gineers and Technicians, today said
his union would strike in protest
against a ruling by James c. Pc
trillo, president of American Fed

demands in order to make more jobs
for his union.
On May 8 Mr.. Powley said the dis
pute was brought to the attention
Of the National Labor Relations
Board, NABET claiming unfair la
Dor practices. Mr.. Powley added he
declared his intention of calling a
strike within 80 days unless the case
was settled.
The case was cited to the War La
Dor Board Saturday and today is
being heard in Washington, where
representatives of NABET, Amer
lean Federations of Musicians and
broadcasting companies are in con-
ference.
Mr.. Powley asserted the dispute
involves 10 major radio stations on

bassy here today after resigning
the Ecuadorean presidency un-

Senator'S Plan Action
Monday on Limit for
Pearl Harbor Trials
By the Associated Press,

Rear Admiral Husband E. Kim
mel's demand for an early trial in
connection with the military dis
aster at Pearl Harbor has height
ened limit on the beginning of pro-
ceedings
Senator Ferguson, Republican of
Michigan, laid before the Senate
Judiciary Committee yesterday a
letter from Admiral Kimmel in
which he declared the whole story
of Pearl Harbor" has not been told,
and asked for an open trial at the
earliest practicable date.
The committee decided to act
Monday on Senator Ferguson's reso-
luton fixing September 8 as the
deadline for starting the trial.
Meanwhile, the House Rules Com
mittee approved measure direct
ing" that both Admiral Kimmel and
Maj. Gen. Walter c. Short and any
others charged with responsibility
for what happened at Pearl Harbor
be tried before June Z, 1945.
Says Report Didn't Tell All.
Admiral Kimmel's letter said:
For two and half years I have
waited for the Navy Department to
bring me to trial. The report of
the Roberts Commission does not
tell the whole story of Pearl Har-
bor."
He referred to the presidential
commission headed by Supreme
Court Justice Owen j. Roberts,
which made a study of the Pearl
Harbor disaster and reported:
"The japanese attack was a COM
plete surprise to the commanders
and they failed to make suitable
dispositions to meet such an attack.
Each failed properly to evaluate the
seriousness Of the situation"
Admiral Kimmel, writing from
Bronxville, N. Y, declared he was
barred from some hearings before
the Roberts Commission and said:
For more than two years was
Kept in the dark as to what went on
at those hearings"
Letter to Knox Revealed,
Senator Ferguson also released a
copy Of a letter Admiral Kimmel
wrote to the late Secretary of the
Navy Knox on September Z, 1943, in
which he said:
Delay In the matter is opposed to
my personal interest, since the pas
sage OF time and the circumstances
and casualties of war and of the
period following may make 1t diff
cult, perhaps impossible, to assemble
and produce the evidence and the
witnesses required.
Il have at all times been anxious
to subordinate my own interests to
the national welfare, which appears
to require that my trial be delayed" !"
Accompanying this letter was a
waiver Of the statute OF limitations.
The admiral said he did not sign
the waiver in the form submitted to
him by the Secretary, but changed it
to assure that my hearing would be
in open court"

State laws now look to social
security. He added:
During the past year various
proposals have been before Congress
seeking major changes in existing
Federal social security legislation
Underlying all these is the philoso-
ply that the Federal Government
should assume more and more
authority in this field. In two
important phases, the present State
programs would be completely
federalized."
Points to Proposals.
These bills propose to broaden
the coverage and liberalize the
benefits under Federal old age and
survivors insurance. They provide
for a new Federal program covering
permanent disability benefits. a Fed
eral program covering temporary
disability, a Federal system for
medical care and disqualification.
"Our present State systems of
unemployment compensation would
be superseded by national system
paying benefits on a uniform basis.
The employment services loaned"
on an emergency" basis at the
request Of the President would
never be returned to the States.
To thoughtful citizens, anxious
to maintain their governmental
system as 1t was originally con-
ceived. the foregoing proposals
contain at least three dangerous
elements:
First, the Federal Government
would be extending its social serv-
ices into fields never before invaded.
Second, there would be no proper
division between States and Fed
eral authority-~in fact, :. State
participation would be practically
eliminated. .s7
Third, the already overtaxed
public might not be able to stand
the additional financial burden !

Landon, Taft, Austin
Leading Contenders
To Head Platform Unit
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Pres& II r
A battle for the craftsmanship OF
the Republican Platform Commit
tee showed signs of developing to-
day, with factions lining up behind
ALT M. Landon, the 1886 presidential
nominee; Senator Taft of Ohio and
Senator Austin of Vermont.
The resolutions group, made up
of two convention delegates from
each State, will meet in Chicago
one week in advance of the June 26
presidential nominating convention
to elect officers and begin hearings
On proposed platform planks.
Active Campaigning Under Way.
While the committee may well
decide to pick chairman who has
not been identified too closely with
such controversial issues as inter-
national postwar collaboration,
there already is active campaigning
under way for Mr.. Landon and
Senators Taft and Austin.
Mr.. Landon has urged that the
Republicans and Democrats adopt
identical foreign policy planks to
eliminate this issue from the cam
paign. Senator Taft has said the
Republicans ought to lay major en-
phaSis on domestic problems. Sem
ator Austin represents the viewpoint
of those who urge about interna-
tional collaboration in the postwar
world.
While Mr.. Landon was one of the
early supporters of Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York for the presi-
dental nomination, there have been
no indications that Gov. Dewey is
taking any hand IN the chairman
ship race.
Dewey Has Suggestions.
The New York Governor, the
leading prospect now for the nomi-
nation, said this week he expected
to have some suggestions for the
COP platform eff consulted" and
Senator Austin told reporter he
thought that any proposals Gov.
Dewey may have should be consid-
cred by the committee, if for no
other reason than that he is a |
member of the COP Postwar Ad-
visory Council.
Senator Taft, who is supporting
Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio for
the nomination, said he had no
doubt that Gov. Dewey and other
prospective candidates would be
consulted about the platform, but |
added that the committee itself |
would make the final decisions.
