There were reports that at
least two Democrats on the COM
mittee voted in favor of issuing
a subpoena.
Mr.. Reed, while refusing even
to say whether the vote was
mainly on party lines, told re-
porters that the matter was thor
oughly discussed for more than
two hours in closed session. The
prevailing reasons given by men,
bers opposing a subpoena. Mr..
Reed said, were that Congress
expects to adjourn by August
and also that a move to subpoena
a Supreme Court justice, al

Possible Actions Cited.
Some members, Mr.. Reed in

explained that several members
doubted that such action could
be accomplished In the last few
weeks Of the congressional ses-
sion.
Still other members, Mr.. Reed
added, indicated they might vote
for a subpoena if they were GER
tain the full House would vote
on the merits of the issue and
not on strictly partisan lines.
Mr.. Reed also said some men,
berS expressed fear the issuance
Of q subpoena might establish an
unfortunate precedent which
might be abused by future Con-
crosses, particularly If angered
by Supreme Court decisions.
Not Fully Answered.
But others. Mr.. Reed declared,
emphasized that the subpoena
would have called for testimony
dealing only with matters that
occurred before Justice Clark was
appointed to the bench in 1949.
These members, he said, thought
Justice Clark's statement refus-
ing an invitation to testify did
not fully answer the subcommit-
tees questions, but that in any
event, it did not seem sufficient
to justify subpoena.
Justice Clark had said in a
letter to Mr.. Heating that he
was inclined to honor the COM
mittee'S request but decided to
forego it because it would involve
"a matter Of principle"
Justice Clark said his action
was motivated by a belief that
the judiciary must remain inde-
pendent Of the legislative or ex-
cutive branches of the Govern
ment and apart from politics.

Jess M. Ritchie told investi-

Bureau of Standards never has
given a proper test to battery

Mr.. Ritchie said the Bureau
of Standards, on the basis of
inadequate tests, condemned

thus persuaded the Post Office
to issue a fraud order against

Site for New College,
Doctrine and Budget
Top Lutheran Agenda
By the Assoeiatea Press

HOUSTON, Tex, June 23.-
Three more questions were to be
placed before the Lutheran
Church. Missouri Synod conven-
ton today.
On today's agenda were the
proposed selection Of Fort
Wayne, Ind, as the site for a
synodical senior college. two
more resolutions on a contro-.
versial common confession" or
statement of doctrine. and the
1954-56 triennium budget.
Two unexpected debates pre-
vented presentation of the con-
fession resolutions yesterday. In
both cases the opposition was
minor in numbers but the dis
cussions were long.
Recall 1882 Statement.
One debate saw the conven-
ton remind six of its pastors
that a Brief Statement" adopted
in 1882 adequately answers their
request for assurances as to the
synod's current position on Ger
tain questions of doctrine.
The other involved a request
that the board Of directors be
authorized to seek outside coun-
sci as to the legality of its maxi
ing loans from the synod's pen
sion funds reserve to district ex-
tension funds. Some delegates
contended such loans would in
vite local churches to increase
debts.
The two debates consumed
about three hours of convention
time although both ended in ap-
proval of floor committee recon-
mendations. Only eight negative
votes were cast on doctrinal in
depreciation. There were less
than a dozen mo" votes on the
pension fund loans.
college Site DEBATED.
The Fort Wayne college site
recommendation already had
been discussed at three conven-
ton sessions. There also was
quite a bit of oratory Thursday
when delegates voted not to act
this year on adoption of a
supplement to the 1850 common
confession which has caused
some members and pastors to
withdraw from the church.
Synodical directors provided
grounds for another anticipated
debate by informally reporting
Thursday they had recommend
ed a record $27,750,000 budget
for the next triennium and also
had asked for authority to bor-
row money for a proposed $40
million capital investment fund.
The convention Committee on
Finances was to report this aft
ernoon.
Debate Over Pope.
Yesterdays technical debate on
doctrine had lay delegates call
ing for one-syllable words. The
debate centered on the question
whether Biblical Scriptures iden-
tify the Pope in Rome as the
anti Christ.
The 1882 "Brief Statement, "
which was reaffirmed by the
synod in 1947, Identifies the Pope
as the fulf1llment of Scriptural
prophecy there would be an anti
Christ.

Get Austrian
Properly Back

VIENNA (JTA) - In a move
without precedent in the eight
years since the Allied Powers
took over control of Austria, the
Soviet occupation authorities con-
sented to release some jewish
owned property "aryanized" by
the Nazis after the 1888 An
SchluSS.
The property consists of sew
eral buildings owned by the Roth
berger family and confiScated by
the Nazis in 1888. An Austrian
court returned the title to the
property to the family but the
Soviet authorities up to now re-
fused to recognize the courts de-
cision. The Soviet position has
always been that such property
was German-oWned, therefore
subject to seizure as enemy prop
erty, despite the original owner
