Senate Vote Leaves
|RFC Independent, but
Subsidiary Will Move
BY the Assoeiated Press

: The Reconstruction Finance
Corp. is to remain an Independent
Government agency. but it VIII
lose one of its major subsidiaries
the Federal National Mortgage
Association.
President Truman's plan to give
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
supervision over the RFC and its
vast lending powers was killed by
the Senate on a voice vote yes
terday.
A little later, however, the
chamber approved another presi-
Dental plan shifting FNMA to
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. headed by Raymond
Foley.
In each case the Senate's ac-
ton was considered generally in
line with recommendations of the
Hoover Commission on Govern
ment Reorganization. This COM
mission, headed by former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover. favored
putting the RFC under the
Treasury Department and group
ing together all agencies in the
housing field.
Now that the proposed shift of
RFC to Commerce has been
killed, the President is expected
to act shortly, on new appoint
ments to the five-man board
which runs the corporation. Terms
of all members expired June 30.

MA Hostess Given $1,000
In Breach Of Promise Suit

An Alexandria District Court
jury yesterday awarded $1,000 to
an airline hostess who sued a 30
year-old bachelor for breach of
promise.
Miss Jettie Quinlan, a hostess
for TWAS said her suitor kept
thinking of excuses why they
shouldn't get married. She said
she accepted his proposal in the
spring of 1948. and waited without
success to be led to the altar.
John B. Anderson, sales promo
tion manager for Capital Airlines,
agreed that he had proposed to
Miss Quinlan. He insisted he
wanted to marry her but she kept
telling him she had doubts of
whether it would be a success.
He said the breakup was her
idea, and that later when she
pleaded for him to take her back,
he refused.

The efficiency rating measure
already has cleared the House
Civil Service Committee. Prompt
action is needed, if it is to go
through the legislative mill by
adjournment time.
The decentralization bill is also
in similar fix. It, too, needs
prompt action, without any serious
disagreement, if it's to become law
this year.
Another. bill ~ the one giving
agencies the right to fire en-

ment. The House is scheduled to
approve it Tuesday, when it re-
turns from its Today recess, and
favorable Senate action is also
indicated.
Practically all other Federal
employe bills have fallen by the
wayside and have no chance of
enactment this year, except for
Senate action to override Presi-
dent Truman's veto of the meas
ure to give within-grade pay
boosts to veterans in the Post
