COP. Hits Democrat
Use OF 'Steamro|Ier' in
Changing Tariff Act
by the Asseeioted Press

Irritated surprise was the
Democratic reaction today to a
Republican charge of using a
"steamroller" to drive President
Truman's legislative program
through Congress.
Representative Reed of New York
senior House Ways and Means Re-
publican, issued statement bristl-
ing with charges. He said some
businessmen hesitate to appear
against the Presidents foreign trade
bill for fear of retaliation" by the
administration.
I don't know what the man is
talking about" said Chairman
Doughton. He must not under
stand what is going on. I'm sur
prised."
Mr.. Reed issued the blast as the
administration piled up testimony
before the committee supporting
Mr.. Truman's proposal to repeal the
1s48 Republican Tariff Act and re-
store the old reciprocal trade law.
Charles Taft Backs Repeal.
Among those who had testified
were:
Charles P. Taft, brother of
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio,
Endorsed the Presidents call for re-
peal of the 1948 act.
Senator Taft, in New York to
address the Mortgage Bankers As
ISOLATION of America, was asked to
comment on his brothers proposals
and replied: Il never comment on
things sale by my brother or other
people generally"
Stanley H. Ruttenberg, CIO di-
rector Of education and research
who said: American labor knows
that when Huge American corpora =
tions shed crocodile tears over the
tale that imports depress American
wages, their real purpose is 10 re-
strict imports SO they can raise
prices to consumers and increase
their own large profits
Clayton Calls Imports Vital.
Walter d. Mason. AFL legislative
representative, who said the AFL
indorses the reciprocal trade agree
ments program, but suggested safe
guards for labor in some industries
competitive with imported goods.
William l. Clayton of Texas. for
mer Undersecretary of State, who
said America must import foreign
goods or keep on sending $4,000, ,000,-
900 or more abroad year so other
nations can buy American goods.
The President, under the Recipro-
cal Trade Act, had full authority,
without reference to Congress. to
reduce tariffs in pacts with nations
that agreed to lower their trade bar
Applies to Other Bills, Reed Says.
The Republican-controHed Con-
gress last year set up procedures for
detailed Tariff Commission studies.
Democrats contend these were de-
signed to slow down and ham
string" trade pact negotiations.
Mr.. Reed made a general charge
that steamroller methods are being
employed ito rush Mr.. Truman's
proposals through congressional
committees without adequate hear
Ings and to discourage opposition
from vitality affected groups of our
citizens"
He said this applied not only to
the tariff bill. but to such other
measures as those proposing repeal
of the Taft-Hartley Act and a boost
in the minimum wage.

The Hoover group also will rec
ommend that the Government, for
the next three or four years, start
a Nation wide recruiting system to
place veterans in jobs for which
they are particularly suited.
PAY-The Hoover group will
make strong recommendation for
increasing the salaries of top Gov
ernment officials and outstanding
professional, scientific, administra-
tive and technical personnel.
The commission, however, will not
call for upward pay adjustments

ploye. In fact 1t will declare that.
In recent years, the lowest paw

departments and agencies have
failed to develop adequate programs
for promoting career employees from

Civil Service Commission REQUIRE all
departments and agencies to work

Along these lines, it will recon-
mend that Congress provide the
commission with enough money and
authority to carry out this program.
as well as enough money for the
individual departments and agencies
to train the most promising career
employees for top executive jobs.
EMPLOYE PARTICIPATION
Another proposal that Government
employees will like is the one that
would require the heads of agencies
to provide for the positive partici-
patton of employees in the formula
tion and improvement of personnel
policies and practices.
One method that will be sug-
gested is the establishment of
councils within each agency to be
composed of both supervisory and

that Government agencies develop

greater participation of Government
workers in employees suggestion pro-

Riot Act Is invoked
In Canada Against
Asbestos Strikers
sy Ne kssaeiesss p,sss

ASBESTOS. Quebec. May g.
This violence torn mining town
invoked canada's Riot Act today
and ordered strikers to disperse.
Embattled strikers who had
blocked approaches TO the town
for a day and a night abandoned
their positions this morning.
About 200 provincial police REIN
foreements stood by under orders
to prevent further violence by
whatever means necessary.
About 5000. including workers
of the Canadian Johns -ManviIle
asbestos plant. have been on strike
for almost three months in this
asbestos belt. where most Of the
worlds asbestos Is produced.
From the steps of Ste. Aimee's s
Roman Catholic Church. Justice
of the Peace Hertel OBrady read
the riot act. But only q few
strikers were on hand to hear him.
He told them: Disperse and 90
home. Go to your regular occu-
pations. Those who don't are
liable to life Imprisonment"
50 Strikers Hear Order.
This would be an extreme inter-
pretation of the Riot Act, however.
Actually. Canada has not ordered
the strikers back to their jobs,
and the intent of this order was
merely to send the strikers home
so as to prevent further violence
or so-ca1led "riotous assembly"
Among those who heard the
reading were about 50 strikers
routed from the church basement
by provincial police and arrested.

Guatemala President
Remains in Power 5
BY the AsSocioted Press

GUATEMALA CITY, Guate-
mala, April 7.-President Juan
Jose Arevalo remains in power in
Guatemala today. Reports of a
revolution here apparently stem
from nothing more than a robbery
of a customs house at Ell Carmen,
near the Mexican border.
A Mexico City report that the
chief of the armed forces, Gen.
Francisco Xavier Arana, had been
killed in revolt, appears to be
greatly exaggerated. At last re-
ports, Gen. Arana was in Vera
Cruz, Mexico, on combined busi-
ness and pleasure trip.
The presidential house an
nounced that a band of bad actors
and thieves" raided the Ell Carmen
customs house yesterday and stole
the safe. Reports from FL Car
men indicate about 80 men, armed
with rifles, were in the band.
News of this was not generally
known here last night when there
were reports of revolutionary
movement in the northern part OF
this republic.
Last week it was announced that
several army officers had been
arrested in connection with what
was described as the 18th attempt
to overthrow Arevalo's govern
ment.
