Lord Mountbatten's S
Power Is Small
For Big Job

NEW DELTiI.-Lord Louis Mount
batten is arriving in India to face
a country either in tension or out
right turmoil and from this he is
expected in Is months to evolve a
sufficiently stable organization to
take over Self-government.
Perhaps never in India's history
has new viceroy arrived with so
much to do and so little power to
do it. Nevertheless, while the British
decision to withdraw also has re-
moved the ever-present British
determination to restore order at all
costs, it has given the viceroy one
new weapon. That is the right to
do nothing when troubles arise, but
merely to point out to the Indians
that they must get a solution now
because the British no longer are
making proposals but simply are
waiting to accept the beFt that the
Indians can devise by Gune, 1s4S,
when the British plan to Withdraw.
Internal Confusion.
Against that background some
thing akin to civil war now is being
fought violently in Punjab and non
violently in the Northwest Frontier
to determine whether India will be
united under one central govern
ment or divided into two states, one
predominantly Moslem, the other
overwhelmingly Hindu.
When June, 1948, comes the
Moslem League wants to be in con-
troll in the Northwest Frontier and
the Punjab. Opposing the Moslem
League in the Northwest Frontier
is the large body of Pathans who
adhere to the predominantly Hindu
Congress largely on personal grounds.
DR.. Khan Saheb and Khan Abdul
Gaffar Khan, Pathan brothers, have
remained personally loyal to Gandhi
and Nehru and to Congress. They
have retained majority in the
Frontier Assembly despite the
strongest efforts of the Moslem
League to win them over to estab-
lishment Of separate Moslem
state, referred to as Pakistan.
Pathans, who dominate in the
Northwest Frontier, hold all Pun
jabis in considerable contempt, al
though Sc per cent Of Punjabis are
Moslems. Many analysts studying
the situation predict that unless a
strong central government or a
strong Pakistan government is es-
tablished the Pathans will pull away
from India entirely and will become
a small independent nation or join
up with the Afghans.
Legislature Suspended.
Moslem followers in the North
west Frontier are conducting active
agitation with their provincial lead
er, Pr Saheb of Manki Sharif,
publicly announcing that their in
tention is to persist IN nonviolent
agitation until the Congress gov
ernment headed by DR.. Khan Saheb
is overthrown. This statement con-
flicts with claims of high Moslem
League leaders who insist that they
are agitating only for restoration of

as a result of the Senate Commit
tees investigation into labor man
agement problems. Before coming
to Washington, he headed the COM
mittee of the New York State Leg
islature dealing with labor and re-
lated problems. He is as well quail
fed by experience for his present
major task as any member of the
committee.
Most controversial of the major
proposals before Congress are those
10 outlaw the closed shop and other
forms of union security" and to
bar industry-wide bargaining. 1t
does not seem the latter will get
very far because of the opposition
to it of a part of management as
we'll as labor.
The House committee, however,
probably will call for an outright
ban on the closed shop and pos
sibly the outlawing of collective
bargaining beyond the company or
plant level. This will be done
largely. committee members admit,
so that the House will be IN bet
ter bargaining position itself, will
have something rather big to trade
off, when they meet the Senate
conferees to work out a lnal draft
of the bill.
Closed Shop Regulation"
Congress will regulate" the closed
shop probably by requiring the
favo- able vote of a substantial ma
jority Of workers in a plant before
it can be raised as an issue in
bargaining with all employer. There
also may be added prohibition
against strike action where the
closed shop is the sole issue in
dispute.
Senator Ives proposed that re-
fusal of an employer TO bargain
on a closed-shop demand be re-
moved as an unfair labor practice
in the Wagner Act. Support seems
to be growing for the New Yorker S
compromise.
In the dead duck" category along
with bans of the closed shop and
industry wide bargaining is the pro-
posal for compulsory arbitration of
disputes in industries vital to public
health, welfare and the national
economy. Both labor and manage
ment have blasted the proposal and
Congress has lost interest in it.
With compulsory arbitration out
of the picture, support has increased
for two other plans for dealing with
so-called strikes against the public
interest. The first and more promi-
nent calls for restoration of the
Governments authority to seize ia
cilities, which ceased December 81
when the President declared war
hostilities ended.
Interest in the seizure approach
was revived by the Supreme Courts
decision in the mine workers con-
tempt case, which held the Govern

LABOR MEASURES
 TAKEN FOR BRIEF
 WHIRI BY SENATE

i Senate Committee airm Il cleaned out cubbyholes Saturday morning in an effort to get odds and ends bits of legislation disposed , of before the deadline clamped down on other than appropriation and tax measures. The Senators spent Saturday morning on their committee clean-ups.
 Saturday afternoon, they passed on half a dozen last bills, with three labor measures taken for a merry -go-round ride that ended no- where. Two bills highly advocated by organized labor: A wage collec- tion law and an equal pay for equal work law, both authored by Rep. Garnick, H. B. 24 and H. B. 8l, respectively, were given whirl through second reading, then left l to die on the vine, as the Senators refused to suspend the rules to put them on passage before the expira- tion of the seth day
 Evening the score somewhat, the pro-labor 5ccp in the Senate though lacking enough votes to push the two Garnick bills along was strong enough to dish out the same kill it with kindness treat ment to perhaps the most labor re- strictive measure of the current session.
 Without fanfare, Senator N. R. l Walkers S. B. 53 was jerked off the table at the beginning of the Sat urday afternoon session. It too made the trip through second read l ing, then failed to rally two-thirds for advancement, though there was not the slightest chance that it could get through the House if 1t did pass the Senate. s. B. 93 would have placed equal responsibility on unions for contract breach, requir- : ed union incorporation and set up compulsory arbitration; three mighty bitter pills for union pow CTS that be to swallow.
 Abiding by the established rout- ing, the Senators closed out the afternoon in executive session, '" then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.
 Turning into the last four days, the Senate still had 29 bills and 2 memorials kicking around There were Is Senate bills, five of them tax and appropriation measures; the rest dead. Thirteen were House Bills; three of them on the table, five of them carrying appropria-

BETTE DAVIS K IN GREAT FILM
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Terse with powerful drama starring Bette Davis at her best, Warner Bros latest emotional treat, The Corn Is Green at the 20th Century tonight for the last times, is a grade-A piece Of entertainment, providing the cele- brated screen star with a role the like of which has twice before won for her an Acamedy Award. Trans formed from Broadway stage hit to a compelling motion pie .ture, perfect in every detail, The Corn Is Green tells the story of a high-spirited Englishwoman's struggle to raise the educational standards of tEe impoverished miners of Wales at the turn of the century, and has flavor and substance that leaves deep im- pressicn. Tender with poignant moments of sadness and joy, the film is a moving tribute to all nen and women of good will who have fought for tolerance through out the ages
 As Miss Moffat, Bette Davis brings to the screen new and different personality and makes a memorable screen portrait of the discovers in an untutored young coal miner, Morgan Evans tJohn DalD, the spark of genius which marks him for greatness. Hers is the struggle that leads to his development and hers is the pride in his growth. His climb, from a clapboard school room to the coveted spires of Oxford Univer- sity, belongs to her-as does the heartache and loneliness so ex- elusive to those who struggle alone against tte sometimes ignorant conventions of life.

Railroads Petition ice
For Freight Rate Rise

which would yield more than a

Contending that upward adjust

mand for improved service, all 500
operating lines joined in the petition
filed with the commission late yes

They requested authority to raise
rates an average of is per cent in
all parts of the country. The pro-
posed revisions were estimated to
yield $1,091 100000 a year in addi-
tional revenue.
The lines ask for a Is per cent
increase in the Eastern States north
of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers
and for a Is per cent increase in
the rest of the country, with higher
charges for special services such as
