November /. and month later 81
per cent of the prewar level.

New Secretary Reveals
Discharge Plans Soon
After Taking Oath
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Secretary of War Patterson
said today it is quite possible"
the Army will be reduced to
about 100000 by next July /.
Revealing plans for future reduc-
tions at a press conference shortly
after taking the oath of office, Mr..
Patterson said the 1,950,000 figure
mentioned by President Truman
two days ago as the goal for next
July l included 100000 men sched-
uled to be discharged.
These men will be out in a few
weeks Mr.. Patterson said, so the
Army will be down to about 1880, 900
men shortly after July /. 1916"
Includes Occupation Forces.
He said that number would take
care of the armies of occupation
including the forces for Japan and
the Pacific.

said I'VE must not shirk the task
of enforcing the surrender of Ger

Tension Is Mounting
As Labor Strife Spreads

Tension mounted over the Nations
spreading labor strife today as the
army of idle workers over labor dis
putes skyrocketed to near the
2,000,0 mark
The labor picture was the worst
in months. The strike list, below
the 100000 mark most of the year
preceding VI day, bulged as hum
dreds of thousands of workers were
forced off their jobs by disputes,
some of them fresh outbreaks.
A quick survey along the troubled
labor front showed:
More than 1,85O,000 workers off
their jobs. some 10000 idle because
OF strikes. The others-particularl
New York Office workers-were kept
from their jobs by the stoppages.
Elevator Strike Continues.
For the fourth day New York City
struggled in the grip of a single
strike which paralyzed business and
industrial activity at an estimated
loss of millions of dollars in trade
and wages and inconvenienced hum
dreds of thousands. The strike
spread to 100 additional buildings
today. (Story on Page A-4D

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Edgar L.
Warren, the Cancellation Serv-
ices new chief, personally en-
tered the oil strike conference
today and invited delegates to
move their sessions to Washing
ton Immediately.
Mr.. Warren, who made a surprise
at the deadlocked meet
ing of labor and oil industry repre-
sentatives, said the invitation was
issued at the request of Secretary of
Labor SchWellenbach
Mr.. Warren spoke only briefly
with reporters before entering the
conference, which has been dead
locked since Tuesday in efforts to
settle 12-day strike that threatens
to extend to involve, 250000 workers.
About $4,000 are on strike now.
Schwellenbach Voices Concern.
Earlier Justice William L. Knous,
chairman of remember con-
ciliation panel conducting the con-
ferences, said Secretary Schwellen-
bach had informed him indirectly
he felt great concern" over the
deadlock and expressed "a very
earnest desire that the conference
be continued until a settlement is
arrived at"
AS the conferees went behind
closed doors, Justice Knous indi-
Gated the issues were no nearer set
tlement than they we're Tuesday
when the meetings began.
The l2-day-old strike involves
CIO oil workers in seven States and
has threatened gasoline shortages in
some communities.
c. S. Teitsworth, chairman of the
Manufacturing Committee of So
cony-V Vacuum Oil Co., told reporters
spot shortages of gasoline would
occur early next month on the East
ern seaboard if the strike continued
at its present scope.
Survey Conducted.
He defined a spot" shortage as
one in which not all the gasoline
in a community is exhausted but
some service stations or bulk plants
might run out. If the strike should
be extended as threatened, he said,
these shortages would come earlier
than estimated.
An industry conducted survey,
spokesman said, indicated Rich
mond, Va, would have a spot
shortage October l and Norfolk,
Va, October and would be COM
pletely out of gasoline by Novem-
ber Is.
Corresponding dates for other
cities surveyed were New York, Oc-
tober and October Is; Providence
r. l.. october 9 and October %. and
Boston and Philadelphia, October
10 and October 30.
Mr.. Teitsworth said these Short
ages would occur because refineries
in the East produce only about one
half of the gasoline consumed there,
the remainder being imported from
Texas, where the strike has hit re-
flneries the hardest.

Sc, ,000, 900 insufficient,
Commissioners Are Told
At Budget Hearing

A committee of the Washing
ton Board of Trade today called
for an increase in the $6,0O0,0 900
annual Federal contribution to
the Municipal revenues, and a
spokesman for the Washington
Taxpayers Association pleaded
for maintenance of the present
real estate tax rates as public
hearings started on the l947
budget.
The Commissioners, who held the
hearing in the board room of the
District Building, have before them
requests of department heads for
more than $4,000, ,0G0 for the COM
ing fiscal year.
L. P. McLachlen, chairman of the
Municipal Finance Committee of the
Board of Trade, declared the Fed
eral payment should be increased
in some proportion to the increases
in local expenses" or otherwise ''the
partnership principle represented in
the joint financial responsibility o1
the Nation and the local community
to Capital city maintenance and de-
velopment is destroyed and a finan-
cial burden too great for the tax
resources of this city is placed on
the local taxpayer.
Suggests Two Budgets.
Mr.. McLachlen also suggested the
adoption of two budgets, one a bal
anced budget and the other show
ing needs which were omitted to
balance the first budget.
The fact that the Commissioners
are required to submit a balanced
budget to Congress obscures the
number of needs which would be in
cluded if there were available reve-
nue. to support them," Mr.. McLach-
len said. There should, in effect
be two budgets One would be the
balanced budget and the other the
budget of needs which are omitted
because so much local revenue il
diverted for the support of projects
more national than local in char.
acter'
Inciting the need for additiona
revenue, Mr.. McLachlen pointed Out
that salaries have been increased BY
Congress and that a large capita
outlay program for public building:
will soon be undertaken and, in ad.
dition, department heads have re.
quested 1900 new employees for 1874
at cost of approximately $780, 900
Cites Increased Costs.
! Mr., McLachlen also pointed ou
that since the s6,000,000 figure ha:
been in effect since 194C, the mu
nicipal operating expenses alon,
have increased more than $4,000,
600 and another increase is antici
pated for the coming fiscal year.
In conclusion Mr.. McLachlel
urged the Commissioners to pleat
with the Federal Budget Burea,
and the Appropriation Committees o
Congress ito adopt a formula for it
measurements thereafter which vii
fix the size of the Federal paymen
in relation to local revenue, or il

For Word That May

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Foreign
Ministers of the United States,
Britain and Soviet Russia
planned a series of informal
talks today amid unconfrmed
reports that Foreign Commissar
Vycheslav M. Molotov was wait
ing word from Moscow which
might clear the way toward a
solution of the Balkan peace
issue.
The full Council of Big Five For
eign Ministers skipped the regular
morning conference, and in the aft
ernoon was to take up again French
proposals for Observation-Disclosures
of the Ruhr and Rhineland.
Soviet Demands Discussed.
In the interim the foreign secre-
taries of the Big Three powers were
reported reliably to be discussing
renewed Soviet demands to exclude
France and China from participat-
ing in the discussion of Balkan
treaties.
There were indications that un-
less Secretary of State Byrnes,
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin and Mr.. Molotov were con-
vinced an absolute deadlock had
been reached, they would keep the
Council in session, until this obstacle
to the Romanian, Bulgarian and
Hungarian treaties was removed.
The fact that sessions would con-
tinue at least for a day or two more
led informed observers here to be-
,ieve that some sort of agreement
on the problem was on the way.
Food Problem Remains.

the question Of the Austrian gov

only in the Soviet occupation zone
1t seemed likely the United States
now would be willing to permit the
