|G.0.p. Senator's Clash
Publicly on Subsidy
To Import Farm Help
BY mo Asseeioisd Press

Republican Senators claShed pub
licly yesterday over whether spend
ing up to $4,000. 900 to import farm
labor from Mexico, Jamaica and
other countries would constitute on
agricultural subsidy.
The division Of opinion developed
before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, considering q House -ap-
proved bill to continue the labor i'm
porting program begun during the
war to help farmers in labor short
areas.
"This is q subsidy" Senator KEN
R. Of MOI, told the committee
with the war over now for two
years, I think it's about time we got
back to system OF free enterprise
with industry and consumers paying
the costs"
Young And Aiken Protest.
His remarks drew sharp protests
from two fellow Republicans. SEN
ators Young Of North Dakota and
Aiken Of Vermont.
when anybody calls this q SUBJ
sidy, I see red" said Senator Young
adding that II price ceilings were re-
moved from sugar and the price went
to 20 or 80 cents q pound, farmers
could afford to "get all the help they
needed"
Senator Aiken told Senator Ken
that the Government had "been
subsidizing industry at the rate oi
about $1,000, 100000 a year to bic
against farmers for labor"
IF any subsidy is justified
that's debatable-then this one is,
Senator Aiken continued.
Senator Aiken noted that the
Government is paying out $1O0, ,000,-
600 this year to "subsidize lead and
zinc mining" which are important
industries in Senator Kem's home
State Of Missouri.
Suggests Calling Witnesses.
Senator KEN turned to Senator
Aiken and said they could not hope
to reach agreement on their utterly
divergent ideas" at the committee
hearing and suggested witnesses be
allowed to answer his questions.
The hearing was on legislation
that would extend beyond June 80
the present foreign import labor
program at an estimated cost of
10000, 900 to $12,0O0,000 for the
last six months of the year.
Senator Bushfield, Republican, of
South Dakota, earlier had opposed
the extension, saying he questioned
that the Federal Treasury should
pay for this labor"
Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota, former governor of Min
nesota, tried to smooth over the
Republican dispute by saying he
was opposed to continuation of the
subsidy" labor program but point
ing out that it should not be re-
quired to lapse at the end of June
before most crops could be har-
vested.

The delegates ALSO instructed
their negotiators to propose that

Reuther Issues Statement.
Walter P. Reuther, president Of
the UAW-CIO, issued q statement
relative ito the 40-hour week de-
mand which read in part:
"A guaranteed weekly wage of 10
hours pay is the first step in laying
a sound basis for a guaranteed
annual wage"
There was no immediate COM
ment from General Motors.
The average hourly wage rate OF
General Motors employees is about
$1.31, according to both corporation
and union estimates. Thus the de-
mand increase, If granted in full
would boost the average workers
earnings roughly from $52.40 to $62
