DELAWARE, Ohio, March 5.-A
"supranational' government COM
manding an allegiance which would
supersede national loyalty was pro-
posed today for the attainment Of
permanent world peace.
John Foster Dulles, speaking to
$50 representatives of Protestant
denominations here to formulate
the bases of a lust and durable
peace" said the international au-
thority should contain legislative,
executive and judicial branches.
Mr.. Dulles. who was secretary Of

ties.
He suggested that the present
League of Nations, its Covenant

lative and appointing agency, and
the World Court of today might be
the judiciary.

ment' negotiated by Mr.. Hillman
with the approval of Donald M.

had the effect of excluding members
of the International Ladies Gar

on military clothing contracts and
confning the work to members of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, with which Mr.. Hillman is
affiliated.
The latter is the union for mems
clothing workers. Mr.. Engel de-
clared that the alleged arrange
ment' required the War Depart
ment to let clothing contracts only
to firms which normally manufac-
ture mems wear and excluded firms
making women's wear.

Evidence Reshoped

Resumption of the hearing to
predetermine wages to be paid work.
ers here in carrying out the Gov
ernments defense housing program
has been postponed until 10 am.
next Tuesday, the Labor Depart
ment announced today. A contin-
uance OF the hearing had been
scheduled for tomorrow.
Ben Grodsky, Labor Department
referee, said the postponement was
necessary for a reshaping of evil
dence so that the hearing may be
resumed in more orderly fashion.
An all-day session Tuesday pro-
duced continual wrangling between
private builders and building trades
union leaders and little evidence
which was not challenged.
Will Decide Prevailing Wage.
Purpose of the Bacon-Davis Act
hearing is to determine wage rates
which prevail in Metropolitan
Washington for construction sim
liar in type to that the Government
plans to erect in its housing pro-
gram.
The builders contend that the pre-
vailing wage for residential build
ing is considerably lower than the
high union scale which the Gov
eminent has been paying for its
housing. Builders fear a continu-
ance of the high rate will force
them to pay wages considered "un-
economical for private enterprise
housing"
Union leaders hold that their rate
predominateS here for the type Of
work the Government plans to pro-
duce. Protesting alleged admission
on Tuesday of evidence termed
irrelevant" the unions threatened
to halt work on Government prof.
ects and fill the hall" with men
who would testify as to wages re-
ceived
Builders Offer Evidence.
The builders introduced evidence
purporting to show that nearly all
of the approximately 21,0O0 dwell
ing units produced here last year
by private industry were built by
lower-scale workmen Tabulations
included wages on the more elabo-
rate apartments in the city. which
Mr.. Grodsky ruled not pertinent to
the issue. 1t is for the elimination
of this evidence that the hearing
was postponed. Only lower cost
private apartments and houses will
be considered in arriving at the
prevailing wage.
Mr.. Grodsky said he had con-
ferred with builders regarding the
type of evidence he desires This
will be submitted to union leaders
for consideration before resumption
of the hearing. In this way. Mr.
Grodsky hopes to eliminate many
controversial issues.
