Strike Vote Timing Up to Congress
Refuses to
Say Whether
It Is 'Must'
By NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (P) —
President Eisenhower said today
he is leaving up to congress
whether a workers’ strike vote
should be taken before or after
a walkout.
The president declined at his
news conference to say whether
he regards his proposal for a
strike vote as "must” legislation.
4 Cases Settled
In County Court,
Others Are Passed
Four criminal cases were dis-
posed of Wednesday morning in
Cooke county, but most of the
docket slated to be heard was
passed until a later date.
Mrs. Anna Mae Carr paid a
fine of $100 and costs of $23.95
on a plea of guilty to possession
of liquor for purpose of sale, and
J. L. Preston paid a $50 fine and
costs after pleading guilty to
driving on the wrong side of the
road.
Mrs. Patsy Ruth Washington
entered a plea of guilt to assault
with a motor vehicle and was
fined $31 and court costs.
Judge Shelby Fletcher ordered
a $100 cash bond put up by
James Washington McCain to be
forfeited when the latter failed
to appear on a charge of driving
while intoxicated.
Cases passed included: James
M. Culwell, and Paul Davjd
Fields, both charged with aggra-
vated assault with a motor ve-
hicle; Don Farmer, charged with
DWI; and Charlie Harp ole
charged with selling liquor in a
dry area.
Dismissed were cases against
Allen J. Knight for aggravated
assault. C. R. Lee for defrauding
by obtaining things of value with
a worthless check and Eldon
Biggs for possession of liquor for
purpose of sal.
A DWI count was dismissed
against Tom Fields Sparkman
and refiled as driving on the
wrong side of the road, and the
Draft Call for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (P —
The army today issued a draft
call for 18,000 men in March.
The March quota is the same
as that previously announced for
February, when the selective
service call was reduced from the
23,000 level maintained since last
July.
Including the March quota, 1,-
643,000 men have been drafted
or earmarked for involuntary
service since the resumption of
selective service in September,

Such a vote was among his rec-
ommendations he sent to con-
gress Monday in outlining a 14-
point program for revising the
Taft-Hartley Labor Relations Act.
In his special message, the pres-
ident phrased his strike-poll idea
in general terms. He said that
since going on strike and thus
losing pay is so important to the
individual worker, he should have
a chance to “express his choice
by secret ballot held under gov-
ernment auspices.”
This left it unclear whether
the president had in mind a poll
taken before a walkout or after
the workers were on strike.
Reporters were primed with
questions on this uncertainty
when Eisenhower met with them.
First off, the president was
asked to clarify whether the
strike ballot system he proposed
was intended to apply before a
strike could begin.
Elsenhower declined to give a
direct answer.
He said in making the recom-
mendation he was trying to estab- •
lish a principle—that he carefully
avoided spelling out exact details
because that is the province of
congress.
The president added he would
accept anything along this line
that looked to be the most prac-
tical and feasible under the cir-
cumstances.
Eisenhower declined, also to
say whether he regards any of
his Taft- Hartley proposals as
“must” legislation.
He declared he is going to fight
for his entire legislative program
but he said he is not going to
decide at this time which parts
of it are the most and the least
important.
In practice, most unions poll
their members before striking, al-
though there are some excep-
tions.
Confusion arose when Chair-
man H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ)
of the senate Labor committee
introduced legislation to carry
out the Eisenhower program —
and his bill provided that the gov-
ernment-supervised vote be taken
after the strike had begun.
This apparently caught Secre-
tary of Labor Mitchell by sur-
prise. He told newsmen he hadn’t
understood it was to work that
way.
A well-informed administration
source said the strike poll idea
was put forward by Secretary of
Commerce Weeks at the sugges-
tion of management groups and
written into the Smith bill at the
White House. Weeks could not be
reached for comment.

He did not release the text of
the Red note, but paraphrased it
this way: “(The Reds) agree to a
meeting ... to agree on the date
for political discussions regard-
ing a political (peace) confer-
ence." s r
When asked later about the ab-
sence of the word “conditions” in
the paraphrase. Young said the
latest Red note did not mention
“conditions,” but only the time
of the meeting.
Peiping radio said earlier the
Communist liaison officers were
prepared to discuss only the date
and not conditions for resuming
the preliminary talks. Peiping
said:
“The only condition required to
reopen the discussion is that the
Americans come back to the con-
ference table. There can be no
other condition . . .” I
The Allied note to the Reds did
not give any details of what con-
ditions would be discussed.
When U. S. Ambassador Arthur
Dean broke off the preliminary’
talks in December after six weeks
of haggling, he said he would not
meet with the Reds again unless
they retracted a charge of Ameri-
can' “perfidy” (treachery).
