House Rejects
Stop-Gap Bill
Washington, Aug. 15 W The
house refused today to pass an
other "stopgap" appropriation
bill.
This left the armed services
and several other government
departments without funds to op
erate after midnight tonight.
The house voted 176 to 145 for
the "stopgap" appropriations to
finance the departments until
there is more time to act on
their regular appropriations. Un
der the procedure used, howev
er, a two-thirds majority was
required for pasasge.
Administration leaders indicat
ed they probably will call up
the bill again, perhaps tomor
row, under procedures that re
quire only a majority vote.
Some member said the tempo
rary lack of funds may "paral
yze" operations of the military
establishment, causing "utter
confusion and chaos."
Others said the economic co
operation administration, which
administers Marshall Plan out
lays, will be without funds.
But the opponents argued that
refusal to pass the "stop-gap"
bill will force the senate to act
swiftly on the long-delayed reg
ular appropriation bills already
passed by the house and now
caught in the senate legislative
jam.
' Today's action came up under
a "suspension of rules" proced
ure that required a two-thirds
vote.
Anti-Red Law
Held illegal
Baltimore, Aug. 15 OP)
A
judge today struck down Mary
land s strict new law against sub
versive activities.
Judge Joseph Sherbow said I
state may not legislate on the
thoughts of its citizens.
"The Supreme Court has made
it clear, he said, "that laws may
punish acts and conduct which
clearly, seriously and Imminent
ly threaten substantive evils.
"They may not intrude into
the realm of ideas, religious and
political beliefs, and opinions.
"The law deals with overt acts,
not thoughts. It may punish for
acting, but not for thinking.
Maryland s so-called Ober law,
was framed by a commission
eaded by Frank B. Ober, Baltl-
nore attorney. It was adopted
y the general assembly last win
ter and became effective June 1.
It provided prison sentences up
to five years and fines up to
$5,000 just for belonging to an
organization deemed subversive.
Penalties up to $20,000 and 20
years In prison are set for those
engaged actively in subversive
activities.
All public employes, Including
school teachers, were required
to sign a loyalty oath.
Knights to Open
Convention Tuesday
Portland. Me., Aug. 15 W
The Knights of Columbus reso
lutions committee asserted to
day that the Catholic altitude
on federal education aid "is be
ing misrepresented to the pub
lie."

olution supporting the stand of
Francis Cardinal Spellman, re
cently involved in controversy
with Mrs. Klcanor Roosevelt

tion of the order, which opens

age be given all children, wheth
er they attend public, private or
parochial schools," Luke E

20 Soviet Officers
Said Killed in Plot
Hamburg, Germany, Aug. 15
iPi The British-licensed Ger
man newspaper Welt An Sonn
tag says 20 Soviet army officers
were killed July 25 In a plot
aimed at Soviet Marshal Kon
stantin Rokossovsky.
There was no confirmation
from other sources. Nor has
there been any indication of
such an incident In reports of
Rokossovsky since that date. He
was made an honorary citizen of
Wroclaw, Poland, last week.
A high American Intelligence
officer in Berlin said the first
his office knew of the report
was from the newspaper.
"We know nothing of such an
explosion or plot," he said. "And
we seriously doubt that such a
thing could have occurred prac
tically In our own back yard
without our learning of It."

Seek to Halt
Samish Lobby
Sacramento, Calif., Aug. 15
W) Governor Earl Warren was
asked today to'' call a special
session of the legislature to en
act laws which would halt the
type of lobbying practiced by
liquor representative Arthur H.
Samish.
Colliers magazine last week
called Samish "the secret boss
of California." The magazine
said he controlled a large block
of votes in the legislature and
contributed heavily to legisla
tors' campaign funds.
Assemblyman John E. Moss,
Jr., Sacramento, asked Warren
to call the special session now
or early in 1950.
Moss said the "brazen and
contemptuous tone" of quota
tions attributed to Samish in
Colliers constitute a challenge
to every elected office holder
In the state.
Independent Petroleum lob
byist Monroe Butler, who Col
liers said was a leader in the
lobbyists' fight to slash Gover
nor Warren's billion dollar bud
get, told newsmen today he
makes campaign contributions
to legislators "openly and by
check."
Butler said:
"Our contributions (to legis
lators' campaign funds) are
made on a strictly nonpartisan
basis and on the qualifications
and fitness of the individual for
the oarticular office . . .
"The greal majority of the
members of the legislature are
honest, work long hours at Sac
ramento, and on the whole do
a good job for the people. We
do not claim to control any
member."

On Wage Hikes
Oakland, Calif., Aug. 15 W
An employer spokesman warned
the International Typographical
union today that any demands
that will increase costs will be
resisted firmly.
Speaking at the opening ses
sion of the ITU annual conven
tion, Thomas P. Henry, Jr., of
Detroit, Said:
"You are going to meet re
sistance this year to any demand
that will increase costs.
"And there is going to be a
good economic report for the
firm stand that employers will
take. We suggest that you ana
lyze this situation yourselves
and that you temper your de
mands out an an appreciation
of the situation which our indus
try faces."
Henry is president of the
union employers section of the
Printing Industry of America,
Inc.
"I venture to say that no cost
increases which occur at this
time can be passed on at all," he
continued. "If an attempt is
made to pass them on, sales will
be lost. Some companies will
not be able to cut prices and the
less efficient ones, as always,
will have to cut back their oper
ations sharply. ,
"Thus, as we see it, the prob
lem today is one of continuity
of employment and continuity of
enterprise in the commercial
printing field."

marine explorer. Barton (left) received instructions from
Dr. Maurice Nelles before being sealed into the Bentho

during test at Long Beach, Calif. The Benthoscope (right) is

Smuggler's Cove, Calif., Aug,
15 () Marine Explorer Otis
Barton descended into the ocean
depths 2,300 feet today, then
gave up attempting to reach a
world record depth of 6,000 feet,
Generator trouble on the
barge from which his steel
sphere or benthoscope was low
ered, left him without lights or
power for a motion picture cam
era.
'There is no use continuing
without lights," he telephoned
his surface associate, Dr. Mau
rice Nelles. "It would be just
a stunt without lights."
As crewmen worked frantic
ally to repair the generator and
Nelles urged him to continue
downward, Barton decided it
was futile and ordered an
ascent. The crew began hauling
him topside.
Two days of mechanical
trouble and rough water had
plagued him on this effort to
set a new record.
