Anti-Sabotage
Compromise
By Carl Ilartman
1 PARIS, March 5 -UP- Justice
Minister Rene Mayer accepted a
compromise on the government's
anti-sabotage bill today amid re
newed. violence by communists in
the most bruising parliamentary
debate in recent French history.
The compromise,, proposed by
two socialist deputies, appeared to
assure socialist support for the
measure, .which seeks to safe
guard ; American arms shipments
due this month from threatened
communist sabotage.
Violence again broke out in the
national assembly, where the
measure has been debated since
Friday, night with only short re-
' cesses, when Alfred Coste-Floret,
' brother of a former colonial min
later, called a communist a "com
mon criminal."
General Mbtep
Communist Antonin Gros and
bis fellows rushed at the popular
republican benches and the popu
lar republicans stepped forward
to meet them. Dignified ushers,
"in traditional white ties and tail
coats, failed to prevent a general
mixing.,
Sirens screamed, , and as is the
practice,' reporters were cleared
from the press gallery!
When -the session - resumed
Speaker! Edouard Harriott rebuk
ed Coste-Floret.
Disapproves Insult
Our colleague Gros," he said,
"has been the object of an inad
missable insult. I disapprove it.1
Gros thanked him and the long
debate continued,
. During a recess of 11 hours to
day popular republican. Premier
Georges Bidault told the people in
a broadcast that violent tactics
showed his anti-sabotage Dill had
"scored a direct hit" on- the com
munists. He said the measure was to
make it possible for France to
resist the efforts to damage her
Security under cover of a pretend
ed attachment to peace."
Object Said Political
Denouncing "phony strikes," he
said the communists were trying
to - induce workers to join in
strikes for wages and other things
as a means of reinforcing political
action. ;-"...
The communist-led general con
federation of labor ailed a warm
up 24 hour strike of dockers yes
terday as a protest against ship
ments of arms to France under
the U. S. aid program to members
of the Atlantic pact. The com
munists have been threatening to
wreck the delivery of the arms, as
well as the shipment of military
material to Indochina to fight
Moscow-endorsed Ho Chi-minh's
Vietnamese guerrillas.
Threatened Not to Vote
. Some socialists, who dislike any
law which might be used against
strikes for legitimate union aims,
had been threatening to abstain
from voting for the anti-sabotage
bill.
The compromise provides for
five to 10 years imprisonment for
anyone who in peace-time wil
fully: 1. Makes defective war mater
ials; .2. Harms or destroys equipment
intended for the national defense;
J. Violently; interferes with the
movement of such material;
4. Participates in demoraliza
tion of the army or nation "with
intent of hurting national defense.
Bidault's original bill would
have punished anyone who, wil
fully or not, acted to "provoke,
aid or organize violent or concert
ed action with the purpose -or ef
fect" of sabotage. The new ver
sion spelled out what is meant by
sabotage. At present the law pro
vides death as the only penalty,
a provision which many courts
have refused to apply in minor
eases. ..

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia,
March 5-P)-Al American mis
sionaries, and presumably the
missionaries of other western na
tions, are going to be required
by Czechoslovakia "to leave at
a very early date," the United
States embassy has announced.
The number affected is unde
termined. The communist government ap
parently will act under provisions
of church laws enacted last fall,
which specify that all practicing
clergymen in the country must
be natives of Czechoslavakia,
swear allegiance to ; the govern
ment and receive the salaries from
the state.
"Many missionaries already have
been expelled in a general move
to restrict westerners in Czecho
slovakia.; Nineteen American
mormon missionaries have been
ousted in nine months, leaving
Wallace Toronto, the head of the
church here, as the only Ameri
can mormon .missionary in the
country. j
' ! shall go : too," Toronto said
today. "It's only 4 question now
of the., exact date. We are plan
ning the closing of our living
quarters March 31."

Truman's Request for Board to
Study Coal Industry Praised
- By Marvin L. Arrowsmlth
WASHINGTON, March 5-(P)-Lawmakers predicted today! that
congress will act swiftly to carry out President Truman's request for
a commission study of how to "restore the coal industry to economic
health." j
Mr: Truman recommended creation of an inquiry group to do the
job in his special message Friday asking for authority to seize the
coal mines. ?
The president shelved seizure
plans as soon as the United Mine
workers and a big group of coal
operators agreed on the basic
principles of a new contract Fri
day night. But he let it be known
he still wants the study commis
sion set up;
In his message, Mr. Truman said
it is a sick industry which "has
failed signally 'to solve its own
problems in the field of labor-
management relations." He said
that "recurrent breakdowns in the
industry are only symptoms of
profound and long standing eco
nomic and social difficulties in
which the industry has become in
volved." Asks Thorough Study
Mr. Tjruman said legislation to
authorize an inquiry commission
to make a thorough study of the
coal industry soon would be sub
mitted.
The senate already has a bill
providing for the same sort of
study the president outlined. Sen
ators Humphrey (D-Minn), Morse
(R-Ore) and Douglas (D-Ill) in
troduced it two days before Mr.
Truman's message came to con
. Humphrey said he had been told
that the administration bill will
be along substantially the same
lines as the one he and his two
colleagues have offered.
Clear Sailing Seen ..
MI think the plan will have clear
sailing in congress and it looks as
though it won't take long to get
it approved," Humphrey told a
reporter.
Senator Murray (D-Mont) said
word of opposition" to Mr. Tru
man's proposal. Murray called it
-an excellent idea.
The plan was praised in the sen
ate yesterday by Senator Ives (R
NY) generally regarded as a la
bor relations expert.
Declining Markets
Mr. Truman said management
in the coal industry is confronted
by declining markets, severe com
petition and the high cost of effi
cient, modern equipment. He said
that labor, on the r'- -
"arduous work, a harsh physical
environment, and uncertain work
year, and the prospect of Hewer
jobs."
Mr. Truman added that the
study commission should "exam
ine carefully and factually each
one of these conditions."
"We should then be able to de
termine what kinds of action and
what sorts of policies on the! part
of government, management.! and
labor will restore the coal indus
try to economic health and provide
a stable environment for contn'--tive
relationships between) the
operators and their employes."

called up for action at any time.

days are expected to be crucial
ones," Magnuson said. "I consider
unanimity among northwest sen

gives us strong hopes for success."

quest sent to the senate interior
and insular affairs committee by
Magnuson in pressing for approval
of the "comprehensive plan" of
Columbia basin development as a
part of the omnibus rivers and
harbors bill: ,

day your committee agreed to
act on the Columbia basin amend
ment to the omnibus rivers and
harbors bill at its regular meet
ing this coming Monday.
To Implement Plans

its recommended amendment to
your committee February 3. This
amendment is designed to imple
ment comprehensive plans for the
Columbia basin, developed by the
corps of engineers and the bureau
of reclamation and coordinated at
the president's request. '"
"This program is vital to me as
it involves the entire future re
source development of the Pacific
northwest As senator of that reg
ion, I respectively submit these
views on the amendment and pro
gram it embrace, and hope the
committee will concur .on Mon
day: "1. The administration amend
ment should be approved sub
stantially as submitted.

the Mountain Home (Idaho) pro
ject should be included.
