BY the Associated Press

Representative Dent, Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, contends
the public has been miSin-
formed about the qualifications
of Representative Powell, Dem
ocrat Of New York, to be
chairman Of the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee.
In a statement published in
the Congressional Record yes
terday, Mr.. Dent said Mr..
Powell has always supported
legislation that would do the
greatest good for the greatest
number of our citizens.
Mr.. Powell, a Negro minis
ter, would be the senior Demo-
crat on the committee If he
wins reelection this year.
Representative Barden, Dem
ocrat of North Carolina, the
committee chairman, has an
nounced he will retire from
Congress when his term ex-
pires in January. This would
make Mr.. Powell committee
chairman--if Democrats re-
tain control Of the House this
November and seniority rules
are followed.
Mr.. Dent said Mr.. Powell is
qualified to serve as commit
tee chairman in his own right.
During last years battle over
a labor reform bill, Mr.. Dent
said, Mr.. Powell never deviated
from what he believed to be
the proper and honorable
course to follow. He was
a stalwart in the fight for the
rights Of the little peoples"

President Eisenhower made
it clear today he is opposed to
the Federal Government en-
barking on a program of paying
the salaries of teachers, or any
other local officials.
When asked at his news con-
ference if he would like to see
the House scale down the SEN
ate's two-year $l.8 billion edu-
cation bill, Mr.. Eisenhower
said:
III go further than that
don't believe the Federal Gov
ernment ought to be paying the
salaries of local officials"
He said if the Federal Gov
ernment enters that area it
would have to concern itself
with the salaries of councilmen
and other city employees.
The Senate education bill au-
thorized Federal aid for both
teachers salaries and class
room construction.
Leaders in the House have
indicated the Senate bill will
be rewritten to eliminate teach
erS' salaries and reduce the
amount appropriated for build
ingS.
The President also denied
that his farm message to Con-
greSs this week was reshaped
by Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he asked
Mr.. Nixon to read the message
because in the next few months
the Vice President will be con-
cerned with spelling out the
best way to approach the farm
problem.
The President abviously was
referring to Mr.. Nixon's role

seasonal dip in the soft goods
industries and the contraction
of outdoor work.
The total of 64,020,000 en-
ployed includes Alaska and Ha-
waii in the national labor sta
tistics for the first time.
Except for this, the total of
employed would have been
266,000 lower, said Seymour
Wolfbein, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Labor.
A prediction that the i'm
provement in employment will
be "a little better than sea-
sonal" during the spring was
given reporters by Mr.. Wolf
bien.
He said unemployment may
drop to 3.5 million by June, be-
fore students leave high schools
and colleges and begin job
hunting.
Because of continued hiring
in autos and other durable
goods industries, the decline in
employment in manufacturing
was only $4,000 for the month,
about half the expected sea-
sonal dip.
The work week in manufac-
turing was shortened by one
tenth hour and now stands at
40.4 hours a week, Mr.. Wolf
bein said.
For the first time, average
earnings in the durable goods
industries rose above $100 a
week. The average was $100.94,
but earnings in the nondurable
goods were about 500 lower so
that the average for all in
dustry was $92.52, a rise of SO

Mr.. Eisenhower declined at
his news conference to assess
the effect the American-pro-
posed moratorium would have
on nuclear weapons develop
ment in the United States or
the Soviet Union.
He said the proposal must be
studied and discussed first and
that the United States would

are raised.
Extends Earlier Proposal
In effect, the new United
States plan extends its earlier
f1rst-phase proposal for a nu-
clear test ban to include the
larger underground tests. Last
April the President proposed
banning only above ground and
underwater nuclear explosions
American officials were not
ready to accept Ambassador
Tsarapkin's reported objection
as final. But if the final an
swer is still no, officials here
were ready to conclude that
possibilities for a test ban
would be exhausted, although
they feel it would be useful to
continue talking.
The threshold" plan would,
of course. drastically reduce the
the number of on-site inspec-
tions necessary to police the
partial ban. The number might
approach the few" Soviet
Premier Khrushchev said he
would be willing to allow inside

The housewives were shut

any Of the six concerns were
struck.
UniOnist Protests
This drew the wrath of AL
Gray, secretary-treasur Of
Local 1893. representing Giant
workers, who did not strike
yesterday. He said he would
flle suit charging a lockout and
seeking restitution for wages
lost by the Giant workers.
Impact of the strike was felt
by an overwhelming circle Of
workers in the food industry.
Mr.. Danzansky estimated
that 5000 employees of the
chain stores were directly af-
fected, and that 5000 to 10000
other persons. including drivers,
p a ckers and warehousemen
would be unemployed.
Chain and independent stores
still operating were doing
everything possible to take up
some of the slack by adding
additional inventories and help.
The striking meat cutters are
demanding across-the-board in
creaseS of 80 cents an hour and
a shorter contract than the "a
package offered to them.
They decided to strike at a
Tuesday night meeting in spite
of recommendations by their
negotiators and officers to &C
cept the proposal which would
raise journeymen butchers
from $92 to $97 Immediately,
and add another 81 for the

a step Backwards he told
reporters.
United States Delegate James
j. Wadsworth was to present
the new plan at today's meet
ing, in an effort to bring the
talks out of their months-old
stalemate.
President Eisenhower declared
the United States is determined
to make all possible progress
toward the ultimate objective
of the negotiations. We believe
that the proposal placed before
the conference today is en-
tered into in good faith by the
parties concerned, will lead
toward eventual prohibition of
all nuclear weapons tests under
the practical and adequate safe
guards that we deem as in
dispensable prerequisites"
The program also would pro-
vide for a joint program of
research and experimentation,
with nuclear and nonneculear
explosives, to extend the ban
to all nuclear tests.
Would Cut FaIIout
The President observed his
new proposal would "allay
worldwide concern over pos
sible increases in levels of ra-
dioactivity. More Importantly. {"
he added, lit will greatly en-
hance the prospects for future

OF assuring essential food in
the event the strike is found
to be causing hardships.

Area Food Supply Cut,
But No Shortage Seen

The Washington areas food
supply has been slashed dras-
tically as a result Of the strike
by the meat cutters, but there
Is apparently no immediate
danger Of a shortage.
Because stores in six major
food chains are now closed here
thousands and thousands of
pounds of groceries destined for
local warehouses have been
diverted to other cities.
And the chains are already
cutting back and canceling or
ders IN order to prevent an
enormous glut of food which
they cannot sell in this area.
Independent stores in the !
area are not affected by the |
strike. They moved early today
to put on more clerks and get
in extra supplies of literally |
everything from soup to nuts. |
Henry Noon. president of Dis
trict Grocery Stores, which has
about 200 branches in the area,
opened the warehouse at
Fourth and C street S.W. at q
am. today, two hours earlier |
than usual. He said he expects |
business to about double in
DGS stores.
Asking Heavy Deliveries
Gall our stores are asking !
for heavy deliveries" he said.
I'VE are doing everything we
can to meet the need"
Mr.. Noon said many of his
branches are putting on extra
clerks. He said there seemed
to be an unusual number of
applicants for the emergency
jobs, indicating that perhaps
some of the retail clerks honor
ing the meat cutters picket |
lines are seeking temporary |
work.
Large stores like the Coop
markets were swamped today,
especially those in the shopping
centerS near the struck super
markets. The Coop Market at
8547 Piney Branch road, Silver
Spring. for example, was in
vaded by about four times its
usual number of customers.
Housewives were swapping up
packages Of meat as fast as
they were dropped into the
bins.
Warns Against Panic
Managers of the independent
stores urged housewives not to
buy more than they need, point
ing out that adequate supplies
were available and that panic
buying would only make the
situation more difficult.
Specially grocery stores also
reported heavy buying, most of
them reporting at least so per
cent increase in business.
Louis Robbins, manager of
Center Market City at Fifth ,
and K streets NV, said busi-
ness at the 100 independent
stands there was double or
more. The same increases were
reported by spokesman for the
Magruder's stores at 1888 Con-
