consequences in the Holy Land if

I. prellminaries-the disarming of il
legal Jewish underground forces
were reported to be raising the ques-
ton of informal assurances of Amer

migration should cause large-scale
disturbances.

technical and financial support in
implementing the recommendation
on 100000 Jews. but has withheld

The British are understood to con-
tend that if both Jews and Arabs
were disarmed, the likelihood of mil
itary operations would be remote.

ouA One of these was with Joseph

that ships carry two operators in
stead of one.
Apparently the unions of the
Committee for Maritime Unity were
holding to their agreement that
they would 60 through with strike
unless the differences of all seven
unions are satisfied. Six Of the
unions are CLIO and the other in
dependent.
Curran Claims Progress.
The National Maritime Union,
headed by Joseph Curran, and the
other sea-going unions of GNU
were said to have accepted verbally
their part Of the agreement calling
for wage boost of $l750 a month
and overtime pay for work at sea
over 48 hours a week instead of the
present Sc. NMU has been insisting
on, first a 40-hour week and then
one of "A hours at sea.
Mr.. Curran speaking on tele-
phone hookup to prestrike rally
In New York, said 1--WE have cracked
the 56-hour work week. We have
without question received a sub
stantial concession"
In his talk to West Coast union
members, Mr.. Bridges warned that
the strike might yet take place.
but at the same time said the sit
uation looks favorable" for set
ting it.
He said the Government, in its
settlement plan, has offered the
longshoremen nothing more than did
the fact-flnding board on May 10
and 1T is extremely doubtful that
more will be offered"
IF that be the basis said Mr.
Bridges, Il know that - the long
shoremen will understand. However
We are insisting that if no improve
ment lin the offer) is made. the
agreement arising by acceptance of
the fact-flnding board shall only run
to September 80, 1916.
If that be the case, I want to tell
you all now. we will start at once
to prepare for September 30, 1916.
and at that time we'll take care of
the fact-flnding recommendation"
Mr. Bridges declared the Govern
ment took things out of the private
ship operators hands not because
it had any friendship for labor, but
because the strike deadline was
near.
He said There are no friends Of
labor in this Government, in this
administration. If there are, they

Legality Of President S
Plan 10 End I Federal
Agencies Questioned

The legality of President Tru-
mans reorganization proposals af-
fecting the National Housing Agency
was questioned today by Chairman
McCarran of the Senate Judiciary
Committee as his group opened
hearings on the plans.
Senator Huffman, Democrat. of
Ohio joined the Nevadan and the
committees counsel, Julian Sour
wine, in questioning Budget Bureau
officials regarding the proposals to
consolidate all Government housing
activities under the MIA.
Senator McCarran said he wanted
to be shown where the President
has the powers under the Reorgan-
ization Act of 1945 to abolish two
Government corporations, the Home
Owners Loan Corp and the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corp,
and transfer their functions to the
MIA administrator.
Legislation Cited.
Congress specifically passed legis-
lation creating these. corporations
and providing for board of direc-
tors and trustees and now this plan
would kill all that and place all the
functions under the control of a
single man. Senator McCarran re-
marked
What I want to know is: Where
does the President get the authority
to abolish these corpora tons set up
by Congress?"
+ Budget Bureau Director Harold
D. Smith and his assistants were
uncertain regarding legislation which
gave the President such powers and
were requested by Senator McCar-
ran to present the committee with
a written statement detailing the
legal basis of he Presidents pro-
pOsals.
Smith Is Witness.
Mr.. Smith, the first witness to ap-
pear before the committee, was sub
jected to close questioning by Mr.
Sourwine, ands' Senator McCarran
asked Mr.. Smith to return tomor-
row.
In his testimony Mr.. Smith urged
adoption of the Presidents pro-
posals, declaring they would result
lin more advantageous and efficient
Government administration"
Mr.. Smith said adoption of the
plans will permit an orderly Govern
ment transition from war to peace
and will also prevent the breaking
up of ofganizational arrangements
utilized in wartime. the preservation
OF which in time of peace is
desirable"
