Fears ‘Chaos’ [i If Republican ~ Measures Pass

Mediation Proposal Strongly Criticized

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (U, P), ~—Secretary. of Labor Lewis B.| Schwellenbach charged today that the major strike-control bills backed hy Republicans would actually impede labor peace—and throw the nation into a period of “industrial chaos.” | His attack, and especially his criticism of the G. O, P.s Ball-Taft-Smith bill, indicated clearly that the administration and the Republican congress still are far apart on labor legislation:

Two bills already introduced would pay the bonus, but provide no plan for financing it. A third would impose a three per cent sales tax for five years. Administration Bill Another bill introduced in the house yesterday would put the bonus question on a referendum in the next general election. The measure was proposed by Rep. Henry A. Kreft (R.

A long fight for sufficient pay to | induce competent personnel fo work in the state's mental hospitals appeared a step nearer victory today, Chief weapon in the struggle is a

yesterday, Key to the salary problem is ‘a clause in the measure which will enable the governor, with the approval of the budget director to fix the salaries of the supervisory medical » officers in state mental institutions. This power would be independent of statutory limitation. ” State mental health officials expressed optimism after the bill kpassed the senate yesterday. said they felt there would be no stumbling blocks in the lower house and looked for its speedy approval. The proposal, introduced. by Senator Roger G. Wolcott. (R. Indian= apolis), throws the entire responsibility for selection, training, tenure and compensation of the state's ie psychiatric, personnel on the Indiana Council for Mental health. A second bill which would place under the council all mental records . now being handled by the state wel- » fare department -is up for passage in the senate again today.

[Saturday and Sunday, have been |’

completed, State Chairman Martin Larner of Indianapolis announced today. Thé business meeting will open Saturday in the Claypool hotel and continue throughout the day. Open sessions at which state delegates ‘will map the A. V. C, program for 1947 will be held Sunday at the Indiana world war memorial, The principal - issues of state policy to be decided by the Hoosier delegates stand on a veterans’ bonus, housing, fair employment, increased veterans’ benefits and an anti-Communist resolution adopted by the national headquarters.

Cool Toward’ ‘State Handouts’

Cool toward the policy of “state handouts” to veterans, a group of delegates in A. V. C. is prepared to oppose state bonus plans now being considered in the legislature. | Instead, it will seek higher fed-| eral subsistence allowances for vet- | erans- now receiving educational benefits in college. The week-end convention will} decide the stand ~f the veterans’ organization on the bonus, which is expected to be the most controversial local issue on the agenda.

Seek Housing Financing

On housing, the A. V. C. has!

been pressing in local communities for housing authorities sd that rental units-may- be made available through public financing.
