colleagues from Georgia.
Byrd told the Georgia Demo-
Gratis, as they applauded his at
tack on the Administration:
"The South is not im~potent. No
Democratic President can be
elected without the votes of the
Southern states. The two-thirds
rule was a protection to minori-
ties in the Democratic Party just
as the Constitution is a protection
to minoritits among our citizen
ship. The South should demand its
restoration in the 1852 National
Convention before candidates are
voted on"
The two-thirds rule was re-
E pealed in 1886 and the South
lost much Of its bargaining
strength in the party.
Byrd also appealed to the South

Safeway Has Agreed

managers after it's contract with.

Managers Union (AFL) expired

Instead of being guided by the

"Short-Sighted" Policy.
This is a clear example of how
the Taft-Hartley Act, as labor
warned, serves to inure the cause
of cooperative labor-management

comes at critical point during
House consideration Of the highly
controversial universal. military
training and service bill.
Repeatedly, the House Armed
Services Committee in approving

student deferment plans in out
line. Several members have since
found they didn't realize how
liberal they would be until spelled
out.
Supporters Of the bill did a
double-gulp when, amid arguing
in the House the necessity of
reducing the present draft age
from 10 years to 1917 years they
read front page stories of the new
student deferment regulations.

to govern us during a normal
emergency, and then when a
greater emphasis is placed on the
security of the country and on
the development of Its capacity
to defend itself, a new army of
specialists must be recruited to
perform the added task"
To back UP its words, the COM
mittee slashed the administra-
tion's emergency requests by a
whopping 43 per cent.
The committee further declared: !:
"Our Federal Government, al
ready too large. should not be
permitted to grow larger, often

nection with national defense.
Such additional employees as are
directly needed for national de-
fense are to be transferred to
defense activities, together with
such funds as have been hereto
fore appropriated for their sa-
laries and expenses.
What the committee directed
was that the defense agencies,
wherever possible, recruit new en-
ployes by transfer from non-de-
fense agencies. This also holds true
for the new economic and
mobilization and control agencies, :,
who also were instructed to re-
cruit employees via transfers from
other Federal units.
And those units in old-line de-
