 Congress must approve before the program goes into operation.
 In the House, emergency funds for the atomic energy commission and the Berlin airlift headed for swift approval. The two funds are part of a S67l ,047,172 appropria- ton bill to help out assorted gov ernment agencies for the rest of the year. The appropriations com mittee trimmed $26,981,255 from the figures President Truman asked, but it didn't touch the S1l0,- 000,0O0 he wanted for the atomic energy commission or the S43,000,- 900 for the airlift.

Rules Against
 Longshoremen In ,JurisdictiOnal Row
Confined from Page Onel

CCOn'ined from Page One) cause ii is "both futile and un- necessary" since the company has already made its own decision which the board has no power to reverse.
 The longshoremen's union, headed by Harry Bridges, claimed a legal and traditional right to load the barges. The company said it had a contract with the wood workers union for all work at the plant, including barge-loading. The longshoremen picketed the docks. The company said mem bers of the longshoremen's union also refused to unload one of the barges when it arrived at Cana dian port.
 So the company filed unfair la Dor practice charges last summer, under the Taft-Hartley provision that bans strikes or refuSalS to handle goods when the object is to force an employer to assign partic- ular work to a particular union.
 The boards decision did not de- eide this unfair practice case. It only ruled that the longshoremen'S union had no legitimate claim to the jobS-either by contract, board order, or any other way-and therefore is not entitled to force the company to assign the work to it's members.
 The longShoremen's union was given 10 days to announce what it intends to do

the House okayed $70l, ,l22,O79 for the agriculture department and yesterday S747,2l6,l02 for the state commerce and justice de- partments to operate during the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Senate Wearily entered the 18th day of debate on the S5,58O,- 000,OO0 European recovery bill with stubborn opposition still de- laying a final vote sought urgent ly by Democratic leaders.
 Senators Myers of Pennsylvan- ia, Democratic whip, said the Sen ate would be kept in session late tonight and tomorrow if necessary 10 get an approving vote on the bill extending aid to Europe for another Is months.
 Major opposition has centered around the cost, not the plan itself.
 The House-passed oleomargar- inc tax repeal bill started churn- ing in the Senate today. The fi- nance committee called Senators Fulbright D.-ArkD and Maybank D.-S. O., both packers of the bill, to testify at hearings. Opponents get their chance to talk later.
 The measure, as approved by the House 287 to 89 last week, would remove the 63-year-old federal taxes on oleo, but provides that when sold in public eating places it must be identified as oleO, and served in triangular shape.

New Polar Com pass Developed

WASHINGTON, (PO - Develop ment of a new non-magnetic com pass which can be used for air navigation in the polar regions has been announced by the bureau of standards.
 Known as the sky compass" it was described as particularly use ful" during the long periods of twilight in the polar regions when neither the sun nor the stars are visible.
 Such an instrument has long been desired because magnetic compasseS will not work in the polar regions. Compasses which depend upon the sun or stars for direction also are undependable in polar twilight periods, the bur eau said.
 The new compass works on the same principle as that utilized in polaroid sun glasses. The bureau said that by comparing brightness of the sky from different mea- sured angles the direction of the sun can be accurately determined. Then, with knowledge of the time of day, the north-south direction can be computed with the aid of astronomical tables.

ress on the road to recovery
which the country has made
during the past. II months.
More scars of war have been
removed, new houses built, rail-
way bridges restored, and the
trains are running with greater
frequency and speed. The shops
are full of goods, and the beef
steaks are larger and more
plentiful. The people look
mostly we'll fed and neatly
dressed, and the state en-
ployes-a very underprivileged
class last year-are clearly
better off.
But under the veneer Of WELL
being and prosperity there is a
crisis. In part it is a deflation
crisis, deliberately engineered
by the Government through the
ruthless increase of taxes and
charges for public service.
Money is scarce, trade in many
lines slack. exports not salts

and battling problem, over

unemployment, shows no sign
Of being solved.

gets too easily that 1t is the

that the comfortable new

outlandish proportions because
the vast majority of the popu-

their urge for ostentation and
their sham social ambitions.
To obtain advantages from
the state is the sine qua non
of an easier life. Travelling on
the Italian state railways, one
often finds that one is the only
person in a compartment who

in varying degrees according to
their social class and their con-
neetions with government

several months. The bill pro-

dwelling units a year for six
years, with a high of 100000 or
low of $4,000 in any given year.
Aside from public housing,
the greatest amount Of home
building has been in the small,

homes, for the most part, are
the four-room cottage without
basement type. The National
Association of Home Builders
has been putting on a concerted
campaign for construction OF
small homes designed to sell,

American trained and supplied
Greek Army reported to be in its
best combat condition since the
start of the civil war. In recent
months the Greek nationalist
forces, now totaling approximately
a quarter of a million men, have
virtually cleaned out the trouble
some guerrilla pockets scattered
through the Peloponnesus and
much of the northern mainland
to such degree that at least 10
per cent of the Communist
strength is contained in the Gram
mos and Vitsi sectors bordering on
Albania.
Nationalist leadership and tao
tical training for the type OF
fighting required has improved
substantially in this period and
the bulk of the forces now facing
the guerrilla areas is equipped with
newer and better weapons than
at any earlier stage of this con-
flict.
The guerrillas, in turn. have been
seriously weakened by several de-
velopments. With an estimated
strength of about 10000 one year
ago they are now down to an es-
timated $4,000. Continuing cas-
uaIties have accounted for this
