with the amplifier in the car, parked on the
street outside the hotel, and fed it into the

Itook the record out and played it again.
To me, the conversation meant hardly any
thing. But il was enough to know that the
senator was ranking member of an impor-
tant Senate committee, and the scientist,
DR.. Holscher, was perhaps one of the two
or three top experts in the world on the
subject of nuclear fission. And, after all,
what their conversation meant to me was
totally beside the point. What it might
mean to an unfriendly government was
something else again.

by the Senate, would give credit

which means the bills can be
brought up on the consent calen-

was that it was too important
to be considered on the consent

was objected to because the Civil
Service Commission opposes it.
There's a chance that these
objections will be withdrawn the

Otherwise it Is almost certain
that the bills will be brought up

Bill Advances
'ToHouseFIoor

Legislation to establish in Mu-
nicipal Court a domestic relations
branch was approved by the
House District Committee today
which sent it to the House for
action next Monday.
The committee approved a re-
vision of Senate-passed bill
worked out early this month by
its Judiciary subcommittee
headed by Representative Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas. AS sent
to the floor, the measure calls
for appointment of three addi-
tional judges who could be as
signed to other work in Munich
Ipal Court if the chief judge finds
the docket in domestic relations
will not be adversely affected.
The committee also approved
two other measures, including a
bill to transfer from the Secre-
tary Of Interior to the Secretary
Iof Commerce the authority to
build the Jones Point bridge over
the Potomac River. The bridge
already is authorized by Con-
gresS.
Also approved was a measure
to permit the Associations of
Professional Hairdressers or
Cosmotologists to meet in the
District Armory. This bill pre-
Iviously had passed the Senate.
Two other measures were dis
cussed but died in committee.
One of the these would have
authorized the Commissioners to
extend daylight saving time in
line with other cities in the East
which already plan to have day
light saving up to the last Sum-
day in october. The District
Commissioners by law pro-
claimed daylight saving here to
end the last Sunday in Sep
tember..
Committee Chairman McMil-
Ian said there was no vote taken
on the daylight bill. but there
was so much argument against
Ut that it was decided not to call
lit to a vote.
A motion to report out to the
House a bill authorizing appoint
ment of District assessors from
outside the District was lost by
"a tie vote of 6 to s, with one
member abstaining. This killed

Arms for Europe
On one item-defense support
for Europe-the Senators in
creased the budget request from
$40 million to $85.5 million and
earmarked $50 million for Spain.
On defense support for the
Near East and Africa the COM
mittee also went above the budg-
ct estimate of $102.5 million. by
adding $11.2 million. In this
fund 1852 million was earmarked
for Greece.
In the case of India the Sem
ators sustained House cut of
$40 million and made another
$40 million cut. They also stipu-
lated that not more than $50
million in the entire bill may GO
to India. This means that none
of the Presidents special Asian
fund can be allocated to that
country.

partments wide latitude in car.

effort to upset the Senate APP
preparations Committees re-
striction of a large part of the

no desire to lessen the military

give its allies. But. he said. he

partment can wisely obligate

attack on the Pentagon for hur-

prevent it from going back into
the Treasury as an unexpended
balance on July /.
He pointed out that If June 20
was regarded as the beginning

/, the department would have
$1.3 billion to spend this year
even with the House cut, which
would be 5000 million more than
the President requested.
The only substantial reduc-
ton the Appropriations Senators
agreed to was in taking $50 mil
lion from the Presidents request
for a special 5000 million fund
