Bishops Farley Plea
BY ne AssSSio.ed Prsn

BUDAPEST. Hungary. June a.
-Hungary'S Catholic bench OF
bishops has asked for an oficial
review of church questions" in
step interpreted as a surrender
Of the church'S long resistance to
the government.
The fact that the government
itself announced the church move
officially last night indicates that
the government will accept It as
surrender. demand that the
bishops take an oath Of allegiance
to HungaryS constitution. and in
struct its clergy to sign the
Stockholm peace petitions.
The bench of bishops is the
highest eccleSiaStic authority OF
the Catholic church in Hun
gary since its primate, Josef
Cardinal MindSzenty. was Jailed
for life in lS49 on treason and
spying charges.
Decision Made Tive Days Ago.
The bishops decided two days
ago to ask the government for
conferences at which heads OF 63
religious orders should also be
present, They would represent
the IL 900 monks and nuns IN 6S6
cloisters and monasteries in Hun
gary.
Two weeks ago Jozsef Revai,
minister OF peoples education.
climaxed q bitter campaign Of
press and radio attacks on the
Catholic clergy by declaring that
they were ''imperialist agitatorS
and reactionary newsmongerS.
He raised the question whether
the country could tolerate their
existence further.
The church has been in passive
resistance to the government since
the conviction Of Cardinal Minds
zenty but the strife was inflamed
after bishops, heads Of orders.
priests. monks and nuns gener-
ally refused to sign the Stockholm
peace appeal.
Drafted by ''Peace Partisans."
The document, drafted by the
"PartiSans of Peace" at a con"
gress in Stockholm. is considered
by the Government as the high
est standard of democratic belief
and loyalty. 1t calls for outlaw
ing atomic weapons.
The government said that 72
million Hungarians signed the
petitions but the Catholic clergy
did not. Priests referred only to
a bishops declaration. carefully
worded and resembling the Stock
holm appeal which was declared
to have been issued In the name
Of all the Catholic clergy.
The press campaign began.
The clergy were called atom
priests" and atom nuns"
After Revai'S speech, many
cloiSters and monasteries were
ordered evacuated and their oc-
cupants were transferred to other
religious centers.

U. 5. Proposes U. N.
Set Up Unitto Regulate
Conventional Arms
by the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June 22.-
The United States asked the
United Nations today to set up an
international authority to super
wise and check on the reduction
and regulation of ordinary arms
and armed forces.
The proposal has been circulat-
ed among delegates to the u. N.
Commission for Conventional
Armaments in preparation for a
discussion by the commission s
working committee.
Conventional arms are rifles.
artillery, naval and aircraft and
almost all other weapons except
the atom bomb and weapons of
mass destruction.
The American document pro-
poses that conventional arms
administration should be made up
OF countries represented in the
U. N. Security Council. Function
ing at U. N. headquarters, it
would receive information on
arms code as they are found.
The administration would oper-
ate on simple majority rule, with
out any veto power, but its de-
cisions would have to be passed on
by the Security Council, in which
the five big powers have a veto.
The arms commission is one of
80 U. N. organizations hit by the
Soviet walkout-strike over refusal
to unseat Nationalist China and
admit the Chinese Communists.
The Russians disagreed with
the Western powers, however, on
how to cut ornaments and armed
forces, even before they walked
out. The cold war has stymied the
commission since It's start in 1947.
The commission Is continuing
its work but delegates generally
say that no decisions can be ef-
fective until every one is present.
They hope that by working on
they can lay the groundwork for
an arms reduction program.

National Rail Tieup
Seen if Other Unions
Join Switch Strike
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, June GA possible
Nation wide rail tieup was fore
seen today as:
%. A switchmen's union set
Sunday as a strike date against
five big lines, and
90. Two more unions become
legally free to strike July Is.
The Rock Island and the West
ern Pacific said they would stop
running Sunday If the switchmen
left work.
The AFL Switchmen's Union of
North America told the Rock Is
land, the Western Pacific, Great
Northern, the Chicago Great
Western and the Denver 81 Rio
Grande Western lines yesterday
that they were turning down a
presidential boards wage and
hour recommendations.
Provisions Carried Out.
The board made its suggestions
April 10. Since May 19, under the
Railway Labor Act 30-day cool
ing-off" period provision, the
Iswitchmen have been legally free
to strike. All the peace-making
provisions of the law have been
carried out.
The carriers were notified at the
same time that the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen and the
Order of Railway Conductors were
rejecting wage and hour recon-
mendation by a presidential board
on June Is. They must cool Off
until July Is.
The officers of the two unions
made a joint statement saying the
June IS findings was an insult
to railroaders. as we'll as the
most unjust. unfair, inequitable
and Injurious report" by the
emergency board since enactment
of the Railway Labor Law.
F. H. Nemitz, chief of the con-
ductors, and w. P. Kennedy, head
of the trainmen, said their unions
were ready to use economic
strength. if necessary. to force a
fair settlement Of the issues"
4O-HOur Week Recommended.
The presidential board April 1s
recommended to President Tru-
man that the switchmen be
awarded a 40-hour week and an
18 cents an hour wage increase.
The switchmen want q 40-hour
week with the pay they now get
for a 48-hour week.
The fact-f1nders on June Is
specifically did not recommend a
boost for the trainmen and con-
ductors when they recommended
a 40-hour week and 18 cents an
hour to $4,000 yard employees.
The 125.000 members of the
trainmen's and conductors unions
also wanted sliding scales of pay
rates depending on weight of loco
motives and a reduction of the
basic day from the present $50
miles or seven and one-half hours
to 100 miles or five hours.
The trainmen and conductors
did not actually set a strike date

last week predicted a presidential
veto. finally voted for the measure
yesterday.
Vote on Party Lines
The vote was AZ to 80, mostly
along party lines. Practically all
OF the Democrats were for the
bill. while most of the Republicans
opposed it.
The bill gives Federal employees
in nearby areas the right to en-
gage actively in local politics as
Democrats, Republicans, or indie
pendents. At present, those near
by employees who are allowed to
participate are limited to cam
paigning on q nonpartisan basis.
The new political freedom in
local politics for Federal employees
would be under the supervision of
the Civil Service Commission.
The legislation would make no
changes. however, in the Hatch
Act provisions that bar Federal
employees from active participa-
ton in national. State or munich
pal politics. The local political
participation clause for nearby
Federal workers was approved be-
cause Of their general preponder-
ance in the communities in which
they live.
Provision Long Sought.
The lesser penalty provision has
long been sought by the Civil
Service Commission. At present.
the penalty for violation of the
Hatch Act is outright dismissal
from the service.
The new legislation would give
the commission the discretion to
impose a less severe penalty in
cases Of minor or unwilling Hatch
Act violations. In no case could
the penalty be less than a 80 days
suspension from the job. And the
three Civil Service Commissioners
would have to be in unanimous
agreement before anything less
than an outright dismissal penalty
could be assessed in a Hatch Act
case.
Also. the bill permits the COM
mission to reopen the several hun
dred cases Of Federal employees
who have been fired because Of
Hatch Act violations. Presumably,
the commission could reinstate
some of these employees in cases
where it found no fragrant viola
tion. These reinstatements would
also require the unanimous vote
of the three Civil Service Commits
Sioners.
The leading opposition to the
bills final passage yesterday came
from Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio.
Senator Taft charged that the
lesser penalty provision would i'm
pose only "a slap on the wrist" on
offending employees. The Senator
asserted that a 30-day dismissal
penalty would not act as a deter
rent. since "the political party
which employed the worker would
pay him for any time he lost from
work."
In reply. Senator Stennis, Dem
