NEW PROPOSAL IS MADE REGARDING LOYALTY PROBING WASHINGTON, April 2 — (® — Senator Lodge (R-Mass) proposed in the Senate today that a 12-mem- ber non-partisan commission be created to investigate disloyalty charges against government em- ployees. Lodge said harm is being done by the current Senate investigation of charges by Senator McCarthy (R- Wis), that pro-Communists are em- ployed by the State Department. Lodge is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee making the inquiry Lodge said the present method of Congressional investigation “often besmirches the character of inno- cent persons, weakens the position of the United States before the world and fails to find the really dangerous individuals.” | CAPT.

The message also gave specific reasons why the President last week signed a new cotton-peanut- potato law in which he saw objec- tionable features. He said he ac- cepted it only because good fea- tures seemed to outweigh the bad. “I urge the Congress,” he wrote today, “to proceed to consider fun- iamental improvements in our agri- ultural legislation to make it more efficient, less costly, and more conducive to abundant production of farm crops, yielding a fair re- turn to farmers, and selling at prices consumers can afford.” Ford Workers in (anadaDemanding $100 Month Pension (By Associated Press) Ford Motor Co. workers of Canada have voted in Windsor, Ontario, to strike in support of a demand for pensions of $100 a month.
