On nTheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick STATES RIGHTS A PHONEY

Proof that the indignant defend CTS of states rights were pure phOneys in the fight over unem- plOyment compensation is found in the easy Senate acceptance of the Barkley amendment by which the federal government forces the states to accept U. s. extension of benefit payments up to 25 weeks.
 Here the Senate, by a vote of 61 to I6, agreed that if state is not willing to extend benefits to job- less individuals at the regular state rate up to 26 weeks, the federal government will do it for them.
 That is a simple invasion of the states right to permit jobless folk to go hungry yet only 16 of the stand-pat tories in the Senate held firm against the amendment
 What the Senate conservatives actu- ally wanted-and what they won-was the elimination of the provision lifting the maximum payments to $25 week with the U. s. to pay the difference between the states benefit and the higher figure. This $25 business was lost by humping 51 to 2o vote.
 ECONOMY THREATENED"
 All of the shouting over the $25 maximum was based on a fear that it would give that sum to workers who earned over $50 a week during the war. Some Senators pretended to be- lieve that the $25 would be universal for all jobless workers and Chairman Walter F. George (D., Ga.) of the Finance Committee admitted on the floor that the $25 figure might threaten the economy of the Southern States"
 Present state unemployment compensation laws have maximum payments running from SIS to $25 week, with Arizona, Arkansas, Tennessee and Montana as exam ples of the lower payment, and Washington as the only state with the higher one. Some I6 states have a $2O maximum, including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minne- sOta, Pennsylvania, and California. New York has $21.
 In order to demonstrate the false position of the conservatives on the claim that $25 would have gone to every jobless worker, few examples are in order.
The union times., 1945-09-29

lake Washington a step further ot those who are now drawing the top $25 a week figure, all would continue getting that sum under the law the Senate defeated. But in California only '84% of those drawing $2O now would be advanced to $25; in Mich igan those getting $20 in benefits now would see 88.5% get the $25 figure. In Minnesota only 6o9o of those now getting the $2O would advance to $25, in Montana it would be just 62%o.
 STANDPATTERS
 On any list of stand-patters against labor must. go the names of the Senators who voted both against allowing the $2OO allow .ance (which was adOpted) and the mandatory 26 weeks provision, which also passed. They are: Sens. Harry F. Byrd (D., Va.), Albert Chandler O., Ky.), Bourke Hic- kenloOper (R., Ia.), John McCleI- Ian O., Ark.), W. Lee O'Daniel O.. Tex.), Kenneth Wherry (R., Neb.), Allen Ellender O., La.), Chan Curney (R., s. D., Josiah Bailey O., N. O., and George A. Wilson (R., Ia.).
 To these should be added the four others who opposed the 26 week provisO in the Senate bill: Charles o. Andrews O., FIa)., Ed win Johnson O., CoIo.), John Overton O., La.), and Tom Stew art (D., Tenn.). All but Overton voted for the % week extension after George and Majority Leader Alben Barkley took the floor in its favor. Overton simply didn't vote.

 UNLIKE some C. I. O. unions which have been rushing into the headlines, many A. F. of L. unions have negotiated substantial pay boosts without fanfare since wage controls were eased.
 For example, the International Association of Machinists this week revealed that many of its locals in machine shops and other plants have won raises ranging up to IS cents an hour in unpublished col lective bargaining. And these in- creases, the union said, are only a starter for more to come.

Government Action
In Labor Disputes
Remains Uncertain
Coal PorIey ColIopses;
WLB Urges Special Board
On Wages and Prices
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Collapse of efforts to end the
still-spreading coal strike and
failure of a White House confer
ence to devise machinery to set
tie industrial disputes involving
demands for higher wages and
prices today left future Govern
ment action uncertain in two
fields vital to reconversion.
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
announced late last night that the
coal industry conference he called
in an effort to end the strike in
the bituminous fields had been ad-
journed indefinitely after 10 fruit
less days of discussion. He said
mine operators rejected five settle
ment proposals, including three he
himself made. Miners Boss John
L. Lewis accepted four of them.
Already more than 10000 miners
were idle because of the strike over
Mr.. Lewis demand of recognition of
mis- union of mine supervisors, but
Mr.. Schwellenbach said the Govern
ment had no plans to seize the mines.
He explained he would not consider
seizure of struck properties "as long
as the negotiations are adjourned
only subject to call"
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
discussed the coal tieup with Pres
ident Truman today and told re-
porters as he left the White House
that the country is in for very
serious trouble" if the strike isn't
settled by next week.
He said production already is off
about so per cent and that the STOP
page is beginning to hurt now
The Secretary said, however, that he
opposes Government seizure of the
mines as a remedy.
WLB Balks at New Cases.
President %Truman called mem
bers of the War Labor Board to his
Office to discuss ways of handling
labor disputes. Reports emanating
from the conference said the board
argued against the Presidents re-
quest that it handle new dispute
cases with a view to setting a new
wage policy and minimizing indus
trial troubles.
In place of WLB, the members
suggested that Mr.. Truman appoint
a special commission to study the
whole field of wages and prices

Truman Asks Congress
To Act on Puerto Rico
hy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Truman recommended
to Congress today that it take steps
to ascertain whether the people
of Puerto Rico desire full inde-
pendence.
In a message to Congress he pro-
posed legislation giving Puerto Rice
the choice of:
1.-The election of their own gov
ernor with a wider measure of local
government: 2-Statehood; 3-Com-
plete independence; A dominion
form of government.
At the same time, the President
declared Congress should not submit
any proposals to the Puerto Ricans
which it sis not prepared to enact
finally into law"
I'VE should be prepared to carry
Into effect whatever options are
placed before the people of Puerto
Rico, once the Puerto Ricans have
expressed their preference" he said.
BY submitting alternative pro-
posals to the people, the President
asserted. Congress "can ascertain
what the people of Puerto Rico
themselves most desire for their DO
litical future"

said, "but real and honest efforts

living conditions for these perse-
cuted people until they can be per-
manently resettled in other areas.
The Harrison report, based on a
July survey, condemned lack of
housing facilities and said refugees
were poorly fed and clothed. He
said these homeless people were
being retained in former concen-
tration camps and summed up by
declaring "as matters now stand.
We appear to be treating the Jews
as the Nazis treated them except
that We do not exterminate them.
They are in concentration camps

guard instead of SIS troops"
After receipt of the report, Mr..

to institute cleanup" and said
housing of German civilians should
be requisitioned whenever necessary

Proposed as Result Of Call for Break With

Senator Walsh Offers
Plan as Alternative to
Army-Nuvy Merger
BY the Associated Press.

oS tilt ASsOCldItQ FTe6S.
Gen. MacArthur's radio plea
for complete integration of the
Nations armed services has
prompted Chairman Walsh of
the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee to propose a council of
national defense.
Senator Walsh today suggested
the Secretaries of State, War and
Navy as members, with the Presi-
dent running the show as COM
mander in chief.
The proposal came as an alter
native to merger of the Army and
Navy. Most legislators thought Gen
Macarthur, in his address from
Tokyo last night, was talking a
merger of this kind when he told
the world:
THE great lesson for the future
is that success in the art of war
depends upon a complete lnJegra-
tion of the services. In unity will
lie military strength.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, told a reporter that as
he sees it the only way complete
integration" can be obtained would
be through the creation of single
military department.
Senator johnson is acting chair
man of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, which begins hearings
tomorrow on such proposal. Sec
retary of War Patterson will be the
first witness.

dation and there have been some
