NEW YORK, Sept. 27 GN.SO :
Mayor LaGuardia put the city's
trucking industry on a warlike
footing today, following flat re-
lection by the employers Of his
compromise proposal to end the
paralyZing strike.
Mobilizing an emergency fleet
of 800 sanitation trucks, the
mayor prepared to keep materials
considered essential to industry
rolling as the strike approached
a stalemate because of the own
ers refusal to negotiate further.
LIKE ARMED CAMPS
While a majority of the $4,000
striking teamsters assembled in
Mecca Temple, to ratify the
mayors proposal which, in the
main, called for a 44-hour work
ing week at the scale now paid
for At hours, city hall took on the
aspect of an armed camp.
The mobilization of the city
owned trucks covered every inch
of space in the plaza fronting
city hall and in the streets ad-
joining. Field headquarters was
established on the city hall port
leo, with an emergency police
headquarters set up at one end
and the department of sanitation
men, who will direct the carting
of freight, at the other.
PROMISES REAL FLEET
A citizens committe represent
ing various trade and business
organizations was split into four
groups, to expedite the movement
of merchandise.
The mayor declared he would
have so more trucks in his emer-
gency fleet before the day is out.
Through an a gree m e n with
the International Brotherhood OF
Teamsters, the mayor arranged to
have the city trucks manned by
members of the union on strike,
augmenting the regular drivers.
In order to speak to the strikers,
the mayor left a conference of
truck operators committee headed
by Arthur G. McKeever. Before
the conference began, McKeever
said:

"a cut of railroad workers wages

Seal Sales Combat
 Tuberculosis

For the third time since the first tuberculosis Christmas Seals were sold in 1907, two double barred crosses appear on this years seal. The 1919 and 1923 issues had two red, double-barr- ed crosses.
 ''This red cross with two bars is used the world over as the sym bol of the tuberculosis crusade" explained Harry Watson, Presi- dent of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association. "In a standardized form it is the trademark of the National Tuberculosis Associa- ton and it's 1,500 affiliated assoc iations throughout the country.
 'In 1902, two years before the National Tub rculOsls AsSocia- ton was founded, Dr. G. Ser siron of Paris, at a tuberculosis conference held in Berlin, pro- posed that the double-barred red cross be adopted as the in- ternational emblem of the anti tuberculosis movement. AS sign of victory for the Crusaders in the 11th to the l4th centuries, this cross had always been an in- signia for courage, high ideals, and a desire to make the world better. It semeed fitting, there fore, to adopt it as the emblem for the tuberculosis campaign whose desire it is to bring about a healthy world-one from which tuberculosis some day must be banished.
 ''In our country said MT. Wat son, the double barred cross is used all through the year on post CTS, phampletS, periodicals and other educational material dis tributed by the tuberculosis as- sociations. At this season espec- ially, everybody has chance to become acquainted with the worldwide symbol. It is appear ing in double measure on the mil lions of Christmas Seals that are sold between Thansgiving and Christmas to support the nation wide education tuberculosis cam paign."

If, in the foggy dawn, you

want to know any time this week
at the National Museum, where
the American Ornithologists'
Union is in convention.
Here some 500 ladies and gentle
men with an academic interest in
our feathered friends, the birds,
are exchanging observations rang
ing from "the distribution of Kirt-
lands warbler to Factors Inf1u-

BOARD MEMBERS
PUSH TO FINISH
DETAILS OF PLAN
l6 Teachers Planned
For CrippIes
BY JAMES J. CULLINANE

Formal approval of a WPA
project to provide educational ia
cilities denied youngsters who are
barred from class rooms because
Of physical Affections will be
sought at meeting of the Board
of Education this afternoon.
Plans for the project were dras-
tically modified by WPA officials
last night after school and health
department officials requested So
teachers and IL assistants and
clerks to extend education to 507
shut-ins between the ages Of 5
and 18.
HUGE PROBLEM
Mrs. Mary Steele, chief of Dis
trict WPA educational projects,
expressed amazement at the mag.
nitude of the problem. Early Of
ficial estimates had led Federal
WPA officials to believe, she said,
that the project would require
only 10 teachers. The Board Of
Education in its budget estimates
requested only six visiting teach.
ers to care for the children on
permanent basis.
DR.. Lewis Alderman, national
director of WPA educational pro-
IjectS, agreed last night, however,
to allow the District 16 teachers,
a supervisor, a clerk and two field
assistants 10 inaugurate the local
project.
THREE CLINICS
Health Department and school
officials already have approved
the modified plans and only the
OK. Of the Board of Education is
needed to send them to Federal
WPA headquarters for final
action.
First step in the project will be
establishment of claSSrooms in
connection with the crippled
children's clinics at Gallinger,
Children's and Freedmen's hos
pitfalls. Teachers not required at
the clinic schools will visit the
homes of as many little shut-ins
as they can.
333 BARRED
Largest group in need of home
education comprises 333 boys and
girls barred from classrooms be-
cause they are known to be suffer
ing from syphilis or gonorrhea.
Figures submitted to Mrs.
Steele revealed that school au-
thorities have records of Al chill
dren with crippled bones who need
home teaching.
