Mcmillan 10 Ask
For r'Watchdoq'
On D. Crime
Head of House Group
Agrees to Davis Plan
For Immediate Action

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee has
agreed to recommend the crea-
ton of standing subcommittee
on crime to serve as a watchdog"
over Washington's law enforce
ment. Chairman Davis of last
sessions special crime subcom-
mittee disclosed today.
Representative Davis said the
events of the last few days-par-
ticularly the shooting of a no.
torious underworld character at
an after-hours club-had con-
vinced him of the need for i'm
mediate action.
He added that Representative
Mcmillan agreed on the import-
ance of speedy action and said he
would call a meeting of the full
House District Committee at
the earliest possible time" to
recommend establishment of a
standing subcommittee on crime
and law enforcement.
Committee to Be Organized.
The full committee is expected
to be organized today with Mr..
Mcmillan continuing as chair
man.
Mr.. Davis said Mr.. Mcmillan
throughout the course of the spe-
cial subcommittee investigation
manifested the finest co-opera-
ton and deep interest in all our
efforts to improve law enforce
ment." Mr.. Davis added that Mr..
Mcmillan was "very cooperative"
when they conferred yesterday on
the question of standing crime
subcommittee.
Attacks Bottle Clubs.
During it's hearings last year,
the special investigating group
explored the operations of after
hours clubs. In it's report last
week. the subcommittee de-
nounced these clubs as crime
breeders and Mr.. Davis intro
duced legislation to suppress them
as "nuisances."
Mr.. Davis said the shooting of
George P. Harding at the Hide
Away Club corroborates the sub
committees findings that after
hours clubs should be closed, and
also convinces him of the need for
q continuing appraisal Of Wash
ington crime and law enforcement.
Meanwhile, Representative
Hays, Democrat, of Ohio, who
temporarily blocked funds for
the Davis subcommittee last year,
filed statement in the Congress
sional Record today indicating he
would renew his attack. Recall
ing he temporarily delayed the
funds on the group that the sub
committees chief counsel, Hyman
I. Fischbach, was not doing a
good job, Mr.. Hays said he would
"have more to say about Mr..
Fischbach and his alleged investi-

Happy New Year. Says Little Guy Hope, Hope |Hope'

He knew what it was about. 1t
was about the future. He felt
uncertain about it. He didn t
know whether war was coming,
maybe a long one, maybe the
worst of all that ever happened
He didn't know how many years
maybe he'd have to live just like
this, wondering whether war was
coming in the spring, or next
week. and trying somehow to be
ready for it.
He'd do anything that was
asked of him. He didn't know
any one who didn't feel the same
way. The fellows at the office
did. His neighbors did. It was
the uncertainty that made him
feel little the way he felt when
he was sick and had a fever.
He tried to shake the feeling
off and went down to breakfast.
After all he was only a little guy
All by himself he couldn't solve
anything. His wife was just put

He was glad he had an electric

at himself steadily for five min

Senator Douglas told a reporter

proposed pushing mobilization to
the 6 million level by November /,

The armed forces goal proposed
by Senator Douglas, Marine
lieutenant colonel in the last war,

fixed by President Truman. It
would mean nearly full mobiliza-

everybody had the wrong idea.

put there to look pretty.

Unless these major bills are on

hurdles:

2. Go through the formality OF

agreement to both houses to-

g. Pass President Truman's war
powers bill, to enable him to re-
shuttle Government bureaus dur

to modify defense contracts when
changing costs make it necessary
The Senate has approved only
the contract authority, and con-
ferees probably will have to be
appointed to work out an agree
