Predicts Tough Sailing
For Truman Labor Bill
Senote Moy Stort Debate
This Week.; Foes Claim
Powerful Support
BY the kssoeicisd Press

Another Democratic Senator
who once opposed any changes in
the administrations labor bill
came out today for a series of
amendments.
Senator Withers. Democrat. of
Kentucky. member Of the Senate
Labor Committee, predicted tough
sailing" for the bill even If the
amendments he has in mind are
adopted.
The Senate may start debating
the administrations Taft Hartley
repeater this week. although the
State Department is urging action
first on ratification of the Atlantic
Treaty.
Foes Claim Support.
Foes Of the administration labor
bill are claiming powerful support
for a Republican-written substi-
tute measure. The substitute,
offered by Senators Taft of Ohio.
Donnell of Missouri and Smith of
New Jersey, would make % changes
In the Taft Hartley law but pre-
serve what sponsors call the basic
principles.
The administration bill would
wipe the Taft-Hartley measure
of the books and replace it with
q slightly revised version Of the
old Wagner Act.
Compromise talk among some
Truman Democrats in the Senate
got a big push a month ago after
the House shelved the admins
tration measure and nearly passed
a bill which would have kept most
of the Taft-Hartley law.
Before that development Sena-
tor Withers had Joined with the
seven other Democrats on the
Senate Labor Committee in ap-
proving the administration bill
without q change. The Demo-
cratic majority refused to con-
slider any of the amendments the
five Republican members wanted
to offer.
Backs Five Amendments.
Senator Withers told reporter
today that he now has decided to
vote for at least five amendments
he expects to be offered when the
bill comes up In the Senate. The
Kentucky lawmaker said he is for
changing the. bill to:
/. Give the President limited
authority to seize struck plants or
industries in national emergency
situations.
2. Require both management
and labor officials to sign affi-
davits that they are not Com
munists or Fascists.
3. Guarantee free speech, short
of intimidation or coercion, to
both employers and workers.
4. Require both labor and man
agement to bargain collectively in
good faith.
S. Require unions to file finan-
cial reports.
Expects Some TO Be Offered.
Senator Withers said he does
not plan to sponsor any of the
amendments himself. but pre-
dicted that at least some Of them
will be offered by other Democrats
on the Labor Committee who once
publicly opposed revision Of the
administration bill.
Democratic Senators Douglas Of
Illinois and Humphrey Of Min
nesota, both committee members.
already have come out for an
amendment giving the President
restricted power to seize struck
facilities in national emergencies.

When the Syrians achieved
their independence a period OF
reaction set in. Hungarian
artists wore wells as they
awaited their turn to dance
imitation Egyptian belly dances
and far fewer Syrians dared
venture into these European

sat all the evening in their

Zaim Makes Changes
This state of affairs very
gradually relaxed until the
coup d'etat of Hosni Zaim at
the end of March this year.
Today Syrian men and women
sing and dance European or
American songs in public with
very obvious enjoyment.
Already Zaim has consider
ably changed the social life
and habits and the dress Of
Damascus. He has let it be
known that he refuses to wear
a tarboosh and disapproves Of
others doing SO. AS the sun is
brilliant and hot a curious col

Worlds Tin Center
Commercially, Singapore is the
natural-rubber market of the
world. 1t is also the tin center
of the world. And, as such, it
produces more dollar exchange for
the British than any other single
market. In 1948, the United States
bought 1000 tons of rubber
valued at $155. 100000 and 29.496
tons of tin valued at $66, $780, 900.
That represented only 38 per cent
of the tin that was produced.

have the knack of knowing what
laws to enforce. Thus, gun-toting
is punishable with death, but
smuggling and the money black
market seem to operate with q
certain immunity as long as they
are carried on with discretion.
BY chance I lunched with a man
who is said to be the head of the
Cominform in Southeast Asia. The
police have him tagged, and he
knows it. That he is allowed to
operate here at all, however. is
indicative of the relative freedom
that still prevails. He operates

disappointed that he has been
unable to make greater changes
in the personnel Of the civil
service and administration.
There is little doubt that Zaim
is using the press to attack
Iraq and Jordan with the main
object of distracting the atten-
ton of the people from the
armistice he signed a few days
ago with Israel. It will not be
a popular move to withdraw
Syrian troops from the small
area of Northern Palestine
which they occupied during the
fighting. Zaim is, therefore,
doing all he can to rouse his
people against King Abdullah,
whom he accuses of the inten-
ton of selling food to the Jews
whilst Arab refugees may
starve.
Arab leaders, who have never
found 1t easy to ADOPT JOINT
policy of action. are more di-
vided by Zaims policy than
they have been for many years.
The Syrian dictator seems to
have the support not only OF the
French, who believe that
through him they may restore
much of their lost influence in
the Levant, but also Of the
Americans. who have always
been doubtful of the wisdom of
British policy toward the HASH
