Mrs. Rosenberg Wins
Senate Confirmation

| The Senate by a voice vote this
afternoon confirmed President
Truman's nomination of Mrs
Anna Rosenberg of New York as
Assistant Secretary of Defense.
The nomination had been held
up pending a thorough investiga-
ton which disproved charges that
Mrs. Rosenberg had attended
Communist or Communications
meetings. Mrs. Rosenberg said
it was a case of mistaken identity.
Only a very few scattered mos"
were heard against the confirma-
ton. It was not Immediately ap-
parent who voted against her.
The vote came Immediately
after Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia told the Senate there
was mot one scintilla of evidence"
to support the charges against
Mrs. Rosenberg.
Senator Byrd is a member of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee that looked exhaustively
into the charges. He said that a
subcommittee composed of him
self and Senators Hunt. Democrat,
OF Wyoming and Cain, Republican,
of Washington had been permitted
to inspect FBI flies and that
nothing had been found against
Mrs. Rosenberg. The Armed
Services Committee voted unani-
mously for her confirmation.

berg will be in charge Of man

President Signs Bill
Extending D. {. Rent Curb!

President Truman today signed
the bill extending the Districts
rent control law from January 81
to March 81.
The measure, passed by the
House Monday after Senate ap-
proval, continues the Districts law
to the same date previously set by
Congress for extension of the ma
tional rent control statute.
The District bill makes no
change in the rent control law
here.
When the District rent control
extension bill first was introduced
in the Senate, it contained pro-
vision for recontrolling hotel
apartments and various other
types of housing accommodations
made available by conversion of
facilities. The Senate District
Committee, however, struck out
those proposals and they were not
revived when the bill reached the

Administration leaders were
hopeful of Senate action on the
national civil defense bill today,
although indications were that a
final vote might be delayed.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee. who headed the Armed
Services Subcommittee which de-
veloped the measure. said he ex-
pected to bring it up for debate
this afternoon. First. the Sen
ate must dispose of the SIT bill
lion supplemental appropriations
bill which includes funds fts
District civil defense purposes.
Senator Kefauver said he had
hoped for speedy action on the
bill this afternoon so that it
might go to conference with the
House tomorrow. However, he
admitted, the vote might go over
until tomorrow's session.
A similar measure granting
sweeping authority to the newly
formed National Civil Defense
Administration was passed yester-
day in the House by a vote of
247-to-1.
Included in the bill is $337,-
500, asked for by the District civil
defense leaders to put Washing

Rail Dispute Settled With Raise
Of 1925 Cents for 100000 in
3-Yeor Cost-of-Living Contract
First in Industry;
Yord Workers Also
Win 5-Doy Week
By jones Y. Newton

The White House today an
nounced settlement of the o.
month-old railroad labor dispute
with wage increases ranging from
10 to IS cents an hour going to
about 100000 locomotive engi-
neers, conductors, flremen and
trainmen.
announcement of settlement
was made by John R, Steelman
assistant to the President. after
continuous 15-hour overnight
negotiating session at the White
House with representatives of the
railroads and four big operating
rail unions.
The long dispute led last Au-
gust to Government seizure and
operation of all the Nations rail-
roads, and only last week was
the cause of transportation tieups
in Washington and a dozen other
cities over the country.
Mr.. Steelman said that the
parties had agreed to a three
year contract, to expire October
l, 1858. an unprecedented step in
rail-labor history.
Terminal Workers Get Most.
Under terms of the agreement
about 10000 workers employed
in rail terminal yards will get an
almost immediate pay boost o1
25 cents an hour. Another 180, ,00C
workers employed in road service
will receive a 10-cent-an-houl
boost.
A railroad management spokes-
man estimated that the new con-
tract terms will cost the Nation S
carriers about $3.50 million a year.
He added that a decision had not
been made as to whether to re-
quest an immediate increase in
freight and passenger rates.
The complicated settlement
formula gave the 10000 yardmen
or terminal employees, some of
whom took part in last weeks
wildcat strike. pay raise of %
cents an hour retroactive to Oc-
tober /. the time the new con-
tract will be dated.
2 Cents More Due January /.
The yardmen will receive an
additional 2 cents an hour ef-
fective January 1.
The 10000 workers engaged in
over-the-road service receive a
pay boost of 5 cents an hour
retroactive to October l and an
additional 5 cents on January /.
Contracts for both types of rail
workers VIII include clauses allow
ing for additional pay raises if
the Governments cost of living
under rises in the future. This
provides for a cent an hour more
pay for each point the cost of liv-
ing rises in the Governments in
deX. The first adjustment under
that provision would be made
April l.
Short Work Week Set Aside.
The railroad yard employees also
won a 40-hour, 5-day work week,
but in return for the increase, Mr..
Steelman said, agreed to set aside
the shorter work week for the du-
ration of the present national
emergency. The yard men have
been working a six-day, 48-hour
week, and had demanded full 49,
hour pay for the shorter week
an increase of about 81 cents an
hour ,3
Under the settlement terms
when rail management and the
unions agree to go on the 40-hour
week the workers will get an auto
matte increase of cents an hour.
A conference will be held after
January /, 1852. to decide wheth-
er conditions at the time justify
the longer hours which the rail
workers are to put in.
