|LoborUnrest ProbeAsked
 By ySen0tors

Washington, May 15-(UP)-A group of pro-labor Senators today sought to avert rigid anti-strike legislation by proposing an investi- gation of causes of current labor unrest.
 The plan centered on a resolution introduced Feb. 6 by Sen. Harley M. Kilgore, (D-W.Va), which would authorize such an inquiry by the Senate Labor Committee.
 It would include an investigation of economic and other factors in- volved in labor unrest as well as governmental policies affecting the situation.
 Chairman James F. Murray, D.- Mont), called his Labor Committee into special session today to con- Sider the Kilgore resolution. He ex- pected prompt committee approval and sand he would seek similarly speedy action from the full Senate.
 Although the Kilgore resolution would not necessarily diSplace pending labor legislation on the Senate floor, it would give pro-labor forces 8 strong argument to defer action on any drastic labor bills until the investigation was com- pleted.
 It was in line with the arguments of Murray and his associates that the' Senate cannot act wisely on the pending anit-strike proposals without full facts.
 We feel that it is dangerous for the Senate to try to legislate while the coal strike is in progress" Mur- ray said. Tt would only create more bitterness and industrial strife than We have today"
 Murray described Senators. who attended yesterdays meeting as men interested in sound, conStruc- tive legislation who will not be carried away by the emotions of the moment"

 the strike had been scheduled for tomorrow. This would probably mean resumption of production at 4. B. c. plants in the three cities on Monday.
 Grievance procedure and manage ment clauses are among the princi- pal issues at Buffalo and Detroit.
 We expected we could trust them said Mir. Driscoll," but now they are insisting on the same s1llion-busting tactics over grievance and management clauses that held UT contract settlements here"
 Union and management negoti- ators, after nine consecutive days of parleys, early Sunday morning announced they had reached agree unent on terms of 8 new contract. They had been brought together by Q. s. Conciliator Walter A. Mag giclo after three previous settle ment efforts by him had failed.
 At meetings Sunday, M.M.S.W. locals in Waterbury, Torrington and Ansonia voted approval of the settlement terms after they had been outlined verbally.
 New meetings of the locals were subsequently, set for today, with ratification of the contract in its final written form to be voted. The union completed its draft of the terms yesterday morning and received the companyis draft yes- terday afternoon.
 The strike of 10000 AB!C. em- ployes in the three Connecticut cities began Feb. 4. The Buffalo division of American Brass was shut down by a strike the same day. At the Detroit plant, where workers have the United Auto Workers Union as their bargaining agent, the strike began in March. International Representative John Porcu and George Cunningham, secretary of Local 251, went to Buffalo Monday to sit in as observ- CTS at the contract negotiations there. Both are members of the Connecticut negotiating committee.

KyOto. Japan. May l5-(UP)-- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower ysster- day told American troops stationed in Japan that the work they are doing still is part of the war and asked them to keep up that Amer ican grim"
 Eisenhower made .his remarks at q ceremonial review at Osaka, one of several places he stopped on a daylong tour of military inspections in Western Japan.
 The work you are doing is neces- sary for your country" he said. We went to war for certain purposes and they have not yet been achieved.
 To Suhdue Threats
 '@The big job for the United States is to see that threat such as the Axis posed cannot rise again in the world"
 Praising the Tanks for their work in the occupation, Eisenhower said he himself wanted to thank every single man. He exhorted CTS to keep that American grin going the grin that wins battles"
 At press conference on the train, Eisenhower said that morale of the troops with few exceptions was far above what I expected"
 'The Army is on the upgrade" he said. Efficiency has passed the low point"
 Eisenhower said the only gripes he heard were about the food and said this would be remedied as soon as the Army can get better cooks to replace those mustered out.
 Recreation At Peak
 He described recreation facilities as completely marvellous" and said they compared favorably with those in Germany.
 He said the first thing he planned to do on his return to Washington was to study the strength of occu- patton forces from the cost &C., counting standpoint" He said there was no point in keeping man ito guard some old surplus equipment we're not going to use"
 During trip to Kobe, Eisenhow- CT saw 22,000 Army vehicles, mostly jeepS, piled up in a large stadium gathering rust.
 T am much better grounded in my thinking now that I have seen what goes on out here," he said. We're going to draw conclusions from both the European and Pacific Wars.",

 Misses Arrest
 If I'd only been in the market for a fine malacca cane with a sword inside, 1t would have been a bargain at $4. Francesca said he thought I ought to get it. He said it would be handy in case of bandittt. He also said how about us getting on with our sightseeing?
 I held on tight while he careened over holes in the pavement, and we got to the Forum Romano where there were the remains of buildings erected BC. There also were some guys making speeches at each other. They seemed sore. Just politicos, Francesca said. Pay 'em no attention. I took his advice and this was a mistake. Later on the police arrested the whole she bang and wasn't there to see 'em. I was looking at monuments.
 The one honoring the abdicated kings father is magnificent. Fran 0esco said so. I still claim 1t looked like 8 wedding cake with troop of golden horses on top.
 Disappointed in Balcony
 The place at Venezia palace where Musso used to howl down from his balcony to niobs was a grave disappointment to me. It's not nearly so big as the newsreels indicated. It's in use now as an AL lied Army car park.
 I got to talking to guard, who said he certainly wished he were back in Chicago. Where it's not so dusty" he said. As for the balcony of the Musso, I must report 1t is an undersized job, barely big enough for two people if they hold their breaths. Furthermore 1t was locked.
 I'd have liked to have fieDed my muscles on 1t, but they'd gone limp. anyhow, riding with the Fearless Francesca.

Cabbie Races
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Rome, May IS ! (UP) - No New York taxi ever will scare me again. I've been seeing the sights with Fearless Francesca, the driver of the oflce jeep, who believes in giving pedestrians, 8 sporting chance.
 He blows his horn at 'em.
 The idea was to look over hunk of ancient Roman aqueduct, take a squint at a History marble birth day cake with gold trimmings erected ir honor of the father of the Little King who doesn't live here any more, and maybe stamp my feet on Mussolini's private bal- cony.
 I figured without Francesca. He tramped on the gas and we roared down the CorsO Umberto, scatter ing his fellow Romans like bantam chickens. Francesca barred his white teeth in a smile, indicating he was at peace with the world. He was amazed when I insisted that he halt instead of blowing through a crowd of perhaps 200 citizens in the middle of the street.
 Romans on Knees
 There was no way of telling whe- ther they were Royalists or Social ists or folks just passing the time of day. They turned out to be none of these. They were Romans shoot- ing craps on the main drag and using a wall built in the fifth cen tury for 8 backstop.
 Francesca said he Sdidn't believe I should join the game. He said he believed 1t was crooked. A few steps further down the street was an- other smaller crowd. I never saw the like. Here was gent operat- ing g portable roulette wheel. Francesca said 1t was crooked too. He wanted to be on his way.
 Only I was surrounded by at least 30 black marketeers now, mostly in their teens, trying to sell me cig- arets Americanos for $1.35 a pack. Francesca was biting his finger nails. His job was to show me monuments, not his prospective vic- tine.
 It broke his heart when I insist ed he wait while l investigated a black market shop established n the sidewalk. Such a stockN never expect to see again. It included two telephones yanised out of the Ital- ian phone system, typewriters, bin- oculars, brassiefs. rayon stockings,
