Y T-H Revision Up For Senate Debate Today By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower's labor law revision pill was up for a do-or-die Senate vote today with Democratic oppo- nents confidentthey can push the administration plan aside. A move to send the Taft-Hartley Act revision measure back to the Labor Committee, to be made by Sen. Hill (D—Ala) or Sen. Murray (D—Mont), was scheduled for an early afternoon vote under a de- bate limitation agreed to by the Senate. If the Democratic motion wins, it would all but kill any chance of changing the long-disputed 1947 labor law this year. Both Southern and Northern De- mocrats appeared optimistic their lines would hold firm. They out- number Republicans 48-47, with the other seat held by Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore).Demo¢rats were count- ing on Morse’s vote on this issue. Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R— NJ), Labor Committee chairman, said, “we're not licked yet.” But he refused to predict the outcome. Sen. Kennedy (D—Mass) said he is “confident” of a Democratic victory. Northern and Southern Demo- crats gave widely differing reasons for wanting to send the bill back to committee. Northerners said they were un- satisfied with the committee bill, which substantially carries out Ejisenhower’s recommendations, because it fails to correct what they soe eniaber sections in the present law. Southern Democrats said the bill as now written does not contain control over strikes, boycotts and enough festrictions on labor union conduct nor give the states enough control over strikes, nave and Laryp je They expressed concern over an _ antidiscrimination seitonent which Sen. Lehman (D, Lib—NY) has promised to call up if he has a chance. The Senate has agreed to limit debate on Lehman’s amendment and all others, including the mo- ion to recommit, to 90 minutes for Ge divided between proponents ts, . opponent This debate limitation was de- seribed by Southerners as one reason they planned to give sub- stantial support to the recommit- tal motion. It would prevent any filibuster on Lehman’s amend- amendment, designed to forbid discrimination by an employer or a union because of race, creed or color. Pay Increase, Wage Guaranty Asked By CIO PITTSBURGH W—A guaranteed annual wage—long one of labor’s principal aims—and an unspecified pay increase keynote 1954 contract Las eb of the Powerful clo United Steelworkers. The union outlined its program | CY for negotiations with the basic steel industry, due to start later this month, asthe 170-member USW wage policy committee opened a two-day conference yes- terday to draft final bargaining A four-point program embodying demands for the guaranteed an- nual wage and a pay boost was adopted by the union’s 30-man ex- ecutive board and presented to the policy committee. Final approval is seen only as a formality. Rounding out the program are demands for improved insurance and pension plans and better con- tract terms on such items as seniority, holidays, vacations, over- time, severance pay and local working David J. McDonald, USW pres- ident, said the policy committee took up the wage and pension-in- surance points at the first day’s mn. He declined to state what wage hike the union wants for its 600,000 members in basic steel now earn- ing an average of $2.14 to $2.24 an On the guaranteed annual wage, McDonald said the proposal to be ae at the bargaining table will “likely follow the general trend of plan which the union has been discussing.” He said the plan calls for forma- tion of a supplemental benefit in- come to be paid to unemployed workers out of a trust fund. He didn’t go -into details. The USW will begin contract negotiations with U.S. Steel Corp. on May, 18. U. S. Steel, No. 1 steel producer in the country, gen- erally sets the contract pattern for the industry. Talks are expected to be sched- uled soon with other basic pro- ducers such as Bethlehem Steel Corp., Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, and Republic Steel Corp. Contracts expire June 30, Agreements worked out with the basic producers probably will form the basis for negotiations later this year with the fabricating and al- lied industries which employ an additional 600,000 USW members. Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, May 7, 1954 Democrats Call For End To “Circus Luxuries” Of GOP By D. HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON ( - —Democrats pave ont po ery ttertoe admin- istration to be done with “circus luxuries” and “TV spectacles” and come up with action to prevent a cold war from blowing hot. The Republican campaign slogan of 1952, “Clean Up the Mess in Washington,” was thrown back at the party in power last night at a Jefferson-Jackson Democratic din- ner that brought out an estimated 1,500 diners at $100 a head—or $150,000 for the drive to elect a that Republicans “ have created “messes of their own” in the McCarthyPentagon row and have suffered serious “reversals” on the Indochina question. Unlike many previous $100 a plate dinners by the Democrats in Washington, last night’s glittering ‘affair was generously attended by sat alongside and “Fair Dealers” in at least an outward show of unity. Former President Truman, who with his family, was a featured guest, told the diners in a brief informal talk: “As leaders of the free world we ‘must have the ip of our allies and we can't have that if we insult them.” Sen, Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, Senate Democratic floor leader, de- clared the Eisenhower administra- tion has been “caught bluffing by our enemies” and this country now stands in danger of being “left naked and alone in a hostile world.” Rep. Sam Rayburn of Texas, House minority leader, said the people heard a lot about a ‘“‘mess” in 1952 “and you are hearing a great deal more now.” He said Sen. McCarthy (R—Wis) is the “problem” of the Republicans, not the Democrats, and declared that if the principals in the McCarthy Army scrap were Democrats, ail Republicans and a majority of the newspapers would be saying: “This is the biggest mess that Washington has ever witnessed.” Adlai E. Stevenson, the Demo- cratic presidential candidate in 1952, sent a message predicting the Republicans will have Sen. Johnson said Democrats have opposed Republicans in Con- gress “in order to save” much of the President’s domestic program. Hence, he said, they become con- fused when they hear Eisenhoweg say he needs a Republican Con- gress to put that program across. Asserting American foreign poli- cy “has never in ail its history suffered such a stunning reversal” as in the past few weeks, he said: “We have been caught Leiggees by our enemies, Our friends and allies are frightened and wonder- ing, as we do, where we are headed, We stand.in clear danger of being left naked and alone in a hostile world. Only a few days ago we observed our final humilia- tion in the spectacle of the Amer- ican secretary of state backtrack- ing the Atlantic from the confer- ence at Geneva. It was somthing new for John- son to talk in such critical tones about GOP conduct of foreign poli- cy. He has made a point in the past of cooperating with the Re- tions set the tone at the fection.

Billie is the squeaky voiced, slightly dumb gal from the wrong side of the tracks who makes her way up in society via her looks and her illogical logic. Judy start- ed playing Billie in “Born Yester- day” on the stage. She lasted for three years, stopping in the middle to play an almost identical char- acter in “‘Adam’s Rib.” Then, after much maneuvering, She came West to play the film version of “Born Yesterday.” This time Billie hit the jackpot—an Os- car in Judy’s first starring picture The actress did two more pictures, “The Marrying Kind” and “It Should Happen to You,’ but the roles. plainly smacked of Billie Dawn. Now she is appearing in a movie with the unique title of ‘“Phffft.” When I watched her rehearse a scene, there were no overtones or undertones of Billie. It was all | Judy. She no longer has the short- bobbed hair. She wears an at- tractive bun—“It’s Columbia’s, not mine.” Her once-plump figure is now wasp-waisted. Instead of her garish costumes, she has an as- sortment of chic gowns. And the squeak has been replaced with her own modulated, slightly inquiring voice. “Yes, this is about as far from Billie as I can get,” she remarked. “After all, you can’t go on playing the same role all your life.” Knowing the dangers of type casting, Judy has planned her ca- reer well.

WASHINGTON w—Records of the U. S. Mint suggest economists | on the search for new and more sensitive pointers to whether busi- ness is getting better or worse may | have been overlooking something | good—the piggy bank economic indicator. For instance: Records of the nation’s three mints, kept here as records of “The Mint,” indicate that the pub- lic begins pinching its pennies, and other small coin, before the} big, impressive pointers to eco- nomic trends like industrial pro- duction show clearly that a down-| turn has set in. And, the piggy bank indicator indicates, ‘the public doesn’t loosen | up with its jingle money until after | business has definitely turned up again. It is too early to say definitely yet, but latest word from the piggy | bank indicator suggests that as of | early April business may have| taken a turn for the better. | How the public gets so wise, and | just why economic trends should| be sensitively traced in coin usage, | are mysteries the mint has not | unraveled. But it keeps month-by- month records of its deliveries of coins to the nation’s banks, which put change into circulation. And the records of coin deliveries fore- shadow and parallel the major |economic turns. Through April 23, coin deliveries totaled only about 20 million piec- es, compared with nearly 85 mil- lion pieces in the full month of | April 1953. But maybe the piggy bank indi- cator is indicating a new turn. In the week ended April 2, inventories of coins at federal reserve banks |showed a decrease for the first time since the end of 1953. That meant increased demand for coins |that week—not enough of an indi- cation to judge by yet, but perhaps a sign the economists might watch, ONE SURE WA To KILL ROACHE 2 oa tie, Seana PA STEARN' STEARNS RAT& ROACH PASTE Those businesses or individuals interested in the purchase of, or advertising in, the New KEY WEST CITY DIRECTORY, who have not as yet been contacted, write to Johnson Publishing Co. 203A.
