House Bill Backs
Part Of Hoover
u. ). Job Plans
Compromise Urged
By Committee Heods
Wins CSC Approval

The Administration today en-
dorsed legislation to carry out
some of the Hoover Commissicn
proposals for decentralising hirirN
and examining functions TO the
Governments departments and
agencies.
Sponsored by Chairman Murray,
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee, the measure represents a
compromise between the original
Hoover proposals and Civil Ser
vice Commission revisions.
Commission and Budget Bureau
officials testified before the House
group today for the bill,
Harry B. Mitchell declared the
bill represents a merging OF the
best features of the recruitment
and examination recommends
tionS OF the Hoover commission
with present Civil Service pro-
cedures." Other Commission ON
cialS endorsing the bill were Com
missioners James Mitchell and
Frances Perkins. Charles 3.
Stauffacher, executive assistant
director of the Budget Bureau,
also voiced approval of the bill.
csc to Fix Standards.
The measure would allow de-
partments and agencies to set UP
their own hiring and examining
programs, subject TO the approval
OF the commission. The commits
sion would set the general stand
ards and regulations and would
have the authority to withdraw
an agencies hiring system II it
discovered any violations of basic
Civil Service law.
Also. the commission would have
the authority to allow agencies to
use one-out- five hiring sys-
tenn in selecting employees instead
OF the present one-out- of three
system. Commission officials said
this would only be in middle and
upper grade Government positions.
Category Hiring Provided.
The bill also provides for cate
cory hiring" in highly skilled and
other top Government jobs. In
stead Of using the present numeri-
cal rating system. agencies could
set up different Job registers such
as "outstandingly well qualified.
well qualified" and qualified"
AS hearings began today Chair.
man Murray Ssaid the original
Hoover proposals went entirely
too far" He said his bill would
give the Civil Service Commission
enough authority to keep firm
controls over the decentralizatio
program and6to crack down on
lany violations

Senate DC. Unit Meet!
Today on House Bill
For Rent Control
By Harold B. Rooers

The Senate District Committee
planned to meet this afternoon
to speed action on a bill to ex-
tend District rent control beyond
the Friday deadline.
The committee will have before
1t a measure passed yesterday by
the House in the form of an
amendment to the bill previously
adopted by the Senate.
So different are the two ver-
sions, it seemed likely the measure
might be sent to conference be-
tween House and Senate.
Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee said today he
will study the changes made by
the House. but that he can not
predict what his committee will
recommend. He appeared dis
appointed the House did not ap-
prove the Senate measure and
send it to the White House.
Adds Coop Feature.
Newest feature added by the
House is a proviso designed to
protect tenants paying $85 d
month or less from efforts to
turn their apartments into CO.
operatives.
In approving its version of ex-
tended rent control by a stand
ing vote of 103 to 72. the House
sent the bill back to the Senate.
Senator Nicely will be in charge
OF the measure and make his
recommendations to the Senate
late today or tomorrow.
The House named as its con-
ferees, in case they are needed:
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee, Representa-
tive Abernethy and Representative
O'Hara, Republican, of Minnesota.
In addition to the new Coop
erative proviso in the House
version, there are three 6ther
principal differences between
House and Senate versions of the
legislation.
Different Expiration Date.
The Senate bill would extend
city curbs for six months, from
June 80 to January l next year;
the House amended this to a
seven months extension.
The Senate bill would give the
District Commissioners power to
extend controls for another six
months after January /; the
House would provide any further
extension beyond January 81 must
be made by Congress.
The House added q new amend
ment to provide for decontrol Of
an entire building, if and when
its rooms were decontrolled.
Day-care Centers Up.
Meanwhile, the Senate District
Committee today also plans to
consider extension of the city's
six day-care centers, which would
close next Friday under present
law.
A Senate bill, passed weeks ago,
would continue the centers perma-
nently. But the House yesterday
passed and sent to the Senate its
own bill continuing the centers for
only one year beyond June 80, with
100000 authorized for the pur-
pose.
Two other measures may be
considered by the Senate District
Committee. They would increase
payments under District unem-
ployment compensation law and
require regular payment of wages
here at not more than two-week
intervals.
The House, during District Day
yesterday, passed and sent to the
Senate bills to:
Amend the city law on registra-
tion Of architects. permit banks to
postpone for "a hours posting of
checks. relax restrictions against
removal Of human bodies from
homes following death from natu-
raj causes, except contagious dis
eases. and change the titles Of the
District health officer and his as
sistant to director and assistant
director Of public health.

Your Farmhouse
How To
Plan
Renlodeling.
Building Department

DOES YOUR FARM home need
another bedroom, more closet space,
a utility room, another bathroom or
more hving-dining space? If so, and
you aren't in position to build a new
house, you may be able to work
wonders, as many have, by remodel
ing. The first consideration, accord
ing to the USDA bulletin, ''Your
Farmhouse-How to Plan Remodel
ing" is whether the place is worth
remodeling.
Questions to ask yourself when
considering remodeling would in
clude: What will the repairs needed
before remodeling cost? Is the build
ing in good location? Is there a
safe and plentiful water supply?
Will remodeling be a good invest
ment?
After deciding your old farm
house is sound and worth remodel
ing, the next step is to make rough
sketches of the floor plan the way
you want it. The bulletin points out
that it is much easier and cheaper
to make changes or correct mistakes
on paper than in the building and
before rather than after remodeling

starts. So the suggestion is to plan
the entire house as you think you
would like it. Then check your
plan against the following major
planning questions:
Have you planned
Enough rooms for your fanily's
needs?
Rooms neither too large nor too
small?
Good lighting and ventilation In
all rooms?
Good exposure and view for liv-
ing and work areas?
Doors and windows well-located
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-10-01

A pleasing appearance inside and
outside?
Good proportions, simple lines?
Cost
Is the cost of remode1ing less than
for building new?
And don't neglect doing a farm
stead plan to see how your remod-
eled house will fit into the overall
picture, including barns, other build
ings, drives and lanes, the well, gar
den, orchard and fields. The way
the house fits into the entire farm
stead picture may offset the opera
ton of the farm, family income,
health and joy of living.
Further details in planning are
discussed in the bulletin and include
the following sections: Traffic lanes;
kitchen planning; workroom; dining
room; living room; office space; bed
rooms; bathrooms; porch; basement;
attic; heating system electric wiring;
exterior and interior design; the
completed plans.

Light laundering of garment be-
fore it becomes badly soiled will
increase the life of the material
by removing the dirt, dust, and
prespiration before they become
deeply embedded in the fabric.
Consider the care that is re-
quired of nylon marquisette cur
tains before purchasing. Also take
into consideration the climatic
conditions and window eposures to
which these curtains will be sub
jected. According to Grace Ryan,
home management specialist for
the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice at the University of Arizona,
some good practical points in
favor of nylon change very little
under normal conditions of ex
posure at windows. They stand up
under long wear and resist soil.
|Shrinkage and color change is only
slight when washed by usual
methods. To prolong the wear,
switch the curtains in the north
and east windows frequently. This
has been shown by experience to
be a good practice. Like most other
fabrics, nylon stands up best in
moderate atmosphere not exposed
for long periods to direct. sunlight
or exceedingly dry conditions.
You can buy wall plaster in
powder form and mix it with wa
ter. This is all right for small
cracks. For the wide cracks use
wood-fibered plaster or patching
plaster.
Keep ladders in good repair and
easily accessible in case of emer-
gency.

LAKE SUCCESS, ~. Z. (NNPA)
BY vote of % to 10, with nine
absentions, the Economic and So
cial Council of the United Nations
General Assembly last Friday ap-
proved a Haitian resolution call
ing for reconsideration of it's ban
on a 1851 session of the Subcom-
mittee on the Prevention of Dis
elimination and Protection of
Minorities.
The council had decided not to
call meeting before 1852 in the
interest of economy.
While opponents argued for
economy and time to consider UN
questionnaires, Raoul Noriega of
Mexico argued that discrimination
is "a social evil susceptible to
correction" that should be fought
on a permanent basis.
Alexander S. Panyushkin of
Soviet Russia, voting with the
majority, complained that the
council "had avoided a stand on
cardinal issues" like discrimina-
tion and women's political and
equal-pay rights, in favor of "sec-
ondary' matters like coca-leaf
chewing in South America.

Charley Riley put up a fine cour-
ageous fight, Sandy Saddler, the
featherweight champion of the
world, was given the decision at
the end of their 10-round bout at
the Arena last Wednesday night.
Riley earned a draw on the
score card of Referee Harry Kes-
sler, but the two judges, Gene Far
rell and AL Graft, voted for Sad
dler by wide margins. Farrell vot-
ed So to Al for Saddler, giving
Sandy six rounds to three for Ril-
ey. Graft scored Sc to a for Sad
dler, giving the champ seven
rounds to two for Riley and call
ing one even.
In the final two rounds Saddler
came on with a burst of strength
to pull the decision out of the fire.
In the tenth he punished Riley so
severely that it appeared Charley
could not have gone another
round.
A crowd of 1888 fans paid a
gross of $17,923.25 and at net of
$13,5O2. Riley received $4,000 as
his 22h percent of the net. Sad
dler got $4,000. An attachment
against Riley for 81, 200 brought by
a salesman who had sold him an
automobile, resulted in that sum
being held in escrow. Riley is con-
testing the bill.
In addition, each boxer is to
receive $1,000 from the telecast
rights of the show which is on
national basis.
The promotion was by the Arena
in conjunction with the Interna-
tional Boxing Club of New York.
Saddler weighed 128h, and Rl-
ey 128A.

Although the State of Louis

to the United States Supreme
Court of the special three-judge
Federal court decision ordering
qualified colored students admit
ted to the Law School of Louis

son, who brought the suit, entered

The 30-year old Wilson arrived
in the first class he attended just

with several students standing in
the corridor, walked in and took
a seat.
He had trouble finding the right
chapter in the textbook, and an
other student helped him. He
seemed to be at ease, although
one of the students who talked
with him in the corridor said he
actually had been a little ner-

Of the law school said Mr.. Will
son would not be treated as a

he said.
The three-judge Federal court

The court found that a separate
law school established by the State
