Although membership Of the

the White House, the labor repre-
Isentatives were expected to be
AFL President William Green, CIO
President Philip Murray, George
Meany, secretary-treasurer of the
AFL, and Walter P. Reuther, head

The union leaders who met with
Mr.. Truman were members OF
the United Labor Policy Commit
tee, representing all major or
ganized labor groups except John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers
and the operating railroad broth
erhoods.
In it's bitter criticism of the
defense agencies, the union lead
ers had accused Mr.. Wilson of
allowing ''big business" to plan
and operate the mobilization pro-
gram.
Labor indicated TIE decision tc
serve on the Mobilization Advisory
Board was made because the board
will report directly to the Presi-
dent rather than to Mr.. Wilson
And Mr.. Green said the Presi-
dent had agreed to attend board

tee recommended only $9,533 ,939I

Another cut was in the $454I
million budget of non military de-
fense agencies. The committee
voted to hold the agencies toI
I$224,750,OOO.
The committees recommended
tions were embodied in supple
mental appropriation bill sent to
the House floor for debate next
week.
The House. the Senate Appro-
ipriations Committee and the SEN
ate itself have yet to pass on the
amounts.
The committee also gave the
lFBI $1.360,781 to hire 1888 addi-
Itional employees for the country'sI
internal security program. These
positions would include 1850
agents and 1878 clerks and tech
lnicians.
For operation of programs
growing out of the 1850 defense
production act, the committee rec
commended $38 million, a cut of
$13 million.
In explanation OF it's larger re-
lductions. the committee said it is
time for the executive agencies to
make sacrifices in the interest of

these agencies. it said. seem will

funds and staff therefor and pro-
vided they can continue to carry

wholly unreasonable" to assume
that it takes 2.3 million Federal
employes to govern the country in
"a normal emergency" and then
demand that "a new army of spe-
cialists" be recruited for added
tasks.
"One way for Russia to &C
complish its objectives without
spending a ruble is to allow us
to spend ourselves poor-poorer
than we now are," the committee
commented. Our economy can
Withstand only so much borrowing
and that maximum is not too far
away"
Transfers Suggested.
| The committee said that if ad-
ditional employees are needed for
defense activities, they should be
transferred from other agencies.
along with the payrolls already
appropriated for them.
The money cut from the Voice
Of America budget was sought to
build 13 additional radio facilities
to broadcast the story of America
behind the iron curtain and to
Icounteract Russian propaganda
abroad.
The committee emphasized its
belief that there must be a strong
Voice of America program but
said it is very much disappointed
in the accomplishments and
progress made to date"

Organized labor's return to the
defense planning fold still left un-
settled today a number of other
critical issues with the admin

Chief among these remaining
differences were over wage con-
troll policy, establishment of a
board to administer wage controls
and the controversy over man.

In lengthy conference at the
White House with top AFL ano

persuaded labor to serve on the

1888. and that the suit was es-
sentially one against the Govern
ment without its consent.
Judges Bennett Champ Clark,
Wilbur K. Miller and E. Barrett
Prettyman of the Court of Ap-
peals reversed that ruling. The
Government went to the Supreme
Court which in April, 1947, held
80 that District Court had juris-
diction to consider the merits of
claims to ownership of the stock.
Court Decision Revised.
The case came before District
Court Judge Matthew F. Nc
Guire a year later. He ruled that
the Maritime Commission ac-
quired outright title to the stock
in 1888 and that the commission
had authority to hold such title
That decision also was reversed
by the Court of Appeals in July,
1850. The Supreme Court last
November denied the Govern
ment's petition for review. Judge
MCGUIRE then entered a final
judgment stating that the APL
stock should be returned to the
Dollar interests. The former Mari
time Commission members and
Secretary Sawyer lost in the Court
of Appeals last January 81 in their
appeal from the terms of Judge
McGuire's final order.
Another series of moves and
countermoves resulted in refusal
by the Supreme Court last March
IL to reconsider it's earlier refusal
to review, or to accept a new pc
tition filed by Solicitor General
Perlman March 2.
Complaint Filed by U. S.
On that same day the Justice
Department filed a complaint in
Federal Court in San Francisco.
1t followed this with a petition
for a restraining order to prevent
the Dollar interests from demand
ing transfer of the stock certifi-
Gates.
The Dollar interests countered
by asking that court to enforce
the previous court orders here for
transfer Of the stock. That petit
ton raised the question of pos
sible contempt citations against
officials and others. The petition
asked damages of $4,000 a day
against each defendant.
Arguments on the petitions OF
the Government and the Dollar
interests were heard this week by
Federal Judge George B. Harris
and taken under advisement.
Meanwhile. the Court of Appeals
here last Wednesday dismissed an
other Government plea to modify
the District Court order of Judge
Mcclure directing that effective
possession" of the stock be given
to the Dollar interests.
The appeals court took under
advisement further request by
Gregory A. Harrison, attorney fol
the Dollar interests. that contempt
citations be issued against Secre-
.tary Sawyer, Mr.. Perlman, Deputy
