16-Billion Log Jam
01 Fund Measures
Faced by Senate
fty th* Atsociotmd
The Senate struggled today to
blast loose a *16,500,000.000 log-jam
in appropriations.
The big money bills piled up in
the last-week adjournment rush
all of them are "must" measures
that cannot be ignored.
On the top of the heap is the
*41.000.000 Government corporations
bill which includes the controversial
*4.000.000 Tennessee Valley Author
ity steam plant to generate elec
| tricity.
Others include the *6,609,937,000
Army-Air Force bill, *3.812.170,250
j for the Navy, and *6,125.700,000 for
foreign aid, including the European
I Recovery Program.
Steam Plant Debated.
The TV A bill hit the Senate floor
last night with a verbal bang. Be
fore Senator Ferguson. Republican,
of Michigan, could place the bill for
mally before the Senate, an argu
ment broke out between friends and
foes of the proposed steam plant.
Senator Ferguson and Republican
Senators Th.ve of Minnesota, Rever
comb of West Virginia, and Baldwin
of Connecticut, all opposing the
plant, entered into a heated ex
change with Democratic Senators
McKellar of Tennessee. Sparkman
of Alabama and Hill of Alabama,
stout friends of TV A.
When it became obvious no agree
ment could be reached, the bill was
passed over until today. Another
verbal tilt is certain when the bill
is called up. First, however, the
Senate had to act on a long-range
farm bill which had been given top
apriority for today.
Par into last night, a Senate
appropriations subcommittee worked
on the Armv-Air Forcfe measure.
Both Secretary of the Army Royall
and Gen. Bradley. Army Chief of
Staff, pleaded with the Senators
to restore $492,000,000 cut out by
the House. This bill was due to
reach the Senate late today.
The Navy bill has had final Sen
ate committee approval and may
go to the Senate some time during
the day.
Big Appropriation Voted.
The chamber got a start toward
clearing away the appropriations
jam yesterday by passing a $641
000.000 civil functions bill and a
record $442,179,098 Interior Depart
ment bill.
The civil functions measure—a
compromise of Senate-House ver
sions—went to the White House.
Jhe Interior bill goes to a Senate
House conference, which will iron
out a $66,487,507 difference in the
bills passed by the two houses. The
Senate added that amount to the
bill previously passed by the House.
Meanwhile, bills appropriating a
total of $2,942,592,826 were signed
by President Truman.
The money will go to finance the
1949 fiscal year activities of the
Treasury Department, the Post Of
fice Department, the Labor Depart
ment. the Federal Security Agency
and the legislative establishment.
The amounts in each case and
the amounts the President had re
quested:
Legislative. $56,140,401 approved.
$61,379,520 asked; Treasury-Post Of
fice (combined), $1,996,313,425 ap

Group Studies Newell Plan
To Screen Home Sales
Clifford Newell, former president
of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso
ciations, outlined his plan to coun
teract the recent Supreme Court
covenant decision last night at the
Lincoln Park Citizens’ Association.
In a recent meeting of the Arkan
sas Avenue Association, Mr. Newell
suggested that a “block captain”
be appointed by the various associa
tions for each block in their areas.
When an owner wanted to sell he
would inform the “block captain,”
who would investigate the prospec
tive buyer. Should he be undesir
able. the “block captain" would find
another buyer.
Following Mr. Newell's talk, the
Lincoln Park group appointed a
committee lo study and recommend
action on the plan at the next
meeting in September Members
of the committee are William L.
Charles, E. S. Crown, William B.
Phftlen, W. B Powell. Wllmer M
Anderson and Albert Litkus.
John H. Connaughton, president
of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso
ciations, also addressed the meeting.
’’The meeting, conducted by Alfred
D. Calvert, president, was held at
the Epworth Methodist Church,
Thirteenth street and North Caro

Woman, Poisoned by Own Error
And Too Weak to Call Aid,, Dies
A sick woman who took bichloride
of mercury pills by mistake, then
realized her error but who lay help
less for five hours before any one
arrived to aia
her, died early
today at Provi
dence Hospital.
Mrs. Irma
Kain, 46, of 1323
Dexter terrace
S.E., was taken
| to the hospital
I Thursday eve
i ning, police said,
! when her daugh
; ter, Mrs. Mary
j V. Dorony, 26,
! stopped at her
i mother's home
: to visit her.
Mrs. Dorony
Mr». Kain.
said that when she entered her
mother's house,-she found her in
bed. T’ve taken bichloride pills by
mistake.'’ groaned Mrs Kain.
“Please take me to the hospital."
The daughter said her mother
never told her what pills she had
intended to take, but that she had
ben ill for “about a year” and
had a closet full of medicine.
The dead woman’s husband.
Louis M. Kain. 38. a waiter at the
Carlton Hotel, was in Richmond
that day, the family reported. He
did not know what had happened
until he returned late that night.
The Kain home has no tele
phone and Mrs. Dorony said her
mother was too ill and weak from
the effect of the pills to summon
help from neighbors.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald
and homicide squad officers sub
stantiated the belief that Mrs. Kain
had mistakenly taken the poison.
Mrs. Kain, a native of Cedar Hill,
Md., had lived in Washington for
about 20 years, her family said. For
several years, after moving here
from Baltimore, she was an em
ploye of the Hotel Raleigh.
In addition to her husband and
Mrs. Dorony, who lives at 114 I ave
nue, District Heights, Md., Mrs. Kain
is survived by two other daughters,
Mrs. Peyton Henderson of the Dex

High Court Broadens
Ruling Thai Prisoner
Is Entitled to Lawyer
• y Hit Associated Press
A prisoner who is incapable of de
fending himself ‘ adequately’ has an
absolute right to the help of a law
yer in any kind of criminal case, the
Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
If that help is denied, it said, a
conviction cannot stand up. The 5-4
decision made a broad extension of
the court’s previous rule that coun
sel must be provided in cases where
the death penalty might be imposed.
It came in a ruling which set
aside the conviction of Donald
Wade, then 18, who was sentenced in
Pplm Beach *Fla.) county court In
1945 to serve five years for burglary.
Counsel Plea Denied.
The court handed down a long
series of decisions as it tried hard
t.o clear its docket in time to quit
for the summer after next Monday.
Young Wade, in the Florida case,
said he asked for counsel but was
turned down under a State law
which requires a lawyer to be ap
pointed for indigent persons only in
cases in which the penalty could be
death. He said .that refusal denied
his constitutional right of due proc
ess of law.
Attorney General Tom Watson of
Florida answered that ' no question
was involved in the trial that could
not be readily understood by any
layman, 18 years of age, who pos
sessed an eighth-grade education,
and who previously had been con
victed of the same kind of crime.’’
Wade got into court on a habeas
corpus action in Federal District
Court, after State courts had re
jected such a plea.
Decision Up to Judge.
Justice Murphy in the majority
opinion said it was the Federal
judge's job to determine whether
the youth was capable of handling
his own case. He saw no error in
the finding that Wade did not have
that capacity. Such a finding could
be based on age, ignorance or men
tal capacity, Justice Murphy said,
and added:
-Where such incapacity is present,
the refusal to appoint counsel is a
denial of due process of law under
the 14th amendment."
Justice Reed wrote the dissent,
with backing from Chief Justice
Vinson and Justices Jackson and
Burton.
Thiv argued that Wade came into
Federal court by the wrong gate.
They said It violated the rule that
all State remedies must be exhausted
before such a case comes to Fed
eral court.
D. C. Legislation
♦ Continued From First Page.)_
tirement deductions from police and
fire pay is being raised from 3.5 to
5 per cent.
He said he did not object to the
bill but as chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee in
charge of District budgets, he
wanted the legislative group to know
the measure means an added cost
to the city.
Present pensions are *60 a month
for widows and *10 for each orphan
under 16. The bill raises to *125
the pension for a widow of a police
man or fireman who died in line
of duty and to *100 where the of
ficer died after retirement. Grants
for children are raised to *25 a
month.
Also approved were House bills
diregting the Commissioners to
make an investigation and report
by next January as to charges and
services in the District's parking
lots; increasing fees for the licens
ing of barbers; granting a license to
an osteopath, Samuel O. Burdette,
and a bill providing a new system
of licensing optometrists. The last
bill provoked extended debate and
is expected to be blocked when It is
called on the Senate calendar.
Kem Objects to Measure.
Senator Kem objected to the bill
charging its real objective was to
limit the field of persons allowed to
practice' optometry. At his in
sistence, the measure was amended
to strike out a declaration that op
tometry is a "profession.” He said
the purpose of this declaration was
to prevent the practice of optometry
in department stores. He sought to
amend the bill to exempt osteopaths
as well as medical doctors from the
provisions of the control bill, but
was defeated on It.
Chairman Buck commented the
bill was controversial arid would
not have any great chance of pas
sage.
The committee tabled House bil*
to ban the granting of physicians’
licenses to persons who are not citi
zens of the United States; and to
grant master tradesmen’s licenses
without examination to electricians
and others who had been in prac
tice here for five years prior to
adoption of new District license
regulations
Approval was given a House bill
authorizing the Commissioners to
determine how many police and
firemen should be assigned at the
aters, public halls, baseball games
and other sporting events for public
protection and assess the cost
| against the licensed operators at a
S rate to cover the wages of the men
1 assigned.
At the instance of Chairman
Buck, the committee unanimously
adopted a resolution expressing ap
preciation to the press for its co
operation and "accurate" reporting
of the committee's activities during
this Congress.
No money is provided for any new
, pay raise for police or firemen in the
i 1949 District supply bill sent to the
I Whit* House late yesterday by Con
gress.
! But such funds would be provid
ed in the House-passed revenue bill.
; now before the Senate, few a 2 per
cent retail sales tax and a "high
level” income tax.
Agreement has been reached
among House and Senate District
leaders that the city revenue bill
would become effective next month
only if Congress passed a general
pay raise. Without the pay raise
it would become effective July 1,
'1949.
Faces Opposition on Floor.
Meanwhile, however, the revenue
measure faces opposition on the
Senate floor from Senator John
ston, Democrat, of South Carolina.
The combination bill for a sales
tax and a high-level income tax
may come up for action again on
the Senate floor today on a call of
the calendar. Senator Cain. Repub
lican, of Washington said he would
be ready to urge its passage to
meet pay raises.
In another piece of local legisla
| tion, the Francis Scott Key home,
which already has been razed from
its site upstream of Key Bridge in
the District, would be restored near
the downstream side of the bridge,
under a Senate • approved bill
passed by the House and sent to
the White House. It would author
ize an expenditure of S65.000 but
does not appropriate such funds.
The bill to regulate liquor prices
. here remained on the House calen
dar today, after it had been blocked
for the second time by Representa
tive Crawford, Republican, of Michi
gan. The measure called up for
action by Chairman Dirksen of the
House District Committee, by; Mf.
Crawford objected. Mr. Dirksen
i then withdrew the measure and it
was kept on the calendar.
Another District bill, to authorize
Government grants to private hos
pitals here not joining in the Wash
ington Hospital Center, still is on
the House calendar awaiting action
after approval by the House Dis
trict Committee. The measure has
been opposed strongly by Repre
sentative Abernethv, Democrat, of
: Mississippi, a member of the House
jDistrict Committee.
Youth Held in 41.000 Bail

World Trade Charter
Ratification by U. S.
Is Urged by Clayton
By Newbold Noyes, Jr.
The International Trade Organi
zation should prove history’s great
est step toward order in interna
tional economic affairs and it would
be "unthinkable tragedy” if the
United States failed to ratify its
charter, former Undersecretary of
State Will L. Clayton said today.
Mr. Clayton, who headed the
American delegation in the fight to
establish the charter at Havana,
Cuba, last winter, spoke before an
"economic institute” on America
and the ITO sponsored by the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
The chamber has opposed imme
diate ratification and called tor
further study of the problem. Mr.
Clayton told the forum, meeting at
the Mayflower Hotel, that while the
charter is "far from perfect” it is
essential, and that it will be im
possible to get international agree
ment on a better one If the United
States rejects it.
Sees Others Following.
"If we ratify this instrument,” Mr.
Clayton said, "many countries will
follow us. If we fail to ratify it,
theire will be no ITO.”
The ITO, Mr. Clayton explained,
would serve America's "enlightened
self-interest” by preventing a return
to national policies which restiict
the free flow of international trade
America, he said, must Import for
all over the world to feed its pro
ductive machine, and must And
markets abroad tor its manufactured
surpluses. It can accomplish this
only through a return to multilat
eral, nondiscriminatory world trade,
Mr. Clayton added.
Failure to ratify the Havana
agreement. Mr. Clayton said, “would
be a surrender of our leadership In
world economic affairs." The result
would be chaos, with every nation
feeling it was “on its own.”
Conditional Acceptance Urged.
‘‘The United States could not long
remain an island of free enterprise
in a sea of state-controlled trade,”
he said.
Ratification of the TTO charter
also was recommended by John Ab
bink, chairman of the McGraw-Hill
International Court, a non-govern
mental adviser at the Havana Con
ference.
Mr. Abbink said the problem is
how to preserve free enterprise in
a world which largely subscribes to
state-controlled economy and urged
the conditional acceptance of the
ITO “for a trial period at least.”
Other speakers at the morning
session of the “institute” were Arch
N. 900th, manager of the United
States chamber, and Howard S.
Piquet, senior specialist in Interna
tional economics. Legislative Refer
ence Service. Moderator in the dis
cussion was Clem D. Johnston of
Roanoke, Va.
Clair Wilcox, former director of
the State Department's Office of
International Trade Policy; Arthur
Besse, president of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers;
John Lee Coulter, consulting econ
omist, and Wilbert Ward, vice pres
ident of the National City Bank of
New York, were scheduled to take
part in the debate this afternoon.
