tBY Max Harrelsonl

NEW YORK, (P)-The United Nations sped toward final action on the principles of a wide arms reduction program today when the general assembly's pow erful political committee approved unanimously a draft resolution laying down the general terms of the arms plan.
 The 54-nation committee, meet ing at Lake Success, sent the mea- sure to the assembly for final ac- tion after making a few minor changes. In view of the unanimous vote, it was assured of adoption by the assembly.
 The resolution recommended that the security council formulate plans for armaments limitations and set up inspection and control machinery to detect and prevent violations.
 The machinery will be free of the big power veto. It must be ap- proved finally by a special session of the general assembly and then be ratified by individual states.
 The program includes provisions for the outlawing of atomic bombs and other weapons of mass de-

JUN. May Sever Spanish Relations
(Ry Larry Haukl

NEW YORK, (P)-The United Nations general assembly today tossed one of it's hottest issues into the laps of its 54 members by recommending withdrawal of dip ] m ti C representatives from Franco Spain and British spokes- man immediately announced his country would "very shortly" re- call it's ambassador from Madrid.
 A government source in London said Sir Victor Mallet, British ambassador to Spain, would be re- called in accordance with the JUN. resolution declaring the Franco government to be a fascist re- gime." The informant said D. F. Howard would be designated Brit ish charge d'affaires in Madrid and that the embassy would be re- duced to the. status of a legation.
 In Madrid a Spanish foreign ministry spokesman said it was "tOO early" for comment on the U. N. assembly vote. No official Spanish comment on the U. N vote was expected until after the regular cabinet meeting, sched- uled for late. today.
 Diplomats in Madrid who would be affected by the U. N. resolu- ton include ministers from the Dominican Republic and Fl Sal vador, which voted against the U. N. resolution, and the Netherlands and Turkey, which abstained from voting. All other U. N. diplomatic missions in Spain are headed by charges d'affaires, some of whom have the personal rank of minis ters but not of ministers plenipo- tentiary.
 The United States has had no ambassador at Madrid since the return of Norman Armour.
 To strengthen its recommenda- tion for action, the assembly in cluded a clause asking all mem bers to report what action they had taken. It was the assembly's first concrete action against the Falangist regime during its long and bitter debates over what to do with a man who once aligned him self with Hitler and Mussolini.

DeadIine Effort Seeks
Cafeteria Settlement;
Strike May Be Put Off
Federal Works Agency
Refuses to Intervene
As Requested by Union
Bv Joseph Youno
By Joseph Young

Only one hope remained today
of preventing strike in the So
Federal cafeterias operated by
Government Services, Inc, amid
indications the effective walkout
scheduled for tomorrow will be
postponed for at least several
days.
Although it appeared this morning
that all hopes for preventing strike
had vanished, Labor Department
conciliation officials scheduled a
meeting with union and GSI repre-
sentatives for pm. today in zero
hour attempt to prevent strike.
Although the unions 3o-day strike
notice becomes effective tomorrow,
officials have indicated that the
strike will not be called for at least
several days 'for strategic reasons. ="
For one thing, tomorrow is a
holiday in the Government and
Friday is payday for cafeteria en-
ployes. Then, too, the union wants
to employ the element of surprise
in it's walkout, since GSI has an
nounced plans to provide limited
service for its patrons.
FWA Refuses to Intervene.
Earlier hopes of preventing strike
went glimmering today when the
Fe 1eral Works Agency, under whose
supervision GSI operates, refused
the request of the cafeteria workers
union that the agency intervene in
the wage dispute and direct a settle
ment of the dispute.
Both sides were hopelessly dead
locked over the unions demands for
a 15-cent-an-hour wage raise for
the 1000 cafeteria workers en-
ployed by GSI, as well as sick leave
and welfare fund benefits.
