''Let's put on a real picket line a mass formation so no supervisors can get in," he said. The Transport Workers Union said its members picketed with the phone workers yesterday and would march with them again today.

Miss Edgar Bean, Kentucky president of the American Union of Telephone Workers, asked the group for support in picketing and for money. She added mass picketing was needed especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Local Unions to Support. The council urged its local unions to support the strike financially and by picketing. The resolution asking that the Southern Bell charter be revoked was based on the charge that by failing to bargain in good faith with the unions the company was not carrying out its obligation to give uninterrupted service to the public.

Senator Smith N. told the Senate: "In telling the people of Europe that the United States is committed to a ruthless imperialism and a war with the Soviet Union, he (Wallace) completely misunderstands the spirit and purpose and, yes, the very soul of his country." The House committee may finish its work orLthe $400,000,000 program today. The Senate may vote on the measure before the week is over. Wallace Is In London last night Wallace said in a broadcast interview carried by C.B.S that he was "somewhat surprised to learn that some Americans deny the right today of a private citizen to tell a friendly people how he feels." Wallace said: "As you all know, life is full of surprises. I have been somewhat surprised to learn that some Americans deny the right today of a -private citizen to tell a friendly people how he feels.

"A little over a year ago Winston Churchill told the Amer-American people how he felt. "The official policy of the British Government was to reach agreement on control of atomic weapons within the United Nations. Mr. Churchill, however, said that 'it would be criminal madness to share the knowledge and experience of atomic weapons with the United "Those of us who disagreed with his views certainly did not deny the right of this distinguished British citizen to speak out in the United States." While touring a British agricultural station earlier yesterday Wallace remarked, "It is beginning to look as if Britain is a freer country than the United States." Opposition leaders demanded in the House of Commons yesterday that the Labor Government explain why Wallace was granted time on the Government-controlled British radio to criticize the foreign policy of the United States. French to Be Discreet.

Writing from Paris, Harold Callender of The New York Times said he had learned that the French Government would "carefully avoid extending anything remotely resembling official honors to Wallace when he visits Paris about April 22." "Prime Minister Ramadier will not receive him officially or give a lunch for him as is often done for distinguished guests," Callender wrote.

Such a program will require additional revenue. I cannot, nor would -I, agree for the additional revenue required to be laid upon the backs of already overburdened sources so long as there are sources that may well, and without hurt, contribute to the necessities and general welfare of our people. A parimutuel tax will in no wise be inimical or prejudical to the racing or horse-breeding industry. Such a tax is part of the revenue structure of all other States wherein parimutuel systems are legalized. "Chancing one's judgment on a horse race is essentially a sport.

The White House attitude, as relayed by Ross, is that Wallace is touring Europe as a private citizen, speaking only for himself. Clark's rebuke, strong as it was for an ex-fellow Cabinet member, was no hotter than some others which have sounded in Congress. Rivers Offers Plan.

Representative Rivers S. submitted a resolution to put Congress on record as condemning Wallace's blasts and accusing him of having "rendered a grave disservice to the welfare of the United States." The proposal, which was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for study, also would serve notice to the world that "the ideas and opinions expressed" in Wallace's speeches "do not represent the views of the Congress." Senate Democratic leaders discussed a similar plan, but indicated they would not go ahead without Truman's personal approval. Some influential senators cautioned against action either by Congress or the President. They said that, "given enough rope," Wallace would "hang himself." Starr Attacks Wallace. Louis E.

Starr, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, visited the President, emerged with a blistering attack on Wallace, and told newsmen he had received "the impression that something is going to be done." The Senate continued its debate, with Senator Lucas 111.) complaining: "I think every senator has his mind made up, yet -here we go on, day after day, and delay the vote on one of the most important decisions ever to come before Congress." Senator Vandenberg presiding, said "that time pressure on us cannot be ignored," and added that further delay surely would mean "deterioration" of the situation abroad. Taylor Blocks Lewis. Senator Taylor an opponent of the program, blocked an attempt by Lucas to set a voting time of 1 p.m. today on the pending business. Representative Eaton N.

Water Company A Catlettsburg Is Denied Increase Frankfort, April 15 (JP) Thee Public Service Commission today denied the Catlettsburg, Kenova, Ceredo Water Company authority to raise rates for customers outside Catlettsburg. The commission ruled the Catlettsburg firm failed to offer sufficient evidence to boost the rates.

Under the company's proposal, residents within Catlettsburg would be charged a base rate of 75 cents a month and those outside the city $2 a month. This would be "discriminatory, unreasonable, and unjust," the commission said. The company sought the raise on grounds it is not making a sufficient return on its Kentucky investment and that the cost of serving customers outside Catlettsburg had resulted in losses. V.A.

"While I shall fully discuss the State's revenue system very soon, I want to make it unmistakably clear now that I shall sponsor and give vigorous leadership to adjustments in the: 1, intangible tax laws; 2. inheritance tax laws, and I shall advocate drastic reduction of intangible tax. By greatly reducing the intangible tax, we will be able to attract new investment capital and new industry in Kentucky as well as create an incentive for our present industry to expand and thereby provide new opportunity for labor.

"By this means. Kentucky can increase its total tax revenue through greater business activity and new industry. Through such a program we will be able to build a balanced economy. Adequate adjustment of intangible tax is the first step in this direction.

In his formal statement on the bill Hartley conceded that some dislocations might result from some of its provisions.

"But," he asked, "are we to be more concerned with some minor dislocations than with meeting John L. Lewis face to face and removing his power to bring the economy to a halt?" He charged that labor, under the Wagner Act, has been invaded by Communists, racketeers, and gangsters.

"If this bill passes," he predicted, "the strikes we will have will make those of last year look like a Sunday-school picnic." The only Democratic speaker favoring the bill was Representative Harden of North Carolina, who drew applause from like-minded Democrats with the assertion, "I refuse to let some disgruntled Democrats give all the credit for this bill to the Republicans and I refuse to stand here and let the Republicans claim it." Madden Attacks Measure. Other Democratic speakers attacked the bill on the grounds that it was hastily drawn," conceived in hate and hysteria," and a thinly veiled attempt to wreck the labor movement. Representative Madden a committee member, drew an admission from Representative Gwinn N. that one Theodore Iserman, identified as a New York corporation attorney, had conferred with majority members of the Labor Committee on the drawing of the bill after his public testimony. Madden, one of the six Democratic members of the committee who filed a vigorous attack, on the bill in a minority report, charged that the right to strike is so hedged In with administrative procedures in the bill that it is virtually lost.

He pointed out that the bill permits strikers to be replaced by employers. Once replaced, they no longer would be employees.

"Moreover, in addition to outlawing almost every conceivable type of strike, this bill would lead to shocking inequality of treatment as between employers who engage in certain undesirable practices on the one hand, and employees who do so on the other," he said. He referred to provisions of the Hartley bill which would expose union members to criminal penalties, treble damages, loss of employment, and other penalties for violations of certain of its provisions. "The vicious antilabor character of this bill is strikingly revealed in these portions," Madden said.

"By depriving workers of their right to strike, the bill would render them helptess in the face of an antiunion employer. This bill would permit the employer to dictate the terms of any collective-bargaining agreement, making a moeery of the collective-bargaining process." The 6 hours allotted for open debate on the bill will end tomorrow and the final reading of the bill will begin. During the reading of the 68-page document any member may interrupt at any time to offer and explain an amendment.

Unless bne of the four powers brings up the demilitarization pact again, the proposed treaty will be dead insofar as this session of the council is concerned. Marshall said the amendments put forward yesterday by Molo-tov would "usurp" powers belonging to the Allied nations as a whole. "Such amendments have no place in the kind of treaty proposed," the American Secretary added.

Britain and France had supported the United States treaty proposals in principle. Marshall declared that Russia had sabotaged enactment of any four-power pact to keep Germany demilitarized by attempting to insert "controversial matters" into the American version.
