REPRESENTATIVE
URGES WEEK FOR
FORGIVENESS
BY the Associated Press

A National Forgiveness
Week" was proposed yesterday
by Representative Thompson,
Democrat of Louisiana.
He suggested in a resolution
introduced in the House that
the President issue a procla-
nation designating the week
starting January Is each year
as Forgiveness Week.
The proclamation, he said,
could call on all people to put
aside i'll will and turn their
thoughts to forgiveness and
un d erstanding of others
throughout the entire year.
Mr.. Thompson,s resolution
would have the week estab-
lished in memory of the late
Mrs. P. w. MCGEE of Deridder,
La, who died last January rs
her Goth birthday. Mrs. Nc
Gee, Mr.. Thompson said, was
an active church and COM

resolution should take.
The Senate 1s....nittee will
continue to cross-examine Sec
rotary of State Dulles when II
resumes hearings Wednesday OF
Thursday.
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
ranking Republican on foreign
relations, termed the Soviet-Red
Chinese declaration a foolish
statement" and predicted 1t
would hasten approval Of the
Eisenhower program.
But Senator Erwin, Democrat
of North Carolina. a joint COM

the Eisenhower resolution be-
cause, he said, it ignores Is
European nations that have a
much greater interest in the oil
supplies of the Middle East than
does the United States.
"Yet they are not to be called
on to contribute men or money"
said Senator Erwin.
Mansfield Statement
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
of Montana, said the Russian
Red Chinese pronouncement
could have been anticipated. He
said the Kremlin and the Chi
nese Reds appear to be worried
about the Eisenhower resolution,
and this looks like "a counter
offensive and their way of giving
moral support to countries in
the Middle East that may not be
for the Eisenhower doctrine"
Representative Gordon said
the Soviet-Chinese Communist
declaration is that most clear
cut evidence Congress has yet
received Of the urgent need for
passing the administration reso-
luton.
He said that the Communist
pronouncement makes it per-
fectly clear that the Commu-
nists regard it tthe Eisenhower
proposaD as a major block to
their policy of encroachment in
the Middle East. They do not
regard the proposed policy
lightly"
Mr.. Gordon said the degree

which the policy strikes their
aggressive plans where it hurts. T"

unions operating in compliance
with the law"
Mr.. Mitchell, along with wit
nesses from the National Labor
Relations Board and Internal
Revenue Service, said that under
present law the Government has
no authority to question union
financial reports filed with, the
Labor Department.
The testimony brought out
that many unions have filed
financial statements but the
Government never checks them
and they are kept from the
public.
On the latter point, Mr.. Nit
chell said it has been considered
all along that Congress con-
tended the union financial re-
ports to be kept secret. He
added that these matters are be-
ing considered now in the draft
ing Of proposed amendments to
the Taft-Hartley labor relations
law soon to be sent to Congress
by the Eisenhower administra-
ton.

groomed. said he had no inten-
ton Of complying with a COM
mittee subpoena to produce
union records and financial
statements. He said the sub
poena was $50 broad and sweep
ing as to constitute illegal search
and seizure"
His contention in refusing to
answer questions, like that of
Transfers Vice President Einar
o. Mohn on Friday, was that
the Senators had no legal right
to question him because the in
vestigation was outside the juris-
diction outlined by the Senate
for the committee.
"Willful Contempt" Seen
The Senators hold they have
"clear" authority since the hear
ing involves allegedly false re-
ports to Government agencies
by unions, possible income tax
evasion and other like matters.
Just before the hearing was
recessed, Senator Mcclellan said
there has definitely been
willful contempt committed by
some witnesses" He did not
name them. but instructed his
staff to go over the hearing
record and prepare contempt
citations. Such citations must
be approved by the entire Senate
before going to the Justice De-
partment for prosecution.
Senator Mcclellan said the
vast majority of labor union
officials are honest and honor
able, and he felt the investiga-
ton would strengthen organized
labor in the end. He added he
