ey ne Assee tessr ers.s

A strategem 10 upset a sudden
and successful Republican fund
cut maneuver in the Senate vas
announced yesterday by Chairman
Mcclellan. OF the Appropriations
Committee.
Meanwhile, as the big annual
money bills began to move through
the Senate. Senator Taft OF Ohio
Republican policy chief. called for
general S per cent cut In the
regular Federal appropriations.
Senator Mcclellan told q re-
porter he has found a way TO force
q second rollcall showdown on q
surprise Republican-engineerec
SIS. .00o. 900 slash.
Tomorrow, Senator McKellar
said a motion will be made TO re-
consider the 44-to-37 vote of last
Thursday which sent a s., ,400. 900. =
900 money bill back to the Ap-
priations Committee with a direc-
tive to cut 1t down. The bill
carries funds for the Labor De-
partment and Federal Security
Agency.
I'm going TO make a fight Of
this" Senator Mcclellan said con-
fidently. Il think We can beat
It,"
After consulting the Senate
parliamentarian. Senator Nc
Kellar said he discovered that q
motion to reconsider the unusual
step can be made tomorrow by
any Senator who voted to return
the bill to committee or who did
not vote either way. He said he
is confident he will find someone
to make the motion.
Eight Democrats voted with SO
Republicans to send the bill back
for reductions while nine Demo-
|crats were among Is Senator'S who

If either party refused to abide
by the Presidents proclamation for
maintaining part Of the operations,
Mr.. Jacobs said. the Attorney Gen

order compelling compliance. The
court could review the Presidents s
order and could overturn 1t II 1t

evidence.
Jail Penalty Possible.
But the court also could issue
decree backing up the order,
with a possible jail penalty for
anyone refusing to abide by 1t,
Mr.. Jacobs added:
This plan would provide three
distinct steps-the board. the
President. and the court. Having
part of the industry shut down
and part operating would hustle q
settlement along, I can tell you
The Wood Bill would continue
in effect the present laws pro-

procedure has been used several

|sBecoming Obsolete,
Senate Group Reports
By the Associuted Press


A Senate Commerce subcom-
mittee said yesterday the Nations
war-built merchant feet already
is becoming obsolete and "a re-
placement program of new ship
construction may be in order"
In a preliminary report on a
continuing investigation of mer-
chant marine problems, the group
pointed up increasing foreign
competition since the end Of the
war. 49,. '
This also was emphasized by
Senator Brewster, Republican, OF
Maine in a letter attached to
the report. A member Of the
subcommittee, Senator Brewster
has just returned from an in
spection of European shipyards.
Operating at Capacity.
Senator Brewster said that
British and Swedish shipyard.
have been operating at capacity
since the war Gin building world
merchant marine which is now in
excess Of prewar and Of modern
vintage" He added:
This has unfortunately re-
suited in outmoding and render
ing obsolete the tremendous mer.
chant marine America built dur
ing the war, with the result Of
tying up $500 merchant ships ir
United States ports and Their
ultimate scrapping."
Senator Brewster also reported
that "a first-class crisis Is In the
ofing as a result of the re-entry OF
Germany and Japan into ship re-
pairing and construction"
English and Swedish shipbuild-
ing interests, as we'll as others
are greatly concerned about this,
he said, adding that the British
and the Swedes blame the United
States for permitting it.
Senator Brewster said the Ger
mans are able to do ship repair
and construction work at less cost
and in a shorter time than is re-
quired by other yards because of
economic conditions in the coun-
try.
japanese Also Active.
Somewhat the same situation
prevails in Japan, he said. and
the re-entry of the Germans and
the Japanese into this field pre-
sents "a very serious challenge
to all other shipyards."
The report of the subcommittee,
headed by Senator Magnuson,
Democrat, of Washington, said
evidence already gathered indi-
Gates that shipbuilding in this

It said a planned program for
repairing vessels in the reserve

imperative to protect the invest
ment already made In the ships.
Such a program will also help
to insure continued operation of
needed ship-repair facilities, the

maintenance of employment and
the retention of skilled persons In
this essential segment of our econ
omy," the report said.
New Ships Suggested.
In suggesting that a replacement
program of new-ship construction
also might be advisable, the COM
mittee said it would prevent the
danger of having. once again, an
old fleet at the start Of a conflict"
in which there might not be time
to get ready.
The report said it also would
guard against having to replace all
our ships at once at high cost and,
by improving the efficiency of the
fleet, might save on subsidy costs.

In an article on the Yugoslav
army, the newspaper said it was
absorbing most of the manpower
of the country. Together with
the police, the paper declared, the
army numbered 100000.
With the assistance of Tito's

The article said the flight of
Yugoslav Communists across the
