Wd July 21, 1354 , Solbns Fear Bargaining May if By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON A House labor:. subcommittee said Tuesday business ventures operated by rich unions or anion leaders may turn collective bargaining with employ ers into "an empty farce." The group said in a report that .employers by law . are allowed' to resist union demands but if a union operates a competing business, the combined pressure could mount, so "the employer may well have no choice but to yield. - The subcommittee, summing up testimony of hearings held last year at Detroit, recommended that the ull Labor Committee meet promptly to cite two witnesses for contempt of Congress for refusing Planners Back Increases in Sewer City ordinances seeking to In crease sewer rentals and sewer connection fees won approval of the Salem Planning, Commission Tuesday night and were referred to the city council for possible fu ture action. Council members, however, in a Joint meeting with the Planning ' Commission last night made it plain they would want more time ' to study the ordinances. Introduced at the last, council meeting the measures call for a $150 sewer hook-up fee (now there is only a $4.50 inspection charge) and an increase in sewer' rental fee from 65 cents per month to $1 for dwellings and establishing a minimum commercia' rate of $1 per month plus a few cents more on volume cf water used. " A resolution seeking to increase water rates was not passed on to the city council by the Planning Commission, but was tetained in ' the Commission ' hopper for pos sible further study. In a lengthy discussion several counciimen expressed themselves in doubt as to the wisdom of at tempting to increase water rates or, for that matter, sewer rates. Others indicated it was neces sary to obtain more revenue, vit ally needed, to ease the burden of annexing new areas to the city. In other action .Tuesday night the Planning Commission approved an application of C L.. Standish , to install curb sidewalks on the south side of Columbia street be tween North Fifth -street and Broadway, - and delayed the re quedt Vc$?

Edward G. .Robinson Jr. and his father had been estranged for a while after the youth's marriage at the age of 19, but it was the father who supplied $10,000 bail to gain the youth's release from jail. The elder Robinson said he is behind his boy "100 per cent" and described the arrest as "fantastic a case of mistaken identity." Young Robinson .and a writer friend. Hick P. Dee, 38, were picked up at nearby Chatsworth early Tuesday and jailed. Robin son was booked on suspicion of robbery on the complaints of two cab drivers. Police said cab driver Michael Joseph Piascik told them he was struck and robbed of $27 last June 25 and driver Harry Chernack said he was held up and robbed of $11 July 2. - Sgt Roy Bowen said Robinson was arrested on identifications made by the taxi drivers. Dee was arrested on suspicion of writing checks without sufficient funds. Young Robinson, who has been jailed three times on drunkenness charges in recent months, told re porters: "I can't understand why they picked me up. I never owned a gun."

"no one has - found out yet how the Indochinese people feel about it". Bunche. who worked out the peace between the Arabs and the Jews, expressed surprise about toe concern over the possibility of Red China's being admitted to the U.N. He . said the situation is no different than it was at other times when Red China was denied admission and that the issue cannot be a live one until there is a Korean settlement.- Stolen Car Recovered A 1951 Chevrolet sedan, stolen Monday night from the residence of its owner, Ben F.

Congress intended that this be so. . "But we do not believe that Con gress intended an unethical use of union power-and authority. And we seriously question the ethics of the various business arrangements which we recount here." . .The ' subcommittee said it was "urgent", that Congress investigate fully union handling of rich em ployer paid welfare funds and also the extent of union business competition with employers with whom the union bargains. To Supervise IndochinaVote (Story also on page one.) GENEVA (ff) An Indochina armistice agreement was signed here, early Wednesday between French and Vietminh officials. The cease-fire divides the coastal state of -Viet Nam. In Viet Nam, the . two sides agreed, all Vietnamese elections will be conducted under a neu tral supervision team composed of India, Canada'and Poland, within one to two years. Representatives of the rival Viet Nam regimes. Ho Chi-Minh's Com munist government in the north and the Bao Dai administration in the pro-Western South, are to con fer on picking the date and manner of these elections. , Civilians on either side of the partition line will have a year to decide which section they want to live in. The military partition line is thus in theory a temporary one, but i te' -1 i -.9 il. mosi outuais nere couceae wis probably -will become a political and ideological frontier similar to East-West borders in Germany and Korea. The American delegation, wit nessed the signing for the United States. The ceremony climaxed - three months of .tedious negotiations here, including a " month-long furious race against time by French Premier Pierre Mendes France who had said be would re sign if he failed to obtain an arm istice by July 20. The premier ran over his time limit a few hours but this was a mere technicality. The signing fol lowed a meeting that stretched into the early hours of the morning. The, agreements had been vir tually completed Tuesday night Part of the delay was because of time needed to prepare texts of the agreements and check their translations. At the end of the ceremony, the members of the French group stood- and shook hands among themselves as if to congratulate themselves and their premier on making his deadline.
