By the Associated Press

The House debates today
whether to make an exception
of three synthetic rubber plants
out of the "a Government facili-
ties whose sale to private inter-
ests it approved indirectly
yesterday.
A move by Representative Pat
man, Democrat, of Texas to
block the prospective sale of the
"a plants for an aggregate price
of $310.5 million was defeated
on a 283-132 rollcall.
That left pending a special
resolution by Representative

to disapprove selling three of the
plants, all in California, as a
$50 million package deal" to
the Shell Chemical Corp.
All the sales will be consum-
mated Friday unless either house
of Congress disapproves. The
Senate still has to act on reso-
luton by Senator Morse. Demo-
crat, of Oregon to veto all the

strength. We must not allow
such doubt on the part of
either our friends and allies or
any possible aggressor.
Others who testified or sub
mitted statements in support of
the legislation included Maj.
Gen Lewis B. Hershey. director
of Selective Service; Gen. Ma
than F. Twining, Air Force Chief
of Staff; David S. Smith. Assist
ant Secretary of the Air Force
for manpower, and the Chamber
of Commerce of the United
States.
Gen. Hershey testified that ex-
tension of the draft was required
not only to maintain the armed
services at their planned
strength during the next four
years but also "to insure that the
obligation to serve is shared
equally by all the young men in
the Nation"
Since 1850, Gen. Hershey tes-
titled. the Selective Service sys-
tenn has furnished about 2 mil
lion men to help maintain an
armed force strength in excess
of 3 million men.
Mr.. Burgess, in his testimony,
emphasized these points to be
considered in extending the
draft:
/. The age at which induction
may take place should not be
lowered from the present 35
years.
2. Continuation of the present
two-year period of service for in
ductees is necessary as an incen-
tive for voluntary enlistments in
the Navy and Air Force for a
minimum of four years, in the
Marine Corps for three years,
and in the Army for two years.
3. Loss of induction authority
would seriously affect" the
ROTC program.
The proposed draft extension
also would extend until July l..
1859. the Dependents Assistant
Act. designed to relieve financial
hardship in the families of those
called into service.
Under this act men called into
service may make allotments to
their families and receive for
their families an additional
amount of compensation.

Cease-Fire Outcome
Waited by Leaders
I0f Commonwealth
BY tn. A..oeia..d Pres.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-The COM
monwealth prime ministers were
reported to have decided today
to hold off independent efforts
to bring about a China cease-f1re
pending the outcome of action
by the United Nations Security
Council to this end.
The Security Council voted in
New York yesterday to- invite
Red China to join in talks aimed
at hating the fighting in the
Formosa area.
Expect Reds to Accept Bid.
Diplomatic informants said
the commonwealth prime min
listers now expect Red China to
accept the U. N. bid. But most
of the leaders in conference here
were said to be pessimistic about
the prospects Of success. Their
fear is that the New York talks
will bog down in a battle of
words. They were reported
agreed that Chang Kai-shek
should surrender Quemoy and
the Tachen and Matsu offshore
islands as part Of a deal for a
ceaSe-fire.
Informants said India's Prime
Minister Nehru, leader Of the
Asian neutralists. has told his
commonwealth colleagues that
he stands ready to use his in
luence with Peiping to try to
bring about a cease -fire-but
only when the time is ripe.
Mr.. Nehru apparently will wait
until Peiping makes it's stand
clearer in the Security Council
if it accepts the invitation.
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden earlier urged MI.
Nehru to go to work immedi-
ately on behalf of the U. N.-spon-
sored truce bid.
Defense Needs Discussed.
The Formosa situation domi-
mated the agenda as the Prime
Ministers went into the second
day of their parley. But late in
the morning session. Prime Min
lister Churchill began detailed
discussion of East-West relations
and Western defense needs in
Europe, the Middle East and
Southeast Asia.
The conferees represent SIS
million persons of the British
commonwealth. Present with
Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Nehru
were Louis st. Laurent of Can
ada, Robert G. Menzies of Aus
tralia, Sidney G. Holland of New
Zealand, Mohammed Ali of PAX
istan, Sir John Kotelawla of Cey-
lon, Sir Godfrey Higgins of the
Central African Federation and

Action on Humphrey
Formosa Resolution
By J. A. O'Leoy

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee voted today to post
pone action on the Humphrey
resolution to put the Senate on
record in favor of U. N. efforts to
arrange a cease-fire in the For
moSa area.
The postponement came after
a lengthy discussion in closed
session indicated a sharp divi-
sion over the resolution in its
present form.
Senate Republican leader
Knowland, of California. said the
consensus was that unless the
resolution is changed consider
ably, amendments might be Of
fered in committee or on the
floor.
Notes Appeasement Charge.
Senator Knowland said that
in view of the overwhelming
Senate vote Friday in support of
the defense of Formosa, and the
fact that the U. N. already has
started cease-fire negotiations,
he thought it best the Senate
stand on that action for a
while"
The Californian said some
Senators want to make sure the
resolution, sponsored by Senator
Humphrey. Democrat, OF Mime
sofa, would not be a blank 'in-
dorsement of appeasement." He
said amendments might be sug-
gested to reaffirm this country's
opposition to admitting Red
China to the U. NJ, or to giving
up the Nationalist-held islands
of Quemoy and Matsu.'
Senator Humphrey promptly
denied that his resolution i'm
piled a desire for appeasement.
Suggests Lack Of Confidence" "
These cease-fire negotiations
are in the hands of the Govern
ment, and I have had mo evi-
dence that this administration
wants appeasement," said Sena-
tor Humphrey. "The failure Of
the committee to act suggests a
lack of confidence in the admin
istration."
Senator Humphrey said that
since the Senate made it clear
last Friday what steps it would
take to defend Formosa. it should
make equally clear that I'VE
will seek an honorable peace"
IT have enough confidence in
the President and Secretary OF
State to believe they will seek
such a peace" Senator Hum

Higher Wages in IS.
Fewer Jobs Forecast
By AFL Economists
Bv the Associotad Press

pv tUo NsSSStGI9u E'SsS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. l.
Higher wages but fewer Jobs Is
the forecast for 1855 received by
AFL leaders today as they
opened top-level winter meet
ings.
The AFL Executive Council,
17-member policy-making group
of the big labor organization,
studied a report prepared by
AFL economists predicting that
unions will win substantial wage
boosts this year.
The report. at the same time,
expressed fear that unemploy-
ment will average about 4 mil
lion throughout the year, or a
million higher than the 3 million
jobless average of 1854.
An above-normal increase
among the available workers,
partly due to scheduled reduc-
tions in the military forces. plus
new productive efflciences, were
blamed for the expected increase
in the number of unemployed.
The ALF council was expected
to indorse several steps designed
to bolster the economy and help
reduce unemployment. One
favorite AFL antidote is higher
exemptions to reduce income tax
payments among wage earners.
Another is to increase the pres
ent rs cents an hour Federal
minimum wage.
Seeks $1.25 Minimum.
President Eisenhower recently
asked Congress to boost the mini
mum wage to 80 cents an hour
and include many workers now
exempt. The AFL, while welcom-
ing President Eisenhower's pro-
posal. has been on record for
a SIPS minimum.
The council also was expected
to draft several other proposals
for legislation in Congress. It
was due to study new safeguards
for union welfare funds and to
prepare for further merger talks
here next week with the rival
CIO.
The 1855 economic outlook put
before the council said that wage
increases, which it claims unions
will seek and get in 1855, will
help buoy consumer purchasing
power.
Not Enough Rise.
"The net result" the report
said. will mean a rise in con-
sumer expenditures. However,
under present prospects, the in
crease will fall far short of the
amount necessary to develop a
high employment economy SIM
liar to 1853"
The report said Government
expenditures and business out
lays for new plants and equip
ment are expected to decline,
and the work force may expand
by 100000 as more young men
are released from the armed
services.
I'm addition" the report said,
"the increase in productivity is
likely to be above average. The
recession has stimulated intro
duction Of labor saving equip
ment and more efficient produc-
tion methods.
