0'hahoney Urges
Veto for Congress
On Trade Actords

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat.
Of Wyoming, appealed to the
Senate Finance Committee to-
day to give Congress veto power
over future reciprocal trade
agreements.
In prepared testimony. the
Wyoming Senator said he
would offer again the amend
ment he has tried to have
adopted in past years to require
all new trade agreements to be
approved by the House and
Senate before they take effect.
II do it again." he said, "be-
cause I believe that we cannot
hope to lead the world to the
adoption Of the principles Of
free government while at the
same time we continue to give
away the basic power Of the
people to legislate through their
elected representatives"
Cites Constitution
Senator O'Mahoney contends
the drafters of the Constitution
vested the tariff-making power
in the Congress.
The Wyoming Democrat said
he does not challenge the sim
cerity of the President. but con-
tends the President is not the
issue. In fact, he argued that
the President is too busy to make
the trade agreements himself.
Senator Martin, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, inquired if there
was any danger that the O'Ma-
honey amendment would get
Congress back to the logrolling
method of fixing tariffs.
Senator O'Mahoney replied he
has guarded against that by pro-

Proxies Hold Key
OF Wards $1,000 stockholders,
$4,000 own less than 100 shares.
Both the Avery and Wolfson
forces are trying to get these
stockholders to sign proxy state
ments for their respective lists
of directors. Whoever gets the
most proxies, wins.
Mr.. Avery has hired George
son & Co., a professional proxy
soliciting firm, to help get out
the vote for him. Mr.. Wolfson
has hired the Kissel Organiza-
ton for the same purpose. Both

Wards was founded in Chicago

Mr.. Avery disagrees. He says,

BAUMCARTNER
WINS FIFTH
CASH AWARD

Submit your ideas for improved
methods, man-hour savings and
total cost to the government. That
is the motto for this weeks award
winners at Erie Ordnance Depot.
Joseph A. Baumgartner, depot
maintenance Division, submitted
his eighth suggestion and received
his fifth cash award. He was
awarded $40 for suggesting the de-
sign and use of racks which will
provide storage, work space and
easy access for T33 and M33 cleo
tronic chassis. The chassis are very
expensive and improper storage
could result in severe and eXpen-
Sive damage. One rack accommo-
dates 80 units.
Max L. Nicely, depot maintenance
division, submitted his second Sug-
geStion, and received $40. His Sug-
geStion concerened the replace
ment of the ram on the COMM
crimping machine which results in
improved and safe methods of ad-
justing the machine for different
sized cases. Previously a crescent
wrench and hand crank were re-
quired to adjust the machine.
Edward j. GOldbach, depot main
tenance division, received $50 for
his first suggestion. He suggested
the design of test block that can
be used in any electronics rebuild
or repair shop where it is necessary
to rebuild or overhaul computer
zero set switches. Previously, there
has been no established procedure
for making settings and checks. 1t
has been accomplished by trial and
error methods which required up
to four hours for proper adjust
ment.
The awards were presented by
Col. John M. Phillips, commanding
officer of Erie Ordnance Depot,
with the immediate supervisors
present.
