agreed to inject the State liquor
store issue into hearings which
begin Wednesday.
The new tax bill was discussed
informally in closed session BY
Is members of the 25-member
District Committee. The session
was called by Mr.. Mcmillan to
acquaint members of the full
committee with details of the
commissioners bill.
All Members Invited
Chairman Mcmillan said all
members of the full committee
would be invited to attend the
joint hearings
The first witnesses Wednes-
day morning will be the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The long-pending liquor bill
sponsored by Representative
Andrews. Democrat of Alabama.
will be considered by the Joint
Senate-Ho District Subcom-
mittees on Fiscal Affairs.
Such a proposal was not in
cluded in the revenue bill for
warded to Congress yesterday
by the District Commissioners,
but Mr.. Andrews has been
pressing" for hearings on his
bill, according to Chairman
Smith of the House District
Fiscal Relations Subcommittee.
So the full committee today
agreed to invite Mr.. Andrews to
testify on the basis that the
Andrews bill involved taxes.
Cites Additional Revenue
The ALBANIAN has claimed
that State-control of the sale Of
bottled distilled spirits would
bring into the District additional
revenue somewhere between $12
million and $40 million a year.
The District Commissioners
already are on record with the
House District Com unite e
strongly objecting to the An
drews bill.
In a letter signed by Commits
sioner Spencer, the city heads
declared that they believe enact
ment of the measure "far from
being beneficial to the District
of Columbia, actually would be
of considerable detriment to the
city"
The organized distilled spirits
business on the national whole
sale and retail levels are ex-
pected to fight the Andrews bill.
The District Commissioners
contend that if the city govern
ment should supplant private
enterprise in the liquor business
as would be required by the bill,
1t would be very likely that
revenues would be decreased
rather than increased"
Statistics Cited
The Commissioners cited sta
tistics of the operation of the
liquor business in Washington to
back up this contention.
The bill would permit sale by
private wholesalers and retailers
of beer and light wines in the
District. But the Commissioners
pointed out that it was question:
able whether many dealers could
stay in business.
"The probability is" the Com
missioners predicted, that if the
bill is enacted virtually all of the
distilled spirits wholesalers and
retailers will be forced out of
business"
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat Of Virginia, said he was not
ready to make any comment for
or against the Andrews bill at
the present time. He felt hear
1ngs were necessary, however.
He recalled that the State control

Henniings Raps
Old Testimony
Al Red Probe
Seeks to Eliminate
Embarrassment of
Reformed Witnesses
By L. EDGAR PRINA

Senator Hennings today called
on counsel for the Senate In
Iternal Security Subcommittee for
IAN offer of proof" that witnesses
will give testimony of value be-
fore they are called In the public
inquiry into communism among
members of the press.
The Missouri Democrat stated
his proposals just before the sub
committee questioned two New
York Times copy editors on al
legged Communist Affiliations.
Robert Shelton, the first wit
ness, refused to say whether he
was now a member of the Com
munist Party. He spurned use Of
| the Fifth Amendment. His re-
fusal was based on the challenge
to jurisdiction of the subcom-
mittee and his rights to privacy
under the First Amendment.
Admits Joining hedS
Alden Whitman, who followed
MIR. Shelton to the stand, ad-
mitted readily that he had been
a Communist for 13 or IA years
until 1948. But he refused to
answer questions concerning
other individuals who belong to
Red cells with which he had been
associated.
Mr.. Whitman said he was not
a Communist when he joined the
Times staff In 1851. He said he
spent most of his time in New
York as a copy editor for the
Herald Tribune where he first
started work in 1943.
Senator Hennings told the sub
committee that 1--WE had some
misgiyings and doubts about

ties in the Communist Party

The Senator mentioned spe-
officially the calling of Clayton
Knowles, q New York Times re-
porter who spent seven years
lin the Washington bureau of
that newspaper before he was
transferred to New York late
| in 1854.
Senator Hennings noted that
Mr.. Knowles Communist Party
affiliation was In the year 1887
to 1899 and remarked that II
wonder what use and purpose
can be served by calling such
witnesses"
He suggested that the subcom-
mittee go into executive session
to determine whether certain
witnesses would be able to give
testimony of substantial value.
He urged that J. G. Sourwine.
the subcommittee counsel. dem
Ionstrate that such testimony
would be forthcoming before a
witness was called to take the
stand in public.
Unaware of Subpoena
Senator Hennings observed
that he did not know that Mr..
Knowles had been subpoened to
appear last Wednesday and that
the members of the subcommit-
tee had never been given a list
of any of the witnesses under
subpoena.
Chairman Eastland said he
tried to call Senator Hennings
last october after Mr.. Knowles
testified in executive session but
that the Missouri Democrats Of
fee said he could not be reached.
Senator Eastland went on to
say he believes Mr.. Knowles gave

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Guest speaker at a luncheon
club: THE plan will succeed If
we have the corporation of all
our members" 1t is surprising
how many people Of better than
average education confuse the
words cooperation and corpora
ton. A corporation, of course,
lis an incorporated concern. Co.
operation means a working or
acting together in harmony. 1t
is the word the speaker should
have used. The correct pronun-
citation is: koe-OP-er-AY-shun
Also watch the word co-opera-
tive. Not "KWOP-ruh-tiv." v" There
is some degree of sanction for
"koe-OP-ruh-tiv," as pertaining
to an economic enterprise, a
store, or such; but very little. In
best usage the word has five
distinct syllables. however ap-
piled: koe-OP-er-AY-tiv.
Famous musician (Tv): And,
as usual, I'll be accompanied by
the on-SOM." The pronuncia-
tion "on-SOM" (for ensemble) I
suppose was meant to be French.
and l have heard other broad
casters make the same error. But
"on-SOM" is as far from being
French as it is from English.
In French abe word ensemble
has the nasal sound in the first
and second syllables, and the
word ends with a soft "bluh"
vanish, thus: ah (n) -SAH (N)-
bluh. But there seems to be
little point in trying to Frenchify
a word that has been in English
for long time. 1t is true that
We have not fully Anglicized the
pronunciation to en-SEM-bl."
as we have with resemble, as
semble, etc. But the English
pronunciation has long been es-
tablished, and it is shown in all

Holy Cross, Pitt
Set Grid Date

WORCESTER, Mass.-NC) -
The scheduling of the University
of Pittsburgh in football by Holy
Cross College here in 1858 has
been viewed as another step to-
ward the establishment of a
league of independent" colleges
and universities in the East.
Talk of the formation of such
a league has been prevalent for
sometime, to prevent a freeze-out
which would leave the ''independ-
ents" without opponents as the
result of scheduling tactics by
colleges and universities which
are members of long established
leagues. Holy Cross and Pitts
burgh are considered two of the
strongest independents" in the
East.

Though opportunities for Negro

said.
Senator Rainach said that laws
just adopted and signed will
deEy to Negroes all facilities on
the Louisiana State University
campus in Baton Rouge except
for those Negroes who are already
registered. One law provides
Negro applicants must submit a
certificate signed by their former

Only a veto by the Governor
would have voided the ban on

Sugar Bowl officials, before the
bill was signed, inserted a full

sports fans and others to appeal
to the Governor to veto the bill.
The ad was signed by Paul E. De-
