Republican Leaders'
I Broadcasts Assail
Truman's Program
By the Associated Pr#»*
Republican leaders launched a
heavy air attack last night against
President Truman's special session
program, calling it unnecessary, ob
viously political and possibly
dangerous.
GOP chieftains rushed for radio
microphones to assail the Presi
dent’s action in calling Congress
back to Washington and to explain
why they probably wpn’t do much
about his anti-inflaticm and housing
proposals.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee: Senator Wherry of Ne
braska. acting majority leader;
House Majority Leader Halleck, and
Representatives Dirksen of Illinois
and Keefe of Wisconsin all took
their turns at the ether barrage last
night.
House Speaker Martin and a GOP
Senator to be named later are due
to step up to the microphones at
10:30 o'clock tomorrow night over
ABU.
Senator Taft set the tone for the
Republican attack when he said
angrily: ‘‘We would be fully justified
in adjourning at once.”
Taft Bars “Police State” Measures.
But he added that since the Dem
ocrats apparently don’t intend to
use the power they already have to
heck Inflation, Congress will stick
around for two weeks to see what
it. can do. One thing it won't do, he
said, is approve price control, ra
tioning or other steps he called
' police state” measures.
‘'An administration which has
been in power for 16 years cannot
escape the results of its own ac
tions,” Taft declared. “It has the
power to check inflation—we may
grant additional powers—but the
only real recourse of the people
against inflation is at the election.”
He argued that controls will not
work in times of peace, that they
“choke production instead of in
creasing it,” and that "nobody
knows enough to do the job of con
trol as well as it is done by natural
economic law.”
Taking up the cudgel from the
CJhioan, Senator Wherry referred
repeatedly to “Candidate Truman,”
who, he said, “is floundering in the
quicksands of a ruined political for
tune.”.
Congress was ready to handle
emergency legislation, Senator
Wherry said, but the President
didn't ask for any.
Truman Called Defeatist.
“It is appalling,” he snapped,
“that on foreign policy the Presi
dent was absolutely silent and not
once did he mention the threat of
communism at home.” Turning to
inflation, the Nebraska Senator de
clared :
“The only solution the President
offers is controls, controls and more
controls, and regimentation of the
people.
“The President has a defeatist at
titude. He has lost faith in the free
enterprise system and the ability
of the American people to produce
and distribute their goods.”
The House Republicans also
blasted away at the President's
proposals for controlling inflation.
"We are not going to destroy pro
duction instead of increasing pro
duction and otherwise jeopardize
our solid and sound progress by
sacrificing the true national inter
ests on the altar of political ex
pediency,” Mr. Halleck said.
"The American people and this
Congress are willing to work and
sacrifice for any real emergency.
But a political emergency is an en
tirely different thing.”
Keefe and Kefauver Speak.
Mr. Keefe, appearing in a radio
discussion with Representative Ke
fauver, Democrat, of Tennessee,
‘said tighter money controls, not
price controls, are needed to hold
down living costs. "The causes of
this inflation,” he added, "are found
in an excess money supply and too
much bank credit.”
Mr. Kefauver said he favors price
ceilings only as a last resort and
suggested that an anti-monopoly
program should be tried first.
Mr Dirksen, on still another
broadcast, said Mr. Truman "rec
ommended more expenditure and
more credit, which is like trying to
put out the fire by throwing gaso
line on it.”
The Illinois Representative also
loosed a blast at the President’s re
quest for public housing legislation.
Private enterprise, Mr. Dirksen
said, “can lick this housing prob
lem better, faster and cheaper than
any Government agency if it has a
ehance." Mr. Truman's program,
he said, "would not mean more
housing, but more expensive hous
ing ."
He said private builders are closf
to a production rate of 1,000,000
homes a year. On the other hand,
be claimed, the “grandiose” Gov
ernment housing program drafted by
Wilson Wyatt “just folded up from
Sheer inertia.”
London Pastor Burns
Book on Canon Law
By the Associated Press
LONDON. July 29.—The Rev.
Robert Hood stood in front of his
London church last night and
touched a match to a book. There
by he called attention to a dispute
over religious statutes in Great
Britain.
The volume Mr. Hood burned in
front of St. Stephen's of Lambeth
was the “Canon Law of the
Church of England." The book is
a proposed revision, worked out by
the Westminster and York divisions
of the church, of 84 canon laws
which have been in effect with al
most no changes since 1604.
Mr. Hood condemned the changes
as a mass of errors. As he scratched
the match, he said to a crowd ol
500:
"I am ready witn an laiiniui
diligence to banish and drive away
all erroneous and strange doctrines
contrary to God’s word. I there
fore consign to the flames this book
•The Canon Laws of the Church
of England,’ as it contains an erro
neous and strange doctrine con
trary to God’s word.”
Among Mr. Hood's objections tc
♦he proposed revisions is his belie)
that they will reduce the King's
authority in church affairs.. He alsc
fears an effort is being made tc
'create a “priestly caste.”

Woman Hurt Running to See
Plane That Hit Her Home
By th« Associated Press
GREENSBURG, Pa., July 29—
Mrs. Linda Caroline, 65, is hospital
ized today because of an under
standable curiosity.
When an airplane struck Mrs.
Caroline's home yesterday, she
wasn’t hurt a bit. A few moments
later, however, she tripped while
running out to see what had hap
pened.
Mrs. Caroline was taken to a hos-^
pital with possible rib fractures.
The plane pilot, Atlas Greenfield,
47, Evansville, Ind., was taken to
the same hospital with cuts and
bruises.
Neighbors said the plane first
struck some utility poles, then car
omed into Mrs. Caroline's rooftop.
Mr. Greenfield said he was making
a refueling stop and tried to gun
his craft into the air after overshoot
ing the runway.

Labor Studies Ruling
Backing Ban on Union
Political Spending
By James Y. Newton
Organized labor, planning a
major role in the national elec
tions, was examining carefully
today the decision of a Federal
judge upholding the Taft-Hart
ley Act ban on direct political
expenditures by labor unions.
In the ruling yesterday, Justice C.
Hincks of the District Court at
Hartford, Conn., refused to dismiss
indictments against a local of the
AFL Brotherhood of Painters and
its president.
“In the light of the legislative
history of the act, in silhouette
against the contemporary back
ground,” Justice Hincks stated, “I
hold, first, that the act iTaft-Hart
leyi was well within the limits of
Federal legislative power and, sec
ond, that it was not invalidated by
its incidental, effect in restraint
upon the freedoms protected by the
first amendment (freedom of speech
and pressi.”
The decision apparently turned
on the point that the painters’
local used funds from its own treas
ury for political purposes. ,
The first opinion among labor
leaders here was that the Hartford
ruling would not greatly affect the
political efforts of labor. The CIO,
AFL, railroad brotherhoods and
others all have political organiza
tions set up for participation in -the
campaigns. It was pointed out that
these political arms are supported
by voluntary contributions of in
dividual union members rather than
by funds directly from the treas
uries.
In a case involving the CIO and
its president, Philip Murray, the
Supreme Court ruletf unanimously
last month that the Taft-Hartley
Act does not keep publications
financed either by unions or man
agement funds from taking part in
politics.
Case Involved House Rac4.
That case involved the indorse
ment by Mr. Murray in the CIO
News of the candidacy for the House
of Judge Edward Garmatz of Bal
timore. The high court agreed that
if the law did ban such publication
of union or management political
views, there would be grave doubt as
to its constitutionality.
But the court said there was no
need to decide the overall constitu
tional issue now since the CIO did
not violate the act by indorsing a
congressional candidate in its of
ficial newspaper.
The Hartford case was different.
In it the painters’ local and its
president, John R. O’Brien, had
sought'dismissal of the indictments
on the grounds that the particular
section of the Taft-Hartley Act vio
lated the guarantees of free speech
and free press in the first amend
ment.
They were indicted last March
after they had openly challenged
the law by spending union treasury
funds for a political advertisement
in a Hartford newspaper and to buy
radio time for a political broadcast.
The funds were not contributed vol
untarily for the purpose by mem
bers of the union.
Directed Against Taft.
Both the advertisement and the
broadcast were directed against the
presidential aspirations of Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio; one of
the authors of the Taft-Hartley
law’, and called for the defeat of
Connecticut members of Congress
who voted for it,
Judge Hincks held that the case
differed from that of the CIO and
Mr. Murray.
The CIO case, Judge Hincks
pointed out, involved "only expendi
tures by a union to meet the costs
of publishing an issue of a weekly
union periodical containing expres
sions of political advocacy and
opinion in connection with a con
gressional election and distributing
the same * *
In the Hartford case, the judge
said, “union monies were expended
for publication of expressions of
political advocacy Intended to affect
the result of the election and the
action of the convention in an estab
lished newspaper of general circula
tion and for a broadcast by a com
mercial radio station * *
Appeal Expected.
“The congressional history of the
act,” Judge Hincks said, “makes it
abundantly plain that the expend
itures upon which this prosecution
is based were of that very kind which
Congress intended to forbid.”
United States Attorney Adrian W.
Maher said he expected that Mr.
O’Brien and the local would appeal
within the next two weeks.
Violation of the political spending
ban carries a penalty of $1,000 fine
or one year imprisonment or both
for an individual. The maximum
penalty for an organization s a
$5,000 fine.
The union had announced that it
hoped to carry the case to the Su
preme Court, but persons familiar
with court procedure said it was
doubtful that a final test could be
made before the elections.

Rent Control Administrator’s office
' said yesterday.
The requests were’ for one room
and bath apartments to be in
creased from *32.50 to *37.38; two
rooms, kitchen and bath, from $35
to $40.25, and four rooms, kitchen
and bath, from *85 to *97.75.

Investment Properties, Inc., in
cludes 197 units.
Rent control examiners have rec
ommended rent increases for three
other apartments on whiCh recent
hearings were held.
Raise on 99 K Street Units.
Examiner William F. Mansfield
recommended a 7.52 per cent raise
in rents for 99 units at 2515 K
street N.W., bringing two-room
and-bath apartments up from $38
to $41 a month and three-room
and-bath apartments from *77.50 to
*83.25.
Origrnally the operator, B. F. Saul.
Inc., had asked an over-all raise of
11.58 per cent.
Increases amounting to 7.01 per
cent were recommended by Exam
iner Dennis K. Lane for 131 units
at 900 Nineteenth street N.W. The
raise calls for $35 one-room-and
bath units to go up to $37.45 and
$100 five-room-and-bath apartments
to go to $107.
A 10.06 per cent increase was re
quested by the Cornwell Invest
ment Co t
Majestic Wins Increase.
Increase of rents by 9.1 per cent
was recommended for the Majestic
Apartments, including 130 units, at
3200 Sixteenth street N.W.
The ruling would raise the rents
of two-room and bath units from
$49.50 to $54, and four-room and
bath apartments from $125 to $135.
During hearings, Morris Cafritz, Inc.,
operators, had asked an overall
boost of 9.7 per cent.
Tenants of the three apartments
have 10 days in which to file pro
tests against the decisions.
Many tenants attended the open
ing of public hearings before Mr.
Lane yesterday on a petition for a
17 per cent increase in rentals at
Good Hope Hills, 100-building hous
ing project with 413 units in south
east Washington. t
Long Delay Expected
In Alien Deportation
A long delay is expected in de
porting hundreds of aliens until the
United States Court of Appeals
hands down a decision as to whether
the Administrative Procedure Act
applies to deportation hearings.
A decision of the appellate court
is awaited, following conflicting
decisions by District Court judges..
If the Court of Appeals should
rule the act is applicable, it would
mean persons must be given hear
ings by examiners appointed es
pecially for that purpose by the
Civil Service Commission. It would
exclude such hearings being held by
the Immigration Bureau.
Justice Alexander Holtzoff of Dis
trict Court yesterday ruled the act
does not apply in deportation pro
ceedings. His ruling was made in
dismissing a habeas corpus action in
the case of Wong Yaffig Sung, a
Chinese of the 600 block of Penn
sylvania avenue S.E.
Mr. Sung, a citizen of China,
brought the action, contending the
act is applicable in his case and
that he has not been given a hear
ing under it.
A short time ago, Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough of District Court
ruled irt another case that the Ad
ministrative Procedure Act does ap
ply in deportation hearings.

HOT ISSUE—The Republicans
are all set to make the Govern
ment's loyalty investigation program
a major campaign issue.- Top GOP
leaders have expressed their pleas
ure to Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee regarding
his charge that the program has
been a failure. -
From now until next November,
Republican orators win hammer
away at the theme that no Federal
employe has been fired for dis
loyalty since the President’s $12,
000,000 loyalty program got under
way a year ago.
The report that Mr. Rees will
make a House speech divulging" the
names of all "disloyal” Government
employes is as phony as a three
dollar bill, however. What Mr.
Rees will do is cite a few sample
cases that have come to his at-,
tention, involving employes of du
bious loyalty.
Mr. Rees, has no definite knowl
edge of other "disloyalty” cases—
that’s what he is complaining about.
He wants to see the files on the
loyalty cases now before the vari
ous Federal agencies, but this re
quest has been denied.
This refusal was based on Presi
dent Truman’s or<jer not to turn
over any confidential loyalty in
formation to Congress. Further
more. Federal loyalty officials say
the bulk of the cases are now
ing processed, and therefore deny
that no action is being taken to
combat1 any possible disloyalty in
the Government.
* * * *
OPPOSITION—A number of Gov
ernment workers’ unions are all set
to- oppose any move to name Lt.
Gen. Willard Paul, chief of the per
sonnel and administration of the
Army General Staff, as the new
Civil Service commissioner.
It isn’t that they have anything
personally against Gen. Paul, who
is recognized as a very able admin
istrator. But they just don’t tHink
it’s wise to have a military man in
wh^t has always been a civilian job.
Gen. Paul has been mentioned as a
definite possibility for the job.
One of the current difficulties 1n
the Federal service today is the
somewhat strained relationship be
tween the military arid cl^jlian per
sonnel in the various military agen
cies. Government unions have been
charging that military personnel
often were being used in what
should be civilian Jobs, thereby dis
placing civilians. And other friction
has developed during the years.
That's why they don’t want to
see a military man on the Civil
Service Commission. The Civil
Service Commission post will open
up when Commissioner Arthur S
Flemming resigns at the end of
next month.
What many officials would like
to see is the appointment of men
who know civilian personnel mat
ters thoroughly—men like Henry F
Hubbard, vice chairman of the Fed
eral Personnel Council, or La\wpn
Moyer, executive director of the
Civil Service Commission.
At any rate, any move by the
White House to appoint Gen. Paul
is certain to stir up a wave of dis
approval and opposition.
GROWING—The new CIO Gov
ernment Workers’ Union reports it
has added six additional locals tc
its organization.
The new union was set up last
month by former members of the
CIO United Public Workers oi
America, who were dissatisfied with
UPWA’s left-wing policies.
In a statement, William Miren
goff, national co-chairman of the
GWU, declared:
“In the Jew weeks since its
launching, GWU has proved that
it can grow into a powerful force
for the betterment of the eco
nomic condition of the Govern
ment employe. Our membership
now includes several thousand Fed
eral, State and municipal employes,
spread over seven States and the
District of Columbia. This, how
ever. is just the beginning. . .
GWU is laying the foundation of
a mass organizing drive, here in
Washington and elsewhere, which
will follow in the tradition of the
great CIO campaigns in steel, autos
and other basic industries.'1
* * * *
CRUEL—Despite the new White
House directive permitting nonair
conditioned Federal agencies to dis
miss employes on extra hot days, a
number of Government offices have
kept its employes on the job in al
most unbearable heat.
Apparently some Government of
ficials feel the temperature must
hit a record 120 degrees before they
can dismiss their employes. Their
heartless attitude is directly con
trary to the White House s recom
mendation.
