Appropriations Bill { Includes $500,000 For Hospital Center A $500.000 appropriation for the District Hospital Center is included in a $991,518,551 independent offices bill awaiting action by the Senate. The bill approved by the House late yesterday, provides a cost limit of $19.500,000 for the big medical facility, an increase of $1,500,000 over the budget request. Cut from the bill was a request of $3,400,000 for the District's slum clearance program. The only item restored to the bill on the House floor was $5,000 to aid the Potomac River Basin Commis sion. The Potomac commission orig inally asked for a $10,800 Federal appropriation to aid in its work, but the Budget Bureau cut the figure to $9,000. The $5,000 figure was in serted at the request of Representa tive Gary, Democrat, of Virginia, and carried on a voice vote. FTC Fund* Cut. The only other change made in the bill on the House floor was a cut of $70,000 in Federal Trade Commission funds, made as a com mittee amendment. , Representative Wigglesworth, Republican, of Mas sachusetts, explained the cut was intended to reduce FTC payrolls. After considerable argument, the House defeated a move to reduce the President's emergency fund irom Uie Φ /υυ,ν/υυ auuwcu vj ν***» committee to $500,000, the amount voted last year. The President had asked for $1,000,000. The $991,518,551 total of the bill Is $56,280,313 under the total re quested by the administration, rep resenting a cut of about 6 per cent. The bill as passed includes these funds: Executive office of the President, $5,589,312, Including $300,000 for the Council of Economic Advisers. American Battle Monuments Commission, $1,078,500. Civil Service Commission, $243, 294,098. Federal Communications Com mission, $6,300,000. Federal Power Commission, $4, 049,550. Federal Trade Commission, $3, 408.035. Federal Works Agency, $525,863, 944. Of this total, $64,995.500 is for the Public Buildings Administration and includes the hospital center funds. The Public Roads Adminis tration would receive $459,588,854, including $70,000 for maintenance of roads and bridges in Arlington County. $33,161,000 for GAO. General Accounting Office, $33, 161,000.

Va., Feb. 5. —Holding that It is libel on the face of It to call a man a "Commie," Circuit Judge Decatur H. Rodgers ruled yesterday that further testi mony In Drew Pearson's suit against a West Virginia weekly would be re stricted to "mitigation of damages." The decision came in a suit brought by the Washington column ist against the publishers of the Jefferson Republican and its editor, R. J. Funkhouser. It was the latest In a series of opinions to the effect that it Is libellous to characterize a person falsely as a Communist or Communist sympathizer. Basis of the suit was an article referring to a lecture by Mr. Pearson at Charleston, W. Va., in 1946. In remaining sessions of the trial the defense may attempt to show that the article did Mr. Pearson no actual harm. Other cases last year resulted in comparable rulings by the Seventh Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Illinois and the New York State Court of Appeals.

M Press Held Working in Japan Under MacArthur Dispensation By Russell Brines Atiocioted Preti Foreign Correspondent TOKYO, Feb. 5.—The controversy between Gen. MacArthur and some American news correspondents over how far and when they may travel brings up two broader questions: How much authority should the Army excercise over reporters gather ing news, and what facilities should be available to the reporters? The 56 accredited correspondents of six nations now working here actually have no specific status. For practical purposes, they have most of the privileges of military person nel and the Army's civilian em ployes. This is possible, say Gen. MacArthur's aids, because of his special dispensation. This means correspondents are able to purchase articles and food at Army post exchanges and com missary, obtain transportation for limited payment, and live in houses commandeered from the Japanese and renovated at Japanese govern ment expense. Foe such houses, cor respondents pay a rental in Amer ican dollars to the United States Army. <Average, $100 monthly). Status Termed a Privilege. 1 Military officials have told cor respondents that they have no more istatus here than "a man selling a I shirt," and that their "privileges" could be taken away from them at I any time (by Gen. MacArthur's [ command). The Army organization here is an ι expansion of its usual peacetime I establishments—with, however, in i finitely more authority and direct j supervision over the American civil ians present. ine counterintelligence corps maintains a continual surveillance over all foreigners, as well as Jap anese, in key points in Japan. It is known that files are kept on cor respondents and their "reliability" la graded in these records. Antiblack market restrictions in clude a maximum allowance of 75 gallons of gasoline a month and specific limite on the value of food purchases. Several correspondents, who fell obliged to travel and en tertain more than the average resi dent here, have received warning letters that they have exceed their quotas. One carton of cigarettes may be bought each week at post exchanges. Other limits: One can of shoe polish monthly; two toilet items weekly. The Army has a blanket rule that any member of the occupation re ceiving three "delinquency reports" for rules infractions can be removed from this war theater. This blanket rule has not been applied against correspondents, but has affected some officers. Because of a multi tude of rules, most residents acquire three delinquency reports very quickly. Jobs Made Harder. Bill Costello, Far Eastern chief of CBS, and other correspondents have voiced the opinion that while these I regulations do not discriminate | against newsmen directly, "they make our job harder and mean we are working under a constant threat of expulsion."

Some old-line Army officers refuse to meet the newsmen and insist that all information must be handled through the public information of ficer. Most officials as high as headquarters section chiefs will see newsmen, however, even though re fusing to be quoted directly. And Gen. MacArthur frequently talks with individual correspondents on condition ' that he not be quoted. MacArtnur Αιvac tu wnrai. Gen.

However, even some of those who* say they are "on the blacklist" report they have met no particular difficulties in news gath ering as a result. Several correspondents say Gen. MacArthur's recent order canceling accreditation for those traveling outside this theater—and forcing them to give up houses here when they leave—was intended to prevent re-entry of some in disfavor. A headquarters' check sheet contain ing the rejection of Mr. Costello's application for 90-day round trip orders to Java had, attached to it, one of his critical articles in the New Republic. (Other rejections: Alpheus W. Jessup of McGraw-Hill Publica tions. to East Asia; Horace Bris tol, Fortune magazine, to Singa pore.) Gen. MacArthur's aides said this travel order ruling merely extended to Oriental trips the rules about housing and «accreditation which generally applied to every one on trips to the United States. Pre viously, they said, correspondents had been receiving special consid eration ' lor orientai trips. Three Points Involved. These sources said three points were .involved in the ruling : 1. MacArthur has "no authority" to issue orders for travel outside his theater, which includes Japan, Korea, the Marianas, the Ryukyus and the Philippines. (It also in cludes China in event of emergen cies there.) 2. Gen. MacArthur did not feel free to leave correspondents' houses empty in their absence, with hun dreds of occupation dependents waiting in America for homes in Japan. 3. He did not want to throw Japan open to correspondents 'attracted by better conditions," whose jobs oblige them to spend considerable time in other Oriental countries. Whatever his reasons, the Army Department in Washington has overruled him, in part. It has de cided that correspondents who leave American occupation zones to cover special assignments may re tain houses and get back in without having to be reaccredited. This ap plies, however, only to newsmen who are not away more than 30 days in any six-month period. me Army Department ruling followed action by Senator Know land, Republican, of California. He had placed in the Congressional Record a Newsweek protest against Gen. MacArthur's refusal to readmit Mr. Pakenham. Newsweek called that "a very grave infringement on the rights of the press."

"There is nothing wrong with the American economy, or with the sit uation in Europe that cannot be remedied and saved by American production," he said. Decries Cuts in Marshall Plan. Instead of talking about pos sible cuts in the $6,800,000,000 start ing cost of the Marshall Plan, Mr. Reuther said, Congress should think over whether it should be in creased to make sure the plan will work. He said the old saying which goes "now is the time for all good men to +a fV»a nf the nort.v" chftiilri be shortened to read: "Now Is the time for all good men to come to." Mr. Reuther gave his views to the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee as It neared the end of public hearings on the European Recovery Program Ball Predicts Reduction A few hours earlier, Senator Ball, Republican of Minnesota predicted the starting cost will be cut and that the $1,750,000,000 portion intended for Britain will be attacked sharply. He said many people are wonder ing whether the recovery program for 16 Western European nations "is not primarily a new British loan dressed up in fancy trimmings." Mr. Reuther said the United States-must step up its production of steel, oil, power, electrical equip ment, coal, building materials, rail road equipment and food. All of these, he contended, have been affected by "a master pattern of privately planed scarcity-for profit."

Final Draft Under Way On Armory Control Bill After Conference A final draft of a bill setting up a three-man board to control the National Guard Armory was being prepared by the Corporation Coun sel's office today following minor changes made last night at a con ference between District authorities and members of Congress. The armory, built and maintained by the District for the National Guard, has been the center of a squabble over the control of the building and the revenue obtained from its rental for nonmilitary uses. The final agreement came yes terday, based on the original pro posal of Joseph C. McGarraghy, former president of the Board of Trade, that a special board be set up to control the armory. At last night's meeting, minor changes were incorporated, Mr. McGarraghy said, but nothing of a major nature. As it stands, the compromise plan being put into a bill called for a three-man board which would be empowered to hire a manager who would be responsible for the day-to day running of the Armory. The manager could deal with nonmili tary organizations desiring to use the Armory and could sign contracts on behalf of the board. Proceeds from rental of the drill hall for non military uses would go to the Dis trict, while the Guard unit would collèct from soft drink or other con cession-. The board could fix rental fees, but would be required to give preferential rates to schools as well as to the Federal and District gov ernments. Among those present at the con ference were Representatives O'Hara, Republican, of Minnesota; Aber nethy, Democrat, of Mississippi; Harris, Democrat, of Arkansas; Mc Mahon, Republican, of New York; Commissioner Guy Mason, Mr. Mc Garraghy and Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, commander of the district Na tionai ciuara. Clay Says Allies Will Face 'Spirit of Revenge' in Reich By the Associated Press PARIS, Feb. 5.—The Allies will have to be alert against a spirit of revenge that will probably break out in Germany when that nation gets back on its feet economically, Gen. Lucius D. Clay said yesterday. Despite this warning, the com mander of the American occupation zone told an Anglo-American Press Association luncheon, he thought Nazism was "forever dead" in Ger many. If there are troubles, he said, they will spring from "nationalism, not Naziism." Gen. Clay said he believed Nazism is dead because it had failed militarily. He minimized reports of under ground activity in occupied Ger many but added: "I'd be foolish if I said democracy had taken root in Germany." Asked how long the occupation would last, Gen Clay said: "Maybe 15 years, maybe 25. The Federal Spotlight 250,000 U. S. Workers Face 4-Day Loss in Annual Leave = j By Joseph Young Congress soon will act to 1< of more than 250,000 Governmer The employes involved ar< temporary basis during the war workers get 30 days of annual more than the regular 26 days of vacation given to all other Govern ment employes. This results in a situation which I1I1U8 UIB VJUV ernment ' giving preferential treatment in va cation benefits "to workers who neyer even had to take an ex amination to get their jobs. Apparently an gered at this sit uation, the Sen ate Civil Service Committee is drafting a bill to cut down the leave οι ι ne se '"«»« employes to 26 days—the same as for all other Government workers. A.nd It Is a pretty good bet that Con gress is in the mood to approve the legislation speedily. What prompted these employes to be given more vacation time- than permanent status or even war-serv ice workers? Well, the explanatien offered us by Government officials is that temporary status people are hired for only six months or orîe year and that it was felt they should be given a little extra consideration because of the brevity of their em ployment. But many temporary status peo ple have been on the payroll for two and three years and still haven't been dropped. They also get 15 days in sick leave benefits, the same as other Government workers. What makes the situation ex tremely ironic is that temporary employes get twice as much annual leave as the hard-working group of postal .employes, who are entitled to only 15 days a year. And postal groups lag behind temporary em ployes in the matter of sick leave. Postal workers get only 10 days a year. * * * * JARGON—The fact that Govern ment employes have a jargon all their own is illustrated in the story told by a prominent civil service Commission official. Recently the official was called by ι friend—an attorney who is a nember of one of the city's most iistinguished law firms. The attorney explained his firm vas representing a Government girl η some private litigation and that le questioned her briefly on her background in the Government. "She told me that during her em ployment in the Government she's iad two Ramspecks," the attorney ;aid uneasily. "I didn't like to ques ,ion her about it, but what in the ievil did she mean?" While the official roared with aughter, the attorney asked: "Do rou think our firm should represent 1er?" The Civil Service man regained lis composure and patiently ex ιρ off four days of annual leave t employes. ι those who were hired on a and afterward. These temporary, eave a year—which is four days plained to his friend that "having two Ramspecks" meant the girl had had two within-grade promotions in her job. The Ramspeck tag re- ; fers to the fact that the legislation ! permitting these automatic promo-1 tions was sponsored by Robert ! Ramspeck, then chairman of the | House Civil Service Committee. "Oh," said the attorney, vastly re·*; lieved. "Why didnt she tell me that iji the first place." * * * «■ PINK SLIPS—Thirty-day dismis sal notices have been handed out to 42 employes of the Commerce De partment's Office of Materials Dis tribution.

Several weeks have gone . by, and the workers In the L to Ζ group still are waiting for their back wages. Navy officials say they hope to pay ( off the employes soon, but no one , we talked to had any logical reason , for the delay.
