Truck Drivers Strike
Appears Imminent;
Companies Adamant

A truck drivers strike appeared
imminent today. A representative
of the District Trucking Association
countered a strike vote announce
ment by drivers with a statement
that companies regard any further
wage increase as unjustifed.
@Joseph C. McGarraghy, who rep
resents the District Trucking Associ-
alton, said:
THE companies adhere to their
original position to sign a renewal
of the expired contract"
Aubrey w. Stream, president of
Local 500 of the Teamsters' Union

could not be reached for comment
on the employers stand on their
position.
Fourteen major freight delivery
concerns in Washington and 300
workers would be affected by the
strike. The union is seeking a
wage boost of 8 cents an hour for
drivers and liz cents an hour for
helpers.
Mr.. McGarraghy countered union
statements by denying that any
sizable portion of the industry al
ready had signed the union con-
tract. He said no members of the
labor relations council of the asso-
ciation has signed and that "any
statement that the union has signed
contracts relates to individual op-
orators, whose operations are small,
relative to the entire industry"
The American Ice Co., whose 65
drivers, helpers and haulers filed

notice has been withdrawn.

Busching Returns
To His Home With
Wife After FIogging

Lloyd o. Busching, 80, was back
home today with his wife, Dorothy,
25, for whose beating he was f1ogged
in the Upper Marlboro (Md) Jail
yesterday.
The Buschings, with the aid of
Prince Georges County police, kept
a prearranged rendezvous yesterday,
probably In the District, to avoid
having the husband run the gantlet
of curious neighbors in Dillon Park,
Md. Both Busching, when he left
the Upper Marlboro Jail, and his
wife, when she was whisked from
her home by police, managed to
elude reporters and photographers
Neighbors reported that the Busch
ing car was parked in front of
their home today.
Although Busching paid his pen
atty by receiving 10 lashes shortly
before II m. at the hands of Sheriff
r. Earle Sheriff, he did not leave
the Jail until after pm. Accord
ing to Jail attendants, he left after
a l5-minute telephone conversation
with his wife.
Busching put a handkerchief over
his face and raced a block down the
main street of Upper Marlboro to
his car, parked behind the court
house. He drove off at high speed
before newsmen, who had been wait
ing for him, could get into their
cars and pursue him.
The whipping was applied in ac-
cordance with the sentence passed
on Wednesday by Judge Charles G
Marbury, after Busching was con-
victed by jury of beating his wife
after a beer party last June. The
complaint to police was lodged by
Ineighbors, not by the wife, and Mrs
BuSching refused to testify against
her husband at the trial.
Another charge of wife beating
will be heard by Judge Marbury on
Monday. The defendant is Albert
Nicholson. 60, a carpenter, charged
with beating his 50-year- -old wife
Effie.

Agreement Reached
On Final Plans for
Dupont Underpass

Way was cleared today Tor the
District Commissioners to start
carrying out long-delayed plans for
construction of the Dupont Circle
underpass.
Removal of the last obstacle was
effected when the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission ap-
proved a modification designed for
locating eight subway entrances and
exits and bus stops on the outer
fringe of the Circle roadway.
Instead of having a single subway
kiosk in the center of the circle,
compelling passengers to cross the
streams of surface traffic, sta
tions are 30 be located at the four
points of the compass.
Three entrances will be east of
the circle, three others west, one
north and one south. Those on the
east side will be on the north side
Vi SCOs L4iC OOubl1 olNC Va I4uOoo-
chuSetts avenue and between P street
and Massachusetts, avenue.
Those on the west will be on the
north side of Massachusetts avenue,
on the soutS side of P street and be-
tween P street and Massachusetts,
avenue. The south entrance will be
on the east side of Nineteenth street
and the north entrance on the west
side of Nineteenth street.
The entrances were chosen with a
view to making them convenient to
bus stops on streets just off the
circle, it was said.
Location of Kiosks.
Agreement on the plan, which in
sures safety and convenience for
both pedestrians and transferring
bus passengers, came suddenly
late yesterday at the final session
of the Planning Commission. As
originally drawn up by the District
Highway Department, the proposed
kiosk in the circle aroused stiff
opposition not only from the Plan
ming Commission but also the Ma
tional Park Service and the Capital
Transit Co.
Final approval of the underpass
plans had been delayed months
while both District and Federal
officials restudied the traffic prob
lem at the circle, admittedly one of
the toughest in Washington. Up to
early yesterday there was still ap-
parent disagreement on the change
finally approved.
The District Highway Department
now may start drawing working
plans for the pdoject when it so de-
sires.
May Walk Under Circle.
Pedestrians entering the subway
kioSks will be able to walk into
central mezzanine level under the
center of the circle and then reach
the streetcar loading platforms by
flights of stairs. If they wish to
cross the circle and avoid surface
traffic, they can enter kiosk on one
side and emerge from one on the
opposite side.
The automobile routes, north and
south, will be in the center, with the
streetcar lines on the outside. The
lanes will be fenced or walled.
Commissioner w. E. Reynolds OF
the Public Buildings Administration
outlined to the commission yester-
day details of the $3.50, 100000 Fed
eral building program for Washing
ton and its environs. The commits
sion said that Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant,
Sd, it's chairman, will appear be-
fore the House Public Building and
Grounds Committee next week to
give official endorsement of the pro-
gram. Federal planners are eSpe-
cially pleased with the inclusion of
East Capitol street. and B streets

marked for development.

II tQ6re Is FRANK u. Aent
better Republican available no one
has pointed him out. That Mr..
Stassen has presidential aspirations,
Of course, has been known since
1914 when his name went before
the convention in Chicago. Since
then he has grown IN popularity
and stature.
His Navy service during the war
and his participation in the San
Francisco Conference as a delegate
have contributed to strengthening
his political assets and build him
up as national figure.
The fresh developments that have
helped him are interesting because
the first is one with which he had
nothing to do and the second one
with which he had everything to do.
The first was the overwhelming de-
feat of the Republican candidate
for Mayor In New York-Judge
Jonah ]. Goldstein.
Politics Backfires.
This has been generally interpret
cd as setback for Gov. Dewey,
for two reasons. One Is that his
selection Of Judge Goldstein, a
former Tammany Democrat, was a
bad example Of being oversmart in
politics. It was a piece of political
strategy that backfired damagingly
It has made it less likely that Gov
Dewey will be reelected Governor
next year and If he is not reelected,
he will not figure Importantly In
the 1948 convention.
Thus, entirely through his own
fault, Mr.. Stassen's most potential
rival for the nomination has taken
q step toward his own elimination
and Mr.. Stassen has automatically
advanced. It is, Of course, possible
Gov. Dewey may recover and win
next year. But his chances have
lessened and that helps Mr.. Stassen
The other development for which
Mr.. Stassen deserves full credit was
his own New York speech last
Thursday on the atomic bomb and
the best policy for the United States
In dealing with it.
So much slush has been written
and spoken on this topic; so many
silly ideas and suggestions have
been made, and the general poiti-
cal thinking has been so exceedingly
sentimental, selfish and sloppy, that
1t was refreshing and a relief to
read Mr.. Stassen's speech. His was
q genuinely statesmanlike utter
ance. 1t stamped him unmistakably
as a man Of presidential size.
Though he took a broad and ele-
waited view Of this great problem,
his plan was an exceedingly practi-
cal one and his recommendations
were concrete, clear and detailed.
Not the least attractive thing
about the speech was that, while
Mr., Stassen obviously had given a
lot of time. and study to his plan of
placing control of the bomb def
niteiy on the world level. he did not
insist that his plan is the best, or
the only one, or cannot be improved
With an engaging modesty he of
fered 1t for discussion, expressed
his conviction that there is no real
alternative to world control, but
evidenced an open mind to sugges-
tions.
Others have since spoken along
similar lines-Senator Ball, Repub.
lican, of Minnesota for one. Yet nc
one else has presented a clearer
analysis or a sounder idea. Un.
doubtedly, the New York election

results have helped Mr.. Stassen po-
litically, but he has helped himself
q good deal more by the clarity,
force and frankness with which he
has discussed this most vital Of all
policies. Or at least, he should have.
Perhaps, President Trum an 4,
Prime Minister Attlee and Prime
Minister Mackenzie King will evolve
something superior to the Stassen
plan in their conferences. But, so
far, not one Of the three has given
much reason to hope so.
