House Kills T-H Repealer

WASHINGTON, May 4 “ House Republicans and Southern Democrats, who killed President Tinman's Taft-Hartley repealer, l.nod up today to give final approval to their own Wood sujstitute bill. The action was a mere formality after a week of fiery debate and fancy behind-the-scenes maneuvering. To all intents and purposes, the issue was settled late yesterday on a showdown that found the administrtaion 14 votes short of victory. Two votes were expected today. The first was to be on an anticipated motion to send the labor legislation back to committee. Even Democratic leaders conceded there was slight chance that this move would be successful. And even if it should succeed, it would result only in killing the labor bill aJtegether, in the hope that a fresh start could be made at some later date. The second vote, on final passage, was expected to see the administration-opposed Wood hill approved. The measure then would go to the Senate, where a grpup of Southern, Democrats and Republicans, irfeluding Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., have started work on similar legislation. By a vote of 217 to 203, the House late yesterday substituted the Wood bill for the administration measure. House acceptance of the Wood substitute was the most crushing defeat the President has yet suffered at the hands of the Democratic 81st Congress. During the political campaign. Mr. Truman had solemnly pledged to work for outright repeal of the Taft-Hartley law ami restoration of the New Deal Wagner ACt with a few ‘‘improvements.” The Wood bill, sponsored by Rep. John S. Wood, D., Ga., but written by Republicans, technically would repeal the TaftHurtley Law. But actually it would re-enact all its basic provisions in modified form. dome Democrats were urging an all-out drive to round up the votes necessary to send the bill hack to committee. In addition to being a slap at

the President, acceptance of the Wood bill also amounted to a repudiation of. the leadership of House Speaker Sam Rayburn ct Texas who had whipped up . compromise proposal in an 11th hour bid to snatch the administration bill from defeat. The compromise lost the votes of northern Democrats from labor districts who were unwilling to agree that injunctions should be used against labor unions In "national emergency'' strikes. Many of the northerners offered amendments to delete the injunctive provision. After thes-' were voted down, the compromise was rejected 211 to 183. The Republicans then proceeded to offer a series of "relaxing'’ amendments to the Wood bill. Every one was a ‘‘concession" to organized labor and every on ■ made the Wood bill easier tr pass. A roll call vote showed 71 Democrats joining 146 Republicans in favor of the measure Against it were 180 Democratic 22 Republicans and Rep. Vitc Marcantonio, ALP. N. Y.

More than 80,000 workers wen died by labor disputes today and a scheduled strike against the Ford Motor Company threatened o swell the total by 100.000. The CIO United Automobile Workers set tomorrow noon as :hc deadline for a walkout at F'ord’s mammoth River Rouge nlant near Detroit. A shutdown of the key plant would force about 100,000 Fo>'d workers across the country into idleness. The union charged that the company had instituted a speedup on its assembly lines. The union also scheduled a strike by about 3.500 workers at Ford’s Lincoln plant in Detroit tomorrow.

George Bernard Shaw.

Five minutes after leaving Shaw's home at Ayot St. I^awrcnce, outside London, yesterday, Kaye was injured in an automobile accident. But he went on stage at London's Palladium theater twice last night to “wow them as usual” in the greatest performances of his career. Durfng the first performance with doctors waiting in his dressing room, Kaye suddenly turned white with pain while before the audience and the curtain was rung down to the strains of
