|vFW Urges Priorities
For GIs in Purchase
|0f Surplus Housing

A spokesman for the Veterans of
Foreign Wars today urged approval
of the Rogers bill to give preference
to veterans in the purchase of Sur
plus" Government housing, while
testnying before the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in Executive
Departments.
The witness, John C. Williamson
assistant legislative representative
of the WV, said the national prob
lem of acquiring surplus housing for
veterans had been dramatized to
some extent here by the efforts OF
veterans to acquire Mclean Gar
dens and other housing develop
ments in the National Capital.
He said the problem of preference
for veterans in the purchase Of sur
plus commodities was broader than
the local issue or one restricted
merely to housing.
Our organization has received
hundreds of letters complaining OF
wild-goose chases and a general
pushing around" he said, protest
ing that part of the trouble was due
to lack of clearly defined policies on
the part of Government disposal
agencies.
While Congress has enacted laws
giving veterans preference next to
Federal, State and local government
agencies, he said, it was fact that
by the time the governmental agen-
cies had submitted their offers
there isn't enough property left to
satisfy more than 10 to II per cent
OF the applications from veterans.
obviously, the present priority is
insufficient" he said, asking that
veterans priority be placed next to
Federal Government.
In order to create an effective pri-
ority. Mr.. Williamson contended, st
must be one in the exercise of which
the veteran does not have to compete
with all the hot money floating
around waiting to grab onto some
thing good he continued. The
Federal Government should set it's
own price ceilings on all goods, in
Guiding surplus housing. Then, the
idea of veterans preference will be
a reality"

Fact-Finders Begin
Investigation Today
In Railroad Dispute
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Mar. IA three
man presidential fact-finding board
was scheduled to open hearings to-
day on the wages and rules dispute
between two railroad operating
unions and most of the Nations rail
lines.
A strike by the 293, 900 members of
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, originally set for yesterday,
was postponed for at least 30 days
after President Truman, under
terms of the Railway Labor Act,
named the emergency board.
Will Determine Procedure.
A. F.. Whitney, president of the
trainmen, has announced that the
unions would allow the group "the
full 80 days allowed by law to study
the case and make a report" The
brotherhoods are seeking wage in
creases averaging Is per cent and
As changes in working rules.
The first session of the fact find
ing board at II am. was expected to
be consumed by establishment of
procedure and rules for presentation
of evidence.
Three separate boards have been
appointed under the Railway Labor
Act since the 20 unions covering
railroad employees first presented
demands for increased wages and
changes in working rules early last
December.
Wage Demands Put Ahead.
Three OF the five operating unions
and the Is incorporating unions
agreed late in January to put wage
demands ahead of rule changes
and to submit their cases to arbi-
tration.- Separate boards were ap-
pointed to handle the demands Of
the operating and incorporating
unions; these hearings started Feb
ruary 10 and are now about half
way completed. The findings of
these arbitration boards will be final
and binding.
The Brotherhoods of Railroad
Trainmen and Locomotive Engi-
neers refused to drop their demands
for rule changes, however, and pro-
ceeded with a strike vote.
The fact-finding board report
will not be binding on either the
unions or the railroads, but in the
past, weight of public opinion has
forced settlement along the general
lines Of board findings.

Brig. Gen. H. C. Holdridge, U. S. A.,

night he opposed military conscrip-

Addressing a meeting at Western
Maryland College, Gen. Holdridge
said such a policy would endanger
international relations In a time Of
tension and weaken the effect of the
United Nations Organization.
In opposing consumption in peace
time, he said he also was considering
the obsolete nature of past tech

the atomic age.
II preparedness is necessary, he
said, America should use a small,

World Bank Studies
Plan for Time Limit
On Joining Program
By the Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Mar. 12.-Russia and
other Breton Woods signatories
who have been dilatory about enter
ing the world bank and fund may
be granted only. six months in which
to join the global lending and cur
lrency stabilizing agencies.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson,
chairman of the Board of Governors
lof the twin institutions, told a re-
porter today the membership of the
international Monetary Conference,
on Wilmington Island near here,
probably would set such a deadline.
After that time, even countries
which signed the 1914 agreement
creating the 5000, 000, 900 bank and
Sc, 100000 fund would have to seek
admission as new applicants.
Would Refix Quotas.
This would subject them to entry
on terms and conditions imposed by
the governing boards, in which the
present Big Five-the United States,
Britain, China, France and India
dominate the voting. The late
corners also would be subject to
refixing of their quotas of gold and
currency to be subscribed to the
bank and fund.
Panama's action in ratifying the
Breton Woods pacts, announced
last night, was welcomed by the
delegates of IS nations who are
working to launch the fund and
bank.
Mr.. Vinson said Nicaragua and FL
Salvador were expected to ratify
shortly.
Australia has hesitated to ratify
until Russia does, officials in Can
berra have stated. They fear that
Russia's hidden gold reserves might
upset the liberalized trading ar
|rangements planned, unless the So
Wet co-operates.
Russia Is Onlooker.
Russia sat among the eight on
locker nations at separate table.
Yugoslavia, although a member,
so far has failed to turn up. Dele
gates wondered if she had decided
not to participate at all, thus fol-
lowing the Russian line.
The battle over permanent home
for the twin agencies gave promise
of waxing hotter. A British spokes-
man said "We have only begun to
fight" for New York, as against the
American delegations preference,
Washington.
Mr.. Vinson came out fatty for
Washington yesterday, after an
nouncing that this country had also
decided to seek-which means get
the presidency of the world bank.
Wants U. S. Confidence.
He said the delegation wants
the confidence of our people" in
the loan institution, since Ameri-
cans will be the major prospective
buyers of bonds floated by the bank
OF foreign bonds guaranteed by the
bank.
Some countries have urged that
the United States accept also the
top post in the monetary fund, the
managing dictatorship, but Mr..
Vinson said this should 60 else
where.
Either Briton or a Canadian Is
likely to get the fund position, most
delegates believe. It is the only
top post left open to a non-Ameri-
can since the governing boards &C
ton yesterday in unanimously elect
ing Mr.. Vinson as permanent chair
man. He also heads new executive
committee for both the fund and
the bank.
Other nations represented on this
influential steering" group are
Britain, China, France. India, Mex
leo, Brazil, Canada, Belgium, the
Netherlands. Poland and Egypt.

Thomas and Reuther
Say They Are United
On JAWS Program
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Mar. 12.-All appar-
emily was harmonious on the CLIO
United Auto Workers negotiations
front today with conferees scheduled
to continue in the 112-day General
Motors strike and parts of the
unions Ford contract facing pos
sible changes.
Despite the "Reuther- for presi-
dent" drive that seemed to be gain
ing momentum among UAW-CIO
locals, both Walter P. Reuther, now
a union vice president, and r. J.
Thomas, president, refrained from
comment on the subject and Insisted
they were unanimous in all action
now being taken to negotiate a
strike settlement"
Meanwhile, the unions National
Ford Council, while stating its OBJ
lection to the certain clauses dealing
with productivity and other issues
in the contract with the Ford Motor
Co., expressed full confidence in the
Ford Negotiating Committee, headed
by Richard T. Leonard.
Council Objects to Arbitration.
Mr.. Leonard said he understood
the action of the committee, which
finishes its meeting today, to indi-
cate virtual approval of the contract
signed late last month. The coun-
cil's principal objection was recorded
on provision for an arbitrator to
set up production schedules.
Whether or not the indicated
changes are made, Mr.. Leonard de-
clared, the contract will next go
directly to the union membership
for ratification or rejection. The
council has no formal power to
decide acceptability of the agree
ment.
AS union and General Motors
leaders scheduled another negotia-
ting session with Federal mediator
James F. Dewey at 2 pm, a state
ment fom Is New York State locals
announced their intention to sup
port Mr.. Reuther for president when
the JAW convenes at Atlantic City
March %.
Spokesman tor the locals was
Frank Holland. president of Local
424, who said their members, num-
berinng between 1000 and 5000 &C
cording to estimates, want Reuther
to step forward and give our union
its needed leadership"
Mr.. Hollands statement continued
with charge that some leaders of
the JAW and of the CLIO, fearing
that proper settlement of the GIN
strike would enhance Reuther's
prestige, have not whole heartedly
supported GIN strikers"
Mr.. Thomas, who was reported to
have criticized Mr.. Reuther at a
meeting of the Ford Council Sunday
asserted with Mr. Reuther Monday
that any personal differences which
may have been reported in the news
papers" had no effect on negotia-
tons toward settlement of the strike.
General Motors Raped.
I'VE agree emphatically that GIN
Is solely responsible for continuing
the strike through its refusal to ac-
cept the recommendations of the
President Of the United States and
its refusal to arbitrate the issues, I"
he added.
Mr.. Reuther refused comment
yesterday as to whether he would
seek the presidency, telling reporters

Murray Sees Passage
OF Senate Labor Bill
With Minor Changes
BY the Assoeioied Press

Chairman Murray predicted to-
day that both the Senate Labor
Committee and the Senate as a
whole would approve without major
changes" greatly modified substi-
tute for the Case bill.
This is the Senate Labor Com
mittee's idea of what is needed to
attain industrial peace" Senator
Murray told reporters, outlining de-
tails of substitute for the labor
disputes legislation sponsored by
Representative Case, Republican,, of
South Dakota and passed by the
House over opposition of admins
tration leaders.
The Senate measure, drafted by a
seven-member group led by Senator
Murray, recommends establishment
of a new, independent, f1ve-member
Federal Mediation Board to which
would be transferred Cancellation
and mediation powers of the Labor
Department.
Drastic" Provisions Scrapped.
Senator Murray said the drastic"
provisions of the House legislation
had been eliminated by the Senate
group because nothing can be
gained by attempts to penalize or
strait-jacket labor"
The right to strike is funda-
mental right that labor has won
after long years of struggle, he said
"All we need now is stronger media
ton and Cancellation"
Senator Murray said the proposed
measure set up no top authority
which could end a strike or walk
out in the event all mediation. con-
Citation or arbitration measures
failed.
But we have learned" he ex-
planned, that in this country wei
cannot compel labor to accept wages
or working conditions it believes un-
fair. Sooner or later both parties to
a dispute will realize that both are
suffering by the work stoppage."
He said that there had been no
new power set up to handle worker
management disagreements, but al
new system"
GIN Deadlock Explained"
Senator Murray said he believed
the long General Motors--CIO Auto
Workers strike has not been settled
because the parties are not in the
proper spirit to negotiate"
The chairman said Senators Ball,
Republican, of Minnesota, and FL
lender, Democrat, of Louisiana
probably would seek to amend the
Senate measure by three provisions
rejected by the drafting group:
A prohibition against secondary
boycotts' which was in the House
bill.
Special 'fact-fnding boards"
with 'cooling-off periods" before
strikes in disputes involving utilities.
Segregation of supervisory en-
ployes, such as foreign, in separate
unions.
Sees Hope in Senate Plan.
Although noting that the Senate
group discarded most major pro-
visions of the Case ball, Senator FL
lender said he believed the Senate
plan would encourage industrial
peace.
keystone of the new bill is the
proposed Federal mediation board
which would be composed of five
12,000-a-year members appointed
by the President subject to Senate
confirmation.
Senator Ellender said the pro-
posed board would encourage COL
lective bargaining as a first step.
If this failed, Cancellation and me-
diation would follow. The final step
would be request to opposing fac
lions to submit to voluntary arbi-
tration."
