break Egypt's blockade on ships
bound for Israel through the Suez

Ambassador Abba Eban in a let

Mr.. Eban charged that Egypt

that was supposed to have been
settled by the armistice Of 1949.
Despite protests by all the mari
time powers, Mr.. Eban said, Egypt
stops and searches ships, seizing

bound for Israel ports.
The practice has kept the Haifa

Inc senate committees vote
brought immediate critical reac-
ton from Chairman Murray of
the House Civil Service Committee.
Mr.. Murray said he will propose
to his committee a fiat pay raise of
$500 for all classified and postal
Iemployes.
Mr.. Murray thus has modified
his original plan, whereby only
iemployes earning less than $500
a year would get a pay increase.
Under the Murray proposal, the
pay raise would be only a tenn
porary one. After year, Congress
would review the cost Of living
to determine whether to make
the raise permanent.
"The Senate committees bill
doesn't make sense" Mr.. Murray
declared. THE only reason Con-
gress is being asked to increase
Federal salaries is the rising cost
iof living.
And who is being hardest hit
lby the increase in living cost?
The lower income employe, of
course. But under the Senate bill
the eInploye in the lowest salary
bracket would get only a 1892 q
year raise, while the big boys in
the top jobs would get $500.
Does that make sense? I don't
think so. and I don't think that
Congress will go along with such
| a bill.
"The bill I am proposing will
give everybody the same amount
LOT increase. It would be tenn
porary, but it would provide that
Congress would take another look
at the situation a year from now
And If the cost of living did not
go down, then we could work out
a permanent increase"
Referring to the arguments of
Senate Civil Service Committee
members that fiat increase would
Ilnbalance the Federal salary struc-
ture, Mr.. Murray said this could
be avoided by making the raise a
temporary one. Then, if after
a years time it appeared that
living costs were here to stay, a
percentage approach could be
worked out, he said.

|CI0 Attacks NLRB
Union Security Edict
As Highly Unjust
By the Assoeia,ed Press

The CIO today attacked as
exceedingly unjust" a Labor
Relations Board ruling that their
union security clauses with thou
sands of workers are illegal.
Thomas E. Harris, CLOS assist
ant general counsel, said the labor
group was considering asking Con-
gress to legislate away the NLRB
decision and investigate the board
itself.
Besides banning many CIO
union shops. the boards action
yesterday cast a legal cloud over
bargaining rights won by many
CIO unions and appeared to point
the way for AFL unions to chal-
lenge the CLOS status with many
employers.
Based on Ford Case.
The boards decision was in a
single case involving the Ford
Motor Co.'S plant at Canton, Ohio.
But board spokesman said the
same set of circumstances apply
to CIO contracts with perhaps as
many as 1000 other employers.
Only 80 or fewer AFL contracts
are in the same fix.
The gist of the unanimous deci-
sion is that union security-or
union shop-contract provisions
are illegal if they were ratified by
employees in elections held during
periods when the CIO or AFL OFF,
cials were baking at signing nom
Communist affidavits. The union
shop requires workers to be union
members, or be fired.
Must Sign Affidavits.
Congress in the t-Hartley
law allowed employers and unions
to negotiate the union shop only
if employees signified that they
wanted such an arrangement in
an NLRB-conducted election. An
other part of the law requires
union officers to sign non -Commu-
mist affidavits before the NLRB
may hold either a union shop elec-
ton or an election to get bar
gaining rights.
For a long time the NLRB re-
quired affidavits only from officers
of unions coming to it for help.
But the Supreme Court, in a re-
cent ruling, held that the law
meant that officers Of the parent
AFL and CIO must sign, too, or
no AF'L or CIO union could do
business with the NLRB.

Taber, Jensen Hit Back
AtTruman, Blame Him
For Initiation Troubles
By the Assoeiafed Press

President Truman's assertion
that responsibility for workable
controls law now rests with Con-
gress drew a sharp COUNTER -volley
today from Republican law
makers.
They blamed the White House,
in talks with newsmen, for the
Nations current imitation troubles.
Representative Taber. Republi-
can, of New York, said Mr.. Tru-
man has double-crossed the
people"
Representative Jensen, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, said the President
sis getting ready" for the 1852
political campaign.
AS the House continued to ride
roughshod over administration
controls proposals, Mr.. Truman
told his news conference yeSter-
day he has done all he can to
get a strong bill passed and that
Congress must now take respon-
sibility for the kind of law 1t
finally fashions.
Promise Fair Bill.
Representative Halleck, Republi-
can, of Indiana, Republican floor
leader, said he agreed that Con-
gress had the responsibility, land
we're going to give him a fair
and equitable controls bill"
But if he doesn't do any better
with it than the one we gave
him last September when we
passed the first Defense Produc-
ton Act, the country can't ex-
pect very much.
Hell get as good a bill as he
did last September, when he said
he didn't want any controls
a bill he refused to use until jan
uary 25 of this year."
January Is was the date the
Government imposed a general
price-wage freeze. Some provisions
of the law had been employed
earlier.
Representative Reed. Republi-
can, of New York, said it was
the administration which has
been doing all the proposing that
has brought us to severe infia-
ton"
Charges double Cross"
Mr.. Taber, the COPS fiscal
spokesman in the House, said the
President had been pouring kero-
sene" on initiation fires while ask
ing for controls at the same time.
HE has double-crossed the
people" Mr.. Taber said. He can't
go on promoting imitation and
have the respect Of any decent
person. Until the President realizes
he has responsibilities, there will
be no controls bill. That's what
Congress thinks"
Mr.. Jensen declared the Presi-
dent "is getting ready to blame
Congress again when campaign
time comes around"
And Representative Brown Re

Trumans recent activities and
statements indicate he will be a
