lynchings in these United States,
some 70 years ago, the schools re-
port for the past year, 1852, shows
that not a single lynching was com

Although 1852 gave the nation
its first lynch-less year according
to the Tuskegee report, the school
noted that there seemed to be an
increase in other forms Of violence
against Negroes and reported that
one lynching of the old type was
prevented during the year.

Bipartisan Criticism
Hits Firing Rider
On Appropriations
By Robert K. Welsh

Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis in the House today chal-
lenged an appropriation bill rider
that would give the Attorney
General absolute discretion" to
fire Justice Department en-
ployes.
That was the first battle to
break out as the House began
debating a combined $1.l billion
measure to run the State, Com
merce and Justice Departments
for the fiscal year starting July /.
The bill as a whole came under
quick attack when Democrats
charged it was full Of pseudo
economy" and bookkeeping in
stead of actual savings. Repre-
sentative Rooney, New York
Democrat on the Appropriations
Committee, warned that the
United States would be "relegat-
ed to a second rate maritime
power" if Congress consents to
the committees proposal to end
new merchant ship construction
July /.
Claims 1926 Million.
Representative Clevenger, Re-
publican of Ohio, spokesman for
the committee majority, claimed
that the bill makes overall saw
ings of 1926 million, or % per
cent, under the requests sub
mitted by former President Tru-
man.
He said the State Department
proposed budget of s$102 million
represented a 80 per cent re-
duction, the Commerce Depart
ment budget Of 1851 million car
ried a Is per cent cut, and the
Justice Department budget of
$179 million was 4 per cent
under the Truman estimate.
The newly-inserted provision
permitting the Attorney General
to discharge department officials
and other employees whenever
he shall deem such termination
necessary or advisable in the in
terests of the United States"
touched off a brisk debate.
Rees Doubts Safeguards.
Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee voiced
doubt that the provision would
protect all rights of civil service
employees. Chairman Edith Nourse
Rogers of the House Veterans
Committee, said she was worried
because the provision placed no
specific safeguards around vet
erans' preference in Federal en-
ployment.
Mr.. Clevenger explained that
the rider relating to the At
torney General was added to the
bill because similar sections have
been in the State and Commerce
Departments appropriation bills
for several years and are re-
tanned in the present bill.

had confidence in Attorney Cen
eral Brownell but believed that
