terday as he and three companions
were descending the northeast
slope Of the mountain after a

Young Jessett called to his COM
panions that he was trapped in

|0ut|ook Is Held
dim for Accord
On Civil Rights
Mckinney Compromise
Seen Endangered by
New Trumun PIeo

President Truman's renewed
advocacy of his explosive civil
rights program seems to have
wrecked the compromise plan of
Democratic National Chairman
Frank E. Mckinney. There still
is hope in some quarters that q
satisfactory settlement can be
reached at the July convention,
and a party split akin to that of
1948 avoided.
The Presidents call for enact
ment of his proposals in Saturday
nights speech to the Americans
for Democratic Action, set off a
determined drive to write a vigor-
GUS civil rights section in the
Democratic platform.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, Of
New York, announced his inten-
ton to fight" for the full pro-
gram, including a Fair Employ
ment Practices Commission to
prevent racial job discrimination.
George Voices Doubts.
Senator George, Democrat, Of
Georgia, principal opponent,
said he doubts Chairman McKin-
ney's conciliatory attitude will
prevail.
II hope the convention will
adopt a plank something like that
proposed by former Senator Fran
els Myers in 1948," Senator George
said. But if it adopts the 1948
plank, the action will be very,
very Objectionable to the South"
Mr.. Myers had proposed a plank
generally committing the party to
advance civil rights, but Hubert
Humphrey, now Senator, forced
through a statement demanding
action on Mr.. Truman's legislative
proposals.
This caused the Dixie walkout.
Hill Is Optimistic.
Senator Hill of Alabama, who
has fought to keep his States
party organization within the ma
tional group, said he believes Q
compromise still is possible.
"The members of the drafting
committee are able, temperate.
well-balanced persons who can
work out a platform acceptable
to the different viewpoints" he
declared.
Mr.. Mckinney supervised the
naming of a preliminary drafting
committee described by other con-
vention officials as down-the.
middle on the civil rights issue.

On Raw Cotton and Textiles
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Office of Price Sterilization
said today price controls are being
suspended on raw cotton and
practically all textiles including
those made of wool, cotton and
synthetic fibers.
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall
signed the order this morning
Details are to be announced late

An official told a reporter the
order sets 43.39 cents a pound as
the point at which raw cotton
would be brought back under con-
troll: This compares with the
existing ceiling of 45.39 cents for
futures.
An official said the order on
textiles exempts just about every
type of fabric at the manufacture
ing level.
Textiles have been selling far
below ceiling and officials pre-
dicted the suspension would mean
no change in the retail prices.

McGranery's Integrity
Questionable, Senate
Minority Report Says
Seven Specific Subjects
Cited in 6. O. P. Attack
As Bosis for Charge
By George Beveridqe

Opposing the nomination OF
Federal Judge James P. McGran-
cry to be Attorney General, two
Republican Senator's charged to-
day that the integrity, ability
and veracity of the nominee is
most questionable"
These charges were made by
Senators Ferguson, of Michigan
and Watkins, of Utah, in a Senate
Judiciary Committee minority re-
port against confirmation of the
56-year-old Philadelphia jurist.
Early Consideration Sought.
The Judiciary Committee on
May 9 recommended confirmation
by an eight-to-four vote. Senate
leaders hoped to take up the
controversial cabinet nomination
within the next two days.
Senators Ferguson and Watkins
said the necessity of filing the
minority report by midnight last
Saturday made it impossible to
get the signatures of the two
other Republican committee dis
|senters, Senators Jenner, of In
diana, and Hendrickson, of New
Jersey.
The 44-page minority report
cited seven specific subjects COW
cred during four days of hearings
on the nomination.
Question His Promise.
The two Senators said they did
not believe Judge McGranery's
performance would match his
promise to weed out and fire any
incompetent. disloyal or dishon-
est employees" he found in the
Justice Department. They added:
"The confirmation OF Judge Nc
Granery would not restore the
confidence on the part of the
American people in the admins
tration, but will, on the other
hand, lend impetus to the charge
of 'whiteWash'!"
In public statement, the two
Republicans urged that a Senate
vote be put off until certain ques-
tions could be cleared up by more
testimony.

faced with the necessity of finding
another solution to critical over.

His proposal was rejected by Q
I2-to-1 vote. Mrs. E. c. Magde-
burger and Mrs. Arcadia N. Phillip.
voted against the transfer. DR.
Philip r. johnson, the colorec
member Of the committee, voted
for it.
Would Aid Three Schools.
DR.. Corning recommended the
transfer of Eliot, located at Eight
eenth and B streets NE, to re-
lieve overcrowding at three COL
ored junior high schools. The
three, Brown, Miller and Randall,
will have more than 1.4OO pupils
above capacity next September,
DR.. Corning said.
After the committees action,
DR.. Corning withdrew another
recommendation tied into the
same general situation. This plan
was to convert the old Terrell
Junior High School to a grade
school this fall. The present Ter
rell pupils will be housed in the
new Terrell school now under
construction.
DR.. Corning asked the commit
tee not to act on this proposal
since he would have to restudy the
whole situation in view of its
action.
FairbrOther Plan Voted.
In another action, the commit
tee approved the transfer of the
Fairbrother Elementary School,
Tenth and E streets S.W., from
white to colored pupils. This will
relieve overcrowding at five COL
ored schools in Southwest Wash
ington.
The proposed transfer of Eliot
aroused considerable opposition.
White residents of the Eliot area
protested the change at a public
hearing two weeks ago.
The majority of colored neigh
borhood groups appearing at the
nearing approved the transfer.
DR.. johnson and Mrs. James w.
Williams, another colored board
led the fight to effect
the transfer. Both pointed out
that there were thousands of
empty seats in the white schools
while the colored schools all were
jammed. Mrs. Williams asked:
How can we justify holding
both Eliot and Eastern High
School "a white high school ad-
jacent to Elliott? We shouldn't
be guilty of trying to crowd and
jam these children any longer.
Adelbert Lee, board vice presi-
dent. asked:
If the need is so acute for jun
ior high space, is it suitable to
abandon Terrell?"

Further on Harsch says There is
dragging of heels all over the European
lot on the part of everybody :. A con-
gresham hunting for ammunition for
his stump speeches finds no dearth of
material.
Well, now that is a really pregnant
idea. Why not send all our congress-
men and senators who are up for cleo
tion this year, over there? Let them
collect their material and demand that
they deliver their speeches to the peo-
pie over there, WITHOUT BENEFIT
OF RADIO?
On second thought that would prob
ably be dangerous, for while it would
remove a number of superfluous and
obnoxious politicians from this country
and relieve our own citizens from the
tedium of listening to a lot of over
ripe baloney, it would in all probable
ity so thoroughly disgust the European
people with our American way of

alton projects, and which is one third
| the total of all Reclamation projects

vide. According to the bureau news
release, the production on the Sun R1v-
er project in 1851, the highest since
| 1947 was an average of $27.60 per acre
According to the report of the Mon
tana Department of Agriculture, the
| highest average yield on nOn-irrigated
since 1947 in all of Teton county, was
| valued at $4S.S4 per acre, or $21.24 per
| acre MORE than on the Sun River prof.
ect in the same county. 1t seems almost
| unbelievable that non-irrigated land
produced II per cent more than the
irrigated project lands, but reliable,
official figures speak for themselves.
Let the Bureau of Reclamation cut
out the propaganda and give all the
facts, not just selected few of them.
The people are entitled to them because
they are paying for it,, whether they
get them or not. OF course, if the Bur-
eau gave all the facts, it would let the
wind out of their propaganda balloon.
They should give the increase in pro
duction, as well as the total. Even the
increase in production does not mean
much unless cost of production is also
considered and compared.
OF course irrigated agriculture is a
stabilizer in the long run. But after
ALL farming is a business like any
other, and is profitable only when the
required investment is within due
bounds. That is why our congressional
delegation should carefully scrutinize
requests for funds, and should not APP
prove appropriations for the building
of projects like the Marias project at
$1,000 per acre, that will not be worth
one tenth the cost after completion.
