 TELEPHONE
 WALk0UT
tBy The Associated press)

A New York union spokesman sees chance of averting the telephone shutdown which threatens to en- gulf the nation tomorrow. The leader says a proposal has been submitted to Western Electric and If it is accepted, the strike of 5000 telephone installation workers might be ended and thus head off the coast t-to-coast telephone tie-up that otherwise seems certain to start to- morrow.
 Some TOGO long distance telephone workers including operators -- are due to begin leaving their jobs in New York City tomorrow morning at T o'clock, Eastern Time. The striking installation workers plan to start picketing telephone exchanges throughout the country tomorrow morning, and they say most opera tors will not cross the lines.
 Dial service probably can be main- tained for some time, barring ma jor breakdown. But toll and long distance service will be shut down.
 Washington telephone service al- ready has been curtailed by walk out of operators of the Chesapeake and Potomac telephone company to- day to attend union protest meet ing.
 Meantime, CLIO Union and con- pany officials are meeting in an ef- fort to head off strikes in the steel, electrical and meat packing indus tries, scheduled for next week. Those three walkouts would involve nearly a million and half more workers.
 In Washington, the General Mo tors fact-finding board has sent its report to the White House. The long G-M strike has kept more than l75,- 900 workers idle.
 Photographic communication in New York City is still crippled by the Western Union strike now in it's third day

ARMY RECASTING ENTIRE PROGRAM,
 DEM0BILIzATI0N
AnnouncementM Made Point Scores io Be Waived in
 Getting Men Home

WASHINGTON, Jan 10 - The War Department undertook to re- cast it's entire demobilization pro- gram today, as pressure mounted from disgruntled GI's demonstrate ing overseas.
 Pending this revision, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized theater commanders to waive all point score requirements in getting home men not needed in the occu- patton forces.
 At the same time, Gen. Jacob l.. Devers, chief of the army ground forces, told the country that public clamor for bringing the boys back immediately is "jeopardizing our security and wrecking the morale of men needed to maintain the peace"
 Showdown Revised
 The announcement that the Army was redrafting it's demobiliza- tion program came less than q week after the War Department ordered it's demobilization slow down which touched off the series cf G.I. demonstrations in the Pa- cific and Europe.
 The showdown order was the first drastic change in demobiliza- tion policy since the broad general program was announced after V-E Day.
 There was no hint what lines the new demobilization program would follow, but the Army promised the revised plan would be forthcoming shortly"
 Dissatisfaction
 Despite Eisenhower's order and the promise of new demobiliza- ton program, increasing dissatis- faction with the entire situation was voiced on Capitol Hill by some lawmakers returning for the open ing session of Congress next week.
 Senator George A. Wilson tR- Iowa) was of the opinion that both Army and Navy release programs are so snarled that only congress slonal action can get them un- tangled
 He told reporters he will pro- pose that Congress order the re- lease by April l of all enlisted personnel except volunteers or draftees with less than years service.

DEMOBILIzATI0N CRITICISM DRAWS
 STERN WARNING
Army Newspaper Told to Be Careful : Develop
 ments in } Sections

HONOLULU, Jan. 10 The Honolulu edition of Stars and Stripes, Army newspaper, drew a stern warning today from the gen. eral who has upheld it's outspoken policy as CT criticism of the de- mobilization program flared anew throughout the Pacific.
 It. Gen. Robert c. Richardson, Jr., commander of the mid-Pacific, cautioned Stars and Stripes not to make any discourteous references to the President, Secretary of War. Chief of Staff or others in au- thority in the Army. Although this immediately was termed military censorship by some here, it was pointed out that Richardson only was calling attention to the Articles Of War, which provide severe pen alties for such criticism.
 Nor is the paper to publish sol- diers' letters which could be con- strued as discourteous or deroga- tory to authority.
 Staff Responsible
 The order holds the papers staff strictly responsible and subject to disciplinary action for violations, but exempts news received by Stars and Stripes from news services.
 In Tokyo, 26 members of the Pacific Stars and Stripes published there charged that it had been usurped in the "demobilization crisis" and converted into a house organ for the War Department" i" They charged that It. Col. James Parks, officer in charge, broke faith" by publishing without their knowledge a letter from a radio commentator who criticized sol- diers demanding quick discharge and reminded them that their buddies had lost their lives in the war.
 Sentiment Expressed
 Other developments:
 Manila - Thousands of soldiers shooped as they learned of Gen. Eisenhower's order authorizing theater commanders to send home any men deemed not necessary to occupation. "A Harold Schiffrin, temporary chairman of a de- mobilization protest committee, said Its a great step forward and an intelligent one" but that the com- mittee would adopt wait and see attitude before disbanding.
 Seoul, Korea-Thousands of sol- diers, at mass meeting, vocifer- ously but respectfully demanded a congressional inquiry of the de- mobilization showdown. We can not understand the War Depart ment's insistence on keeping an oversized peacetime army overseas under present conditions" stated a resolution. It. Gen. John R. Hodge. occupation commander, was present to answer questions.
 Honolulu Five members of a congressional committee studying Hawaii's application for statehood attended mass meeting of 10000 CHS who roared their approval of a four point demobilization speedup demaEC.
