Some in Congress Hit
By Supply Bill Phrase
Aimed al Unionists
By the Assoeioied Press

Some members of Congress
holding union cards found their
$12,500 annual salaries momen-
tarily jeopardized today by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee.
The committee, in approving a
$56.056 $50 fund for the law-making
branch, added this recommendation
That no Federal funds be used to
pay the salary of any person in the
legislative establishment belonging
to a union whose officers have not
filed the non-Communist oaths re-
quired by the Taft-Hartley Act.
Aimed at GPO Workers.
The provision was aimed primarily
at Government Printing Office en-
ployes who belong to the AFL Inter-
national typographical Union.
But there are several Congress
members who are dues-paying
members of other unions whose
leaders have not complied with
that provision of the labor law An
Appropriations Committee spokes-
man said the wording of the recon-
mendation might affect them. But
there appeared to be no doubt that
If SO the provision will be rephrased
before the bill comes up for vote.
The committee turned down
subcommittee recommenda ton to
allow House members $3.50 a year
for long-distance telephone calls
That would have been in addition
to S2,500-a-year general allowance
given Congress members.
Cost Placed at S197 900.
The subcommittee had estimated
the annual cost Of the phone item
at $4,000 1t said all Offices In the
executive branch of the Govern
ment and all Senators now have
their official calls paid for by the
Government.
The House share Of the $56,o56,-
$50 in the bill is $17,846, ,045. approx
imately 100000 below the Presi-
dents budget estimates. The bills
total is s4,933930 under overall
budget estimates.
These were the recommended fig
ures:
Senate, s1o,611925; Capitol Police
force, $26,50O, a cut of $3.50: leg
islative counsel. 100000; education
of Senate and House page boys,

Italian Bank Governor.
Leading Contender in
Election Of President
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ROME, May 11.-Vice Premier
Luigi Einaudi emerged today as
the leading contender for the
presidency of the New Italian
republic. Barring unforeseen
developments, his election is ex-
pected tonight.
Mr.. Einaudi, "a, backed by the
dominant Christian Democratic
Party, is a political independent.
He is budget minister and governor
of the Bank Of Italy.
On the third ballot Of a joint
session Of the Senate and Chamber
Of Deputies, Mr.. Einaudi received
462 votes. This was far short OF the
two-thirds margin required for elec-
ton on any Of the first three ballots.
However, the constitution provides
that If the first three ballots are
unsuccessful a simple majority rules
on the fourth. The Christian DEM
ocratic support gave Mr.. Einaudi
more than a simple majority OF the
900 votes OF the two houses.
Sforza Quits Race.
Foreign Minister Carlo sforza, foe
of the Communists, withdrew from
the race last night after a day OF
bic .ering and two unsuccessful bal
lots. The Christian Democrats then
announced they were switching
their support to Mr.. Einaudi, who
had received a scattering OF votes
on the first two ballots.
Provisional President Enrico de
Nicola, who had the support OF the
Communist led Popular Front, had
been ahead on the first ballot. MI
de Nicola already has announced
his wish to retire.
There were 1863 senators and dep
uties present when the third ballot
was taken; Is abstained. The Com
munists cast blank ballots, in most
cases, against Mr.. Einaudi, and
there were indications that other
political groups, including possibly
Giuseppe Saragat's moderate So
cialists. did likewise.
Attacked by Communists.
The other ballots were DIVIDED
this way: Mr.. de Nicola, l3; Count
Sforza, 8; Vittorio Emmanuel Or
lando, 7: Ivanoe Bonomi, 4; De-
fense Minister Cipriano Facchl-
nettt. 3: Senator Alessandro Casati
3: There were six scattered votes
and eight voided.
The ballot meant that, barring
unforeseen developments. Mr.. Elm
audi would be the new president.
The Communists and other left
lists have attacked Mr.. Einaudi fire.
quently, accusing him of a money
pinching attitude against spending
for unemployment relief.
Mr.. Einaudi is an economist, poll
tician, teacher and journalist. He
taught finance at the University OF
Turin. He became governor OF the
Bank of Italy in 1914.
After Italy emerged as republic
Mr.. Einaudi as member OF the
Constituent Assembly was leader
against proposals to adopt in Italy
the American form of government
He asserted that only few words
in the United States Constitution,
setting up the judiciary to check the
powers of the presidency and Con-
gress, prevented the United States
from becoming a dictatorship.
Premier Alcides de Gasperi ap-
pointed him Italian representative
on the international Monetary Fund
and to the international Bank for
Reconstruction and Development.
Later he was named Vice Premier
and minister of the budget. His
efforts in the last year or SO have
been directed largely against defia-
ton and in securing money aid

Soviet Bloc Reported
Ready 10 Recognize
New Jewish Nation
sBy the Assoeiefsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. May IA
high-ranking United Nations dele
gate said today that Russia and her
satellites plan to recognize the new
Jewish nation in Palestine.
The delegate told the Associated
Press 1t is not certain yet whether
such diplomatic recognition will be
extended Immediately on proclama-
tion of an independent country by
the zionlsts. He said the decision
would be timed with developments
and that some Latin American re-
publics would join in the move.
Zionist Move Due Friday.
The Zionists have announced
they will proclaim a new nation in
their section of the Holy Land
under the United Nations partition
decision. The move Is expected
simultaneously with q British an
nouncement Of the end of the old
League of Nations mandate at mid
night Friday.
The delegate, who represents an
Eastern European country, said that
regardless Of any delay in full rec
ognition the Soviet bloc immedi-
ately will grant belligerent rights
to the Jewish nation.
This would give Zionist troops
the rights of war. Weapons could
be legally shipped into the country.
Jewish land. sea and air forces
would be recognized In interna-
tional law.
Guatemala and Uruguay, strong
supporters of partition, are believed
here to be the most likely of the
Latin American group to accord
recognition.
Assembly Meeting Month.
The Zionists are creating their
country under terms OF the U. N.
Assembly's 1947 decision to split
Palestine into independent Jewish
and Arab states. The Arabs, bitter
foes of the partition scheme, have
indicated they may declare one in
dependent country covering all Of
Palestine.
The current special session Of the
Assembly has been meeting nearly
a month without Affirming or re-
versing the partition decision. The
delegates were called together at
the insistence of the United States
to reconsider the Holy Land
problem.
