Pay Day Ends Threat
OF Ga||inger Strike

Faced with payless week end
several hundred Gallinger Hospita
employees threatened to strike yes
terday unless they got their pay
and they returned to work only
when the delayed pay checks were
Forthcoming in the afternoon, hos
pital authorities said last night.
A spokesman for the employees
said there had been unrest among
the orderlies, maids, laundry work
ers and kitchen help for some time
particularly because of the uncer-
tainty of pay day.
While no organized strike was
planned yesterday, he said, there
was enough resentment to warrant
the prediction that many of the
workers would not have returned
to their posts.
Nonprofessional employees of the
hospital, it was learned, started con-
verging on the paymaster's window
when they were informed they would
not get their checks until Monday
One Of the men workers, according
to a hospital employe, called the
District Building and was told the
checks had been ready since
Wednesday, but that no one hao
come from Gallinger to pick
them up.
The checks were dispatched tc
the hospital and administrative en-
.ployes worked overtime to distribute
the checks in the early afternoon
the hospital said. After that. the
workers went back to their Jobs.

Georgetown University has parted
temporarily with the most valuable
single item among the rare book
collection of it's Riggs Library-the
original manuscript of ''The Adven-
lures of Tom Sawyer" written in
the clearly legible longhand of Sam
uel Clemens, the unforgettable
Mark Twain of American literature
The glass-encased manuscript, in
sured for 5000, was taken from
the vaults yesterday by Librarian
Phillips Temple and entrusted to q
special courier as loan to the De-
troit (Mich) Public Library. The
$50 pages of the manuscript were
given to Georgetown University some
years ago by the late Mrs. Nicholas
F. Brady of New York.
Charles Feinberg, chairman of the
Detroit Friends of the Library
Committee" made the trip to Wash
ington to insure the safe delivery
of the bound manuscript to the De-
tro.t library.
Only once before has the Mark
Twain manuscript left the George
town library. That was when it
was exhibited several years ago at
the j. Pierpont Morgan Library in
NewY York City.
Mark Twain wrote the story of
Americas best-beloved boy character
on ordinary note paper in ink.

ter, give the manuscript a special
interest to scholars such as DR.
Bernard De Voto, for whom a micro
film of the entire work was made
several years ago. Another repro
duction has been deposited with
the Library of Congress and attracts
wide attention.
The original Tom Sawyer, as de-
picted by Mark Twain in the manu-
script, was mite too profane to suit
the publishers idea of American
good taste. AS indicated on many
pages, the author faithfully crossed
out Toms picturesque "cuss" words
and obligingly substituted such typi-
cal expressions as "oh shucks" anc
gosh Almighty"
College officials recalled yesterday
that nephew of the author, Cyril
Clemens of Moberly, Mo, was
graduated from Georgetown in
1926. He is now president of the
International Mark Twain Society
From Mrs. Brady Georgetown
University also received some other
priceless manuscripts and rare edi-
tions. They include the manuscript

thor, and all except one of the first

tionally was somewhat greater than

were declines because of unusually
large supplies of certain vegetables
and the establishment of community
ceilings on produce in many locali-
