Rudolph's in town-the red nosed
reindeer, that is. Fact is Rudolph
seems to be running close second
to Santa as the main theme of holi-
day decorations in Bluffton. And
its no case of mistaken identity
either-for his nose is really red
wonderful what a small red light
will do to enhance an overall effect.
We just happen to recall a couple
of places where Rudolph hangs out
these days-there's Harry Bogarts'
on West Kibler where lifesize figure
of Rudolph is following Santa go
ing up the steps to the front door
!. and at the Nelson Steiner's on
North Lawn is emblazoned across the
front of the house sign proclaim
ing that Rudolph Lives Here" with
a facsimile of the prancing red
nosed reindeer. Fact is, Rudolph
really does live there-he's the
Steiners' little son who celebrated
his eighth birthday Saturday, the
namesake of his maternal great
grandfather the late Rudolph Alt
haus.

Continued From First Page J

81 million of that amount should
go into the separate water de-
partment fund. That law, ap-
proved July 16. 1947, stated that
the Federal share should be $12
million for the year ending June
80, 194S, land for each fiscal year
thereafter"
President Truman's January
budget called for a total outlay
of $119,244,875 for the upkeer
and development of the City OF
Washington next year. It will be
seen, therefore, that even if Con-
gress leaves the $12 million Fed
eral payment unchanged, the
United States will be paying only
10 per cent of the total cost OF
running the National Capital.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee has not yet acted on the
detailed District budget for next
year, but its leaders decided tt
lift the Federal payment out o1
the District measure and make il
part of the omnibus national
appropriation bill so that all Fed
eral obligations could be con.
sidered at one time.
The House reconvened today
after its Easter recess, with the
one-package appropriation bill
pending.

Administration Walks
Tight Wire in Blow
AT States Fighters
By the Associated Press

The administration walked q
tight wire today in efforts to deal
the States Rights Party a death
blow in Alabama without losing
the support of civil rights advo-
Gates outside the South.
With no signs of official party
censure, Senator Sparkman, Dem
ocrat, of Alabama said in a speech
at Mobile last night that if the
voters of his State come back into
the national Democratic fold he
and others operating "as Demo-
Gratis, on the inside. can kill civil
rights legislation in this Congress" +"
Demands Reputation.
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican of New Jersey. jumped on
this opportunity to demand-aS
he had after a similar speech by
Senator Hill. Democrat of Ala
bama-that President Truman re-
pudiate Senator Sparkman's ap-
peal "if the President wants to
show he really is for civil rights" "
Neither the White House nor
Democratic Party officials volun-
teered any answer to Senator
Hendrickson nor any criticism Of
Senator Sparkman's statement
that he has always been against
civil rights legislation and will
continue to oppose it.
Hoping for Victory May 2.
1t is no secret in Washington
that the administration hopes
Senators Sparkman, Hill and
others succeed in a fight to elect
in the May 2 Alabama primary a
State committee favoring return
of the local party organization to
the National Democratic Party.
Alabama's II electoral votes
went to Gov. j. Strom Thurmond
of South Carolina, the States
Rights nominee for President, in
the 1948 election as q result of
the civil rights fight.
Senator Sparkman himself op-
posed President Truman'S renom-
ination two years ago. But he in
sisted in a Statewide radio broad
cast from Mobile that the South
ought to fight out it's battles with
in the national party.

Notes Tydings Statement.
He also noted that Chairman
Tydings. of the Senate group, had
announced yesterday that a secret
investigation will be made into all
phases Of the charges against the
State Department.
IT won't believe it until see
it." Senator Mccarthy said. But
it IS q good sign. It is the first
sign we've had that Tydings and
Mcmahon aren't completely dedi-
Gated to the proposition that the
truth about Communists and per-
verts must not come out"
Senator Mcmahon of Connec-
ticut is one of the three Demo-
cratic members Of the investigat-
ing subcommittee. He and Sena-
tor Mccarthy have clashed heat
edly at times.
In his announcement yesterday
Senator Tydings said the new
avenues of investigation" will in
clude the AmeraSia Magazine case
OF 1945. This involved the al
legged theft of secret State De-
partment documents and other
papers.
Senator Tydings refused to say
what prompted the investigators
to turn to the Amerasia case or
to comment on the secret phases
of the investigation.
For obvious reasons" he said,
"the facts will be more easily de-
veloped without their being pub
licized."
Senator Mccarthy had brought
up the Amerasia case in charg-
ing before the committee that
John S. Service. veteran State
Department career officer, had
Communist leanings. Mr.. Serv-
ice was involved with five other
persons in the Amerasia case. A
Federal Grand Jury exonerated
him and he was restored to duty
in the State Department. Two of
the six were fined on charges of
conspiring to remove Government
documents.
In a letter to Senator Tydings
yesterday. Mr.. Service declared he
has never been "a Communist, ad-
vocate Of communism, a saboteur
OF American policy, an espionage
agent, or any Of the other things
OF which I have been accused"
The State Department Official,
called back from the Orient to ap-
pear before the departments 10y
atty board and to answer the
Mccarthy charges, offered in his
letter to assist the Senate investi-
cation as soon as the review of
his record has been completed.
A group of Maryland Repub-
licans declared that Senator Tyd-
ings has acted "in an extreme
ly unjudicious manner" in hand
ling the investigation and asked
for his Withdrawal as chairman
OF the inquiry group.
The demand was made by the
Republican Activities Committee
in a letter to Vice President Bark
ley. It referred to Senator Tydings'
statement that FBI records had
cleared Mr.. baltimore of the Nc
Carthy charges and said that the
Maryland Senator had "abrogated
the power of his fellow commit
teemen."
The letter. signed by Executive
Secretary David A. HALEY, said
Senator Tydings announced the
clearance before the case against
Prof. baltimore has been pre-
sented." Two Republican members
of the investigating committee
took issue with Senator Tydings
after his announcement that the
files had cleared Mr.. baltimore.
