By House in Passing
S10-BiI|ion Measure
Omnibus Fund Bill
Is $3.7 Billion Below
Sum Truman Asked
BY the Assoeioied Press

The House passed and sent to
the Senate yesterday a $10,122,-
840,7S0 omnibus appropriations
bill. 1t was $3,731, ,205, $50 below
President Truman's requested fig
ure.
Administration foes, aided by
Democratic absenteeism, knocked
out total of $3OS 1893 900 in two
days of spirited debate.
Major cut was $243,993, 900 from
foreign aid. The House approved
funds for a $6,O31 ,947, ,750 foreign
aid program for next year. It was
a total cut of $1,917,853,250 from
President ,Truman's requested to-
tai Of $7,949,8o 900.
Sliced Further on Floor.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee had recommended approval
of $6,275, ,940,750. But Republi-
cans, aided by some Democrats,
sliced another $243,993,0O0 from
the bill on the floor.
The foreign aid program was
part of an overall bill which now
totals $10,122,8 $40, ,780-a net re-
duction of $160, ,293 900 from the
$40, 1888, ,133,780 recommended by
the Appropriations Committee.
The measure is to finance for
eign aid, armed forces, atomic
energy, and a variety of other
programs. The money is supple
mental-in addition to funds al
ready voted for many of these
agencies.
The principal foreign aid re-
ductions rammed Through yester-
day were in the funds for military
aid to Europe, the Near East ano
Africa, and technical assistance tc
the Far East. Efforts to cut ai6
to Asia, the Pacific and Latin
America were defeated.
Air Base Funds Voted.
The House voted 81 billions
cut of 1858 millions-for Amer
ican air bases at home and over
the world, upholding committee
recommendations on this.
The Democrats, with a total OF
230 members, were outnumbered
because of weekend absenteeism
A minimum of $50 answered the
days first quorum call, but only
about 100 were present when the
voting took place on the amend
ments cutting the funds.
During the first day Of debate
Friday, the House upheld a sug-

1aft's Supporters Hold
19 70 II Advantage on
Credentials Group
Contest Victories Could
Give Them II of 81
Key Committee Seats =.
VO(N UCU
Associated Press SfcH Writer

Backers of Senator Taft hold
hairline edge over followers of
Gen. Eisenhower on the contest
deciding Credentials Committee
of the Republican National Con-
vention.
The Associated Press survey of
committee members already Sc
lected-each State and territorial
delegation chooses one member
showed today that 19 support
Senator Taft, II favor Gen. EiSen-
hover and two-from Michigan
and Pennsylvania-call themselves
neutral.
Four States where there are
contests-Florida. Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and TeXas-probably will
present rival members. In all of
them Senator Taft's hackers have
chosen their man and in one the
Eisenhower camp has picked its
representative.
Six More to Be Selected.
Six other Credentials Commit
tee members still are to be chosen
by State delegations. OF these
six, three will be selected in State
groups which show a majority for
Senator Taft, one in contested
Louisiana, one in Massachusetts
will favor Gen. Eisenhower and
one in California will support Gov.
Warren.
If Senator Taft were to win all
five State contests, he would have
27 of the So committee members.
If Gen. Eisenhower won all five,
he would have only %.
No information was available
on credentials selections from
! Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands. However, Sen
ator Taft claimed this week the
first three delegations favor him.
| " Disputed Seats.
| The Credentials Committee
serves as the conventions de-
signated group to review decisions
of the Republican National Com
mittee on contests.
| The National Committee has
agreed to hear contests involving
SO delegates from Texas. four
from Georgia, six from Louisiana
four from Mississippi. 18 from
Florida, one from Missouri and
one from Kansas.
This total of 72 might repre-
sent the balance of power in a
close ballot contest between Sen
ator Taft and Gen. Eisenhower
The National Committee told
Estate committees to settle dis
Itrict contests involving two dele
Igates in Virginia, seven in Louisi-
lana, 13 in Georgia and one in
Mississippi.
i Virginia and Louisiana COM
Imittees promptly gave their dele
! gates to Senator Taft. However
!. Eisenhower hackers said they will
contest the seven in Louisiana
and it is likely that all Of Geor-
gia's II also will be in contest.
II Can't Take New Evidence.
u Under convention rules, the
:. Credentials Committee can't take
new evidence beyond that brought
out before the National Commit.
tee in its first hearings. But the
/ credentials group could reverse
iIthe National Committees deci-
sion. And the Credentials Com.
/ Imittee's rulings go directly tt
n the convention itself. $
However, the national commit
: tee indirectly has something t,
i say about the makeup of th'
credentials group. inasmuch as i
i certifies the temporary role o
llthe convention. Thus the ma
tional committee could seat (
Taft delegation from Texas and {
-jTaft backer thus would gain {
seat on the credentials group.

Indifferent to this situation ito

policemen, said the report, had
been outright corrupt.
The crime investigators said
gambling arrests here dropped to
astonishing minimums after Mr..
Barrett became chief. At the same
time. they reported the chief and
q small group of Barrett Selec-
tions" in the police department,

which they would not explain.
Narcotic Squad Blasted.
The report struck hard against
the narcotics squad. It said 1t. H.
H. Carper and Sergt. William l..
Taylor, who were in charge Of this
unit, Systematically exacted bribes
from narcotics peddlers. Dope
seized by the police often found
its way back into the traffic, the
report added. It said the police
violated express statutory provi-
sions governing dope disposal.
The document released last night
represented the final act Of the
committee. Under the chairman
ship OF Senator Nicely. Democrat.
of West Virginia, the group had
conducted a nine-month investi-
cation Of District crime and cor
ruption.
To eliminate conditions 1t found,
the committee recommended a
series of new laws and proposed
that steps be taken to keep con-
slant check on the situation. It
urged that a special investigative
staff be established under the
United States Attorney, operating
independently Of the police.
Periodic Studies Urged.
The members suggested that
congressional committees make
periodic studies of law enforce
ment in Washington. They ad-
vocated the formation of a citi-
Zen's group which would focus
attention upon 1t continuously.
Given model laws and diligent
enforcement. the committee said,
the Nations Capital would inspire
action against crime and corrup-
ton in city halls and State capi-
tolls throughout the land.
THE cleansing process, once
started, must be pushed to COM
pletion," the Senators wrote. IF
not, the subcommittee fears it
may leave behind even more cyni-
cism and Generalization than it
found. This is q challenge to
those who now hold responsible
offices.
"The District Commissioners, the
Corporation Counsel, the United
States Attorney and the major
and superintendent of the Metro
politan Police Department must
discharge their respective func-
tions conscientiouSly to see that
the present situation is wholly rec
titled, and to insure that another
congressional inquiry such as this
will never become necessary"
All members of the committee
approved the report: Chairman
Nicely. Senators Hunt Of Wyoming
and Pastore of Rhode Island,
Democrats. and Senators Welker
of Idaho. and Butler of Maryland,
Republicans. The body Of the re-
port was drafted for them by
Rufus King, a Washington lawyer
attached to the crime staff. Mr..
King is a member of the American
Bar Associations Commission on
Organized Crime.
The committee conducted q
series of public and executive
hearings that began in January
and ended early this month.
