HouseW on Put Aside
Foreign Information
Exchange Measure
Bx The Assosioasd Prsss

The House refused, 303 to 28,
today to put aside the long-de-
bated measure authorizing the
Government to operate a foreign
information and educational
exchange program.
It was in a parliamentary situa-
ton where there had to be a motion
from floor leaders to go ahead with
the measure. Usually such a mo-
ton Is formality, but Representa-
tive Cole, Republican, OF Missouri,
who opposes the bill, demanded a
roll call.
Once that was out Of the way, the
House went back to debate with
leaders hoping proposed compro-
misses on sorne disputed points would
ease the way to final vote later
In the day.
Mundt Agrees to Board.
As the House met, Representative
Mundt, Republican, of South Da-
|kota said he was willing to accept
an amendment by Representative
Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois to
place the program under the eyes
LOT a 10-member bipartisan control
board.
Most widely discussed part of the
program are the Voice of America
broadcasts, by which the State De-
partment seeks to give the world an
accurate picture of this country's
foreign policy and of democracy in
general.
When the bill was before the
House several days ago 1t ran into
strong opposition and was laid aside
temporarily for appropriation bills.
Exchange Students Proposed.
Mr.. Mundt said that he would
agree. too, If necessary, to eliminate
a provision allowing the State De-
partment to pay $40 a day toward
the expenses of foreign dignitaries
who come to this country to par
ticipate in the program.
The chief controversy was ex-
pected to center around provision
authorizing the exchange of stu
dents and educators between this
and foreign countries on a recipro-
cal basis as near as practicable"
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
Of Mississippi and Representative
Hoffman, Republican. of Michigan
have attacked this provision in par
ticular, contending it would bring in
educators to poison" the minds of
American youth with Communistic
ideologies.

Paraguay LoYaIists Deny
Rebel Claims Of Victory
BY the Associoted Press

ASUNCION, Paraguay, June 13.-
Loyalist and rebel headquarters
issued conflicting reports today or
fighting in the Tacuati sector, with
insurgents claiming major victory
and government sources insisting
that the action had resulted in only
a brief rebel breakthrough which
had been quickly plugged by Loyal
lists.
Insurgents broadcast from Con-
cepcion that two Loyalist regiments
had been destroyed" 800 prisoners
taken and many top government
officials" killed. The government
admitted that the storehouse of q
government cavalry regiment had
been seized.

Mr.. Rogge said publication Of such

extremely difficult to get an i'm

DR.. Barsky said last March the
grand jury's action in indicting him
placed before the courts the whole
question of the jurisdiction, the
methods of procedure and the con-
stitutionality of the House COM
mittee."
The first such test case, against
Eisler, an alleged Communist agent
was decided in favor of the Govern
ment. Yesterdays decision of the
appellate court, however, enhanced
Eisler's chances Of winning mo-
tion for a new trial or an appeal.
The Anti-Fascist Committee de-
scribes itself as a relief organiza-
ton chiefly devoted to aiding Span.
ish republican refugees. 1t has
been described by the FBI as 8

Holtzoff, asserted the jurist, for

Taken in a police scout car to the

Spread Of Communism
Feared by Catholics
In Taft-HartIey Bill

The Social Action Department Of
the National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference voiced strong opposition to.
day to the Taft-H Hartley labor bill
as one which will almost inevitably
lead to industrial strife and unrest.
1t made four specific objections
among them one saying the require
ment that union officers disclain
under oath any Communist Party
links would lead to serious confu-
sion and play into the hands
of the Communists.
"It will prove to be very embar.
RAISING to the great majority OF
sincere anti-Communists in the
American labor movement" the
Social Action Department said.
Simply by refusing to sign the
required affidavit, single Com
munist officer could prevent ar
otherwise decent and legitimate
union from being legally certified
for purposes of collective bargain
ing.
This provision of the bill is cal
culated, therefore, to play into the
hands of the Communists, who
thrive on confusion and disorder
Attacks Legalistic Approach.
| 1t called this method IAN over
simplified legalistic approach
which =" is rejected as worse
than useless by the vast majority
Of those who have had practical
experience in combating the in
huence of the Communist minority
in the labor movement"
The National Catholic Welfare
Conference is made up of all the
Catholic bishops in the United
States who meet annually and elect
an administrative board of 10. These
10 administer various departments
of which the social action division
is one. Headed by Bishop Kari
Alter Of Toledo, the social action
department concerns itself with in
dustrial and economic problems. in
ternational peace, interracial mat
ters, etc.
Besides the Communist angle, the
department objected to the bill on
these grounds:
/. To outlaw the closed shop "is to
invite legitimate rebellion on the
part of organized labor and conse-
quently to encourage widespread in
dustrial unrest and confusion u
Closed-shop contracts, ain the vast
majority of cases, have operated and
are now operating to the mutual
benefit of labor and management
before legislation.
Foremen's Rights Defended.
2. Provisions directed against un-
lionization of foremen are an "open
invitation to foremen and super
visory employees to disrupt industrial
relations by fighting last-ditch
battle for the free exercise of
right which they know to be theirs.
3. The bill would tend to en-
courage the separate States to enact
antilabor legislation. 1t would dc
this by going out of its way in a
most unprecedented manner to pro-
vide that, in spite of Federal law
the States are free to outlaw the
union shop
The statement asked Congress to
reconsider the whole matter of labor
legislation with an accent on study
alike"

union would have no basis left TO,
continuing negotiations for a better
offer.
4. A provision limiting payroll
deductions for union dues after July
l, 1948, to workers who have SUBJ
mitted individual authorizations to
the employer, could force wholesale
cancellation of contracts-such as
the vital two-year agreement of the
CIO-SteelWorkers.
The analysis says that, while con-
tracts may call for continued dues
checkoff, the Supreme Court has
held that when a major section of
contract falls, the entire agree
ment may be reopened.
S. Maintenance of union men,
bership could be destroyed by the
provision holding that union can
force an employer to drop an un-
wanted member only for nom
payment of dues. The labor attor-
neys contend that if enough diSsi-
dent union members were involved
in a given plant the union. power
less to eXpel them, might find itself
unable to enforce its own contract.
This, in turn, could lead to an open
shop, or one in which the union
would not have the dominant voice
over workers.
6. The bill permits the National
Labor Relations Board to seek court
injunctions on the basis of unfair
labor practice complaints filed by
either unions or employers, without
the formality of board hearing on
the complaints themselves. The
analysis says this makes it too easy
to take labor disputes into Federal
courts and threatens to raise the
"bugaboo of Government by injunc-
ton"

could be held within three months
and six elections in the course OF

might be threatened by the require

of all voters in a given plant must

gaining agent. Thus those absent
