Ives Hopeful
On Labor Bill
Predicts Passage
OF Moderate Plan
BY LEE Nj. COIN
Star Stan Writer

Senator Ives predicted today
the Senate Labor Subcommit-
tee will approve a moderate"
union reform bill - stronger
than labor leaders want, but
not as tough as President Eli
senhower proposes.
The New York Republican
told reporters he is very opti-
mistic" about chances the sub
committee will beat back at
tempts to write extreme"
curbs on unions into the bill.
But, he added. he Is not as
sure about pushing a sound bill
through the Senate and House.
Labor Secretary Mitchell
closed the three-week series Of
hearings today by urging the
subcommittee to approve the
a d ADMINISTRATION measure
promptly. The country is
aroused" by disclosures of
union corruption, he said.
Penalties in Bill
But Senator Ives listed sew
eral administration recon-
mendations for likely rejection
by the subcommittee. He said
he opposes Furnishing an en-
tire union for misdeeds by its
officers. President Eisenhower'S
bill would revoke income tax
exemptions of offending unions
and deny them access to the
National Labor Relations
Board.
Senator Ives, ranking Repub-
lican on the full Labor Com
mittee, also said he doubts the

ALGIERs. May 20 R.-
What amounts to q revolu-
tionary government for Algeria
was set UP today in defiance Of
Paris. 1t was established by q
civilian-military junta set UP
here last week.
Calling itself the All-Algeria
Committee Of Public Safety.
the new group demanded re-
turn Of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
TO the helm Of the French gov
eminent.
A communique addressed TO
Frenchmen of the world said
their countrymen in Algeria
are firmly resolved to install q
French government Of public
safety presided over by Gen.
de Gaulle to promote and de-
fend the profound reform of the
institutions Of the Republic"
The committee resolved to
stay in Office until Gen. de
Gaulle takes command in
Paris. He has said twice in
the last few days that he is
ready to do so, but he has not
been summoned.
Linked TO MOtherland
The communique expressed
determination to keep this
North African territory tied to
the motherland.
1t called on all Frenchmen-
including those in Madagascar.
French Equatorial Africa, Mar
Unique and all other areas of
French control-to set up SINH
lar committees to support the
return of Gen de Gaulle TO
power.
(This portion Of the commu-
nique was censored from news

committee were signed by Gen.
Raoul Salan, French troop
commander in Algeria.
The committee named two

Gen. Massu's leading role on
the committee was a sign that
Gen. Salan would continue to
be the supreme authority, at
least in name. Mr.. Pfiimlin or
dered Gen. Salan to exercise the
French governments authority
in Algeria, but it has never
become clear whether he is
