Case Bill Balkers Look for Public CIdmor Against
 Truman's s Veto

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The drive for a broad new labor law ran out of gas today.
 Advocates parked themselves to await either CD public clamor or (3) another major strike crisis be- fore renewing their efforts to get a long-range. bill on the statute books.
 Leaders of the campaign report ed they are hopeful that a wave of public reaction" may develop against President Truman's veto of the Case bill and the Houses re- fusal to override him.
 They said that apparently only if such demand develops, or if a rev big tie-up occurs, can they muster the votes to guarantee en- actment of a permanent regula- tory measure this year.
 These views were expressed to newsmen by both Democrat and Republican spokesmen for the bi- partison bloc which supported the Case bill and wants it or some similar legislations enacted soon. They asked that their names not be used.

POLITICAL TROUBLES
 F0RE5EEN
Supreme Court Explosion, Case Labor Veto, Bad
 for Demos, Claim

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Repub- licans elatedly contended today that Democratic political prospects have dropped to a new low.
 They cite the Supreme Court ex- plcsion and the turmoil in majority party ranks produced by President Trumans veto of the Case labor disputes bill.
 Democrats generally didn't want to talk about the political implica- tions of either controversy.
 Their attitude was that while neither could be regarded as help full to party chances as whole, it's long time until the Novem- Ter elections and still longer until the 1948 Presidential contest.
 But Senator Taft of Ohio, chair man of the Republican Steering Committee, told reporter he feels the Democrats haven't done them- selves any good He added that the issues involved are not likely to be forgotten by voting time.
 The attack by Justice Robert H. Jackson on Justice Hugo L. Black for declining to disqualify himself in the portal to portal" coal mine pay decision was widely regarded among lawmakers of both parties as smudge on the sedate reputation of the high court, which President Truman has just made eight to one Democratic by nominating Fred Vinson as chief justice.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Those who have studied Harry Truman over the years can't decide whether it is blind personal loyalty or some oth- CT bond which makes him go through hell and high water for the Tom Pendergasts, the James Vardamans. and the John Snyders.
 Obviously, it isn't just because they hail from Missouri. Truman loyalty goes deeper than that. It almost takes the form of petty vindictiveness-a tendency to wreak vengeance on anyone who has op- posed an old Missouri crony. Tru- man takes out his vengeance on the public by putting that crony in position of trust where the public must suffer without means of -retaliation--until next election.
 Thus, one of the first things Harry Truman did when he be- came President of the United States was to fire Maurice Milli- gan, the U. S. attorney who had jailed his friend Tom Pendergast. Milligan had only done his duty But within week after Truman stepped into the White House, Mill ligan began looking for another Job.
 Next, Truman fired the Attorney General, Francis Riddle, who had stood up for Milligan and tried to keep him as U. s. attorney
 More recently. some advisers pro- posed the appointment of Justice Frank Murphy to be Chief Justice.

BRITISH VIEWPOINT

SEATTLT, June 12-Warning that delegates should not be influenced by false optimism" into drafting international seamen's labor stand ards that could not be generally accepted, George P. Strauss, mem Der of the British parliament, out lined his governments policy today at the World Maritime Conference here.
 International standards, if not widely applied, are not worth the paper they are written on,' Strauss said.
 The object of his government in the international labor organiza- tion's maritime conference, he said, is ito buttress our country's posi- tion by securing all maritime coun- tries fair wages and better living standard for seamen so that our seamen will no longer be subject to the threat of unfair competition by sweated labor"
 Many labor delegates at the con- ference have been advocating sea- mems minimum wage higher than $64 monthly proposed by the ILO.

Butler Wins Denomination in Nebraska = Idaho
 Primary Results
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

Senator Hugh A. Butler won re- termination handily over Governor Dwight Griswold in Nebraska yes terday to cloud Harold E. Stessen's prospects fol the States Republi- can convention votes in 1948.
 In another primary contest Sen ator Charles c. Gossett (D-Idaho) was unseated by state Senator George E. Donart, supported by Gossett's Democratic colleague, Senator Glen Taylor.
 Stassen, who helped write the San Francisco charter, backed Griswold because he liked the three-term governors e m n d that America play strong inter national role, and what he called Griswold's progressive" views on domestic issues.
 Butler is a first termer who vot- ed against lend-lease, the British lean, draft act extension, UNRRA and the Breton Woods financial agreements. Griswold said Butler wanted to "sidetrack international ism"
 Stassen has a chance to regain in Minnesota's July Senatorial primary whatever prestige he lost in Nebraska yesterday. But its rather clear now that he cannot count on Nebraskas IS votes in the presidential nominating conven- tion.
 He is supporting Gov. Edward J. Thye against Senator Henrick Shipstead in the Minnesota con- test.
 Griswold conceded defeat when only about percent of the 2,032 precincts had reported. Buffers margin remained about 2 to 1 as counting proceeded.
 On the Democratic Senatorial ticket state Senator John Mekota, endorsed by his party's state con- vention, won over George Olsen, former bus boy who was nominated for governor in 1922.
 Rep. Henry Dworshak, veteran of four terms in the House, won the Republican Senatorial nomin- ation easily. Richard H. Wells, Pocatello merchant, was second.

Sedmen, However Make Ready for Long Struggle
 -Curran's 5 Statement

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Thc government is reported ready to- day to offer it's own terms for set ting the threatened maritime strike, in effect taking negotiations out of operators hands.
 This word came from a negotia- tor who has been active in opera tor-union talks. He declined use of his name, but told reporters 1t was his understanding that if shipping companies fail to accept the gov- ernment terms, the operators ex- pect the government to order them into effect on it's own vessels. These accounted for nearly 80 percent of the merchant marine.
 This means in effect, he said. that the War Shipping Administra- ton has taken the negotiations out of employer hands.
 West Coast negotiators for the operators planned to leave Wash ington at 5 p. m. tEST) to report back home on the situation, it was learned.
 They expected to have in their hands before leaving the govern ment's proposal for averting the strike of seven unions of the Pac- fife. Gulf and East coasts.
 Settlement Proposals
 Informants said they expected the proposition Ito boil down to about 30 percent increase in pay without any cut in the basic 56- hour work week.
 Whether or not such a settle ment was acceptable to the opera tors, the VISA could put 1t into ef- feet by notifying the ship lines that the new conditions apply on all goyernment-owned vessels. Re- portedly, the terms would he ac- ceptable by the unions.
 Prior to this late-day turn in events Frank J. Taylor, a spokes- man for ship operators. said that the unions had rejected a new com promise offer on the seamen's work week.
 Plan To Strike
 Almost simultaneously, Joseph Curran, President of the CIO Na- tional Maritime Union, said. "a long and bitter strike will begin Friday midnight, as scheduled. un- less the seamen's work-weck is cut or their pay boosted.
 Both appeared before a House Labor subcommittee.
 Taylor, chairman of the negotiat- ing committee for the Atlantic and Gulf Coast shippers, said the op- orators proposed to give the seamen day off with pay for each week worked at sea.
 Yet this new offer was turned down by the NMU,' Taylor testi- fled
 Tt is thus quite apparent that the unions plea that the present work-week tof 56 hours generality Is inhumanly' long and should be shortened lacks sincerely" he con. tinued. "The union is perfectly willing for it's men to continue working these hours if they receive extra compensation
 Uncle Sam Can Pay
 Taylor added that perhaps Uncle Sam may be able to afford these new costs proposed by the union) but private industry finds them pro- hibitive."
 He also declared that the opera tors still are willing to submit the entire controversy to arbitration, but the unions won't agree.
