Held Unlikely This
Session, However
BY GRACE BASSETT
star star writer

Representative Multer. DEM.
ccrat Of New York. today fled
q new petition to force . House
vote on District home rule. but
predicted the House could not
act this session.
"We1l get mighty close to Q
majority Of the House member
ship behind the petition before
Congress adjourns," he said. 81
don't think we can get action
until next January. however"
Mr.. Multer's discharge" petit
ton would free o bill. making
the District Q territory, from
the House District Committee.
It allows two days Of debate
on the bill itself. District Com
mittee Chairman Mcmillan.
Democrat Of South Carolina,
could offer o complete SUBJ
stitute, which could be debated
four hours.
First Petition Attacked
Today's petition replaces an
original petition filed by Mr..
Multer limiting debate to one
hour. It was attacked by home
rule opponents. including Mr..
Mcmillan, Is o gag"
II believe our new petition Is
the most liberal ever placed on
the speakers desk" Mr.. Multer
said. "In my opinion. it OBJ
viates the objections raised by
opponents. Those objections
were simply other attempts to
prevent consideration by the
House Of any home rule BILL"
The New Yorker. one Of so
Congressman fro mhoth parties
who have formed q steering
group for home rule. said he
had urged opponents to come
forward with q compromise
suggestion for home rule con-
sideration.
"As ] anticipated. they have
not done so. So, we ourselves
drafted language to overcome
any possible objection"
Expects GO to Sign
Mr.. Multer said he expected
the Sc Congressman who signed
the first petition to afiix their
signatures to the second before
the end Of the day.
District Subcommittee Chair
man Davis, Democrat Of
Georgia, who has been con-
Quoting hearings on 20 home
rule bills for four weeks, said
he saw no need to comment
on the petition.
Committeeman, attacked by
home rule champions for ''stall-
Ing" wound up another hear

2ls Needed
One more than half the total
number Of House members, or
2l9, must sign q petition before
Q bill may come to Q vote in
the House despite q. commit
tees refusal to report it.
At yesterdays hearing, Conn
missioner Robert e. Mclaughlin
argued the workability Of the
territorial bill against congenial
but firm opposition Of subcom.

neither the union nor the in
dustry has a monopoly on vir-
tue. and that both should yield
to achieve a prompt compro.
mise settlement Of the strike.
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
refused to draw any conclusions
from the statistics he released
at a press conference yesterday.
He merely scolded the United
Steelworkers Of America and
the companies for failing to
negotiate hard enough.
Steel Leads Advances
Figures In the report show
that wages and prices in the
steel industry have been rising
faster than in most Of the rest
Of the economy. Steel has been
o major target Of imitation
fighters.
In the absence Of official In
depreciation. it appeared that
the Secretary's purpose in re-
leasing the report is to build
up public pressure for ending
the strike.
The statistics he gathered as
President Eisenhower's fact
finder could lead to the con-
clusion that both labor and
management in steel have over
stated their eases. Mr.. Mitchell
apparently hopes public opinion
viii decide that justice lies
somewhere in the middle
ground between management's
proposal Of q wage freeze and
the unions demand for o 15-
cent hourly wage increase.
Each Offsets Other
Charts and statistics in the
Secretary's handbook seem to
demonstrate that the picture
is neither black nor white. Sets
Of figures on wages, prices.
productivity and profits tend to
offset each other, at least in
part.
There are no conclusions
drawn in this booklet" Mr..
Mitchell said, adding:
1.-THE responsibility for q
settlement of the strike rests
upon management and labor
in the industry. This pres
entation (of background sta
tistics) may serve to indicate
the area which exists for q
settlement in which the pub
lies interest is taken fully into
account"
Mr.. Eisenhower has refused
to intervene in the strike di-
rectly. Publication Of the re.
suits Of Mr.. Mitchell's fact
finding may serve to ease pres
sure by Democrats for such
Intervention.
Public Pressure Urged
Picking up the theme Of COM
promise. Senator Javits, Re-
publican Of New York, com.
mented that "this report bears
out the fact that there is room
for give on the part Of both
management and labor in this
dispute. It arms the public with
sufficient facts to bring its in

Chicago tANpl With the
major league baseball season near

a good time TO analyEe some Of the
trades this season involving tan
players
Therc we're perhaps more chaps
es OF scenery for tan players this
year than al any time since Jackie
Robinson entered the majors in

Perhaps the most controversial
was that involving Hector Lopez
who was dealt 10 the New York
Yankees by the Kansas city Ath-
letics. The trade set up howl
among some Of the other AL own
srs The swap included five play
ers, three going from the Yanks
10 the Athletics. A pitcher was
sent along with Lopez TO New
York

the Yanks seemed to have scored
