Go-ahead Is Expected On Senate
Rewriting Of Bricker Proposal
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON IfU-Prwident Ei
••hhower may give congressional
leaders a go-ahead signal today for
ttfoiti to rewrite in the Senate
the Bricker proposal to curb treaty
powers.
Sea. Knowtaed (R-Calif) said in
advance cl a White House confer
•net he expects to announce later
the course to be followed by the
leadership on the controversial
measure now technically before the
Senate for debate.
It was obvious, however, that
the fadnre of Sen. Ferguson of!
Michigan, hud of the GOP Policy
Committee, to agree with Sen.!
Bricker (R-Obio) on the terms of
a compromise at a muting yester-j
day left GOP leaders only the al
ternative of fighting the issue out
before the Senate.
Ferguson said he had not given
up hope for a compromise, but he
said he had no new talk scheduled
with tho*Ohioan.
Bricker has proposed that the
Constitution be amended so that
“a treaty shall become effective
as internal law in the United States
only through - legislation which
would be valid in the absence of
treaty.”
Eisenhower has said this would
permit states to repudiate treaties,
an assertion Bricker said was “er
roneous.”
Knowland and Ferguson have
prepared a substitute under which
treaties made> “pursuant” to the
Constitution would become the su
preme law of the land. They sal4
this would open treaties to court
review of their constitutionality, if
their internal effects were chal
lenged.
Already approved by the State
and Justice departments, this sub
stitute needs Eisenhower’s personal
oksy before its Introduction, which
would signal the end of efforts
to compromise with Bricker on
the controversial points of his pro
posal.
II and when the substitute is
offered, Republican leaders hope
it also will bear the names of
some Democrats to give it a bi
partisan flavor. However, a Demo
cratic leader who didn’t want to be
quoted by name said he is inclined
to let the Republicans fight the
issue out among themselves.
The debate, due to get under
way tomorrow, is likely to take
several weeks.
Today’s Senate session was de
voted to consideration of more than
150 presidential nominations, and
to the mutual security treaty with
South Korea. No major opposition
to the treaty was in sight.
The house has little business on
tap lor the wqak, but may reach
a Vote on a'Justice Department
proposal to permit evidence ob
tained by Wiretapping to be used
In trials.
Permanjht
B lood Bank
Established
The ■Vavy in Key West establish
ed a permanent Blood Bank at the
Naval Hospital recently in an ef
fort to provide naval personnel and
their dependents with a readily
available supply of whole blood.
All naval activities in the Key
West area will participate in the
Blood Bank on a voluntary basis.
When specific types of blood are
needed, contact will be made from
available list of volunteers.
In the past, only six to ten pints
of Mood a week has been needed
to meet surgical and emergency
needs. The maximum amount of
blood needed is not expected to
exceed more than SOO pints a year.
Each week the type of blood and
quantity needed will be announced,
so that volunteer donors can submit
their names to their individual
command.
A Naval Base instruction im
plementing the program, requests
that activities having volunteer
blood donars contact the Base San
itation Officer at the Naval Sta
tion, Extension 340.
The following men volunteered to
open the bank with a pint of their
blood: Lt. C. H. Cushman, USS
Archerfish; A. T. Guido, QMSN,
USS PCS 1386; P. W. Hanson,
DM3, USS Bushnell; A. G. Goto,
ME3, USS Bushnell; A. G. Kauf
man, SN, NavSta Annex; G. A.
Nundahl,, ME2„ USS Gilmore; D.
Frew, YN3, Naval Station; C. J.
Richardson, PFC, Marine Bks.;
and H. D. Barraciough, HMI, Na
val Station.
Several activities have volunteer
ed to donate blood when end at
such a time as it may be needed.:
Every Thursday various activi
ties will be asked to volunteer one
or two donors. Usually not more!
than 10 pints will be needed each
week. This Mood will be drawn at
the Naval Hospital on Friday at
• a. m. It will be appreciated if
activities having volunteer donors
will contact the Base Sanitation
Officer at the Naval Station, Ext.;
140.

Senate Labor
Group Gills
See. Mitchell
By ROWLAND EVANS JR.
WASHINGTON W>-The Senate
i Labor Committee, tom by dissen
sion between Republican and Dem
jocratic members, today summoned
Secretary of Labor M'tcheQ as the
(first witness in bearings on Presi
dent Eisenhower’s 14 proposed re
visions of the Taft-Hartiey law.
Mitchell was certain to face
searching interrogation from Dem
ocrats and from Republican Sen.
Ives of. New York over Eisen
hower’f recommendation that the
government conduct a secret poll
of employes whenever a labor dis
pute enters the strike stage.
In a speech two weeks ago,
Mitchell indicated he wanted Con
gress to give special study to this
proposal. The other 13 points in
Eisenhower’s program, he said,
should speedily be enacted into
law.
The committee, headed by Sen.
H. Alexander Smith CR-NJ), was
split wide open last week when
Democrats refused to consent to
a vote on Eisenhower’s nomination
of Albert C. Beeson to the National
Labor Relations Board, which ad
ministers the Tsft-Hartley law.
Smith charged his Democratic col
leagues with “filibustering” and
with attempting to embarrass
Eisenhower.
Sen. Lehman (D*Lib-NY), sup
ported by the other five committee
Democrats, countered angrily
there was no such intention. He
said Democrats were not yet satis
fied that Beeson was qualified for
the job.
Mitchell became secretary of
labor last fall, after former Secre
tary Martin P. Durkin, president
of the AFL Plumbers Union, quit
in a public dispute with Eisen
hower over Taft-Hartiey amend
ments.
Smith introduced a bill in the
Senate touching in all 14 points.
The measure, calling for a vote
after a strike had started, would
provide that unless, a. majority
favor Continuing the strike, it
“shall cease to be a protected,
concerted activity within the
meaning of this act”
Every committee Democrat has
indicated unwillingness to adopt
any such provision, whether the
vote were held before or after a
strike starts. And Ives termed it
“unworkable” and a “direct swat”
at labor leaders.
Senators Purtell (R-Conn) and
Goldwater (R-Ariz) say they favor
bolding the strike vote before a
strike actuallystarts, not after
wards.
Smith said last night In a CBS
radio-television interview he is not
“wedded to” either a post Strike or
prestrike vote, but is “wedded tb
exploring whether the secret hattot
is being properly observed in the
.unions” and if not what could be
done legislatively about it.
I The committee may drop the
idea if its hearings develop no
need for it, he said.
Organized excavations of Pom
peii which was burned under vol
canic asb in 79 A. D. were started

Harry Houdini
The life story of Harry Houdini,
the greatest daredevil of ail time
and certainly the most fabulous
personality of his era, has intrigued
motion picture producers for two
decades. Now George Pal has
made this fantastic man’s life story!
into a dazzling, amazing Techni
color film. Entitled “Houdini,” and
‘released by Paramount, to open to-'
morrow at the Islander Theatre.!
[ Starring Tony Curtis as Harry
Houdini and Janet Leigh as his
[wife Bess, with Term Thatcher as
[the famous escape artist’s loyal as
sistant, the film picks up young
Houdini doing a double act as a
magician and a wild man in a New
York street sideshow. In walks
less and Houdini promptly falls in
lave with her. After a brief, tender
aad often hilarious courtship they
am married.
, The two then barnstorm across
the country with Bess becoming
jpart of her husband’s magic act
However, playing hookytonks and
rattle-trap theatres soon becomes
jtoo much for Bess and she per
suades Harry to give up show bus
iness and get an “honest” job. Jiv
ing his wife dearly, Houdini agrees.
Later, tire amazing young mac’s
career takes anew twist when he
startles a group of the nation’s top
magakians by miraculously escap
ing from a strait jacket at a na
tional convention. From then on
out-there is no stopping him.
They. sad for Europe where he
becomes an'overnight sensation by
freeing himself from Scotland
Yard’s “escape-proof” cell. From
this high point his European suc
cesses mount, culminating in Ger

Retunnng to America he becom

ping his career with a thrilling es
cape from a trunk' at the bottom
of the ice-jammed Detroit River.
:This latter episode, as others de
picted in the film, made headline
news not too many years ago.
Although the spotlight is on the
suspense generated as Houduy il
lustrates his extraordinary agility
in escaping from manacles, strait
jackets and other seemingly es
cape proof incarcerations, there is
engendered in Houdini's life story
a wonderful and tender tale of love.
