House Expected 10 Aci
Today on Supply Bill
For District in 1851

The House was expected today
to act on the Districts 1851 regu-
lar supply bill, calling for an out
lay Of $112.84O,340 in the fiscal
year beginning July /.
This measure was to be taken
up as soon as the body acted on
the conference report on an ECA
bill. which has priority.
Chairman Bates of the Appro-
priations Subcommittee handling
the District bill predicted today
that the House should not take
long to approve the measure, un-
less an unforseen objection arises.
An attempt of Representative
Marcantonio. American-Laborite,
OF New York to insert a non-dis-
elimination amendment into the
city supply bill may be made, ac-
cording to preliminary indications
today. This move always has
been defeated by the House in
the past.
To Ask Hours Debate.
Mr.. Bates said he planned to
ask the House for an hour of gen.
eral debate on the bill, of which
he expects to take only about 10
or is minutes for explanations.
Representative Stockman, Repub-
lican, Of Oregon also was planning
to speak briefly.
Since the House was scheduled
to meet at II am, one hour ear
lier than usual, and an ECA con-
ference report is not subject to
amendment, House leaders hoped
to dispose Of the District bill some
time early this afternoon.
The ECA bill is a conference
report on foreign economic aid for
the coming year and calls for ap-
proximately $3.1 billion. This is
merely the authorization, and will
have to be reviewed by the Ap-
preparations Committees before
the money is made available. IT.
includes $2.85 billion for the Mar
shall Plan and miscellaneous
amounts for Korea, non-Com-
munist areas of China and Arab
refugee relief. and $35 million for
President Truman's point-four
plan.
AS reported by the House Ap-
preparations Committee, the Dis
trict bill shows slash of $6.31
million below the requests of the
Commissioners.
Judges Seek Aid.
Municipal Court judges planned
to seek aid of the Commissioners
today in their efforts to reclaim
$28,400 slashed from the courts
budget by the House Appropria-
tions Committee last week.
There is no provision in the
pending budget for secretaries for
the three newly appointed Mu-
nicipal Court judges. The House
committee also cut out the courts
request for three new clerks, al
though the courts work load has
increased so per cent in the lastI
five years, Chief Judge George F.
Barse said.
Other slashes in requests forl
funds for supplies and equipment
would seriously affect" the eff

added.
Some Of the House cuts may
be restored on the Senate side.

Labor Uses Red Technique
Against Him, Taft SAYS
By the Assoeiated Press

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sept. T.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
told audiences in three Ohio coun-
ties yesterday that labor's "top
brass" is conducting a "hate
campaign" against him, using
the Communist technique"
Senator Taft also urged elec-
tion of Republican Congress that
will demand statements of foreign
and military policies from the
Secretaries of State and Defense.
In GAINESVILLE, Senator Taft re-
ferred to the AFL and the CLOS
Political Action Committee, which
have named him as their chief
political target. Both organiza-
tions have declared support for
Senator Taft's Democratic op-
ponent, State Auditor Joseph T.
Ferguson.
Those leaders (AFL and
CIO)," Senator Taft asserted, "are
waging campaign of class hatred
to eliminate from Congress those
who are unwilling to follow the
party line as do the Commu-
nists."
At McConnelsville, the Senator
said:
If we do not elect an inde-
pendent Republican Congress this
fall, it is my prediction that we
will get practically every feature

vocated by the administration

PHILADELPHIA - There was
decided novelty and freshness at
the Academy of music one night
recently as a large audience
heard the Philadelphia premi-
ere Of Clarence Cameron Whites
Haitian opera, s'Ouanga."
The Ora Mu Opera Company,
Philadelphia's fine all-colored
organization, had the enterprise
to launch the new opera with
a colorful and effectively staged
performance.
Mr.. Whites work makes use of
a dramatic libretto by John
Frederick Matthews. It deals with
the fight for liberation and
Christianity against superstition
and voodooism by Haiti's great
patriot and first Emperor, Des-
salineS. AS a side issue there is
DeSsaline's romance with his be-
loved Defilee, and the plot then
returns to historic and heroic
material with the revolt of Des-
salines' troops and his subse-
quent murder.
"Ouanga" is excellent theater,
and this same effective theatric-
alism is found in Mr.. Whites
richly orchestrated and sophiSti-
Gated score.
The composer has made inter-,
eSting and appropriate use of
native themes and dances, par
ticularly the Meringue (Haiti's
national dancel, which resembles
the rhumba In its dangerous
rhythm.
Mr.. White has used his chorus
with rare skill and always with
trenchant effect, and the ballet
numbers, which are intersparsed
here and there, are among the
scores most authentic moments.
The ORA Mu company did well
by the new opera. The chorus
sang with power and enthusiasm

man Talmadge, Governor OF
Georgia, declined to include COL
ored Americans in his states
delegation. The only Southern
Governor to take this position.
Talmadge stated in his letter to
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing, chairman of the
conference, that "the position
of the State of Georgia is that
we do not desire to participate
in any conference unless the
citizens of Georgia are per-
mimtted to choose their own

to add that he had originally APP
pointed two colored delegates
without his knowledge that they
were colored. Subsequently. he
cancelled these appointments.
The opposition of the National
Conference Committee to the
all-white delegation from Geor-
gia is based on the uncontestable
statistical fact that the popu-
lation of Georgia Is one-third
colored. Desiring to see that all
population groups are adequate
ly represented at this decennial
meeting, the National Confer
ence Committee can either re-
fuse to seat the Georgia all
