most Democrats will vote against
the resolution on the floor.
8. No immediate reaction came
from the White House, although
Senator Knowland of California,
chairman of the Republican Pol
icy Committee said he notified
both the White House and the
State Department of the Policy
Committee meeting.
4. The House Republican Pol
icy Committee met and, while it
took no vote, Majority Leader
Halleck said that probably a ma
jority of its members favored
some language along the line of
the Senate amendment.
S. Although the House Foreign
Affairs Committee had already
approved the Eisenhower draft
unanimously without change,
Representative Vorys, Republic
can, of Ohio, in charge of it,
called the Senate action ITEM
perate and cautious" and said
it is possible the House Foreign
Affairs Committee may consider
a comparable amendment.
Democratic Leader johnson.
who is also chairman of his
party's Political Committee, said
the Democrats would stick by
Gen. Eisenhower's original reso-
luton.
He said the committee ap-
proved unanimously this state
ment:
1--WE accepted President Eisen-
hower's advertisement reSolu-
ton as a sincere effort to achieve
bipartisan condemnation of So
Wet imperialism. We agreed to
join the President and support
that resolution in the same spirit
in which it was submitted to
Congress by him. We repeat
that pledge"
The statement added the
amendment would negate the
resolution" and said:
'It would offer the Com
munists an excuse for their vio-
lations of international agree
ments by raising a doubt as to
the validity of the agreements
which have been violated"
Senator Sparkman of Ala
bama, said the Republicans were
"repudiating their President"
If party lines hold, the Sem
ate vote will be extremely close.
The Senate lineup is 48 Re-
publicans, Al Democrats and
one independent. Senator
Morse of Oregon, the lone indie
pendent. was not prepared to

Here are the two sides to the

one broken Russian promise
there were 40 to SO agreements
made with the Soviet Union by
Presidents Roosevelt and Tru-
man during the war, many OF
which Republicans have criti-
cized and challenged ever since
The Republicans say they offered
the amendment to be sure that
in passing this resolution on en-
slavement they would not indi-
rectly be approving the agree
ments as a whole. They also
argued that they have merely
written into the resolution what
Secretary of State Dulles stated
in his testimony, namely, that
sit validates nothing that is in
valid"
The Democrats argue that the
Republican sponsored amend
ment casts a shadow of doubt or
the legality of the agreements
and that Congress cannot con-
sistently condemn Russia in the
first paragraph for violating
agreements and then throw
doubt on the Validity of the
agreements in a later paragraph
OF the same document.

CTC Says Hiring
Of Negro Crews
Is Not Feasible ]
Operators Attitude
Bars Move, Officiol
Tells Rate Hearing

The Capital Transit Co. re.
stated today its willingness to
hire Negro streetcar and bus op-
orators but also reiterated its be.
lief that 1t is not feasible because
of the white workers attitude.
The statement was made as the
PUBLIC Utilities Commission re-
sumed hearings on the company's
petition for higher fares. It was
in response to the position of q
Howard University group which
has intervened in the rate case
in the interest Of Negro employ.
ment.
Reads Statement.
The company's statement, read
by F. Gloyd Await, company
counsel, was:
"The problem of employing
Negro operators is one of wheth-
er the company ends up with
more or less operators. 1t is the
considered Judgment of the COM
pany, on the basis of past expert
ence and the attitude of its
present operators, that if Negroes
were hired as operators the COM
pany would end up with more
overtime rather than less over
time. Except for these circum-
stances the company would be
perfectly willing to hire Negroes
as operators"
The point about overtime is
that with an insufficient num-
ber Of employees more overtime
would result, and higher costs.
Rate Expert Questioned.
Today's hearing was given
over to cross-examination by Mr..
Await of Fred w. Kleinman.
chief accountant for the Illinois
Commerce Commission. He has
been retained as a rate-of-re-
turn expert by the utilities COM
mission.
There were frequent wrangles
between Mr.. Await and Mr..
Kleinman. the attorney object
ing at one point that Mr.. Klein
man was making speeches in
stead of answering questions.
Mr.. Kleinman has testified q
fair rate OF return for Capital
Transit would be between 6 and
6.25 per cent. The company
contends it should get 10 per
cent. The company is asking
fares of 20 cents, 5 tokens for
95 cents and elimination of the
