Defects in Taft-Hartley Bill to Be Corrected
St. Louis—U (R.)—President Eisenhower told the American Federation of Labor today he will send to Congress next January recommendations to correct "a number of defects" in the Taft-Hartley labor law.
Ike, Adlai Talks To Be'Pleasant'
Washington — (UP)— Administration insiders predicted today that the Oct. 1 meeting between President Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevenson will produce what the diplomats call "a pleasant exchange of views."
Officials in the know saw little possibility of a brass-tacks argument on foreign policy. Mr. Stevenson, just back from a world tour which led him to new criticism of the Eisenhower administration, will do most of the talking. The President primarily will be a listening post.
Mr. Stevenson is expected to outline his findings and opinions and the President will accept them as coming from the titular head of the Democratic party. Both men are too urbane and expert in personal dealings to get to the level of strong face-to-face differences.
This will be the second meeting between the two men since Mr. Eisenhower defeated the former Illinois governor and 1952 Democratic presidential nominee.
Before Mr. Stevenson left on his around-the-world tour in the early summer, he lunched with the President who invited him to come back to the White House after the journey and report.
Mr. Stevenson returned in late August and there was immediate speculation that he would fly to the Denver summer White House to talk to the President before making a radio and television report to the nation.
It later developed that shortly before Mr. Eisenhower left Denver, he wrote a letter to Mr. Stevenson suggesting that a meeting be arranged in Washington after the President returned.
Yesterday, the White House telephone Mr. Stevenson's office and suggested lunch at the White House Oct. 1. The date was arranged immediately.

1. To remedy defects which caused concern on the part of workers over possible uses of the act to the detriment of their welfare.
Mr. Eisenhower said in a message to the AFL national convention that he believes the controversial act is essentially sound but needs revisions.
Mr. Eisenhower said the loss of the "wealth of knowledge and experience" of Durkin, who has returned to his post as president the university he considered unfortunate by me and by every member of the committee."
It was over the issue of recommendations to the Taft-Hartley act that Martin P. Durkin quit Mr. Eissler's cabinet as Secretary of Labor.
2. To insure efficient, speedy, and impartial administration of the law.
3. To permit healthy growth of labor unions, "while respecting the legitimate rights of individual workers and their employers and the general public."
The President listed four objectives of the administration's "critical study" of the Taft-Hartley law:
Mr. Eisenhower's message was read to the AFL convention by Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
Mr. Eisenhower said that he believes that enactment of the Taft-Hartley act was a "substantial contribution to the quest for sounder labor-management relations." But he conceded that the past six years have "revealed a number of defects which should be corrected."
Mr. Eisenhower's message was sent to the federation amid contradictory statements by Mr. Durkin and the White House over whether Mr. Eisenhower ever had approved 19 proposed changes in the Taft-Hartley law.
In his message, Mr. Eisenhower did not deal directly with the controversy.
4. To lessen government "interference" in labor-management affairs.

$ The first project completed after school ended last spring was the California Trail marker south of the circle on West Campus drive which was built by the building and grounds department. The marker was finished in late June.
The largest project now is the Science building, which is due to be finished by March, Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said today.
The B. A. Green Construction company of Lawrence is the contractor.
"Right now," Mr. Lawton said, "workmen are pouring floor topping. The building was scheduled to be completed by March, 1854, but I would say now that work is progressing just a bit ahead of schedule."
The Green Hall library stack addition, which is now in use, was finished in late July. When school closed in June, the job was about 75 per cent completed.
THE KANSAS CITY STAR
"The Wardlow Roofing company of Topeca is about 99 per cent finished with its roof repair on Fraser hall," Mr. Lawton said. "The tinnining is done, so all that remains is a bit of cleaning up work."
Work on the installation of air conditioning in Watkins Memorial hospital is approximately three-fourths over, and yesterday morning pilings for the foundation of the new Douthart hall were poured by the Constant Construction company of Lawrence.

McCarthy to Quiz Army Book Author
Washington—(U)P.)-Sen. Joseph R, McCarthy said today his Senate Permanent Investigating Subcommittee will question author Corliss Lamont in closed session in New York today about use of his works by the Army for indoctrinating troops.
McCarthy said one or more of Lamont's works on Russia has been used by the military in training courses.
The author, member of a wealthy New York family, has been accused of Communist activity in past congressional hearings. He has denied he was ever a member of the Communist party. The subcommittee has been looking into possible Red influence on materials used by the military to provide background information about Russia.
Changes in addresses and phone numbers for the Student Directory should be made at the Registrar's office by Wednesday afternoon, Jack Elvig, engineering junior, editor said.
