Mariners threatened Probe
 SenotoT Puzzled
 Beeouse Two Sides
 Are For Apart

Washington. June 5.-tUPD- Maritime union leaders and ship ping operators today resumed wage and hour negotiations under threat Of a Congressional investigation of their dispute if they fail to present a nationwide maritime strike set for June IS.
 Sen. Claude Pepper, tD.-Fla). |. told a reporter he will ask the Senate Labor Committee to inves- tigate the union-einployer differ ences if the walkout occurs.
 Pepper said he hoped the Con- gressional inquiry would not be necessary. but the two sides were far apart. Informed sources said the Government probably would propose a compromise on the vital dispute over the length Of the sea- mems work week.
 Hours Vital Issue
 With negotiations in the eighth day. the Government considered suggesting a 48-holr week. Sea- men nov work 56 hours weekly while at sea, and the unions want it cut to 42. They originally asked a 4O-hour week at sea. and still demand it for shore workers.
 Employers. on the hand, were said to be standing firm on their refusal to cut the 56-hour week. They would agree. informed sources said. to have an investigation of the hours problem by competent person" s"-presumably Govern ment fact-findine board.
 Any Government proposals to re- duce the work week probably viii be delayed until next week since both sides are negotiating on the hours issue. Harry Bridges. presi- dent of the L0ngsil0remen and Warehousemen, andu Joseph Cur ran. president of the National Mari time Union, both cIO. have stressed the importance Of their hours demands.
 Murray Doesn't WanG Strike

 The Navy. Coast Guard and War Shipping Administration continued plans to man the merchant ships under President Truman's orders fl the galk0ut occurs.
 The Coast Guard announced that because Of the strike threat 1t has halted temporarily the discharge Of regular personnel who had request ed release before the expiration Of their regular enlistnents. It said den0bilizatiOn of reserve personnel would continue.

I'VE hope to find some holes in

OF the Russian people for news re-

Oldest Inhobitunts Sing Sonqs
That Made Money for Foster

The canard contained in a recent
movie short that Stephen Foster
was an impoverished song writer
living in penury was spiked last
night by John Clagett Proctor at q
meeting of the Association of the
Oldest Inhabitants of the District
of Columbia in the Union firehouse
at Nineteenth and H streets NV
Before he died, Mr.. Proctor said
Mr.. Foster had received $4,000 in
royalties on his best seller, "Old
Folks at Home" better known as
THE Swanee River" and was re-
ceiving royalties from many others
of his $50 songs at the same time.
While Mrs. George Hayes Rosen-
field accompanied on the piano, Mr.
Proctor gave samples of the songs
leading of with, "Dere was an ole
darky and his, name was Uncle Ned
He's dead long ago, long ago"
Mr.. Proctor asked the assemblage
to join him. But as he had the
one song book, he found himself
singing solo.
Lets sing something we al
know" said some one in the rear
and the assemblage congregationally
broke into "Old Black joe"
And Mr.. Proctor made no bones
about the cause of Mr.. Fosters dis

The Fairfax Village Citizens As
sociation last night shortened its
regular business meeting to hear
DR.. Fred Haynes of the Johns Hop
kins laboratory of applied physics
describe wonder weapon" of
World War II, the VT or proximity
fuse.
''The fuse proved its effectiveness
when used as a defense against the
buzz bomb attacks on London and
prevented the destruction of many
OF the homes and historic land
marks of that CITY," DR.. Haynes
stated "It was first used in jan
uary of 1943 by the U. S. s. Helena
to bring down a Japanese dive
bomber and later with telling effect
In the Battle of the Bulge. The
German soldiers referred to it as
'hellfire.,,"
DR.. Haynes supplemented his talk
with slides and movies showing the
difficulties overcome in production
of the fuse and its first actual use.
Preceding DR.. Haynes talk, Fred
Englehart, executive secretary of
the Eastern branch OF the YMCA,
outlined plans for a "Y" branch in
the Fairfax Village area. The as
ISOLATION voted $25 to the "Y"
project fund.
Mrs. O. Lee wilkins, member of
the Education Committee OF the
Southeast Council, recommended
that plans for the dedication Of
Anne Beers School be filed for

is far from complete as far as the

to his agency as "a new arm of our
foreign policy" 2
I'm the case of those areas in
which the people have little or no

for peace lies in their rising to
power" Mr.. Benton said. THAT is
why it is vital to our interest that
the people of other nations-and
not merely their rulers-acquire an
understanding Of the United States.
This is important to our trade and
commerce in peacetime and vital to
our security in time of crisis"
