Senate Passes Drastic Labor Bill;
Devoll Case Suspect Believed Held
BILLS
PROVISIONS

WASHINGTON, May IS - ~
The labor disputes bill passed by
the Senate today is similar in many
ways to the one passed by the
House but differs in a number OF
provisions.
As they now stand, the House
and Senate bills both: .
/. Authorize the Attorney Gene
raj to seek 75-day injunctions
against national paralysis strikes
During that period there would
be compulsory mediation of the
dispute.
2. Outlaw jurisdictional strikes
and secondary boycotts. A second
airy boycott is a union effort to
hit directly at an employer by
forcing other employers to stop
doing business with him. The most
common. type of jurisdiciona]
strikes stem from a fight between
unions as to which should do given
work.
8. Set up a new federal media
ton service independent of the
Labor department.
4. Outlaw the closed shop, under
which an employer can hire only
union members.
S. Permit the union shop only
when a majority Of workers votes
for it. Union shop agreements
permit employers to hire anyone
they choose, but workers must
join the union shortly.
6. Ban the involuntary check
off system of collecting union dues.
Employers could deduct dues from
wages only if a worker consented
in writing.
7. Deny collective bargaining
rights to a union if any of its Of
ficers could REASONABLY be re-

Your Powder Dry,
Eisenhower "FOrmula''

WASHINGTON, May 10 - ~
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gave
this formula today for dealing with
the Russians: "Firmness, patience,
a sense of humor-and keep your
powder dry"
In reply to news conference
questions, the chief of staff said
he still believes that the possible
ty of another war in the immediate
future is remote.
There is no country in the world
today" he said, "that would pro-
mote a global war. No n is in
shape to gain a quick victory and
if you can't do that it becomes
a protracted, long drawn out af-
fair which no M can afford" =.
Eisenhower disclosed that the

er, although its highest ranking
member is only a colonel. The

theory of fighting a new war with
weapons and techniques left from

BY George Beveridoe

Gen. Omar Bradley's five-man
army of occupation" is expected
TO move out of the Veterans Ad-
ministration at the same time OF
soon after the general leaves next
week to become our new Army Chief
of Staff.
The occupation" tag was coined
by a veterans organization for the
small group of Army officers who
accompanied Gen. Bradley to the
agency two years ago and have
served in high posts since. In con-
versation, they apply the title jok-
ingly to themselves. The officers
are:
Col. r. T. Mcdonnell, former ad-
tutant general of the 18th Army
Group, which Gen. Bradley COM
manded in Europe. who is special
assistant to the administrator.
Col. w. F. Magill, president of the
Personnel ALLEGATION Board at VA
and chief administrative assistant.
Includes Overseas Aide.
1t. Col. Chester B. Hanson, Gen.
Bradley's aide overseas, who has
served in a similar capacity at VA
and holds the job of acting public
relations director
1t. Col. Harry Brown, an admins
trative aide to Dr. Paul r. Hawley,
medical director of the agency.
Col, T. J. Cross. deputy adminis-
traitor who is in charge OF the West

All five are expected to receive
Army orders returning them to mill
tary duty. Chances are, according
to officials, that at least Col. McDon-
nell and Col. HanSon-and probably
Col. Magill-Will stay with the gen.
eral when he takes over the Chief
OF Staff job.
Meanwhile, both Gen. Bradley
and DR.. Hawley, whose resignation
as medical chief was made formal
yesterday. voiced assurances their
leaving will not be followed by res
ignations from other top-notch Of
ficials, many of whom they recruited
from civilian life.
Gray's Appointments Awaited.
At the same time, agency officials
are curious about what appoint
ments will be made by Chester r.
Gray, the new VA head, when he
arrives January l.
Most important is the selection Of
a successor to DR.. Hawley-pr probably
the second most important post of
the entire agency.
BY far the most apparent candi-
date among those now at VA is DR..
Paul B. Magnuson, Chicago ortho-
pedic surgeon of note who has
served as Dr. Hawley's chief as
sistant. He had a strong part in
development of the highly praised
research and physician-training
programs in VA hospitals.
Asked about DR.. Magnuson, Gen.
Hawley said the choice would be
entirely up to Mr.. Gray.
Many officials believe Mr.. Gray
may bring along his own public re-
lations chief. He is known to have
kept public relations tightly under
his own thumb as vice president of
the Chicago 81 North western
Railway System, post he will re-
ngn to take the VA job.

Bradley leaves, until January !
when Mr. Gray arrives, VA will be
Under the direction of Omer w
Clark, the longtime official of the
agency who has taken over for Gen
Bradley during his spells away from
Washington.
Mr.. Clark, who probably knows
the inner workings of VA better
than any other official and had
been considered possible successor
to Gen. Bradley, has the job of
handling most important internal
problems of the agency before they
get to the administrator.
Col. Mcdonnell has held the SIM
liar trouble shooting" post to deal
with other problems that have come
to Gen. Bradley, but do not affect
directly operation of the agency.
Mr.. Clark said his Office now is
preparing brief on overall activities
of VA that will be presented to Mr..
Gray as soon as he comes to the
CITY.

OAKLAND, Calf. Feb. 15.-(P)
A 2~9-year-old University OF
California student preparing TO-
the ministry was shot to death al
/ a.. m. today in a West Oakland
Negro residential area. Twelve
hours later police said they were
mystified as to what led the
young man into the district.
He was George Marion Tibbetts
of Los Angeles who served in
Europe as an infantry lieutenant.
Police Inspector James Mont

Mrs. Willis saw Tibbetts hid

He said he got a fIashlight and
a pistol and went in search; thai
he found the man at a corner
of the house and called to him
to come out" At this j%uneture.
Willis declared, Tibbetts grappled
with him and he fired four shots.
Friends, including clergymen
with whom he worked, said lib

The American delegates, during
their listening r i Q d S. have
learned a good deal about what
others think of us. We have been
surprised to learn how many there
are who think that our nation is
not, as our national motto pro-
claims, zone out of many" but
rather, "many out Of one" They
think that bigotry and intolerance
are prevalent. In consequence, our
prestige in the world is greatly
weakened.
Most people of the world are not
white and they + not adherents
of the Christian OF the Jewish ira
ditions. In fact, no race and no
religion. can muster a majority OF
the whole. Thus no group is &C
cepted in the world as a friend,
if its members seem to be con-
temptuous of races or religions
different from their own.
For several centuries now, the
peoples of the Western democra-
cies, themselves a small minori-
ty, have had leadership in the
world. That is because, initially at
least, they made great contri-
buttons to human welfare. The
French, toward the end of the
Eighteenth century, exploded upon
world of despotism the revo-
lutionary slogan of human 'liber-
ty, equality and fraternity" Eng
land, since t h early days, has
nurtured equal justice. Later, its
industrial revolution S h owed men
everywhere how to be more pro-
ductive by using mechanical pow
er and machinery. In the United
States, our. founders launched the
great American experiment" as
a beacon Of liberty in the world.
However, many OF those IN the
Western democracies developed
an attitude Of superiority and
treated with contempt those OF
other races and other religions.
That has built up a sizeable back
log OF resentment in the world.
Throughout the world there are
agitators against tn e established
order. They are seeking to mobil-
ize the discontents a n d miseries
which exist in the world, and there
is plenty of both. There are many
ears which listen eagerly to Soviet
propaganda which features a So
called "classless' society. 1t that
goes on, the United States is in
a position of great peril. We would
be as a small boat in a tempestu-
Gus sea. ,
1t is both morally wrong and
practically dangerous for the Unit
ed States to have racial and re-
ligious intolerance. 1t must be
stamped out. President Lincoln

pointed out that our declaration of
independence gave promise that
in due time the weights should be
lifted from the shoulders Of all
men, that all should have an equal
chance" We must rededicate our
selves to that great goal of our
founders.
The best way for men and wom-
en- to achieve fellowship, accord
ing to my experience, is for them
to work together common
goals. When they do that, they
think of each other as comrades.
At the United Nations assembly in

the United States ''team" on trus-
teeship reflected the Jewish and
Christian faiths, the white and
Negro races, the democratic and
republican p ar S. The three
worked together without the slight
est sense of being different" We
were seeking a common goal and
conscious only of being persons
who could help each other.
That, to me, illustrates one way
to get the brotherhood we need.
Fellowship does not come readily
from an act of will, or from a
sense of duty. It does come readi-
ly to those who feel under a sense
Of urgency to achieve great HUI.

help, and that need is filled by
integrity and worth, qualities
which are not the monopoly of any
race or creed. Intolerance and
complacency usually go hand in
