Says Treasury Too Powerful

WASHINGTON (UPD— Former ambassador, cabinet officer and foreign aid boss W. Averell Harriman testified today ttie Treasury and the Budget Bureau have too much voice in national security and foreign policy. "I would suggest that their wings be clipped,” Harriman said in prepared testimony before a Senate subpbmmittee studying the formulation of national security policy. Harriman said the Budget Bureau and the Treasury were “essentially ‘no’ agencies," usually “on the side of ‘go slower’ and ‘do less’ ” because of their fiscal responsibilities. He proposed that views of the Council of economic advisers be given greater weight" in judging the financial impact on security programs. • Harriman served as ambassador to Russia and Great Britain and was commerce secretary and director of the Mutual Security Agency under Democratic administrations. He was governor of New York State from 1955 to 1958 “Crucial programs” must not be sacrificed “because of claimed resource limitations which in fact may prove to be more fictional than real," although those resources must not be squandered on “projects of marginal worth, he said. “in this time of growing across-the-board competition from the communist world, our government should be more concerned with i the affirmative —with ,what must be done, what can be done, and City Swimming Pool Opening Is Delayed Adolph Kolter, city street commissioner, announced today that opening of the municipal swimming pool will be delayed as circulating water lines to the pool have rotted through and must be replaced. —- It is hoped to complete repairs in order that the pool may be opened the latter part of next week. Announcement of the pool opening will be made in the Decatur Daily Democrat.

Broadway Theater Darkened By Strike

NEW YORK (UPD— Broadway’s fabled footlights are flickering and by tonight the world’s theatrical center was expected to be in darkness because of a labor dispute between actors and producers. The lights of one show went out Wednesday last night and only an eleventh-hour settlement of a bitter contract dispute today could prevent the first Broadway blackout in 41 years. Although bargaining talks were W?heduled to continue today between representatives of Broadway producers and actors, prospects for an agreement by nightfall were extremely poor A union-ordered walkout of the cast of the hit comedy, ‘T h e Tenth Man,” an hour before curtain time Wednesday night served as the switch that is expected to darken all 22 Broadway theaters this evening. The League of New York Theaters, which represents both producers and theater owners, immediately notified casts of all shows that all performances tonight would be cancelled in -reprisal against Wednesday's c a s t walkout. r “Every play and musical in town will be out Thursday night”, Alexander H Cohen, a spokesman for the Theater League, announced after the 17 cast mem-

Ini 7:30 p.m. Saturday. A final in-1 aprctloo will be made «»f the camp-| mg site to return it to its original i condition. Troop committeemen arc urged to be present for as much of the campout as possible Parents of the boys arc invited! Ito attend the Saturday afternoon' to see their young [men in action in scouting activitWould Require Solons Account For Expenses WASHINGTON (UPI) — The chairman of a House watchdog | committee proposed today that junketing congressmen be required to account publicly for their government-paid expenses so taxpayers can be sure their money doesn’t go for whiskey, nightclubs, and other high living. Rep. Omar Burleson <D-Tex.l, who, {leads the Committee on House Administration, said he believed prompt reporting on outlays for official travel in and out of the country would safeguard ..the Treasury against fhdst abuses said he doubted that abuses were common anyway. There was no immediate rush among his fellow lawmakers to get behind Burleson’s proposal. Many members felt they had been treated unfairly in published charges of legislative hi-jinks on investigative missions in the U.S. and abroad. In similar copyrighted accounts by a team of two reporters, the knight newspapers and Life magazine said a look at 25.329 vouchers filed by House members prior to last June 30 revealed some “shocking” abuses of the congressional expense account y Burleson, one of the targets or the charges, was directed immediately by his committee to reiterate in the strongest terms to other House members the ground rules on what they may and may not charge off to the taxpayers for official travelsHe also announced plans to confer . witfif House leaders on what else could be done to tighten up the admittedly “rather loose arrangement by which his committee approves congressional expense sheets.

bers of "The Tenth Man” failed to appear at the Booth Theater for Wednesday nighty performance and attended a union meet, ing two blocks away. Spokesmen for both the Theater League and'Actors Equity, which represents about 11.000 actors and actresses, said they Were still far apart in .their negotiations whica have been carried on since April 15. Major issues in the dispute are the union’s demand for a pension, an increase in minimum salaries, improved working conditions and other benefits. mass shutdown of Broadway theaters was agreed on by the Theater League if the union carried out its threat to call isolated “meetings” of casts of various shows about an hour before curtain time —a strategem put into effect for the first time Wednesday night. Meanwhile, co - producers of “The Tenth Man” said they would file a one-million-doll ar damage suit in the New York state Supreme Court today against both the union and the 17 cast members who failed to appear for Wednesday night’s performance. Burton Zorn, counsel for’ the League, said the pe* formers would be charged with "breach of contract” and the union with inducement of breach of contract.

WASHINGTON < UPI * - DCfcm* i | Secretary Thomas S. Gate* Jr. | I disclosed today that 1-2 spy i plane flights provided the United States with secret data about So-1 I vict atomic weapons. mtssUcs. i submarines, planes and airfields He said the information brought back by the U-2s was "vital in/ori mation" which., was used by the Defense Department Gates described the military value of the <hght> ia closed door testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which is conducting an inquiry into the U-2 episode and the subsequent failure of the summit meeting. Gates testified that the espionage flights, directed by the Central Intelligence Agency, produced “information on airfields, aircraft, missiles, missile testing and training, special weapons storage, submarine production, atomic production and aircraft deployment” and similar secrets “All Types” oi Data "These were all types of vital information,” he said. "171680 results were considered in formulating our military programs. We obviously were the prime customer and ours is the major interest.” " A censored transcript of Gates testimony was made public. Gates also testified about his action ordering a worldwide alert of all U.S. military services on . the eve of the Paris summit l crisis. * I Gates said the May 15 alert — with special emphasis on coimrwj ideations—-was issued as a “quiet increase in command readiness,” i and was to have been carried out > “without public notice, if possible.” Word of the alert leaked i out. however. I “This communications alert i was not an act that was either offensive or defensive in character.” he said. "It was a sound precautionary measure. It did not recall Army. Navy. Air Force and Marine personnel from leave. There was no movement of forces involved. Final Scheduled Witness Gates’ opening statement took less than three pages and was i not censored before Its release to the press ■ Gates was the final scheduled witness in the committee’s inquiry into events surrounding the summit failure. The same tight security precautions that have surrounded the hearings since they began last week were still in es- ; R Chair man J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) said the May 15 alert was one of the main things the committee wanted to discuss with Gates at its closed-door inquiry into the U-2 spy plane incident and summit collapse. Fulbright said Gates probably would be the last witness at the hearings unless his. testimony turned up a need for calling others. A censored transcript of Gates’ testimony will be made pUt>liC ' Gates ordered Alert Gates ordered the alert from Paris the day before summit sesI sion was to begin. The alert sent servicemen scurrying to duty sta- . tions around the world but caused . concern in many localities. President Eisenhower said he . approved of the alert, which came about a week after the United 1 States admitted that the U-2 plane : downed in Russia was on an in-telligence-gathering mission. The committee Questioned Denutv Administrator Hugh L. Dryden of the National A eron tics and Space Agency for two hours Wednesday about NASA s role in the U-2 incident.

More Blood Donors Are Urgently Needed A total of 58 blood donors have been secured for the bloodmobile visit next Wednesday, but lit more are urgently needed so that the blood supply in this area can be kept at normal level, Mr*. Cletus B. Miller, chairman of the county program, said today. At least 170 donors must be scheduled this week to give blood between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. next Wednesday. New donors are encouraged to volunteer. The process takes less than an hour, and a test for blood iron ascertains whether It is safe for the donor to give blood. A light luhch is served after the blood has been given. Several Decatur Area people have given five gallons in the past few year* that the program has been in operation. Those desiring to give blood to replace that used by a friend or relative may do so by mentioning the friend or relative’s name when giving. Adams county is about 30 pints short for the year so far in reaching its quota.

Right To Work Law Back In Limelight

INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) — Indiana’s controversial “right to work” law, a key issue in the last two sessions of the Legislature, was back in the limelight today Two powerful state labor leaders appeared before the Indiana Democratic State Platform Committee Wednesday and urged Democrats to “stand up and be counted’ 1 in opposition to the 1957 law. Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana AFL-CIO, and Louis Austin, head of the Indiana United Mine W or k ers > told the committee repeal of the law was the “No. 1 goal” of organized labor in Indiana. The “right to work” measure, which bans the closed shop, was passed by the slimmest possible margin in 1957 and became law when Governor Handley declined to take any action despite a protest march on the Statehouse by thousands of union membersEfforts to repeal the law failed during the 1959 session of the General Assembly and the issue was considered all but dead when the Indiana Appellate Court upheld the legality of the agency shop clause, a device whereby workers pay the equivalent of union dues even though they are not required to join the union. "Should Not Hedge” But Sells and Austin ■ made it plain to the committee that the issue was not dead as far as their memberships was concerned. Sells said Democrats “should not hedge oh ‘right to work’, but should make repeal of the measure a vital part of the party platform.” He termed the 1957 law the “Compulsory Open Shop Law.” Austin said his union would settle for “no less than outright repeal of "the misnamed ‘right to work* law. * * Sells also called for immediate reapportionment, prohibition of prison labor in open competition with private industry, enactment of a stlte Labor Relations Act, a broader tax structure and an “open primary” where voters do not have to state party prefer-

Bailey. 4«, a prafwwnr at religion at Hanover CoMcgr in Indiana. who waa found smothered by a ptajrtic bag ia a amaH London hotel Friday.

A maid found him derid in bed next morning Hanover, a Presbyterian college at Hanover, Ind., said Bailey had been in the Department of Religion for "12 or 14 years.” Bailey left three nctes. the cootents of which were not divulged. One note was addressed to p»> lice. It was not disclosed to whom the other typewritten letters were addressed. A British acquaintance at Bailey. Nils Nortensson, said he knew Bailey since 1939 but had no idee he was in England and had not seen him in two years. Testimoney at the coroner’s said Bailey's wife was contacted in Indiana and reported she did not know her husband was ia England. Bailey's death stunned member* of his fafauly and friends at Hanover. His widow, Ann, and his two sons, Brian, 17, and Keith, 14, had not known Bailey was out of the country, according to a spokesman tor the colkge where he had been a popular professor since 1946.

Austin said the committee should adopt labor planks ih its platform advocating an increase in workman’s compensation, a state minimum wage comparable to the present federal minimum wage, an increase in unemployment benefits to 75 per cent of the jobless persons average weekly wage for as/long as he is out of work, and a Is2poo exemption to replace the/present 31,000 exemption allowed Jojt the state gross income tax. 1” Money For Teachers The platform committee, headed by Greyble L. McHarland, Indianapolis, also heard from a number of other persons seeking to have the party endorse specific planks in the platform to be adopted three weeks hence at the state nominating convention. Ivan Brinegar, former Bedford mayor arid head of the Indiana Municipal Leagqe asked Democrats to come exit for a “more equitable sharing” with cities and towns of the state-collected funds. He also advocated the granting of authority to municipalities to levy taxes locally to “spread the tax base,” immediate reapportionment on a population basis, more local government on the city and town level and elimination of gross income tax assessments against municipal receipts because they are “anomalous, unreasonable, unfair. ’ Robert Wyatt, head of the Indiana State Teachers Association, asked Democrats to advocate a “vigorous and courageous attack on the tax structure in Indiana.” He also called fix: an increase in the minimum teacher salary, additional appropriations for school construction and greater state participation in the problems of education. AD . Mueller, general manager of Indiana Statewide Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., called tor Democrats to support the efforts of REMCs to remain “free of political domination and interference ...and resist unwelcome amendments to the Indiana REMC Act.
