MSVThe administration drive to get rid of I the Tart-Hartley law picked up a little stream in congress today.

The changes Mr. Truman wants re the game he sought two years go.

Mr. Truman asked for that, too. Thomas told the senate his bin provides for repeal "of the Taft- Hartley features of the national labor relations act. He was talk ing about the Wagner act. which was the basic labor law before it ws amended" and enlarged in 1947 and became the Taft-Hartley law. "The repeal of the features oil the 1947 iTan-aarueyi law win call for other legislation and the president's message called rorotn- er legislation." Thomas said. "At I the same time these other propos als may be worked out as amend ments or additions to the national labor relations act as it stood be fore the 1947 law." : : r & r r ( . i: A) IS k CULTURE DAT IN TURTO These mu wear eestaimes and play aauie ef their ancestors la "Canare Day" eelebraUea in Tokyo.

State Employes Suggest List Of Retirement Act Amendments A list of proposed amendments' to the state retirement act Is being sent 10 memDers or tne legislature by the Oregon state .Employes as sociation. Taking notice of proposals to advance the age for retire ment by five years, the association offers other suggestions which it believes will reduce the demand for continued service. The principal features of the association program are to give creau ior au prior service instead of 20 years maximum as at pres ents also to increase prior service credits from $2.50 to $4 per month.' This change should be retroactive. it is asserted, to include in its benefits those who have previously retired. Another recommendation is that the state match employes contri buuons up to a 14200 maximum. instead of $2,400 as at present. The employe would have the op tion of contributing on portion of salary above $2,400. Other changes are proposed with reference to benefits to state employes retiring on account of disability. Farm Price Support Policy Splits Senators WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-UP)-The senate agriculture committee split wide open today over farm prices supports whether they should bo xixed at 90 per cent of parity, or be flexible. " President Truman uncovered the disagreement with his request to congress to aim at farm abun dance and parity through price supports. He didn't give a formula. He Just said supports should prevent "out of line" farm price declines. and promote good land use. He observed that present laws "must be adapted" to the objectives. Senator Anderson (D-NM), who was close to Mr. Truman as his secretary of agriculture, said the president "left it completely and properly up to congress to determine." 3-Way Split A poll of 12 members of the committee showed a three-way split Four southern democrats on the committee, led by Chairman Elmer Thomas (Okla). claimed Mr. Tru man backed their demands for continuing government price props at 90 per cent of parity. Four republicans, headed by Senator Aiken (Vt), said the chief executive was backing a flexible price support, plan enacted by the GOP congress; but not yet in ope- J NEW S U I T-VlTecaLlnd- fors of the merles wears a brown, long-sleeved cocktail salt trimmed with black braid. ration. It would lower price floors If farmers produce surplus crops. Solon Compromise Four other democrats includ ing Senator Lucas (111), soon to become majority leader, and Sen ator Anderson adopted a com promise position. They said they lean toward flexible price supports' but may want to revise those now on the books.

I 1 J i ti .i. s j a oio in i i i his advice will be heeded by the administration or by the now democratic congress. For one thing. some oificlals have expressed doubt tha the, aid would be ef fective. Reporting to the joint senate- house committee on foreign econ omic cooperation, Bullitt said it is "not yet too late" to bolster Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai - Shek's forces sufficiently to stem the communist advance. Bullitt said, however, American economic and military subolies could not do the lob unless a "fighting general of the highest qualities" is put in control of the nationalist forces. He told reporters he believed Chiang would readily accept Am erican direction of his troops. Al though Bullitt refused to Say which general he thinks should be sent, he added: d "I believe General MacArthur could do the Job in leas time than any other general.' Bullitt, who was in China from November 9 to December 15, said it was "totally untrue" Chiang is no longer able to govern his coun try. But he added the Chinese have no single government gener al with the military training and skill to meet tne attack of more than 2,000,000 communist soldiers.
