Adjournment
Continued From First Page.

Several of them protested that
the committee should allow more
than two hours of debate. Rep
resentative Madden, Democrat,
of Indiana said he thought it
was 'inexcusable for the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the
Treasury to send up a crisis bill
two days before Congress was
scheduled to adjourn"
Danger of Insolvency Cited.
Secretary Humphrey told re-
porters that he and Mr.. Dodge
gave the House committee "ex-
actly the same briefing we gave
yesterday to congressional lead
ers and at a subsequent press
conference" He said they stressed
the necessity of lifting the ma
tional debt ceiling to ward off
any danger to the solvency of
the Government.
The Treasury Secretary re-
marked that the committee
members asked numerous queS-
tionS but that the session was
very friendly and frank. After
the two officials left the hearing
room, the committe remained in
session for only 10 minutes more
and then announced that the
debt limit bill was approved
without change.
"The real purpose Of our re-
quest. as we told the committee, -
Secretary Humphrey said, lis to
give us room to operate in paying
bills that are coming in for
materials we have bought. An
increase is imperative before we
run out of money and are un-
able to pay salaries and bills. 1t
is unthinkable that the Govern
ment of the United States should
not pay its bills and meet its
obligations promptly"
Administration leaders in Con-
greSS made it clear that they
would try to put a bill through,
but whether they would stick to
this resolve if it meant pro-
tracted debate and indefinite
postponement of adjournment
was still an open question.
Democrats Question Need.
Several Senate Democrats -
such influential members as
Senator Byrd of Virginia and
George of Georgia-question the
need for raising the debt limit
before October. if at all.
Senate Democratic Leader
Johnson viewed the Presidents
request as Startling" He wanted
to know why it was left until the
"11th hour" when it might have
been submitted months ago. He
declared nevertheless that "in
view of the new facts it deserves
serious consideration" in order to
protect the solvency and security
of the Nation.
Senator johnson said he re-
gretted that the proposal appar-
emily will force a temporary
postponement of adjournment
plans. But such a proposal from
the President merits the most
careful study, he maintained.
Morse Opposes Raise.
The proposal drew compara-
lively little fire on the Senate
or House floor yesterday. Sen
ator Morse, Independent. of
Oregon, told the Senate last
night that Congress ought to
adjourn now because it could
be called back next fall if a
debt ceiling change was proved
absolutely necessary. He said he
saw no reason for an increase.
Spending always could be scaled
down, he contended.

Truscott 10 Head
Miami Beach Police

Floyd A. Truscott, former
executive officer of the Metro
politan Police Department who
retired for disability three years
ago, yesterday was named chief
of police of Miami Beach, Fla.
A one-time chief of detectives,
a career policeman and former
public safety official on Guam,
Mr.. Truscott is So.
The Miami Herald said the
Miami Beach City Council voted
the job to him on a 5-to-2 ballot.
The two dissenting votes came
from Council members who
would have preferred advancing
some member of the Miami
Beach force to the top spot, The
Herald said.
Mr.. Truscott told Beach Off

fects of the neuritis which
caused him to leave the Wash
ington force. His new job will

Senate's Revised Bill
On Home Rule Up for
Committee Action
By Don S. Worren

A revised Washington home
rule bill was expected to be ap-
proved today by the Senate Dis
trict Committee. This would
make it possible for the full
Senate to act before the end
of this session.
A committee contest appar-
entity was in the offing, however.
Senator Morse, Independent, OF
Oregon has prepared an amend
ment to require the election of
the proposed Mayor.
The Oregon member has at
tackled as undemocratic the pro-
posal that the Mayor be ap-
pointed by the President, in
stead of being elected along with
members of the city council and
the Board of Education.
Minor Amendments Adopted
: The judiciary subcommittee
of the Senate District Commit
tee late yesterday approved the
bill. after adopting a series of
amendments; many of them
minor. =a-- - 80
One, of the important changes
would require run-off elections.
if leading candidates did not
poll a majority Of the votes.
This amendment would call
for the general election in Octo-
ber of even-numbered years,
with the run-off, if needed, on
national election day, the first
Tuesday after the first Monday
in November.
Another change recommended
by the subcommittee, headed by
Senator Barrett. Republican, of
Wyoming, would reduce the min
imum number of signers on
nominating petitions for men,
bers of the council, school board
and District delegate to the
House to a fiat 1000.
The earlier bill had called for
l per cent of the registered
voters in the city for delegate,
and in each of the three wards,
for council or school board.
Cut Referendum Ratio.
Likewise, the subcommittee re-
duced from 20 to 10 per cent the
number of registered voters who
would have to sign petitions in
order to initiate a referendum
on major city issues. This was
adopted on a motion by Senator
Morse.
The subcommittee struck from
the bill an old provision to put
District employees under the Fed
eral civil service system. This
was done to simplify the meas
ure. Spokesmen said.
Classified employees of the Dis
trict now are employed under
a working agreement with the
Civil Service Commission. There
are special procedures for school,
library, police and firemen ap-
pointments in the absence of any
formal overall District civil
service law.

Fairchild was operating in a

He said it was a report made

When Mr.. Talbot said he was
not familiar with that particular
report, Mr.. Macy accused him
of callousness in canceling $440

tracts which involve some 12.-

7 Ta|boH Says He Alone
Halted $44O Million
Kaiser Plane Contract
By John A. Giles

Air Force Secretary Talbot as
serted today that he alone
made the decision to cancel $440
million worth Of Air Force manu-
featuring contracts with the
Henry j. Kaiser interests. A
union representative Immediately
accused him of "callousness."
The secretary promptly denied
the charge made by Emil Macy,
Secretary-treasurer of the CIO
United Auto Workers, at a Pen
tagon meeting called to discuss
the cancellation. The entire
Michigan congressional delega-
ton and Kaiser representatives
attended.
Mr.. Macy said the union was
not challenging the June "a
cancellation of a Kaiser contract
to build C-119 Flying Boxcars.
However. he made a plea for the
return of a contract to build c.
123 assault transports to the
Kaiser plant at Willow Run,
Mich.
Statement Is Amended.
Mr.. Talbot at first asserted
fatty that he had no intention of
making any such move. How
ever. an hour-and-a-half later,
Air Force public information Off
GERS announced an amendment to
Mr.. Talbott'S statement.
In the revised statement, Sec
retary Talbot pointed out that
a final determination of the
manufacturer of the GLIB had
not been reached and added:
Should a decision be reached
to produce the C-123, Kaiser will
be given an equal opportunity,
along with other manufacturers,
to submit a proposition to supply
our requirements"
In defending the contract can
collation., Mr.. Talbot had said
earlier that We're approx
mately one year behind at the
time of cancellation.
In view of our schedule ex-
perience and price increases on
the Clio, we have no reason to
believe that schedules would be
met or that the unit cost of the
C-123 would not show a con-
tinued rise.
I'VE have not reached a final
determination on the manufac-
ture of the C-123. However, if
it is built it will not be manu-

.S227 Million Voted
By House as Aid 10
School Construction
By HoroId B. ROGERS

Legislation authorizing 1927
million for school construction
in areas overcrowded with chill
dren of Federal workers was OH
it's way to the Senate today,
after House passage late yester-
day.
The measure to continue the
program already underway
throughout the Nation would
benefit many school districts. in
Guiding areas in nearby Vir-
ginia and Maryland. The
financial help, however, would be
less than in the past. The bill
extends the construction aid for
only one more year.
A companion bill, providing
500 million to help similar
"federally impacted" places over
a two-year period. was given an
official place on the House pro-
gram. 1t is expected to be taken
up next week.
This measure for maintenance
and operation of schools. also
would be of some help to nearby
counties here, but it would pro-
vide less than has been granted
in the past fiscal year.
Formula Decides Amount.
Details of how much money
would come to the Metropolitan
Area counties were not available
today. They will be worked out,
in the case of both bills, by the
United States Office of Educa-
ton, under a complicated for
mula.
Neither of the two measures
would help the District school
system.
The construction bill is ex-
pected to go to the Senate Edu-
cation and Public Welfare Com
mittee, which already has before
it an entirely different kind OF
bill for Federal aid to all schools
of the Nation. The Senate bill
would allocate money to all
States and the District, to be
handled primarily by State and
District school authorities.
The House passed into con-
struction measure, after lengthy
debate, by an overwhelming
voice vote, without a single
change in the measure as re.
ported by the Education ano
Labor Committee.
Amendment Defeated.
One attempt to amend the
bill was defeated by a voice vote
Representative Elliott, Democrat
of Alabama supported by a few
members fought for a proviso tc
add $78.3 million to the bill
This would have maze eligible
many areas that. had failed tc
file all required applications by
the deadline of June 80, 1852.
The $227 million was author
lied by the bill but still remains
to be appropriated by Congress
before funds would be available
for distribution
OF the total figure, $125 mil
lion would go to communities
suffering new impacts" from
the number of children of Fed,
eral workers. Some of these
funds might go to Virginia and
Maryland counties, if they quail
fled under the formula.
Also authorized would be sos
million to take care of areas
qualifying for earlier projects for
which the last Congress appro-
priated no funds.
Among these are projects in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties,
Va, and in Alexandria. Official
records show Arlington County
is qualified for $675,551, Fairfax
