House Indorses
Plan to Extend
Front of Capitol
Action Interpreted
As Advancing Move
To Enlarge Building
Extension and completion of
the east central front of the
Capitol has been proposed by
the House.
Adopting a resolution to this
effect by voice vote yesterday,
the House recommended that the
Architect of the Capitol be
authorized to take steps to ex
tend the original central part of
the building by about 40 feet.
The legislation was proposed
by the House Administration
Committee in the form of a
simple House resolution, which
requires no action by the Senate
nor signature by the President.
It carries only the recommenda
tion of the House and lays no
responsibility on the Architect
of the Capitol to act.
But the vote, believed to be
the first of its kind in the House,
was interpreted as a forecast of
further legislation to enlarge the
structure, complete its archi
tectural design and provide more
working space for Congress.
Senate Acted Earlier
The Senate previously had
passed legislation to authorize
the project, but the House had
never acted favorably until yes
terday.
For years, attempts had been
made to get Congress to approve
extension of the central front of
the Capitol to bring it into better
architectural balance with the
huge' dome, which appears to
overhang the east front. De
mands for more office and* res
taurant space repeatedly have
been voiced on the floors of each
chamber and before committees.
The movement which resulted
in passage of the House resolu
tion yesterday began with an in
vestigation of complaints about
inadequate service of restaurant
facilities in the Capitol.
The House Administration
Committee appointed a subcom
mittee headed by Representative
LeSinski. Democrat, of Michigan,
to investigate.
Lack of sufficient space was
the principal cause of the inade
quate service, the subcommittee
found. The full committee, in
closed session, drafted two reso
lutions, reported them favorably
to the House floor for the first
time late yesterday and both
passed by voice vote.
Move Recommended
One recommended transfer of
a woman's beauty parlor from
the ground floor of the new House
Office Building to a place in the
old House Office Building to en
large the space available in the
new building’s cafeteria. This
would be subject to action later
by the House Office Building
Commission, headed by House
Speaker Rayburn.
The second, and more far
reaching resolution, recom
mended action by Architect of
the Capitol J. George Stewart to
complete the east central front
of the Capitol. This would be
based on legislation passed by
the Senate in 1937 and also on a
chart prepared by a former
Architect of the Capitol to a
House Appropriations subcom
mittee in the 83d Congress. The
proposal often has been discussed
but no conclusive action ever has
been taken.
This chart estimates the cost
of the project at $7.5 million,
with two years required for con
struction after plans are com
pleted.
The design would be identical
with that of the present build
ing but would extend the east
front by 40 feet, providing much
more space for Congress in hear
ing room, offices and a restaurant

Halt Guessing Game
In Matsu, Meany Urges
BY FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS
President George Meany of
the American Federation of La
bor demanded today that the
Government “stop beating about
the bush of the Quemoy and ]
Matsu issue.”
Addressing a luncheon meet
ing of the American Society of :
Newspaper Editors at the Hotel i
Statler, he called for “full frank
ness of the American people and
our allies.”
He said labor also advises the
Government “not to be in any
great hurry to acclaim the treaty
offered by Moscow to Austria as
proof of a basic change in So
viet policy.”
On Quemoy and Matsu, he
said:
“If our military leaders think
these islands are expendable and
their loss will have no danger-
D. C. Spending
Probe Is Asked
Remedy Sought for
Financial Plight
A resolution that would au- i
thorize a study of city govern- :
ment expenditures here was pro
posed yesterday by Chairman
McMillan of the House District
Committee.
The measure which was Aimed
over to the House Rules Com- ]
mittee today for consideration, I
calls for a sweeping inquiry of I
District spending policies, but !
would focus particularly on law
enforcement agencies.
The resolution specified the
Metropolitan Police, Park Po
lice, Traffic Department and
Corporation Counsel’s Office.
Mr. McMillan explained that
these would be the first targets
of the study.
The local government's reor
ganization program also may be
scrutinized, the chairman said.
He pointed out that while reor
ganization was designed to save
money he has received com
plaints that the reshuffle of
agencies is “costing more than it
is saving.”
Accent on Fiscal Plight
One of (he chief reasons for
an inquiry on how the taxpayers’
money is being spent is to gather
sufficient facts bearing on pos
sible remedies for the District’s
financial traits, Mr. McMillan
explained.
“I am being called every day
on the telephone by people ob
jecting to paying any increased
taxes," he said.
“We want to find out hoW the
money is being spent now before
we face problems of deciding
whether any new taxes should be
laid on the District taxpayers,”
he added. “Before we could
conscientiously go to the House
to ask for more taxes, we want t 6
get some facts in hand.
In another resolution intro- j
duced by Mr. McMillan, and also
pending before the rules body, a
study would be made of the Dis
trict Receiving Home which has
been overcrowded for years.
Means for Improvement
The purpose of this inquiry is
to determine what steps Con
gress might take to Improve con
ditions at the welfare lnstitu- i
tion on Mornt Olivet road N.E.
City officials already have asked
for necessary changes in an ex
isting appropriation to permit
limited expansion of the building
and for construction of maxi
mum security facilities at the
Children’s Center, Laurel, to take
some of the load off the Mount
Olivet road institution.
Both resolutions must clear
the Rules Committee and be ap
proved by the House before the
District Committee could go to
work on the studies.

ous consequences for our ally—
the strongest ally we have in
Asia—and for our country and
the comon cause, then let our
Government leaders frankly say
so and put an end to the un
certainty as to the future of
these islands.
“But if, in the best judgment
of our military experts, these is
lands are strategically vital to
the security and freedom of our
Nation—without which there can
be no freedom or security for
any free nation anywhere in the
world today—then let our politi
cal leaders have the courage to
tell that to the American people
and convince them to take all
necessary measures to help safe
guard these islands for the sake
of our own best national inter
est and our stake in world peace.
“At any rate, let us stop thjs
game of guessing. Let us face
squarely our national ahd world
responsibility. Let us stop mak
ing a political game out of the
Nation's foreign policy.
“If ye gear our foreign policy
to the counting of ballots in

South Desegregating
The editors were told earlier
that desegregation in the schools
of the South has been proceed
ing quietly, yet the total picture
the public gets is the opposite.
Charles A. McKnight advised
the editors that more attention
should be given to the “quiet,
constructive and unspectacular"
advance of integration in the
schools.
Mr. McKnight is director of
the Southern Education Report
ing Service at Nashville. He
was formerly editor of the Char
lotte (N C.) News.
Dabney Heads Service
The reporting service was set

by Virginius Dabney of the

ing school segregation. It is
financed by the Ford Founda
tion.
“Desegregation more often

leaders have not accurately re
flected the views of many re

McKnight said.

Prices Hold Steady
For Fourth Month
By the Associated Prest
The Government reported to
day that living costs held steady
in March for the fourth straight
month. This was described as
i the longest period of stability
since the beginning of World War
II and perhaps in modern times.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported its living cost index for
March was unchanged at 114.3
per cent of the 1947-49 average.
Mrs. Aryness Joy Wickens,
acting labor statistics commis
sioner, said the March figures
represent the first time since the
bureau started keeping monthly
living cost data in 1941 that the
index stayed unchanged for as
long as four months.
Before 1941 living costs were
calculated quarterly, but esti
mated monthly. It's been about
40 years. Mrs. Wickens said, that
even the estimates stayed at the
same level for four consecutive

Shanley, and addressed to Miss
Gertrude 8. Carraway, society
president, said:
“Dear Miss Carraway:
“Because circumstances have
not permitted Mrs. Eisenhower
and me to join the members of
the National Society, Daughters
of the American Revolution, in
their 64th Continental Congress,
I ask that you extend to all of
them out' regret that we could
not be with them.
Further the Dream
“I know that they will return
to their homes across the Na
tion strengthened in their devo
tion to the principles on which
the republic is founded. I am
equally sure that they will ever
seek in their home communi
ties new ways to further the
American dream of justice and
opportunity and dignity for all
our citizens.”
Miss Caraway said it was
learned yesterday afternoon
that the expected visit from the
President would not materialize
She said the society was disap
pointed, since it had been look
ing forward to the visit since
January.
But she added that his busi
ness in the affairs of State was
"far more important than com
ing to greet the DAR."
She added that "the President
knows he ean count on the con
tinued work and interest of the
DAR for the welfare of our Na
tion and preservation of its con
stitutional form of government.”
Applause is Slight
Only slight applause followed
the reading of the note, although
the convention did later adopt
a resolution of “deep apprecia
tion” to the President for his
message.
Miss Carraway asked Mr.
Shanley to convey her regards
and the gratitude of the society
that the President “in his busy
routine of duties, especially at
this very critical period, has
found time to write us a special
message.”
She voiced appreciation also
“for that very confidence I knew
he would feel. I know we will go
home and continue all our fine
efforts in behalf of our Consti

For Austria Pact
Parley May 2
Big Three Tell Soviet
Their Ministers
Are Ready to Talk
BY JOHN V. HORNER
The United States, Britain and
France proposed today that their
ambassadors and the ambassador
of Soviet Russia meet May 2
in Vienna with Austrian repre
sentatives to work out the long
delayed treaty of independence
for Austria.
Replying to a Soviet note of
Tuesday, the Western powers
said they will be pleased to par
ticipate "at the earliest possible
moment” in a meeting of Big
Four foreign ministers and Aus
trian representatives to sign the
treaty.
The meeting of the foreign
ministers, which may be held
as early as May 15, would be
largely a formality. This is
based on the assumption that
details for agreement will be
approved in advance by the am
bassadors.
Preliminary discussions will be
launched in Vienna Monday, by
“working groups” of the United
States, Britain and France. These
groups will include members of
the embassy staffs in the Aus
trian capital and specialists
from each of the three foreign
■ offices.
The State Department will
send two, Richard B. Freund, its
Austrian officer, and Donald
Wehmeyer, legal adviser.
Text of Note
The United States note to Rus
sia, which is identical with those
or Britain and France, said:
“The Government of the
United States, in consultation
with the British and French Gov
ernments, has considered the
Soviet Government’s note of
April 19 proposing a conference
of the Ministers of Foreign Af
fairs of the U. K., the Soviet
Union, the United States and
France, with Austrian represen
tatives participating, in order to
discuss the question of conclud
ing a state treaty for the re
establishment of an independent
democratic Austria and in order
to sign that treaty.
"The Government of the
United States welcomes the So
viet Government’s view that the
possibility now exists of conclud
ing the Austrian State treaty. It
would be pleased to participate
at the earliest possible moment
in a meeting of the foreign min
isters of the four powers together
with the representatives of Aus
tria in order to sign the treaty.
“From the information it has
received regarding the exchanges
between the Austrian and Soviet
Ministers in Moscow it is clear
that some preparatory work
still remains to be done. Recall
ing the tripartite declaration of
April 5, it suggests that the Am
bassadors of the four powers in
Vienna should meet at a very/
early date, with the participa
tion of Austrian representatives,
in order to examine the results
of the exchanges in Moscow and
to reach the necessary agree
ments for the early signature of
the state treaty by the foreign
ministers. It would therefore
propose that thy ambassadors
together with Austrian repre
sentatives should meet in Vienna
on May 2.
“As soon as the necessary
preparations have been com
pleted the earlist practicable
date should then be set for the
foreign ministers to meet and
to sign the treaty.”
Another Meeting Due
The British Foreign Office si
multaneously announced that
American, British and French
officials would start work in
London April 27 to lay the
groundwork for another Big Four
foreign ministers’ meeting of
wider scope—particularly on the
German question.

South Viet Nam Ready

SAIGON, Viet Nam.—Only a

from communism.

erns with questionable legality,
skill or popularity.
He faces overwhelming Com
munist armies outside his bor
ders and a complex of Red agents
within.
He dares not visit a third of
his own country. This area
is controlled by independent

bandits who command 40,000

and threaten civil war unless
Premier Diem quits.
Premier Diem’s own army has

shattered by eight years of war,
is almost swamped by the influx
of 550.000 refugees from North

Nehru Hits NATO Pact
As Prop to Colonialism
BANDUNG, Indonesia, April

Execution Date Set
In Taggart Slaying
Clarence E. Watson, jr., 21-
year-old bootblack, today was
sentenced to be electrocuted next
October 21 for the first-degree
murder of Miss Alyce O. Tag
gart. 45, in her room in the
Scott's Hotel, 2100 block of O
street N.W, in July, 1953.
Watson, who is colored, was
convicted last month by a jury.
The death penalty for first
degree murder is mandatory. De
fense counsel plan an appeal
from the conviction.
Sentence was by Judge Charles
F. McLaughlin of the U. S. Dis
-trict Court for the District of
Columbia. In imposing sentence,
Judge McLaughlin observed that
the defendant “for the greater
part of the time has been without
guidance.” The judge added,
however:
“There certainly is no excuse
for this horrible crime.”
Three Murder Counts
The jury convicted Watson on
three first-degree murder counts.
These include a charge of pre
meditated murder: also of kill
ing Miss Taggart while attempt
ing to rape her and of killing
her while he was committing
the crime of housebreaking. A.
duckpin was used in the slay
ing.
After sentencing Watson on
the murder counts. Judge Mc-
Laughlin also gave him from
one to five years on a separate
charge of housebreaking. The
jury had found Watson guilty
on that count for breaking into
Miss Taggaret’s rooom.
Even if the murder convic
tion were reversed. Watson
would face a long prison term.
Would Face 14-45 Years
In April of last year, Watson
was sentenced by another judge
to serve from 13 to 40 years for
breaking into an apartment and
raping an airline hostess. Judge
McLaughlin ordered today’s
housebreaking sentence of from
one to five years to run con
secutively to the 13 to 40 years’
sentence. This gives Watson a
prison term totaling 14 to 45
years without the murder con
viction counts.
Watson took the sentence
calmly, He shook his head when
Judge McLaughlin asked him if
he had anything to say.

presented here. But India does
not stand for either side. We
do not approve the Communist
or the anti-Communist powers.
We think that they are both
wrong and that their policies are
leading us to the bring of war.”
The Indian leader contended
that the 14-nation organization
headed by the United States,
Britain and France is “one of
the most powerful protectors of
colonialism, though it was cre
ated for self defense.”
“It is an intolerable humilia
tion,” he said, “for any nation
of Asia or Africa to degrade
itself by becoming a camp fol
lower of one or the other of the
power blocs. . . . We will*net
join either bloc because that

Mr. Nehru spoke strongly in

Trachtenberg,
Charney Pleas
NEW YORK, April 22 (fP).—
Two secondary Communists con
victed of conspiracy on testi
mony of Harvey Matusow, turn
about witness, won a new trial
today.
Federal Judge Edward J.
Dimock ordered the new trial for
Alexander Trachtenberg, 68, and
George Blake Charney, 47, both
of New York. m
Judge Dimock held, however,
that Matusow's testimony would
not have affected the guilty ver
dict of their 11 codefendants.
Judge’s Ruling
Judge Dimock said in his
ruling:
"With respect to the verdicts
against the others, I cannot
admit of the possibility that
they might have been different
without Matusow's testimony.
“The perjured testimony
against Trachtenberg was ad
mitted against him alone so
that it could not have given
any support to the verdicts
against the others.
“As to the perjured testimony
about the intention of the Com
munist Party ffo support a move
ment that would destroy United
States bases and cripple the
Caribbean defense. I cannot be
lieve that, in the mass of evi
dence in this case and the con
tent of this evidence, the verdict
against any one but Charney
would have been affected by its
absence.”
Got Prison Terms
Trachtenberg, a member 'of
the Communist Party's National
Education Commission, was sen
tenced to three years in prison
and ordered to pay a $6,000 fine.
Charney had been sentenced
to two years and ordered to pay
$4,000.
All the secondary Communists
found guilty moved for a new
trial on the ground that Matu
sow, a former Communist and
former informer for the FBI,
testified falsely against them as
a Government witness.
Matusow testified for them at
! the hearing. He said his testi
> mony had been false on several
points.
