 Incidentally, as far as could be learned from members of the fire department, the organizers active here are not paid unionists, but brother firemen from other com- munities where unionization has been perfected.
 One noticeable hitch in organiza- tion plans here is the hesitancy of veteran members who are seeking promotions or who wish to be re- tired as soon as possible. They naturally do not wish to compromise their future chances.
 In some cities, unionization of firemen and policemen has been &C., complished without opposition from chief executives, but also without floral tributes" being sent to the instigators. The movement to in- clude members of fire and police de- partments in unions is viewed, as of necessity, with tolerance Frankly speaking, city officials are not in favor of any such program.
 Whether the local police depart ment will fall in line with the fire men is a matter of speculation at present. The drive" is reported in- spired by two recent facts: the lack of success in obtaining whole hearted endorsement of an accept able pension plan for firemen and a desire to persuade the board of fire commissioners and the mayor to continue the $500 wartime allow ance given to city employees receiv- ing less than 5000 in annual wages. The extra compensation is intend ed to lessen the burden of increased costs of living
 At present the firemen have a mutual aid association which pays certain sick and death benefits, but takes no initiative in collective bargaining" When negotiations for wages and other considerations in the past it developed that men of less than five years of experience were forgotten men," Officers look ed out for themselves and veteran members followed their example

 Some aspects of the matter are still under consideration by the AL lied governments concerned" Hall told commons.
 Laborite George Strauss. assert ing that the issue could have been settled year ago, asked what caused the delay
 "The hostilities have only just come to an end. and the troops are still necessarily in their occupa- tional positions and cannot take up the zones." Hall replied
 In response to another question Hall said the government considers any change in the sovereignty of the Dodecanese Islands must await the peace settlement.
 He said a visit of the Greek re- gent, Archbishop Damaskinos, to the island last week in no way infringed on that principle. The islands of southwest Turkey were Italian before the war.

Italian Premier Ivanoe Bonomi stated Italy's position on Trieste al press conference in Rome last night when he said his country would be glad to discuss the prob lem with Jugoslavia when the pas sions of war have passed"
 Bonomi said he was confident any differences between Italy and Jugo- slavia could be ironed out. But he added, it is necessary that the problem be not prejudiced by the use of force; we condemn all ag- gressor nationalisms, no matter where they come from, What flag they are flying, and no matter what intentions are behind them"
 The Italian premier appealed fo, Russian support of Italy's position noting that the Soviet had sub- scribed to the Otlantic charter.
 Bern radio reported the Bonomi government might resign as a re- suit of the "worsening" Trieste af- fair, but there was no hint of that in dispatches from Rome.
 Males Deported
 Radio Rome charged the Yugoslav liberation committee had deported all males between Is and 50 from the city of Gorizia into the interior of Slovenia. Gorizia, like Trieste, is in Venezia Gula provnce, the terri tory under dispute.
 The Italian broadcast also said the Yugoslavs had withdrawn Ital- ian currency from Gorizia and re- placed it with Yugoslav Dinars.
 The British radio reported a proclamation had been issued in Carinthia, southernmost province of Austria which Yugoslavia also CO., vets, saying the entire province of Carinthia will be incorporated into greater Yugoslavia." The broadcast said the proclamation was issued in Tito's name.
 According to the London broad cast. the proclamation also an- nounced the setting up for a Yugo- slav military administration in klegenfurt. capital of Carinthia, which was occupied by British troops.
