Compromise Seen
|0n S3-BiIIion Dollar
Building Program

A bill expected to touch OF q
multi-billion- dollar Government
building program is stalled be-
cause of differences between the
Senate and House over how
closely Congress should super
wise the projects.
However, two Senator's serv-
ing as conferees on the measure
said yesterday they were sure
some compromise would be
worked out.
Some hackers Of the measure
are fearful that President Eisen-
hover will veto it unless part
Of the restrictive language writ
ten in by the Senate is elimi-
mated in conference.
The President vetoed a minor
House bill last Wednesday be-
cause of language identical to
that adopted by the Senate In
the building program measure.
He said an unconstitutional in
vasion Of executive power was
involved.
LeaSe-Purchase Contracts.
The pending measure for the
first time would give the Gov
ernment authority to acquire
new post Offices and other types
of Federal buildings over the
country through lease-purchaSe
contracts.
Contracts would be negotiated
with builders to put up struc-
lures to Government specifica- :
tions. Payments would be made
like rent for periods Of 10 to IS
years, after which the Govern
ment would own the buildings.
Sponsors say the resulting
program might reach a total of
So billion to 81 billion, because
Of a big backlog of building
needs running back to before
World War II.
The measure passed the House
last year. and cleared the SEN
ate on April 20. No conference
between the two branches has
been held in the five weeks since
Senate action, pending informal
discussions to try to resolve the
differences.
Calls Bill Loosely Drawn.
The Senate held that the
House bill was too loosely drawn.
1t wrote in many provisions de-
signed to assure a tight congress
sional rein on the building prof.
ects.
The one causing the most
trouble states that the admins
traitors of the program must
come into agreement with the
committee on public works of the
Senate and of the House of Rep
resentatives with respect to such
purchase contract agreement"
before it can be executed.
This same language. except
that it referred to the Armed
Services Committees of the two
branches, was in the House bill
vetoed by Gen. Eisenhower this
week.

Aiken Doubts Senate
Will Extend Rigid
Farm Price Support
8y the Assoeiated Press

Chairman Aiken Of the Senate
Agriculture Committee said yes
terday the chances for an ex-
tension "of high-level rigid sup
ports on farm crops are very re-
mote"
At the same time the Vermont
Republican conceded there might
be a. congressional deadlock with
no action on President Eisen-
hower's flexible price support
proposals.
If that happens, Senator Aiken
observed, a 1948-1949 flexible
support law will go into opera
tion on next years crops. 1t diff
fers from the Eisenhower pro-
posal in that its flexible supports
would be lower, especially for cot
ton and wheat.
Senator Aiken has been an
ardent supporter of the flexible
supports asked by President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
Agriculture Benson.
His forecast concerning con-
greSSional action contraSted
with a prediction made by
Chairman Hope of the House
Agriculture Committee after
Representative Hope had break
fast Tuesday with President
Eisenhower.
Mr.. Hope said he is confident
that "a good sound compromise
farm bill" will be worked out by
his committee and passed by the
House.
The House group opposes the
lower flexible supports and IA
vors extension of the manda-
tory fixed supports now Sched-
uled to expire at the end of this

:. GUATEMALA, May 29.-Jose
Manuel Fortuny. No, / Com
munist in Guatemala. has been
relieved Of his job as party Sec
retary general. A party an
nouncement today gave i'll health
as the reason. One published re-
port said he was going to Moscow
for a rest.
The announcement immedi-
ately gave rise to speculation that
a split had developed in the
ranks Of the party, or that Presi-
dent Jacobo Arbenz had forced
the action to avoid criticism from
abroad of Communist influence
on the Guatemalan government.
Fortuny is repeatedly one of the
presidents close advisers.
Fortuny was a leader Of the
National Democratic Front which
q helps formulate government pol
icy. His removal as Secretary
general takes him out of the
Democratic Front as well.

: has offered Honduras a nom
i aggression pact. Guatemala
has not announced any reply
from Honduras.
= Guatemala has been described
= by the United States as a center
of Communist activity in Central
America. The government has
denied this and charged the
United States with a desire to
interfere in Guatemala's internal
: affairs.

to remove the stigma of COM
munism" from the government,

late because "the roof already
is caving in"
Flight Rules frightened.
The newspaper Ell Espectador
said Fortuny probably would go
- to Moscow for treatment. He
~ was reported to have made a
trip to Moscow last November
but there has been no official
confirmation.
The government frightened up
rules for commercial aviation
flights into the capital. All craft
were barred from Guatemala for
"a hours after a plane circled
the capital last Thursday drop
ping anti-Communist leaflets.
In Panama, President Jose An
tonic Remon issued a statement

contributed to successes of COM

these as discriminating against
Panamanians employed in the

tition from business enterprises
