Judge Myers present term has six
more years to go.
Another nominee is Mrs. Grace
M. Stewart. executive assistant
to the Attorney General, named
to fill the Municipal Court va
cancy created by the death of
Judge Ellen K. Raedy.
She is a veteran of 80 years

The hurried effort of Congress
to adjourn left the Districts Mu-
nicipal Court situation clouded
last night.
Failure of the Senate to confirm
recent nominations for the bench
sent up by President Truman may
make the nominees decide to hold
on to their present posts rather
than risk short-lived recess ap-
pointment to new positions.
Barring a special session of Con-
greSs, the nominations are dead.
President Truman could give, the
nominees recess appointments.
But this would leave the posts
still In the air next January when
q new President might have diff
ferent ideas about filling them.
It seemed unlikely last night
that Judge Thomas D. Quinn OF
the Municipal Court of Appeals,
nominated as chief judge of Mu-
nicipal Court, and Judge Frank H
Myers of Municipal Court. named
to succeed Judge Quinn, would be
interested in recess appointments.

sy the Associated Pres.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July
I5.-Denmark tonight was reported
planning fiat rejection of an
American protest against delivery
|of Danish-built tanker to Rus
STA.
No one would guess what the
results might be. But it was gen.
|erally agreed that even if the
United States Government cuts
off all military and economic aid
to Denmark, a 1948 contract for
the tanker must be followed

Endorsement Expected.
Contrary to expectations, no
final decision on Denmark's reply
Ito the American protest was
reached at today's hastily sum-
moned cabinet meeting. But a
government source indicated the
ministers will tell party leaders
Monday to turn the tanker over to

Meanwhile, the controversial

flying a gilt hammer and sickle
lemblem on her funnel and with
a Russian crew aboard-was at

ready to clear out at a moments
notice.
Niels Munich. president Of Bur-

knew nothing of newspaper re-
ports the tanker might sail to-

Danes generally appeared to
take the view that the sooner they
see the last Of the Apsheron the
better. Not a voice was raised
publicly in favor of keeping the
vessel, as the United States de-
|manded.
Under the 1948 Danish Soviet
trade pact, Burmeister & Vain
were to build two tankers and five
smaller cargo vessels for the Rus
slams. Steel and timber are among
the goods Denmark gets in return.
However. an executive Of the ship
building company said no Russian

House speaker Rayburn earlier in
the evening that the House pro-
lyiso would hobble atomic weapons
productions and jeopardize ma

The House wrote into the bill
a rider which, Mr.. Truman's let
ter said. "forbids the Atomic En-
ergy Commission to start any
specific construction project un-
less funds are available to COM
Iplete it."
Contains $1.45 Billion.
The bill contains $l.45 billion
for the atomic energy program.
Arguing against the House curb.
Senator Hickenlooper. Republic
can. of Iowa, told the Senate:
There isn't any question but
that the end result-power for
the defense of this country-will
be unduly and perilously delayed
if the provision remains"
Just before it hit another road
block on the way to adjournment,
the Senate passed a SAG billion
appropriation for the Armed
Forces.
This sent the bill-biggest In
terms of money of the session-to
the White House.
The drive for adjournment sui.

ator Maybank, Democrat, of South

called the civil functions.

mittee. Senator Maybank said he
was ready to talk all night" un-
less a 81 million item for the Hart
well Dam in Georgia and South
Carolina was put back in the bill.
To break up the filibuster
threat, the Senate recessed subject
to a call from the chair. Evidently
the idea was to soothe ruf1ed feel
ings in the corridors. and come
back again with a clearer path to

tor Maybank was talking about a
compromise at>$2 million.
The Senate had approved $667
million for civil functions. while
the House voted $492 millions.

to provide some cost-of- living re-
lief to Federal annuitants whose
annuities have not kept pace with
rising prices.
Without a dissenting vote the
House and Senate yesterday
quickly approved the compromise
measure worked out by House
Senate conferees. President Tru-
mans signature is considered GER
tain.
Gives Temporary Raise.
The bill provides a temporary
22-month increase that will be-
come effective this September
and continue until June 80, 1854
At the end of that time, the in
crease will be continued for
another year if Congress votes the
necessary funds to pay for the
boost. Until that time, the cost OF
the increase will be borne by the
Civil Service retirement fund.
In any event, the pension in
crease will lapse on June 80, 1855,
regardless of whether Congress
votes additional appropriations or
not. The confereeS explained that
this was done because another
provision of the bill calls for q
comprehensive study by six-man
Government board of the entire
Federal retirement system.
The bill also imposes a $2,16C
cutoff for annuitants and sur
vivors. Those drawing pensions
in excess of that amount will not
receive any pension increase.
$4,000 Will Benefit.
More than 1sl, 900 persons will
benefit from the bill, including
nearly 10000 in Washington
Those eligible must have retired
or been drawing survivorshir
annuities prior to April /, 1852
The increases will not apply tt
those who retired after April I OF
in the future, nor to those who
became survivors after the April
date.
The $50 to 1924 a year increase
lis determined by this formula: An
annuitant receives $36 for each
six month period that he has beer
retired. This increase, however
cannot exceed 1924 or Is per cent
Of an annuitant's present pension
The increase may be cancelled
