CARACAS. Venezuela. Mar. IL.
Haiti today ind dorsed the United
States plan to combat Commu-
mist i1filtration in the Americas,
virtually assuring its approval at
the 10th ter-American Con-
ference.
Ten of the 10 Latin American
nations attending the parley
have now gone on record in favor
of the United States plan, which
calls for joint action should
Communists seize control of any
Western Hemisphere nation, and
for measures to check activities
Of Communist agents.
Conference observers predicted
the plan would gain final ap-
proval with only minor amend
mentS. Mexico and Uruguay
have urged that the program
include action against "any
totalitarianism," but United
States Spokesmen feel this would
scatter the fire of their anti
Communist attack.
Haitian Foreign Minister
Pierre Laitaud told the confer
ence's Political Committee: "The
United States proposal is not
only acceptable. but desirable.
Our heritage of freedom in
America is too precious to allow
us to risk its loss to communism. :"
.Guatemalan to Speak.
The chief opponent of the
plan. Guatemalan Foreign Min
lister Guillermo Toriello, was
scheduled to speak before the
committee later today. He told
newsmen he would present a
proposal bearing a certain re-
lationship" to the anti-Com-
munist resolution under debate.

House Group 10 Study
Discrimination Ban
For Taft-Hart|eyA Act

The House Labor Committee
will consider today an amend
ment to the Taft-Hartley Act
which would make it, an unfair
labor practice for an employer
to discriminate because of race,
creed or color.
A bill to that effect has been
introduced by Representative
Powell. Democrat. of New York,
and will be voted on by the
committee as a possible amend
ment to Taft-Hartley.
Administration forces. along
with Southern Democrats on the
committee. are expected to vote
against Mr.. Powell'S proposal.
The administration. which is
opposed to a compulsory FEPC.
also feels that the Taft-Hartley
law is not the place for an anti
discrimination provision.
The committee, headed by Rep
resentative Mcconnell. Repub-
lican. of Pennsylvania yester-
day voted down a proposal to
outlaw industry-wide bargaining
The motion was made by Rep
resentative Lucas. Democrat, of
Texas. and was defeated 19 to 4.
Mr.. Lucas bill would break
up bargaining as practiced in
COAL. steel and other industries
by prohibiting unions from bar
gaining with competing employ
ers. except those with fewer
than 100 employees. and less than
so miles apart.
This proposal was bitterly op-
posed by organized labor. Mr.

fight against it.

given widespread authority by
Congress to go into policy mat
tiers and recommend sweeping
changes.
Mr.. Hoover made it clear his
group will have specific proposals
for cutting down the present
Federal payroll of more than 2.3
million employees. This is in con-
trast to the policy of the old
Hoover Commission. whcih did
not deal with the size OF the
Government establishment.
While declaring that a sub
stantial Federal payroll is neces-
sary because of the defense Sit
uation and essential Government
services, Mr.. Hoover said some
of it is due to just the sheer ex-
foliation of empire which is a
step to personal greatness"
1.-THE commission will be point
ing a finger when We get further
along with our work" he added.
The former President also de-
clared that many Government
workers obtained their jobs dur
ing the last 90 years by being
"blanketed in" instead of taking
merit exams. He said he had
been told that only about SO per
cent of Federal employees OBJ
tained their Jobs on the basis Of
civil service exams.
Some day will give you a
more accurate figure. Mr.. Hoover
said. "You have heard that term
'blanketing in That term also
connotes to cover up"
Mr.. Hoover's speech makes 1t
clear that the new Hoover Com
missions civil service proposals
will have widespread repercus-
sions on the entire Federal serv-
ice.

Forecast Defeat on
Flexible Price Props
By Allen Drury

House Agriculture Committee
leaders predicted today that the
administration will lose It's fight
for flexible price support pro-
gram even though Agriculture
Secretary Benson says he'll ad-
wise President Eisenhower to veto
any bill which extends the pres
ent 80 per cent parity rigid price,
support system.
One influential member. who
asked not to be named. said he
thought the committee "undoubt-
edly "woud approve continuation
of the 80 per cent program. He
added that there might be some
compromises" in other features
Of the bill. possibly in working
out "modernized" parity for
mula, which the administration
says would help get rid of agri-
cultural surpluses.
May Advise Veto.
Mr.. Benson told the committee
yesterday that he probably
would advise the President to
veto any continuation of the
present program. However. he
said that if Congress decided to
pass it and it became law. he
would administer it to the best
Of his ability.
Today it was beginning to ap-
pear that Mr.. Benson might
have to do just that. He and
his top assistants were sched-
uled to go before the committee
for their second day Of testimony
on an administration bill which
would give the Secretary discre-
ton to lower price supports or
basic commodities from 80 to Is
per cent of parity if production
| factors warrant it.
One Member Backs Plan.
Both Republican and Demo.
cratic members of the commit
tee joined yesterday in sharply
hostile criticism Of the admin
istration's proposed bill. Only
one member. Representative
Dague. Republican. Of Pennsyl-
vania, indorsed the administra-
ton plan.
Representative Cooley Of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat and
former committee chairman. told
Mr.. Benson he thought the ad-
ministration had "labored and
brought forth q mouse"
Representative Andersen, Re-
publican. of Minnesota, demand
ed that Mr.. Benson restore the
support price for dairy products
to 80 per cent of parity. He re-

Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
District Engineer Commissioner
today was inviting SO local or
ganizations to be represented on
a new zoning Advisory Commit
tee which he is now forming.
Gen. Prentiss has included

projected revision of the city
zoning code. Congress last year
appropriated $145,OOO for the
revision. which long has been
sought by authorities.
Will Name COnsuItants.
Gen. Prentiss indicated that
/ a professional consultant firm
will be named soon. The SCREEN
ing process has been going on
for months.
The firms and associations
that are now being invited for
the advisory body are requested
to submit the names of three
members or officials who can
serve. Gen. Prentiss then will
select one name from each
group. He said that from the
committee membership an ex-
ecutive board probably will be
appointed.

tonstall, Republican. Of Massa-
chusetts, has sponsored q bill de-
signed to cut down on the num-
ber of on-the- job accidents that
befall Government workers each
year
Senator Saltonstall said the
number Of injuries among Gov.
ernment workers each year il
"shockingly bad" He presented
figures showing that during the
last six years a total of 484 4,5ls
Federal workers were hurt on the
job. and 1,547 were killed. The
cost to the Government wa,
more than 1868 million.
The Saltonstall bill would re-
activate the Federal Safety Coun-
Gil in the Labor Department
which would operate the Gov
ernment's safety program. The
council would have q full-time
director and an adequate staff
OF safety engineers
In addition. each agency would
have to pay the injury costs
among its employees. Under the
present system. the United
States Employees Compensation
Bureau foots the bills. Senator
Saltonstall feels agencies will
cooperate fully in adopting eff
fective safety programs if they
must pay for injuries suffered
by their employees.
The bill was referred to the
Senate Labor and Welfare Com
mittee.
PAY-The House Civil Service
Committee still has IL more
postal pay raise witnesses to hear
before it turns its attention to
the classified employees phase of
the hearings. Classified employe
witnesses probably will begin to
testify the middle of next week.
Meanwhile. the huge turnout
of Government employees from
all parts Of the country for the
current pay raise rally forced
the committee to transfer its
hearings from its own commit
tee room. to the more spacious
House Caucus Room.
Yesterdays witnesses urging q
sizable pay raise were William M
Thomas. president of the Ma
tional Postal Transport Associa-
tion. and Samuel Klien, president
of the United National Associa-
ton of Post ONCE Clerks.
Meanwhile, the $500 dele

tions urging a study of jobs with

Democrats Propose
Joinf'Committee 10
Watch Over CIA


A joint congressional commit
tee similar to that which super
vises the activities of the Atomic
Energy Commission may soon be
set up to keep an eye on the
Federal Governments No. l."un-
touchable"-the sup er-secret.
hush-hush Central Intelligence
Agency.
The committee is proposed in
a bill introduced by a group Of.
Democratic Senators led by SEN
ator Mansfield Of Montana. 1t
would create a 10-man commit
tee, five from each house. which
would make continuing studies"
of the CIA. The agency would
be directed to keep the joint
committee fully and currently
informed with respect to its ac-
tivitieS."
Senator Mansfield told the
Senate, when he introduced the
bill. that growing suspicion" Of
CIA might lead to sporadic in
vestigationS by various COM
,mittees Of Congress" unless
single. overall committee were
established.
: Mccarthy Planning Probe.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
of Wisconsin tangled with CHA
some months ago and repeatedly
has been considering further
probe by his Permanent Investi-
cations subcommittee. He has
said he has "a really major
inquiry" in preparation but has
refused to comment on whether
It might involve the CIA.
Senator Mansfield pointed out
that C1A at present is freed
from practically every ordinary
form Of congressional check"
Both its appropriations and its
personnel are concealed from
Congress. he said, and. as a
result. 'it is difficult to legislate
intelligently for this agency be-
cause We have no information
which we can be positive is
correct" Congress. he said,
can only guess at the amount
spent-somewhere between $500
and $500 million-and personnel
repeatedly between 5000 and
10000 employees"
The Senator noted that calls
for Investigations of CIA per-
sonnel "have been met with a
resistance not encountered from
any other agency"
''The administration" he said,
appears to support the view
that CIA officials merit an inn
munity which has never been
claimed for the State Depart
tnent or any other Government
agencies handling equally conf
dental material. CIA seems to
have marked out for itself a set
ting above other Government
agencies, Congress and the pub
lc." 81e
Losing Confidence.
cIA. the Senator said, does
not enjoy the same degree of
confidence from Congress and
the country that the Atomic
Energy Commission does. And
"all signs point to a steady loss
Of confidence.
Senator Mansfield said the
agency is apparently involved in
matters directly affecting foreign
policy, such as aid to Nationalist
Chinese troops in Burma and
alleged attempts to start internal
troubles in Guatemala.
- Until we create some sort
Of watchdog committee" we will
have nothing but continued anx-
iety about the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and it's widespread
activities" the Senator said.
Actually, the nature of its
work, its peculiar place in our
governmental structure have
given this agency in effect po-
sition inviting responsibility. At
its best this makes for continued
suspicion; at its worst it is
menace to free government"

Most republics south of the Rio

demanded effective, prompt aid
to bolster their mainly one-crop
economies as one of the best
ways to raise living standards
and thus hamper the spread of

A chief source of grievance
among the United States SOUTH
