By Harold B. Rooers

troll to conform to whatever is
ordered for the rest of the coun-
try has been approved by the
Senate District Committee.
The committee yesterday sent
to the Senate floor bill to au-
thorlze present curbs continued
for one year. to June 30, 1858.
But on recommendation of Sen
ator Johnston. Democrat, of
South Carolinta, the unit agreed
the date should be adjusted to
the same time Congress fixes for
the rest of the Nation.
The rent bill was one of nine
measures approved by the District
Committee in a swift-movipg seS-
sion. All were sent to the Senate
calendar for action.
Hospital Center Extended.
A House-passed bill to extend
for five more years authority to
build the Washington Hospital
Center here was approved, despite
attempts of one committee men,
ber to amend it.
Present law would terminate
authority to build the big hospital
on the Soldiers Home Grounds at
the end of this month. The bill
would put the termination date at
June 80. 1857.
The center would include Emer-
gency. Garfield and Episcopal
Hospitals.
Congress also has enacted fur
ther legislation to advance Fed
eral aid to. other hospitals here
that do not participate in the
center itself.
The District Committee yester-
day rejected, by a voice vote, an
amendment to the hospital bill,
submitted by Senator Johnston.
The amendment would have for
hidden any hospital receiving
Federal aid here Ito impose any
religious dogma"
1T also would have forbidden
any person to be given free treat
ment or allowed any reduced
rates because Of church connec-
Itions.
Delegate Bill IndOrsed.
BY a vote of to 4 the COM
mittee approved a bill for nom
voting delegate in the House
from the District. 1t is identical
with a measure already tabled in
the House District Committee.

Despite bland assurances to the
contrary, District primary voters
should be careful not to jeopardize
their State voting rights by par
ticipating in the District contest
next Tuesday.
This is the opinion of spokes-
men for the Absentee Voters
Service of the District League of
Women's Voters. It is also the
opinion Of experts on the Demo-
cratic State Committee.
The situation, with regard to
persons who plan to vote in the
national election in November, is
this:
AS set up by the Democratic
State Committee. the rules of vot-
ing in the city election permit
any one to vote who has not al
ready participated in a primary
election this year.
Beyond this, spokesmen for the
Central Committee and campaign
leaders for Mutual Security Ad-
w. Averell Hartman
have been telling all and Sundry
they don't have to worry about
the possibility of losing their vote
by casting primary ballots here.
Held Dangerous"
The District contest. they say,
is no more than a straw vote. It
has no legal authority whatever.
Therefore, no State could hold
that a person had disqualified
himself by participating.
This position has been described
as extremely dangerous" by Mrs.
Clarence Fisher, chairman of the
voters service. She points out
that the only way a voter can be
sure Of retaining his State fran
chise would be to obtain an opin-
ion, in advance, from the attorney
general Of his State.
AS to the legality of the present
election, Mrs. Fisher points out
that the IL delegates elected to
the national convention have a
legal standing. Certain court
rulings have held against the idea
that primary elections are purely
party affairs, conducted according
to the whim of the Central Com
mittee. Finally, the District pri-

|tax-free pension of $5.565 per
year.
Mr.. Barrett fatty refused to tell
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee anything about his
finances at a special hearing yes
terday. The Senators have ac-
|cused him Of overspending his
stated income by $17,400 in a 33-
month period.
Legislation Ordered.
The Commissioners ordered the
Corporation Counsel to draft leg
islation which would empower
them to cancel the pension of any
retired policeman or fireman found
to have been derelict while on
duty.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson Indignantly expressed
the official view:
If could, would cut off his
pension this minute, until Maj.
Barrett satisfactorily explained
his finances.
Mr.. Barrett invoked his con-
stitutional rights in refusing to
discuss any phase of his financial
operations. He said he would not
"be witness against myself"
Attorney Charles E. Ford ex-
planned to the crime probers that
Mr.. Barrett's concern was due to
tax Investigations being conduct
ed both by the District and the
Federal Internal Revenue Bu-
reau.
Tax Returns Checked.
The District assessor has two
staff members checking the ex-
chiefs tax returns and the Reve-
nue. Bureau has followed the
crime committee work closely. It
has obtained full records from
the Senate group.
The crime committees chief ac-
countant, Chester r. Cavaliere, is
a Federal tax agent, on loan to
the committee.
The legislation sought by the
Commissioners presumably would
cover the cases of Police In
Spectors Albert I. Bullock and
Beverly c. Beach. Both stand ac-
cused by the Senate committee of
failing to explain large sums of
money. They are suspended from
duty.
Commenting upon Mr.. Barrett's
statement at yesterdays hearing,
Commissioner Robinson said:
"A man can't be a witness
against himself unless he's guilty
of something. We all have the
right to exercise our constitutional
privileges against testifying in
court. But no public official has
a right to invoke that privilege
when the taxpayer is saddled with
paying his pension. The public
has some rights. too."
Senator Welker, Republican, of
Idaho, declared the Barrett deci-
sion to remain silent was "disas-
trous" to the former chiefs reu-
tation. He added:
Barrett owed a duty to the
District, to his fellow members of
the Police Department and to the
people of the Nation to come out
and state the facts"
The ex-chief also testified that
Boyd Martin. "a Federal narcotics
official, advised him that a two
man dope squad was sufficient for
Washington. This statement was
denied categorically by Mr.. Martin
