 LIBERAL VICTORY
 Representative Carl Vinson's dramatic announcement that no would eliminate the ban on fu- ture closed -shop contracts from his anti.strike bill was not inspired by . sudden burst of sentiment for labor. Nor was this the reason for cutting out the heavy penals ties against anti.strike violators. Far from it.
 Vinsons baekdown was brought about by the three militant lib. eral members of hM Naval Al. fairs Committee --Representatlves Warren Magnuson Of Washington, Nd fsae of California, and Mike Bradley of Pennsylvania. The trio biuntly informed Vinson that unless the bill was sharply re. vised they would blast It with both barrels on the floor.
 Democratic opposition from his own committee was the last thing vinson wanted, especially from three such popular House iaoifls bers. 60 he agreed to the changes. However, when ne announced h!s decision at a private committee meeting, the Georgia congressman ran head.on Into another baWilng out, this time from the other side of the fence.
 "You'ro cutting the heart out of the bill" protested Rep. Devs erly Vincent Of Kentucky. "You might as well do away with tho whole bill if you leave out the penalties and the closed shop pros vision. There's something mighty mysterious about this, Carl. What made you change your ideas9"
 ''f haven't changed my ideas," shot back V!nsos. "ff I had my way this bill would become law as 1t was originally written. No, indeed, haven't changed my Ideas but the force of cireuin. stances has caused me to change my actlons."
