Nothing more was heard
from her.

fore the passengers realized
Miss de Moriere was missing.
There were no witnesses to
the accident.
In Providence, a passenger,
Gustave M. Keulemans of Bar
rington, r. l., executive vice
president of the American
Screw Co., said the leak was
detected before the plane
passed over New York.
He said the pilot, Mr.. Gould,
should have landed at New
York, or notified ground sta
tons before proceeding with
the flight, if he knew of the
leak.
The plane with AZ passen-
gers aboard was landed safely
at Bradley Field after Mr..
Gould radioed the tower that
Miss de Moriere had plunged
to the ground 1900 feet below.

according to hospital records,
Mrs. Williams arrived at the
Medical Evaluation Clinic at
1880 am.
Apparently" said the hos
pital administrator, "a medical
worker there felt the patient
should be examined imme-
diately." The worker thought
the case was an emergency and
not one for the clinic.
Ability to Pay Checked
The doctor in the emergency
room. according to the medical
director, apparently was IA
miliar with the diagnosis of
Saturday night and sent her
back without further examin-
alton. He told the director the
patient did not appear under
undue STRESS"
II cases are not considered
emergencies, the patients must
be cleared as not having enough
funds to pay for treatment,
explained the director.
Mrs. Williams was sent back
to the Medical Evaluation
Clinic. From there she was sent
to the Medical Assistance Di-
vision where her income would
be checked to make sure she
was INDECENT.
i At 4::30 pm, Mrs. Williams
left the hospital without a
clearance. She was told to seek
a private doctor until such
clearance was finished.
That night she was feeling so
bad that her husband took
her to Casualty Hospital. A
doctor gave a preliminary dag
nosis of apprehension. He rec
commended admission and a
check-up to rule out any kid
ney infection or complication
remaining from the birth of
her child three months earlier.
Returned to ID. C. General
Mrs. Williams refused ad-
mission, saying she would
rather go to D. C. General
twhere her four children were
born). She wrote on the back
of the record. II am going to
D. c. General Hospital at my
own responsibility"
Mr.. and Mrs. williams, ac-
cording to her husband, re-
turned to the emergency room
at D. C. General where she was
again, told she did not have
clearance as an INDECENT pa
tient. She went home.
AS a last resort, she called
the public health nurse who
had visited her several times
after her last baby had been
born. On September IL the
nurse examined Mrs. Williams.
Noting the high blood pressure,
the nurse suspected complica-
tons from the birth.

He thinks the idea Of being
treated by q Negro doctor is
a great big laugh because he
hates Negroes and Jews and
delights in pointing this out.
He reSists at first, but finally
takes to the couch and begins
to talk about his past and hold
onto the handrail because we
are now going to flash back
inside the flashback for a look
at the pSycho's childhood.
Here. too, Producer Kramer's
resourcefulness is clearly DEM
onstrated. He found q boy
actor to play DARN as q youth
who projects the same unen-
dearing personality.
Anyhow the reminiscing con-
tinues and the psyche revels
in telling about his sordid
childhood and his later life,
which was Just as sordid. only

to rave and rant his hatred
Of Jews and Negroes and the

who could give patience lessons

1t is easy to see what attract
ed Mr.. Kramer to this yarn.
He Is a man who prefers films
that have something to say,
movies with q point Of view.
This one permits him to repeat
some things that merit repeat
ing about the relationship be-
tween the races.
1t also gives him another OPP
portunity to point out the vile
ness and despicability Of the
hatreds that turn those with
warped minds to Naziism. You
can't argue with q thing Mr.

It may be that Mr.. Kramer's

on the other hand. he may have

Little Worry
Over Outcome

@. If the Rules Committee
issue comes to a roll-call vote,
what is your prediction as to
the outcome?
A. I have none.
@. The liberals have said
they may win by 10 votes.
A. They may. I have no pre-
diction about 1t. I have no
count on it. AS I say, it is for
me just a matter of principle.
If nobody else votes my way,
why, all right.
@. You don't seem really
very worried about the out
come?
A. No, I am not worried
about it. because I didn't get
along so bad even after they
packed the committee. But I
am just opposed to the thing
on principle. and I just can't
go along with it and can't
compromise on it.
@. Judge, there is a lot of
talk about a coalition of con-
sentative Republicans and con-
sentative Democrats, particu-
larry Southern Democrats. Is
there such a coalition?
A. No. there is not. 1t is
just individual members. I can't
speak for the Republicans, but
j can for the Democrats. I
think there are a great many
Southerners who feel that the
governmental principles in
volved In these carvings on in
Congress-especially things that
involve a constitutional ques-
tion-are more binding than the
domination of any political
party.
O.. Judge. do you feel the
parties ought to rearrange
themselves so that there is q
conservative party and a lib
eral party and not splinter
groups of each in both?
A. I just don't think it will
happen. There is no use of my
making any statement about
1t.
@. Do you wish 1t could hap
penn Do you think it would be
better for the country If it did
happen?

in your mind, is not negotiable.
Have there been any overtures
from the other side for any sort
of arrangement, or agreement?
A. No.
@. Do you expect any?
A. No. I am here all the
time. I am one member of
Congress who stays here all
the year around. Any time any
of them want to see me all
they have to do is pick UP
the telephone.
@. Would you consider pos
sible changes in committee pro-
cedure? An instance might be
the power Of the committee to
send or refuse to send bills to
conference.
A. I wouldn't want to make
any statement on that because
l VIII meet those issues when
they come UP. They have not
come up and probably won't.
@. Would you be interested
in any arrangement that would
give you some voice in the Sc
lection of people to fill the
vacancies on the Ways and
Means Committee?
A. I am not trading this for
something else. I just don't
think that is q good way to
operate, although we have to do
it sometimes. But that is one
of the things I meant when I
said it was not negotiable.

will be re-introduced this year.
If the Rules Committee were

peat that offer now?
A. don't remember. Did I
do that? I must have felt pretty
weak that morning.
@. I think you wrote a letter,
Judge. 1t was in the record at
the time.
A. I don't know what was in
the offer, and I would not make
any promises now, except that
if they try to pack this COM
mittee I am going to be OPP
posed to it. Now when it comes
to a question of dealing across

@. Isn't the Rules Commit

A. No. In every Congress
there are something like TO-
900 bills introduced. I would
say not over 10 per cent of the
bills that are introduced ever
pass the House. That wedding
process begins when the bills
are referred to a committee.
They will hold hearings on it,
they will drop it in the cooler,
or they will report it out. I
regard the Rules Committee as
the next wedding process. That
is really the nub of the con-
troversy. They say we ought
to be a traffic cop, and I re-

my people didn't send me to

@. Do you think it made
any practical difference to have

very little effect. I don't know
what it would have in the next

really injured by the increase
Of the size of the Rules Com
mittee in the last Congress?
A. I didn't say that. I don't
think very much got by that
committee that the conserva-
tives wouldn't have gone along
with. Only a very small per-
centage of all the matters that
come before the Rules Com
mittee are ever held up. Those
are the ones that all the noise
is about. You never hear about
the multitude that the COM
mittee puts out just as a mat
