 On New Measures

7ashington. May q - UP) - An angry Senate, aroused by coal nnd rnil strikes. moved today to- ward enactment of stringent union- g1rhing legislation.
 Advocates of the strike restric- tiUns foresaw speedy victories as the aftermath to Q 14-hour session which lasted until 1:16 A. M. today and let them batter one major tri- amnph through opponents who had stalled action for two weeks. The Senate meets an hour early, st noon, EDT., today to resume their drive for . labor bill.
 The first victory came early this morning on . proposal by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va), to limit the welfare fund demands of John e Lewis in the soft coal dispute.
 It was adopted by a vote of 48 to co. It would outlaw employer con- krihuti0ns to such @ fund unless 1t was administered jointly by union and management, and the disburSe- ments limited to medical and hos pital care, insurance or pension pro- grams, or sickness and injury bene- klts.
 Lewis has demanded Q percent levy on total mine payrollS to be administered exclusively by his Uni- ted Mine Workers union and with out specific restrictions on its use.

CHOICE MoRsEL :
It Says Here
By BOB HOPE

WINTER & SUMMER SPORTS
 The California Chamber of Commerce recently announced that this was the only state in the country where you could go from winter sports to summer sports in two hours, and they produced a sunburned snowfall to prove 1t. New York and Florida tried to team up and beat the record, but they rang in a propelled plane. And that doesn't count.
 This two-hour deal is done by automobile. Say you're up skiing and you want to go swimming at the beach. You just get in your car and in 120 minutes you're down with the sand and waves =. The only drawback is, think what you have to wear for that sort of thing A SuGlsuit with 8 coon- skin cap. Actually, it can be done in one hour, but you need that extra time to park and thaw out.
 I tried the two-hour treatment last weekend. I got the first case of frozen sunstroke in medical his tory. It turned out to be very con-, fusing. went off the ski jump and forgot to take off my water wings. I don't know how long I was up in the air, but the last thing I remember was an eagle pecking me on the head and screaming, T hate va cause your feet's too big!"

 Alan c. Curtiss, vice-president of the Scovill Manufacturing Com- pany, said the concern will also operate Monday.
 eff we still can't ship or receive, we can't operate indefinitely he said.
 Described as Paralyzing
 The situation resulting from the rail strike was described as ,"abso- lutely paryalyzing" by Rodney S. Chase, director of industrial and public relations for the Chase Company.
 we can operate only on day to day basis" said MT. Chase. Beyond the strike itself there is the fact that the government may com mandeer all or most of the equip ment of the trucking industry, on which we now depend for shipments and deliveries"
 The Chase Company posted the following notice on bulletin boards in all offices and departments:
 Due to the railroad strike and the unsettled conditions in the coal industry we do not know how long we will be able to continue to oper- ate our plants"
 ''This notice is merely to warn you that we will have to close in the near future if the railroad strike is not terminated. What day we might have to close we cannot tell at this time, as it will depend not only on our ability to obtain supplies but also our ability to get rid of the material we manufac- ture."
 we will open Monday morning as usual and hope that supplies and shipments will be restored to nor mai very quickly so that we will not have to close" Charles E. Hart President

Continued from Page D '. plus whatever comes in by truck
 Factories, with shipments and de- liveries by rail cut off, face grave emergency that will mean layoffs and slautdown6 unless service is restored soon. One major factory, the Chase Brass & Copper Com pany, warned employees 1t will have to close soon if the strike goes on.
 Regular mail deliveries were made this morning but only locally post marked mail was available for de- livery this afternoon, and regular service was doubtful. Mail weigh ing above e pound was accepted. Plans to use nail trucks for lserv- ice to New Haven and Hartford were cancelled without explanation.
 Railroad men belonging to the striking unions met at Moose Hall this morning and arranged to meet twice daily during the strike. About 12O local railroad employees are in- volved in the walkout. .,.e The last passenger trains to leave the city departed just before the 5. P. M. deadline yesterday, one go- ing to Bridgeport and the other tc Hartford. There was no service be- yond those points. A New York Boston freight, which arrived al 3:3O P. M., was held up here with out completing its journey.
 Commuters who normally, leav, the city by train each morning fo1 out-of-town jobs today had to g by bus or passenger car. Taxicahl last night took several stranded raj passengers to Bridgeport and ever more distant points.

CContinued from Page 1O housing programs, the State will match whatever funds these com munities spend. Nothing happens if communities fail to SO ahead. and a number have demonstrated a lack of sympathy and interest al- ready"
 veterans still must apply the heat on local basis, and they still will run afoul of local zoning or- dinances, relief from which the leg islature refused to grant, even to permit erection of five-year tenn porary housing.
 ''The vets were sold down the ri- yer by the legislature, which Q short none months after the end of the war, has already forgotten it's debt to those who fought it.
 "The Assembly's bill on higher wages for State employees still leaves these workers scandalously under paid and dooms the inmates of State institutions to continue to live under conditions of barbarism rem- iniscent of Na1i concentration camps. Pay for State employees is still so low that few new employees will be attracted to institution jobs and the institutions will remain woefully undermanned. Those who do take jobs will be forced to live at such sub-standard levels that they will be fortunate if they don't wind up almost as much in need of selves.
 "On the question of Investigating conditions in institutions, the leg iSlature deliberately postponed the possibility of definite remedial ac- ton until the latter part of 1047 at the earliest, by passing the buck to the next regular session of the Assembly. The inhumanity of this willful procrastination should, as a matter of simple justice, haunt the consciences of the legislators until they have corrected their callous neglect.
 But how efficient the legislature proved itself to be when it came to providing the political leaders with patronage! A half million dollars was appropriated for the politicians to pass out to their favorites through the creation of Q new statutes revi- sion body and new aeronautics de- pertinent.
 Public hearings on the various measures before the Assembly were crammed into a few hours, an effec- tive means of erecting an iron wall of privacy between the legislature and the people.
 "Is 1t any wonder that progressive and thoughtful people are becoming more and more convinced of the necessity of political action?"
