We're going to need new

And that means products that

RICHMOND. Va, July II
(R.-The Chesapeake e. Poto-

today asked the State Corpora
ton Commission for higher
rates which would average
about 81 cents more a month
for users.
The company said present
rates are mo longer reason

ating costs, customer demand
for more direct dialing, and the
tight money markets make the
new rates necessary, Cap said.
The company's proposal in
cluded a major repricing and

included a series of changes for
long distance calls.
It's the sixth time since

Eisenhower Sees
No Vocation Delay

President Eisenhower indi.
Gated today that a possible
Senate f1libuster on the civil
rights bill would not delay his
planned vacation at the New
port r. l.. Naval Base.
Referring to plans of House
leaders to recess when they
pass some must" legislation.
even though the Senate still
is tied up on civil rights, the
President said at a news con-
ference that If the House
recesses there would be no
reason why he should not go
TO Newport.
He remarked that Newport
is just an hour and a half
away by plane and he would
have advantage there OF the
naval communications system
and could keep in constant
touch with Developments.

sponsor of an amendment to
limit the program authorize
ton to one year.
President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles have
urged this foreign economic
development arrangement. The
Senate approved it last month
in passing the foreign aid
authorization of $3,617,333, 900.
which the House Foreign AZ
fairs Committee trimmed to
$3.242,333,0 900. The President
requested $3,864,410,00O.
Ask Cut in Outlay
Some opponents of the bill
planned to present amend
ments today to cut the total
still more. They cited unoffi-
cial reports that the House APP
preparations Committee prob
ably will limit the eventua.
money bill to about SO billion.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee was meeting today
on that bill.
Two other amendments are
urged by Representative
Porter. Democrat of Oregon.
One would prohibit direct aid
to any Latin American country
which the State Department
determines to be a dictator
ship" The other would give
Argentina and Colombia a
priority in the $500 million De-
velopment Loan Fund.
Mr.. Porter said these nations
have recently overthrown
their relationships and are
trying. in the face of economic
chaos caused by the dictators,
to establish democratic govern
nnents

was a mingling of his own and
union funds Ito a slight de-
gree" But he testified that
he still has $4,000 of the fund
in cash lin my possession" and
that $500 of ID was paid out
for organizing work in the
Los Angeles area for which
there is an itemized statement.
The remainder. the witness
said, was for organizing ex-
penses in other places.
Cross said the arrangement
was the first and only one of
this kind made by the union
and was to enable him to draw
on the money on his own sigma
ture while travelling.
George Kopecky. assistant
counsel of the committee. tes-
titled that a comparison of the
contract with the Zion Indus
tries showed that it docs not
compare favorably with SINH
lar union contracts in the Chi
cago area as far as pay and
fringe benefits are concerned. J."
Mr.. Kopecky submitted affl-
davits signed by 81 employees of
the Zion firm calling the con-
tract "a poor one" and saying
it was forced on them"
The company is operated by
Martin M. Philipsborn, jr..
from whose father Cross has
testified he had borrowed
approximately 100000 over a
period Of years.
Cross testified that the loan
had no bearing on the contract
with the Zion company. He
submitted to the committee a
survey which he said showed
that the contract compared
favorably with those for SINH
lar plants. The union president
charged that Mr.. Kopecky had
made an unfair comparison
by comparing bread and cake
of bakeries and small shops
against a contract for what he
called a biscuit and candy firm.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-17

But the pace picked up because
of withdrawal of the most con-
troversial of the suggested
changes, the so-called Bow pro-
vision against foreign court
trials of American servicemen.
Such an amendment still may
be offered when the House takes
up the appropriation bill to
provide money within the lin
its authorized in the present
bill. Representative Bow, Re-
publican of Ohio. told the
House yesterday he might fol-
low that course. He explained
that the amendment, unless
watered down, prob
ably would be ruled out of
order as not germane to the
authorization bill.
Seek Pact RevisiOnS
A few other members said
they were considering trying to
the bill today by requir-
ing the President to seek revi-
sion of status of forces agree
ments which provide foreign
court Jurisdiction over some
offenses committed by Ameri-
can servicemen abroad. The
amendment probably would
contain a ban on foreign aid
funds for countries demanding
such jurisdiction.
Most of the opposition in two
days of general debate that
ended late yesterday centered
on the new provision for a De-
velopment Loan Fund. This is
a three-year plan for loans of
$500 million a year to assist
friendly countries in long
range economic projects.

the way the 1880 was handled
and said it enabled him to draw
checks on the account for Or
ganizational work in California.
He admitted. however. that he
was mot sure" members of the
unions executive board fully
understood that the money was
deposited in an account con-
tanning some of his own funds.
Lie Test Challenge
The witness testified as he
faced the challenge to take a
lie detector test regarding a
brawl in a San Francisco hotel
last october before the unions
convention which elected him
to a five-year term in Office.
The lie detector test was pro-
posed yesterday by attorney
Max Goldstone, representing
Mrs. Nathan Enrich. a Bronx
tN.Y) housewife who testified
that she was kicked and her
husband slugged when Cross
and others burst into their
room.
Cross denied the story fatty
and claimed that he was in his
hotel room taking a shower at
the time of the incident. Mr..
Enrich was a union member
opposing the reelection of
Cross.
The question of a lie detec-
tor test was passed over as the
committee, headed by Senator
Mcclellan. Democrat of Arkan-
sas, devoted a morning session
to the $500 fund and the cir
cumStances of a contract nego-
tiated by the union with Zion
Industries. a bakery and candy
firm in Zion, III.

tioning by committee counsel
