STRIKE PENALTIES ARE FAVORED BY Washington, Oct. 30 (U.R) The House Military Affairs com mittee today approved legisla tion to penalize labor unions for striking in violation of contract. The bill also would reneal strike-vote and federal plant seizure provisions of the Smith Connally anti-strike law. In ap proving the legislation, the com mittee in effect rewrote the Smith-Connally act. In addition to proposing penal ties for striking In violation of contract, the bill would extend the current ban against political contributions by corporations and labor unions to cover prim aries as well as elections involv ing candidates for federal office. The new provisions were of fered by Rep. Leslie C. Arends, R., 111., who told reporters they did not constitute "labor bait ing." Arends said he thought the new political contributions ban would apply to the CIO political action committee. Under the provision, he said, such an or ganization could not "make any contributions, expend any sums, aid in solicitation of funds or levy any assessments" on mem bers of affiliates for any prim ary or general election or poli tical convention. In the lost campaign, the CIO-PAC suspend ed funds solicitation after the primaries. Another organiza tion, the National Citizens' Ptc, carried on, however.
