House Hearing Leads
To Clash on Legality oi
'De|egating Home Rule
Case Is Questioned
On ConstitutionoIity Of
Giving Council Powers
By Don S. Warren

Clashes of views on Washing
ton home rule were renewed today
lat a hearing before the judiciary
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee on the Senate
passed bill for an elected form Of
District government.
The prime subject Of debate
was whether provisions Of the
Senate bill were constitutional in
creating a city council which
would act as the legislative agent
|of Congress in enacting purely
local laws, including budgets and
taxes.
A staunch defense Of the SEN
ate bill was presented by Senator
Case, Republican. Of South Da-
kota, one Of the authors Of the
compromise bill passed by the
Senate January % after it de-
feated by a surprisingly close vote
an opposition move to send the
bill back to the Senate District
Committee.
Questioned Extensively.
He ran into a barrage Of ques-
tions from committee members
with the point Of 'constitutionality
sharply raised by Representative
Abernethy, Democrat, Of Missis-
sippi, and other issues raised by
Representatives Redden. Demo-
|crat, of North Carolina, and

Senator Case, however. won
supporting statements from Re-
publican Representatives Sitter
of Pennsylvania and Auchincloss

tire morning session.

But, the DPA warned, if a steel

Itimistic outlook.
Manly Fleischmann, DPA ad-
miniStrator, said substantial
amounts Of the materials in short
supply would be available for new
Iconstruction In the industrial and
commercial fields in the third and
fourth quarters this year. He said
this was not relaxation of con-
trolls but q prediction of the
lamount Of materials to be avail
able in the six months starting
July /.
Near Normal Rate.
at is my belief that by the end
lot this year we will be able to
resume something close to normal
rates Of construction in the COM
mercial field" he declared.
He added: "In case Of q steel
strike, the most drastic possible
controls would have to be put on.
Such q strike would have an ir,-
4 mediate and drastic effect on the
defense needs"
1 Mr.. Fleischmann said:
"DPA has just completed a
study Of the material require
1ments of the military and indus
trial expansion programs for the
balance Of the year. It appears
that the heavy requirements of
the industrial expansion program
will reach a peak in the second
quarter Of this year and will
thereafter decline.
More Steel Seen.
Accordingly, there will be more
materials, particularly structural
|steel. available in the third and
fourth quarters for less essential
industrial projects, commercial
buildings such 40 Office buildings
and stores, and for public works
construction. including highways,
schools and hospitals"
He said the announcement o1
Availability Of the materials later
lin the year was being made now
so that industry viii have notice
of the approaching near normal
lity." He added that recreation
and amusement projects would
mot be included.
\ Applications Asked.

Ito get their applications in imme-

had been refused previously would
be reconsidered now.
He warned that the copper sit
uation was still extremely serious

policy was no guarantee that
Everybody would get the go-ahead
signal.
He said a substantial number of
new projects will be authorized for
the third quarter and materials
will be allocated for that quarter

Of Electrical Workers

Munitions Board Chairman
John D. Small warned Congress
today that national security is
endangered because some defense
contracts involved unions con-
trolled by Communists.
He gave a Senate subcommit-
tee confidential figures which he
said showed a Substantial dollar
volume" of important defense
contracts in plants where the
United Electrical Workers Union
is the collective bargaining agent.
The UEW was expelled from the
CIO in 1949 and a new CIO elec-
trical union was formed.
"The United Electrical Work
ers Union," he explained, els the
collective bargaining agent for
many facilities working on i'm
portant defense contracts in the
strategically important field of
electronics. Congressional re-
ports point out that a roll call Of
their leadership reveals names
whose affinity to the Communist
Party line is a proven fact. It
was sufficient for Congress and
sufficient to cause loyal brethren
to brand them as either the
agents or dupes of communism
and to expel them in disgrace"
Allis- Chalmers Strike Recalled.
Mr.. Small recalled the Allis-
Chalmers strike during the period
of the Nazi-Russian pact early in
World War II. He told the sub
committee that 1--WE cannot help
but be led to the conclusion that
we must be alive to the potential
menace today"
Mr.. Small was the first witness
at a Senate Labor subcommittee

of Communist domination of labor
unions. Senator Humphrey, Dem
ocrat, of Minnesota, subcommit.
tee chairman, explained that the
study will take a broad and
philosophical approach" instead oi
trying to determine particularly
whether individuals or specific
