Aide | Says Miss Bertha S. Adkins, as- 1 sistant to the chairman of the j Republican National Committee, told the New York State Repub lican dinner meeting last night j that Federal workers are getting j to work a half hour earlier since the new administration took over. Miss Adkins said that em- j ployes also waste less time on i “coffee hours.” A check by The Star shows that Federal employes are still i working an eight-hour day and most personnel officials say they are not aware that employes are starting the day any earlier. Some agencies, however, have staggered their work hours to ease traffic problems and this may account for some workers starting the day earlier and leaving a little earlier, the officials said. Recently, Senator Bridges, Re publican, of New Hampshire said that a survey showed that Washingtons peak morning traffic was moving 21 minutes New long-lasting lipstick WON’T SMEAR OFF —Stays On-and On-and On!- Won’t Smear Off Won’t Smear Off WHEN YOU KISS!

However, a story appeared in the New York Times several weeks ago quoting some unidentified private contractors working on a road in Virginia, as stating that j traffic in this area moved 21 | minutes earlier in the morning than before. James C. Kagerty, White House press secretary, was asked today about Miss Adkins’ state ment under the new administra tion. He said he had never heard of any survey. Regarding coffee breaks. Fed eral officials say that employes are probably taking less time time before, because they don’t want to antagonize their new bosses. The only agencies that have banned morning coffee hours are the Navy Department, the Bureau of Public Debt in Treasury Department and some units of the Justice Department. Eisenhower (Continued From First Page.) truculent, but it must be firm and strong.” Speaking from notes, the Pres ident said the Nation’s domestic program is tied in closely with its foreign policy and .he re ferred specifically to foreign trade, which has stirred some G. O. P. friction over tariffs. Urging an ever-expanding and liberal trade policy, Gen. Eisen hower’ said this country must have outlets for its surpluses and other nations “must be capable of buying our goods.” Police estimated that some 400,000 persons in all saw the President, at the dinners and in shuttling along New York streets between the two mid-Manhattan hotels. The G-. O. P. dinners gave him a roaring reception and inter rupted his talks often with ap plause. He was introduced both times by New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who declared the people have been yearning for years for a “woodshed honesty in Gov ernment” and "at last they have it.” Truce Could Be Sham, Bedell Smith Warns ty th« Asiociotcd Pratt PHILADELPHIA, May B.—Wal ter Bedell Smith, Undersecretary of State, said today a Korean truce would be “a delusion and a sham” if it simply gave Asian Communists freedom for new ag gression, as in Indo-China. In a prepared address to the World Affairs Council, Gen. Smith said: •‘That is why we are especially concerned now with the Commu nist attack on Laos in Indo- China. '• “It seems to me that Korea and Indo-China can be regarded as the flanks of our defense against Communist expansion in Asia. “We are in close contact with the governments of Laos and of France and are determined to do all in our means under present circumstances to help them meet the situation.” Gen. Smith quoted from Pres ident Eisenhower’s major foreign policy speech last month to make the point that the United States thinks a Korean armistice should mean an end to Red at tacks on Indo-China and Malaya as well as to the fighting in Korea. Hearings on Taft Act Near End; Revisions Likely to Be Asked The House Labor Committee! was ending more than 12 weeks j of hearings on revision of the Taft-Hartley Act today with the National Labor Relations Board defending itself against charges of bias in administering the law. Chairman McConnell said his committee will go into executive j session in about a week to write a bill amending the labor-man agement law. He indicated the committee will propose exten sive revision of the six-year-old statute. Attacked by Employers. The NLRB was accused by several employers and employer groups during the hearings of pro-labor bias in administering and interpreting Taft-Hartley. Most of the charges were leveled against members of the board’s regional and field staff. The board also was frequently ac cused of being too slow in han dling unfair labor practice cases. | George J. Bott, board general | counsel, in charge of the field! staff, hotly denied the chargesj of bias. Mr. Bott described as simply “untrue” the charge of an j Idaho employer that board rep resentatives talked only to union officials in processing an “unfair” charge against his company. May Ask Revisions. Among other things, the com mittee may propose in its bill an extensive change in the whole NLRB setup. Several committee members favor abolition of the present board and the creation of another agency to administer , Taft-Hartley. The committee hearings are among the longest on record. Mr. McConnell said 150 wit nesses had been heard and others had placed statements in the record, which now totals about 2.5 million words. « The Senate Labor Committee concluded similar hearings last, week, and is about to tackle the job of writing a bill to revise the labor law.
