House 6. 0.P. 10 Seek
Emergency Fund Ban
On State Department
BY The As,oeiaied Pres.

House Republicans organized a
drive today to try to deny funds
to the State Department until the
House gets chance to vote on an
anti Dean Acheson proposal.
They will test their strength to-
morrow when the House considers
10 resolution temporarily financing
jail Federal agencies for July.
The temporary plan is necessary
because appropriation bills financ-
ing the agencies for the fiscal year
starting Sunday are bottled up in
Congress. Unless q temporary
bill Is enacted none Of the agen-
lcies. including Congress itself. will
have funds after Saturday mid
might.
Republican leaders indicated
they will back an amendment by
Representative Miller to eliminate
the State Department from the
emergency measure.
Aim to Gust Acheson.
Mr.. Miller said the purpose of
the amendment is to force the
Appropriations Committee to send
to the House the regular bill for
the State Department for the
next fiscal year. The commit
tee has held up the bill because it
Is certain to stir up a fight over
Secretary of State Acheson.
Republicans hope to add to the
regular bill a provision that would
have the effect of forcing Mr..
Acheson to resign by cutting off
his pay.
There is no reason why the
regular bill can't be sent to the
House" Mr.. Miller said. "The
hearings have been over for
months. The Democrats are hold
ing it up to protect Acheson."
The bill financing the State De-
lpartment is one of two regular
money measures that have not
come to the House. Eight others
have passed the House, and two
OF them have passed the Senate
and are in a Senate House confer
Ience with little chance for final
action by July /.
July Spending Curbed.
Yesterday the House approved
the temporary financing measure,
similar to resolutions which have
become commonplace in recent
years when a fiscal year ended
with appropriation bills log
jammed in Congress.
Generally, it would limit July
spending to rate based on aver
age monthly spending during the
last three months or, In the case
Iof bills passed by the House, to
the amount voted by the House or
the amount requested by the
President. whichever is lower.
Republicans solidly opposed the
resolution in committee.
Their senior member, Repre-
sentative Taber Of New York
wants July spending held to a
lower level. He said he will offer
amendments to cut the July rate
10 per cent below what the COM
mittee proposes for all programs
except foreign-aid projects. Those
he wants cut one-third.
Republicans also will insist that
the temporary measure contain
job-reducing amendments voted
by the House in most cases and
by the Senate on the two bills it
has passed. Democrats on the

10 More Witnesses
To Be Called in Probe
|0f Baltimore Reds
By L. Edqor Primo

With 20 more witnesses to be
called. the House Committee on
Un-American Activities today
continued its investigation of
Communist infiltration into de-
Tense industries in the Baltimore
area.
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat, Of Pennsylvania, asserted
yesterday that the committee has
information a Communist cell
was operating within the Bendix-
Fries plant, now producing
weather instruments for the
armed forces.
He made this assertion after
the committee questioned John
F. Goodell, q craftsman at the
plant and a former employe of
the United States Engineer Corps.
Mr.. Goodel refused to say
whether he was a Communist.
Arlington Grocer Quizzed.
The committee also questioned
62-year-old Louis Pearlman, a
Russian-born Arlington grocer, on
his alleged Communist activities.
Mr.. Pearlman, who, with his sons,
owns the L. & w. uper-market
on North Glebe road, refused to
affirm or deny committee infor-
nation to the effect he had been
issued Communist Party Book No.
58703 in 1946.
The witness, who lives at 1917
Irving street NV, declined to say
whether a Communist Party meet
ing was held in the basement Of
his home when he lived in Balti-
more in 1946.
Committee members indicated
they would consider seeking con-
tempt citations against two other
defiant witnesses. They were
Oscar Roberts, an industrial con-
tractor and Robert Lees, who re-
fused to say how he was employed.
Both are from Baltimore.
Mr.. Roberts drew committee ire
when he refused to give his
fathers name, on the ground it
might incriminate him, and to
say, what his name was before he
changed it to Roberts.
Lee Defies Committee.
Mr.. Lee defied committee at
tempts to learn whether he held
a Government job, other than the
military service, from 1889 to the
present day.
Neither Mr.. Roberts nor Mr.. Lee
was asked single question about
communism while on the stand.
Earlier in the day. the commit
tee wound up the Washington
phase Of its Hollywood hearings
with the testimony Of Actor j.
Edward Bromberg.
The Hungarian-born stage and
screen player refused to answer
any question concerning Reds, al
though the committee read into
the record what it alleged were
Communist Party cards made out
to the actor for 1943, 1914 and
1945.
Under questioning, Mr.. Brom-
berg said he knew Screen Star
John Garfield but refused to say
whether he knew him as a men,
ber OF the Communist Party, on
grounds Of possible self -incrimina-
ton.

Luciano's domain" extends.
The committee got an indica-
ton Of one method by which
dope is being smugled into this
country when a 57-year-old addict
testified that several years ago he
was approached to get on a ship
as longShoreman and carry of
heroin a kilogram at a time. He
testified he was offered $500 kilo
to do it. but refused because he
was "too well known"
Bartender Made Offer.
The approach, he testified, came
from a man named Prospi, de-
scribed by the addict as a bar
tender on New York's Pearl street.
The addict. who tested that he
was picked up by Washington
police 20 minutes after he arrived
here en- route to Staunton, Va,
and is now in District Jail, said
he was bookie and had cnce
worked for Gambler Frank Erick-
son. He rolled up the sleeves of
his prison jacket and showed the
committee tie scars ell over his
arms where veins had collapsed
from constant shooting of herion
into them. He said his legs looked
the same way.
Police Statements Countered.
The Washington addict who
told the committee how easy it
was to buy dope here countered
recent public statements by WASH
ington police officials that the
drug traffic is at a minimum in
Washington.
He said that the dope was easier
to get here than in Chicago but
that the quantities obtainable here
were smaller than the wholesale
doses he got in Chicago.
Dope was available here from
"many sources Of supply" he de-
clared. He said the traffic was
not centralized but that peddlers
were working the streets In the
downtown area and in the neigh
borhoods.
The trumpet player said he was
arrested for pawning stolen goods
which another addict had gotten
through shoplifting. To all ques-
tions about where he obtained
dope. he replied, IT don't remem-
ber." E 'e58
Denies Fear Of Death.
Asked If he was not remember
ing because he feared death If he
informed--as other addicts had
said. he said no.
"What do you fear?' he was
asked.
That's a good point" he re-
piled.
Other addicts on the stand to-
day included a 20-year-old col
ored girl from Baltimore, who de-
scribed large heroin party and a
41-year-old colored musician and
song writer from Baltimore who
said he had no difficulty buying

Frances Perkins revealed that the

agreed with the views of Mr..
Ramspeck and James Mitchell,
the third commissioner, about
changing the present BENEFITS.
Miss Perkins indicated she ia
vored retaining the present leave
declaring that the pro-
posed revision would not result in
much savings to the Government.
Mr.. Ramspeck had estimated
that it would save 5000 million
q year.
Hope to Finish Hearings.
Senator PaStore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island. chairman of the
subcommittee, said his group
hoped to complete the hearings
and report q leave revision bill
late today.
The Commission did not propose
any reduction in the sick-leave
benefits but urged liberalization OF
the present system whereby en-
ployes are allowed to accumulate
no more than 80 days Of sick leave
This would not increase any
costs for the Government and
would offer better protection to
employees who have serious and
protracted illnesses. Mr.. Ram
speck said.
ALSO I believe that the privi-
lege Of accumulating sick leave
without limitation, to be used
when needed, should encourage
employees to be more careful of
its USE" the Commission chief
added.
Conditions Changed.
Regarding annual leave, Mr..
Ramspeck said the conditions
which justified giving Federal
employees rs days a year benefits
back in 1895 no longer existed.
"In 1896 the Federal service
operated on q 39-hour, 5h-day
work week." Mr.. Ramspeck ex-
planned. "Since all time taken by
Federal employees to attend such
necessary matters as automobile
inspections, signing Of legal docu-
ments and attendance at weddings
or funerals is charged against va
cation leave, rather than granted
additionally. as is the case In pri-
yate business, the Federal en-

ANY eligible veteran VINO,
acquired a building lot with tn
on it, may be exempted from
that date for CT loan purposes,
from Veterans Administration.
In such cases the veteran
must meet all of the following
three conditions:
1. The lot must have been
acquired, or a purchase con-
tract executed, prior to Oc-
tOber IL. 1850.
2. There must be evidence
that, as of the above date, he
actually intended to build the
home. Hiring of an architect
to draft plans, negotiations
with a Contractor to build,
and similar evidence is ac-
ceptabIe.
3. He must certify that i'm
position of the restrictions
would work a hardship upon
him.
Such loans, however, remain
subject to the milder credit
curbs placed in effect July 10,
1850. These require down pay
ment of at least five per cent of
construction cost, including
value of the lot. Cost to the vet
eran in acquiring the lot may be
considered part of the down pay
ment. In addition, any recogniz-
ed construction cost increases
above July 1, 1850 levels must
be paid i'm cash. This exemption
remains effective until April 18,
1851.
Korean Veterans
Under a law signed by the
President late i'm 1850, many
veterans disabled after June 27,
1850, may be entitled to reha-
bilitation training under Public
Law 16.
Most of the policies and pro-
cedures set up under Public
Law Is have been carried over
to the new training program.
In fact. the newcomers apply
for training on the same forms
used by disabled World War III
veterans.
Under the new law, a veteran
must have been disabled after
the Korean conflict began and
prior to a date yet to be fixed.
The new law requires that dis
ability be such that the Vet
Grams Administration may pay
at full wartime
rates. Such rates are paid for
or injuries resulting
from armed conflict, or doing
extra-hazardous rvice, or
while the United States is en-
gagged in war.
Under the new law, the July
rs, 1856 deadline for Public
Law Is training will not apply
to the newly-disabled veterans.
Instead, they will have nine
years from the end of the cur
rent emergency in which to
train. M .zs}
