Mr.. Butler had said Sunday

invite him to present any

now there is no concern about

Public Defender
lin u. 5. Courts

Congress has been asked by
Attorney General Brownell to al
low Fedral district courts to ap-
point public defenders as counsel
for persons who cannot afford
to hire lawyers.
In a letter to Vice President
Nixon yesterday Mr.. Brownell
recalled that a similar bill failed
of enactment in the 84th Con-
gresS. He urged early and favor
able action in the new Congress.
The present system of having
the court assign private attor-
neys to represent INDECENT de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Brownell wrote, is
much like the use Of the volun-
teer fire system in modern So
cietv" and is @outmoded.
1T is neither adequate nor
fair that the burden of defending
persons who are unable to afford
counsel when charged with the
commission Of crime should fall
upon a tiny percentage Of the
whole bar to be performed upon
a gratuitous catch-as-catch-can
basis" he said. This is a COM
munity responsibility, consonent
with the constitutional require
ment, to provide full-time paid
counsel, trained in the techniques
of criminal law. to represent the
poor who are charged with
crime"
The bill proposed by Mr.,
Brownell would allow Federal
district court judges to appoint
public defenders at salaries up
to $4,000 a year and either as
full time or part time officers.

Rights Foe Sees
Little Chance
To Defeat Bill
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Chances of beating a Federal
civil rights bill in Congress this
year seemed dim today to at least
one House leader in the fight
against such legislation.
Even a Senate filibuster might
fail to stop enactment of a civil
rights measure, Representative
Lanham, Democrat of Georgia,
said in circular letter to his
constituents.
I'VE will do everything pos
sible to delay and defeat that
BILL" he promised. "Our South
Iern Senators will try to talk the
bill to death in the Senate if it
passes the House. But the pro-
ponents are pushing it forward
so early in the session that it
will be difficult to kill the bill by
lfilibuster."
The House Judiciary Subcom-
mittee which held four days of
hearings last week will resume
open m lettings tomorrow for
what it hopes will be only two
days. That prospect itself
seemed dim today when addi-
tional State officials and House
members indicated they would
ask to be heard in opposition to
civil rights bills.
The subcommittee as we'll as
the full committee, both headed
by Representative Celler of New
York. was attacked in Mr.. Lam
hams letter as being stacked
against US" The subcommittee
has no members from Southern
States. The full committee of 80
members has IL members from
Southern or border States. Mr..
Lanham conceded that civil
rights bill probably will be re-
ported out by the House COM
lmittee.
The House last July passed a
bill similar to one sponsored this
year by Representative Heating,
Republican of New York. and
backed by the Eisenhower adj
ministration. Besides the Keat-
ing bill and a considerab bly,
broader measure introduced by
Mr.. Celler, more than 40 other
civil rights bills are being con-
sidered by the subcommittee.

Pay Raises Due
Stability Expected
For Next Months
By FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS

The cost Of living rose again
last month. but the rise was
only a negligible one-tenth Of l
per cent and there are indica-
tons of relative stability in the
next few months.
The Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics announced today that the
rise brought its consumer price
index to 1911 per cent Of the
l947-49 average. This was the
18th consecutive monthly rec
ord high and was 81 per cent
higher than a year ago.
A decline from August to
September of 8il0th of / per
cent in retail food prices kept
the national price index from
q stronger rise.
In the Washington area the
decline in retail food prices was
more emphatic. The drop of
Ia per cent was the first such
on any month since last March.
Prices of fresh fruits we're down
l2.l per cent and fresh vege-
tables 10 per cent. Meat prices
also were Ia per cent lower.
Pay Increases Effective
The September rise in the
national index. coupled with
the trend over earlier months,
means pay increases for almost
is million workers whose wage
contracts are tied to the cost Of
living. One million are railroad
workers who are to get a g.
cent-an-hour increase as the
result Of the living cost rise in
the last six months.
Evan Clague, Commissioner
Of the Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics. said that at least for a
few months we appear to be
back In a period of close sta
bility. characterized by slight
upward and downward move
merits" He did not look for
much Of a change in the living
cost figures for the next three
months. He also foresaw factor
in January which might send
the index for that month down.
ward.
One Decline Offset
The figures from cities across
the Nation showed that higher
prices for clothing q per cent?
for housing Is per cent? and
for other major categories OF
goods and services more than
offset the drop in food prices,
The cost OF commodities other
than food and the cost Of serv-
Ices each rose an average OF
four-tenths Of per cent for
the month.
The bureau also announced
that factory workers take
home pay in September was
80 cents a week higher than
in August and 80 cents above
a year ago. The buying power
of the pay was about three
tenths of l per cent more in
September than In August.
