other Senators who voted with Mr..
Taft.
1850 Issue Expected.
Organized labor is expected to
make the Taft bill a major issue
in the 1850 congressional elections,
however.
Representative Priest Of Ten
nessee, assistant Democratic lead
er, is inclined to believe the House
will have another go at the labor
bill before this session ends, but
he would not speculate on the
outcome.
The first problem confronting
House leaders is to get an agree
ment in the Labor Committee, to
which the whole subject was re-
committed earlier in the session
when administration floor man
ayers found they could not get a
full repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law through that branch.
The Senate had sealed the fate
of the repeal drive several days
ago when it adopted a Taft mo-
ton, writing into the repeal bill
specific authority for the Presi-
dent to use plant seizure or in
functions to delay national emer-
gency strikes.
It took the final step yesterday.
by adopting. 40 to a. the rest Of
the Taft amendments, preserving
the closed shop ban. temporary
injunctions against unfair labor
practices and a score Of other
Taft Hartley provisions. On final
passage. the result was 81 to AZ.
At this point Vice President
Barkley announced that the Sem
ate had knocked out all but the
first nine lines of the administra-
ton bill. Those nine lines in
cluded the sentence by which Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat of Utah,
had intended to repeal the Taft
Hartley measure, but it had been
reduced to an empty phrase by
the Taft amendments.
Senator Thomas then had the
Senate adopt without a roll call
a motion changing the title Of the
bill to correspond with the official
designation of the original Taft
Hartley law.

Britain Yields Trif|e
To American Demands
In Trade Compromise
by the kssoeiofsd Press


- PARIS, July 1.-Pushed and
prodded by the United States,
Western Europe moved one small
step toward free competition in
trade today.
w. Averell Hartman. American
Ambassador at large to the Mar
shall Plan countries, announced
early today that a midnight ses-
sion of Europe's top economists
had reached a compromise be-
tween American demands for freer
trade among European nations
and British demands for con-
tinued stringent regulation.
The economic differences be-
tween free enterprise America and
Socialist Britain, which many
diplomatic observers had feared
might affect Anglo o-American
political harmony, were resolved
on basis which eased-but did
not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
A small amount of trade-less
than 2 per cent of the normal
$8,OO0 100000 yearly volume-will
be conducted on a multilateral
competitive basis. Since the war
most European trade has been
conducted on a bilateral barter
system.
Britain's Reserves Low.
Last year, when distributing
Marshall Plan dollars, the United
States was careful to make no
moves which might upset this
delicate barter balance. This year,
however, the men running the
European Recovery Program felt
the time had come to loosen up
trading practices.
Britain, her dollar and gold re-
serves dangerously low, argued
that Europe's economy was not
sufficiently recovered to be set
free of rigid safeguards.
The opposing points OF view
clashed at the annual policy meet
ing of the Organization for Euro
pean Economic Corporations
group which suggests how Mar
shall Plan money should be split
up among the European states.
Part of Loans Transferable.
The new compromise plan pro-
vides that Is per cent of the loans
given by one European country
to another may be transferred by
the recipient to still a third coun-
try. twenty-five per cent of the
dollars involved will be transfer
able, too.
AS an example-under the new
scheme, Britain would lend pounds
to France as before. The United
States would give Britain dollars
equivalent to the pounds lent
France.
France may want to buy ma
chine tools which are available in
either Britain, which lent her the
money, or Sweden.
If France finds it can buy the
same quality machine tool in
Sweden for a lower price, it can
transfer up to Is per cent of its
credit in Britain to Sweden. Swed-
en- in such a case would get 25 per
cent of the counterpart dollars
also. s~
This device does not go nearly
so far as the United States
wanted, but it is hoped it will start
European trade back to a free
competitive basis.
The United States wanted to
make all European currencies
mutually convertible.

GOVERNMENTS:
'Poorhouse' State?

The COP was kicking around
new label for the type of govern
ment it contends the Truman ad-
ministration is gradually bringing
about in the U. S. This time it
was the "poorhouse" state, as
compared with welfare" state as
had been charged previously.
PRESIDENT MAN had
grabbed up the tag welfare" state
and took the line that if that was
proper tag for all the progress and
improvements his administration
was bringing about, then the Amer
lean people ought to go all out for
the welfare" state. In that he
had the support of many of the ma
tons newspapers.
COP National Chairman Guy C.
Gabrielson, in answering Mr.. Tru-
man, accused the Presidents ad-
ministration Of leading the U. S.
to "poorhouse" state and to ag-
gravation of a serious unemploy-
ment problem in this country.
Gabrielson charged that recent
tariff cuts ordered by the President
under the reciprocal trade agree
ments act, renewed by the 8lst
congress, have resulted in the "ex.
porting of jobs of American work.
ers in hope of providing jobs for
workers abroad"
Asserting that Democrats not
only are spending money that will
have to be repaid in taxes COL
lected hundred years from now,
Gabrielson declared:
eff WE CONTINUE under the
present administration we are
headed for a poorhouse state, and
while the inmates of a poorhouse
may have certain amount of
security, their lot is not particular
ly enviable."
The COP chairman added that
the policies of the present admins
tration are directed toward de
stroying the American system of
free enterprise"
That's a familiar cry from the
COP, but on the basis of past hal
lot records, it has little weight with
the majority of US. voters.

'KICKBACK'::
Scion Accused

The long-postponed trial of Rep.
> perneR Thomas IT., N. s.
opened with charges that he forced
former secretary and codefend-
ant to aid him in salary "kick-
back" scheme.
THE CHARGE against Thomas
was made by John R. Fitzpatrick,
attorney for Miss Helen Campbell,
one-time secretary to the former
chairman of the house un-Ameri-
can activities committee.
Both Thomas and Miss Campbell
were charged with fraud and con-
spiracy by which the congressman
allegedly padded his office payroll
and took salary "kickbacks" from
two employees.
If convicted, the representative
would face up to 80 years in prison
and fines up to $4,000. The house
OF representatives would have to
decide whether he could remain in
congress. Miss Campbell would
face a somewhat lesser penalty.
MISS CAMPBELL'S attorney con-
coded that she aided in the ''kick-
back" scheme, but only under
Thomas orders, and denied she
was guilty of conspiracy. Actually,
he said, she went to the justice
department and voluntarily told
Everything the government knows
about the case"
The government claims the al
legged plan netted Thomas a total
of $8l2 While he is accused of fill
ing false payroll claims totaling
nearly $1.700, it is not alleged that
he got all the money.

CENSUS:
Tell II All

Mr.. and Mrs. America will be
asked practically to tell it alp
when the federal census takers
start by next April l. About every
fifth person contacted by the enum-
orators will be asked to give even
additional information to that
asked in the routine process.
Here's what each person will be
expected to tell the census taker:
Age, relationship to the head of
the household, race, sex, marital
status, birthplace, citizenship stat
US, employment status and occupa-
ton
EVERY FIFTH PERSON, in ad-
dition, will be asked:
Where he or she lived a year
ago. Country of birth of parents,
length of schooling and school at
tendance. For adults in the one
in-five category, the enumerator
will press for data regarding in
come, employment, and status as
veteran.
And, if you happen to be No. 80
or any multiple of that number on
the list, you will be asked to di-
vluge still additional information
regarding unemployment, details
of your marital status and the
number of your children.
When the census is completed,
the bureau expects to be able to
give authoritative information re-
garding housing, mortgages, utili-
ty bills, rentals and household con-
veniences.
CONGRESSMAN, as per tradi-
ton, will have big hand in NAM
ing district supervisors for the CEN
sustaining. In March, these district
supervisors will undertake the job
of choosing their crew leaders and
enumerators. Those chosen will
have to go to training schools and
be ready by April l to start their
search for personal facts.

CHINESE:
Trigger-Hoppy

The muddled China picture was
getting no clearer, and the US.
again had been put in the middle.
INSULTED by China Commu-
nists who had imprisoned (but
later released) the U. S. consular
attache, Angus Ward, Americans
fumed anew as Chinese National
lists, supposed friends of the US,
were charged with firing upon a
U. S. vessel, the Sir John Franklin.
The incident occurred off Shang-
hal.
The ships owners released a
radio message from the skipper of
the ship who charged that two
Nationalist warships had ignored
his order to halt for a boarding
party and had, instead, raked the
vessel with a constant barrage"
of shells, almost at point blank
range. The ships owners demanded
that the U. S. act to curb the "trig-
ger-happy" Nationalist.
The state department said it
would protest Theoretically" to
the Nationalist government The
U. S. agency entered the picture
after receiving reports of the in
cident from Walter P. McCon-
aughy, U. S. consul-general at
Shanghai, who said no one aboard
the vessel was injured.
THE INCIDENT was the latest
in series of attacks or other mis-
adventures suffered by the COM
pany's vessels at the hands of the
Nationalist.
An unexplained angle of the sit
uation was the question of what a
merchant vessel was doing-or its
rights-in ordering a man-of-war
of the Chinese Nationalist to halt
for boarding party.

LABOR:
TIL Waiver Asked

A psychological swipe at the
Taft-Hartley labor law was taken
by employer association and labor
unions in the vast U. S. construc-
ton industry. Both joined in ask
ing the national labor relations
board for exemptions from Taft
Hartley labor law election require
ments.
WHATEVER EFFECT the move
might have on congressional action
on Taft-Hartley when members
convene in January, there was no
denying the action was well timed.
With employer associations throw
ing in with labor in requesting the
blanket exemption, opponents of
Taft-Hartley would find added
strength.
The construction industry's ma
jor management and labor groups
contend that strict application of
the TIL law to them will wreck
long-standing collective-bargaining
practices and hamper building ac-
tivities.
strategic maneuver, for with hous-
ing still short and the problem
still far from solved, anything
which might be considered as an
aid to increased building could ex-
pect to get some consideration
from congress.
UNDER PRESENT TIL LAW,
elections such as those mentioned,
vote must be taken before a
union can be certified as the proper
bargaining agent, and before a
union can get union-shop agree
ment-one that requires workers
after they are hired to become
members of the union.
1t is complete waiver of both
these provisions that management
and labor in the construction agen-
cy are asking.

they can't produce milk as rich

I went out to milk them just this

A-BOMB ITEMS:
Breeder Plonned

Those duly impressed by the
wonders Of science through the
years more or less expected the
announcement-bu no doubt, it
came as surprise to many that
the U. S. atomic energy commits
sion was preparing to breed" the
scarce atomic materials that make
the A-bomb explode.
HAILED as the biggest step yet
taken in the attempt to harness the
atom for use in industry, an en-
gineering plant for Experimental
breeding" of atomic materials
actually was on paper.
According to DR.. Lawrence Half
stad, top Acc scientist, atomic ma
terials, no matter how produced,
can be used for either bombs or
peacetime purposes. This would
include the hoped-for generation
of useful industrial power. He de-
clared that the designers of the
"breeder" device are confident it
would work.
Commissioners and aids also told
newsmen that by 1852 the Acc
should be building the first model
of an atomic engine designed to
! propel ships.

on a reactor-an atomic furnace
Aexpected to yield Significant
\ amounts" of electronic power and

4 atomic materials as it goes along.
THIS, Acc AIDS SAID, is dis
tinguished from the experimental
"breeder" whose primary purpose
would be to produce new atomic
materials, with power production
only a sideline.
DR.. Hafstad said the breeder"
reactor would be built at Arco,
Idaho. He added that if it works,
it will ease greatly the difficulty
of getting more fashionable ma
terial. In breeding" the scientists
put some fashionable material in
the furnace with a larger amount
of non-fissionable. They hope, in
the process, to make some of the
latter into fashionable material and
thus have a net gain.

POPULATIONS:

According to a US. department

THE REPORT predicts that the

The "high level" assumptions on
which the report is based are a

high fertility, low mortality, an
nual net immigration to the U.S.,
and high degree Of internal mi
gration-that is, moving back and
