The collection of outstanding

undertaken by Mrs. VIM. LeBoff.
ALLEGATIONS Committee has au-
thorized another $4,000 be sent to
the UJA, holding a National Ac-

weekend, assuming that there
will be substantial collections in
the next several days. This would
make a total of $4,000 thus far
sent UJA.
UJA is calling the conference
expressly to secure additional
cash so as to permit maximum
transportation of all refugees to
Israel from those countries where
the dead line for emigration ap-
proaches. UJA. is also concerned
about transporting persons from
eastern countries while they are
allowed to leave. Transportation
is not the only financial burden.

Thieves in Car Try
To Hit Policeman

A policeman narrowly escaped
death early today when two men
in a car attempted to run him
down after he saw them break
into a parked car in the 1900 block
of @ street NV.
Pvt. j. w. Harrison, 38, colored,
of the third precinct, fired three
shots at the fleeing car after leap
ing from its path.
While walking his beat before
dawn. Pvt. Harrison noticed q
parked car with California license
plates which, he said, had been
tampered with. He hid in near
by basement stairway and waited
to see if any one would return to
finish breaking in.
Shortly afterWard two colored

Jumped out and reached into the
parked car through a, tampered
window and pulled out two pieces
of luggage.
Before Pvt. Harrison could stop
the man, he was back in the sedan
again. When the policeman ran
to the street and drew his gun

swiftly, headed directly for him

after jumping to the sidewalk.
Police said Pvt. Harrison had

/ Since the Labor-FSA bill is the
first major money bill of the year
to reach House-Senate conference
so far, the conferees action is a
good indication that the economy
amendments adopted by the
House and Senate on the other
appropriation bills also will be re-
jected or drastically modified.
Jensen Amendment Junked.
In reporting the $2,525,678, 900
Labor-FSA bill. the conferees
eliminated the House-approved
Jensen amendment that would
have permitted the agencies to fill
only rs per cent of their job va
cancies during the coming year
until an overall 20 per cent per-
sonnel reduction was reached.
| 1t was reported by some of the
conferees that the House members
in the conference quickly agreed
to junk the Jensen amendment.
The conferees also voted to
modify greatly the Senate-ap-
proved Ferguson amendment
Sponsored by Senator Ferguson,
Republican, of Michigan, the rider
would have imposed a 10 per cent
cut under personnel budget esti-
mates submitted by the agencies
Blanket Cut Ruled Out.
The conferees decided against
making such blanket cuts and in
stead made personnel fund reduc-
tions in some individual Offices
In only several cases, however, was
the entire 10 per cent Ferguson
personnel cut formula applied.
| In most instances, the conferees
made reductions of considerably
less than 10 per cent in personnel
items.
! Although the final report of the
conferees' bill won't be available
until today, key conferees say the
measure won't impose more than
a 5 per cent personnel cut under
original agency estimates.
All this means that both the

Economy Bloc Faces Fight.
Meanwhile, the economy bloc
faced an uphill fight in its efforts
to trim the $500 million Interior
Department money bill on the
Senate floor today.
The economy group managed to
effect a net reduction of about
s1,280,000 yesterday after some
setbacks. The Senate first voted
to add $250,000 for the South
western Power administration,
and $144,750 for the Navajo In
dian School in Utah. Later Sen
ator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan. won a majority for an
amendment cutting $1,683,000
from the Indian Bureaus con-
struction fund.
The fight will be resumed today,
with amendments both to increase
and to cut reclamation funds.
The Ferguson formula for a 10
per cent personnel cut below
budget estimates was applied to
only few bureaus-the National
Labor Relations Board, the Bu-
reau of Employe Security, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
Consumer Price Index, the Ma
tional Mediation Board, the Fed
eral Mediation and Cancellation
Service, and one or two others.
The Public Health Service and
the Columbia Institute for the
Deaf escaped any personnel cuts
at the hands Of the conferees.

LIMOUSINES AND CHAUF-
FEURS-The conferees approved
a considerable reduction in the
number Of limousines for Labor

the Senate's action in reducing the
number of Government cars.
The House had voted money
for IA new cars and los replace
ments for present cars, but the
Senate reduced this to hree new
cars and So requirements. The con-
ferees voted money for six new
cars and 81 replacements.
AS for chauffeurs, the conferees
modified somewhat the Senate's
action of voting to eliminate all
chauffeur Jobs. The conferees
agreed to allow the agencies to
have so per cent of the chauffeurs
that they had on the payroll last

Veterans Administrator Gray
today answered criticism o1
Senate Investigators with strong
warning against a proposal that
he be divested OF primary con-
ltrol' over the agency's vast medi-
cal program.
| A Senate labor subcommittee
criticized Mr.. Grav after an in
vestigation of charges made last
January by DR.. Paul B. Magnu-
son that he was ousted as medical
chief by Mr.. Gray over policy
differences he said were threaten
ing the medical setup.
The subcommittee, largely sid
ing with DR.. Magnuson. high
lighted its report with a demand
that the VA medical chief be
given more direct authority.
Primary Points Met ON 8.
| In a letter to Chairman Hum
phrey. Democrat. of Minnesota,
Mr.. Gray today contended the
agency already has met primary
points of eight administrative re-
forms urged by the Senators. But
he took r+"ong opposition to three
legislative recommendations.
/ Mr.. Gray expressed most con-
Germ over the proposal that Con-
gress leave no doubt whatever
that it intends the medical chief
to be the principal medical au-
thority with primary authority to
control. manage and operate its
medical and hospital program.
If by primary authority" Mr..
Gray declared, the committee
means final responsibility to Con-
gress and the President, such au-
thority would have to be taken
away from him. In effect, he
warned, this would result in a
medical department separated
from the rest of the agency.
Division Leads to Confusion.
He asserted:
This could easily result in a
return to the division Of authority
an confusion which existed prior
to the creation Of the Veterans
Administration and which Gre
ated such great dissatisfaction
that the VA was brought into be-
ing to give integrated service to
veterans"
But, he declared. If primary
authority means the exercise of
delegated authority, 1t already
exists" Mr.. Gray released q copy
of a June 1S order which desig-
mated the present medical chief
to "act" for him in all medical
matters except those which "re-
quire the personal attention or
action of the administrator"
