Don't expect anything like
q regional transit authority for
the control of area mass trans
portation to get through at this
session.
Even though the Senate has
passed such a bill. it's chance
of survival in the House is
small.
Virginia's opposition to such
a plan probably is strong
enough to defeat the bill on
the floor If 1t ever gets there.
The alternative proposal is
to set up some general overall
study Of the regional problem.
This has some adherents.
Others feel the situation has
been studied as much as it
needs to be and that action is
necessary now.
Virginia'S representatives
wouldn't mind going along with
a study measure but there is
no reason to suppose they
would change their position if
such a study ended up favor
ing an authority. For this
reason 1t might well be a waste
Of time and money to try it.
Public Business
Those who believe that pub
lie business ought to be trans
acted in public got q big lift
the other day out Of the sign
ing by Gov. McKeldin Of o bill
requiring Maryland local and
State government agencies to
hold open meetings.
It 10 now Illegal for any
county or city board. council or
agency, for any State depart
ment or agency, except one
attached to the judicial or
Legislative branches, to adopt
rules, regulations or laws in
closed session.
Interesting thing about the
law 10 that no penalty IL pro-
vided for violation. Some
think. therefore that 1t won't
accomplish anything. Others.
however. hold that any final
action taken by government
bodies in secret could be voided
by the courts now.

To Re-enIist in AT
By The Asseciated Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-Air
Force Secretary Talbot said to-
night he is alarmed at the num-
ber Of men failing to re-enlist
in the Air Force.
Unless salary inequities are re-
moved and traditional economic
privileges restored. Mr.. Talbot
said. "the efficiency Of our forces
will be impaired"
He devoted much Of a pre-
pared speech at a Waldorf-As-
toria Hotel dinner celebrating
Armed Forces Day to his plea for
better Air Force pay.
Many fine, well-trained, we'll
qualified officers" have chosen to
leave the Air Force and seek pri-
vate employment. and surveys
show more will do so, because
they cannot properly support
their families on present pay,
Mr.. Talbot said.
He said it is estimated some
100000 trained men will fail to
fe-enlist during the next year.
Saying that Russia is main
tanning peak strength in her
armed forces, and that only the
United States Air Force could
carry out the massive retalia-
ton" policy of Secretary of State
Dulles, Mr.. Talbot added:
I'VE cannot afford to permit
the quality of our equipment nor
the quality of our personnel to
drop below that Of the enemy"

Farm Revolt Will End
COP Lead Says Monroney
By the Asseeiased Pres.

OMAHA, May is. Senator
Montroney. Democrat, Of Okla
homa, tonight declared there's
a farm revolt in the Middle
West that will sweep the
Republicans out Of control Of
Congress"
It is caused by the Republican
record of broken promises every
hour on the hour to the American
farmers" the Senator said in
remarks prepared for a $25-a-
plate Jefferson-Jackson Day
dinner here.
Monroney said the administra-
tion's greatest" failure is in the
realm of agriculture.
1T takes a considerable bit Of
championship mishandling to
give this country the highest
living costs in all history at the
same time that you have the
lowest farm prices to producers
in recent history. yet secretary
Benson has achieved this dubious
distinction on the farm front,
Senator Monroney declared.
He said Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson's sliding scale sup
port policy is sliding the farm
erS into bankruptcy. :"

AH Convention Hits
Republicans Despite
MitcheII's Advice
BY The Assoeioied Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24.-The
American Federation Of Labor
convention yesterday passed a
resolution condemning the Eli
senhower administration despite
the appearance earlier in the
week of Secretary Of Labor
Mitchell, who cited what he
termed gains for labor under
President Eisenhower.
The AFL resolution, adopted
by a voice vote, urged large
turnout of workers at this falls
elections to vote for candidates
friendly toward labor.
The delegates approved a res
olution saying that "the present
administration has been guilty
of many crimes of omission and
commission. The resolution
accused the President of failure
to redeem various promises
made during the campaign two
years ago, particularly the prom
Use to remove the union-busting
provisions of the Taft Hartley
act"
Mitchell's Advice Ignored.
Last Monday EisenhoWer's la
Dor secretary told the conven-
ton that the AFL is unfair"
IN its criticism of the present
administration Mr.. Mitchell
said that if the AFL was not so
unyielding in opposing the adj
ministration, it might be more
successful in achieving the
unions aims.
The AFL delegates also unani-
mously approved a plan aimed
at peaceful settlement of work
assignment fights between rival
AFL unions. Delegates voted to
bind all subscribing AFL unions
to submit such disputes to an
arbitrator or neutral for decision.
Jur1sdlctional strife between
rival unions as to which ones
members should be assigned Jobs
nave plagued the AFL for decades
and have led to strikes and other
conflict which employers were
powerless to solve.
Called Important Step.
The new plan leaves it en-
tirely up to each AFL 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 COM
mitted to follow the plans pro- /
cedures, all unresolved disputes
would be put up to an arbitrator,
or neutral. for 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
disputes.
Only a few months ago the
AFL and CLIO put a "no-raiding"
pact into effect. This similarly
puts any organizing fights be-
tween AFL and CLIO unions into
arbitration for binding decision.

AS soon as he started on his

tic of endorsing key Republican
candidates by name when he
spoke of his good friend. Rep
resentative D'Ewart. at Missoula,
Mont, Wednesday evening. Mr..
D'Ewart is running for the Sen

Murray in Montana.
He continued that tactic yes

Gordon, seeking reelection in
Oregon, and Republican Repre-
sentatives Of Washington and

And he carried it forward last
night by describing Senator

In his talk to a capacity crowd
of $4,000 the President boasted
of unprecedented in our time
harmony between the White
House and Congress since his
Republican administration came
into power 20 months ago. This,
he said, has led to progressive
accomplishment for the good OF
all our people"
He called on his hackers to
"militantly resolve" to carry
forward together the great work
we undertook two years ago."
In thinly-yeiled digs at the
Democrats, he boasted that not
one of his appoiritees "has been
involved in scandal or corrup-
ton; emphasized that his ad-
ministration has applied the tax
laws without political favoritism
and without corruption" and as
serted it docs not look upon the
Communist menace as a Red
herring"
Sees Much To Be Done.
While his administration "has
delivered" on many of his 1852
promises, Gen. Eisenhower said,
there Is much to be done and
we shall keep on working"
Among things to be considered
by the Congress to be elected in
November, he listed "a great
program to expand our foreign
trade; new water resources and
highway programs; health and
medical care legislation to meet
the peoples needs. while re-
pudiating socialized medicine; q
new armed forces reserve sys-
tenn and relations between Fed
eral, State and local govern
ments. -
Calling for "a reminding OF
the enthusiasm and determine
ton" that brought his Repub-
lican administration to power in
1852, the President said .this
is the time to go to work" in
order to carry forward our
program"
