C.A.A.Reorganization Batfle Opens Monday On Senate Floor McCarran, Defeated in ‘Committee, Confident of Blocking Change By J. A. O'LEARY. Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada was confident today he will have the votes in the Senate next week to stop the President’s pro- posed reorganization of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. He made the prediction following the action of the Senate Reorgani- zation Committee late yesterday in voting 5 to 3 to uphold the Presi- dent’s plan, by reporting adversely on his resolution of disapproval. The floor battle is expected to start Monday, with debate limited to 10 hours by the terms of the Reor- ganization Act. The motion to take up the McCarran resolution is privi- leged and not debatable. Already Disapproved by House. If a majority of the Senate sup- ports the McCarran resolution the reorganization order will be killed, since the House already has disap- proved it. The committee acted after a final day of hearing members and former officials of the three-man Air Safety Board, which the plan would abol- ish, and Chairman Robert H. Hinckley of the five-man Civil Aeronautics Authority, which would take over the functions of the smaller board. The committee vote follows: To sustain the President by re- porting adversely on the McCarran resolution—Senators Byrnes, Demo- crat, of South Carolina; Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky; Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi; Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois, and La Fol- lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin. Against the adverse report—Sena- tors Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia; McNary, Republican, of Oregon, and Townsend, Republican, of Delaware. O’Mahoney Absent. Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, remaining member, was sbsent and not voting. C. B. Allen, a ‘member of the Bafety Board, testified yesterday afternoon the reorganization plan ‘would be a “great mistake and a step backward,” following up in sub- stance testimony given earlier by ‘Thomas Hardin, another member of the Safety Board. Mr. Allen contended there are only two basic issues involved, which he summed up as follows: 1, whether the agency or agencies dealing with civil aeronautics are to be creatures of Congress, or of the President through the Secretary of Commerce; 2, whether the agency investigating accidents is to be in a position of investigating the adequacy of its own regulations. The last witness was Mr. Hinckley, who emphasized he was presenting only his own views. Replying to committee questions, he said the reorganization program *“can actually increase safety for the traveling public, and actually improve conditions generally in the industry.” Short-Weight ChickenSales Bring Fines Totaling $500 A $500 fine—$50 on each of 10 Government informations charging 40 violations of the District’s weights and measures laws—was the sentence imposed yesterday on Luther W. High, trading as the High Ice Cream Co. by Police Court Judge John P. McMahon. Mr. High had previously pleaded guilty to the charges, filed in con- nection with the short-weight sales of dressed chickens at 10 High stores in this city, when arraigned before Judge McMahon on April 25. Each information charged four offenses against the defendant— two of short weight and two of sell- ing by weight and not net weight. Mr. High was sentenced to pay $50 on the first count of each informa- tion, sentence being suspended on the other three counts of each. George M. Roberts, superintend- ent of weights, measures and mar- kets for the District government, swore to the informations after purchases were made by his agents at various High stores. Assistant Corporation Counsel Milton Korman told the court chickens handled in the stores were being sold “dressed” at live weight, the difference being approximately three-fourths pound per chicken. ‘The chickens, the prosecutor ex- plained, were weighed at a poultry THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
