PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5-Three
Frenchwomen who came to the
United States to marry war veter-
ans, but failed to get in under the
freedom-of-entry deadline will be
permitted to remain In this country, i,
an immigration spokesman said to-
day.
Karl Zimmerman, district direc-
tor Of the immigration and Nat
uralization Service, said that "of
course, there are problems to be
worked out" but added that since
the Parisiennes attempted to leave
France in ample time to reach the
United States before New Years
Day, they will be allowed to
remain"
Precedent Set Last Week.
The women-Fernande David, %;
Anna Stein Goch, SO, and Felicia
Dumas, 25-have been wined and
dined, with Trans-World Airline
footing the bill, since their dismal
arrival Friday night at New Castle,
Del. @
Mr.. Zimmerman said the women
would be freed because a precedent
was set last week In New York
when 18 brides-to-be were. released
under $500 bond with the proviso
that they must marry to remain
here.
The statute which permitted
hrides-to-be to enter this country
without regard to quota regulations
covering immigration expired ut
midnight, December 81.
Two Fiances Located.
The three Frenchwomen were de-
layed by bad weather and were un-
able to land at New York.
Richard w. Roney, international
TWA representative, said the airline
located two Of the prospective BRIDE
grooms, Harold Skaggs of Kansas
City and Roy Morrison of Atlanta,
Ca, but were unable to find Frank
J.. Makara of Fall River, Mass.
Friends of the women or of the
prospective bridegrooms were to ap-
pear at immigration headquarters
to post the bond.

THE commission are opposed to
any change in the design OF the

LAS regards the White House the

Anti-InfIation Drive
lndorsed by Snyder
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder
today commended the voluntary
anti-infiation program Of the Amer
lean Bankers Association an
nounced last night by Joseph NJ
Dodge of Detroit, president Of the
association.
1T Is an aggressive voluntary step
in the direction of controlling in
flation and speculative loans by the
banks" Mr.. Snyder said.
1T is certain. that with the CO.
operation of the bankers of the
country, the program will succeed
in obtaining positive beneficial re-
suits" s. ~
The program, In which the as
ISOLATION hopes the Nations $4,000
banks will join, stresses four points:
/. No commodity and inventory
loans designed to withhold essen
tial goods from normal market chan
nels in anticipation of price rises
should be made in the months i'm
mediately ahead. .5..
2. Mortgages for non essential
auilding, or construction which can
oe postponed until supplies and Ia
oor are more available, should be
discouraged.
3. Banks should give priority to
borrowers who can turn out supplies
and services needed here and abroad
now.
4. There should be greatly in
tensif1ed drive to sell Government
savings bonds to the public and to
promote other forms of savings to
absorb surplus money which other
wise would continue to compete for
goods and services in short supply.

all to sell the rest as fast as good
business practices would permit.
Mr.. Pauley told the committee he
never had any inside" Government

GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC.
Taft Hartley Act-The corpora
ton says it is vital that the non
Communist ,affidavits and financial
statements required under the act
be signed in order that it may pro-
tect itself in future labor disputes
GSI argues that an "unqualified'
union such as the cafeteria workers
has no recourse to services OF the
NLRB, and consequently, the unions
only recourse in labor disputes Is
to strike. This would place GSI in
IAN intolerable position when it is
considered that its services to Fed
eral employees would be in constant
jeopardy Of interruption" the COM
pany asserts.
New Contract-The company says
it "does not wish" to see its en-
ployes suffer because of the impasse
and has granted them a 81 cent
an-hour raise, providing they re-
main on the job. ....
Unions eligibility to represent
employes-GSI contends the union
is unqualified to represent the en-
ployes before the NLRB and there
fore discussion Of a new contract
seemed pointless unless the unions
were fully qualified to settle the
matter" Furthermore, the company
says 1t has real doubt" that the
union represents a majority of its
employees. And it says that other
labor unions are interested in
organizing the employees which it
contends would make the company
a Sitting duck" for raids by these
qualified unions on the unquali-
fed CIO Cafeteria Workers Union.
communicable company says
1t has heard" charges that the
United Public Workers Of America,
with which the cafeteria union is
afiiliated, sis Communist -inspired."
GSI says it wants to have this
matter clarified before contracting
for employment exclusively within
Government - buildings" X Further
more, GSI says that with the en-
phasis on the Governments own
loyalty program of Federal workers,
lit seems not only incongruous
but peculiar that these union OFF,
cials should refuse to, sign such
affidavits.''e Il - !

UNION.

Taft Hartley Act-The CIO Cafe
terra Workers Union has refused to
sign Communist affldavits and
financial statements as provided by
the Taft-H Hartley Act If both the
employer and employees are to be
eligible for the services of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. 1t
bases it's refusal to sign on the con-
tention that it is not union certi-
fed by the NLRB and has never
been" certified by the NLRB. The
union blames this non-certification
on what it says was GSI's refusal in
1898 to give it bargaining rights ION
the ground that its governmental
status gave it an immunity from
the Wagner Act" An informal elec-
ton, conducted by the Labor Board,
finally was held and since then the
CIO United Cafeteria Workers have
represented the employees, the union
says. .r. ...t-
New Contract-The dispute over
the non Communist issue has stalled
negotiations on the Unions wage
demand of Is cents-an-hour raise
for its members, plus liberalization
of other working conditions such as
retirement and sick leave.
Unions eligibility to represent en-
rlOyes-The union says it represents
nearly 100 per cent" of all eligible
GSI employees. Failure to sign the
affidavits does not disqualify the
union, its officials assert. They say
the sole purpose of the board it to
redress unfair labor practices either
by unions or by employers" A
union by failing to qualify "does not
insulate itself" from NLRB jurisdic-
ton to redress unfair labor practices,
the union contends. It points to
what it says are Hundreds Of
thousands" of employees in private
industry who "enjoy the benefits
Of collective bargaining agreements
signed by unions which have not
signed the affidavits." "An en-
ployer is still required to deal with
the freely chosen bargaining agent
of its employees" it says.
COmmunism-The union char
acterizes this as a "phoney" issue
raised by GSI in "its attempt to
break the union" "An obvious at
tempt to capitalize on the witch
hunt hysteria which now dominates
the Nations Capital" It denies
"the slur on our members"
