WASHINGTON, May 4-lR-The

Hungary and Roumania have re-
jected American charges that they

now discussing with other countries
the next steps to be taken.
In response to a question, Ache

BLOW
FROM HOUSE
Hits TRUMAN
Administration Is Given
Stunning Setback, Time
Being, on tn Repeal
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, May 4-tR The
stunning House defeat of Admins
tration efforts to repeal the Taft
Hartley Labor Law raised the pos
sibility today that President Tru-
man might carry his case direct to
the people.
Mr.. Humans assertion last week
that a vote ON this issue would be
regarded by him as test of party
loyalty backfired with PIT to
203 House vote yesterday approx
ing the Republican backed Wood
abor bill.
Major Defeat
For the President, this roll call
vote represented a major political
defeat on his campaign promise to
wipe off the books the Taft Hartley
Act passed by the Republican Both
Congress. This was true even
though the Wood bill was still
subject to final house action.
Rep. Priest tD-Tenn) saw fair
chance the House would sent the
bill back to its Labor Committee.
However, that would leave the
House with no Taft Hartley re-
pealer before it at all.
The White House kept silent to-
day on how the President felt
about the setback and what--if
anything he might do about the
II Democrats who voted with Re-
pubEcans for the Wood bill.
Reporters questioned Charles c..
Ross, the Presidents secretary.
They go this reply:
Il don't care to add anything to
what has been said
Break With Truman
For the II Democrats who voted
with 146 Republicans for the Wood
bill it represented a break with
the President which may easily be
reflected in opposition to other
measures on his program. The
coalition thus triumphed in the
biggest political test yet in the
3lst Congress.
This raised the immediate ques-
ton on Capitol Hill whether the
President might return to his Feb
ruary frame OF mind-when he
spoke openly OF touring the coun-
try If Congress failed to act on
his proposals.
Commenting ON this speculation,
Senator Pepper tD-Fla) said there
would be time enough next year"
for the President to tour the coun-
try if other votes go against his
program.
Another important part of that
programme Administration plan
for new farm aid system--is not
making much Roadway in Con-
gress.

new SEAPORT ON
BERIN6 SEA IS
NEEDED IS CLAIM

WASHINGTON, May = R =
Alaska needs better port facilities
and navigational aids to develop
Boring Sea fishery, says Fish and
Wildlife Service Biologist Joseph E.
King.
Writing in the Commercial
Fisheries Review, King describes an
expedition OF the Pacific Explora-
ton Company's motor vessel
Alaska, which fished for king crabs
iii the Boring Sea-
Most Of the fishing. says King,
was in an area SO miles long, 80 to
so miles offshore between Port
Moller and Black Hills, in the outer
portion of Alaskas Bristol Bay.
The most profitable fishing area,
IN August, was 275 to 300 miles
from the st. Paul marine radio
-eacon and ITS miles from the Cape
Sarichef station, King says. He
adds:
NEED RADIO BEACONS
LAS the accurate range OF these
stations is only 100 miles, they were
cf little value in determining the
vessels position If more active
fishery should develop with more
vessels using these waters, there
would be definite need for radio
beacons nearer the fishing grounds
The only port on the Boring
-ea side of the Alaska peninsula
within a reasonable running dis
ance of the fishing grounds tested
IS Port Moller.
This port is reached through a
shallow channel, at present buoyed
only by the local fishermen each
season. 1t is hazardous for boat
to be at the cannery dock when
a strong southwest or southeast
wind is blowing.
Although adequate for the exist
ing salmon fishery, if a substantial
offshore fishery should develop in
the area, additional docking space
and facilities would be necessary

WOOD LABOR
BILL IS GOING
BACK, HOUSE
Truman Democrats Score
Big Battle on Recon-
initial by Three Votes
BY MAX HALL

WASHINGTON, May 4-iR-Tru-
man Democrats today won a fight
to send the Wood Labor bill back
to House committee.
Their margin on the motion to
recommit was three votes-2l2 to
zoe.
This outcome left the House
with no labor bill eefore it--in
effect ending the great labor battle
with stalemate.
The administration was unable to
put through its bill to repeal the
Taft-Hartley law and enact labor
statutes more to the liking of
Unions.
on the other hand, it succeeded
IN preventing passage of the Wood
Gill which would repeal Taft
Hartley in name, but keep most of
its essential provisions.
House leaders Indicated that-in
event of such an outcome-they
would let the matter rest in the
Rouse I0r while.
STRATEGY
Their strategy is to wait now and
see what kind OF bill the Senate
may be willing TO pass.
The outcome OF the recommittal
vote was an upset fer Republican
leaders, who put the Wood bill
over in the House yesterday with
strong support from Southern
Democrats.
Yesterdays voting turned up a
margin OF 2l7 to 203 for the Wood
cill. That meant the administra-
lion forces needed to swing eight
votes overnight to put the Wood
oil in the cooler.
OBTAIN NECESSARY MARGIN
They succeeded in getting the
needed margin although there was
one more vote cast today than in
yesterdays ballot.
The motion to recommit was
supported by 1893 Democrats. 18
Republicans and one Americana
Labor member.
Voting. against recommittal were
- Democrats and lat Republicans.
The outcome served to take some
Of the ssting from the rebuff
handed to President Truman by
yesterdays vote. He had made
Taft Hartley repeal key point
OF his reelection campaign and
after yesterdays maneuvering it
appeared the administration could
not put it over.
Today's vote salvaged another
chance some time in the future.
Rep. Priest D-Tenn). the Demo-
cratic Whip" or assistant leader,
had the Job of rounding up the
needed votes for the overnight
shift.
Before the ballot, even he APP
peared to be uncertain whether the
administration could win. Priest
would say only that there appeared
to be fair chance.
There was some talk that the
House would make no fresh effort
20 pass labor legislation until az
er the Senate acted, but Speaker
aayburn tD-Texas) told reporters:
Il think the committee will go
to work at an early date on a bill,
without waiting Tor the Senate to
act. hope the committee does
this"
Across the Capitol. Senator Taft
Of Ohio and two other Republicans
introduced a new labor bill in the
Senate. Taft said it would retain
the best features Of the Taft Hart
,ey law"
Senators Donnell tR-Mo) and H.
Alexander Smith tR-NJ joined
Taft in sponsoring it.
In filing report on his bill.
Taft told the Senate it would make
% changes in the Taft Hartley
law and retain what he called %
important features OF that law.

NO U. S. AID FOR CHINA

WASHINGTON, May 4.-lR-
Secretary of State Acheson said to-
day the American official attitude
has not been changed by new
pleas for aid to Nationalist China.
Acheson was asked specifically
1t a news conference about the
proposal of former Gen. Claire l..
Jhennault that the United States
try again to rally opposition to
the Communist advance with a new
aid program.
The Secretary replied that our
attitude had not changed.
The State Department has taken
the position that further military
aid would be useless now.
