Republican Challenge
OF Harriman's S votinq
RiqhtsIs Pooh-Po Poohed

A Republican challenge con-
corning w. Averell Harriman's
voting rights was pooh-poohed to-
|day by the Democratic presiden-
tial contender's District manager.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, District
Republican leader. raised the ques-
ton. The answer came quickly
from Joseph Rauh, jr., who man
aged Mr.. Harriman's victorious
primary campaign here. He
called it "a tempest in a teapot"
Mr.. McGarraghy disclosed he
had written New York COP lead
ers pointing out that Mr.. Harri-
man had voted here after signing
a statement that he had lived in
the District one year. =
Claims Doubt Is Cast.
This, the COP leader said, casts
doubt on his right to vote in New
York.
Mr.. Rauh said he understood
residence, however, to mean mere
ly physical presence in the Dis
trict. Mr.. Hartman, although
here as mutual security director,
is a New Yorker.
The manager also referred to a
survey made in .1948 for the House
Home Rule Subcommittee in which
80 States reported that voting in
Washington municipal elections
under home rule would not con-
fict with State voting rights.
DIR. George B. Galloway. who
made the survey, said today the
two cases were not the same, but
that he considered it likely the
same reasoning would apply. New
York's Gov. Dewey was one of
those who said there would be no
conflict. he said.
Up to New York Law.
Gerhard A. van Arkel, secretary
Iof the Democratic Central Com
mittee, said New York law would
govern the matter. He added he
wasn't familiar with it, however.
Some Democratic primary liter
ature told voters that voting here
wouldn't affect their State votins
rights. The poll watchers were
told to answer no to the question,
would lose my vote elsewhere?"
The Hartman factions sample
ballot contained the statement,
You can vote even If you have
a voting residence elsewhere as
long as you did not vote in this
years primary"
MIR. McGarraghy told a reporter
he felt there was some question
not only about Mr.. Hartman but
about many Democratic primary
voters here.
But Mr.. Rauh dismissed the
10. o. p. protest with:
II think it's all tempest in a
teapot. with the Republicans try
ing to get into the act"

House Support Seen
For Welfare BUILDINGS
|Af ChiIdren's Center

House support today was indi-
Gated for the Senate plan to grant
funds for revival of the program
for building new District welfare
institutions at the District Chill
dren's Center at Laurel, Md.
Various members are sympa-
thetic to the needs Of replacing the
shabby and outworn buildings.
A more direct response came
from one Of the key members of
the House Appropriations sub
committee in charge Of the 1852
District budget bill-Representa-
tive Furcolo. Democrat. Of Massa-
chuSettS.
The Senate has written into the
bill an item Of only $4,000 for the
drafting of architectural plans
for a new Industrial Home School
for Colored Girls on the Laurel
site. This project would include
replacement of Washington's S
dilapidated, National Training
School for Girls.
Absences Delay Bill.
Mr.. Furcolo said he is aware Of
the condition in the old welfare
institution buildings.
Action on the District bill is
being temporarily delayed because
of the absence from Washington
of some key members. These in
cluded Representative Bates, Dem
ocrat, of Kentucky, head of the
House subcommittee, and Repre-
sentative Wilson. Republican, Of
Indiana.
Federal Share in Dispute.
The House probably will name
it's conferees on the bill early next
week. It will be touch and 60 if
the House and Senate differences
can be ironed out before the end
of the fiscal year, June 80. An
emergency continuing resolution
may be necessary.
One of the major differences is
the size of the Federal share Of
costs of the National Capital. The
House, voted to reduce the author
lied $12 million Federal payment
by $2.4 million. or by 20 per cent.
The Senate insisted on the full
$12 million.
Mr.. Furcolo said he believes the
conferees will agree on a larger
sum than that granted by the
House. At worst, he said, any cut
made would not be more than 10
per cent, or $1.2 million.

Campbell Is Witness.

Edmund D. Campbell, a Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from
the 10th district, was called as a
witness earlier In the hearing by
Mr.. Hassan. Mr.. Campbell denied
he had anything to do with the
preparation Of the sermon and
said the first he knew Of 1t was
when it was released the day after
its delivery.
Mr.. Campbell said he received
q copy Of the release in the mail
but had nothing to do with send
ing the copy to the Washington
Post. He said a reporter for The
Star called him and asked for
verification Of the sermon and he
gave the reporter the information
sought.
Mr.. Campbell was the attorney
for Robert w. Cox, q board mem
ber who also mad been ordered to
answer contempt action earlieJ
in the day. After an hours hear.
ing before Judge Lyttleton Wad.

against Mr.. Cox was dismissed.

meal shortages, particularly Of
cotton seed and soybean pro-
ducts.
It reads:
IA slight pick up in consumer
demand has been experienced
by southeastern formula feed
manufacturers. 1t is the opinion
of several reliable informants that
bins have reached a low level
which is causing replacement
buying.
THE heavy chick placements
of recent weeks are now begin
ming to have some effect in the
pick up in demand for broiler
mashes. Unfortunately broiler
prices have weakened l and 2
cents in most southeastern COM
mercial producing areas. This
has caused the chick-feed ratio
to decline even further and cur
rently make poultry production
profitable to only the most ex-
perienced management.
"The situation has returned
to a point of profits being made
only through sales of feed by
large formula feed manufac-
turers which are generally fin
ancing the raising of broilers.
This condition is now causing
the average southeastern feed
manufacturer to restrict his pro-
duction of broiler mashes even
though rate of chick placement
is at high point.
The extremely weak egg
market is causing feeders to hold
their demand for feed to the
lowest minimum. This, too, is
reducing overall formula feed
production. g
Spring grasses are not as yet
prevalent, but dairymen are
largely filling their needs with
comparatively low-priced citrus
pulp, ground snapped corn and
wheat bran. Due to these fac
tors a number of enterprising
feed manufacturers are forrnul-
ating cheap dairy roughage con-
centrates to meet the needs of
their dairymen.
Apparently the manufacturing
trade is comfortably fixed for
proteins during the next so days,
although it has suddenly become
extremely difficult to obtain We
getable oil meals from southeast
ern sources. Contrary to popu-
lar conception during the past
three weeks of slow feed demand,
the available oil meal supply
amounted to only a very few
thousand tons from southeastern
sources. During the past few
days scattered buying over the
country rapidly took up these
offerings, and now it is extremely
difficult to obtain either soybean
or cottonseed meal of any kind
from any southeastern professor
After taking decline of $13 a
ton, nonceiling peanut oil meal

obviously, the people of West

share with our own leaders
the fear of Soviet military de-

we seem to have made little

And, as we continue these
wastrel policies without pro-
mise or hope of regaining nor
malcy, as we repudiate the
economic concepts which rails
ed our standard of life beyond
all comparison with others;
as we conduct confiscatory
levies upon incomes, gifts and
inheritances calculated to de-
stroy the principle of private
ownership of property; as we
depart from American ideals
and reverse the course which
served us SO long and bene-
fitted us so well, it becomes
increasingly clear that the pat
tern of American fiscal policy
is being brought into conson-
ance with the Karl Marx Com
munist theory that through a
division of the existing veal

to a universal standard of life

Domestic Scene
"The domestic scene has
witnessed the greatest orgy
of spending in history - a
fantastic phenomenon which
defies all reason - which has
induced a tax burden upon
the people, largely upon the
lower and middle income
groups, which has already
destroyed the will TO work.
Yet, our leaders show not the
slightest concern for the stark
tragedy which will descend
upon the nation once the ex-
haustion of our resources
brings this extravaganza of
spending to an abrupt end
Then, will our people face the
reality that their energies and
those of their children and
children's children have been
mortgaged for generations to
come.
"The corollary to this If
responsible handling Of the

shocking disclosures of graft
and corruption over a wide
area of the public service.
There has resulted "a conse-

) Indeed, the relationship
which once existed between
government and people when
the open criticism of the con-
duct of public affairs was ac-
cepted as a safeguard against
inefficient, irresponsible or ar
bitrary administration is now
all but lost. The people are
told in effect that the admin
istration of their government
is none of their affair. They
are but to listen and to obey.
The inner circles of govern
ment partake more and more
of the nature of a pampared,
exclusive club. Dangerous ex-
perments with the public in
terest, creeping CORRUPTION in
fiscal honesty and reckless
gambling with the public Sc
Ecurity have led us inexorably
down the road toward moral
decadence and political dis
indignation.
Foreign Policy
