for an educational program at the
home late this summer. But he
added that It would depend on
whether the department gets enough
money in its 1949 appropriation. j
Under the plan, he said, all bur
non-delinquent children under 1J
years would be moved from the j
overcrowded home on Little Falls
road N.W. as soon as the new home'

aummer. It will be located on Mount ’

not to give too much money to a
dapartmant, urged approval of the
M-group Air Force plan.
He aaid the joint Chiefs of Buff

“fiscal and economtc considerations.”

'Liberal' Rally Hears

Beat Red Control Bill
Representatives of approximately
4$ "liberal” organizations met today!
at the Willard Hotel, Invited by 10:
members of Congress to discuss
methods of defeating legislation, re

mittee on Un-American Activities,1
to control Communists.
They heard speeches against the
legislation as described in the House >
committee's report and received a
promise from the legislators that,
they would be kept Informed of
developments.
The measure would require regis
tration of Communists and their
front organizations, and establish

emment or by any means to sub
vert it to a Communist power
abroad.
Marcantonio Calls It Fascism.
The group applauded as Repre
sentative Marcantonio. American

proposed bill "an attempt to legis
late fascism."
Mr. Marcantonio, who said the
House committee wanted "to put the
Bill of Rights on the shelf,” spear
headed the attack on the legislative
proposal, backed by a battery of
congressional colleagues.
“There is no such thing as com
munism when people are happy,”
said Representative Sadowskl, Dem
ocrat, of Michigan who added he
was a Catholic rather than a Com
munist but would Join with “any
body and everybody" to fight the
House committee.
Representative Isacson, American
Labor Party, of New York said the
proposed legislation was “aimed at
all opposition to the policies of the
present administration.” Like Mr.
Marcantonio, he asserted it would
make illegal all divergencies from
the administration's foreign policy.
Klein States Oppeeitten.
Representative Klein, Democrat,
of New York said he wanted It
understood that "not all of ua at
this table think alike.” But, he
said, he was united with the others
in opposition to the House commit
tee’s proposals.
nc^icaciiukuw numiBiu, uvuiU"
crat, of California said ho had not
read the report on the proposed bill,
but added: "I cannot conceive of
any good bill eomlng out of this
committee.”
Among those attending the meet
ing in the Willard's cabinet room
were Dr. Sdward K. Barsky, chair
man of the Joint Anti-Fascist Reg
ugee Committee, who was convicted
in District Court last year of con
tempt of the House committee and
still is in the process of appealing
his case, and Mrs. Carol King, a
lawyer, who unsuccessfully defended
Gerhard Eisler, reputed No. 1 Krem
lin agent here, against a similar
charge.

Abdullah's Leadership
Frightens Syria Chiefs
i ly tK# Associated Press
| DAMASCUS, Syria, April J7.—
! King Abdullah’s leadership in the
Arab fight against Palestine Jewry
5 has caused political jitters among
Syrian officials.
They consider the Trans-Jordan
monarch's move as the first step
toward putting in effect his "Great-!
er Syria scheme’’ to merge Syria,
Lebanon, Palestine and Trans-Jor
dan.
"Abdullah will proclaim himself
king of the Arab part of Palestine,”j
a cabinet minister said today. "Then.5
with the aid of his nephew, Abdul
nah (regent of Iraq*, and Britain5
he will attempt to establish a5
Hashimite kingdom over all the
Middle East."
(Abdullah’s land is termed "the
Hashimite kingdom of Trans
jordan." Abdullah said yester
day he planned to take personal
command of the armies of Trans
Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and
move Into Palestine by Satur
day.)
Another Syrian minister, who
sparked this nation’s lead in the
volunteer fight in Palestine, com
mented:
“The Hashimite* have handed us
over to Britain. I am seriously eon
sidering casting my lot with the
Communists. I prefer ehoosing my
master If we'must be enslaved." ,
Spain Replies to U. 5.
On Insult to Truman
By tK« AnociatMl Prwi
MADRID. April 37.—Paul Culbert
son. American Charfe d'Affaires,
today received a Spanish govern
ment reply to an American note pro
testing an article in several Palanga
Party newspapers ridiculing Presi
dent Truman.
The contents of the reply were
not made public. It is understood,
however, that it says the Spanish
press is free and that the article did
not have government approval. All
publications in Spain are subject to
government censorship.
In his protest note of April 14,
Mr. Culbertson said the official posi
tion of the totalitarian Palanga
Party in the government of Gen
eralissimo Franco was the basis for
assuming that th% article had gov
ernment approval.
The article, published in Cordoba
April I, said in part:
“It is clear and obvious that Mr.
Truman does not enjoy much popu
larity among his compatriots. What
Is true is that a President of a re
public can die any day and then
these things happen which convert
a failure as a shirt salesman into a
sort of navel of the world."
