Senate Debate Fails
To Set Date for D. +.
Home Rule Action
By Don S. Worren

A lively but inconclusive debate
was staged at the tag end of yes
terday's Senate session as to when
it will act on the home rule re-
ported by the Senate District Com
mittee.
Majority Leader Mcfarland
told his colleagues the plan for an
elected form of city government
here would be considered before
the Senate closes up shop this
fall.
But he said he could not say
just when this would be, since
there were bills of national i'm
portance also awaiting action.
Far Down Sequence List.
Mr.. Mcfarland, answering
queries from home-rule advocates,
said that If bills were taken up in
the Senate now only in the order
in which they had been reported
from committees, the District
home-rule bill would be "far down
on the list" Mr.. Mcfarland noted
the District bill had just been re-
ported.
The unexpected furry brought
into the discussion Chairman
Nicely Of the Senate District Com
mittee and Senate Minority Lead
er Wherry, who said Republican
Senators were very anxious te
have the bill brought up for action
Also participating were Demo-
cratic Senator Kefauver of Ten
nessee and Republican Senator
Case of South Dakota, leading
sponsors Of the compromise plar
for an elected city government
system here.
Foe Forecasts Delay.
But the debate ended on the
note that the bill would have &c
be considered on an if-and-wher
basis. Sandwiched in between bills
of national Importance. This was
made clear when Senator John
ston. Democrat, of South Carolina
most vocal opponent of any plar
for an elected city government
here, told the Senate he thought
its consideration of the bill woulc
require a few days.
This was in answer to a sug.
lgestion by Chairman Nicely thai
lii Senator Johnston would agree
the bill would be passed in a mat
ter of hours.
Chairman Nicely agreed that the
bill did not have priority ovel
more important national measures
but he served notice that he woulo
press for action on the city suf-
frage measure until the Senate

Retail Pork Prices Rise;
Other Meats Unchanged

Retail pork prices rose here this
week, rejecting wholesale price
boosts following the granting oil
higher ceilings by the Office OF
Price Sterilization recently to re-
lieve a cost squeeze"
The pork increases ranged from
a few cents to as much as 10 cents
a pound on popular items. Other
meat prices remained unchanged
here.
The budget-harried food shop
per, however. had a sizeable list
of reductions in fresh vegetables
with the vegetables more plentiful
and the prices falling.
Egg prices increased slightly in
a seasonal climb. In reply to q
prediction by Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson that milk would
rise a penny and eggs cents a
dozen, retailers replied that egg
and milk prices usually rise this
month anyway because of normal
seasonal supply declines.
