PENNSYLVANIA New Proposals For T-H Law WASHINGTON, May 21 (p)— Chairman H. Alexander Smith (R -NJ) of the Senate Labor Commit tee made public today a score of proposed changes in the Taft- Hartley law. Smith declared the program was prepared by the staff of the committee. He insisted it was riot "a Republican program," but con ceded that in discussions preced ing the drafting Republicans on the committee endorsed at least some of the proposals. Smith said the program would be the committee "work sheet'? when it gets down to consideration of actual amendments to the T-H law next week. One major change in the pro pctsed amendments would return to the-states the power to regulate strikes, lockouts and picketing, no matter ' what the federal law might say on those subjects. This would :upset . two Supreme Court decisions involving Wiscon sin and Michigan labor laws. It would throw out the doctrine that the federal law must take prece dence over any conflicting state law in the regulation of strikes, lockouts or picketing_ and would vastly increase the power of states to handle labor disputes. ;•;1 - 3;.-I,t , 144 ; ylstex4ay i ul les ;,l'„ t. ±ke7:7l-0.44.

"MY COUSIN RACHEL" Claudy Resigns As Western Pen Head PITTSBURGH, May 21 (JP)—Charges and countercharges over responsibility for last January's riots at Western State Penitentiary and Rockview Prison were climaxed today with disclosure of the resignation of Warden Dr. John W. Claudy. • The announcement came while an Allegheny County grand jury met at the bleak Western Penitentiary to hear testimony on 80 Dr. Claudy revealed his resig nation shortly after a report by Gov. John S. Fine's special in vestigating committee criticized the warden's administration. He called the timing of his resigna tion and .the report coincidental. A loyal subordinate, state execu tioner Frank L. Wilson quit as soon as he heard his boss had resigned. • Accompanying Dr. Claudy's disclosure was a letter to Fine from the Western State Peniten tiary board of trustees answer ing, point-by-point, the criticisms of the committee. Dr. Claudy, a 63-year old Pres byterian minister, will retire June 30, two months before completing his third year on the job. The investigating committee's report had recommended that all eight Pennsylvania penal insti tutions be transferred from the Welfare to the Justice Depart ment. It also rapped Dr. Claudy's ad ministration for poor food hand ling, haphazard work assignments for prisoners, bad security regu lations and unsanitary premises. At Rockview Prison, execu tioner Wilson resigned after 4 years. Wilson said he had wanted to quit three years ago, but re mained on the job only out of loyalty to Dr. Claudy. Dr. Claudy first entered prison work in 1932 when former Gov. Gifford Pinchot named him sup erintendent at Rockview. He served there until September, 1950, when he was appointed war den at Western Penitentiary and Rockview. Governor to . Speak At Boctisburg Shrine HARRISBURG, May 21 (iP)— Gov. John S.

But Peiping's Red radio, anticipating the plan's presentation next week at •Pan munjom, sounded a sour note. The authoritative Allied sources, otherwise unidentified, said the revised plan—born out of long range consultations with Allies— possibly would be offered on a "now or never" basis. The Pan munjom talks will be resumed Monday. Peiping Red radio, still insist ing the Allies Were to blame for the deadlock - over the prisoner exchange issue, said reports of a revised plan amounted to "propa ganda deception."
