PUTS PREMIUM ON
LAW VIOLATION

Less money and fewer personnel
mean less enforcement. Less enforce
ment of the Walsh Healy Act and the
Fair Labor Standards Act give I'M
scrupulous companies an advantage
over concerns that try to be fair to
their workmen doing government con-
tract work. Such an advantage can
only work to encourage further dis
regard of these laws since it puts a
premium on law violation.
When it cut the Bureau of Labor
Standards to 100000 from $838,0OO
Congress told the Bureau to main

Contrast the Department of La
Dor, with its $500 employees, to its
opposite number, the Department of
Commerce. Commerce employees more
than $4,000.
By refusing the money necessary

far has tried to keep this ''baby" De-

Another development of recent
days is the decision of the American
Federation of Labor to offer affilia-
ton to miners and smeltermen. S.
Wesley Johnson, regional director of
the AFL, following a meeting with
the Montana State Federation of La
Dor executive board in Helena, Sat-

and smelter workers would return to

Johnson stated he expects rebirth
of the Western Federation of Miners
as result of the secession move
ment in Butte and Anaconda, and said
the AFL would offer membership to
local unions with full autonomy and
they would be directly affiliated with
the AFL.
James S. TIMBER, state federation
president, said his organization has
pledged the closest and most COM
plete cooperation with the AFL.
"The miners and smelterworkers
move to join the American Fedora
ton of Labor" said TIMBER, "is the
greatest opportunity yet for the la
Dor movement in Montana to work
together for a better Montana"

that If Premier Mendes-France
succeeds in arranging an Indo-
Chinese truce. he will be in
power for q long time. The re-
suit Of today's vote promises a
degree Of government stability
that France has not enjoyed for
a long time. It also opens up
the possibility Of an active pro-

needs.
The first hurdle, however. is a
formidable one. It is not clear

about his chance of succeeding

ton to Western strength. But
presumably it would also call
for many changes in the treaty
already ratified by four prospec-

It is believed that Communist

as he is in power this projected
European army is dead. This
opinion is shared by a good

Guiding some American diplo-
mats who are fearful of reaction

so far as to suggest that the
Communists might be willing to
make peace in Indo-C China in
order to spike the European
army project permanently. ,
It must be added, however,
that nothing had developed so
far to support this speculation.
In yesterdays debate Mr.. Men

The Senate subcommittee dis

that impression.
Spencer Makes Appeal.
In his opening statement Com
missioner Spencer told the Sen
ate subcommittee:
1.-The House reduced the re-
quest to $168, 487,8 1888. The cuts
(from a requested $172.4 million)
were applied to almost every ap-
preparation in the bill.

are entitled to the services for
which they pay. Many essen
tial services rendered by the
corporation counsel, public
schools, civil defense and the

will either have to be curtailed
or eliminated if the requested
reservations are not granted.
His summary showed that in
the general fund there would
be an expected surplus ct the
end Of the next fisear year Of
50, 374,312 If the Senate restores
the requested funds to the
House bill and if Congress final
ly okays the full $40 million Fed
eral payment.
In the highway fund, Commits
sioner Spencer said, there would
be a surplus at the end of the
next fiscal year of $685. and
in the water fund a surplus of
$107, 1876.
In the new sanitary sewage
works fund, established under
the Public Works Revenue Act
Mr.. Spencer said there would be

of the next fiscal year Of $19,314
He estimated there would be a
surplus in the motor vehicle
parking fund of $923,073.

The question Of funds for

issue by asking city officials if

Counsel Vernon E. West who

New French Premier's Career
Began as Deputy at Ages
Mendes-Fronce Hos
Had Long Career
In Peace and War
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. June 18.-The approval
of Pierre Mendes- France as Pre-
mier early today marked the
climax of a long and sometimes
heart-breaking political career
which began when he was elected
to the Chamber of Deputies at
the age of Is, the legal minimum.
The victory made the 47-year-
old economic financial expert

A brilliant orator. Mr.. MendeS-

the Premiership during a 37-day

job was finally won then by
former Premier Joseph Laniel,
who resigned Saturday after los
ing q National Assembly con-
fidence vote on the. Indo- China
issue.
At 80 Mr.. MendeS-France was
undersecretary of State for Eco
nomic Affairs in Leon Blum's
cabinet. A World War II lieuten-
ant in the Air Force, he made
his way at the fall of France to
North Africa. There he was ar

Senate Votes Funds
For Defense, Fails 10.
Restore 7 Divisions
By j. A. o'Leor

The $29 billion defense appro-
priation bill is on its way to con-
ference with the House today.
after passing the Senate without
q Democratic mandate to keep
the Army at its present strength
Of 10 divisions.
BY q vote of so to SO the Re-
publicans defeated a move by
Senator Kennedy of MaSsachu-
sets and six other Democrats,
to block administration plans to
reduce the Army to II divisions
in the year starting July /.
Ten Democrats, mainly from
the South, voted with the adj
ministration to beat the amend
ment, which would have added
$3.50 million to cover the cost of
two additional divisions. Only
one Republican, Senator Cooper
Of Kentucky, voted for the in
crease.
Larger Draft Feared.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
Of Michigan. in charge Of the
bill, said monthly draft calls
would have to be increased sub
stantially to keep the two divi-
sions because the men now in
those divisions are gradually
completing their service.
Senator Ferguson defended
the reduction as a part of the
Eisenhower administrations new
approach to the national defense
problem. This approach is based
on a belief that, since the threat
Of Communist aggression may
continue for many years the
defense forces must be geared
to q ''long pull" rather than an
impending year Of crisis.
Senator Kennedy and his sup
porterS argued that recent events
in Indo-C China and at Geneva
have increased world tension and
made it unsafe to stick to budget
plans drawn up early this year.
Kennedy's Argument.
The Massachusetts, Democrat
said that if a mutual defense
pact for Southeast Asia is worked
out it would require United
States strength comparable to
the five North Atlantic Treaty
Divisions. and such manpower
would not be available under
this bill, he said.
The Senate bill added SIT
million of new money to the
House total, plus the continual
ton of some unexpended bal
ances. The biggest Senate in
crease. which must be agreed to
by House conferees was $142
million added to the mainte-
nance and operation fund of the
Air Force for additional flying
hours resulting from the gradual
buildup in the number of air
wings. The Senate also gave the
Air Force $21.5 million more for
research and development.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee recommended that
the defense establishment place
all security investigations of
both military and civilian per-
sonnet in the armed forces under
a civilian head.
