Harris Is Confirmed
AS Postmaster al
BerryviIIe by Senate

The acting postmaster of Ber-
ryville, Va. Senator Byrd's home
town. had his permanent appoint
ment today-nearly two months
after his name was omitted from
list of Virginia postmasters sent
by the White House to the Senate.
| He is Henderson B. Harris,
whose name was among seven
others forwarded to the Senate
for continuation 10 days ago. The
Senate acted yesterday.
Last February %, when his
name was conspicuous by its ab-
sence from the Presidents list, Mr..
Harris said he believed he had
been caught in a squeeze as a re-
suit of antagonism between Mr..
Truman and his long time adver-
sary, the senior Senator from Vir-
ginia.
| He added he had been a Demo-
crat all his life and pointed out
he gave up his drugstore three
years ago to accept appointment
as acting postmaster.
| When notified of the Senate's
action yesterday, Mr.. Harris said
he was ''tickled to death"
He said he could give no rea~
son for the Presidents change
of heart and emphasized he had
made no move to have Mr.. Tru-
man reconsider the White House
failure to include his name in the
February % list.
Mr.. Harris originally was named
for the job by Representative
Harrison. in whose 7th district
Berryville is located. A spokes-
man for Mr.. Harrison said today
the Representative was gratified
at the Senate's confirmation.

Teachers Differ
With 0fficiiaIson
Leave Proposal
Senate Group Hears
Testimony on Bill to
LiberoIize System

District Government and school
officials and spokesman for teach
ers today told a Senate subcom-
mittee that the teacher leave act
should be liberalized, but they.
differed sharply as to how it
should be done.
Senator Pastore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, head of the Educa-
ton and Welfare Subcommittee.
suggested it would be wise for the
opposing group to sit down to-
gether and work out a ''compro-
mise" Otherwise, he suggested,
chances for the enactment of any
bill might be jeopardized.
Various teacher groups are sup
porting bill sponsorede by Sena-
tor Johnston. Democrat, of South
Carolina. This bill is opposed by
School Supt. Horbart M. Corning
the Board of Education and the
District Commissioners. The Off
lcials, however, announced they are
submitting a substitute bill whiG1
DR.. Corning said contains some
provisions considered more liberal
than the Johnston measure.
Denied Rights to Attend.
A furry was created at the out
Iset of the hearing when Senator
Johnston said he had received calls
from some teachers who c~a-
planned school officials had denied
them the right to attend the hear
ing
DR.. Corning said he had no
knowledge of such denials, and de-
clared this would be against the
practice of the school administra-
ton.
Later, Miss EStella Niswonger, a
retired teacher who is a teachers
union official. testified that Asso-
ciate Supt. of Schools Lawson j.
Cantrell had dictated a notice that
a Paul Junior High teacher, Miss
Annie Latimer. could not attend
the hearing because she had a
class today.
DR.. Corning later told reporters
he had not heard of this case, and
reiterated it was the policy to per-
nit teachers to attend hearing,
although most of such testimony
is given by spokesmen for the
school teacher organizations.
Another Session Possible.
Chairman PaStore, seeking to
clear this all up, announced he
was prepared to hold another ses-
sion if any teacher not present
today desired to be heard.
The Johnston bill proposes that
the amount of cumulative sick
leave be so days as at present, butt
would add an additional 80 days
which a teacher might take. pro-
Fided she hired al substitute.
District and school officials OBJ
jected to this. DR.. Corning Sug-
gested instead that the paid sick
leave be raised from a cumulative
go days to rs days. There was
general agreement on rewriting
"a section to permit sick leave to
be taken for pressing personal
business" as a substitute for the
pressing personal emergency"

District ops Unil
Begins Recheck
On VioIators
Court Action to Follow
If Still Out of Line on
Price-ControI Rules

Government investigators be-
gan checkbacks today on the frs
District merchants found violating
price-control rules.
More than 30 establishments
already notified they are in viola
ton, are due for second visits by
enforcement agents, an Office o1
Price Sterilization spokesman said
Court action will follow if they
are found still out of line.
All the establishments were Wis
tied recently at the start of the
local OPS Offices first major en-
forcement drive. They then were
notified formally of failure to have
necessary records available.
Price Director Vincent A
Holmes has set seven-day grace
period for such stores, following
official notification from his Office
The grace period has now expired
for those due to be visited.
Records Must Be Available.
More than half of all stores
checked so far in the drive have
been found out of compliance with
record-keeping rules, it was dis
closed.
But an OPS official said the
agency hopes many of them will
be found in compliance on the
repeat visit. No extensive re-
course to the courts is expected.
Businessmen, under the general
price freeze. are required to have
certain price and cost records
available at all times for OPS
inspection. Some have indicated
confusion over just what records
are required. OPS has been run
ming daily clinics at its offices al
80 Sixth street NV. to explain
the regulations.
Another deadline, affecting
1900 or more Washington stores
will fall April 80. That is the
day merchants selling clothing,
furniture and most department
store items must file new pricing
charts with the local OPS office
under Ceiling Price Regulation Z
Items Added to List.
Yesterday OPS added many new
items to those covered by this
regulation, including radio and
television sets, monographs and
records, musical instruments, no
tions, luggage, sporting goods
silverware, chinaware, glassware
jeWelry, watches and clocks.
These goods are to be priced on
a marginal basis, instead of under
the general freeze.
About $50 stores here already
have sumbitted the new pricing
charts and are using the new
prices, OPS said. Charts are COM
ing in at the rate of about 20" a
day, and the pace is expected to
speed up soon.
Meanwhile, a Washington chain
store official has accused national
price control officials of creating
"chaos" in the meat industry.
Paul Herman, manager of the
District Grocery Stores, charged
that meat retailers are being
forced by the regulations to pay
more for meat at wholesale thar
they can charge customers. He
said the national OPS Office hac
failed to act on complaints of meal
overcharges here.
