Judiciary Body Bypasses Feud WASHINGTON, June 13 P) The house judiciary committee decided today It doei not have sufficient evidence to take any action in the supreme court con troversy involving Justices Rob ert H. Jackson and Hugo L. Black. . Chairman Hatton W. Sumnera (D-Tdx.) told reporters at the end of the closed meeting that there is "no determination at tne moment to conduct an inves tigation."

Decide to take no action at all, or 8. Adjourn without taking formal recognition of the mat ter.

WAA Declares MB Available PORTLAND. June 13 (VP) The Klamath Falls Marine Bar racks is available to any pur chaser the public agency prior ity having expired but custom ers are lacking, E. Wilbur Barnes, war assets administra tion real estate head, said today. The most hopeful prospect faded when the state board of higher education on Monday de cided not to take it for a college, though the board left the "gate open" for possible consideration later. A tentative suggestion that the state might be interested in it for a vocational school is the only other nibble, he said, and that still is in a highly prelimi nary stage. No inventory has been made, Barnes said, but he estimated its current market value at "a couple of million dollars." The Barracks cost between $5,000, 000 and $6,000,000, he said, and if sold to a governmental agency a discount up to 100 per cent is allowable. Barnes said he had suggested the Barracks as a possible state tuberculosis hospital, but be lieved the suggestion was not being seriously entertained. (See editorial comment, page four.)
