{ 'CODtlnueQ from riIStz Fhke.s
scheduled to begin April rs. The
Truman bill would repeal the
Taft Hartley law and replace II
with somewhat enlarged version
Of the Wagner Act Of 1885. $50
No definite administration de-
cision on these amendments has
been made, but the tendency to-
day was so marked. and In such
important Democratic circles, that
observers could have no doubt the
idea of compromise was getting
the closest attention.
One influential administration
leader in the House told a re-
porter:
Il think that out of this present
situation we may be able to get
the best labor law the country
has ever had. There seems to be
q desire on both sides to get a
little closer together"
Victory Predicted.
Introduction OF the new Wood
bill was a significant step in the
political jockeying for position. 1t
is supported by large group OF
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis who want to keep most OF
the Taft-Hartley law. They are
predicting victory for it.
Mr.. Wood said in a statement
that it incorporates the best fea-
lures" of the Taft Hartley Act
but makes many" changes Of
''liberalizing nature" in order to
meet criticisms by labor unions.
Mr.. Wood himself was out OF
town, and the bill and statement
were issued for him by Repre-
sentative Cox. Democrat, OF
Georgia:
House Republicans made nc
secret of the fact that they had
much to do with forming the bill
They told reporters 1t was cis-
cussed early this week in con-
ferences attended by Republican
members of the House Labor
Committee, and by Representa-
tives Martin of Massachusetts,

Acheson Sees Victory
For West, but Warns
OF Lengthy Cold War
E Gosnett D. Horner

Secretary of State Acneson be-
heves the forces of liberty have
gained the initiative" but that
tie cold war with Russia may
last long time.
He expressed these views in
prepared Pan-American day
speech before the Council of the
Organization of American States
and In an informal response to-
a. luncheon toast at the Pan
American Union Building yester-
day.
Asserting that the world Is in
volved in struggle between two
opposing forces, he said the out
come will be victory for the west
ern democracies provided they
display "unending diligence" and
"unending courage no matter how
difficult conditions may be-"
!. Mr.. Acheson spoke against the
background of a particularly Sue
cessful period for Western di-
plomacy. The last two weeks have
marked signing Of the North At
lantic security pact and complete
agreement among the United
States, Britain and France on the
future of Western Germany.
Many problems remain. Turk
ish Foreign Minister Necmeddin
Sadak, who conferred with Mr..
Acheson Tuesday. pointed UP one
of them at a news conference yes
terday. .f
Mr.. Sadak made clear that he
strongly hopes this country even-
tually will support the organiza-
ton Of a Mediterranean defense
alliance comparable to the North
Atlantic treaty. He said Turkey
considers the Atlantic Pact "in-
sufficient in some aspects for the
maintenance of peace on the con-
tirlent of Europe" There was no
official American reaction, but this
Government is understood to con-
slider the time is not ripe for seri-
Gus consideration Of Mediter-
ranean alliance.
A major problem on the other
side of the world received Mr..
Acheson's attention in a letter to
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. fiat
ly opposing a proposal for another
$500. 100000 in military and
economic aid to China.
MIR. Acheson wrote that II this
country undertook a program OF
such magnitude as proposed in
the bill introduced by Senator Nc
Carran. Democrat. of Nevada. the
outcome would be catastrophe" ="
He pointed out that the military
situation in China has "crumbled"
despite "over $4,000 100000 in
United States aid since vi day."
There is no evidence that addi-
tional material help would alter

con remarks. Mr.. Acheson said II
should like to say our troubles are,
tn my opinion. only temporary and
that they will shortly disappear. Z
He added solemnly: But I cannot
In honesty say this" -
:, Without mentioning Russia di-
,rectly or specifying the develop
ments he had in mind, he reported
that Gin the past 18 months the
forces of liberty have gained the

agreed that the fee should be
$4,000.
To support his claim, Mr.. Sykes
outlined before the court the work
he had done in settling the aunt's
challenge of the will, appraising
the estate and preparing Federal
and State inheritance and income
tax returns.
Figure Called Excessive.
Albert E. Brault, who was re-
tanned by Mrs. Welden to dispute
Mr.. Sykes request for a $4,000
fee, contended that any agree
ment between Mr.. Sykes and Mr..
Lillard was invalid because the
fee must be set by the court.
Describing Mr.. Sykes figure as
excessive, he said Mr.. Lillard had
failed to inform Mrs. Welden of
the alleged agreement and asked
the court to fix a reasonable" fee.
F. Barnard Walsh, Rockville at
torney, said that from the testi-
mony, he believed the fee should
not exceed $500.
The court took the matter under
advisement.

Goes Against Nourse Course.
The new report seemingly
launched the Council officially on
a course which DR.. Nourse repudi-
ated-that of making recommen-

This was one of the conflicts
over which DR.. Nourse resigned.
He held that the agency should
be kept on a non-political. pro-
fessional plane, divorced from any
party program. 1t should not be
used, he held, as the advocate of
any pending legislation.
The new report declared that
there is no reason for erecting a
barrier between the Council and
Congress. It is important, the
report stated, that Congress have
access to our open and full dis
cussion of economic fact, outlook
and policy" 1t added:
