Senator williams. Republican Of
Delaware, last week blocked ac-

on the consent calendar, because
he wanted answers to a number
of questions.
Senator Williams says he has
not taken any stand against the
bill, but asked for a delay last
week TO find out to what degree
the proposed new police-hre re-
tirement law here would be out
Of line with the laws for Gov
eminent workers generally.
Some studies have been made
showing that in some respects
the District bill provides bene-
fits not contained In laws for
the classified workers but that
in some other respects the classi-

These details are expected to be
outlined when the Senate takes
up the subject tomorrow.
Similar Bill in House
The same subject is to be con-
sidered tomorrow morning at a
meeting Of the full House Dis
Itrict Committee. It has before

The Welfare Subcommittee of
the Senate District Committee
has scheduled a hearing for ,
Tuesday at 2 pm. on two bills.
One would authorize free school
lunches for children who cannot
pay at schools where a paid

ton at a forthcoming public
hearing. The District Commits
sioners last week announced a
hearing June "a on proposed re-
vision Of other features OF the
electrical code, but not of the
controversial regulation.
Mr.. Friedman's organization
also is attacking the engineer
rule both on Capitol Hill and in
court. Several members Of Con-
gress are sponsoring bills to
quash the rule. Friday, Judge
Luther w. Youngdahl heard
preliminary arguments in the
U. s. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia on a contrac-
tors suit designed for the same
purpose. No date for q full hear
ing has been set.
Regulation Described
The disputed regulation was
instituted in February. It re-
quires the signature Of a reg
istered engineer on plans for
any electrical installation Of 200
or more ,amperes. The Districts
Department Of License and In
spections will not issue a per-
init for the installation without
such a signature.
Contractors and master cleo
tricians vigorously opposed the
requirement at a special public
hearing before the Commits
sioners last fall. The District
Society Of Professional Engineers
took an opposite stand.
Cabell Gwathmey. director Of
the licensing department, yes
terday said the intent Of the new
regulation was to draw a clear
line between the responsibilities
of licensed master electricians
and those Of registered en-
gineers.
This Qualification is necessary,
officials said. partly because OF
the Districts Professional En-
gineers Registration Act provides
for the licensing Of engineers
but leaves TO the District the
task Of defining the licensing re-
quirements.
Cost Objected 70
Mr.. Friedman said electricians
oppose the regulation because 1t
imposes an unnecessary hard
ship and expense" on them. He
said master electricians, who
also are licensed. must meet
strict requirements themselves,
and that the new rule in many
cases is forcing them to hire
an engineer when they do not
need one.
He also warned that the extra
expense is passed on TO the con-
sumer.
The attorney said the con-
tractors association plans to
fight the regulation with all the
vigor at our command" He said
that II the Commissioners decide
