Last night the Chicago host

But the civil rights controversy
took the spotlight on the second
day of the three-day conclave.
Before Mr.. Daniels spoke, SEN
ate Majority Leader Lucas of
Illinois told of the trouble he was
having getting the Senate even
to consider FEPC.
Senator Lucas counts on the
Senate's revised "cloture" pro-
cedure to shut off debate on his
motion to bring the bill to the
floor.
.Cioture requires the approval of
81 of the SO Senators. Senator
Lucas said he would need the
energetic support" of Republi-
can Senators to put it through.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota said every Repub-
lican Senator should vote for clo-
ture because the 1948 Republican
convention unanimously adopted
a platform plank favoring FEPC.
Mr.. Daniels was not a member
of the panel but obtained permits
sion to speak from the chairman,
Senator Green of Rhode Island.
Mr.. Daniels said:
Il hold myself to be as great
an advocate of human liberty as
any man but you can count OH
the opposition of all Southerners
like myself to a compulsory
FEPC."
Mr.. Daniels is Democratic Ma
tional committeeman for North
Carolina, editor of the Raleigh
News and Observer and one of
President Humans staunchest
hackers in the South.
Son of the late Josephus Dan
iels, Secretary of the Navy in the
World War I, he was an assistant
to President Roosevelt and stayed
on at the White House for some
time under Mr.. Truman.
He rode the Truman campaign
train in 1948 and helped write
some of the speeches. Currently
he has been writing a book about
President Truman and was re-
cent White House caller.

The nine young musicians who
competed yesterday afternoon in
Constitution Hall for the college
scholarship offered by the Hamil-
ton National Bank showed a graft
flying amount of talent unearthed
by the contest among high school
students. The two winners. Will
liam Graham. bass. of Coolidge
High School and Fan Nell Dan
iels, pianist, of Dunbar, are II
and Is years old respectively. Mr.,
Graham has an unusually fine
voice, deep and mellow in quality,
that promises a future of note
Miss Daniels plays with authority
is advanced technically and shows
marked musical feeling. Her Sc
lection was Chopins "Fantasie
Impromptu" while Mr.. Graham
was heard in the "Infelice" aria
from Verdi's "Ernani."
Given second place and awarded
with trophy were Allan Milofsky.
17-year-old tenor of Roosevelt,
and Doris Gazda. 15-year old
violinist of Wilson. Milofsky's lyric
voice is of moving quality and his
singing of Edwards Into the
Night" was appealing. An excel
lent foundation gives Miss Gazda
a firm bow arm and a feet finger
technique that took care of the
Allegro" from Mozart's Con-
certo in D Major" admirably.
Danny Steinberg, the only other
violinist on the program, is an
other gifted player whose per-
Torrance of the Allegro" from
Mozart's Concerto in G Major"
was outstanding.

How long does this go on and
what costly scheme comes next to

Blasts at Marshall Plan.
This apparently was a crack at
the Marshall Plan, which Mr.
Dirksen supported when in the
House but which he now calls

Mr. Dirksen will try to unseat
Senator Lucas. Democratic floor
leader, in November.
His statement today was issued
through the Republican National
Committee in reply to Mr.. Tru-
mans speech at GaleSburg, Ill,
last Monday.
Recalling that day was the an

said that despite the lapse of five
years and the expenditure of

score reflects credit upon those
who are now running the affairs
of the nation, and would you con-
cur with Mr.. Humans observa-

flee that everything is f1ne?" he
asked. adding:
1.-THE people are aroused. The
spirit of protest is in the air. They
are becoming aware of laundering
and mismanagement which fancy
phrases and $64 words cannot OBJ
scure. The signs multiply that
they are turning to the Republi-
can party and to the traditional
sound doctrine which in every
crisis has been the hope and sal
walton of the people.
1880 is a year of crusade, not
for the sake of power, but for the
salvation of nation"
Meanwhile, the Republicans were
lining up some of their strongest
talents to reply to Mr.. Truman s
Chicago speech. 1t is the first
one he has admitted will be po-
litical on this mon political tour
but the Republicans say he has
been doing nothing but politicking
since he started West.

In 1914 he was chaplain of the
Chicago convention at which Mr..
Truman was nominated for Vice

He declared the American peo-

Senate in Final Week
OF FEPC Debate With
Little Hope Of Passage
By J. A. O'Leory

Inc administration today began
what is expected to be the final
week of debate in the Senate over
the Fair Employment Practices
bill, with little hope of passing it..
The test will come about Friday
on an effort to invoke the new
anti-fllibuster rule, and If that
fails Democratic leaders have indi-
Gated they will concede defeat
until next year.
The pressure of other major is
sues awaiting action before Con-
gress can take summer recess
will force Truman managers to
lay aside the FEPC bill if they
fail to invoke the debate-curbing
rule.
Other Problems Ahead.
These other problems include:
J.. The hberalized social security
program, which Chairman George
of the Finance Committee will
have ready by Friday.
2. The 1924 billion omnibus
appropriation bill just passed by
the House and due for Senate &C
ton in June.
5. A fight to keep Federal rent
control from ending June 30,
against strong sentiment to let
the States and big cities handle
the question.
4. The probability that second
installment of military aid to
North Atlantic Treaty nations will
be submitted in the closing weeks
Of this session.
Russell Sees ClOture Defeat.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, leader of the opposition
to FEPC, said he does not believe
it will be possible for the admin
iStration to get the 81 votes neces-
sary to invoke the new cloture
rule. In the past it was possible
to apply cloture with two-thirds
Of those present and voting. Even
under that rule, the Senate sell
dom voted to gag itself.
The rule now requires two
thirds of the entire membership
81. This means that Majority
Leader Lucas must have 81 sup
porters on hand when the cloture
rule is voted on. 1t is immaterial
how few vote against cloture if
supporters fall even one or two
short of the 81 mark.
Meanwhile, on the House side
there were rumblings of disSatis-
faction with the single package
appropriation bill experiment, and
some observers predicted it would
not be tried again next year. In
the past both houses have split
the Federal budget into at least a
dozen departmental supply meas
ures. This year it rolled them all
into one, in the belief it would en-
courage economy.
Taber Labels Plan Lemon"
The House succeeded in cutting
the Presidents budget. but largely
by the Taber-T Thomas amend
rnentS for blanket reductions in
Government personnel.
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack expressed doubt the omnibus
plan would be repeated. and Rep
reSentative Taber of New York,
ranking Republican on the APP
preparations Committee, described
it as "a lemon"
Chairman Cannon of the APP
preparations Committee reserved
judgment. however, and he was
largely responsible for this years
experiment, after the Senate had
voted last year to adopt the single
package procedure.
How the Senate will make out
with the omnibus bill remains to
be seen, and the experience there
may determine what is done next
year.

On this scene. in one of the

Miss Swanson, who never had a

Her Norma is a woman gone mad
with vanity. an empty human

1t is a brilliant and endlessly
engrossing portrait she etches for

Won Stroheim's ferociously loyal
chauffeur who once was Norma S

and Miss Olson's wide-eyed young
ster who tried to save the writer
from Norma and himself.

the presence of many of the actual
