That, plus normal construc-
tion, would take such a large
chunk out of the classroom
deficit. Mrs. Hobby said, that
the emergency would be ended
and some permanent form of
Federal aid could be instituted.
But Federal-aid advocates
on Capitol Hill were scornful
of the Presidents program.
They said State laws and con-
stitutionS and a reluctance to
plead poverty would prevent
many States from using the
Presidents aid programs.
Senator Hill insisted that
emergency aid must be direct
and said he would push his
own bill calling for 81 billion
in direct grants over a two
year period. His bill is CO.

Labor
After 20 Years, AFL
And Clio Agree to Let
Bygones Be Bygones

Twenty years ago at an
American Federation of Labor
convention, John L. Lewis,
head of the United Mine
Workers. demanded that un-
ions be chartered to organize
whole industries without re-
gard to individual jobs. Old
line union men, headed by
William Green. AFL president,
insisted that organizing be
confined to specific crafts
painters or electricians, for in
stance-without regard to in
dustrial groupings.
The dispute over craft ver-
sus industrial organization was
so hot that Mr.. Lewis got into
a fight on the convention floor
with Bill Hutcheson. president
of the Carpenters Union. Mr..
Lewis beat up Mr.. Hutcheson,
but the old guard had the last
word. 1t ruled out industrial
unions and accepted Mr.. Lew
is resignation as an AF'L vice
president.
Upshot Of the dispute was a
split in organized labor. Mr..
Lewis, back in 1895, took his
faction out of the AFL and set
up rival shop as the Commit

Last week. representatives Of
the two huge federations met
in Miami Beach and agreed to
let bygones be bygoneS. They
signed a formal agreement to

The old issues truly were for
gotten and the old personal
tiles were not there to clash.
No one talked about craft VS..

cause both groups have long
since accepted both forms of
organization. The old sparring
partners were absent. Mr..

School Aid

President Eisenhower's cat
alyst" program of Federal aid
for school construction was
supposed to stimulate State
construction of classrooms
without involving the Federal
Government in local affairs.
But his catalyst, unveiled last
week. seemed to stir up a Wig
orous reaction only among his
Capitol Hill critics.
The dispute stemmed from
different answers to these
questions: Does direct Federal
aid result in Federal inter-
ference in local school dis

busy giving sworn testimony
again last week-to the effect
that they had lied like troopers
during previous appearances.
The two were Mrs. Marie
Natvig, a star witness in the
Federal Communications Com
mission hearings on an appli-
cation by a Toledo radio sta
ton owner for renewal of his
license, and Harvey Matusow,
professional witness in anti
Communist cases. Though
they were admitted liars, it
would take a court to decide
whether they are also per-
jurers.
Mrs. Natvig revealed last
week she had lied when she
Evening star., 1955-02-13
qqhted Military Pons shood Dispute Labor Harmony

testified that radio station
owner Edward Lamb had once
been pro Communist. She
said all her testimony tying
him to Communists had been
false. Why had she lied?
Because, she said, FEC lawyers
had "brainwashed" her.
Matusow continued his re-
carnations at a hearing in a
New York Federal court. He
had helped convict 13 Com
munist leaders. and he was ap-
pearing last week on behalf
of the 13. claiming he had
lied the first time. The Com
munists are seeking a new
trial.
Among the interesting
claims by Matusow last week:
He had confessed in a letter to
Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy
two years ago that he had lied
in his testimony. And part
of his testimony against the
Communists, he said further.
had been manufactured by
Roy M. Cohn, then an assistant
United States attorney.
The Government seemed
much embarrassed last week
by the new revelations. All
persons accused by the false
witnesses denied the suborna-
tion charges, however.
Who was lying this time
around seemed anybody's
guess.
Some of the facts behind
the Matusow case may be re-
vealed, however, when the
publisher of Matusow's true
confession book, False Wit
ness" diseloses what went on
during negotiations for the
book. After coming close to
a contempt sentence last
week. Publisher Albert e.
Kahn gave In to a Federal

confident the House would
follow the committees lead.
Heart of the bill was an
authorization Of S per cent
cuts in tariffs in each Of the
next three years. President
Eisenhower had said the re-
ductions were necessary to
stimulate world trade.

tricts? And will the school
boards use the program the
President offered?
Both sides agreed to one
thing: New schools are needed
badly. The President said
there was a deficit of more
than 100000 classrooms and
that under existing programs
local school boards could bare
ly keep up with the growing
number of children they
could not make a significant
dent in the huge backlog Of
needed schools.
Democrats View
Two key Democratic Con-
greSsmen chairman Lister
Hill of the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor and
Chairman Cleveland M. Bailey
of the House Subcommittee on
Education want the Federal
Government to wipe out the
construction deficit through
direct grants to States.
President Eisenhower wants
to avoid direct Federal aid.
however. He suggested a four
part program which, he said,
would permit the Federal Gov
ernment to stimulate school
construction while keeping its
distance. He recommended:
Q Government purchase of
school construction bonds in
instances where school dis
tricts cannot sell the bonds
at a reasonable price on the
private bond market.
. Institution of special State
school building agencies in
States where there can be no
more legal borrowing. The
agency-with Federal loans, if
necessary - would build the
schools and rent them to local
boards.
. Direct grants to school dis
tricts which could prove they
were unable to finance their
own schools in any other, way.
. Direct grants for planning
of school construction pro-
grams.
Sl,l2o,0oo, 900 prosrom
His program, the President
said,. would cost the Federal
Government $1.120, 100000 over
the next three years, with only
$500 million earmarked for
direct aid. This Federal SPEND
ing. he said. would stimulate
State and local outlays which
