Views Differ in Senate
On Veto ifRegistration
OF Reds Is Approved
By J. A. O'Leoy

senators disagreed COQay over
whether President Truman would
veto the McCarran internal Sc
curity bill. requiring registration
of Communists.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia, leader of group
which is drawing up substitute.
predicted certain veto awaits the
bill in it's present form.
Chairman McCarran of the
Senate Judiciary Committee called
the Kilgore statement the usual
forecast of opponents. and added.
THE bill is so obviously needed
that 1t is impossible to conceive
of any one having the temerity
to veto it."
For several days group of ad-
ministration Democrats have been
working on a proposal to allow the
Government to put Communists
in concentration camps in time
of war or national emergency, in
stead of registering them at all
times.
Registration Key Requirement.
The McCarran bill is an omni-
bus measure putting more teeth
in the immigration, deportation
and espionage laws, but most of
the controversy is centering
around the Communist registra-
tion requirement, taken from the
Mundt-Ferguson-Johnston bill.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan said the substitute
plan for internment camps when
war starts is unnecessary and de-
signed to ''becloud the issue" ~
Senator Ferguson said the Presi-
dent already has such power
as shown by the roundup and
internment of Japanese in this
country immediately after the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
Senator Kilgore retorted that
keeping a list of the mad dogs
in a town doesn't prevent them
from biting any one" He argued
that the registration of all mem
bers of Communist organizations,
and the officers of Communist
front groups, would be ineffec-
tive.
Bill Passed by House.
The House has already passed
bill embodying the registration
features, and supporters of the
McCarran measure say they have
the votes to pass it in the Senate
without substantial change.
Senator Kilgore contends the
all-inclusive McCarran bill uses "a
meat ak to strike at evils which
can be more effectively dealt with
by the skillful use of a properly
shaped scalpel." 10
Mr.. Truman recommended tight
ening of certain sections of the
espionage laws and the Foreign
Agents Registration Act, together
with changes in the statute of
limitations as it affects violations
of the espionage laws. The sub
stitute is expected to follow these
lines, with the internment camp
plan added.
More Debate Likely.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of
New York spoke against the Nc
carran bill yesterday. He con-
tended that it involves thought
policing" and warned "all of us
may become victims of the gallows
we erect for the enemies of free
dom"
The Senate probably will debate
the subject for several more days
before voting.
National Democratic Chairman
William M. Boyle, jr., issued an
appeal yesterday for bill con-
fined to the Presidents recon-
and said it is impor-
tant I'VE avoid hysterical action
which would do more harm than
good"

Foreign Affairs Control

PARIS, Sept. 6 P.-French
Foreign Minister Schuman said

While most people accepted the

there were, who objected to having
their year changed and they contin-
ued to observe April first at the be-
ginning of the year.
These objectors were made the
butt of many jokes by those who had
accepted the new calendar. Mock
gifts were sent, pretended calls were
made to homes Of the tardy cele-
brants and fake invitations were
sent for New Years eve watch
parties on March 81.
Those who refused to accept the
change in the calendar thereby be-
coming recipient of the mock gifts
and invitations may have been the
first april Fools" in history. 1t is,
say historians, as good an explana-
tion as any you are likely to hear.

COUNCIL Is ASKED
FOR LEGISLATION
Want Regulations on Septic
Tanks; Ban Sewage in

Action Recommended i'm Bluff
ton is in Addition to State
Breakdown

Municipal regulations governing
the installation and inspection of
septic tanks and prohibiting the dis
charge of sewage in surface drain
age sewers will be set up by the
Bluffton village council if it follows
new recommendations of the Allen
county district board of health.
Passage of municipal ordinances
on the two subjects was recommend
ed to all villages in the county by
the county health board, in an effort
to stem present unsanitary methods
reported in some of the towns.
County board of health action I'm
the matter was taken after a recon-
mendation had been made by the
advisory council which consists of
mayors of villages and chairman of
township boards of trustees, DR..
Gail Miller, county health commits
sioner said this week.
Ordinances Recommended
Sewage carried in storm water
sewers and unsanitary installations
of septic tanks and cesspools drew
the fire of the advisory council at a
meeting early this month, and
resulted in recommendation on the
matter by the board of health.
County efforts to better sewage
disposal facilities are in addition to
a state breakdown which has follow
ed passage last fall of new Ohio
law barring the discharge of un-
treated sewage into rivers and
streams of the state.
The new Ohio law provides that
every municipality must have sew
age disposal plant, but the state so
far has moved slowly in compelling
immediate construction of plants un-
less complaints are made, it was
announced last week by the state
health department.
AT the same time health depart
ment officials said that when legal
action becomes necessary to compel
compliance, it is expected that en-
forcement will be started with
larger cities first.
