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." Even before the meeting,
. Sumners was on record as fa
voring a go-slow attitude. At
that time, he said, the commit
. tee could take one of three
courses:
1. Recommend an investiga
tion into Jackson's complaint
that Justice Hugo Black em
ployed "bullying" tactics and
threatened mm wun war un
lose he "covered up facts" in
the portal-to-portal mine wage
case la-st year.
2. Decide to take no action at
all, or
8. Adjourn without taking
formal recognition of the mat
ter.
Sumners' position in support
of a hands-off attitude for the
present was echoed in stronger
words by his opposite number in
the senate when Chairman Mc
Carran (D-Nev.) of that cham
ber's judiciary committee plead
ed with his colleagues to "re
serve Judgment In this trying
moment."

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.)

Spanish Plan

Soviet Delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko today expressed com
plete disagreement with a com
promise plan for the United Na
tions security council to refer
the Spanish question to the gen
eral assembly but did not at this
point invoke his power to veto.
The council adjourned until
Monday afternoon at 2:30 p. m.,
EDT., with the Spanish question
still undecided.
Gromyko's stand against the
compromise plan as well as a
bitter attack on the conclusions
of the sub-committee which in
vestigated Spain made it certain
that the delegates would have to
arrive at another solution if the
Spanish question is to be acted
on In the council or sent forward
to the assembly.
Gromyko. who held the floor
through most of today's session,
condemned the compromise plan
as a "dangerous precedent
which would mean that the coun
cil has "evaded its duties."
The United States, Australia,
France. Poland, China, Brazil
and Egypt a majority of the
council backed the plan, which
represented a modification of
the sub-committee's report.
The Netherlands delegate, Dr.
Eelco'Van Kief fens, sided with
Gromyko in calling for action
by the security council instead of
referring the case to the gen
eral assembly.
However, Van Kleffens said
that in the ''interests of unanim
ity" he would not oppose the
compromise plan. He reserved
his position for future discus
sions. Three-fifths or more of a muti
