President 10 Discuss
Labor Law Revisions
By the Associated Press

President Eisenhower SEIZED.
uled a meeting today with
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
of the Senate Labor Committee
and Senator Goldwater, Repub-
lican, of Arizona, a committee
member, repeatedly to discuss
Taft Hartley law amendments.
Neither Senator would talk
about the session in advance,
but informed sources said it
would deal with a promised
White House message on States
rights in labor-management re-
latlons.
This message. expected for
several weeks, has been held up,
apparently because of divergent
views within the administration.
The Senate Labor Committee
plans to finish it's ft-Hartley
revision bill by Friday. The bill
is likely to contain most Of the
Presidents IA recommendations,
but is expected to omit. for lack
OF a majority of votes in the
committee. the Presidents pro-
posal that the Government con-
duct secret polls among en-
ployes when a labor dispute
reaches the strike stage.
The purpose of today'S meet
ing. it was reported, was to get
Gen. Eisenhower'S personal view
on Federal VS.. State jurisdiction
in labor management relations.

Ex-Aide in Red Party
Tells Of Preachers
Offer 10 Cooperate

A former Communist Party
functionary today testified that
the Rev. John A. Hutchinson. a
one-time Baltimore preacher,
came to his party headquarters
in 1885 and offered to cooper
ate with the Reds.
The witness before the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities today was Earl c. Reno.
an employe of the United States
immigration and Naturalization
Service. who used the surname
of Dixon while serving as a
Communist organizer in Balti-
more in the mid sos.
Mr.. Reno's statement was in
sharp conflict with the story
told the committee last week by
DR.. Hutchinson who now is
a professor at Williams College,
in Massachusetts,.
Denies Going to Office
DR.. Hutchinson denied having
been in Communist Party head
quarters and testified he did not
know anyone by the name of
Earl Dixon or Earl Reno.
Mr.. Reno said today that DR..
Hutchinson and the Rev. Joseph
S. Nowak came to the Commu-
mist Party office in August or
September of 1885 and told me
they had been students of Harry
Ward at Union Theological and
had just been assigned to Balti-
more" Mr.. Reno said the clergy
man told him they ''had worked
with the Communist Party in
New York and wanted to know
how they could do cooperative
work in Baltimore"
The witness said he and other
party m m bers decided the
preachers would be valuable by
joining front groups-the Ethi-
opian Defense Committee and
the American League Against
War and FaScism.
Says They Asked About Joining.
Mr.. Reno also asserted that
both DR.. Hutchinson and Mr..
Nowak asked me as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of joining the Com
muniSt Party" He added: It
advised them against it,"
Mr.. Reno explained an unem-
pioyed minister is of no value to
the Communist Party and that
the training of ministers would
produce an inevitable conflict Of
theology.
He said that represented his
personal view and he did not
know of a national policy of the
Communist Party along this line.
He said he did not know that
either joined the party.

U. n. Secretary Drops
Present Efforts for
.Joidan-IsraeIi Talks
By the Asseeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, Mar. Is.
United Nations Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold an
nounced today he is suspending
efforts at present to get Jordan
and Israel to attend a confer
ence on their border troubles.
This development in the tense
Israeli-J Jordan situation came as
Western diplomats adopted a
"go-slow" attitude on ISrael's
appeal for them to demand an
immediate meeting of the Sc
curity Council.
Israel's Premier, Moshe Sharett.
said in the Israeli Parliament
yesterday he was instructing his
ambassadors in Washington,
Paris and London to ask for an
early meeting.
Commission Action Awaited.
Western diplomatic sources
here said the Western Big Three
likely would do nothing until the
ISraeli-Jordan mixed armistice
commission could reach a deci-
sion on who was responsible for
attacking a bus in the Negev
desert and killing II ISraelis.
They said the commission has
not been able to Sift all the EVIL
dence and it was useless for the
council to try to reach a deci-
sion until the commission has
been able to hand in its verdict.
Israeli delegates walked out
of the commission meeting in Je-
rusalem Tuesday after the Amer
lean chairman of the commits
sion, Navy Comdr. Elmo Hutchi-
son, abstained in a vote on an
Israeli motion. The motion asked
the commission to condemn Jor-
dan for the attack on the bus,
which occurred March Z. The
Israeli government has indicated
it will not participate in any fu-
ture meetings of the body.
Jordan Reiterates Refusal.
Mr.. Hammarskjold has been
trying to arrange a conference
between Israel and Jordan under
the terms of their armiStice
agreement. Israel, which first
asked for the conference, agreed
but Jordan has refused to take
part. Jordan reiterated its re-
fusal in a telegram received here
yesterday.
Mr.. Hammarskjold thereupon
informed both Israel and Jordan
that for the present my pur-
suance Of this matter any fur
Their is not warranted" His
aides said he was keeping the
situation under review but had
no plans for action.
The Security Council sched-
uled a meeting this afternoon
for further debate on Israel's
charges that Egypt is blockading
cargoes destined for Israeli ports
by way of the SueZ Canal.

BroyhiII Asks House
To Fulfill Promise
OF Aid for Schools

Representative Broyhill, Re-
! publican, Of Virginia, asked the
House today to honor its promise
by appropriating the funds nee
essary for additional school con-
struction in areas where schools
are affected by large Government
establishments.
During floor debate on the
third supplemental appropriations
bill, Mr.. Broyhill said the House
Appropriations Committee ig-
nored the Governments respon-
sibility and a congressional
pledge to give relief to these
areas. He said the bill does not
include cent for school needs
in areas of large Government
establishments.
MAY ! remind the House"
Mr.. Broyhill said, that these
communities are denied millions
Of dollars in tax revenues be-
cause the Federal Government is
a free loader'-because it squats
on otherwise taxable land and
refuses to pay taxes"
He said "Uncle Sam is the big
geSt tax evader in the United
States"
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
Arlington County, in his 10th
district. has one-sixth of its land
area, representing IS per cent of
Its total assessed value, owned or
occupied by the Federal Govern
ment.
That means, he said, that
nearly one-half of the property
value Of the whole county is pro-
ducing no taxes.
In the face Of this, he added,
over so per cent of the children
attending schools in Arlington
County have parents working for
the Federal Government. This
percentage, he said, holds good
for the entire 10th district.
"If we were able to collect
taxes on the land now occupied
by the Government" Mr.. Broy-
hill said. 1--WE would be in a DO
sition to adequately house our
school population. Instead, ii
is necessary to adopt makeshift
measures by doubling up class
rooms
Mr.. Broyhill said the situation
will become "intolerable" unless
Congress honors its promise to
assist school construction in
Federally impacted communities.

some respects. seems ideally
suited to the job. Mario Scelba,
the short. stout. bald Sicilian
lawyer. may not look like the
typical Roman strong man. His
personal courage is something of
a proverb in these parts, how
ever. and his name is more feared
by the Communists of Italy than
any other.
Has Started OF Right.
It was he who, as Premier de
Gasperi's Minister of Interior,
cleaned the Reds out of the ma
tional police. And it was he who
org nized and trained the
"celere"-the jeep-riding flying
squads of crack police who rep
resent one of the main bulwarks
against communism in Italy
today.
Mr.. Scelba, only just con-
firmed as premier, has started
off on the right foot. Last week,
the government came out with a
formal promise to defend demo-
cratic institutions against the
action of totalitarian political
forces proved to be under the
control of foreign countries. u
There was complete agreement,
the announcement said, ION the
necessity that in all sectors of
the national life, within the lin
its of the law, there must be
adopted measures to eliminate
abuses on the part of organiza-
lions which operate against the
democratic regime"
Whether this amounts to a de-
claration of war or merely a bit
of innocuous saber- rafting, is
impossible to tell at this point.
Mr.. Scelba. however. has a repu-
tation for meaning what he says.
Reds Stay Within Law.
There are many abuses of the
CommunistS-notably in the OPP
Grafton of the labor unions
which would bear a breakdown
by the government. The main
difficulty. however, is that the
Communists have been generally
very careful to keep within legal
limits and avoid the kind of
rough stuff that might bring the
boom down on their heads.
In short. Mr.. Scelba gives the
impression of a man looking for
an issue on which to pin an all
out attack on his Communist
foes. If they can be needed into
stepping out Of line at a time
when the government and the
country are united on a point of
vital national interest, the crack
down could start in earnest.
With these thoughts in mind,
many people here are looking
forward with considerable inter-
est to the opening of debate on
the European Army Treaty in
the Italian Parliament. The gov
eminent has promised to make
EDO one Of the first items OF
business on its program. The
Communists are committed to an
about fight and are expected ia
use every weapon at their dis
posal to defeat the treaty. If they
do that. it may mark the begin
ming Of a struggle to the death
which will settle Italy's political
future for many years to come.
Tomorrow Mr.. NOyes discusses
Communism as . symptom Of
widespread dissatisfaction in
Italy which will not be cured
merely BY Its elimination.
