
approve.
Acknowledging that he faces an
uphill fight, Senator Tydings said
in a radio broadcast yesterday
that he plans to prod the Senate
for action on UNIT as an "insur-
ance policy for peace"
Provisions of Bill.
The bin would provide that all
physically able young men. some
time between the ages of II and
20. undergo six months Of inten-
sive military training followed by
another six months of active duty
or service in reserve units.
Any chance that the contro-
versial measure would be ap-
proved this year was 1essened
Thursday when President Truman
said he isn't going to press for
action now. He is still strongly
for UNIT, Mr.. Truman said, but
Congress has enough controversies
and he does not want to delay
emergency legislation.
Bradley to Testify.
That appeared to dispose of the
subject, but Senator Tydings an
nounced that his committee will
open hearings anyway. with Mr..
johnson and Gen. Omar N. Brad
ley, Joint Chiefs of Staff chair
man, as first witnesses.
If the Nation ever gets into q
full-scale war. Senator Tydings
said, the American people will
wish to heaven they had" UNIT.
He added:
I'm my judgment If we have it
in time we may not get into a
shooting war with Russia because
we will appear so strong that Rus
sia will not want to provoke us as
she has in Korea"

A growing tendency to legislate
lin the dark" may bring about a
demand for strengthening the
rules of the House.
Some members complained pri-
vately today that they are being
asked too often to vote on legisla-
ton which they have neither seen
nor heard read.
The practice of voting Gin the
dark" grows during the waning
days of a session when the fever
to adjourn runs high.
Newsmen are delayed in obtain
ing details Of legislation which
they have not seen because it had
not been printed, and which they
have not heard because the House
has dispensed with its reading.
Authors of hastily prepared mea-
sures aren't always too helpful be-
cause there have been times when
the men who introduced bills were
not able to explain the details.
Profits Tax an Example.
Several recent incidents Illus
trate the situation.
During consideration of the bill
to give. President Truman con-
trolls over the domestic economy,
the House actually voted to re-
store wartime excess profits tax
rates without most members
knowing what they were doing.
It happened when the amend
ment's author was cut off by ex-
piration of the 80 second allotted
to him to explain and read it
and asked unanimous consent that
further reading be dropped. He
had been able to mention broadly
the subject matter. The House
Evening star., 1950-08-21

| quickly voted and approved the
amendment. Then someone sug.
gested that it be read. The House
startled by full realization Of what
iit had just voted for, reversed the
decision and defeated the amend.
ment.
This subject is slated TO be
handled separately.
During consideration OF the
same bill. an entire new measure
was introduced as a substitute. II
had not been printed and copies
were not available. Newsmen
asked the author of the substitute
whether it contained rationing
authority. He said it did and
started thumbing through his copy
to point out the exact language.
1t wasn't there. Incidentally the
substitute was defeated.
Walsh Case Cited.
Last Monday the House adopted
a resolution containing what is
called a rule" to bring before
the House a bill canceling last
springs postal order reducing mail
service. Not until after the pro-
edure had been approved did many
members know that it designated
the resolutions author, Represen-
tative Walsh. Demorcat, Of Indi-
ana. to present the bill, and only
on the following day.
Mr.. Walsh was in the Middle
West. He was reached in time
to fly back and save his own bill.
Mr.. Walsh explained he did not
understand he would have to be

New D. {. School Children
Need Birth Certificates

Children entering Washington s
public schools for the first time
this fall must have copies of their
birth certificates. District Health
Officer Daniel L. Seckinger re-
minded parents today.
DR.. Seckinger also said that
children must have a record of a
successful vaccination against
small pox before they can enter
schools.
If parents do not have a birth
certificate in their possession, one
may be procured from the Bureau
of Vital Statistics in Room 1923 in
the Municipal Building, DR.. Seek
niger said. Children not born in
the District must obtain a birth
certificate from the health de-
partment of the State in which
they were born. DR.. Seckinger
advised obtaining the birth GER
tif1cates now to avoid last-min-
ute rush on the bureau.

New luxury Ship Designed
For Quick War Conversion
BY the Asseeiaisd Pres.


CAMDEN. N. j., Aug. 21.-The
American President Lines new
round-the-world cruise ship Pres
ident Jackson is being readied fol
whatever comes-peace or war.
She is Sc per cent complete al
the New York Shipbuilding Corp
yard and is scheduled for delivery
December 16.
The jackson and two sisterships
the President Adams and Pres
dent HayeS-were designed as
luxury cruise ships, but they were
built for quick and easy conversion
to attack transports.
Upper decks are built with extra
strength to stand the jarring ef-

mounted quickly in event of
emergency.
If the President Jackson ever is
needed for duty as a troop trans
port she will be one of the first
such vessels fully air conditioned.

Labor Party Outlines
World Mutual Aid
Plan 10 Succeed ERP
By the As.aelaisd Press

LONDON. Aug. 21.-Britain's
Labor Party has outlined new
world plan of mutual aid designed
to succeed the Marshall Plan
when it expires in 1852.
The proposal was contained in
o pamphlet by the party's power
full Executive Committee. The
pamphlet, made public over the
week end, sets forth some of the
committees ideas for new elec-
tion platform.
Britain, America and other free
Western nations would contribute
to the mutual-aid plan.
Calls for Armed Defense.
The pamphlet called for armed
defenses to resist the on-rush of
Communism, but added:
:Reliance on armed strength is
not enough. The democracies
must be positive, constructive and
progressive, not merely defensive
They should launch a program of
mutual aid for world economic
development"
Morgan Phillips, party secre-
tary. told reporters Britain would
take the lead in planning such
program. He said it would de-
velop the idea-expressed in Pres
ident Truman'S inaugural address
of helping develop backward
areas" of the world.
The pamphlet. entitled Labor
and the New Society,"" said work
should start now on the prepara-
ton" of the new program.
To Be Discussed in October.
The pamphlet will be discussed
ut the party's annual conference
in October. After the conference,
the Executive Committee will draw
up an election platform 'the mo-
ment 1t is necessary"
The pamphlet did not discuss
Frances Schuman plan for pool
ing Europe's coal and steel. A
previous party publication on Eu-
ropean unity rejected any kind of
supranational organization which
could dictate economic decisions
to member nations.
The statement reversed previous
Labor assertions that Britain
could cooperate only with So
cialist governments. It declared
that she only asked that other
governments have control over
their economic systems to fulfill
their planning obligations.
The pamphlet said state owner
ship Of iron and steel will be car
ried through. Mr.. Phillips added
that such industries as cement and
sugar also will be nationalized.

But early today, after gala

The voting in the dark" habit
is not essentially a fault Of the
House rules. The rules require
that bills and amendments be
read unless unanimous consent is
obtained to dispense with the
reading. When members vote
without. knowing what they are
voting on it is usually, because
none has objected to voting that
way. A single objection could
block q request that the text Of
bills or amendments not be read.
AS a possible solution, some
members are considering propos-
ing o rules change which would
require that no bill be considered

unless printed copies are available
to every one. and that no amend
ment be considered unless it is
