Labor Bill Drafter,s
List Alternatives
For Several Sections
BY The Assoeioisd Press

The administration is prepar-
ing a substitute for the Taft
Hartley labor law with built-in
compromises to meet possible
objections from Congress, indus
try or labor.
| This. it was learned today, is the
plan being followed by a hveman
lawyer team assigned to draft the
new law. , ! .-..
! /. Write labor legislation which
can be sent to Congress with Presi-
dent Truman's blessing, and
2. Write, alternatives for several
sections Of their draft, as possible
substitutes along what may be a
Ebumpy legislative route.
They plan to file the gist of the
suggested new law with Mr.. Tru-
mans aides by Monday.
Proposals Kept Secret.
Exactly what it will contain is q
carefully guarded secret, but it was
reported to call for reinstatement.
of most of the old Wagner Labor
Act, plus some modified Taft-Hart-
ley provisions.
Secretary of Labor Tobin, back
ing up Mr.. Truman's pledge to re-
place the Taft-Hartley Act with a
fair" labor law, has said he ex-
poets to seek advice from industry
and labor.
The drafters' work probably will
be changed, in some respects at
least, on the basis of these talks,
with further changes likely in
Congress.
That is why alternate drafts of
the most controversial parts of the
suggested legislation are being
drawn up.
Single Bill Planned.
Right now the drafters expect
Taft Hartley repeal and a sub
stitute to be offered to Congress
in a single bill.
The men doing the drafting Job
are william .. tyson, LABOR De-
partment solicitor; Kenneth Meikel-
John, the departments liaison officer
with Congress-: Fred w. Livingston,
labor management consultant, and
Charles Donohue and Kenneth
Robertson, Labor Department at
torneys.
Mr.. Livingston, a former veteran
oficial with the National Labor Re-
lations Board and Labor Depart
ment, now Is in private practice in
New York. He and Mr.. Robertson,
a Labor Department attorney in San
Francisco, were called to Washing
ton for the bill-writing job.

Our society can i'll afford to have
civil servants become second class
citizens who are not likely to make
first class Government servants"
The recommendation carries con-
siderable weight due to the fine rep
utation that Prof. Roman and NYU's
Public Service Division have
achieved over a span of years. 1t
deserves the serious attention OF the
Civil Service Commission and the
Federal Personnel Council.
The report also called for lifting
of the $4,000 Government pay CELL
ing and substantial salary increases
for top bracket officials.
THE magnitude of the job of ad-
ministering Federal programs and
the responsibility which accrues to
these key career positions certainly
merits higher salary than the
present $4,000 limit allows" Prof.
Roman declared.
Present salary restrictions have
Il lost the Government many able
career people, and continuation of
the $4,000 ceiling will lose it more. ,

RANK -AND-FILE PAY Repre-
sentative Rees, Republican. of Kan
sas, outgoing chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee. was in
town the other day to attend to
some Office details.
| Mr.. Rees, who will now be the
Evening star., 1948-11-26

ranking minority member Of the
committee, said he intends to in
troduce legislation at the next ses-
sion Of Congress providing for re-
visions OF the entire Federal CLASH
fication Pay Act.
The Kansan said he hoped to in
troduce the bill jointly with the new
chairman, Representative Murray,
Democrat, of Tennessee. Mr.. Rees
said his bill would cost very lit
tle," which is a tipoff that it won't
include very sizable pay raises for
rank and-file employees.
He emphasized, however, that he
had not yet consulted with Mr..
Murray on the matter. Govern
ment employees groups are hopeful
that Mr.. Murray might agree to
legislation containing something
more than $75 to 500 annual pay
boost. However, it's more than
likely that Mr.. Murray will wait to
see what the White House stand is
before committing himself.

TOP TWO SALARIES-When the
Flanders Senate Civil Service SUBJ
committee holds hearings next
month on pay raises for top-bracket
Government officials, it also will
give close attention to the need of
raising the salaries of the President
and Vice President.
In fact, committee insiders predict
that, besides approving substantial
pay increases for top-bracket Fed
eral officials, the group will also
include salary increases for Presi-
dent Truman and Vice President
elect Barkley.
There appears considerable senti-
ment for increasing the Presidents
SIS, 900 a year salary to 100000 an.
nually, and increasing the $4,000
vice presidential salary to $4,000
q year.
Those favoring the move point oui
that the need for boosting these
salaries is obvious.
President Truman has confideC
that, after taxes, living expenses
and social obligations the President
must meet, he has, about $4,000 q
year left.

clio Sque|ehes Reds,
Will Re-eIect Murray
And All Officers Today
BY the Associated Press

= PORTLAND, Greg, Nov. 90
The CIo, having told the world
How 1t feels about Communists,
prepared to re-elect all its off,
Gers today and put on a wild
demonstration for Philip Muir
ray.
: Mr.. Murray. 81. now begins his
ninth year as undisputed leader of
the organization of 40 unions. His
policies are supported by at. least
6ine-tenths Of the delegates to the
convention that ends today.
: During four stirring days of this
convention, Mr. Murray departed
from his peace-making tradition Of
past years. He rose up in public
Tith a series of onslaughts against
the leftistS that will certainly echo
In CIO meeting halls throughout
This country and may have con-
siderable effect in the international
labor movement.
Communists and their friends in
the smaller unions of the left wing
have been squelched SO thoroughly
that their future is shaky indeed.
The convention yesterday gave
the CIO Executive Board almost
unlimited power to take the job of
organizing workers away from those
leaders.
The action came after Mr. Muir
nay declared he will not protect
"cliques of men whose interests
are promoted and propagated by
the Daily Worker and the Com
munist Party
The convention also provided a
steady income-more than 100000
monthly-for the Southern organiz-
ing drive, and more money for ma
tional CIO activities. This was
done by q 3-cent-a-month raise in
the per capita tax which OIO
unions pay to the CIO for each of
their members.
Left wing influence remains
powerful and thriving in the United
Electrical Workers Union, the
Longshoremen's Union, and the
tiny but well-knit Fur Workers
Union.
A political campaign against Al
bert J. Fitzgerald, president of the
electrical workers, has petered out.
Some vigorous right-wingers want
ed to defeat Mr.. Fitzgerald as a
CIO vice president. Mr.. Murray
wouldn't give his blessing to the
movement. So Mr.. Fitzgerald was
expected to be reelected without
opposition today, along with the
other eight CIO vice presidents.
Convention delegates are still dis
cussing-with excited argument
the speech Mr.. Fitzgerald made
Wednesday.
He said he didn't give damn"
for Russia and thinks Vishinsky
and Molotov have engaged in "sa-
ber-rattling and war-mongering."

Baptist Leader Attacks.
Catholic Statement on
Supreme Court Ruling
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Nov. GA state
ment of Roman Catholic bishops
criticizing a Supreme Court decision
has been attacked by Baptist
Church leader as apparently a
propaganda document Of the worst
kind"
The Rev. DR.. Stanley I. Stuber,
chairman of the Commission on Re-
ligious Freedom of the Baptist
World Alliance, issued a statement
opposing the views of the Catholic
bishops, but explained his was "a
personal opinion and not official &C
ton"
The bishops statement had been
highly critical of Supreme Court
ruling that religious instruction in
public schools is unconstitutional.
Stresses Dangerous Procedure"
DIR. Stuber, who also Is director
Of public relations of the Northern
Baptist Convention. said that Ito
accuse the Supreme Court of the
United States as ruling in favor of
an 'omnipotent state is a danger
Gus procedure.
1T comes near to being subversive
doctrine. There are so many mis-
leading statements in the pronounce
ment (of the bishops) that it war
rants a close examination to deter
mine its real underlying nature.
One has only to read the docu-
ment twice to reach the conclusion
that the bishops, instead of building
up a case against secularism in edu-
cation are, in fact, laying the ground
for public support of their QEn paro,
s6sal school system 1.-The ubviousl1
want to use tax money TO support
sectarian religion" =
Sees Separation of Church, State.
DR.. Stuber said the eight Supreme
Court justices who supported the
majority ruling. instead Of oppos-
ing religion, set it free from the
bonds of the State.
They especially stated that their
ruling was not against religion, but
against the violation of the consti-
tutional principle of the separation
of church and State.
Few will oppose the bishops in
sistence upon religion in our national
life. We do need more true religion
in all phases of life. But this does
not mean that we should turn our
public schools over to the church. -
