mittee's recommendations which
involve a number of legislative
proposals.
Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina,
chairman Of the House group,
who is expected to be renamed
to that post, said he was ready
and willing" to take up the
school report matter at the first
meeting of the committee if that
is the desire of the Davis SUBJ
committee.
A wide difference of views on
the school report was high
lighted by comments from Dis
trict committee members.
Chairman Mcmillan said
school indignation had been ac-
complished by the ruling of the
Supreme Court and by orders
issued by President Eisenhower
He said he had no hope that the
indignation ruling could be up
set. He said he did hope that
something could be done "to
make the situation as palliative
as possible" He added: 1--WE
have to be realists in these mat
ters."
Relaxation Rule Studied
In this regard. Chairman Nc
MILAN expressed an interest in
the recommendation Of the Davis
subcommittee that there be some
relaxation in the rules as to what
schools pupils must attend.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he thought
1t doubtful that Congress would
pass any measure requiring Dis
trict schools to go back to a seq
regated racial basis. He said he
was more hopeful for legislation
to "straighten out" the problems
about school boundaries. He said
most of the complaints he had
received during the past year had
been about school boundaries.
Mr.. Davis denied there had
been any bias or slant in the
subcommittee report. as charged
by some Washington civic spokes-
men. He was commenting par
ticularly on a statement by
Gerhard P. van Arkel of the
Washington Citizens Committee
on Schools. VINO complained that
the Davis subcommittee was
biased.

"All of those who are suffering

The latest fire sprang up at

no oil fields were reported in
immediate danger.
Mr.. Bishop said the flames
broke out in his barn, destroying
the building, supply of hay and
two pigs. 1t. Perry Barker of the
Ventura County sheriff's Office
said the flames were so intense
they leaped across 300 yards of

Leaders 10 Get
Congressional
Work Preview
Presidential ToIks
Set Before GoveIs
Fall Next Thursday
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Leaders of the 85th Congress,
which convenes Thursday, will
get a preview of the work that
awaits them in conferences with
President Eisenhower tomorrow
and Tuesday.
The tense world situation is
expected to preserve a fair de-
gree of bipartisan cooperation
on basic foreign policy goals. But
the Democrats have made it clear
they may raise more questions
than in the past about the wis
dom of some administration
methods to achieve those goals
in troubled areas.
On the domestic front COM
promise will continue to be the
order of the day, as it was in
the oath Congress, in view of
the close division of the parties,
especially in the Senate.
Senator Kefauver of Tennes-
see. the recent Democratic NOM
inee for Vice President, called
last night for a "thoroughgoing
investigation" to termin e
whether Republican campaign
leaflets had any effect in en-
couraging "the Hungarian people
to premature revolt and conse-
quent slaughter"
May Show Trend
With the Hungarian refugee
problem likely to be one of the
first major issues presented to
the new Congress. the Kefauver
statement was one example of
how the division of government
between a Republican admins
tration and a Democratic Con-
gress may be reflected even in
foreign affairs.
Senator Kefauver said he had
seen for the first time recently
pamphlets distributed by. the
nationalities division of the Re-
publican National Committee
which he said "recklessly played
with the lives of these people
for political purposes"
Senator Kefauver said one OF
the pamphlets quoted President
Eisenhower as saying The
peaceful liberation of captive
peoples has been, is. and-until
success is achieved-will con-
tinue to be goal of United
States foreign policy"
/ The Tennesseean admitted
that. taken individually, the
statements in the pamphlets
might be dismissed as immora,
