boards in comparing salaries.
Since the wages of these groups of
workers are considerably higher
than of other skilled employees, the.
Federal employe groups want these
projects to be included in the
wage surveys which determine
their pay.
The wage boards until now have
refused to do this, contending that
private construction work is only
a seasonal occupation and there
fore the higher wages paid such
employees could not be given to
Federal skilled workers who work
all-year- round. This is disputed by
Federal union groups who contend
that construction work is no
longer seasonal and has not been
since 1910, and therefore they
claim that it is valid to include
these salaries in wage survey COM

Federal wage surveys also include
the salaries given employees in lob

where selective work is done on a
specialized basis.
Such a change in wage survey
procedure would result in con-

Weak as Nominee,
Doubts He Can Win
BY the Associated Press

/ Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Vir-
lginia, said he regards President
Truman as weaker today than
any" other possible Democratic
nominee for the presidency in
1852 and he does not think the
President can be reelected.
Senator Byrd. perhaps Mr., Tru-
mans bitterest critic within his
own party. said it is his personal
belief that he is going to run
If he thinks he can win" and he
added: I've been doing all !
can to help him make up his
mind. do not think he can be
elected if nominated"
Mr.. Truman has said he has
decided whether he will run again
but IS not ready to announce his
decision.
Meanwhile, Senator Aiken. Re
publican. Vermont. proposed that
the Republicans nominate for the
vice presidency the Senates only
!current woman member. Senator
Margaret Chase Smith Of Maine.
Mrs. Smith said she is not a can
didate.
Different From '4S. q
Senator Byrd. in an interview
with the magazine, U. S. News and
World Report. left little doubt that
if Mr.. Truman wins the Demo-
cratic nomination again, he will
continue to oppose him. In 1948,
the. Senator opposed him up to
and during the party convention,
but remained silent thereafter.
Conditions were different in '48
from what they are now" Senator
Byrd said. To-day I am convinced
that Mr.. Truman would bring this
country to disaster if his program
is adopted. 49, =.
Il feel further that his re-elec-
ton in 1852 could rightfully
be claimed by him to be a man
date from the people to put
through this program in its en-
tirety."
Senator Byrd said, as he did in
a recent speech in Alabama, that
Southerners should fight against
Mr.. Truman's nomination through
the convention and "hold our
selves free to do whatever may
be necessary" thereafter if Mr.
Truman is re-nominated.-
South's Opposition Bigger.
He said he~+couidn't say"
whether Southeff1ers who feel-as
he does would support the COP
ticket if the President runs again.
The Senator continued: ~.
II think the opposition to, Mr..
Truman and his policies rs very
much greater in the South than
it's ever been before.
Four Southern States, as you
recall. voted the States, rights

that in the South; you have to

opposed leaving the Democratic

Asked about feeling in the
South toward Chief Justice Vim
son. mentioned by some as a pos
sible candidate behind whom it
might be possible to unity the
party. Senator Byrd said any such
move would depend in part upon
the platform. He added:
Nobody knows that Mr.. Vinson
would accept if nominated.
Senator Aiken's boost for Mrs.
Smith as a possible vice presi-
dental nominee was made in an
interview.
Il know she would greatly
strengthen our 1852 ticket with
any one," Senator Aiken told a re-
porter. "And if anything should
happen to the President. the coun-
try would still be in strong, ca
pable hands,
Senator Taft. Republican. of
Ohio, predicted again yesterday
that under present conditions, I
can expect to be nominated by a

the comment after viewing a CHS
television show which depicted his

No Preference On Ticket.
He said he has no preference
for a running mate.
Elsewhere on the program. SEN
ator Lodge, Republican, of Mas
sachusettS. who has been named
national chairman of the drive to
win the COP nomination for Gen.
Eisenhower. said one reason he
is backing the general "is because
tits our one chance to get dur
able peace"
Senator Aiken, who has often
criticized what he calls the old
guard and reactionary element of
his party, said he probably would
support Senator Taft. Gov. War;
rem, Gen. Eisenhower or Mr.. Stas-
sen If nominated.
"If the Republicans want a can
didate with an expert knowledge
of government then Taft has it"
he added. If they want an all
around good fellow who has the

man"
