two final slapS at District gov
ernment reorganization pro-
grams.
It takes two final slaps at Dis
trict Government reorganization
programs.
For one thing, the conference
report (not the appropriation
bill, itsel) recommends that the
Commissioners make the Office
of District Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler responsible directly to
the Board of Commissioners. At
present he is subordinate to
Schuyler Lowe, director of the
new Department of General Ad-
ministration.
The recommendation as to
Mr.. Fowler is contained in the
following single sentence: ut
is the opinion of the conferees
of both houses that the budget
officers should report directly to
the commissioners"
The bill as revised by the con-
ference report also makes a
considerable reduction from the
more liberal Senate figure on
the amount of funds to be
granted for the employment
of the special staff to carry on
reorganization work.
District officials had asked for
funds for 66 employees in this
field. The House had granted
none; the Senate undertook to
restore funds for 80 positions
and the conference bill cut this
down to less than 10 according
to the calculations of congress
sional clerks.
The bill, as passed, provides
funds for an increase of roughly
112 in the size of the Police De-
partment and the employment
of some 80 civilian, time
Street-crossing guards to guide
school children over the more
dangerous intersections.
1t also provides for 20 .addi-
tional f1remen.
For civilian defense, the bill
allocates $4,000, a compromise
between the skeleton $23, 800
grant made originally by the
House and the call by the Senate
for an outlay of $182,315. The
Commissioners, supported by
Federal and District civil defense
officials, had asked an outlay of
$315,000.

sentatives Robert T. Secrest OF
Senecaville in the 15Lh district
and Frazier Reams OF Toledo in
the 9th district. Both are Demo-
Gratis, although Mr.. Reams now
lists himself as an Independent.
Mr.. Reams served as Gov.
Lausche's f1rst-term welfare di-
rector.
Still another prospect is for
mer 1t. Gov. George D. Nye of
Waverly, who campaigned with
Gov. Lausche but failed to with
stand the 1852 Republican tide
that Gov. Lausche bucked sue
ceSSfully.

Senator Robert j. Bulkley, 72, of
Cleveland. He was the "favorite

the Democratic State organiza-
ton at the party's national con-
vention in Chicago last year.
Campaign Hurt Ferguson.
Another widely-known Ohio
Democrat isn't expected to get in
the running because of GOODNESS
towards the Governor. He is
Joseph T. Ferguson, former State
auditor, who weakened his po-
litical prestige in the 1850 cam
paign against Senator Taft and
lost his State post to a Republi-
can last year. Gov. Lausche
praised Senator Taft and re-
fused to indorse Little Joe"
Ferguson that year.
Associates expressed doubt
that Gov. Lausche would make
any attempt to get himself
named to the Senate. He has
disclaimed ambitions for ma
tional political Office.
The Governor in the past has
expressed aspirations to a high
judgeship as an ideal climax to
an outstanding political career.
But he spurned a chance to
have himself appointed to an
Ohio Supreme Court vacancy by
resigning as Governor so a Dem
ocratic Lieutenant Governor,
who would have become Gov
ernor, could name Gov. Lausche
to the court.
Gov. Lausche said at that time
that he couldn't consider such a
course.
Ohio's present Lieutenant Gov
ernor is Republican, precluding
that situation. But some Ohio
ans have expressed favor for a
high appointment for Gov.
Lausche-if he would accept it
in order to have a Republican
succeed him as Ohio's chief ex-
ecutive.

Big Decision Faces
Gov. Lausche If Taft
Leaves the Senate
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 29.-
If Senator Taft is forced to re-
sign because of illness, Gov.
Frank j. Lausche of Ohio, a Dem
ocrat, faces one of the most i'm
portant decisions Of his political
career.
Ohio'S first four-term Gov
ernor expressed the hope that
Senator Taft can continue to
serve in the Senate.
"I do hope sincerely that he
can continue to serve" Gov.
Lausche said yesterday, on learn
ing that Senator Taft's condi-
tion in New York Hospital had
become worse.
Under Ohio law. the Governor
selects a successor to a Senator
who can not complete his term.
The appointee serves until the
next general election.
Gov. Lausche has expressed
admiration for Senator Taft on
various occasions and indicated
during the 1850 campaign that
he might vote for Senator Taft'S
reelection. Gov. Lausche never
did disclose how he voted.
Democrat Likely Choice.
Despite the governors often
unorthodox political course,
OhioanS expected him to name a
Democrat if the seat is left
vacant by Senator Taft. His ap-
pointee would serve until sue
cessor is elected in November,
1854, and qualified.
Most prominently mentioned
for the position if Senator Taft
must resign is Michael v. Di-
Sale of Toledo. attorney, for
ner State legislator and Federal
price stabilizer late in the Tru-
man administration.
Gov. Lausche went out of his
way to back Mr.. Disable in Mr..
DiSalle'S unsuccessful race to un-
seat Republican Senator Bricker
In last November's election. Mr..
Disable, now practicing law in
Toledo, is a frequent caller on
the governor. But he has ex-
pressed interest in reports that
ne was under consideration to
succeed Stephen A. Mitchell as
Democratic national chairman.
Another close friend of Gov.
LauSche is Mayor Thomas A.
Burke of Cleveland. regarded al
most on a par with Mr.. Disable
as a possible appointee. Gov.
LauSche formerly was a Judge
and mayor in his native Cleve-
land.
Another possibility if Senator
Taft resigns is James w. Huff
man. Columbus Democrat. ap-
pointed to the United States
Senate in 1945 during Gov.
Lausche's first term. Mr.. Huff
man filled the vacancy created
oy the resignation of Republican
Senator Harold H. Burton of
Cleveland to become a Supreme
Court Justice.
Huffman Defeated in Election

State commerce director to take
the Senate seat, failed to win
election the following year.

In your recent editorial "No DAY

"But 1t is another ironic commentary
on voteless Washington to realize that
daylight saving here will be permitted
by our lords and masters, not because
the people of Washington want it-and
they debut because the people of
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York
want it,"
You are absolutely right, but why
don't you follow this reasoning to its
logical conclusion? The people of the
District should have local self-govern-
ment so they may decide such matters
for themselves through their elected
officials You have advocated permit
ting District residents to vote for
President and one or two Repre-
sentatives in order to bring democracy
to the District. Desirable as that may
be to give WaShingtonianS representa-
tion on national problems, it would not
give them any appreciable voice in
District affairs where 435 Congressman
and 96 Senators would still make the
decisions.
A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to permit District residents to
vote for councilmen who would have
authority to legislate for the city.
Under the Constitution. Congress must
always retain ultimate responsibility
for the government Of the District, but
if it functions only in a supervisory
capacity, with the local council taking
care of the details, great deal Of

THE method is much like that Of the
now extinct Thug caste In India"
Possibly more than one assassin was
involved. Two prospectors were found
lying side by side. It was argued that
no single individual could have throt-
tied both of them. Maybe "a gang Of
strangers" was "preying systemati-
cally upon desert travellers"

ported: Lloyd Griscom, formerly
Mr. Griscom's now Minister to Japan.

way to his new post OF
duty. he mas presented the state De-
partment with two lithographic copies
Of the Emancipation Proclamation Of
President Lincoln, believed to be the
only exact copies in existence. Ac-
cording to the story =. President
Lincoln loaned the original Emancipa-
ton Proclamation to a society Of
ladies, who desired to exhibit the fa-
nous paper and to use the money thus
collected for charitable purposes. After
the death Of Lincoln. the paper was
left in the possession Of that society
in Chicago and was burned in the IRE
that nearly destroyed the city. It
seems that Mr. Griscom's father.
Clement A. Griscom. made several
photographic copies Of the proclama-
ton while it was in Chicago and. that
the two now. presented to the State
Department are the last Ia existence.

To Make Your Easter Happier

We are falling behind in the Red Cross
campaign this year. The campaign may even
fail. That failure this community cannot
afford. The trouble is not only shortage of
dollars Behind that lies shortage of con-
tributors. There are evidently thousands Of
people in Washington and the Metropolitan
Area who have been approached by volunteer
solicitors and have every intention Of con-
tributing. But they have not done so. So the
effort this week will be to recapture these
contributors. Perhaps you have already decided
to make a contribution but have neglected it.
If so, send money or check or money order to
