Insurance Offer
Eyed for Ex-GIs
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Finance Com
mittee yesterday voted to give
World War II veterans who do
not have National Service Life
Insurance the privilege for one
year of taking it out.
This provision, sponsored by
Senator Long, Democrat of
Louisiana. was added to a House
bill. The reopening of such
rights, which would affect mil
lions of veterans, is opposed by
the Eisenhower administration.
The House measure would set
up a new plan of NSLI for
World War II veterans who
hold term policies.
Under it, they could elect a
plan under which their premi-
ums would not increase each
five years, as they do today,
but at age IS the face value
of the policy would be cut in
half.

Management,
Labor Chart
Peace Effort
BY the Associated Press

Top-level labor-management
met today to decide how toI
begin an effort to work out
mutual problems and reported
I'VE had completely amicable
and reasonable discussion"
The statement was made by
AFL-CIO President George
Meany with the approval of
Rudolph Bannow of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers.
The group met at the sug-
gestion of President Eisen-
hover to lay plans for a series
of talks on industrial peace.
The talks will include efforts
to agree on better industrial re-
lations policies and such ma
tional policies as curbing infla-
ton, increasing output and
spurring economic growth.
:. New Meeting Planned
The group plans another
meeting at the earliest oppor-
tunity. They said, however, this
probably would not be for six
weeks or two months because
of prior commitments by in
dividual conferees.
The joint statement read by
Mr.. Meany described the meet
ing as explanatory" with a
discussion of steps that could
be taken to bring about i'm
proved labor management re-
lationS.
On the surface, at least, the
atmosphere OF the initial meet
ing seemed to hold promise
that some progress might be
made at future sessions.
The history of prior labor
management conference at
tempts has been spotty. Gen
orally they have failed except
under the stress of war.
NAM Picked COnferees
The management represent
atives for the initial planning
conference were designated by
the National Association of
Manufacturers. They are Presi-
dents William J. Grede of the
j. 1. Case Co., a former NAM
president; L. S. Peterson of the
Otis Elevator Co., and Robert
w Stoddard of the Wyman-
Gordon Co.
On the union side, designated
by the AFL-CIO, are Mr..
Meany and AFL-CIO Vice
Presidents Walter Reuther,
head of the United Auto
Workers, and George NJ. Har-
rison, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks.
Rudolph Bannow, NAM presi-
dent, also was to sit in on the
first meeting.

Shea Urges
Comps for
Teen-Aqers

Youth conservation camps
should be created on a regional
basis here to provide jobs for
older teen-age boys who can't
get work, the District public
welfare director said today.
Gerard M. Shea said he felt
the Commissioners Youth
Council should work with lead
ers in Maryland and Virginia
to promote such a program.
He told the youth council it
was imperative that something
be done for teen-age school
dropouts and other youths with
no job skills and bad work
attitudes who are roaming the
streets in the District.
Mr.. Shea noted that regional
cooperation is essential to the
District since land for such
youth conservation camps is
not readily available in the city.
Fred z. HetZel, director of the
District Office of the United
States Employment Service, de-
clared, that an aggressive cam
paign is needed here to change
the attitude on the part of en-
ployers and labor unions toward
hiring less skilled boys"
Mr.. Hetzel said even if q
school dropout could do a job,
employers invariably choose, il
they can get him, the boy who
was captain of the football
team, a class leader, and ar
| outstanding Boy Scout.

Economist Hits Shift
In Transit Accounting

company's attorney, Harvey M.
Spear, on earlier testimony by
Mr.. Limmer.
In his questioning. Mr.. Spear
pointed out that the company's
franchise states that the P. U. c
should encourage the shifting
to a gross operating revenue
base las promptly as possible
and as conditions warrant :"
The witness, an economist for
the Civil Aeronautics Board,
stood fast, however, on his
viewpoint.
At an earlier session, Mr.
Limmer had said that the COM
pany's rate increase request is
not justified. The transit sys-
TEN, he said, can expect a "rea-
sonable return" this year of
nearly $652,000 in net operating
income.
The company is asking that
it be allowed to charge a 25-
cent fare during rush hours
now, and a straight ascent
fare at all hours beginning next
November.

An economist testified today
that the D. C. Transit System
should not be permitted to
change the method of deter
mining its profit return.
The statement was made as
hearings resumed on the COM
pany's application for a scent
fare increase and a change
from a tangible property prof
its base to gross operating
revenues.
The witness, Ezekiel Limmer,
said ''it would never be proper"
for the Public Utilities Com
mission to approve gross oper-
ating revenues as a base for
determining the company's
profit rate of return.
Mr.. Limmer, a witness for
the Friendship Heights Citizens
Association, said it would be
impossible for the P. U. c. to
exercise adequate control of
profits if the gross operating
revenue system was approved.
