FLIES THE SKIES WITHOUT A PILOT
Troops Break
.AIqiers Strike

ALGIERS, Jan. 80 (R.-
French troops appeared today
to have broken the back of a
strike.
The National Liberation Front
calle for an eight-day strike
three days ago to coincide with
a United Nations Assembly de-
bate on the Nationalist rebel
lion. The debate has been post
poned.
rhe strike, clear success in
much of Algeria Monday, began
to fall apart yesterday under
stern French measures which
included forcible opening of
Arab stores and requisitioning
of laborers.
A sympathy strike in neigh
boring Tunisia ended on sched-
ule at noon today. In France,
where North Africans also
struck on Monday. industries
and factories reported Arab
absenteeism ranging from 2 per
cent in Toulouse to 95 per cent
in some small enterprises in
Boulogne-B illancourt.
Public services in Algiers were
functioning at near normal to-
day, but private concerns were
still short of help.
Several thousand laborers
again were taken from the Cas-
bah quarter in military trucks
to their work.

declared: Every plaintiff in
these cases also surrendered his
freedom of action and his right
to work when and where he
pleased"
Distinction Drawn
The attorney distinguished be-
tween job-preference rights and
ordinary benefits such as PEN
sionS by pointing out that the
latter "are provided at the cost
of all citizens in common"
whereas. he said, the formers
burden falls upon one individ-
ual (the non-veterap) only"
Before Judge Mcclure is a
motion to convene a three-judge
constitutional court. But if the
jurist finds there is little sub
stance to the question raised he
can deny the motion.
Mr.. Beruffy said he would
carry the case to the United
States Court Of Appeals if his
motion is denied. Backing the
plaintiffs in the current case is
the National Association of Fed
eral Career Employees.

said Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat of Arkansas.
Senator Mcclellan introduced
the resolution in the Senate yes
terday.
Senators Ives of New York and
Mccarthy of Wisconsin, Repub-
licans. and Senator Hill, Demo-
crat of Alabama, joined with
Senator Mcclellan in offering the
resolution.
1t provides:
THAT there is hereby estab-
lished a select committee which
lis authorized and directed to
conduct an investigation and
study of the extent to which
criminal and other improper
practices or activities are, OF
have been. engaged in the field
Iof labor-management relations
or in groups or organizations OF
employers or employees to the
detriment of the interests of the
public. employers or employees
and to determine whether any
changes are required in the laws
of the United States in order to
protect such interests against
the occurance of such practices
or activities
Mcclellan Probable Head
The resolution would author
ize the Vice President to name
the eight members. 1t was ex-
pected that Senator Mcclellan
would be named chairman.
Senator Mcclellan said he
would expect the Teamsters
union to be high on the select
committees inquiry list. Some
of the top Transfers officials
challenged the Mcclellan inves-
Itigating subcommittee author
Iity and refused to answer ques-
lions at recent hearing.
| The Arkansas Senator said he
would push contempt actor
against the Transfers official;
regardless of what might be done

He said the question was a

he wiuld give it serious consider

Complaints in the case are
eight civilian employees of the
Army and Navy assigned vari-
ously at the Charleston. S. c.
Navy Yard; the Springfield,
Mass. Arsenal, and the Brooklyn

Charge Discrimination
Through Attorney Carl w.

eliminated against them uncon-
stitutionally as nonveterans.
They declared they are faced
with dismissal or demotion in

category.
Under the act, Mr.. Berueffy
explained to the court, veterans
who merely had achieved rat
ing of satisfactory are kept in
their positions in preference to
nonveterans with higher rat
ingS.
This, Mr.. Berueffy contended,
violates "due process" provisions
of the Fifth Amendment.
Land Grants Cited

Donald B. MacGuineas and
David L. Rose commended that
Congress had the right to give
the veterans job preference, just
