alton of seven American divisions
from a northern bulge In Soviet

Group headquarters.
One of the divisions to be with
drawn is the 9th Armored, which

the agreement, the withdrawal will
be in three phases with the Amer

answered the War Labor Boards
back-to-work order by declaring his

into its seventh day, c. v. Wheeler,
Goodyear local president, in a tele-
gram last night to the WLB de-
clared, This Is a case of Govern
ment machinery totally failing to
meet the situation"
Goodyear Local No. 2 tabled the
no-strike pledge when it was re-
ferred to the local for ratification. u
Mr.. Wheeler said, land this is not
a case of the willingness or un-
willingness of local officers to end
the strike.
The Fifth Regional WLB had at
least go days Of notice of impending
crisis but that agency gave
no assistance. Experience with this
(Goodyear) company should have
indicated that Government concilia-

Baby Broker Act
Change Approved

The Commissioners yesterday
agreed to change in the regula-
tions of the so-called baby broker
act to pave the way for licensing
the Catholic Charities as a child
placement agency.
The Public Welfare Board report
ed previously that it was unable to
recommend license for Catholic
Charities because it did not qualify
under a rule requiring the governing
board Of child placement agency
to select its own executive.
The board explained that Catholic
tradition called for the archbishop
to appoint the officer directing char
tiles In any diocese. The Commis-
sioners agreed to change the regu-
lations to merely require "a quail
fed executive" without specifying
the manner in which he is to be
chosen.
The change was recommended by
Mrs. Radford Moses, member of the
Public Welfare Board and chairman
of the Committee on Rules and
Regulations for the act.
Because immediate operation of
the Catholic Charities is restricted
by inability to comply with the
present regulation, it is requested
that the Commissioners at this time
approve the proposed change" Mrs.
Moses informed the Commissioners.
Mrs. Moses committee is now re-
viewing the regulations as required
once year by the act, but the work
has not been completed.

On the Santa Paula was Maj. Du-
ane w. Beeson Of Boise, Idaho, who

Pension Hearings
To Resume Tuesday

Hearings on the Norton bill to
permit members of Congress to be-
come eligible for the Federal retire.
ment system will be resumed Tues
day morning before the Randolph
subcommittee of the House Civil
Service Committee.
The sessions were recessed yes
terday after the first opposition was
registered against the plan. 1t came
from Representative Smith, Repub-
lican, of Ohio who warned that
Government paternalism ultimately
will result in enslavement of the
people"
Hitting at bureaucracy in general
and the social security program in
particular, Mr.. Smith said that's
what happened in Germany. We
are travelling the same route"
Though members of Congress
would be required to make back
payments for past years of service
to become eligible, Mr.. Smith in
sisted it still would be a pension
bill at least as to the contributions
to the retirement fund made by the
Government. 1t had been brought
out earlier that while Government
workers now in the system con-
tribute 5 per cent of their pay
toward the fund, the Government
pays nearly 6 per cent.
Representative Manasco, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, who was presid-
ing, asked Mr.. Smith if he would be
opposed to the bill if it were not
made effective until the opening of
the next Congress, in 1947. He said
he would, but that If the measure
were passed it should be done after
the war and after the plan had been
announced before the next congress

World Labor Group
OPENS Session With
Pledge From Truman
BY the Associated Press.

QUEBEC, Quebec, June 22.-The
32-man Directing Committee of the
International Labor Organization
opened business discussions at its
95th session today with assurance
of continued full support of the
LILO by the United States under
President Truman.
This assurance, given by Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins in
the main address of formal open
ing ceremonies late yesterday, was
regarded as significant in connec-
ton with the role the ILO is to
play in the new world security Or
ganization being formed at San
Francisco.
The subject is to be discussed with
submission of the report Of the Com
mittee on Constitutional Questions,
perhaps late today or tomorrow.
Encouraged by Assurance.
The British delegation at San
Francisco favored mentioning the
ILO specifically in connection with
the economic and social committee
of the proposed world security or
ganization; Russia, not a member
of the ILO, and the United States
opposed it.
Those favoring the British view
were encouraged by Secretary Per-
kins' assurance that the United
States would give strong support"
to the ILO and wanted it to work
in cooperation with the proposed
general organization.
"The President hopes" she said,
that the ILO will be able to pursue
its activities in cooperative rela-
tionship with the proposed general
organization of the United Nations
under arrangements providing suffi-
cient autonomy to permit of its
putting forth its greatest effort.
Real Voice in World Policy.
''It is the settled policy of the
United States Government to seek
for the ILO a proper place within
the framework of the co-ordinated
effort of the United Nations. Un-
der such arrangements, the Presi-
dent noted, the voices of industry
and labor, as expressed through the
ILO, would continue to be real
voices in the determination of
world policy"
Miss Perkins declared that Amer
ican policy was aimed at an ex-
panding economy, full employment
and a minimum of controls on both
capital and labor.
The governing body, comprised of
16 representatives of government,
eight of employers groups and eight
of labor organizations from. score
of countries, is scheduled to meet
through next Tuesday or Wednes-
day. It's general program is to lay
the groundwork for a full ILO con-
ference to be held in Paris in Sep
tember.

Bill Adopted by Senate

After making a major amend

Of new employees, the Senate yes

permit the Veterans Administration
to expand its personnel and Office
space to meet its increased work
load. The bill now goes back to
the House for action on the Senate
change.
The provision deleted by the Sen
ate had been opposed in the House
by Chairman Ramspeck of the Civil
Service Committee on the ground 1t
would wreck the morale" of the
Government service by setting up
differentials beyond the general
veterans preference rules.
This section would have permitted
the hiring Of employees without re-
gard to civil service laws and grant
them pay at the maximum of the
salary for the grade of position
The section would apply for the

Lumber

In some kind of internal manage
ment of lumber supplies, similar tc
that exercised over leather and some
other materials by the Combined
British Canadian-American Raw
Materials Board.
WPB does not yet know how much
less lumber big American industries
will need as a result of declining
munitions orders. Reports are being
asked, and WPB plans to resurvey
the returns by mid-July. Then il
may be possible to boost the alloca-
ton to non-priority users-home
owners, farmers, stores, apartment
operators, commercial buildings and
non-essential factories.
Lumber production-now running
10k per cent under 1944-is so fal
behind estimated requirements, how.
ever, that WPB Chairman j. A
Krug has warned it may interfere
directly with the prosecution of the
war against Japan. In such case
civilians can expect little relief.
Nevertheless, WPB has approved
priority for a 100000, 900 industrial
construction program, to help man.
ufacturers enlarge and alter their
plants for return to peacetime
production and employment.
The manpower shortage remains
the biggest obstacle to increased
lumber production, according to in.
dustry groups.
WPB and the War Manpowel
Commission disagree on the number
of men needed in the woods anc
mills. Accepting in ndustry figures
WPB puts it at $4,000; VINO, bas-
ing its estimate on actual calls 70,
