C. J. RICHARDS walked through the gate at Allison’s the other day but it didn’t take a patrolman long to call him back. He was wearing an Italian aircraft badge used by his son, Pfc. Doyle J. Richards, at the Caproni aircraft factory in Milan, Italy. Pfc. Richards, now home in Michigantown on furlough, wore the badge while he was on guard duty in Milan. He was with the 85th Custer division and saw action all through the Po valley and the Alps. The Caproni plant is one of the largest aircraft factories in Italy and built the first jet-propelled plane which flew successfully. Mr. Richards got in Allison's all right, though. He had his regular plant badge along, too. . +» « A big hoot owl must have got lost in the city last week. He was found dead in the middle of Pearl st. near Senate ave.

tration’s full employment bill, it was learned today. oa The proposal, aimed at eurbing “irresponsible” resort to strikes, has been dispussed informally among some members of the house executive expenditures committee, which has been holding hearings on the bill. However, there has been no crystallization of opinion behind any specific move.

= o ” REP. ED GOSSETT (D. Tex) indicated he may inject the issue of “union responsibility” into the debate over the bill. He predicted the measure would never emerge from committee unless amended. “Privileges and -~esponsibilities should go hand in hand,’ Gossett said. “If labor is giver further rights they should have ‘corresponding duties imposed pn them. The present wave of strikes going on across the country is not helping labor. “Unless the public’ interest is given more consideration by certain ‘labor leaders, the whole cause of organized labor is going to suffer. There is growing sentis ment in congress to impose on organized labor greater responsibility for its acts.” " o ” THE ATTITUDE of many legislators appeared similar to that which erupted two years ago in passage of the Smith-Connally anti-strike law following three nation-wide coal strikes. If a move should be made now to attach labor restraints to the full employment bill, the situa« tion would parallel the handling of the Smith-Connally bill in that the initiative would be kept from the labor committee, which usually is friendly to the wishes of organized labor.
