I Senator Holland. Democrat. Of
Florida objected that Senator
Humphrey had told the Senate
Wednesday that he had abandoned
efforts to tack civil rights riders
to the draft bill in order to speed
its passage. The Minnesotan re-
torted that since Senator Russell
had pressed his amendment again
he had felt compelled to submit
his proposal.
The rider was defeated by voice
vote on motion of Senator john
son. Democrat, of Colorado when
Senator Humphrey failed to get
support for a record vote.
President Truman appeared
certain to wind up with something
less than his present broad
authority to order inductions of
youths between 10 and Is to keep
the armed services at strength.
Taft, Wherry Dissent.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee recommended that
this authority be continued, but
some Republicans. including Sen
ators Taft of Ohio and Wherry of
Nebraska, sought to follow the
House plan to give Congress alone
the power to order actual draft
ing.
Senator Saltonstall, Republican
Of Massachusetts,. proposed that
either Congress or the President
have the authority. to which
Chairman Tydings Of the armed
services committee agreed. But
Senator KEN. Republican of
Missouri. opposed that plan.
Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia. suggested that the Pres
ident have the authority only
when Congress was not in session
and Senator Taft proposed that
the Chief Executive find a ma
tional emergency" before taking
such action.
Others objected that. this would
produce a war scare or give the
President unintended power. The
provision was toned down to "a
national emergency exists"

Fight Brews in House
Over Bill 10 Broaden
Federal Firing Rights
By shs ANso<ie,sd Prs.a

A controversy was brewing IN
the House today over q bill to give
Federal department heads abso-
lutte discretion to Are Government
workers in the interest Of
National security
The bill was approved yeSter-
day by the House Civil Service
Committee A committee SpokeS-
man said the group will press for
early House action.
Opposition is based on the
argument that the bill would tear
down the projections Federal
employees have gained throueh
years Of Civil Service system
operation.
The bills hackers insist that its
sole purpose ii to cut through the
red tape that now makes II din
cult to get rid Of undesirable
personnel.
Defense Agencies Specified.
The bill applies specifically 70
these agencies:
The Defense Department. the
Army. the Navy. the Air Force. the
Treasury. the State Department.
the Atomic Energy Commission.
the National Security Resources
Board and the National Advisory
Committee for Aeionautics.
But it would let the President
by executive order extend the
power to the head Of any other
department or agency.
Some of them already have the
discretionary Airing power under
year-to-year provisions inserted
in appropriation bills. The pro-
posed new law would make the
authority permanent and a part
Of the basic law.
Suspension Is Provided.
1t says the head of the agency
may, in his absolute discretion
and when deemed necessary in
the interest Of national security,
suspend without pay any civilian
officer or employe OF the depart
ment."
If the agency head decides that
1t won't interfere with national
security, he may tell the employe
why he was being suspended and
let him file statement in his de-
fense. Then the agency head
would decide whether or not to
f1re the employe. His decision
would be conclusive and final"
Any employe with a permanent
status could demand and receive a
hearing by an authority set up
within the agency. but the review
of the case would be made by the
agency head or an official desig-
mated by him.
A person dismissed under the
bills provisions could apply for a
job in some other department. as
long as he had the approval Of the
Civil Service Commission.

-Four Of Five Railroads
Plan 10 Stop Running
i Switchmen Strike
ey the Asseeioisd Press

CHICAGO, June 23.-Four Of
i've big railroads have announced
they will stop running Sunday If
an expected switchmen's strike
begins.
The AFL-Switchmen's Union of
North America has set 6 am

hour against these Midwestern
and Western roads:
The Chicago. Rock Island e.
Pacific. the Chicago Great West
ern, the Western Pacific. the Great

Grande Western.

All but the Great Northern have
announced shutdown plans. Pres
ident r. j. Gavin of that line said
yesterday the road will do the
best it can" to keep running.
The switchmen seek a 40-hour
week with 48 hours pay. A presi-
dental fact-finding board did not
recommend granting the request.
All peace-making moves have
been taken under Federal law.
The National CRailway) Media

the strike, but no progress was
reported.
No progress was reported, either.

Disagree With Board.
They also disagree with a Presi-
dental boards findings on wages
and hours. The board did not in
clude the two groups when it sug-
gested a pay raise for some other
rail workers.
Another strike call was issued
yesterday-this one by the Pull
man conductors division of the
Order of Railway Conductors.
They set their walkout time for
July II. But provisions of the
National Railway Labor Act delay
this threatened strike.
The Pullman conductors must
submit to an investigation of their
demands by a presidential fact
finding board. This would auto
matically delay the strike so days.
They want their basic work month
reduced from 225 to 21O hours
without pay loss, and certain
working rules changes.

OF Strategy 10 Fight
'phony' New Tax Bill
., ne Asseeie,ed Pres.

House Republican Leader Mar
tin called his Policy Committee
together today to map party
strategy on what he called the
''phony' new tax bill.
Some Republicans, privately de-
scribing the bill as political
dynamite. said they will vote for
1t despite misgivings about some
Of its features. The vote is ex-
pected next week.
The long g-awaited tax measure
was approved by the House Ways
and Means Committee yesterday
by q 17-to-8 vote. Two Repub-
licans Joined with Is Democrats
in voting to report the bill.
The measure would slash excise
taxes an estimated $1,ol0, 900, 900
on fur coats. jewelry. luggage. cos
metics. movie tickets, travel tick
cts, telephone bills and scores of
other items. 1t would make up
the excise revenue loss to a large
degree by new taxes on big cor
| porations. ...
! Kean Voices Criticism.
| Representative Kean. Republi-
can, of New Jersey. member of the
Ways and Means Committee, said:
This bill reduces the tax on
luxuries and transfers the tax
burden TO necessities"
Mr.. Martin told newsmen: 1T
is kind of phony tax reduction
bill. True. it gives relief to some
taxpayers, but at the same time
it makes taxes much more bur-
densome on Others"
The Republican leader and
many other Republicans. as well
as Democrats, have been battling
for reduction of the wartime ex-
else ratio. Mr.. Martin contends
that, instead of hiking other taxes
to make up the revenue loss. the
excise relief should be accom-
panied by reduction in Govern
ment spending.
Moreover, he contends that ex-
else reductions will stimulate busi-
ness so that actually the Govern
ment is not likely to suffer any
revenue loss by cutting the excises.
Goes Too Far. Doughton Feels.
Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Doughton. the top
Democratic tax manager, takes
the view also that the $633 million
boost in taxes on big corporations
goes too far. He said that he
would rather see a reduction of
Government spending, to save
money. He is going to pilot
through the House the bill ap-
proved by the committee, how
ever, since it apparently is the
only way now to get excises. cut.
The measure applies increased
tax rates only to corporations
earning $167 900 or more, q year,
while reducing the tax burden for
corporations earning between S.
900 and $167, 900.
Mr.. Kean said that this actually
will mean that the smaller corpo-
rations will get a tax. reduction
LOT about $267 million and the lar
ger, corporations. which produce
about rs per cent of the Nations
goods. will have to pay about $7o0|
million more a year.
To make up the higher taxes,
the New Jersey member said, the
prices of food and other necessi-
ties will rise.
1T is a good political bill, look
ing at it on the surface" he said,

living might be serious
