Its size makes it virtually loss proof, 'tj WASHINGTON UP Strong Senate opposition has developed against a bill to relax some of the provisions of the Hatch act barring federal employes from partisan political activity. Broadsides against the measure came from such diverse political figures as Senator McKellar (D Tenn), a southern Democrat, Sena tor Taft (R-Ohio), chairman of the senate GOP policy committee, and Senator Humphrey (D-Minn), a "Fair Dealer." Each h. i different reasons for his dislike of the bill. The bill, produced by a Senate House conference from separate versions passed by the two houses, would do two principal things: 1. Amend the act to permit the civil service commission to penal ize a violator witn as little as a 30-day suspensidn from his job without pay. i his would require a unanimous vote of the three-man commission. Dismissal is now pro vided by the law. 2. Permit government workers living in Maryland and Virginia in the immediate vicinity of Wash ington to take part in partisan politics at a local level. The bill was called up with pros pects of speedy approval. But Mc Kellar and otners objected and a vote was ordered put off until next Wednesday. The House approved it last May 4. Opposition Explainad McKellar protested the lack of a provision to permit federal work ers at the Oak Ridge. Tcnn., atomic plant to engage in local party politics. i Chairman Hayden (D-Ariz) of the senate rules committee replied that the matter should be handled by separate legislation because Oak Ridge is a government-owned com munity. Humphrey blasted a section of the measure which he said would make all civil service records, in cluding confidential files, available to Congress when a Hatch act vio lation was involved. He said it would provide an im portant precedent for similar legis lation giving congressional commit tees a statutory right to obtain rec ords pertaining to loyalty cases. Congress has feuded with the administration many times over such records. The latest involves the loyalty files of persons named by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) in his Communist - in - government charges. President Truman has permitted a senate foreign relations subcom mittee inquiring into the charges to look at State department loyalty files but has denied the senators civil service and FBI records. Taft contended the bill would "completely emasculate" the dis missal penalty provided by the act. He argued a 30-day suspension would, in effect, be no punishment at all because the political organi zation employing the federal worker would make up the lost salary. f ( i j71 I f x I I ' ' If: imw -M.

UP) Gold and dollars jingled into Britain's treasury at a record postwar rate in the second quarter of 1950. re flecting steady progress towards recovery, reliable sources report. Informants in 'touch with the Treasury predicted the total gold and dollars which belong not only to Britain but the whole sterling area would top $2,300,000,000. This would represent a rise of around $316,000,000 biggest single quar terly jump since the war. The total would easily top the minimum safety level of $2,000. 000,000 which the government set itself in 1948. It- also would show that the sterling area, for the sec ond consecutive quarter, has earned more dollars than it has spent. Details probably will be given to the House of Commons by Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor of the exchequer, early in July, when the final quarterly figures ore avail able. Britain's gold and dollar re serves, which stood at $2,2-11. 00.000 on March 31, 1948. had sagged to about two-thirds that amount at the time of pound devaluation last September. Since then they have risen steadily. By the end of 1949 they had moved up to $1,688,000,000. In the first three months of this year they jumped to $1,984,000,000. Graduates are pouring out of the nation's colleges in ever increasing numbers, this year's crop being an estimated record 450,000. Today there are about 4,500,000 living college graduates; some edu cators predict that 20 years from now there will be 10,000,000 to 15,000,000. One result is increased competition for jobs among graduates, with more and more beginning jobs requiring college degrees.

Third Street Phone 933 Shriners Carry On Conclave Despite Handicaps In L A. LOS ANGELES, June 20 (PI Mecca moved west today as an estimated 125,000 shriners swarm ed over Los Angeles and its far flung environs for the 76th annual session of the imperial council. Today was a day of parades for 13,000 delegates from 67 temples, most of them marching in their colorful uniforms behind blaring bands. Mounted units included 280 horsemen, six camels from Madi son, Wis., and scores aboard all manner of weird conveyances, ranging from a 1901 one-cylinder automobile from Louisville, Ky., to a cable street car from San Fran cisco. Despite a local traction strike, nobles found their way around in chartered taxis and cars of ac commodating citizens. Several de putations from far northern locales declared they brought their own sourdough just in case the also current bakers' strike proves in convenient. Officially the conclave opened Sunday and will continue through Thursday. Traffic congestion reached a peak almost unprecedented in Los Angeles. Many delegates, aware of the trolley strike, brought their cars and space in parking lots was virlally non existent. Even so, most majo lots retained regular rates a maximum of about 75 cents a day for such space as was avail able. A few outlying lots cashed in on the situation by tipping the lee to as much as $1 an hour. The housing problem was equally severe. Some 1800 delegates from Pittsburgh's Syria lodge, for in stance, were expected and accom modated. But another 650 arrived yesterday, by auto. Their reser vations had been cancelled by over loaded railroads but they came anyway. A lucky few among them found shelter in a hish school gym nasium at Santa Monica, 20 miles away. On the serious side, Al Malaikah Temple, Los Angeles, laid the cor nerstone yesterday for the 17th shrine crippled children's hospital. By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, (.-PI Last week I ran into the dean of a big Amer ican law school, and we talked about the supreme court. We started talking about a Washington Post editorial which criticized the court for "dump ing" 18 opinions on the public in one day. That was June 5, the court s last day before it went on vacation. Too much for the public to digest in one day, the Post said. "Parhaps," the newspaper said, "it is of no concern to the court whether its output is properly communicated to the people. Yet we do not see how anybody in a democratic land could take such an attitude." The dean defended the court. He said he couldn't see how it could do any better. From there we discussed the writing ability of the nine justices. Some of them, 1 suggested, don't write very well, or at least don't write so clearly and simply that the general public can understand. Since, from time immemorial schools have been teaching their future lawyers to write good, Eng lish. "Yes. indeed," the dean said. "American law schools are very much aware of that and have been working at it for years." Everywhere, he said, law schools are stressing better writing among their students. " This is often quite a task, he said, because universities ship in to the law schools too many grad uates who can't write at all. I suggested that if lawyers would stop writing Latin words and use English words, which most people can understand, it would be helpful. The dean objected to this. Latin words in law, he said, have a special meaning for lawyers and can't be discarded. Since I didn't know what stand- Elecmor, In Netherlands, Visits Ancestral Home nirr, vnccrurm Twm.FN IS. LAND, The Netherlands, June 20 UP Four hundred school cnil dren cheered Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today on her arrival at this island, from where family ra dition says the Roosevelts left tor America 300 years ago. She visitea an ancient ouuse uu what is said to be the original Roosevelt farm and inspected a church where a member of the RnAGAv.lt family nresented a gift of a Chandelabrum in 1700. Mrs. Roosevelt was accompaniea by her son, Elliott, and his two children. EVERYTHING BUT BATTERY " CINCINNATI W Harry (Peanuts) Lowrey, outfielder for the, Cincinnati Reds, has played seven different positions during his career in organized baseball. Lowrey has done everything that can be done on a ball field ex cept pitch and catch. And in his high sciool days, at Hamilton high in Los Angeles, Lowrey pitched the team to the city championship. Kn v.tinnal Ipnzu hatting cham pion has repeated since Rogers Hornsby won his last of six straight hitting titles in $925. ards the dean had for good writing by lawyers, I asked him: Who among the nine supreme court justices is the shining ex amnlA nf a ffood writer? He named his favorite. He said lawyers generally consider mis one man's opinions positively bril liant. It so happens that a number of newsmen, including me, think this particular justice is the worst writ er on the court. "When you say he's brilliant," I said, "do you mean he's clear in writing for the public or do you mean he uses words which have a special meaning for lawyers only?" "For lawyers," the dean said. But I said: "I thought we were talking about writing so that both lawyers and the public can under stand." "I know," the dean said, "but that reminds me of a story about the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. "One day he had an opinion to write and explained it to his as sistant. The assistant wrote out the opinion and showed it to the jus tice. "The justice said 'no,' that the assistant had missed the point. So the justice wrote the opinion himself and showed it to the as sistant. "The assistant read it through and told the justice: 'I don't see where you say here the point you explained to me.' "Then the justice pointed to a single word down deep in the opin ion and the clerk looked and said: " 'Oh, now that you point it out, I can see where that word says what you had in mind. -But only one lawyer in 100 would see that.' "And Justice Holmes answered: 'Precisely. .But he's the lawyer with the keen mind'." Of course, if only one lawyer out of 100 could understand what the justice had said, the public would sort of be left out of it. So I asked the dean if he meant by his example that the justice who wrote only for the very keen mind, the one out of 100, was the best writer. The dean said that was more or less the idea.
