By the Assoeioted Press

BONN, July 19.-The West Ger

day passed a revolutionary bill
|giving German workers a share in
the management of all large enter.
|prises.
BY a vote of 1876 to 140 the
Bundestag approved the govern.

overriding filibuster by opposi.
ton Socialists.
The Socialists filibustered dur.
ing a three-day. 25-hour debate
in support of labor's demand fol
an equal voice with owners in tht
control Of private enterprises.
The bill as passed requires en-.
terprises with more than 500 work
ers to give one third of the seats
on their boards Of directors te
labor representatives.
Newspapers, public utilities and
the civil services are excluded from
provisions of the bill.
"This is a bill without parallel

DR.. Gerhard Schroeder. a govern
ment deputy.
The bill now goes to the Bun
desrat (upper house, which pre-
viously had voted for it. The
measure will become law after

The bill contains a number of
other provisions designed to
strengthen the position Of labor.

SO Billion '53 Deficit.
The President said that for the
fiscal year just ended. the Gov
ernment spent $66 billion and
ended with a 81 billion deficit
He estimated the 1853 deficit at
$40 billion. This, he added, would
bring the cumulative deficit since
1947 to Sc billion.
He recalled that he had urged
Congress to raise taxes high
enough to balance the budget.
But he insisted that the prospec-
tive deficit, with its infationary
threat, is not sufficiently grave
to Justify reducing it by gam
bling with our national security"
Citing annual output of goods
and services that now approxi-
mates $34O billion. he continued:
"Taxes, prices and the Govern
ment deficit are important prob

toward satisfactory solutions of
these problems. But these prob

that employment, investment, and

Senator Kefauver of Tennessee,
not to be outdone by the Hartman
forces, called for a Democratic
Fair Play" amendment to the
rules of the convention, barring
the contested Texas and Missis-
sippi delegations from voting in
any delegate dispute until they
are finally seated by the conven-
ton.
The TeneSseean said that his
amendment would be similarAto
that pushed through the recent
Republican Convention by the
Eisenhower forces.
Maury Maverick. leader Of the
defeated Loyalist delegation from
Texas, also predicted there will be
a move in the convention Monday
to invoke the fair play amend
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt, announcing the
crusade which he and his col
leagues propose. said that the
fight for the new rule would be
made at the opening Of the con-
vention on Monday.
The purpose of the rule Is to
prevent, specifically, the seating
of the Shivers and White delega-
tions from Texas and Mississippi
who are anti-Truman and anti
Fair Deal. y
A spokesman for the group said
they had discussed the situation

Federal officials for weeks have
been at. a loss to know what ac-
tually was preventing a strike
settlement. About the only re-
naming differences between the
parties are seemingly minor ones
concerning a watered-down ver-
sion of the union shop. Mr..
Murray has greatly compromised
his original union shop demand.
Under a strict union shop, origi-
|nally demanded by Mr.. Murray,
all employees of company would
be forced to join and remain mem
bers of the union shortly after
employment.
Murray Makes Concessions.
Mr.. Murray has agreed to ex-
empt current non-union employees
from the compulsion to join. Also
he has agreed that new employees
be allowed to get out of the union
between the 18th and 30th days
of employment. The new employee
would sign a union card immedi-
ately which would be retained by|
the employer. Then. If he de-
cides against joining, he would
