ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-Sena-
tor Louis L. Goldstein, Demo-
crat, of Calvert County, a caus-
tic-tongued critic of bigger
budgets, wants the Legislature
to set up watchdog committee
to check on State spending the
year around.
We've got to be sure these
State agencies really need all
this money they ask us for" the
Senate floor leader and Finance
Committee chairman declared.
He mentioned no names but
said there had been cases where
persons representing State de-
partmentS had stretched a point
or two to get more funds.
Mr.. Goldstein said he thought
the best plan would be for five
legislators from the Senate
Finance and House Ways and
Means Committees to make un-
announced tours Of the State
institutions and agencies to
check on their actual needs. If
necessary, he said. he will in
troduce . resolution for that

penditures to q central Federal
authority.
The report urged also that all
reports of candidates, commit
tes and individuals on campaign
expenditures be centralized in
one depository where they could
be made conveniently available
to the public.
It proposed that uniform ac-
counting and reporting practices
be established, in order that con-
rributors should be assured their
contributions were properly
handled and for the purposes
intended.
A further recommendation was
that all committees supporting
various candidates for both State
and Federal Offices should be
required to keep such records Of
expenditures as will Substan-
TALLY reflect the amounts ex-
pended in behalf of each candi-
date for Federal Office. "If this
is not done," the subcommittee
commented, "then the ALLEGATION
of funds is resolved into pure
speculation and any dollar limi-
tation with respect to a COM
mittee's Federal campaign ex-
penditures would be meaning

Want $4,000 Gift Limit.
The subcommittee suggested
that the present $1,000 limit on
any individuals contribution to
a candidate be retained. It added.
that any individual who con-
tributed to more than one candi-
date or more than one committee
be required to report such gifts
to a central agency before elec-
ton.
Calling attention to the fact
that under the existing laws
candidates for the Senate are
not compelled to report on per-
sonal travel expenses, printing.
mailing and other expenses, the
subcommittee said all these ex-
emptions should be abolished. It
suggested a $4,000 limit for
senatorial candidates, or a total
representing not more than 10
cents for each vote cast in the
last primary or general election
for the Office, and a top limit of
$250,000. The present limit on
senatorial candidates is $25. 900.
Finally the subcommittee pro-
posed that Congress ask the
states to provide uniform laws
for recounts in Federal races.

Electrical Workers
Set Up Bargain Plan
For Contract Talks
Sv the Assoeiossd Press

James B. Carey, president of
the CIO Electrical Workers
Union, yesterday outlined a five
point bargaining program which
will form the basis of the unions
contract demands throughout
1858.
The demands include wage in
creaSeS and a new pension sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Carey said it was "the first
time in history that a union is
making public it's collective bar
gaining program" in advance Of
actual negotiations.
Mr.. Carey's union claim to
represent more than $50, 900 elec-
trical workers, of whom an esti-
mated 100000 are actually mem
bers of the union.
Calls 1t Advance Notice.
Announcing the broad aims at
a news conference, Mr.. Carey
said the advance notice to en-
ployers would allow them to
study the unions program and
thus eliminate "the usual ex-
change of weather reports across
the bargaining table" during
preliminary negotiating sessions.
The unions contract with Cen
eral Electric, a major producer.
ends next September, but it con-
tains a wage reopener which will
lead to negotiations next month.
Mr.. Carey said. Another major
producer, Westinghouse, has a
contract with the union which
ends in October, with a wage re-
opener for April.
All in all, the union has con-
tracts with % large companies
and hundreds of other employ
ers, Mr.. Carey said. Termination
dates of the one-year contracts
are staggered throughout the
last half of 1858.
Three Arguments as Basic.
Mr.. Carey said wage demands
will be based on these three
arguments: An increase to Off
set any increase in the cost Of
living since the last contract
signing; an increase to match
the expanding productivity in
the industry, which Mr.. Carey
estimated at least 3 per cent,
higher than the national aver
age; and increases to wipe out
'lots of inequities" in present
wage scales, particularly in in
centive rates of pay.
. Other points in the 1853 bar
gaining program:
/. A new pension system under
which employees would not have
to make contributions from their
wages.
z. Prot1t-Shar1ng plans, to be
worked out by joint manage
ment-unlon committees on the
local level.
3. A complete insurance and
health program to provide
sufficient life insurance, sickness
and accident disability and to
protect the workers against the
insecurities of ill-health and
medical emergencies"
4. The union shop in all
plants. Mr.. Carey called General
Electric "a major holdout"
against the union shop, under
which all employees must join the
union.
The average Straight-time
hourly wage for Westinghouse
and General Electric employees
now runs between $1.83 and So,
Mr.. Carey said.

Presidential Order To Provide Public More Information

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower issued an order Fri day designed to give citizens a freer flow of information about their government without jeop- ardizing national security.

 In announcing the forthcoming repeal of the Truman order Atty. Gen. Brownell denounced it as smacking of dictatorship" The cabinet officer also said that un- der the old order government of ficials could cover up dereliction of duty and mistakes.
 In brief, the Eisenhower order:
 l. Eliminates the restricted category for classifying govern ment data as harmful to national security if made public-leaving only "top secret" "secret" and confidential.

Researcher Succeeds In Photographing Polio Virus For The First Time

POCONO MANOR, Pa., R - The camera lens has caught a public enemy: polio virus.
 Magnified from 100000 to 3OO,- 900 times, the deadly beings ap- pear as tiny round balls-so small that a million side by side barely would measure an inch long.
 Dr. A. R. Taylor, research virol- ogist of Parke, Davis & Co. De troit, showed the pictures-taken with the aid of an electronic mic roscope - to the Electron Micro scope Society of America.
 The pictures confirming esti- mates that the polio bug is one of the smallest known viruses said Dr. Taylor, were taken dur ing studies which indicate the feasibility of preparing concen- trated virus necessary to make a polio vaccine.
 A vaccine Parke-Davis is devel- oping must be further tested, Tay- Tor said, before it is ready for general use - maybe a year or more from now.

PANMUNJOM, LR - The one British and p US. prisoners who supposedly choose Communism held two Indian officers hostage Friday until the Repatriation Commission heard their charge that they were being "intimi- dated" by mail from the United States.
 The two Indians were unharm- ed, but they were held for four hours until the full commission, headed by It. Gen. K. s. Thin- ayya of India, visited the com pound and accepted a long, type written protest.
 The prisoners demanded that mail from home be censored and charged that many of the ''come home" letters they were receiving from the United States were from strangers.
 Thimayya returned from the camp with some unopened letters which the prisoners handed over to the commission.
 At a news conference, he held up one and read off the name of the sender, "Mrs. Ernest N. Began of Weaberville, NC"
 The letter from the prisoners was protest against an armistice violation by the United Nations Command and the custodian force, India"

Mrs. Wells, At Liberty On s5,OOO
 Bail Returns To Fairbanks To
 Face First Degree Murder Charge

SEATTLE, R - Mrs. Diane Wells, at liberty on $5,OOO bond, flew north to Fairbanks Friday to face first degree murder charg- es placed against her for the fatal shooting of her husband, Cecil.
 Mrs. Wells was freed on bond, posted by Wallace Aiken, attorney for the Wells estate late Thurs day, under a promise to return to Fairbanks on or before Nov. 23. She was paying her own fare back north, Aiken said.
 The attractive 31- year old widow slipped away from the King County jail Thursday after declining to make a further state ment on the case.
 In Oakland, Calif., Johnny War ren, 33-year-old Negro night club drummer, still was held under the same charges as have been pre- ferred against the widow of the former president of the All-Alas- ka Chamber of Commerce.
 Warren will face a preliminary hearing before the US. Commis- sioner in Oakland next Tuesday. ~ Aiken said Mrs. Wells was freed under bail because she is charged with murder under Alaska terri torial law, where Federal district courts operate under dual juris- diction and murder is a bailable offense.
 Both Warren and the woman have denied any part in the slay- ing but Warren was quoted by police officials as saying he had been in the apartment house early the morning Wells was slain, look ing for someone to drive to Oak land with him:
 Police in Oakland said they had questioned Warren last week for 19 hours and had taken a 23-page statement from him.
 Warren was quoted in the state ment as saying he became ac- quainted with the woman at the Fairbanks Golf and Country Club, where he was playing.
 The officers said Warren then told of meeting her several times later
 Inspector Mangini quoted War ren as having said he owned pistol because he was "afraid of Wells," then denied knowing him. Warren said he sold the pistol of .38 caliber, before the shooting.
 Fairbanks police said a .38 bull let was imbedded in the pillow under Wells head.

Harry Dexter White, Asst. Secretary of Treasury In Truman Administration, Was Russian Spy, Says Atty. General

 Brownell said Friday that Harry Dexter White, Asst. Secretary of the Treasury in the Truman ad- ministration, was a Russian spy, but was kept in the government even after the FBI reported this to the White House.
 The Attorney General charged that s'in the face of this informa- ton" President Truman advanced White to the important position of executive director for the Unit ed States in the International Monetary Fund.
 Brownell described Truman's action in the matter as ''incred- ible."
 He asserted that 1t is a source of humiliation to every Ameri- can that during the period of the Truman administration the Com munists were so strikingly suc- cessful in infiltrating the govern ment of the United States"
 This, he said, had left to the Eisenhower regime livery diff cult task" of wedding out sub versive elements from the federal payroll.
 White came into the govern ment during the Roosevelt admin istration. He died Aug. IS, 1948.
 Truman was informed in Kan sas City of Brownells remarks. The former President said: T don't recall that such a thing happened. As soon as we found out that White was wrong we fired him.
 Truman then added that the Eisenhower administration is desperate"
 "There is a desperate effort to offset what has happened in New York and New Jersey" he said, referring to Tuesdays election, "and they'll stop at nothing, lies or anything else, to accomplish their purpose. They're scared.'
 Although Truman spoke of hav- ing fired" White, newspaper files show that the White House an- nounced on April 19, 1947, that White was resigning. The White House made public at the time a letter from Truman to White in which the President said he was accepting the resignation with sincere regret and considerable reluctance"
