duties require the handling Of
Federal funds. But recently a
House Executive Expenditures
subcommittee recommended that
additional thousands of Govern
ment workers be required to post
bonds, in order that the Govern
ment be more fully protected
against possible loss of funds.
Representative Karsten, Dem
ocrat, of Missouri. the bills spon-
sor, feels that it would be a mis-
take to require additional en-
ployeS to post bonds. He feels that
1t isn't necessary to bond addi-
tional employees other than those
now bonded. Similarly. the Budget
Bureau is opposed to having more
Federal workers required to post
bonds.
AS a result, the bill which would
end the current situation whereby
bonded employees must pay their
own premiums, is still stuck in the
House Civil Service Subcommittee
which is handling the measure.
Mr.. Karsten is chairman of the
group and says that it will be
reported favorably soon. But he
is not too optimistic of getting it
any farther this year. due to the
House Executive Expenditures
Committees proposal for broad
ened bond coverage for Federal
employees.
The only hope remaining is that
some kind of a compromise agree
ment be reached by the two COM
mittees. But even then. the time
element would seem to dampen
chances of the bill becoming law
this year.
WRITTEN RIDER-The AFL
Government Employees Council,
which represents more than 50O,-
600 Federal workers, has written
to Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
asking that the Whitten rider re-
garding Government promotions
be modified in several respects.
The council thus Joined the Civil
Service Commission in asking that
the rider be toned down.
Thomas G. Walters, the coun-
ellis operations director, told Sen
ator McKellar that the provisions
barring more than one-grade pro-
motions and requiring employees
to stay in their present grade for
at least one year before becom-
ing eligible for advancement, will
do much to destroy the civil serv-
ice classification structure and de-
crease the morale and produc-

Fact Finders Are Due
10 File Report on
Copper Strike Today
BY L. Edeor Primo

The Presidential Board of In
quiry into the Nationwide copper
strike is scheduled to submit a
report today which will set the
stage for a Federal Court injunc-
ton to end the week long walk
out.
President Truman appointed
the three-man board last Thurs
day. He requested a report on
the facts in the case by today. On
receipt of the report, he is ex-
pected to act under the Taft
Hartley law and direct the at
torney general to seek a court
order.
Copper is the scarceSt of the
major metals and was in critical
short supply even before the
strike of Mine, Mill and Smelter

Mr.. Truman said last week the
stoppage, which also affects lead
and zinc production, had an i'm

the defense program.
Timing of Move Uncertain.
The President is in San Fran
cisco today for the opening Of the
japanese Peace Treaty Conference,
and it is not known whether an
injunction would be sought i'm
mediately or on his return.
Somewhat more than a third of
the Nations output (35 per cent?
was restored last Friday when the
Kennecott Copper Corp. agreed to
a 15-cent package pay rise for its
9,400 employees, retroactive to
July /. A company-fnanced pen
sion plan also was provided.
The three other major pro-
ducers. however, refused to sign
a similar pact. American Smelt-
ing & Refining Co., Anaconda
Copper Co. and the Phelps-Dodge
Co. told the Board of Inquiry that
the Wage Sterilization Board
would not approve such an in
crease.
Lapse of 80 Days.
The average wage in the cop-

Cut in ALLEGATIONS for
Non military Building

The structural steel shortage
has caused the Defense Produc-
ton Administration to make ma
jor cuts in ALLEGATIONS for con-
struction other than direct mill
tary needs for the last three
months of this year.
DPA Administrator Manly

such requests for military

might mean a delay in roughly

grams not tied in with military

Hot Fight in Senate
Seen on Plan 10 Tax
Larger Farm Co-ops
BY the Associoted Press

Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
OF Minnesota today predicted
there will be a hot fight on the
Senate floor over the Finance
Committees decision to levy a tax
On larger farm co-operatives.
Senator Humphrey told a re-
porter he and other Senators
probably will offer an amendment
to knock out the levy.
Only a small amount of reve-
nue. is involved. Finance Commit
tee staff experts predicted the new
tax would pick up SIS million or
$40 million a year.
However. the committee &C
ton, if sustained, would reverse
35-year-old congressional policy
of offering tax exemption to all
farm co-ops.
Lot of Debate" Predicted.
Senator Edwin c. johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado. Finance
Committee member, said in sep
arate interview there will be "a
lot of debate" over the levy.
There's a pretty sharp division
on it," he said.
The committee will resume work
on the House passed $72 billion
revenue boosting measure tomor-
row 1t already has sliced more
than $14 billion of the increase
out of the bill. !
The finance group hopes to nm
ish its work on the bill this week.
The measure tentatively is set for
floor consideration next week.
The tax approved by the Finance
Committee would hit farm co-ops
with more than 100000 of as
sets. Thus the small rural co-opS
would keep their exemption priv
nege.
Must Meet Two Conditions.
The tax would be at the cor
porate income rate. However,
even the larger co-opS would not
have to pay on the portion of their
income which they distribute in
the form of patronage dividends
as long as they meet two condi-
tionS:
/. Declare the dividends within
IS days after the year in which
they occurred.
2. Make the dividends in the
form of irrevocable obligations
payable within not more than two
years after the patronage oc-
CURED.
Some co-ops now pay dividends
in scrip which cannot be cashed
until much longer than two years
after they are earned.
Only about half of the farm
co-ops now take advantage of i
the tax exemption. To use the S
privilege, they must meet string I
ent conditions as to their Gus
toners and products. All nom
farm co-ops are subject to taxa
ton.
Routine Senate Session. Il
Meanwhile, the Senate sched- i
uled a routine session for today Il
which promised to be only a token /
affair. Il
With the House in recess until
September u there will be post
ponement for another eight days
or more of one of the major tasks
remaining before the lawmakers !
can shut up shop for the year.
That task: A compromise of diff i
ferences in two versions of the {

were inclined to be skeptical,

said yesterday that I'VE are up to

that he still is looking for ad-
journment around October l.
