Rayburn Urges Action
On All EmergeneyBi|I,
Before Adjournment
Advises Trumun of Plan
For Sine Die Recess,
Subject to His Call

House Speaker Rayburn said to-
day that he favored q sine die
adjournment Of Congress as soon
as President Truman's emergency
program is out of the way. He
added that he had so advised the
President.
Leaving the White House with
other Democratic leaders after the
weekly conference with President
Truman, Speaker Rayburn said "I
think it would have good effect
both nationally and International
ly for the President to say that
he has all the legislation needed
to meet the situation" when the
emergency program has been
cleared.
Then Congress could take q
sine die adjournment, the Speaker
said-subject to further call by
the President.
Psychological Effect Stressed.
Mr.. Rayburn explained that he
thought a statement to this effect
by the President would have a
good psychological effect, because
it would show that this country
did not regard the war in Korea
as a major operation" Mr.. Ray
burn also said that he favored
sine die adjournment or a recess
up to specified date rather than
a series of three-day recesses such
as has been proposed in some
quarters.
The Speaker added that he did
mot want to keep anybody "hold-
ing my seat for three days"
Tax Bill May Pass Quickly.
Speaker Rayburn, who acted as
spokesman for his conferees, said
he was not certain whether Con-
gress would be able to get away
before Labor Day as some leaders
hoped or whether it would require
longer.
He expressed the opinion that
the S. billion tax bill which is
being pushed forward to finance
the early stages of defense prepa-
ration would not take long to
clear conference when the Senate
is through with it. The measure
is already passed the House in q
different form.

1888 and 1886 Cuts Cited.
He said the company's electric
plant costs tend to show the cost
of street lighting equipment in
1949 was 214 times the 1889 cost.
A reduction of about Is per
cent was applied to street light
ing in 1888, producing revenues
some $150,000 below the estimated
minimum cost of furnishing the
service, he said. A further reduc-
tion Of 10 per cent in the 1888
rate was made in 1886 at the re-
quest of the commission, amount
ing to about $84 1000, he added.
Mr.. Main also said that the

lower than comparable rates in

The price for the first block of

|UNT Bill Pushed
In Senate After
Pleas for Speed
Committee Hears
Johnson, Bradley
Urge Measure

Inc Senate Armed Services
Committee moved rapidly today
toward approval of standby uni
versal military training legisla-
ton and Chairman Tydings an
nounced it would meet daily to
speed the action.
The committee today heard de-
tense leaders and representatives
OF veterans organizations call for
immediate enactment of UNIT.
Nine members of the committee
announced they would demand
that Congress stay in session long
enough to pass the measure.
Defense Secretary johnson
asked enactment of UNIT as "a
certificate of readiness of the
American citizen to answer any
threat to world peace and to the
family of free nations"
Bradley Sees Continued Tension.
He was quickly followed by Gen.
Bradley, Joint Chiefs of Staff
chairman, who urged UNIT now
Ito produce reservoir of trained
manpower for the military Sc
curity of this country-for even
after the Korean situation is set
tied it appears that at best we
may be faced for many years with
tension in international affairs"
Both officials said the armed
services could not and had no
plans to inaugurate UNIT as long
as the fighting continus in Korea.
Mr.. johnson said that if the COM
mittee intended to write in an
effective date--as suggested by
Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota-that 1t be before
January /, 1852. At the request of
Chairman Tydings, he said he
and the Joint Chiefs would for
ward a suggested date tomorrow.
There was apparent unanimity
in the committee in favor of the
controversial legislation which
President Truman has recon-
mended on five occasions. Several
of the Senators commented that
the first American troops thrown
into Korea had been ill-trained
and that UNIT was the answer to
that situation.
Morse Urges Quick Action.
"Russia intends to lick us if we
get weak enough and our lack of
manpower now gets us pretty close
to that point" said Senator Morse,
Republican, of Oregon, one of the
nine who want immediate action.
"The operations in Korea have
demonstrated what lack of pre-
paredness can do to our troops" !"
he declared. 'No nation has the
right to put men in battle without
proper training"
Others who agreed with Senator
Morse were: Chairman Tydings
and Senators Byrd of Virginia,
Chapman of Kentucky, johnson of
Texas and Hunt of Wyoming, all
Democrats, and Senators Gurney,
Bridges of New Hampshire and
Knowland of California, all Re-
|publicans.
Senator Knowland commented
that there would be mo recess for
the troops on Korea"
Senator Johnson, declaring that
it was time for "the American
people to face up to UNIT" said
that the program probably would
cost in excess of So billion annual
ly and Mr.. johnson agreed.
Gen. Bradley said "the necessity
to meet the Korean situation and
face up to world conditions of ever
increasing tension has vividly
demonstrated the need for us to
have either larger forces or some
system by which we can mobilize
trained units quickly"
He said that to maintain suffi-
cient regular forces would be too
expensive and that UNIT was the
answer.
He added that if UNIT was en-

Switchmen Discomfort Rises.
An meanwhile new rumblings
were heard from the switchmen,
who broke off negotiations on five
trunk lines where strikes had been
held in allegiance since the OUT
break Of the Korean war. The
workers said they were getting
nowhere in their negotiations.
When John R. Steelman, presi-
dental labor adviser, reported to
President Truman this morning
that negotiations were still dead
locked, he was instructed Ito
keep on trying" Mr.. Steelman
thereupon called the two groups
back at IL am. and met with
them separately in an effort to
work out something.
The two groups had met with
Mr.. Steelman in adjoining rooms
last night. The sessions ended
on pessimistic note at 1870 am.
31-Cent Increase Asked.
The unions are asking for what
amounts to a 31-cent hourly in

ployes. The railroads have in
creased their offer to % cents,
after first standing pat on an 18-
cent award proposed by a presi-
dental emergency board.
The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
walkout involved about 1900 con-
ductors and trainmen, but idled
some $500 workers. The road is
an important carrier of iron ore
and coal between Pittsburgh and
Ashtabula, Ohio. Neither Jones
and Laughlin nor United States
Steel, served by the line, expected
to curtail operations, reporting
adequate stockpiles of coal and
ore.
United States Steel, however,
anticipates some difficulty at it's
plants in the Youngstown area,
which largely depend on the road
to handle materials and finished
products.
