Big Storm Sweeps Eastward;
Capital Heat Wave on Skids
Drop to q Degrees
Due Here Tonight,
Tomorrow Clear

Washington's "heat wave" was
headed for the skids today. with
the Weather Bureau forecasting
a drop to freezing temperatures
tonight.
In the wake of balrny breezes,
which reached 60 degrees as early
as 5:23 am. today, the bureau
foresaw brisk winds ripping out of
the Northwest this evening.
The temperature went to 65 at
II am, but at 1890 pm. it
had slipped back a degree.
Blowing in from the Great
Lakes and Midwest regions, the
refrigerated air should tumble the
mercury to a low of about 80 de-
grees before tomorrow dawns
clear and cold, the forecaster said.
This will bring an abrupt end
to one OF the most unreasonable
Januarys in District history. Al
ready four daily heat records
have been topped, probably a rec
ord in itself.
But the January IA heat record
appeared safe. In 1882 the city
sweltered in 76-degree warmth,
one degree under the all-time

House Groups S Move
To Regain Old Powers
Menaces Fair Deal
Rules Committee Votes
To Restore Its Control
Over Truman Legislation
By J. A. O'Leory

The whole Truman Fair Deal
program was threatened today by
a surprise move of the House
Rules Committee to get back the
power it lost last year to control
the flow of major legislation.
A coalition of Republicans and
Southern Democrats on that once
powerful committee suddenly ap-
proved, 9 to 2, and sent to the
House floor resolution to repeal
a rule put through in January,
1949, by administration leaders,
which made it possible to get a
bill before the House whenever
the rules group held it up more
than 81 days.
The new battle for control of
the House will come to a head
when the Rules Committee resolu-
tion is taken up on the floor, prob
ably in two weeks. If the full
membership of Republicans and
Southern Democrats unit as ef-
fectively as they did on a small
scale in the committee, they can
win.
Would Sidetrack Other Bills.
Although the immediate effect
of restoring the Rules Committees
old power would be to delay the
fair employment practice bill
keystone of the civil rights pro-
grant could also result in side
tracking any other part of the
Fair Deal.
The FEPC bill was reported
favorably by the House Labor
Committee at the last session, but
never got past the Rules Commit
tee, through which all major
legislation is routed to fix the
terms hof floor debate.
Under the administrations 1949
discharge rule, Chairman Lesinski
of the Labor Committee can move
