EISENHOWER HAS BEEN SUPPORTED
BY CONGRESS-


For some reason, the idea has been gain
ing wide currency that the Eisenhower leg
islative program has encountered extremely
thorny going, and that only a relatively
small part Of it has any chance of becoming
law. There seems to be more talk about the
setbacks than about the accomplishments.
It was obvious from the beginning that
no program so all-embracing as that laid
down by the President at the start of his
administration would be approved in its en-
tirety. Some Of the Presidents friends and
followers are of the opinion that he made a
mistake in asking so much. But, whether that
is true or not, an objective look at the record
shows many very important accomplish
ments.
Jay Hayden, a nationally syndicated col
umRist recently discussed what has happen
ed. Eisenhower is approaching the end of
his first full fiscal year in a remarkably
strong position. It is not 100 much to say
that Eisenhower's accomplishment in the
held OF economics adds up to as revolutionary
g swing toward industrial freedom and sta
bility as Roosevelt's initial New Deal did
IN the opposite direction Of SOcialistic gov
ernment controls"
Mr. Hayden went on to describe num-
Der OF the major achievements. Some are
mgnly controversial, of course, and many
people Will disagree with their wisdom. Re-
gardless of that, the President wanted them
ane got them. Here is partial list:
The Administration wiped out all price
and wage controls. And it did this. as Mr.
Hayden observes, with no sign of imitation.
wholesale strikes or other disturbances that
We're prophesieG as resulting from that ac-
ton"
Government military buying for military
purposes has been reduced by $500, 900 600
IN single fiscal year. Yet employment has
been running at higher levels recently than
was the case year ago. In May, the num-
per OF employed reached a peacetime record. |
Substantial reductions have been made
IN taxes, from which all individuals and en-
terprlses will benefit in one way or another.
Even so, the deficit will be twO-thirds less
than the Truman estimate
Though the Senate and House agriculture
al committees voted down the Eisenhower
neXlDie support proposals, and voted con-
!Inuance OF ~ per cent supports, a surpris- /
ing number OF Senators from farm states
including Iowa, Kansas, Idaho, Florida and
New Mexico-supporte the President. Here
Mr. Hayden observes, "The avOwed purpose
OF president Eisenhower to cut back farm
price supports, hailed earlier as his greatest
pOltlcal danger, shows signs of becoming
an election-day asset"
Other Eisenhower reoCests which have
been approved include the st. Lawrence Sea-
way. which had been advocated bv every
president beginning with Harding without
success; increased social security benefits
national defense bill differing in number
Of important respects from prior ones. and
extension for year of the reciprocal trade i
plan.
That is the record of a stormy and event
[ul year. Few Presidents have obtained SO
much they wanted in so short a period.

Russia now has a modern fleet

But, he said, in contrast to World

Flanders Won't Protest Delay
In Senate Action On Censllre
BY 6. MILTON KELLY

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Flanders
(R-Vt) said today he would not
protest if a decision is made
on reasonable" g-ounds-to delay
until after the election Senate ac-
ton on his move to censure Sen.
Mccarthy (R-Wis;.
1t was announced yesterday
that no decision would be made
for at least several days on when
to call the Senate back into session
on the politically touchy question.
There were signs of swelling Senti-
ment among some senators cam
paigning for reelection to defer
the session until after Nov. 2.
Flanders, in a telephone inter-
view from his home in Spring
field, VT, said 81 am disappointed"
at the announcement of further
delay. Earlier, it had been widely
rumored, without official confirm
alton, that the session might be
set for next Wednesday.
Flanders said he supposed a
storm of protest from within the
ranks of Republican senators had
much to do with the delay, and
that he is now less confident of
a prediction vote on his resolu-
ton to censure McCarthy'S con-
duct as tending to bring the Senate
into disrepute.
IF senators who are running for
reelection feel that way" he said,
''I'm not going to run counter to
their wishes. But there should be
q private canvass by the leaders
among all the incumbent senatori-
al candidates before they finally
decide both Republicans and
Democrats. l think that will be
done"
Flanders said he has not been
In touch with Sens. Knowland of
California or Johnson of Texas, the

ers, who have been authorized to
call the Senate back into session on
five days notice.
Whatever their decision, he add
ed, 81 will not protest. But l hope
it will be on grounds that reason
able men can accept"
The special committee set up by
the Senate to consider Flanders
resolution scheduled another ses-
sion today in an effort to complete
by nightfall its report, designed to
serve as a guide to the Senate. The
plan is to make the report public
on Monday. It's tone is a closely
guarded secret.
From several senator's yesterday
came word they had been told
there would be no session to start
next week. That led to speculation
the session would begin Oct. A.
or else not until after Election
Day.

To keep the blaze away from other

The blast occurred during a fire

as part of the fire fighting dem

was supposed to put out the test

Job Right Plan
May Aid :. =.
Labor Peace r. ....~ .
BY NORMAN WALKER

LOS ANGELES Up R-- AFL off.
Gals said today a new plan for
settling job right rivalries between
ALL unions will 60 a long way
toward aiding labor peace.
The plan, calling for arbitration
of such disputes that cannot be
settled through negotiation, was
unanimously approved yesterday
by AL convention delegates.
Jurisdictional fights between un-
ions over which ones members
should perform certain types of
work have plagued the ALL for
years. The conventions approving
resolution said such strife has
spurred much Of the legislation re-
stricting union practices.
Squabbles over work assignment
have In the past often resulted in
strikes and other labor troubles
which employers have been pow
erless to settle.
The new plan leaves it entirely
up t o each ALL union on whether
it will go along, but most of the
AFL's ITO groups have indicated
they will subscribe. Once they do
they stand committed to follow
the plans procedures, all unre-
solved disputes would be put up to
an arbitrator, or neutral, for a
binding decision.
Most union officials regard the
plan as one of a number of i'm
portant steps taken recently by
organized labor to provide ma
chinery for peacefully settling dis
puteS.
Only a few months ago the AFL
and CLIO put a "no-raiding" pact
into effect. This similarly puts any
organizing fights between ALL and
CLIO unions into arbitration for
binding decision.
A number of major unions, also,
have negotiated bilateral agree
mentS clarifying conflicting juris-
dictional lines between unions and
pledging that any disputes will be
peacefully negotiated.
The agreements are considered
to be legal contracts, enforceable
in the courts if subscribing unions
try to break them. But officials
who have participated in writing
the pacts say there Is real intent
among unions to live up to their
terms.
