Canadian Troops Greet New Year With Action

raft . Says Ban On Labor Bargaining - May Be Necessary

NEW YORK, Jan. 1 - (AP) -- Seiiator Robert A. Taft (Rep. Ohio) -ays he doesn't favor a ban on in- dustry-wide bargaining, but says it might become necessary unless means are found to cope with na- tional strikes.

Tait, in an interview with Fort- ime Magazine published today. said "it. would be almost; impossible" to enforce such a ban, and "rlght now, I don't think I'd propose lt." But he added:

"If all other remedies fall in dealing with nation-wide strikes, then we might have to'tlry some- thing like that."

Taft said he hopes to keep in- tact the basic features of the Tar?- Hartley labor law. and see how t.hey work imder the new Repub- lican administration. But he wants certain changes. -

Leading Labor ltole

Taft. who has played a leading l'(llE in guiding his party's labor uolicies, said he wants to preserve Taft-Hartley's provision for an 80- day no-strike injunction in emer- gency disputes.

To deal with such disputes not :9i.iiCd in the 80 days, he said Con- ares: should enact special legisla- tion "on the spot."

"It might provide for seizure, an- other injunction or arbitration -- or Congress might decide not to do nn,vt.hing." he said. "But whatever ii did would be tailored to the needs of the case. and the possibility of enormous government powe-is would be off the books as soon as the strike had ended." ,

Taft said such strikes. lmnerilllnz the national safety, aren't usual 'llLVl1OW. .

Favors Right To Strike

"Personally. I'm in favor of the rlclll to strike in a free economy," he said, "The newspapers holler ii-.eir heads off that people are suf- feriiirz. Usually, they're not suffer- .i:., real in; '3' is still a threat,"

He said ma.iv people feel it's the ::mernineiit's duty to settle strikes. but if it starts tampering with u-woes. it must tamper with prices, and "rims the end of free oom- pelitioii "

"A lot of inconvenience is justi- IlP(l to pirrriit that from happen- iillt.” lic Kalil. "Of course there hr! .-nme rml emergencies. and then ,r1li'l'r' ml to try the injunction."

OTTAWA. Jan. 1 -(CP) - A tradition dating back to the early days of New France today was continued by Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, Canada's first native-born Governor-General. '

Mr. Massey held the Governor- General's New Year's Day levee in the stately Senate Chamber. There he met representatives of the gov- ernment, the judiciary, the diplo- matic corps, the armed forces and people in all walks of life.

The levee was the first for Mr. Massey. appointed last spring to succeed Lord Alexander, now Britain's defence minister.

Some historians have traced the levee back to the days when Can- ada was a French colony. Each New Year's Day the French gov- ernor would hold open house for all male settlers in the new colony.

Others state the levee dates back to the old French court when

kings, on arising. allowed male friends into their chambers to help them don their royal attire.

Acting Prime Minister Howe headed the 1,007 persons who shook hands with Mr. Massey at the hour-loiig ceremony. Prime Minister St. Laurent. spent the holiday with his family in Quebec.

Mayor Charlotte Whitton, who once protested against the ap- polntment of a Canadian as gov- ei-nor-General, was one of the few women allowed to attend the nor- mally all-male function. She curtsled to Mr. Massey and ex- tended the best wishes of the sea- SOH. .

Only oher women allowed to at.- tend the function were officer- members of the armed forces.

After greeting Mr. Massey. the guests moved to the spacious rail- way committee room of the Com- mons where light refreshments were served.

Union Chiefis Message To Churchill Protested

LONDON. Jan. 1 -4C-P)- An- noyed British socialists sounded some loud protests today against union chief Tom O'Brien's God- speed message to Prime Minister Churchill.

But O'Brien stuck to his guns- he insisted Americans should know Britain is politically united.

The Presdent of the Trades Union Congress told reporters he -was well within his rights in send- ing Churchill the best wishes of British workers as the conserv- ative leader sailed Wednesday for talks with Pesident-elect Eisen- O'Brlen. whose organlzaholn has more thana8.0tl0,000 members. said ”The only people who will protect will be the Communists."

OlBrien's telegram to Churchill. who now is on the high seas in the liner Queen Mary. lauded "your courageous mission" and added "you carry with you the good will of the workers of Britain and the Commonwealth."

A Labor Party source said Labor members of Parliament as well as TUC leaders "are a bit embarras- sed" over the message because it is being widely construed as imply- ing socialist support for the Con- servative Party leader.-

A TUC source said leaders of the big union also fear the British public may interpret the message as meaning TUC support for Churchillian policies.

The source said the O'Brien message will "almost without doubt" be on the agenda, of the TUC's next general council ses- sion Jan. 28, and added "when I TU-C official sets a precedent like that. on a mailer verging so close to policy. he can hardly expect not to be challenged."

O'Brien said the message was necesary. not because it was Mr. Churchill. but because no Prime Minister of Britain ought to go to the United States to discuss eco- nomic matters affecting Britain. the Commonwealth and America without his knowing-and the American people knowing-that he speakes not only for the Tory Party but for British workers."
