Airport Defense Fund
Faces Cuts as Senate,
House Fail 10 Agree
By Don S. Wurren

Funds for starting Washington's
second major airport and f1nanc-
ing the city's civil defense program
apparently are facing cuts at the
hands of House Senate conferees.
The airport fund would be
Slashed to 81 million under pend
ing proposals, according to one Of
the conferees. The President. act
ing on the advice of Commerce
Department officials, had requested
$2,150,000 to begin work on the
$l4 million project.
A final decision, it was re-
ported. is yet 60 be made on the
amount to be appropriated for the
Washington civil defense program
ConfereeS, several members said
failed to reach an agreement or
this issue during a first session
yesterday when a lengthy, heated
argument is said to have devel-
oped.
Agreement Is Sought.
The conferees met again this
morning, trying to reach agree.
ments on 100 differences in the 81;
billion supplemental appropriation
bill as passed in different form.
by the House and Senate. Less
than so were considered yester-
day and final decisions on numer.
Gus items were deferred.
House managers are said to have
stubbornly refused so far to reach
any halfway sort of compro-
mise with the Senate on the Dis
trict civil defense fund.
The House is in it's original &C.
ton on this issue had slashed the
100000 requests of the President
and the Commissioners to $50, 900
The Senate thereafter voted tc
restore this item to the full
$3.50, 900.
In the conference contest yes
terday, according to one report
the House agents agreed to go as
high as $4,000. Senators are
said to have offered to COM
promise on $3.50, ,O00-or $4,000
less than the Senate had voted.
Spending Time at Issue.
One of the arguments of the
House members is said to have
been that the Commissioner.
could not need or spend the full
amount between now and Janu-
airy when the new Congress viii
meet and that the issue about
more money therefore could be
deferred until then.
Something of the same argu-
ment is said to have been raised
about the amount to be granted
now for the new airport project
A 81 million grant now, it was
said, would permit the site pur-
chase to be started, at least, and
the remainder of the problem
could go over to next year.
The conferees yesterday were
said to have disagreed on what
should be done for the Districts
child day-care program. Though
Congress has legislatively approved
its continuation, the House has
allowed only $4,000 so as to
bring 1t to a halt October i.
The Senate has voted $1O0, 900
to cover a full years operation.

CHINESE FACE sovIETs

The visit If Mao Tse-tung, leader Of
Communist China, to Moscow, which be-
gan on December 18th and continues,
has aroused considerable speculation as
to the conversations going on between the
Russians and their Chinese visitor.
The usual rule for such visits Is three
or four days, but, apparently, the Com
munist leader in China has not been able
to reach an agreement with the Com
munists IN Russia. Some officials in Wash
ington believe that Mao is seeking the re-
turn of Manchuria to China and a pledge
from Russia that Inner Mongolia will not
be annexed as was the case with Outer
Mongolia
If the Russians deny the sovereignty
of China in these provinces, the Commun-
list leader will face widespread discomfort
among his people. The Russians. apparen-
thy, are not yet ready to give up their am
bilious designs in China and the difference
may lead to something like quarrel be-
tween the Communist countries.
This is one of the explanations given
for the reluctance Of the United States to
intensity the clash that is underway with
the Communists in China. As every Ameri-
can knows, our consular rights in Peiping
have been violated by the Communists and,
as result, American officials have been
ordered to leave that country, The State
Department apparently believes that there
is possibility that serious quarrel may
develop between the Chinese and the Rus
SLAMS over conflicting territorial issues.
The Soviet Union, it is believed, seeks
to extend the principle of the 38th Par
allel, now the boundary of Russian in
fluence in Korea, all the way across China.
This means virtual Russian control of
Manchuria, Outer Mongolia, Inner Mon
golia and Sinkiang. In these areas, Russia
now exercises decisive political and mill
tary control and. apparently, seeks an
agreement from Mao to make the arrange
ment permanent

HOUSE RETAINS CONTROL

The effort to restorelthe power of the
Rules Committee of the House of Repre-
aentatives to block any and all legislation
failed to succeed but. unfortunately, the
real issue was mixed up with the so-called
civil rights legislation.
In the SOth Congress the Rules Com
mittee exercising its veto power, pre-
vented the House from voting upon the
selective service bill, the TaftWagner-
Ellender housing bill, and other legisla-
ton.
49,. In its first session last year the 8lst
Congress. by vote of PTS to LAP, stripped
the Rules Committee of its veto power and
decreed that, if the committee ignored a
bill already favorably reported, the mea-
sure could be called up on the floor OF the
House after 81 days.
This simply means that the members
Of the House of Representatives can con-
troll legislation without waiting for the 12-
man Rules committee to give it permission.
Il is unthinkable that a representative
legislative body would permanently tie its
hands by giving to twelve men the right
to throttle consideration of any legislation.

cENsuRE FOR GENERAL VAUGHAN

The unanimous report of the Senate
committee which conducted the inquiry
into the five per centers last summer, re-
primands Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
the Presidents military tide, for accept
ing seven home freezers as gifts.
1t seems that the General received the
freezers from a Chicago perfume house
about the time that it wanted to get a
clearance for some of it's officials to go to
Europe just after the war when passports
were hard to get. John F. Maragon, now
under indictment in connection with testi-
mony before Senate committee, was en-
ployed by the company and was a close
friend of Gen. Vaughan.
The Senate committee, headed by. Sen.
Clyde Hoey of North Carolina, points out
that "any public official who accepts a
gratuity" makes serious mistake and ''if
he gets something for nothing from per-
sons doing business with the government
it is because they hope he will reciprocate
in some way"
Mr.. Maragon, the report stated, used
the Generals White House telephone to
transact personal business and that a
combination of these and other factors
made it possible for Maragon to use the
great prestige of the White House for his
own advantage"
The committee concludes that, since
it's investigation, there has been pro-
nounced recession in the business of in
fluence peddling."

though that was hard 70 decide

show them. and each time Il was
more wonderful than all that mad
gone before. They really Thought

realized Don was driving them

delight. II was glorious when

Don just happened to have a

which miracuiously included just

Also two little bathing suits. So
it was late when they got horne

couldn't help admonishing him
against Ce1ia's wiles even though
Don was at the table. Indeed.
Don was everywhere, though
Anne had to confess he didn't
force himself on her. Adele said
sarcastically, at least you ought
to be grateful to him for taking
the twins of your hands for a
few days Or are you jealous that
they love him SO nuch?"
MONDAY morning was as diff
tf1 ficult as she had expected it
would be, but at least Don didn't
come for breakfast and compile
cate matters more. Adele was
quite disguised with her for hav-
ing flung away the opportunity

didn't want to 20 home unless
Don came too. There was d faint
satisfaction In the fact that they
didn't call him Sir Don. She
sighed and wished she had never

It instantly as she looked into the
boys shining eyes.
But she felt she had q right TO

borrowed the uniform so she
didn't know until she was settled
in the back seat Of the car and
the children were shrieking their
enthusiasm from the front. She
couldn't protest, because Adele
stood laughing at her. Even the
real chauffeur stood by grinning,
Evidently he had been well paid
She was helpless. All she could
do was tell Don to get them home
as quickly as possible and
threaten to move the children into
the back seat with her unless
they were absolutely quiet all the
way.
How could she protest when
Don told her he was lost and they
suddenly ended up at a beach on
Long Island Sound? The roads
were a tangle to her and every
