tion—and labor—wants to get rid
of permits court orders to halt
strikes threatening national wel
fare. Opposition to ending such
conti^ls has been stiff, even
among loyal Democrats.
But some Senators say that
Wednesday’s action by Lewis,
calling his men out of the coal pits
for a week, would focus attention
on the needs of government con
trols.
One administration lawmaker
said: “I’m really bitter about this.
It couldn’t have happened at a
worse time.”
Those who favor the Taft-Hart
ley act which provides curbs
against some strikes, or its GOP
sponsored substitute, figureLewis’
action strengthened their posi
tion all along the line.
Lewis himself is str o n g 1 y
against the T-H act, and has de
manded its repeal.
On the other side of Capitol
Hill, the House took up two bills

new swivel chairs and refrigera

The total of the two bills is
$62,200,705, slightly more than
Congress had for its activities this

J
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (/P) — An

Senate Doesn’t
Care If ECA Boss
Does Resign
_________
(By Don Whitehead)
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
McKellar <D.-Tenn.» today shout
ed at ECA boss Paul Hoffman:
“The sooner you resign, the better
■ it will be for the United States.”
The veteran chairman of the
Senate appropriations committee
openly accused Hoffman of trying
; to bully the committee into not
cutting European recovery funds.
Hoffman coldly denied he tried
to put any “pressure" on the com
mittee or that his talk of resign
ing was a “threat."
Hoffman had told reporters yes
: terday he would resign if he
i reached the point where he no
{longer thought he could direct the
{recovery program successfully.
And he said he did not think it
i could be done with less than the
$3,568,470,000 that ECA is asking
j for the first ten and one-half
months of the next fiscal year.
McKellar brought up the sub
i ject early in today’s hearing on
| the ECA appropriation, saying:
i “Other than giving away other
people's money, I wonder what
i you are doing in Europe. I think
1 it would be a very good thing if
! you did resign."
Some Senators said they will
: press for a cut in the recovery
funds even if it means Hoffman’s
resignation.
Hoffman tried to get in an ans
j wer several times but McKellar
shouted him down.
