House-Senate conferees on the
independent Offices measure haG
voted to kill both the Jensen and
Ferguson personnel cut riders and
apply selective reductions on an
individual agency basis.
However, the House refused to
accept the confereeS' action and
recommitted the bill with instruc-
tions to adopt a formula along the
lines of the House-approved Jen-
sen rider.
Consequently. the conferees
probably will have to agree on
either a modified Jensen rider or
on the Senate-approved Ferguson
rider.
The Ferguson rider would apply
"a 10 per cent cut in personnel
funds below original budget esti-
mates. The compromise Jensen
rider that the House wants adopt
ed would allow the filling of only
25 per cent of personnel vacan-
cies until a reduction in personnel
of Is per cent below original budg-
ct requests is achieved. This is
considerably milder than the orig
inal Jensen rider which would
have cut personnel Is per cent be-
low the reductions already made
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee and on the House floor.
Since most agencies already
have been cut 10 to Is per cent
below budget requests. whatever
action the confereeS take in
choosing between the House and
Senate riders or working out a
new compromise, won't make too

Truman Expected to Sign Bill
Extending Controls by 7 onight

Federal authority to regulate
wages and prices for 10 months
through April 80.
A major administration setback
was adoption of an amendment to
exempt processed fruits and vege-
tables from price controls. Price
control officials said this consti-
tuted about II per cent of the
housewives grocery purchases and
could mean a big increase in food
costs.
One factor expected to play a
role in the Presidents decision
was a gradual climb in the cost
of living in the last few months.
The Governments index neared
an all-time high for the month
which ended May Is, pushed up
by rising food and rent costs.

Furthermore. many essential
units in the various agencies al
ready have been exempted from

such departments as Treasury,
Post Office and Defense have been
exempted from the Jensen or
Ferguson riders.
COMMISSION-As a result of
his resignation from the Air
Transport Association. Chairman
Robert Ramspeck of the Civil
Service Commission is expected to
stay with the commission until at
least the end Of the year. Whether
he remains on after January de-
pends on November'S election. Mr..
RamSpeck resigned his $25. .O00-
a-year airlines position after the
board of directors refused to give
him another leave of absence to
continue his commission job.
APPROVED-The House Civil
Service Committee has approved a
bill to extend veterans preference
rights in Federal employment to
veterans who entered the armed
forces after termination of the
state of war between the United
States and Japan last April. With
the formal ending of the war,
those entering the armed forces
after that date had no veterans
preference rights in Federal jobs
unless they served in Korea.
The measure approved by the
House unit would extend veterans
preference to all other veterans.
The bill would especially benefit
women in the armed forces who
nominally wouldn't get overseas.
The House Civil Service Com
mittee also approved a bill to ad-
just salaries of custodial en-
|ployes who were transferred from
the Post ONCE Department to the
General Services Administration.
The committee also approved a
bill to give the retroactive part of
last years Federal pay raise to
survivors of Federal employees who
died between July !, 1851 and

President Truman is expected
to sign the new economic con-
trolls measure some time before
midnight, White House Press Sec
retary Joseph Short said today.
Without his signature the existing
law would expire tonight.
Earlier congressional leaders

predicted he would sign the meas

with it. Mr.. Short said Mr.. Tru-
man would issue a statement.
HE indicated he will sign,
through he is not too well pleased -
is the way House Speaker Ray

meeting with the President. At
the same time. Senate Majority
Leader Mcfarland said he ex-
pected Congress to quit and go

BY the Assoeiofed Press

PUSAN. Korea, June 3d.
South Korea's political crisis
neared a climax today as Presi-
dent Syngman Rhee handed the
Assembly an ultimatum-adopt
his proposed constitutional
amendments quickly or he would
dissolve the legislature.
II will wait only a few more
days." Mr.. Rhee declared. then
II will take decisive action in
compliance with the will of the
people"
Mr.. Rhee did not indicate how
he would go about dissolving the
Assembly. Korea's constitution
makes no provision for such
action.
Feuding Since January.
The 77-year-old President and
the National Assembly have been
feuding bitterly since January.
He mandS constitutional
amendments providing for popu-
lar election of a President and
"a two-houSe legislature.
The one-house Assembly elects
the President. It was scheduled
to do so last week, but Rhee
supporters forced postponement
|of the election.
The Presidents ultimatum was
read by Prime Minister Chang
Tack Sang, leader of a compro-
mise faction.
"A few hours before Mr.. Rhee's
message was read to the Assembly,
he received an ultimatum from
Representatives Of town and city
councils and provincial assem-
!blies, who strongly support him
The provincial representatives
warned Mr.. .Rhee that unless he
dissolved the legislature immc-
diately they would occupy the
republics Assembly hall.
Pressed by Own Supporters.
The ultimatum came from lead
ers of 600 Rhee supporters who
surrounded the hall Saturday and
held about 80 Congressman cap
tive more than five hours in an
attempt to force adoption Of Mr.
Rhee'S proposed amendments OF
dissolution of the Assembly.
Today the President asked the
local councillors to "be patient 9
little longer"
A third ultimatum was report
ed given a member of the United
Nations mission to Korea. Baron
Gerald Van Ittersum of the Meth
erlands said he had been warned
by right-wing political elements
to "get out Of Korea or else"
The Baron is a member Of the
u. N. Commission for the Unifl-
cation and Rehabilitation of Ko-
rea and is scheduled to serve as
chairman next month.

Federal Prisons Free
OF Serious Disorders,
Bennett Tells CeIIer

Federal prisons have been free
of revolt in the last two years,
in contrast with several riots in
State penitentiaries, the House
Judiciary Committee has been
told.
Chairman Celler made public
report received from James v.
Bennett. director of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons.
The report was made at the re-
quest of the New York Democrat
because of the recent serious dis
orders in State prisons" Mr..
Bennett said there have been in
dividual escapes and attempts to
escape, involving groups of three
or four prisoners. But most of
the fugitives, he added, were re-
captured quickly.
He cited the sit-down strike of
food handlers last spring at AL
catraZ, in San Francisco Bay, as
the "only disruption of normal
operations of any significance in
Federal institutions during the
last two years."
The director also said that Fed
eral prisoners are as close to their
Congressman and top Federal
officials as they are to prison mail
boxes. Special mail boxes in each
prison receive mail which goes
uninspected to certain Federal
officials and Congressman.
The report included statistics
showing that only three prisons
