While the report Is secret. it
was learned that 1t recommends
that every agency responsible
for charging for police and fire
services should conform with the
requirements of the law and
start charging. Constitution Hall
is specifically mentioned as a
place subject to charges.
Mr.. Lowe said he did not know
how the report got sidetracked
but that it will be pushed now
because both money and the
principle Of fair play are in

Constitution Hall Move
2. House District Committee
Clerk william N. Mcleod, after
a conference late last week with
Corporation Counsel Vernon
West, said Mr.. West told him
there was no reason why Con-
stitution Hall should not be
charged for police services at
commercial events and that 1t
was up to the police to report
the hall for billing.
Mr.. West said he had not made
q ruling on charging the hall be-
cause police had not asked him
for a ruling.
Informed of this comment,
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
said his officials had repeatedly
tried to find out which places
should and should not be
charged under the law.
On Friday afternoon, he put
it in writing. In a letter to
the Commissioners, he asked
that the Corporation Counsel
be directed to furnish him with
an opinion specifying which Ii
censed premises should be
charged for police services.
Chief Murray wrote that the
law providing for fees for po-
lice and fire services has been
controversial since its adoption
Beginning in June. 1852, he
said, the Police Department has
been trying to get 1t clarified but
at no time until the Internal
Audit once prepared its, report
AS he laid the No. 10 aside for
his driver, the President said to
the others in his foursome: "All

The so-called loyalty oath"
issue, which almost disrupted the
1852 Democratic National Con-
yention. was compromised in a
report adopted by special adj
visory committee of leading
Democrats yesterday.
While the compromise is re-
garded as victory by Southern
Democrats. it was accepted with
good grace by committee MEM
bers from the North and West
This action, designed to unite
ali sections of the Democratic
Party for the 1856 campaign, was
taken as $500 party leaders and
members prepared for a dinner in
the National Guard Armory in
honor of Speaker Sam Rayburn
of Texas.
The special committee. which
reported on rules for the 1856
national convention. particular
ly the loyalty oath issue, is
headed by former Democratic
National Chairman Stephen A.
Mitchell. He joined with former
Gov. Battle of Virginia and Sem
ator Humphrey of Minnesota in
drafting the report now adopted.
It assures there will be no
effort to compel delegates to
pledge themselves to support
nominees of the national con-
vention. Such an effort split
the 1852 convention wide open
Ia situation which only diplo.
matte handling by Speaker Ray
burn, permanent chairman of
the convention, was able to
smooth over.
The attempt to pledge dele
gates grew out Of the failure
of Democrats in Alabama to
place the names of President Tru-
man and Senator Barley on
their ballot in the 1948 election.
A States Rights Democratic
ticket carried that State and
three other Southern States that
year.
Three Main Proposals
Today's report will be sub
mitted to the National Com
mittee at meeting in Chicago
next September. II approved
by that committee, it will be
recommended to the 1856 ma
tional convention, which alone
has authority over its own rules.
It's main proposals follow:
l. "It is the assumption and
understanding" that, in picking
1856 nominating convention del
egates, State party organizations
would undertake ito assure"
that the national ticket would
get on the ballot of their States
under the Democratic label.
2. THAT no commitments shall
be required of delegates to the
Democratic National Convention
in the absence of credentials
contests. :"
3. That 1t is the duty of every
member Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to declare af-
firmatively for the nominees of
the convention and that his or
her failure to do so shall be
cause for the Democratic Ma
