Plan 10 Reorganize
Agriculture Passes
Senate Test, 46-N

Senate opponents of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's reorganiza-
ton plan for the Agriculture De-
partment were left today with
only a forlorn hope that the
House would block it.
In the Senate yesterday a
resolution of Senator Russell,
Democrat, Of Georgia to reject
the plan fell 20 votes short Of
the number required for adop-
ton. The only Republican to
vote for the resolution was Sena-
tor LANCER Of North Dakota.
Unless the House adopts a re-
solution Of disapproval, the plan
will go into effect June 4.
Representative Cooley, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina served
notice last night he would move
to call up in the House Wednes-
day such a resolution.
House Republican leaders said
they had no notice Of opposition
to the reorganization proposal
before Mr.. Cooley'S announce
ment.
A presidential reorganization
plan can be killed only by the
vote Of a majority of the mem
bers Of the Senate or the House
40 votes in the Senate or 218
in the House.
The vote on the Russell reso-
luton was 20 for and IS against.
Gen. Eisenhower. in submitting
the reorganization plan to Con-
gress, said it would make it pos
sible for Secretary of Agriculture
Benson to simplify and improve
the organization of his depart
ment.
Senator Russell and other op-
ponents commended the plan
would give the Secretary of Agri-
culture and his successors
"blank-ch check" authority and de-
prive Congress Of control over
Government farm programs.

in one place you have to go it
alone everywhere.
To develop a coalition among
the free nations, he emphasized,
compromises must be made to
find a way Of serving the best
good Of all.
Gen. Eisenhower said he was
not a particularly patient man
and so shared the Illustrations
that come to everybody who
thinks he is working for a de-
cent purpose and finds himself
baked by different opinions of
his friends.
Urges Patience and Faith.
He can understand that feel
ing, the President said, but only
patience and deep faith can
carry us forward toward peace.
He said that differences among
the 100 million Americans with
this country's allies cannot be
permitted to lead us to desert
the great purpose of free world
cooperation.
Without mentioning Senator
Taft's speech specifically in this
connection, the President said he
never liked to challenge the mo-
tives Of any one and could un-
derstand the feelings rising In
one trying to do right who gets
slap in the face.
He said the United States
needs the kind of leadership that
lessons these occurrences and
brings forward a little bit each
day the chances of peace.
Recalls Wilson Statement.
The President said he supposed
he should not use marriage as an
illustration, but that in any long
term partnership there are bound
to be ups and downs.
So there are bound to be ups
and downs in his effort to pro-
duce unity of the free world
based on appreciation of COM
mon factors, he added.
He recalled that Woodrow Will
son once said that the highest
form of efficiency is spontaneous
cooperation Of the free world.
Gen. Eisenhower said his pol
icy now is to try to find a prac-
tical way of proving that there
is greater efficiency in the CO.
operation of free people than in
forced unity Of the totalitarian
states.
Comedies Differences.
He conceded that there have
been differences Of opinion about
procedures among the allies in
the Korean truce negotiations.
But he emphasized that he has
seen no wavering at all among
the allies on the basic principle
Of no forced repatriation of pris-
oners of war.
He was asked if he thought
any truce opposed by the South
Korean government should be
accepted. The South Koreans

General Motors Joins
Ford and ChrysIer
In Pension Increase
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

DETROIT, May 28.-General
Motors Corp. stepped into line
with Ford and Chrysler today by
agreeing to $137. so monthly pen
SionS in current five-year con-
tracts with the CLIO United Auto
Workers.
With GINS assent to increase
It's pensions the union wrapped
up its drive for wage and pension
Improvements among the auto
mobile oinduStry'S big three"
producers.
General Motors had been the
first to adjust contract terms.
However. GIN refused at that
time to go above the original $125
to $3.50 maximum monthly pat
tern. GINS maximum was $3.50.
Contracts Now Alike.
Today's agreement enabled
GIN to catch up with both Ford
and Chrysler. Ford had been
first to increase pensions. Chrys-
Ter followed last night. The COM
panies pay everything above pri-
mary social security benefits of
$85 a month.
All three adjusted contracts
now are virtually identical.
Immediately after the Chrysler
changes the union went into
further negotiations with Gen.
eral Motors.
The union demanded a boost
In pensions to restore the pen
sioners' purchasing power as of
1850. when all three, contracts
were signed.
The Chrysler contract i'm
provements, effective June l, will
apply to 114,000 hourly rated
and 5000 salaried employees and
to about 300 pensioners. Robert
w. Gender. Chrysler vice presi-
dent in charge of industrial re-
lations, said they will add 81 mil
lion a year to the payroll.
Gains Applied to Base Rate.
These changes now apply to
more than 100000 workers IN the
big three's plants:
l. Nineteen of the "a cents
gained under cost-of-living adj
juStments since 1850 will be ap-
piled to base rates and cannot be
wiped out by any plunges in
price levels.
2. Workers will get a guaran-
teed raise of S cents an hour in
stead of 4 each June for the
duration of the contracts. This
Is called an annual improve
ment factor" to compensate for
improved production techniques.
3. All skilled workers will get a
raise of at least 10 cents an hour.
In addition, Ford and Chrysler
will give pattern makers and die
sinkers an additional 10 cents an
hour.
4. The new Bureau Of Labor
Statistics price index will replace
the expiring old one as the pay
yardStick. This conversion saves
the auto workers from taking a
2-cent hourly pay cut next
month.
Walter P. Reuther, JAW and
Go president, who joined Mr..
Gender in making the Chrysler
announcement. said he hopes
and expects the pattern will be
universally applied in our in
dustryD" To that end, the union
plans to confront scores Of
smaller companies on the matter
within the next few days.
