Attlee Again Rules Out Bid
To Reds for H-Bomb Ban
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 13.-Prime Min
lister Attlee ruled out once more
today any new approach to the
Soviet Union for outlawing the
atomic and hydrogen bombs.
Il do not think new approach
would get over the difficulty, which
is the unwillingness of Russia to
cooperate" Mr.. Attlee told the
House Of Commons.
Mr.. Attlee's remark was
prompted by this question from
Laborite Norman D. Dodds on
whether he would take the ini-
tiative In calling a weapons con-
ference.
MIR. Attlee replied that "the ini-
tiative has already been taken as
long ago as 1945. We have been
pressing this matter continuously
and it is now before the United
Nations"
The suggestion of a new tor
level approach to Joseph Stain
was made by Conservative Leader
Winston Churchill during the re-
cent election campaign. Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin waved il

Republicans Estimate
Cost Of II Programs
AT Nearly $40 Billion

The first report of the House
Republican Price Tag COMMITTEES
today picked out II proposed
spending programs and estimated
their ultimate cost at nearly $40
billion.
The administrations middle
income housing bill, up for debate
in both houses this, week, bore
the brunt of the initial report.
The COP estimates the eventual
cost of this bill will be at least
So billion, and could reach SOS
billion.
Representative Taber of New
York, ranking Republican on ap-
preparations, is chairman of the
group which was named in jan
uary by Minority Leader Martin
to put a price on every measure
introduced at this session.
Scratched Surface, He Says.
In releasing the first report,
Mr.. Taber said the committee has
only scratched the surface" This
report covers only the work Of
one subcommittee, headed by
Representative Vursell, Republi-
can, Of Illinois. Mr.. Taber said
this partial report indicates the
taxpayers are being taken for "a
bureaucratic sleighride."
Many Republicans have op-
posed the middle-income housing
bill as a step toward socialism.
1t proposes to help co-operatives
finance housing for those in the
middle-income brackets.
In addition to the housing bill,
the COP group make estimates on
the following:
A bill to guarantee private capi-
tai invested aboard under Presi-
dent Truman's Point Four" pro-

thus far and the legislation faces
an uphill battle.
CHARITY DRIVES-A lot OF
Government officials and employees
are complaining about the number
of charity contribution drives now
taking place in Federal agencies
They say that seven different COL
lection drives have taken place
during the last month or so.
They acknowledge that the
drives are worthy, but they object
to them coming all at once. Some
officials are suggesting that the
Federal Personnel Council evolve
a plan whereby the various charity
drives in Government would be
spaced over a period of time,
rather than coming all at once.
v \ X X
COUNCIL - There are some
members of Congress who feel
that the Federal Personnel Coun-
Gil, which is the official advisory
unit to the Civil Service Commits
sion, should be returned to the
Independent status it once en-
joyed.
The council, which had served
as an advisory staff to the Presi-
dent on Government personnel
matters, some years ago was
transferred to the Civil Service
Commission. A number of people
feel that the Council could do
more objective and constructive
work If it were not under the jur-
isdiction of the commission, whose
policies it sometimes is called to
criticize. They believe that a more
healthy situation would result il
the council were independent.

Council to Consider
Tax on Rents
News in Brief

The Alexandria City Council to-

impose 29-cent per S100 tax on
gross rental incomes.
City Manager Guy Ancell said
he drafted the plan to raise more
revenue-an estimated $4,000
for a 1850 budget top-heavy with
expenditures.
Just how much effect the pro-
posal would have on tenants is in
dispute. Mr.. Ancell claims any
rent increases as a result of the
tax would be negligible. But
Councilmen Roy c. Bragg and
Marshall J. Beverly, differ with
this opinion. They also contend
property owners could not "en-
dure" any added taxes.
