Mc Connell (R-Pa) said Tuesday that Congress, in agreement with Pres ident Eisenhower, wants to guar antee union members full value for money invested in their wel fare funds. McConnell, chairman of the House Labor Committee, said this is the main reason a special sub committee he also heads is con ducting hearings on welfare fund operations. Eisenhower has suggested that Congress enact safeguards for such funds, estimated to exceed 30 billion dollars in value. Subcommittee members said they were "astounded" at testi mony Monday showiJg an insur ance firm and a brafer got more than twice as much money out of health insurance policies lis .the union members received. "II somebody didn't get a mink eoat out of that one, he certainly was a sucker," commented Rep, Weir D-Minn), The Insurance broker, Earl Lie- ver m Keaaing.

Yoshida Faces Tough Battle - TOKYO Wl Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, embroiled in the political battle of his life, spoke at the meeting of a hostile Diet Tuesday but made no mention of jus plans to meet the boiling crisis raai wreatens to topple his six. year administration. Instead, the 76-year-old premier called on the Japanese to put their economic and political-house in order. He warned that Communism was trying to infiltrate Asian countries, and said Japan should make "sincere efforts for econo mic independence and friendly co-operation with world nations." The speech threw politicians here Into a turmoil. They had expected Yoshida to outline his plans to deal with the two-pronged political drive to oust him from office. Jeers and catcalls greeted the appearance of the prime minister. Hoots from the left and right opposition seats drowned out portions of his speech. There were cries of "sit down" from the opposition, and "shut up" from Yoshida supporters aimed at the tormentors. Some observers saw the speech as striking a nationalistic tone, an appeal for votes at home rather than favor abroad. But nearly every one of Yoshida's critics both his own Conservative camp and Socialists attacked the speech and called anew for his resignation. Yoshida appeared to be attempt ing to counter strong sentiment at home to improve trade relations with neighbors Russia and Red China by adopting a neutral international tone.
