SIX 6$e&UR& NGwUgVlgW. ft6SE8Uft6, dPCR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1945 Dixie Democrats, Truman in Split Over FEPC Plan WASHINGTON, Pee. 21 ((.Pi) President Truman's relations with Congress took on a new air 01 tension today, particularly among Southern Democrats. One of the latter. Rep. Gibson of Georoia, declared "an ooen break" now exists with the Chief Executive. Others, who preferred not to be Quoted directly, echoed his remarks. Some of these sources also said thev saw little hope for Improvement in the sit uation when legislative work is resumed next year. The note of discord was tirompted hv these thrw White House developments yesterday as members began heading home lor the holidays: 1. Mr. Truman's news confer ence assertion that he would ex press himself forcibly soon on legislation calline for returning of the U. S. Emolovment Service (USES) to the slates within 100 davs. Several Congressmen Inter preted this as meaning either a veto or another verbal blast nt Congress Is In the offing. 2. Release of letters to key law makers in which the President termed "unacceptable" n House substitute for the so-called "full employment" bill the Senate has passed. 3. Issuance of an order autho rizing the Fair Employment prae. tices in private industry until next June 30. Mr. Truman's actions were termed "a political blunder" by Gibson. Talking to a reporter Gibson added: "It was lust like waving n red flag in our faces. He should have left well enough alone. Now we have an open break, lust like with the FEPC directive. Thev have been constant critics of the fleency and forced o cut in its funds last spring. Thev said the President's move to extend FEPC's wartime authority might prompt a new effort to abolish it. Bills' are pending In both cham bers to establish the agency on a permanent basis. Large numbers of both Repub licans and Democrats disagree with Mr. Truman about the em ployment service, which has been under Federal control since early In the war. The President first asked Congress to keen It under povernment supervision until July, 1M7. but later let It be known that July, 19-16, would be acceptable. Many Congressmen fought for an immediate return of the agency's administration to the states, hut a compromise finally was included in a $52,000,000,000 "cutback" anronriatlons bill spe cifying the 100-dav grace period. The President maintained that too earlv a return of I'SES to the states would upset the govern ment's reemployment program for veterans and former war plant workers.

Tighe said "I reaffirm the i,nv which I 1 previously broadcast that the ex press desire of the commander of this area Is that the Russian troops not be allowed to take over the Japanese island of Hok kaido." (Tithe's reply, monitored In San Francisco by AHC, added: ("Further, the supreme com mander's claim that if I made such statements I must have been full of Tokyo black market hooch is inaccurate in the first place but and this is more important hardly fitting In a discussion of a subject that concerns the very life of the United Nations organ ization." Tighe said he received his Information "from a reliable and honest source and I still con sider it both reliable and hon est.") Tighe. In the broadcast which drew the headquarters denial statement, set forth these re ports: 1. Russia wanted to send In an armv of occupation to Japan: MacArthur insisted on only a division. 2. Russia wanted to occupy the Northern island of Hokkaido, which Is nearest Siberia; Mac Arthur suggested Klushu. leav ing American forces on Honshu and Hokkaido in between the Russians and Siberia. 3.

In the oil industry's panel, company spokesmen also have threatened to withdraw if issues of profits and prices are introduced. President Truman's statement, which did not mention any single industry, said that "ability to pay is always one of the facts rele vant to the issue to an increase in wages." Ford Dispute Stymied In Detroit, the UAW-CIO held little hope for early settlement ot its wage dispute with the Ford Motor Company as negotiations were In recess until Jan. 8. The company's proposal of a 12.4 per cent wage rate increase as against the union's demand for a 30 per cent pay hike for the automotive industry, was for mally rejected at vesterday's con ference. The union termed the offer "completely unacceptable," and "totally inadequate." Secretary of Lalxir Schwellen hach's proposal to name a fact finding panel to consider issues in the seven-weeks-old strike of 4.000 employes of Greyhound Bus lines was studied today by union offials. A Greyhound corporation of ficial said the Pennsylvania and Central Greyhound Lines had accepted conditions for ending the strike in 18 eastern states. The panel would consider issues In the wage dispute after both parties agree to end the walkout and abide by other conditions. Borq-Warner Ups Wage The eight-weeks-old strike by 1.800 CIO-UAW workers in the Borg-W a r n e r Corporation in Muncie, Ind.. has been settled, says union President R. J. Thomas. He said the agreement includi wage increases of 13 cents an hour to non-incentive workers and boosting of earnings for production workers to an average of approximately $1.50 an hour. The strike at the plant, which manufactures transmissions, seri ously affected auto production. In South Gate, Calif.. CIO United Rubber Workers at the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. voted 599 to 55 to strike in sup port of demands for 30 cents an hour pay boosts. cept In emergency cases.

Supply Still Limited Bowles warned that termina tion of rationing do-s not mean there is an ample supply of tires to meet all requests. "For many months," he added, "It will remain important that motorists continue to do every thing possible to avoid excessive wear and tear on tires. There will be manv who wilt have to wait to get tires." The OPA chief urged all motor ists who can wait for a new tire until rationing ends to do so. AKRON, O., Dee. 21. 1 Lifting of tire rationing by the OPA Jan. 1 will result in "more confusion" but not more tires, predicts a spokesman for one of Akron's huge ruhlx-r companies.
