District May Pay Bill,
Lief Churches Conduct
Child Care Centers

A proposal that churches be
asked to conduct the Districts
child day-care centers, with the
city footing the bill, is being con-
sidered by District officials.
The board of directors of
the Washington Federation Of
Churches already has rejected a
suggestion that the churches take
over the program entirely.
The board emphasized that the
church aid should be only supple
mental to aid given under volun-
tary and Government auspices.
1t called on the Government to
share in the expenses of running
the program.
The latest proposal, according
to Budget Officer Walter L. Fowl
er, contemplates that the churches
furnish space and voluntary per-
sonnel for the program.
1t is believed the churches thus
could care for the same number
of children-about 30O-now in
the program for approximately
half the 100000 it is costing this
year.
The money would be sought un-
der the appropriation for the We'll
fare Department.
Mr.. Fowler Is head of COM
mittee that has advised the Com
missioners to take steps toward
putting the day-care centers on
a permanent basis.
They were established during
World War II by the Federal Gov
ernment, but after the war, Fed
eral support was Withdrawn. Con-
gress subsequently added the pro-
gram to the Districts welfare
functions on a year. -to-year basis.

White House Shows Good Front,
But Its Inside Is Beinq Torn Out

Room in 1902. A brick wall was
removed at the west end of the
building. and a steel truss that
looks as if it were made for a
bridge was substituted. It supports
the second-story ceiling.
This steel work is to be pre-
served. But in the remade build
ing, it is to be supported, not by
interior brick walls, but by steel
uprights rising from concrete
bases below the building.
Problem Complicated.
All this greatly complicates the
problem of tearing out the inte-
rior of the building. Before a two
foot thick brick wall that supports
a steel girder can be removed, q
temporary truss of timbers must
be substituted for it. The interior
of the White House is at present
cluttered up with huge timbers in
triangular formation supporting
steel.
The last modernization to weak
en- the brick walls was the multi
tude of electric cables that were
run into the White House to make
it a communication center of the
global war. Where the floor is
ripped up on the second floor,
some 20 big cables, two and three
inches thick. can be seen running
into the Presidents study.
It was here that British Prime
Minister Churchill, on what he
called one of the blacklist days of
the war, heard that Tobruk, the
Libyan port near the Egyptian
border, had fallen to Marshall
Rommel, the Nazi desert fox.
Most of these cables will be re-
Peak employment on the White
House job to date has been 100
men, mostly laborers and carpen-
ters, a McShain executive said. In
a few weeks, when the steel that
is to be saved has been all shored
up and the plaster ornaments have
been copied, the work of clearing
out of the building will begin in
earnest. More workers then will
be added.
The target date for completion
of the job, October S, 1851, still
holds, the engineers said. They
have not come upon anything that
will materially delay the job. In
fact, they are tempted to be op-
timistic, and suggest there is a
possibility the job will be finished
several weeks ahead of time.

Chavez Renews Fiqht
To Obtain Additional
Senate Office Building
By Harold B. Rogers

Senator Chavez, Democrat, Of
New Mexico, plans to make an
other drive for construction Of
the controversial new Senate Of
fee Building.
The project, previously author
lied by Congress to cost about
$40 million, was blocked last year.
when Senator Ellender, Democrat.
of Louisiana, made a determined
fight based on need for economy.
Senator Chavez as chairman Of
a special commission in charge
Of the proposed building, said
last night he had gathered evi-
dence that a great majority Of
the SO Senators are in need of
more space and want the struc-
ture.
Crowded Offices Cited.
Many Senators find themselves
in very pathetic situation"
Senator Chavez said. Some OF
them have seven or eight per-
sons crowded into one room.
Others have part of their Office
force working in other buildings
around the city. Some have even
resorted to placing their force on
three different shifts.
Senator Chavez said he had
learned from Chairman Hayden
of the Rules Committee, in charge
of space assignment. that the
committee is having great diff
Guilty in finding Office rooms. Two
liaison officers from Executive
Departments have been moved
out of their small quarters in the
Senate Office building to make
room for Senators, Senator Cha
vez said.
Senator Ellender recently an
nounced he plans to look into the
problem but will recommend that,
instead of building the new Office
for Senators. the long planned ex-
tension of the East Front of the
Capitol Building be authorized.
Hearings Will Be Held.
Hearings on the controversy will
be held by Senator Ellender when
the legislative part of the big ON
nibus appropriation bill comes be-
fore the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee, of which he is
chairman.
Senator Chavez, who also is a
of the Ellender subcom-
mittee handling the legislative
supply bill, said he will oppose the
Capitol extension now, although
he might favor it later. He point
ed out the site for the new Office
building, Immediately east of the
present Office building. already has
been acquired, and Is ready for
construction.

Home-RuIe Discharge Petition
Neors Completion, Group Told

Progress in Congress toward
getting the Kefauver home rule
bill to the House floor for a vote
was reported last night to the
Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions.
Federation President Herbert P.
Leeman told the group, meeting
in the District Building, that more
than tWo-thirds of the needed
signatures on the discharge petit
ton have been obtained. He pre-
dicted the rest would be obtained
soon.
Members familiar with the stu
alton said about 160 of the neces-
Sary 218 signatures have been OBJ
tained. The Senate has passed
the bill. but it has been blocked
in the House District Committee.
There is no question but that
we are going to have the balance
of the signatures" Mr.. Leeman
said. "The question is whether
there will be room for them on the
petition. For both parties are
committed to home rule here"
Ask End of Excise Taxes.
Harry N. Stull, general chair
man of the National and Local
Suffrage Committee, said there is
some misapprehension that the
Kefauver bill would turn over cer-
tain recreation facilities to the
National Park Service. He said
this would not be the case.
He also explained that, under
the bill. the Federal Government
would contribute 20 per cent of the
Districts budget.
In other action the Federation
voted, 46 to "a, to urge repeal of
all wartime excise taxes.
The Federation voted to support
Walter M. Bird, president of the
Shepherd Park Citizens Associa-
ton, as it's candidate for the
Junior Board of Commerce Good
Citizenship Award for 1949.
Benjamin Striner of the Phar-
maceutical Association pointed out
Mr.. Bird increased the active
membership of his association last
year from IS to $50. AS chairman
of the North Washington Recrea-
ton Council, Mr.. Bird increased
that groups membership from
three active organizations to 80.
He is also vice chairman of the
North Washington Council of
Citizens Associations.
Proposal Recommitted.

Press Throws Cold Spotlight
On Presidential Possibilities

ture in a Truman administration
admirably. He will get what he
can persuade Ohio to give him;
the national slate. the Cabinet,
ETC.. will not be his for the fore
seeable future. Perhaps the Ohioan
doesn't care. but it would be un-
usual for the governor of a pivotal
State to have no such ambitions.
A Republican often mentioned
as a presidential possibility, Gov.
Alfred Driscoll Of New Jersey, also
accepted an invitation to meet
the press. Gov. Driscoll is younger
and less experienced than the old
soldiers, Gov. Warren and Gov.
Duff. and he had a lot more
trouble with the usual gamut of
questions about his stand on Sena-
tor Mccarthy.
He, too, complained about the
Senator's methods, but he had
difficulty finding the right Ian
guage to show how communism
was an issue against the admins
tration. The cold question of
whether he thought Senator Nc
Carthy would help the Republi-
cans in the election this fall
brought a long pause. Gov. Dris-
coll then replied rather reluctantly
that Senator McCarthy's actions
were likely to be somewhat more
helpful than harmful.
Reflection On People.
In view Of what he had already
said, this appears a slight ref1ec-
ton on the American people, and
Gov. Driscoll seemed to realize it.
1t is. of course. the Republican
dilemma. In their dire need, they
can hardly bear to throw away
what might prove a great possess
sion: yet as individuals they are
eager to detach themselves from
Sen. Mccarthy personally. The
record of criticism of the Senator
here is on the whole impressive
Cows. Warren. Duff, Dewey and
Driscoll have spoken out.
Another national story is build
ing-the Governors reaction to
administration defense Of its for
eign policy. ECA Administrator
Paul Hoffman and Secretary of
State Acheson are the big guns to
whom the job has been entrusted.
How the governors respond will be
eagerly watched for clues to what
their folks back home, to whom
they are so much closer than
Washington is. now think.

Two members of the Senate,

special Investigations made by
commissions composed in part of

This may be the solution of the

first there should be an investi-

That would be in line with the
principal purpose and justification
for congressional investigations.
They always have been defended
on the ground that they are
needed to enable Congress to

on Government operations. So,
before Congress sets up a new

This Changing World
Johnson and Bradley Expected to Try
To Sell Formosa Defense Idea to Z. S.

of World War II, when American
and Philippine forces were caught
totally unprepared to meet the
Japanese onslaught because our
Government - exclusively Euro
pean-minded-had neglected the
Pacific.
According to available informa-
ton. Gen. Macarthur is asking
for at least two more ground divi-
sions and three air groups in
order to increase his power OF
resistance in Japan itself. This
number would be barely suf-
ficient as requirements for the
other Allied contingents-par-
ticularly Australian-which have
been withdrawn. This withdrawal
has compelled us to spread our
defenses in the islands even more
thinly.
Would Coordinate Forces.
Gen. Macarthur wants to CO.
ordinate defenses in Formosa with
those in the other Pacific areas.
Chang Kai-shek is said to have
indicated that he would be only
too happy to place himself and
his forces under overall American
command.
Gen. Macarthur is aware of the
political difficulties in such an Of
fer. Hence he does not believe that
such coordination is possible. And
since neither the idea of proclaim
ing Formosa an autonomous ter
ritory under the United Nations
nor the idea of returning it to
Japanese-that is his own-juris-
diction until a peace treaty is
signed seems practical, he is urg-
ing that we bolster the defenses
of Formosa, where 100000 men
are under arms, by providing it
with military equipment.
Unless we are willing to spend
some $50 million for this purpose
now, Gen. Macarthur has warned,
the cost of such neglect might in
the future be very much higher
in both blood and money.
There are few, if any. compe-
tent military men prepared to take
issue with these views. Mr.. john
son himself has been impressed
for some time with the realistic
viewpoint of the commander in
Japan. But he has been stymied
by opposition from the State De-
partment, whose views have re-
ceived more attention from the
President than have those of the
Pentagon.

continental plans. Then, Premier
Attlee, under fire in the House,
disavowed his party's manifesto,
insisting that his government
stood ready to cooperate toward
the economic integration of Eu-
rope-which left the public con-
siderably bewildered.
The apparent confusion is su-
perf1cial.
British foreign policy has worked
out priorities: First, the Common
wealth; then America, and only
then Europe.
Mutual DistruSt.
It has always been a question
whether Great Britain is a Eu-
ropean nation. AS an island king
dom and world empire, Britain
has been distrusted by continental
Europe and has, in turn. distrusted
it.
Britain's long alliance with
France has never developed into
a love affair between Frenchmen
and Britons.
Despite series of dreadful
wars. there are closer cultural
ties between Germans and French
men than between either and
Englishmen. Cultural relations
between the French occupation
forces and the West Germans are
highly superior to American or
British. The British think un-
deservedly-are the least popular
The Americans are perhaps the
most popular, because they are
conquerors who come bearing
gifts.
But the feeling of the "out-
sideness" of the British is re-
markable, while toward the French
the Germans have the feeling OF
inescapable common destiny.

have been born on the continent.
