three or more outstanding citizens,
and should be directed to make a
thorough Investigation of all the
facts which 1t deems relevant in the
controversy In its investigation, it
should have full power to subpoena
individuals and records, and should
be authorized to call upon any Gov
ernment agency for information or
assistance. 1t should make its re-
port within 20 days, unless the date
is extended with the agreement of
the parties and with the approval OF
the President. The report should
include the finding of the facts and
such recommendations as the board
deems appropriate.
while the fact-finding board Is
celebrating and for five days there
after, it should be made unlawful
to call a strike or lockout, or to
make change in rates Of pay. hours,
or working conditions, or in the es-
tablished practices, except by agree
ment"
The President stressed that the
disputants would not be legally
bound to accept the findings or fol-
low the recommendations of the
fact finding board, but he said the
general public would know all the
facts.
The result, I am sure, would be
that in most cases both sides would
accept the recommendation as they
have in most of the railway labor
disputes" he said.
The President expressed the opin-
ion that the procedure he proposes
Evening star., 1945-12-03

should be used sparingly and only
when the national public interest
requires 1t.
The measures In this extent
squares up with the Railway Labor.
Act except In that legislation there
Is 30-day period prescribed for
the Fact-finding Board to operate
and that both sides are supposed
to maintain the status quo for 80
days after the board has reported.
Il hope that the Congress will ap-
prove the steps which I am now
taking" the President said as he
summed up his program.
They are being taken in the in
terest OF, accelerating our produc-
tion, promoting our reconyersion
program, and pushing forward to a
higher standard OF living"
Labor has consistently opposed
the application of the principles of
the 20-year-old Railway Labor Act
to disputes In other lines and has
been particularly bitter against the
so-called Hatch Burton Ball bill
which follows the act in many
respects but also provides the COM
pulsory arbitration In certain in
stances.
Arbitration Provision.
The Railway Labor Act includes
an arbitration provision. but both
sides must agree to arbitration be-
fore they can be bound by that prin-
ciple of settlement.
In presenting his program today,
the President said the legislation he
was suggesting should pay par
ticular attention to the needs of
seasonal industries, SO that the So
called cooling OF periods can be
arranged in those industries in a
manner which will not subject labor
to undue disadvantage"
The President expressed regret
that the labor management confer
ence had not been able to agree on
a program to solve existing strikes
in the major industries and head of
threatened strikes. He said that
strikes already in effect may pos
sibly cripple our reconversion pro-
gram"
THE American people have been
patient" he said. They have
waited long in the hope that those
leaders in labor and management
whose business it was to handle this
program would be able to do so in
agreement. The Federal Govern
ment declined time and time again
to make any suggestion to the con-
ference as to proper machinery. All
that the Government did was to
point out the objective which the
American people expected it to at
tain.
Now that the conference has ad-
journed without any recommenda-
ton on the subject, it becomes the
duty of the Government to act on
its own initiative. Therefore, I now
suggest to the Congress that we'll
reasoned and workable legislation
be passed at the earliest possible
moment to provide adequate means
for settling industrial disputes and
avoiding industrial strife"

A conference planned by the Ma

Christmas. an agency official said
today.
The meeting will be a small one,
bringing together representatives of

a rapid increase in residential con-
struction in 1916.
The conference was announced in
a statement yesterday by Mr.. Bland

ular attention to the needs of sea-
sonal industries, so that the So
called "cooling-off periods" can be
arranged in those industries in a
manner which will not subject labor
to an undue disadvantage.
There are other subjects which
were on the agenda of the Labor
Management Conference, on which
no agreement was reached. The
most immediate, the most pressing
however, is this one of machinery.
I hope that the Congress will act
upon this matter as quickly as pos
sible-and certainly before It's
Christmas recess.
In order to avoid any delay in
the settlement of the most impor-
tant existing strikes l am appoint
ing such Fact-flnding Board for
the present stoppage in the dispute
between General Motors Corp. and
the United Automobile Workers
While this board will not have the
statutory powers which I hope the
Congress will authorize, I am sure
that the American people will ex-
pect the employer and the en-
ployes to cooperate with the board
as fully as If appropriate legislation
had already been passed.
In the meantime, am asking both
parties to the dispute to display the
same kind Of patriotism as they dis
played during the war, I am asking
all the workers to return to work
Immediately, and I am asking the
employers to proceed energetically
with full production. I make this
appeal on behalf of the American
people to their fellow citizens who
are now responsible for this ma jor
obstacle holding up our reconversion
program.
Appoints Steel Board.
In connection with the threatened
strike involving the United States
Steel Corp. and the United Steel
Workers, I am appointing a similar
board. The public will expect full
cooperation with the board by both
sides. I am making the same appeal
to the United Steel Workers to re-
main at work pending the report OF
the boards findings and recommen-
dations.

ing. They are being taken in tn.
interest of accelerating our produc.

program and pushing forward to {
higher standard Of living.
This is an immediate program
which is fair to both sides. I hop,
that the Congress, naturally disap.
pointed at the failure of labor anc
management to agree upon a solu
ton for the prevention Of industria
disputes. will not adopt repressiv,
or coercive measures against either
side. A free American labor and s
free American private enterprise are
essential to our free democratic sys.
tenn. Legislation which would stiff,
full freedom of collective bargaining
on either side would be backward
step which the American peopl,
would not tolerate.

Drug 10 Ease Asthma,
Hay Fever Discovered
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The Univer-
sity of Illinois College of Medi-
cine announced yesterday discov-
cry of a new drug which it said
brings marked symptomatic relief"
from hay fever, asthma and other
common allergies.
The rug, benadryl, was discovered
by DR.. Earl R. Lowe, associate pro-
fessor of pharmacology, and has
been tested on both animals and
humans.
The new drugs function is to
prevent the ill effects of histamine
"a chemical released from the body
cells during an allergic attack. The
announcement, saying histamine "is
considered" the cause of the al
lergic symptoms, pointed out that
the drug was not cure and that
three doses day would be re-
quired for continuous relief Of
symptoms.
DR.. Loew said studies conducted
at the university with human SUBJ
jects proved the value of the new
drug in minimizing allergic re-
sponSes to histamine"
The new drug, effective by mouth,
has not been released for general
use, DR.. Loew said.

will be followed by John Blandford,
National Housing Administrator
and Chester Bowles, chief Of the

Considerable opposition to the
Patman plan seemed assured. Rep
resentative Hebert, democrat, OF
Louisiana, characterized the pro-
posal as ''the first signpost on the
road to permanent regimentation Of
American lives" Talking to . re-
porter, he added:
This plan for q housing car is
merely an expression Of the real
thoughts and purposes Of Chester
Bowles to perpetuate himself and
his administration in power over

British Loan Decision
Likely This Week 10
Speed World Trade
BY the Associated Press,


A decision on whether Britain
is to get a billion dollar loan
from the United States is virtually
certain this week.
Both British and American on
cials feel successful end to their
l2-week-old discussion must come
within the next few meetings II the
entire postwar trade and financial
structure, now envisioned for the
world, is to be put into effect.
Unless concrete agreement is
forthcoming shortly. they feel there
will not be enough time left for
Britain to ratify the Breton Woods
agreement by the December 81 dead
line If Britain does not join the
other nations of the world in this
organization, its success is extremely
unlikely.
Attlee Considers Proposals.
I'm London Prime Minister
Attlee and his cabinet today con-
sidered final proposals under
which the United States would
make a loan to Britain.
"Details were not disclosed, but
it was understood that the prin-
cipal difference remaining was
whether Britain could waive in
terest payments if she expert
enced bad year" financially.
(Under a tentative proposal
the Breton Woods Council would
sit as a third party to determine,
what would be considered bad
year" Acceptance of this pro-
posal would be conditional on
British ratification OF the Bret
ton Woods agreement.)
Some Progress Reported.
In an effort to resolve their diff
ferences, top British and American
conferees met for six hours yester-
day in an intensive review of prog
ress to date. A British spokesman
afterward said some progress" had
been made and that he was "opti-
mistic" that an agreement would be
reached this week.
Previous information has made it
clear that Britain desires $4,000 ,000.-
600 instead of the So, SOC, 900 900
offered by the American side and
favorable terms for winding up
lease-lend and purchasing of sew
eral hundred million dollars worth
Of surplus American property
abroad.
The position of Britains esti-
mated $4,000, 900 900 debt to the
sterling bloc countries has caused
the most troublesome negotiations,
with American officials insisting that
Britain's debtors help by slashing
the size of British obligations.
U. s. Wants Definite Stand.
British delegates are reported will
ing to ask for such reductions, but
feel they cannot commit themselves
on a definite amount.
American officials, on the other
hand, feel positive indication Of
amount is necessary in order to de-
termine exactly how much Britain
needs and the terms for such as
sistance.
Because of their desire to pre-
vent a congressional rebuff, Ameri-
can negotiators have insisted that a
"a per cent interest rate 60 with
the loan. They have consistently re-
fused all British efforts to get .
lower rate.

Margin Of Profit Set.
A builder would be allowed "a full
legal price" on his materials and
services, plus current labor costs
plus the same margin of profit that
was made on comparable construc-
ton in 1941.
Any builder caught making an
excessive profit. over and above
that enjoyed by the industry in

ages from the purchaser for three
times the amount of the excess
profit"
