Hoover Sees Strikes
Endangering Millions
Awaiting u. 5. Food
By the Assoeiofed Press

SAN FRANCISCO, May ll.-Back
from a food and famine survey which
took him into more than 20 coun-
tries in less than two months, for
mer President Hoover yesterday
lashed out at the coal and threat
ened rail and shipping strikes which
he said could bring death to millions
Many Of the men working in
these industries are descended from
countries where the famine is on the
doorstep" he said.
Now nearing 70, Mr. Hoover looked
tired but spoke vigorously at brief
news conference. He read a short
prepared statement he had written
IN longhand, refused to speak over
radio microphones and quickly with
drew to his hotel room.
- Due Here Today. -e.
He said he would go to Washing
ton today TO report to President
Truman as honorary head of the
Chief Executives Famine Emerg-
ency Committee. Then on the night
of May II in Chicago he will broad
cast "a full report to the American
people on the whole famine situa-
ton"
The statement, which he read
before the news of work resumption
being ordered in: the coal mines,
said :'3'f 30 -. 80 4
we are facing the greatest po-
tential famine in all human history
There is only from 80 to so days
supply of food in the famine areas
|of q different nations. They have
i've months to go until the next
harvest. The potential Of the
famine Is so imminent that if this
coal strike continues, hundreds of
thousands Of people will die in the
famine areas from delayed food
shipments.
If the railroad strike takes place,
1T will mean death to millions of
people
If the shipping strike takes place
it will be world holocaust"

u. N. Delegates Study
u. ). Plea 10 Defer
Membership Action
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May ll.-Securlty
Council delegations today considered
an American proposal that would
defer action on applications for
membership in the United Nations
until qualifications and procedures
are determined in late summer by
a subcommittee.
1t was expected to have the
stanch support of Great Britain
but there were indications it might
provoke an open Soviet countermove
on behalf of Albania when it comes
up for debate at the next Council
session next week.
Albania's application, sponsored
by Yugoslavia with Russian support.
is the only one on file at present.
1t was tabled at the London sessions
on suggestion of United States Dele
gate Edward r. Stettinius, jr., and
is the only item on the current
agenda which has not come up for
debate
Resolution Circulated.
Mr.. Stettinius proposed in a reso-
luton circulated among the delega-
tions last night that applications
received up to mid-July be examined
by an 1l-nation subcommittee repre-
senting the full Council membership
and reported out not later than
August /.
The subcommittee report would
be taken up by the Council in Au-
gust and the Council then would
report to the General Assembly
meeting here September 3.
The Charter provides that new
member nations may be added by
the Assembly on recommendation of
the Security Council. Other nations
reported interested in joining the
United Nations include Iceland.
Sweden, Switzerland, Siam and Fire
but they have not applied formally.
In the preamble, Mr.. Stettinius'
proposal points out that membership
is open to all peace-loving states
which accept the obligations con-
tanned in the Charter, and, in the
Judgment of the organization, are
able and willing to carry out these
obligations.
The Councils committe of experts
is reported split on the question with
the Russians contending a Council
recommendation would be tanta-
mount to grant of membership
and would need only the rubber
stamp of the General Assembly.
Britain is leader in opposition
to the Albanian regime. which it
refuses to recognize automatically.

ton much more damage than he
has done himself. The people can
not take it out on him at the
polls; he is not running for any
thing. But the people will want
to make somebody pay for the fears
the inconvenience and actual hard
ships they have suffered. So while
the people may hate him for his
fight against the Government. it
Is the Government they will make
suffer. Or SO he can reason.
Roundabout Manner.
Mr.. Lewis has long wanted to
throw his weight. politically, against
the Roosevelt Truman administra-
ton. In this roundabout manner
IT, may be he has succeeded. He
failed always when he attempted
direct political action. The miners
who followed him willingly in and
out Of the pits never would follow
him to the polls-at least, not to
vote against Mr.. Roosevelt.
What Mr.. Lewis has accomplished
in connection with his more i'm
mediate ambition, his desire to dom
mate in the field of labor, may be
a different story. 1t is accepted in
labor circles that his return to the
American Federation of Labor in
dicated his purpose in due time to
seek the presidency of that organiza-
ton. Nobody has believed that he
would accept secondary role for
very long. That would be little
seut of character for Mr.. Lewis.
y. Except for one or two factors, 1t
Is reasonable to believe that the
course Mr.. Lewis has taken in his
battle with the operators - and
the Government - has generally
strengthened him with labor. Labor
admires toughness. They have re-
spect for the kind of nerve Mr.
Lewis has exhibited in the face of
condemnation from practically every
quarter. But. as one factor oper-
ating against him, the coal strike
has thrown a lot of workers be-
sides the miners out of work. many
of them, like the auto workers, just
beginning to recuperate from their
own strikes. -o,..
May Cease to be Hero.
And, perhaps more important
factor, there is Congress. -,..
Long before the coal strike started
Congress was in a mood to hit out
Ablindly with drastic strike -curbing
legislation. The House acted, pass
ing the Case bill, a measure calcu-
lated to drive labor leaders into a
frenzy. administration forces, op-
posed to the legislation, were un-
able to prevent it in the. House, but
succeeded until this week in holding
1t off in the Senate. This week, al
most entirely because of the coal
strike and its disastrous effects, the
antilabor forces broke through in
the Senate and forced free and
open consideration of similar legis-
lation.
. What the outcome will be cannot
be foretold. but there is every pros
pect that it will be something that
labor will bitterly resent. If this
happens John L. Lewis will cease
to be the hero of any large part OF
organized labor. He will be held re-
sponsible for causing the gains OF
recent years to be washed away.

SENATE Sets Up Special
unit 10 Study Plan 10
'Stream|ine' Congress

Plans for modernizing the con-
gressional machinery gained a step
yesterday when the Senate adopted
a resolution creating a special COM
mittee to consider all recommended
tions made by the La Toilette
Monroney Joint Committee of the
House and Senate.
Without such a committee the
wide variety of recommended legis-
lation would have been scattered
among many committees of the
Senate. This, it was feared would
bring doubtful results, partly due TO
expected standing committee juris-
dictional issues.
Urged by Rules Unit.
The action was taken on recon-
mendation of the Rules Committee,
headed by Senator Byrd, Democrat,
Of Virginia, following a strong ap-
peal made by Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin.
1t was indicated, however, the
campaign to bring the congressional
machinery up to date still is in the
preliminary stage. The Rules Com
mittee recommendation specified
that the creation of the committee
sis not to be construed as repre-
sentirlg the position of the Commit
tee on Rules on the merits of all
the recommendations contained in
the La .Follette-Monroney Joint
Committee report.
Members of the special Senate
committee will be those who served
on the aoint committee study: SEN
ators Thomas of Utah. Pepper of
Florida and Russell of Georgia,
Democrats, and White of Maine and
Brooks OF Illinois, Republicans, in
addition to Chairman La Toilette.
Would Reduce Committees.
Among major recommendations of
the congressional "streamline" study
group We're those for a sharp reduc-
tion in the numbers of House and
Senate committees, stronger control
81 lobbyists, increased expert help
Tor Congress, better fiscal controls.
better pay and retirement rights for
members Of Congress.
Left for future Congresses to deal
with were questions as to a depar-
ture from the traditional seniority
system of selection of congressional
committee chairmen. cutting down
the powers of the House Rules Com
mittee and limitation of debate in
the Senate.

stated, the present situation would
have all the characteristics of the
great battles Mr.. Lewis has fought
and won in the pas, But unless the
Senate talks itself into a cooler
state of mind than is now evident,
the present Lewis victory is apt to
develop into his-and labor's-
greatest defeat.
