Jam on Major Bills
Looms in Senate as
Vote on Aid Is Put OFF
Final ECA Action Slated
Friday; Connolly Group
To Heor Acheson
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate appeared to be
heading today toward it's custom
ary springtime jam of major bills,
as it put of a final vote on the
$3.3 billion foreign economic aid
bill for another week.
Although the measure has been
before the Senate since April IT,
the best agreement leaders could
work out late yesterday was to
start voting at ] pm. next Friday
This leaves in the background
the controversial fair employment
practices bill, revision of the So
cial security law. the big omnibus
appropriation bill and reduction OF
excise taxes. The Senate will have
to move into higher gear If lead
ers are to reach their goal of ad-
journment by the end Of July.
To Hear Acheson.
While floor debate on the for
eign aid bill goes on Monday,
Secretary of State Acheson will
meet in closed session with the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. The Secretary is expected
to discuss the issues he will take
up with the British and French
Foreign Ministers at forthcoming
meetings in London.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
Republican floor leader, threw
out a suggestion last night that
it would help improve bipartisan
foreign policy if G.. o. P. leaders
were invited to the Monday COM
mittee meeting.
Chairman Connally said no ar
rangements have been made to
call in Senators not on the COM
mittee. The chairman made it
clear he thought Republican
members of the committee are
capable of representing the minor
ity viewpoint. Senator Wherry
said he would not press the point.
The only action the Senate has
taken thus far on the foreign aid
bill was to defeat an amendment
for the inclusion of Spain.
Seeks to Separate Point 4.
Among other things, the mea-
sure would authorize a third year
of the Marshall Plan and a $45
million start for President Tru-
mans Point Four program of aid
to underdeveloped nations.

AII-Night Talks Fail
To End ChrysIer Strike
BY the Asseeio,ed Press

DETROIT, April 29.-Nego-
tiators striving to settle the
Chrysler strike failed again to-
day after all-night talks.
Weary and red-eyed, the COM
pany and CIO- United Auto
workers representatives quit
shortly before s am. but set up
another meeting this afternoon.
For second time within "a
hours, the talks had gone virtu-
ally around the clock.
AS the strike entered its 95th
day. at least a slim hope remained
for a weekend agreement to send
$4,000 strikers back to work.
This had been the evident hope
Of the latest marathon negotia-
ton session Of nearly 20 hours.
At the same time neither the
company nor the union would
make any comment on such q
possibility.
Chrysler and the JAW were
reported still deadlocked over
non economic issues.
However. Federal Mediator z.
Marvin Sconyers and State Medi-
ator Noel p. Fox said, I'VE have
made progress"
We're going to keep on pound
ing until we reach a settlement"
the mediators said.
The financing Of 500 a month
pensions. original cause Of ths
strike, already has been settled
substantially.
Issues Of union security and
the company union grievance set
up are said to remain In dispute
along with certain pension par
ticulars.

Beyond this there was little war

that Yulin on the south coast

torial nomination against militant
youthful Representative Smathers
Senator Pepper will uncork all
stops in an address here tonight.
With primary day on Tuesday,
the bitter, mud-slinging campaign
virtually ends with today's activi-
ties.
Senator Pepper, forced on the
defensive by the attacks of his
Evening star., 1950-04-29

former Marine opponent right
from the start of the campaign,
has been striking back viciously
in recent days.
He produced in Tampa last
night an AFFIDAVIT signed by TIL
ford E. Dudley, assistant director
of the CIO Political Action Com
mittee, dated April ~ in WASH
ington, stating that MIR. Smathers
had had CIO PAC support when
he first ran for Congress in 1946.
Mr.. Smathers has been charging
that the CIO, in the fashion of
carpet t-baggers after the Civil
War. has invaded Florida to reg
lister Negroes to vote for Pepper.
Charges Shifts In Position.
The affidavit asserted that the
CIO had received word that its
support would be welcomed by
MIR. Smathers. who was then run
ming against former Representa-
tive Cannon; that MIR. Dudley
had gone to Miami to confer with
MIR. Smathers; that Mr.. Smathers
had said he would be glad to have
CIO support, but urged it not be
made public because it might lose
him conservative votes If it were
known.
Senator Pepper declared that
this was just one of many in
stances in which Mr.. Smathers
has shifted his position.
Mr.. Smathers' comeback was
instant. ..t
THE CIO bosses were never for
me, and they aren't now" he said.
Dudley, vice chairman of the
C1O-PAC came to Miami in 1916
and made a contribution to my
campaign fund and offered aid.
I told him that I would welcome
the support of members of the
CIO individually-but not Of the
organization and the bosses. I
ordered his check returned and
it was returned uncashed."
Typical Interchanxe.
The check is said to have been
for $1,000.
This interchange is typical of
the attack and counterattack
which has been going on for
weeks.
| Don't be Duped by Du .Pont"
is the sign in big letters on Pepper
sound trucks. calling attention to
the Pepper charge that Mr..
Smathers is really just a tool Of
the Du Points," and that he is a
Du Pont lawyer. The Du Points
have large Florida holdings.
To this charge, which he denies,
MIR. Smathers says that when he
was only "a years old, campaigns
ing for Mr.. Pepper, the Senator
had told him to charge Mr.. Pep
per's opponent with being a Du
Pont lawyer.
That's an old technique of the
Senator" said Mr.. Smathers. MY
opponent knows that am not
and never have been the attorney
for the Du Pont interests. I mo-

No further action can be taken

a millionaire Communist, were
witnesses this week before the
committee. Both refused to an
swer many questions they were
asked.
Senator Tydings said he had
instructed Edward P. Morgan,
committee counsel, to prepare the
citations.
II will lay the citations and the
recommendation of counsel, after
further examination of the mat
ter which I have directed him to
make, before the full committee at
some day in the near future when
re have an opportunity to con-
ider it," Senator Tydings said.
Affront to Senate Dignity.
Quite aside from whether the
refusal Of witnesses was based or
irrelevancy of questions asked OF
because of constitutional guaran-
tees, or anything else, I hi ye Gi-
rected Mr.. Morgan to take this
action because I have felt that
there has been an affront to the
dignity of the Senate and the
Government in the refusal of the
witnesses to answer the questions.
Mr.. Field fatty refused while
testifying yesterday to say whether
he is a Communist He also re-
fused on grounds of possible self
incrimination to answer many
other questions.
A citation for contempt would
place the matter in the courts and
could lead to a Jail sentence or
fine for the wealthy New Yorker.
The same would apply to Brow
der.
But before court action could
be brought against them on
charges of contempt of Congress,
the Tydings subcommittee, the
full Foreign Relations Committee
and the Senate itself would have
10 approve the citations.
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can. of Iowa, committee member,
indicated at the hearing yester-
day he would press for contempt
action against Mr.. Field.
Called Shocking Spectacle.
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, another member,
said Mr.. Fields refusal to answer
questions was lone of the most
shocking spectacles I have ever
ceen."
Mr.. Field was called as a wit
ness as the committee probed
further into the Owen baltimore
case.
Mr.. baltimore, Johns Hopkins
University specialist in Far East
ern affairs, has been accused by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin Of being a Commu-
mist and Russia's top spy in this
country. The Wisconsin Senator
has said he would let his charges
of communism in the State De-
