House and Senate conferees
were digging in today for what
promises to be a rough battle
over so-called tough" VS.. mid
dle-of-the-road" labor reform
legislation.
The conference committee
probably will begin meeting
next week in an effort to recon-
cile the relatively stringent
House bill, passed overwhelm-
ingly yesterday, and the much
milder Senate bill passed last
April.
Speaker Rayburn appointed
the House conferees yesterday,
and weighted the list heavily in
favor of the strict Landrum-
Griffin bill. Senate conferees
probably will be appointed
Monday and will favor the less
restrictive Kennedy-Ervin bill.
1t is customary for conferees
to represent the prevailing
views of their respective cham
bers. They are supposed to
bargain hard to win conces-
SionS from their opposite num-
bers. Speaker Rayburn respect
ed this tradition in making the
appointments, although he OPP
poses the bill sponsored by
Representatives Landrum. Dem
ocrat of Georgia, and Griffin,
Republican of Michigan.
The COnfereeS
The seven House conferees
are Democratic Representatives
Barden of North Carolina, Per-
kins of Kentucky, Thompson of
New Jersey and Landrum, and
r epublican Representative
Griffin, KearnS Of Pennsylvania
and Ayers of Ohio. OF this
group, only Representatives
Perkins and Thompson opposed
the Landrum- Griffin bill.
Mr.. Barden is chairman of
the House Labor Committee,
If the Senate follows normal
procedure and appoints its
Labor Subcommittee to serve
as confereeS, the lineup would
be Democratic Senators Ken
nedy of Massachusetts,, Morse
of Oregon, Mcnamara of Michi-
gan and Randolph of West Vir-
ginia, and Republican Senators
Goldwater of Arizona, Dirksen
of Illinois and Prouty of Ver-
mont. Senator Kennedy is
chairman of the subcommittee
that drafted the Senate bill,
and co-sponsored that bill with
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina.

But what is possible is that

Washington Notes: One
wonders what new ideas, II
any, Premier Khrushchev
will bring with him to Wash
ington.
The British talked an idea
at Geneva, and there have
been some hints of this in
one or two published reports
from diplomats in the Soviet
bloc and from Mr.. Khrush-
chev himself, although most
vaguely. that a corridor from
West Berlin through East
Germany to West Germany
might be a good idea. Such a
corridor would be under West
German control.
If such a suggestion is in
the Khrushchev bag of tricks,
it will have the attentive ear
of the President. What he
hopes to do is create a cli-
mate which will be favorable
to introduction of new ideas.
The word corridor is not
new to diplomacy. In fact.
they are almost as old as his
tory. Some have worked quite
well. Some very badly. The
most famous one of modern
times was the Polish corridor,
a narrow strip which ex-
tended between Germany and
East Prussia to the Baltic
Sea. 1t endured from 1919
until overrun in the second
great war. In our time the
GAIA Strip is, in a sense, a
corridor between Egypt and
Israel. With the U. N. forces
patrolling it. this corridor is
working effectively as a buff
fer between the enemies.

viets will make any conceS-

President Eisenhower will
send to Congress this week a
plan for the training of troops
of West Germany. the Neither
lands, Greece and Turkey in
the assembly and use of nuclear
warheads for short-range mill
sile warfare.
If Congress permits the plan
to go into effect, European
troops may soon be handling
actual nuclear warheads on
foreign soil. Custody of the
warheads would remain in
American hands, however, as
required by law.
Under the Atomic Energy
Act, the plan for training Eu-
ropeans in nuclear weaponry
must lie before Congress for
60 days before it can go into
effect. If Congress does not
exercise what amounts to veto
power, the plan can then go
into effect.
