Move to SendSchool Bill toHouse Fails

Tie Vote DefeatsDemocratic MotionIn Committee

A Democratic attempt toforce action on a Federal schoolconstruction aid bill lost on a ,tie vote In the House education iand Labor Committee today. 1Failure of the move to report

the bill t« the House apfteared

to have blocked any furtherconsideration at this session ofCongress.

By a similar 15-15 vote. main,ly on party lines, the commit-tee also defeated a Republicanmotion to return the bill to asubcommittee with instruc-tions that it be reported backto the full committee by June5 following further hearingsand study.

114 Billion Aid

The measure introduced re-cently by RepresentativeThompson, Democrat of NewJersey. Would provide $1.5 bil-lion in Federal aid to Statesfor school construction. Theproposal is similar to the pro-gram recommended last year

by President Eisenhower. Inhis annual message to Con-gress this year. Mr. Elsenhowerdid not renew that recommen-dation. but suggested that pri-ority be given to a program ofscholarships and other aids toeducation.

The House committee metthis morning to discuss theThompson bill as reported outApril 30 by a subcommittee.Democratic members urged thatthe full committee Immediatelysend the bill to the House sothat It could be acted on beforeCongress adjourns.

Representative Frelinghuy-sen. Republican of New Jersey,and several other Republicanmembers protested that thesubcommittee had acted toohastily in reporting out theThompson bill without ade-quate hearings. They alsowanted the committee to con-sider first the scholarship billwhich another subcommitteeapproved late yesterday.

Action Unlikely

Representative Wainwright.Republican of New York, movedthat the committee consider thescholarship bill before theschool construction aid bill. Hewithdrew that motion when Mr.Frelinghuysen moved to re-commit the school constructionbill with the understanding;that the subcommittee wouldreport it back not later thanJune 5. Both the recommittalmotion and a motion by Rep-resentative Metcalf. Democratof Montana, to approve theconstruction aid bill resultedin tie votes and thuswere defeated. CommitteeChairman Barden. Democrat ofNorth Carolina, voted with theRepublicans.

Still another tie vote. 10-10,defeated a Democratic move toadjourn the committee session.

A few moments later, however,Chairman Barden banged his 1gavel and declared the meetingadjourned because the Housewas then in session. He saidthe school construction aid billtechnically was still before thefull committee and could be re-considered later.

Other members declared thatthey saw little or no possibilitythat the bill would be broughtup again this year.

A small band of patriots meton Capitol Hill today, dedicated

to the proposition that citizensought to be able to sing theStar Spangled Banner.

In a prehearing huddle be-fore giving testimony to theHouse Judiciary Committee,Miss Lucy Monroe, sometimescalled "The Star Spangled So-prano,” conferred with MusicalDirector William Taubman inthe office of RepresentativeZelenko, Democrat of NewYork.

Miss Monroe said she wasgiven her title after singing thenational anthem more than5,000 times—including a six-month tour of duty at theWorld’s Fair and a perform-ance in Central Park before50,000.

‘Tve always encouraged theaudience to join in. but theyalways bog down in themiddle,” the soprano said.

“It’s just two phrases,” brokein Mr. Taubman, who has pre-

pared the “Revised StandardVersion,” to be sponsored by

Mr. Zelenko. “When you getto the part ‘And the rockets’red glare' and 'O'er the land ofthe free' you find yourself

j about an octave and a half past! human ability.”

Mr. Taubman said he first

I became involved in the Star, Spangled controversy in the'Army.

“Inoticed that when the sol-diers hit those phrases they

| just looked sheepish and embar-rassed—and I think women and

! children feel the same way."

In explaining his interest inI the matter, Mr. Zelenko said

, the Star Spangled Banner “is. a living part of the national

r scene . . . and shouldn't leavepeople with a feeling of frus-

( tration.”' On the way to a hearingi room. Mr. Taubman said that

• Francis Scott Key is known to; have made several changes in¦ the original melody and “ifi he had only made a couple

more we wouldn't be here to-i day.”

r Although Mr. Zelenko came¦ prepared with a trained sopra-no as well as a recording of

! the Star Spangled Banner, hesaid he didn’t think there

I would be any music played at’ the hearing.

; But he was wrong. The lead-’ off witness. Representative

! Broy'nill, Republican of Vir-' ginia, who is also pushing for

Patriots Try to Put National AnthemWithin the Range of You and Me

a standardized version of theNational Anthem, testified thathe became Interested when agroup of school children wrotein for "the official version.”

After extensive research, Mi*.Broyhill said, he learned thatthere was no such thing.Having stated his case, theVirginian asked Chairman Cel-ler, Democrat of New York, forpermission to play the versionhe is sponsoring.

Mr. Celler said he didn’t“want to make a circus” of thehearing, but would grant therequest if other witnesses hadno objection, and if the tape

wer? turned down low.When the tape began to spin,

it proved to be six variationson one simple melody. At firstthe theme was given with apianist chording with his lefthand and one-finger pickingwith his right hand.

It progressed, Victor Borgefashion, through the followingstages:

For mass singing, as a con-cert pianist would render It, asperformed by two choruses, andfinally by the United StatesArmy Band.

The audience, composed pri-marily of members of patrioticorganizations, seemed morethan a little inspired.

Upturn Is in Making,Eisenhower Declares

Says Recession Is Slowing Down;Tax Cut Decision Promised Soon

NEW YORK. May 21 (*).—President Elsenhower told theNation last night that an economic upturn 1s In the making.

He foresaw a future bursting with vitality and promise.

"No single person and no single group, however wise,

can name the day or the week when the upturn will begin,"the President said.

The slump is not over by any means, Mr. Elsenhowersaid. He added, however, that

reports from the Nation istrongly Indicate that the re-cession is slowing down.

Once again the Presidentpromised that decisions on taxcut proposals willbe made soon.

He put so much stress onthe dangers in Inflation and

Test *1 frttidest'i Addrctt.fa*# A-16

mounting deficits that he ap-peared to rule out the likeli-hood of White House support

for a general cut in Federal'Income taxes.

Tax Cat Problematical

And James C. Hagerty. hispress secretary, told newsmenin response to questions thatthe President's remarks aboutan early decision on taxesshould not be interpreted asmeaning necessarily that theadministration will advocate acut.

The decision on taxes, MrEisenhower said, will be madeonly after consultation withDemocratic and Republicancongressional leaders.

The President addressed2,600 business leaders at aneconomic mobilization confer-ence called by the AmericanManagement Association. Hisspeech was beamed to the Na-tion by radio and television.

He was introduced at theconference dinner by VicePresident Nixon.

The Vice President told thebusiness executives at an after-noon session that political pres-

; sure for an emergency tax cutdirected solely at benefitingconsumers should be resisted.

Mr. Nixon was cheered whenhe said any tax cut. if one be- <comes necessary, "should putmoney in the hands of the lob

I creators, as well as in the con--1 sumers."

President Gets Ovation

The President, looking tan

and fit, got an ovation when;he was Introduced at the

| dinner.Early in his speech the Presl-,

. dent called on all Americans tomarshal for a new offensive topromote an early upturn andrenewed economic growth thatis vigorous and strong.

The President made a strongplea to Industry and labor toreduce prices and avoid infla-tionary wage rises.

His recommendations thatlabor forego pay increases thatwould raise prices was enthusi-astically received.

The business, executives alsoapplauded when the President

1 pledged his administrationwould avoid costly new publicworks programs.

¦ The audience was silent, how-i ever, when Mr. Esenhower ad-

vocated less timidity on price‘ cuts and capital investments.

» American consumers, he cau-tioned. will express resentment“in ways that are clear and

• painful” unless future wage and1 price hikes are Justified by in-creased productivity.

Without such justification,the President said, the wholeeconomy will suffer.

Pinpoint Scrutiny SetIn Airliner-Jet Crash

By CHARLES J. YARBROUGHStar fi’nff Writer

Collision of a jet trainer anda commercial airliner over thePotomac valley near Bruns-wick, Md.. was exploding intoone of the most far-reachinginvestigations in aviation his-tory today.

Twelve persons died in thewreckage, 11 of them aboardthe Capital Airlines' four-engine Viscount; one in theMaryland Air National GuardT-33 Jet trainer.

Lone survivor—the 13th per-

son Involved—was Capt. JuliusR. McCoy of Baltimore, full-time flight engineer assignedto the 104th Fighter Group ofthe Maryland Air Guard. Badlyburned about the face andhands, he was hospitalized atBaltimore after parachutingfrom his disintegrating plane.

Didn’t See Plane

Capt. McCoy’s jet trainer, onan orientation flight, was"cruisiijg at about 8.000 feet. ’ihe said from his hospital bed.

"At no time did I see anotherplane,” he declared.

"The next thing I knew thereseemed to be an explosion.There were flames and wreck-age all around me.”

Experts on every phase ofairplane construction and de-

J struction probed the widelyscattered wreckage on theOscar Smith farm southeastof Brunswick, where the intacttail section of the airlinerpointed skyward beside partlyburned debris.

{ But because someone sur-vived this crash and there ap-pears to have been innumer-able witnesses, the experts' jobof reconstruction is relativelysimple compared with others.

Chief Prober on Hand

However, Joseph Fluet, theCivil Aeronautics Board’s chiefof the investigation division forthe New York region, which in-cludes this area, said no expla-nation of the crash could beexpected until the final reportis made.

Working with Mr. Fluet wereteams of experts on propellersand engines, structures, wit-nesses; representatives fromCapital, from the CAA. fromthe Air Line Pilots Association,the Air Force, Maryland Na-tional Guard and from theplane's manufacturers, Vickersof England and the builders ofits Rolls Royce engines.

High-level and low-level mo-i saic photographs were to be¦ taken of the area today to giveprobers a better idea of the

Douglas AsksNew BenefitsFor Jobless

16 Weeks ExtraPay Sought toAugment ProgramBy J. A. O'LEARY

Star staff Writer

Senator Douglas, Democrat ofIllinois, drew up today a newemergency unemployment com-pensation bill that would re-quire a mandatory extension ofbenefit payments for 16 weeksto idle workers who have ex-hausted their benefits underState law.

He made the announcementas the Senate Finance Com-mittee went into closed ses-sion this morning to act onthe House-approved bill, whichwould authorise an advance ofFederal funds only to thoseStates which ask for it. Underthe House bill the extensionwould be for 50 per cent ofthe number of weeks allowedby State law.

The committee debated theDouglas substitute for two hoursand then put off a vote untiltomorrow.

Senator Douglas also pro-posed adding Federal reliefpayments of S3O per month tojobless persons not entitled tounemployment compensation.

; His amendment would also give

S3O per month to each depend-ent of an idle worker outsideof the compensation system,but with limitation on thenumber of children who couldbe counted.

Since most of the Stateshave a maximum of 26 weeksannually, the House bill inmost cases would authorize 13additional weeks, providedState officials request Federalaid.

Would Affect Payroll Tax

If a State takes advantage ofthe House bill, the employersin that State would pay ahigher payroll tax four yearsfrom now to repay the Federalmoney.

Senator Douglas also wouldrequire repayment to the Fed-eral Government, but since hisbill is mandatory on all of theStates, the higher tax wouldapply uniformly to all employ-ees in industries covered bythe Unemployment Compen-sation Act.

All indications are the Fi-nance Committe will approve

2 More Danger SpotsAt Zoo Get Attention

By RJCHARD O’LONE |Star Stan Writer

Washington Zoo officials saidtoday they hjtve taken emer-,gency precautions at two otherdanger spots as a result of thetragedy last Friday, when a

| lion seized and killed a child.At a hastily called informal

hearing by the House DistrictCommittee, Assistant Zoo Di-rector J. Lear Grimmer said akeeper and a pibliceman arealternating at keeping a con-stant watch over the snowleopard cage.

Mr. Grimmer said the area“could be dangerous in thesame manner” as the lions’cages, which are now protectedby wire meshed across the pub-lic barrier in front of the cages.

He said wire mesh will beinstalled at the leopard cagesoon.

Zoo Director Theodore Reedsaid hippopotamuses will notbe let into their inclosure out-side the elephant house be-cause children may climb thefence around it and fall over.

Study of Danger Continues

Dr. Reed said a continuingstudy of danger areas is beingconducted and the committeewill be informed if any othersare found.

The hearing was called at therequest of Representative Mil-ler, Republican of Nebraska.

Iwho took the lead in question- iing witnesses.

He exhibited a story fromiIThe Sunday Star in which Dr. iI Reed was quoted as saying thetragedy pointed up the long-

| standing need for more police-men, keepers and a new lion-

li house.;| He asked Dr. Leonard Car-)mlchael, secretary of the

l Smithsonian Institution, if ne! jagreed. Dr. Carmichael replii^l• that he has never stated the

r tragedy was due to lack of| funds.

t [ Dr. Carmichael also told the> committee he is not requesting¦ funds for any emergency meas-I ures to make the Zoo safer. He.'said funds would be diverted

. 1 from other purposes, if sucnJ measures are needed.

Distance Measured

. Representative Miller said he; visited the Zoo after the acci-,

' dent and measured the distancebetween the bars on the barrier

[ outside the lions' cages. He saida child could slip through them

' easily.He said he priced wire mesh,

and found it cost only $lB for' 50 feet 4 feet high. He asked

: Dr. Reed why the wire was not 1¦ put up before the tragedy.1 “Because the possibility that

a child could slip through hasi never been raised," Dr. Reed

• replied. “We still don't knowhow the child got inside.” .

Big MarginSurprisesSupporters

By CHARLES L. HOFFMANStar SUIT Writer

Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro.jr.. of Baltimore surprised eveshis most ardent supporters withhis margin of victory in Mary-land's Democratic senatorialprimary yesterday. It was his23d victory in 23 political con-tests.

The vote piled up by tjio"unity and victory” Ucket gives

Democrats their greatest hopesfor defeating ths Republicansin the last 12 years.

Mayor D'Alesandro won aclear majority of the unit voteswhich determine the nomina-tion. He walked off with 83votes, leaving only 44 for hisclosest opponent, George P. Ma-honey and 25 for James Bruce.

This decisive margin, coupledwith the friendliness of Mr.Mahoney's statement concedingdefeat, led the harmony ticketto predict a united party frontin November.

The bitterness of primariessince 1950 has left the partyso badly split that, despitsregistration margins of more

i than two-to-one, the party has: lost to the Republicans in twsgubernatorial and three sena-

torial races.

Future in QuestionMr Mahoney’s political fu-

ture is the big question. Ha.had been confident of victorythis year, despite the lack oforganization support through-out the State.

Unofficial returns from 1,339of the State's 1.337 precinctsgave Mr. D'Alesandro 124,500to 118,957 for Mr. Mahoney,57,208 for James Bruce and45,374 for Clarence D. Long.The other three aspirants gotless than 5.000 each.

Mr. D’Alesandro even wonmore county unit votes thandid Mr. Mahoney although thelatter edged him 74,161 to65,580 in the popular vote out-side Baltimore.

Mr. D'Alesandro's weaknessin the counties may prove fatalin November when he is upagainst Senator J. Glenn Beall,who is popular in the ruralareas.

In conceding defeat at 11:45p.m., Mr. Mahoney said:

"I congratulate him and ex-tend my best wishes to him andall Democratic candidates forsuccess in the general election."

One man who made it clearhe was not leaving the politicalscene despite the drubbing hetook was Mr. Long, a JohnsHopkins University professor.

To Run Again

He said he intended to runfor office again and consideredthis campaign as only part ofhis "education.”

Yesterday's results pit Demo-crat J. Millard Tawes against

I Representative Devereux forGovernor: State Senator LouisL. Goldstein against John A.Derr, Republican Mayor ofFrederick, for controller: andAttorney General C. FerdinandSybert against Robert A. Wal-

j lade of Montgomery County,Republican, for attorney gen-

: eral.Mr. Tawes captured all 152

unit votes in the gubernatorialnomination race. Mr. Gold-stein lost only seven unit votesin Baltimore city to Joseph L.Manning.
