THIEF SCATTERS
ODDS AND ENDS,
PUZZLES POLICE

ROCHESTER, N. Y.
(AP).-Vernon Abbott is
confused.
1t was bad enough when
a thief broke into his apart
ment yesterday and took
$35 and a pack Of ciga-
rettes.
What has Mr.. Abbott
and the police shaking
their heads is that the thief
threw black beans in Mr..
Abbott's bed, plugged the
bathroom sink with rub
ber cement, tossed green
herbs about the rooms and
put five marbles in one Of
his ashtrays.

"2. The medical use Of Xrays
should be reduced as much as

In order to get better data

The geneticists, who domi-

Strontium-9O is chiefly of
concern as a danger to people

particularly dangerous outside
the body. because its radiation
is weak enough to be stopped

it is extremely perilous because
it tends to lodge in the bones

Junior Highs
GetLibrarians

District junior high schools
will have Librarians for the first
time this fall.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen an
nounced yesterday that Repre-
sentative Rabaut, Democrat Of
Michigan, has agreed to let the
school system use surplus funds
to hire all librarians. Mr.. Ra-
baut is chairman of the Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee.
DR.. Hansen called the step
gratifying" He had originally
requested the librarians in the
1901 budget. But Mr.. Ra-
baut's group turned down the
item.
Under the agreement, the
schools will hire the librarians
on a temporary basis this COM
ing year. An evaluation report
then will be submitted to Mr..
Rabaut next June.
The surplus funds actually
represent savings in the opera
ton Of the schools last year.
The money can not be used,
however, without congressional
approval.
In his budget for 1862, DR..
Hansen has repeated his re-
quest for junior high librarians.
The estimated cost for II Of
them is $52,250.
With the personnel already
in the schools on a temporary
basis, the chances now seem
excellent that this request will
be approved in the actual
budget. Eventually DR.. Hansen
hopes to have librarians in
each Of the % Junior highs.
The II for next year probably
will serve all buildings on a
half-time basis.
Until now, junior highs have
had libraries and books but no
trained personnel. Elementary
schools have only space for
libraries; they get neither books
nor librarians from the system.

Interest Cost
Burden Cited
BY the Associated Press

An economic research group
estimated yesterday that since
1858 rising interest costs have
imposed an excess burden OF
more than $23 billion.
This includes IS billion on
the Federal budget, more than
half a billion on State and
local budgets and about SIS
billions on the budget of indi-
vidualS and private enterprises,
it said.
The estimate was made for
l953-59, inclusive, contrasting
costs with what they would
have been at 1852 levels.
1t was made by the Con-
ference on Economic Progress
which describes itself as a non

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

"a body including chief officers
of all affiliated unions-will
meet in Chicago August II to
determine strategy for presi-
Dental, congressional and local
campaigns. The board almost
certainly will indorse the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate,
unless Senate Majority Leader
Johnson of Texas wins the
nomination.
Will Attack Rules
Beyond the November elec-
tions, labor leaders have plans
for reaping the benefits Of the
victories they hope to win at
the polls. Congressional rules
often thwart the will of the ma
jority, they contend, so they
intend to fight hard for rules
changes even before the new
Congress takes up substantive
issues.
Efforts in the area of rules
will concentrate on preventing
filibusters. in the Senate and
weakening the power Of the
House Rules Committee to
block legislation.
Labor strategists hope their
ambitious campaign plans will
start paying off even before the
elections, when Congress recon-
VeneS next month for a post
convention session. The union
lists hope, at least, to reverse
the Houses action on minimum
wage legislation by pushing
through a bill to raise the wage
floor from 81 to $1.25 an hour
and to extend coverage to 5
million workers who now are
excluded.

successes. A large majority of
the congressional candidates
Endorsed by labor were elected.
But the victories turned sour.
Instead of enacting labor's
legislative program, Congress
has dealt severe blows to the
union viewpoint. Last year, for
example, Congress passed a
stringent union reform law.
This year, the House rejected
labor's demands for liberaliza-
ton Of the minimum wage law
and passed a scaled-down bill.
Pleas Rebuffed
On other issues, Congress has
rebuffed or ignored union pleas
for aid to depressed areas,
broad civil rights legislation,
relaxation of curbs on picket
ing, aid to housing and educa-
ton, medical care for Social
Security pensioners, prohibition
of State "right-to- work" laws.
Federal standards for unem-
ployment compensation and tax
relief for low income brackets.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany and other labor leaders
call the record of the 86th Con-
gress to date a failure. Their
disappointment contrasts with
labor's exuberance Immediately
after the 1858 elections, when
many unionists expected great
things.
Even then. some shrewd labor
officials warned against over
optimism. Andrew Biemiller,
the AFL-CIO chief lobbyist,
told delegates to a post-election
conference here that they faced
tough legislative battles because
Congress was not so liberal"
as the heavy Democratic ma
jority seemed to indicate.
Not Doing Enough
After soul-searching and an
alysis, union leaders have re-
jected the idea that defeats in
Congress show their political
and lobbying policies are faulty.
Rather than change the poll
cies, they have decided to work
harder on the same track.
There's nothing baSically
wrong with what we have been
doing" an AFL-CIO official
said. 1--WE just haven't been
doing enough of it,"
1--WE are going to intensity
our political activity, not draw
back" he declared.
Union strategists maintain
that true liberals" who re-
ceived enthusiastic AFL-CIO
support in 1858 have kept faith.
They have voted right ac-
cording to AFL-CIO score
cards-but they have been out
voted by conservatives in both
parties.
Several key defeats sustained
by labor in Congress have come
on very close votes. The House,
for example, adopted the mini
mum wage bill opposed by
labor on a vote of 211-203.
A shift of only four votes would
have reversed the result.
The obvious solution, union
lists contend, is to help elect
more liberals" to Congress.
Gearing Up
In addition, they want a
sympathetic President so that
White House influence will help
rather than oppose labor's
legislative efforts.
To achieve these goals, the
AFL-CIO is gearing up for it's
most active-and perhaps most
expensive-political campaign.
The labor federation's Com
mittee on Political Education
(COPE) and parallel political
units in affiliated unions have
been collecting money and
training workers since shortly
after the 1858 election. These
activities will be intensified in
coming weeks.

Island Democrat, for COM
pulsory Federal insurance
within the framework of the
social security act. They have
held it up in the Ways and
Means committee and are
trying to work out some ver-
sion which will do more than
Javits proposes but not so
much more that it will scare
off the President.
1t is generally agreed that
the price tag will sell or kill
any bill in the mind OF the
budget-conscious President.
So far he has evaded COM
mitting himself.
But the heat is on in both
parties. The cynical may pro-
nounce health insurance for
the aged a mere vote-catcher,
but a lengthy record shows
that most of the aged can
prove need in relation to the
medical costs they must bear.
1t is equally obvious on every
hand that their numbers are
growing so they are each year
an increasingly powerful po-
litical force.

National Chairman Morton
