Ideas Studied
For Changes
In Labor Law
By the Associated Press

A special labor-management
committee from the construction
industry set out today to draft
suggestions for President Eisen-
hover for changing the Taft
Hartley labor relations law as it
applies to the industry.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
called the group together as he
had promised during the recent
political campaign.
1t was expected the discussions
would deal primarily with pro-
lpoSals to enact special hiring
provisions in the building and
construction field. Mr.. Eisen-
Ilower previously has proposed
that Congress allow employers
and unions in the industry to
enter into contracts for prehiring
and special union shop arrange
ments.
Part Of "OverhauI''
Any administration proposals
for changing the labor law to
accommodate the construction
industry are likely to be part Of
the general overhaul" of Taft
Hartley provisions promised in
the Republican Party platform.
These may closely parallel what
mr.. Eisenhower has proposed to
Congress in the past.
These fully satisfied neither
labor unions nor management
groups. They got nowhere in
Congress, a fate that could hap
Ipen again in the new Congress
starting next January.
Names Of Members
The construction industry ad-
Ivisory committee converting to-
day includes three members rep
Iresenting organized labor and
three representing management.
Those representing the unions
are presidents Maurice Hutche-
son Of the Carpenters Union,
Peter Schoemann of the Plumb

Renato Perego Of Turin, Italy.
said hotels in his country have
little business from conventions
and business meetings.
1T is practically all tourist

ference is that the italian peo-
pie do not patronize hotel restau-
rants like they do here. If they
go out to eat they go to a restau-
rant, not a hotel"

Mauricio Ruiz Gallndo Of
Mexico City revealed that the
big news about hotels in his
country is that business is
booming.
There are four big new hotels

Mr.. Galindo said there is little
difference in hotel operation in
his country.
THE same general methods
are used" he said. "You have
to provide comfort and service
everywhere in hotels"

The meeting, the first to be

under way last night with a re-

ment and District officials were
on hand to welcome the hotel
men to Washington.

the hotelmen at the Mayfiower,
said American hotels are models
Of efficiency.

"Your telephone service is
wonderful" he said, "all service

perhaps are more luxurious, but
we still take life a little easier

The Rover BOYS
Speak Softly

Khrushchev and Bulganin were
trying hard last week to change the
Vests mood. Their success in
Great Britain apparently was not
great. In the uncommitted areas.
however, the reaction may have
been more favorable.
To keep perspective. it was neces-
sary to remember, for instance, that
Khrushchev, who last week pro-
claimed In London that the "only
way out" for the world is to give
UP war" had. as boss of the all
powerful Communist Party OF the
Soviet Union. Just approved sharp
increases in Soviet spending on
ornaments In the last year. There
was at least IL per cent rise in
Soviet military expenditures in
1855. Moreover. real wages were
not permitted to keep pace with
productivity increases--so that the
actual increase in military outlay
was something more than IL per
cent.
Mr.. Khrushchev's reputation for
veracity has never been very good,
OF course. In l949, for instance. he
wrote that "All the peoples in our
country. with feelings Of exceeding
tenA~xnesS and nlial love. call great

To the People -.

President Eisenhower, in vetoing
the bill, took his case to the people
via television. Going to the people
with the facts" was a technique
he had used previously with success.
In March. 1854. he made special
broadcast to urge the people to
write their congressman to fight
Democratic tax-cut plan-and the
plan died.
Last Monday. the President told
the people that it would have been
impossible for him to sign the bill
1t was bad BILL" he said.
The effect of its provisions. he
declared, would be to increase the
amount of Government control anu
further add to our depressing
SURPRISES"
The most Objectionable feature
OF the bill, from the Presidents
point of view, was resumption of
80 per cent of parity supports.
Ninety per cent supports means a
guarantee of nine-tenths of fair"
price for farmers, parity being the
measure Of fair farm income in
relation to the prices a farmer pays.
Support at 80 per cent. Mr.. Eisen-
hover said, would stimulate produc-
ton. He added that the rigid sup
port formula did not prevent prices
from falling as postwar surplus
stocks began to accumulate"

Sowing the Farm Vote

The American farmer, who
must each year contend with
blight of some sort, it seems. has
begun to face up to a quadrennial
affection that is visited upon him
with the same relentless regular

AS has happened so often before,
what started out in January as an
honest attempt to help depressed
farmers developed into a frenetic
contest among politicians for the
farmers vote.
The farmers, Of course, will bear
the brunt of the suffering caused
by this approach to their economic
difficulties. but they will not be
alone. The farm problem. now the
biggest domestic political issue,
will certainly be felt at the polls
In November. This expectation has
the strongest kind Of bipartisan
support And adherents Of both
parties expect the Republicans to

peaceful co-existence theme:

The Guard Stoys Up
All these friendly gestures and

West to lose its balance. Sporadic

signs that real peace in the Middle

Democratic Reply

These conclusions the Democrats
Immediately challenged. In the
first place, they said, the flexible
supports at lower levels put into
effect by Mr.. Eisenhower's admin
istration increased production
rather than reduced it. They
pointed to grain sorghums, which
went up in production 173 per cent
when supports dropped "a per cent;
rye. which climbed rs per cent as
supports dropped II per cent: soy
beans. price supports down 20 per
cent and production up 80 per cent,
and milk, which they said went up
9 per cent in output as supports
fell by II per cent.
Mr.. Eisenhower's contention that
high supports do not prevent price
drops also brought the Democrats
running with fistfuls of figures. Be-
tween october. 1852. and October.
1855. they argued. the average price
declines on commodities having
flexible price supports were down
81 per cent. while those that were
supported at 90 per cent dropped
only IL per cent.

Short-term prospects for peace
in the troubled Middle East bright
ened early last week. That was
just in time to take some of the
pressure off Soviet Premier Nikolai
A. Bulganin and Communist Party
Boss Nikita S. Khushchev, who ar
rived in Great Britain on Wednes-
day to break new ground for their
spectacular global peace offensive.
A fortnight of quiet mediation
by United Nations Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold was re-
warded by new cease-flre between
Egypt and Israel, effective Wednes-
day at s pm. 1t was the Jump
teenth nobody has counted) cease
fire since the formal armiStice sew
en- years ago. but this one had a
slightly more convincing ring than
most.
Mr.. Hammarskjold will now set
about consolidating the truce. He
hopes to get all the Arab powers
and Israel to join in pulling back
from their borders far enough SO
that their small-armS fire cannot
reach each other. Most Of the
tensions have been caused by local
incidents among hostile squads
venturing too close to the UNI
marked borders.
The U. N. officials success was
timed nicely from the Soviet point
Of view. It had not escaped world
notice that the sale of Communist
arms to Egypt late last summer had
heated up the Arab-Israeli conflict
to a dangerous temperature. Great
Britain, which stands to lose the
most from any war in the Middle
East. would hardly have been in a
cordial mood for the Bulganin-
Khrushchev peace line If the Egypt
Israel exchange of reprisals had
continued. Even so, the Britons'
reception Of their Communist guests
was so unenthusiastic that the
Soviet leaders took public notice
Of it.

teed this year $3.50 million more

things were looking up for the rice
growers. Now these farmers will
be told that 1t was Mr.. Eisenhower
not Secretary Benson and GER
tainly not the "black-robed" JUS
tices of the Supreme Court-who
dashed their hopes.
This pocketbook appeal to cotton,
peanut and rice growers is ready
made to the party's needs in the
South. Areas where these crops
are important to local economies
are just the areas where an issue to
divert attention from the Segrega-
ton battle is needed most. This is
especially true of cotton, which is
still king only in the regions where
the flames Of the civil rights contro-
versy burn the hottest. On the
other hand. the farm issue loses
some of its potency when 1t is
carried into tobacco country. To-
bacco farmers are about as content
as farmers can be, with their crop
having been supported at 80 per
cent Of parity all along. But tobacco
is king only in North Carolina. and

perhaps stronger in North Carolina
than In any other State In the

that the pulling power Of the farm
