Compromise Sought
By Senate Backers
Of Wage Legislation
BY the Associated Press

The administration looked
hopefully today to a minimum
wage bill compromise that might
kill off the farm price boosting
amendment.
However, differences over bringing
additional workers under the wage
laws coverage were reported to be
holding up decision.
Senate friends of the minimum
wage legislation said there appeared
to be no prospective difficulty on
agreeing to a minimum lower than
the 65-75 cent scale the adminis-
tration originally proposed.
One proposition being discussed
was 60-cent figure to become ef-
fective nine months after enactment
of the measure. The present min
imum is 40 cents an hour.
Another was an increase to 55
cents Immediately. to 60 cents after
two years and to 65 cents after four
This would be the administration
plan with 10 cents knocked off all
along the line.
In addition, however, the admin
istration measure proposes to extend
the wage law to cover some $500, ,OOC
additional workers, including sea-
men, employees of chain and large
retail stores, and some presently ex-
empted professors of agriculture!
commodities.
Senators Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana and Ball, Republican, OF
Minnesota, leaders of a Southern
|Democrat-Republican group oppos-
ing the administration measure
propose to leave the coverage un-
changed.
Administration men turned te

ing amendment, which President
Truman has said would compel hin
to veto the entire legislation.
Their hope was that by accepting
lower wage scale than originally
asked they might rally enough votes
to knock out the farm amendment
sponsored by Senator Russell, Demo
crat, of Georgia. The amendment
calling for inclusion of agricultural
labor in computing parity prices
was approved Friday by a vote OF
43 to 81.
After a conference with hackers
of the administration plan, Senator
Ellender told reporters:
Il think the Senate eventually will
pass bill substantially in line
with that proposed by Senator Ball
and myself"
The Ellender-Ball proposal calls
for boost to SIS cents now and to
90 cents after 18 months.
Senator Russell, however, said he
would press his amendment no mat
ter what wage scale was approved.
The Senate may get back to con-
sideration Of the wage legislation
late today. The measure was laid
aside yesterday in order to take UP
the nomination of Commodore
James K. Vardaman, White House
naval aide, to the Federal Reserve
Board

DonneII and Morse
Seek Further Delay
In Vardaman Vote
BY the Associofed Press

Senate supporters of Commo-
dore James K. Vardaman, jr.
President Truman's nominee tc
the Federal Reserve Board, today
asked only for a chance to vote
But two Republican Senators
Morse of Oregon and Donnell OF
Missouri indicated in advance OF
the session starting at noon that the
vote might be delayed from few
hours to few days.
Senator Morse told a reporter he
considers the Vardaman nomination
perfect example of the fact that
the present system of Senate con-
firmation is pretense.
Charges Lack of Study.
"No real study is being given to
these matters and it's time that the
American public finds out the truth
about it," the Oregon Senator
asserted.
Senator Donnell, who talked near
ly five hours yesterday, said he needs
another hour or two to wind up
some of the reasons why the Sen
ate should not confirm Commodore
Vardaman."
Senator Mcfarland, Democrat, OF
Arizona, member of the Banking
Subcommittee that conducted two
sets of public hearings, said he
expected a favorable vote sometime
today.
"It should run about the same as
the Banking Committee" Senator
Mcfarland told reporter, referring
to the 9-to-1 vote that sent the
nomination to the Senate.
Senator Donnell has not pre-.
sented anything that needs any
answering Senator McFarlane
added.
But Senator Morse said Senator
Donnell had raised numerous seri.
Gus charges" with ''less than two
thirds or three-fourths of the Sen.
ate present to hear them"
Senator Morse said he would ask
that a vote on confirmation be de-
layed a few days, SO that Senators
could study Senator Donnell's
charges and then, if they wished
'go back and examine the transcript
of the subcommittee hearing"
We've gotten into some awful baC
habits about Senate confirmation,
Senator Morse said. They can re.
suit in exceedingly bad government
I'm pretty sure the public does moi
understand this"
Senator Donnell, who presented g
series of former banking and bust.
ness associates in opposition to the
Vardaman appointment before the
Banking Subcommittee, went back
over most of their testimony in his
speech yesterday.
Claims "ColOred" Testimony.
Time and again he insisted that
Commodore Vardaman had ar
obvious tendency to color his testi.
mony to his advantage"
Senator Donnell said the ccmmo-
dore told the subcommittee severa,
times that when he entered the
Navy in June. 194l, he severed his
active direction of the Vardamar
Shoe Co.. which was reorganized in
bankruptcy in June, 1912.
Then Senator Donnell would reac
from directors minutes, transcript
Of hearings and other data to show
that Commodore'Vardaman was ir
intimate contact" with the business
attended shoe style shows and con-
tinued to draw "his monthly salary
of S625."
Senator Mcfarland, his fact
flushed. accused Senator Donnell o1
attempting a play on words" tt
try and discredit a war veteran.
Senator Donnell emphatically de.
MED this, saying he regarded it a.
his duty as a Senator to bring al
facts before the Senate.

Russia Is Living Up
10 Reich Border Paei,
Gen. Harmon Declares
BY the Associated Press

BAMBERG, Germany, Nov. 22.-
Maj. Gen. Ernest M. Harmon, the
United States Arnay's police chief
in Germany. said yesterday that
Russia was living up to" her border
agreements in Germany and that
American Russian relations were
better than at any time since the
end of the war"
Gen. Harmon, head Of the Army's
mobile, law-enforcing constabulary
that covers the American occupa-
ton zone with net of vigilant pa
trolls, said that contrary to reports,
there is no open warfare on the
American-Russian zonal frontiers in
Germany"
Gunfire Declared Very Rare.
There have been many r,imors
among American soldiers and Ger
mans OF daily exchanges of gunfire
between American and Russian
troops stationed ON opposite sides
of the zonal border.
Gen. Harmon said there was gun
fire "only once in avery rare while. .
The general, who leads 81 600 mo-
torized soldiers, said he ought to
know" because he had just returned
to his headquarters here from an in
spection trip along the American
Russian occupation border.
II haven't had single Amer
lean soldier shot or killed by the
Russians" he added, I'VE killed a
Russian, but then my boys aren't
all angels.
1--WE have number of petty In
cidents. The Russians shoot over
our heads occasionally when some
of my boys go into the Russian
zone. When Russians come into
our area-either by mistake or by
some young spirit Of adventure
We hand them back. They never
have detained any of our men un-
duly, nor we theirs"
Contacts Are Genial"
But he said, THE Russians want
us to stay on our side of the bor-
der and we are keeping them on
their side"
Gen. Harmon, who has visited
with his Russian opposite numbers
several times. but has never been
able to persuade the Russian COM
mander of Thuringia to come to
dinner in Bamberg, added:
Our contacts are genial--but we
don't have any allied drinking bouts.
Everything is very dignified."
He declared that he had mo idea
and I'd tell you If I knew" of
what Russian divisions are sta
toned across the American border.

are necessary. Only out of profits
can our employers give us better

What nm America
we could have!

The rights of machines and the
rights of people have met and
mingled in our industry. They
should get joined together in
every factory in America. Unions
could then stop being just fight
ing outfits. They could become
the active partners of manage
ment for more productivity and
prosperity. And what an America
we could have if free managers
and free, unafraid workers in
every workplace were cooperating
with one complete mind!
There never yet has been 4 fac
tory in America that came within
hailing distance Of its fullest pos
sible production. And it never
will without you and you and
you. You can see things that man
agement CAM see. You can see the
little wastes that add up to one
great big terrible waste. Manage
ment can't stop them. You can.
You can help your union to show
management that we are contrib
uting to the comPany's kitty-the
kitty for the stockholder, for man
agement, and for your own next
wage-hike.
Some arrangements don't want
any help from unions. They are
stuffed shirts. Thank God our en-
ployers are down on the ground
and on the level. They welcome
our help. Give il to them.
We've been pushing our wages
up and up. Fine. But if we put
our wages up on stills and don't
lift our production to the level of
the stills. it won't be long before
the whole country goes from the
stills to the skids. We've got to
produce now with everything We
have.
