WEST POINT, N. Y, Sept

warned that the time is coming
when military men will not be
popular in this country as he
called on the 2,100 West Point
cadets to carry on and prepare
themselves to exercise leadership
in the days of peace.
Here for the West Point-Okla-

told a cheering audience that this
country faces the same situation
now which every country has faced
after terrible emergency"-the
same situation, he added, that con-
fronted the Nation after the Civil
War, the First World War and the
Revolutionary War.
1T is nothing new" he continued
There is coming time now when

These CIO and AFL combines did
not care about Mr.. Mueller or

New Outbreak Marks
Strike in Hollywood
BY the Associotsd Press

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. ga state
OF emergency, proclaimed by the
sheriff as the aftermath of two
days of sporadic rioting at movie
studios, failed today to halt further
outbreaks as picketing in an AFI
Jurisdictional dispute entered its
third day
Two cars were overturned at the
entry gates of Metro
Mayer studios in renewed trouble
between nonstriking film workers
and Conference of Studio Unions
members, made idle by what they
call a lockout, but what producers
call strike.
No one was hurt and no one
arrested in the new clash, which
occurred as workers reported fol
the day shift.
Sheriff Eugene BiscailuZ called ir
about $50 additional special deputies
to police the gates of the major film
studios, which are being picketed by
the Conference Of Studio Unions in
their jurisdictional dispute with the
rival International Alliance of The
atrical Stage Employees. Both are
AFL groups.
A fierce melee, in which about 2OC
persons engaged, broke out yester-
day at the M-G-M gates. II
required half an hour for Culver
City police and sheriff's deputies to
ouell the rioting, in which pickets
smashed automobile windows, ripped
out ignition wires and tried to upset
several cars. Twenty-three pickets
were arrested.
Warner Brothers obtained a court
order limiting gate pickets to eight
and workers dispersed. M-G-M
shortly afterward obtained a similar
order.
The dispute. recurrence OF one
which led to 34-week strike last
year. arose from refusal of CSU
workmen to handle sets which they
claim had been built by IATSE
members.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 2S.-Op-
Grafton of Pittsburgh's streetcars
was completely halted early this
morning for the second time
within 48 hours as a result of
picketing by members of a strik-
ing power union.
Headquarters of the AFL- ANAL
gamated Association of Street Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach EN-
ployes said efforts to operate the
cars, which had maintained partial
service through the early hours of
the night, were abandoned after
pickets surrounded all II car barns
OF the Pittsburgh Railways Co.
A spokesman for the union said a
mass meeting of all members had
been called for this morning al
which the union would be asked tc
decide whether to pass through the
picket lines of the Independent AS
sociation of Employees of the
Duquesne Light Co.
The meeting was delayed for a
while because members were slow in
arriving and there was no indication
what time 1t would be concluded
Bus drivers also were represented at
the discussion.
Meanwhile, all streetcar trans
portation was at halt, and bus
service was partly disrupted.
Disregard Warning.
Members Of the independent
union, in picketing the barns, dis
regarded a warning issued last night
by the AFL-Pittsburgh Central
Labor Union which said it would
mot tolerate any interference" of
streetcars and buses operated by
members Of its affiliates.
Meanwhile, another session of the
apparently stalemated wage contract
negotiations between the Duuuesne
Light Co. and the independent
union was scheduled for this after
noon, with mass meeting of the
union called for 7:30 pm. tonight
W Vote on any OHer the company
may make"
The power union has given no
reason for halting the streetcars
but apparently it acted from one
of two reasons possibly both: %
Current for the cars is supplied by
the DuqueSne Light Co. and 90
both Duquesne Light and Pittsburgh
Railways are subsidiaries of the
Philadelphia Co.
Didn't Seek Protection.

company said police protection has
not been asked He said the AFL

An effective approach to the
problem of establishing social Sc
curity in the United States requires
that the existing programs be sup
planted by a universal and compre-
hensive system which would pro-
vide benefits for all persons in
need, according to study, made
public today by the Brookings In

The study points out that the
present system of old age and sur
viVors insurance does not cover
large groups of the population
although these groups must con-
tribute to its support and it does
not protect victims of disability.
