profits by giving them in cash the
difference between the lowered
selling price and a federally-set
floor.
Democrats generally withheld
judgment. But some Republican
farm-state leaders were immedi
ately critical. Senator Aiken <R.
Vt.», author of a farm bill passed
last year, said the new program
gives the government more con
trols than before.
Congress must approve before
the program goes into operation.
In the House, emergency funds
for the atomic energy commission
and the Berlin airlift headed for
swift approval. The two funds are
part of a $671,047,172 appropria
tion bill to help out assorted gov
ernment agencies for the rest of
the year. The appropriations com
mittee trimmed $26,981,255 from
the figures President Truman
asked, but it didn’t touch the $110,
000,000 he wanted for the atomic
energy commission or the $43,000,
000 for the airlift.
The measure is the third big |
money bill of the week: Tuesday
; the House okayed $701,122,079 for
the agriculture department and
yesterday $747,216,102 for the
state .commerce and justice de
partments to operate during the
fiscal year beginning July 1.
The Senate wearily entered the
12th day of debate on the $5,580,
000,000 European recovery bill
with stubborn opposition still de
laying a final vote sought urgent
ly by Democratic leaders.
Senators Myers of Pennsylvan
ia. Democratic whip, said the Sen
ate would be kept in session late
tonight and tomorrow if necessary
to get an approving vote on the
bill extending aid to Europe for
another 15 months.
Major opposition has centered
around the cost, not the plan itself.
The House-passed oleomargar
ine tax repeal bill started churn
ing in the Senate today. The fi
nance committee called Senators
Fulbright (D.-Ark.) and Maybank
<D.-S. Cd, both backers of the bill,
to testify at hearings. Opponents
get their chance to talk later.
The measure, as approved by the
House 287 to 89 last week, would
remove the 63-year-old federal
taxes on oleo, but provides that
when sold in public eating places
it must be identified as oleo, and
served in triangular shape.
New Polar Com
Developed
i WASHINGTON, </P> — Develop
ment of a new non-magnetic com
pass which can be used for air
navigation in the polar regions
has been announced by the bureau
of standards.
Known as the “sky compass," it
was described as “particularly use
ful” during the long periods of
twilight in the polar regions when
neither the sun nor the stars are
visible. *
Such an instrument has long
been desired because magnetic
compasses- will not work in the
polar regions. Compasses which
depend upon the sun or stars for
direction also are undependable
in polar twilight periods, the bur
eau said.
The new compass works on the
same principle as that utilized in
Polaroid sun glasses. The bureau
said that by comparing brightness
of the sky from different mea
sured angles the direction of the
sun can be accurately determined.
Then, with knowledge of the time
of day, the north-south direction
can be computed with the aid of
astronomical tables.

Rules Against
Longshoremen In
Jurisdictional Row
• Con'ined from Page One'
cause it is “both futile and un
necessary," since the company has
already made its own decision
which the board has no power to
reverse.
The longshoremen’s union,
headed by Harry Bridges, claimed
a legal and traditional right to
load the barges. The company said
it had a contract with the wood
workers union for all work at the
plant, including barge-loading.
The longshoremen picketed the
docks. The company said mem
bers of the longshoremen’s union
also refused to unload one of the
barges when it arrived at a Cana
dian port.
So the company filed unfair la
bor practice charges last summer,
under the Taft-Hartley provision
that bans strikes or refusals to
handle goods when the object is to
force an employer to assign partic
ular work to a particular union.
The board’s decision did not de
cide this unfair practice case. It
only ruled that the longshoremen’s
union had no legitimate claim to
the jobs—either by contract, board
order, or any other way—and
therefore is not entitled to force
the company, to assign the work to
its members.
The longshoremen’s union was
given 10 days to announce what it
intends to do.
