He is to meet with Secretary of
State Dean Acheson, Foreign Sec
retary Ernest Bevin and Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman at 9:30
a. m., Eastern Standard Time.
Authoritative sources in the
Western camp predicted the Rus
sians eventually would reject the
Western offer. These sources feel
no doubt that pro-Western groups
will win a free eilection in all Ger
many and the Iron Curtain will be
pushed back to the Polish and
Czechoslovak frontiers.
The Russian Foreign Minister is
expected to shower the West with
lengthy interrogation on each
phase of the joint American-Bri
tish-French project submitted to
the Four-Power Foreign Ministers
Council Saturday.
Red Criticism
Initial Soviet comment, voiced
by Tass and Russian pubiications,
criticized the Western plan as a
breach of the Potsdam agreement,
which established the Four Power
Allied Control Council for Ger
many. A main criticism was that
the plan provides for majority de-‘
cisions, limiting the veto power.
Vishinsky has proposed the con
trol council be reestablished to
supervise a German Administra
tive Council representing economic
bodies in the Eastern and Western
zones.
The Western powers, on the
other hand, have proposed that
Eastern Germany be allowed to
join the German government be
ing set up at Bonn. The all-Ger
man state would function under
an occupation statute approved by
the four occupying powers. The
veto power would be applicable
only in “exceptional”’ cases.. - '

Demos Cite Changes
For Sub Labor Bill -
WASHINGTON, May 30. — (AP) — Another Demo
cratic senator who once opposed any changes in the ad
ministration’s labor bill came out today for a series of
amendments.
Senator Withers (D.-Ky.), a member of the Senate
Labor Committee, predicted “tough sailing” for the bill
even if the amendments he has in mind are adopted.
The Senate may start debating
the administration’s Taft-Hartley
repealer .this week, although the
State Department is urging action
first on ratification-of the Atlantic
Treaty. . :
Foes of the administration labor
bill are claiming powerful support
for a Republican-written substi
tute measure. The fibstitute, of
tered by GOP ators Taft
(Ohio), Donnell"{Mo.), and Smith
(N.J.), would make 28 changes in
the Taft-Hartley Law but preserve
what the sponbars call the basic
principles of the lawi
The administration bill, on the
other hand, would wipe the T-H
measure off the books and replace
it with a slightly re#@ed version of
the old Wagner Act?
Compromise. talk among some
Truman Democrats in the Senate
got a big push a month ago after
the House shelved the administra
tion measure and nearly passed a
bill which would have kept most
of the T-H law.s
Prior to that development, With
ers had joined with the seven
other Democrats on the Senate La
bor Committee in approving the
administration bill without change.
The Democratic majority refused
to consider any of the amendments
the five Republican members
wanted to offer.
Withers told a reporter today
that he now has decided to vote
for at least five amendments he
expects to be offered when the
bill comes up in the Senate. The
Kentucky lawmaker said he is for
changing the bill to:
1. Give the President limited
authority to seize struck plants or
industries in national emergency
situations.
2. Require both management
and labor officials to sign affida
vits that they are not Communists
or Fascists.
3. Guarantee free sgeech, short
of intimidation or eoerc¢ion, to both
employers and workers.
4, Require both labor and man
agement to bargain collectively in
good faith.
5. ‘Require unions to file finan
cial reports.

I J .
For ‘Red’ China
WASHINGTON, May 30.—(AP)
—The administration is slowly
swinging around to a policy of
doing business with a Communist
China.
A policy of restricted trade
like that which governs Ameri
can econdmic relations with Com
munist Eastern Europe is being
worked out by the State Depart
ment to cover dealings with the
Chinese.
This is based on two major re
strictions:
1. No loans. What the Chinese
buy from the United States they
will have to pay for in cash or
goods. No American aid supplies
go to Communist areas.
2. No strategic materials, Goods
which are now barred from trade
with Russia and its FEuropean
satelites because they might
have military value are not to be
sold to Communist China either.
“Along with a trade policy built
ori’these lines, the State Depart
ment fs'intensely ‘studying the
Chinese situation and- its impact
on general American foreign pol
icy toward the Far East. '

Ford Workers
Break Strike
DETROIT, May 30—(AP)—
About 1,200 Ford maintenance
workers returned to their jobs to
day at the conclusion of the CIO.
United Auto Workers 24-day
strike.
But the Ford Motor Co. estima
ted it may be two weeks. before
full production is resumed in all
plants and 106,000 employes are
back on the job. - y
An agreement leaving the main
issue in the speed-up dispute to
arbitration was reached early Sun
day after days of steady negotia
tions. About 65,000 UAW mem
bers employed in the struck Rouge
and Lincoln 'plants ratified it by
big margins at meetings later in
the day.
Ironically, neither €ompany nor
union will know for some time
who actually won the sirike that
cost Ford and the workers an esti
mated $77,000,000.
Attempts to select eitheysa single
arbitrator or a three-man board
will begin tomorrow. But it may
be weeks before any decision is
handed down on the main issue—
allocation of manpower.
Meéanwhile, Ford speeded ar
rangements to get assembly lines
rolling again in its big industrial
empire.
MORE CUTS SOUGHT
Economy Talks Gain
Momentum In Congress
WASHINGTON, May 30.—(AP)—The talk of ecutting government
spending kept rolling teday, with Chairman McKellar (D.-Tenn.) of
the Senate Appropriations Committee saying:
“I think some way can be found to make more cu'g"
Senators Edwin C. Johnson (D-
Colo.) and McClellan (D-Ark.) in
separate interviews also expressed
hope of economy, but they did not
go so far as to say that it would
come to pass.
Despite much demand for trim
ming expenses, Congress has not
done much in a way that will stick.
McKellar noted there have been
some savings, then added: “But
they are not enough.”
Private predictions came this
week-end from administration
sources that spending actually
will be more in the new fiscal year
beginning July 1 than it has been
during the year now ending.
Further, these officials said spend
ing will continue to increase in
tgg fiscal year beginning July 1,
1951. .
These officials, who asked not
to be quoted by nam=, said that
greater spending is to be expected
from increased outlays for such
things as farm price supports, the
handling of unemployment com
pensation funds, costs of job place
ments, etc. e

GRASS FIRE
Firemen answered a call to
Foundry street yesterday where
there was a grass fire. The fire
was readily extinguished with no
damage being incurred.
While appropriations are pri
marily a matter for McKellar’'s
committee, economy proposals are
coming up also before the Senate
Expenditures Committee headed
by MecClellan.
President Truman has spending
plans for about $42,000,000,000 i
the upcoming fiscal year, and Mc-
Clellan said a preliminary survey
indicates that “much of it is un
touchable.” Veterans’ benefits, in
terest on the public debt and oth
er governmental obligations fall
into this category.
McCellan said his committee
will ‘ask budget heads and tup
economic advisers to detail how
they would cut expenditures “one,
two and three billioh dollars, to
offset an impending federal de
fieit corresponding to one of thpse
amounts.”
A number of economists say
that government revenues, from
‘taxes and other sources, will taper
offiin the next fiscal year.
- That would mean the govern
ment would spend more than it
takes in, or that federal taxes
would have to be boosted.

Memorial Day
By The Associated Press
Little American Flags waved
above the graves of the nation’s
‘war dead today—a Memorial day
dedicated to their memory and to
the hope that peace may reign su
preme,
In proclaiming the day of honor
il‘or “our heroic dead,” President
Truman said this is a fitting oc
!casion when—
‘| “The people of our nation may
appeal to almighty God for help
in turning the steps of the world
to the paths of permanent peace.”
By the Presidential proclama
tion, the hour beginning at 10 a.
m. EST was set aside as a period
for uniting in prayer.
At home and overseas, the
oraves scldisrs sailors, marines,
‘airmen and coast guardsmen were
‘each assigned an American flag.
Wreaths and other tributes of
flowers were in addition.
Speeches of gratitude for those
who gave their lives were mixed
with reminders that living Ameri
cans owe them the assurance that
they did not die in vain.
“The account can be marked
‘paid in full, ” said Secretary of
Defense Louis Johnson, “only
when we can gurantee their wives
their sons and daughters a strong
America’ free from the threat of
another war. Peace through
strength must be our goal.” -
The other leaders of the Military
Department spoke similarly in
their Memorial day statements.
