AT Oak Ridge Dissolved
By the Associated Press

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, June 12.-
An injunction which has prevented
a strike by 875 workers at an Oak
Ridge atomic plant was dissolved
yesterday by Federal Judge George
C. Taylor.
No strike is in prospect immedi-
ately, however. as company and un-
ion representatives are negotiating
a new work contract.
The injunction, first ever obtained
under the Taft-Hartley Acts ma
tional emergency provision, pro-
vided an 80-day cooling off" Pc
riod. 1t prohibited either strike
or lockout.
The workers have authorized their
union, the AFL Atomic Trades and
Labor Council, to call a strike at
the plant. the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, which is operated by
Carbide & Carbon Chemical Corp.
Dismissal Of the injunction left
the union legally free to call a
strike, but its negotiations with
Carbide continued uninterrupted.
The union is seeking pay raises
of 26 cents an hour. The company
reported it had offered an average
of 10 cents. The present avera {
wage is S1.38 an hour.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June H.
Gov. James H. Duff and other top
Pennsylvania Republican leaders
were reported at odds today over the
strategy of the States potent 73-
member delegation to the Repub-
hcan National Convention.
John M. Cummings, Philadelphia
Inquirer political writer, quoted Mr..
Duff as saying he is ready to fight
to the limit any move to undermine
his plan to keep the delegation un-
pledged until convention time.
Raymond c. Brecht of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin said "a smoldering
battle between the Governor and
Senator Martin has left the secret
stage and f1ared into the Open"
Mr.. Cummings said Gov. Duff
particularly was incensed at reports
G. Mason Owlett, Republican ma
tional committeeman and president
of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers
Association, was trying to line up
votes in the delegation for Gov
Dewey Of New York.
II was never for him Gov Dewey
for President and am not for him
now" Gov. Duff was quoted in the
Inquirer as declaring.
Asked about the Inquirer story,
Gov Duff said: Il am not going
to comment on that at all
In Philadelphia Mr.. Owlett said
sit is my belief that peace and
harmony will prevail in the States
delegation.
Senator Martin also said in Wash
ington that he did not believe
there is any serious friction in the
ranks of the Pennsylvania Repub-
licans. I have made no commit
ments of any kind"
Mr.. Duff has been privately re-
ported as leaning toward Senator

After the trustees meeting, an

The 1916 fund, originally about
s26,000, 900, will be exhausted by
July /. Mr. Lewis has used it to

Mr.. Van Horn already has pending
in District Court a suit to invali-
date a Bridges-Lewis plan to pay
sl00 monthly pensions to the min
ers. It will be heard in District
Court next Saturday by Justice T.
Alan Goldsborough.
As a result of the Van Horn suit
and the inability of both sides to
agree on just how much of the fund
should be spent for pensions and
how much for other benefits, the
entire fund is tied up. But, Mr..
Lewis showed by pushing the new
resolution through the trustees that
he is getting ready for action should
Justice Goldsborough rule in his
favor.
The most important question the
Judge must decide Is whether deci-

President would have to notify Con-.

Federal Tariff Commission recon,-- :
lmendations in cutting import duties.
He also would have to explain why.
This compromise. worked out by
Senators Vandenberg, Republican,,
of Michigan and Millikin, Republi-
can, of Colorado would replace q
House provision by which Congress
could veto any tariff changes in
which the President did not follow
the commissions recommendations.
Democrats said they expect Sem
ate party members-except Senator
IODaniel of TexaS-to support a
proposal by Senator Barkley, DEM
ocrat, of Kentucky to extend ths
program three years without change,
But their hopes Of winning over
some Republicans faded after Sem
ators Morse. Republican, Of Oregon
and Aiken, Republican, Of Vermont,
who frequently bolt the COP line,
said they would stick by the party
on the tariff issue.
George Favors Three-Year Plan.
Senator George. Democrat. OF
Georgia told reporter that while
he thinks an amendment calling
for one-year extension ''as is"
might attract more votes, he will
support the three-year plan. -:
He said the Vandenberg- -Millikin
compromise is more attractive than
the House bill. which includes the
congressional veto. But he added
that he probably will vote against
the compromise because he doesn't
think the Tariff Commission can do
anything practical in one year.
There was some disposition among
other Democrats to let the whole
program die, rather than accept the

House Sponsor Urges
Senate Acceptance
OF His Refugee Bill
By the Assoeioisd Press

Representative Fellows, Re-
publican, of Maine expressed
hope today that the Senate will
accept without change House.
passed bill to admit 100000
homeless Europeans to this
country in the next two years.
IF they do" he said, I'VE can
get it to the White House quickly,
with no chance OF the legislation
getting lost in the last-minute rush
before Congress adjourns.
The Maine lawmaker said House
and Senate conferees will meet
early next week to adjust differ
ences between separate bills ap-
proved by the two houses. The bill
written by Mr.. Fellows sailed
through the House yesterday by a
289 -to-91 vote.
Differences in Bills.
Both measures set a two-year pc
riod for DIP immigration, but the
Senate bill puts the refugee total
at 100000. There also are other
points on which the two bills differ.
House critics of the Senate ver-
sion, led by Representative Celler,
Democrat, Of New York, complain
that it discriminates against Jewish
DPS, few of whom could meet the
Senate requirement that so per cent
of the admissions be farm laborers.
The less restrictive House measure
gives top priority to wide range
Of workers, including farm hands,
coal miners. doctors, dentists,
nurses, household and construction
workers, garment workers, teachers,
scientists and technicians.
Unlike the Senate bill, which does
not mention orphans, the House
bill also would permit the entry OF
unmarried minor orphan children"
who qualify as DPS.
Several thousand of these chill
dren would be granted special non
quota immigration visas.
Where the refugees come from is
another major point of conflict be-
tween the two bills.
Would Include 1000 Czechs.
The House version would limit
entry to 100000 of the homeless who
have lived in DIP camps or in the
occupied zones of Germany, Italy,
and Austria since April 81, 1947.
The date in the Senate bill is De-
cember %, 1945. The House bill
also would include 1000 Czech refu-
gees who fed when tthe Commu-
nists seized power in Czechoslovakia
last spring.
The Senate bill requires that so
per cent of those admitted to the
United States must come from
countries annexed" by foreign
power-which would mean heavy
immigration from the Soviet-con-
trolled Baltic nations of Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia and from East
Polish territory ruled by Russia.
In addition to the usual immigra-
tion restrictions, the House bill
would set up three-way screen
ing process" to bar undesirables.
The Senate bill does not charge
the refugees against regular immi-
grafton quotas. The House bill does,
but says at least so per cent of each
country's quota must be left open
for non-refugees.
The House bill would allow $4,000
refugees already, here to remain in
this country if they meet other
qualifications: the Senate bill does
not contain this provision.
