Senate Tenses I'* ' . For Debate On Labor Reform WASHINGTON <UPD—The Senate tensed today for a big debate over labor reform legislation. Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson <D-TexJ planned to call up the bill late today if pending business could be finished. Debate probably will rage for the balance of the week. At issue was how far to go in legislation to curb corruption in labor unions. Sen. Barry Goldwater <R-Ariz ), senior Republican on the Senate Labor Committee, calls the socalled Kennedy-Ervin bill “completely inadequate." Two other committee Republicans Sens. Jacob K. Javits (N.Y.) and John Sherman Cooper (Ky.) described the bill as a “major advance” in the labor-management field. Sen. John F. Kennedy <D-Mass > will be leading the battle to get the bill through the Senate without major change. But Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-N.C.I, a co-spon-Sor, would like to see the bill stripped of amendments to the Taft-Hartley law. AFL-CIO leaders demanded the amendments be a part of the bill if they are to support the legislation. Anti-corruption features of the bill includes reporting and public disclosure of union administrative' detail and finances, periodic election of officers by secret ballot, outlawing of big loans of union funds to union officers, and banning the holding of union office by ex-convicts. Other congressional news: Proxmire: Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) called on Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson to help fulfil 15 major “still-to-be-kept" pledges of the Democrats’ 1956 party platform. In remarks prepared for the third in Proxmire’s series of speeches on the Senate floor qbout Senate Democratic leadership, the liberal said the Democratic majority in Congress “still has a big job to do.” Rackets: The Senate’Rackets Committee scheduled another session with William Bufalino, a talkative Detroit Teamster, who denied he merely fronted for criminal elements behind a juke box business in Detroit. The committee has charged the law schooltrained Bulalino billed his local for $598 worth of his law books, including volumes on divorce and Unemployment: United Auto Workers Union President Walter P. Reuther said in 'a statment read to the House Ways & Means Committee! by another labor leader that “gross inadequacies” in existing unemployment compensation systems are hurting America. He called on Congress to. pass legislation designed to establish federal standards for state jobless benefits. A similar appeal came from _ a spokesman for Americans for Democratic Action. Stewart: Senate COP leader Everett M. Dirken (Hl.) predicted the Senate Judiciary Committee would approve unanimously the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, possibly next Monday. Dirksen said he thought Stewart’s confirmation would be accepted by southerners two hearings about the court’s general role and its 1954 ruling on public school desegregation. & •» Haflich And Morrissey Buy Winchester Store The Haflich and Morrissey shoe store chain of Decatur and Bluff-, ton added a third link Tuesday with the purchase of the Combs shoe store of Winchester.

Wage Freeze Demand By Steel Industry NEW YORK (UPI) — A steel industry leader said Tuesday night that “holding the line on steel wages would enable us to hold the line on steel prices and the two cannot be separated from each other despite some statements to the contrary.” The statement by Inland Steel Company President Joseph L. Block to a meeting of the New York Society of Security Analysts was the industry’s first reji>ly to a demand for a steel price freeze made Monday by United Steelworkers- President David J. McDonald. The union and the industry are scheduled to begin negotiations next month for a new contract covering about 500,000 workers in basic steel mills. McDonald’s statement — saying prices should be frozen and wage increases granted on a basis of increased productivity — "was itself an answer to an industry demand for a freeze on_wages. All the wage-price proposals have been advanced as a means to combat inflation. Block said Inland’s first-quarter statement, to be made public next week, would show record earnings for tiie period. He said he believed production, sales and profits would set a record for the entire year if there is no steel strike. < But he said “increased production costs without compensating price increases could only result in lower profit” and the industry can “ill afford a reduction in its profit margins." “The managements of steel companies have a responsibility for adequate earnings because without them the industry will not be able to serve the nation properly for peacetime or national defense purposes,” Block said. Jones and Laughlin, the first of the big steel companies to report, announced record first quarter net earnings Tuesday of $15,738,000 as compared with $1,657,000 in the first three months of last year. They amounted to $1.97 per share of common stock as compared to $.17 a year ago. The statement pointed out the firm was working at only 56 per Cent of capacity in the first months of last year and had some facilities shut down for modernization. Its previous top earnings for the quarter were in 1956 with $13,559,000. Over 2.50 V Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.
