Unions Win DELAY"
In Veterans Unit
Closed Shop Curb
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

Action on bill providing that no
veteran be required to join a labor
union as a condition Of employ
ment was deferred by the House
Veterans Committee today on the
assurance Of Veterans Administra-
tor Frank T. Hines that labor or
ganizations were working out the
problems involved.
The bill, introduced by Chairman
Rankin, would allow veteran In
junctive relief in the Federal courts
If barred from a job because he did
not belong to a union.
Gen. Hines told the committee
that both the AFL and the CIO
were making plans to protect the
seniority rights Of veterans during
their absence from industry.
Virtually all unions Of both or
ganizations and also the United
Mine Workers, he said. agreed to
waive the initial fee and back dues
for veterans.
Gen. Hines said he conferred with
Philip Murray. head Of the CIO,
and William Green. AFL president,
and found both officials cooperative
in wanting to protect veterans. He
promised to report back to the COM
mittee after further conferences
with labor leaders.
The committee yesterday heard
Harold w. Beining. assistant vet
Grams administrator, testify that
only about one-third Of the vet
Grams who apply for Government
guaranteed loans under the GI Bill
Of Rights get them.
Mr.. Beining, emphasizing that he
was expressing only his personal
opinion, agreed with several COM
mittee members that one way of
simplifying the loan procedure and
making it more workable was to
give greater authority to the local
lending agency. He said he would
favor allowing the banker or other
lender to pass on the loan, with the
Veterans Administration supervis-
ing 1t only in a general way.
This, however, Mr.. Beining point
ed out, would not necessarily make
1t easier for the veteran to obtain
this credit. Many veterans, he said,
apply without understanding the
law, thinking all they have to do
Is ask for the money. Under the
law the Government guarantees up
to $4,000 on each approved loan,
and the lender must underwrite any
additional amount.

De GauIIe Bids Britain
Join in Ending Levant
Dispute Amicab|y
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June Frances
Consultative Assembly and Gen.
Charles de Gaulle yesterday ex-
stended the olive branch to Brit
ain on the Syrian dispute in a
surprising finale to an acri-
.monibus debate between the
French leader and Pierre Cot, a
former French cabinet minister.
In a speech to the assembly Gen.
de Gaulle proposed that France and
Britain settle the Levantine prob
lem between themselves, and said a
solution would be found without
rifflculty."
The assembly then adopted reso-
luton calling on the government to
redouble its efforts toward conclu-
sion of a Franco British treaty
along the lines of Frances treaty
with Russia.
1t was the first step France had
taken to ease the tension that arose
three weeks ago when British
troops were ordered into Syria with
orders to halt forcibly the violence
that had developed between French
forces and Syrians.
Friendship Stressed.
{ Gen de Gaulle said yesterday:
SLet us seek a solution worthy of us
and let it conform to the friendship
we bear for England. A solution can
be found without difficulty in a
mutual effort by Britain and France
which would satisfy international
harmony"
:. At the same time, however, the
general again rejected Prime Min
lister Churchill's proposal for a
three-power conference on Syria.
and in effect reiterated his wish
for flve-poWer talks.
GA British Foreign Office COM
mentator in London said today
that Britain took the view that
the French-Syrian dispute should
be settled "as soon as possible"
in the interest of all parties con-
cerned, including the French, but
stood patton the British conten-
tion that the question was one for
tri-power discussions.
Gle declared that Britain re
grets" any suggestion tending to
delay solution and added that
an increase in the number of
participating powers would tend
to prolong discussions
The gesture toward the British
did not come, however, until after
Gen. de Gaulle, stung by the harsh
est criticism yet leveled against
his handling of the Syrian dispute,
had tangled heatedly with Cot.
Cot Is Sarcastic.
In voice cold with sarcasm, Cot.
q member of the assembly and one
time minister of commerce, lashed
out against those who had attacked
Mr.. Churchill's intervention in the
Syrian fighting and demanded that
the French governments policies be
changed.
"We reproach Mr.. Churchill for
having taken a little too much in
terest in our affairs in Syria" Cot
said. But if Mr.. Churchill, at a
certain period, had not taken an in
terest in our affairs, Gen. de Gaulle
would not have been able to make
his appeal in 1910"
Gen. de Gaulle rose to his feet
and thundered: You say nothing
of the conditions under which we
went to Syria in 1941. You say
nothing of what we have done there.
Can you forget everything we
have done there, the great things
we have accomplished? The Syrian
people themselves have not for
gotten. They feel deeply their in
debtedness."
