WASHINGTON, Dei 2. tUP) A high administration source said today the White House has decided to approve the full $1.90 u-duy wage Increase negotiated by John L. Lewis for 350,00 soft

coal miners.

The informant said the decision will be announced, probably by Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam, within a few days. He said coal producers will be granted pries increases to cover the full amount of 'the wage boost, and that the arrangement will "amount to decontrol" of coal wages and prices although "it will not be called that." The Wage Stabilization Board sought to place a $1.50-a-day ceiling on the miners' wage increase, contending that the additional 40 cents negotiated by Lewis would be "unstubilizing. ’ Lewis countered by appealing to Putnam to overrule the board He warned that "confusion and unrest”—-presumably meaning a strike—would hit the industry if the full Increase were denied. Putnam has had the appeal “under advisement" tor several weeks, and has repeatedly postponed a promised ruling. Informed sources said Putnam was stalling to give the administration time to work out some formula which would avoid a coal strike, without openly scrapping wage controls. There were reports that industry and public members of the Wage Stabilization Board.

BULLETIN INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2.— (UP)—Gov.-elect George N. Craig's staff announced today he will assume control over the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles, a rich patronage agency. The announcement said the bureau will be removed from the control of the Secretary of State's office in the interests of placing it on "a business-like, long-time basis.” A 1945 law gives Craig power to take over the bureau when he becomes governor by executive order. He plans to appoint a commissioner to head the bureau for a four-year term, place 450 iiecord-keeping employes on a merit system, and transfer driver's license examinations to the state police. "To reduce automobile fatalities, we must place the supervision of licensing of automobiles and their drivers on a businesslike v long-term basis,” Craig’s announcement said. Then are about 1,000 patronage jobs In the bureau, topped by 157 auto license branch managerships. Republican State Chairman Noland C. Wright said the latter will be filled through GOP headquarters, requiring formal application and endorsement by party officials from the precinct level up.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (UP) President-Elect Eisenhower, having completed his cabinet by making a Democratic trade unionist Secretary ot Labor and choosing a manufacturer to be Secretary of Commerce, scheduled a conference today with one of the new appointees, Eisenhower gave the Labor I>ost, in an unexpected move, to Martin P. Durkin, 58, President of the United Association of journeymen and apprentices of plumbing and pipe fitting industry of the United States and Canada lAFL). He awarded the commerce portfolio to Sinclair Weeks, 59, of Boston, chairman of the Republican National Finance Committee since 1949. The appointments were announced late yesterday by Arthur H. Vandenberg, Jr., Eisenhower’s secretary. Vandenberg said Eisenhower also ihud appointed Walter Williams cl Seattle undersecretary of Commerce. Weeks, who served briefly as U. S. Senator from Massachusetts during World War II and campaigned actively for Eisenhower, was one of two visitors who Vandenberg said would visit the president-elect’s Morningside Heights residence today The other wa^, George M. Murphy, who will hei ome Secretary of the Treasury. The appintment of Durkin was a surprise because the Chi cago Labor leader has been a lifelong Democitit. He voted for Gov. Adlai E Stevenson, Eisenhower's opponent for president in the reeent election. Durkin sai I in Washington his nomination was "quite a surprise", and that lie may find it necessary to berime a Republican "now that I’m in the cab-

inet."

He had keiA’ed a similar capacity in state government, as III•nols' Director of Labor, under both Republican and Democratic

administrations.

Durkin, wlu began his union career as a ateamlitter's apprentice. said last n glit he believed Eisenhower wanDci to erase sections of the Tati Hartley law which may be "working fundamental labor 'hardships.” Durkin said in an interview today he would attempt to play the role as peacemaker between the new ariministrition and or-

ganized labor

He said he would take steps to arrange a meeting between Sen Robert A. Taft of C bio, co-author of the labor law. and major union leaders to discuss revision of tho legislation. Even if the proposed meeting fails to narrow the breach of illfeeling between la ft and organized Labor, Dm kin said the get-together would be useful. "Labor certainly should be consulted in advance of any bill to be introduced in the new congress on this subject," be said "There is nothin,, to be gained by ignoring labor’s views." Taft did not comment immedi ately on Durkins appointment He had recommended Clarence E. Manion, former Dean of the Notre I'anK' Law School.
