 The Spanish note to Britain and the United States alleging military preparations against Spain on the French side of the closed frontier was the dominant topic in political and diplomatic circles. Foreign ob- servers believed that the Franco Government was anxious to appear calm and serene.
 Communists Aided
 Authoritative sources reported that the note included a charge that a Russian freighter landed l5,0CO tons of ammunition at MarSeille for use by Communist forces plan ming an attack against Spain rom France. .
 The spanish note claimed that activity on the French side or the mountainous border constitutes cause for real alarm, informants said. It said the Franco regime was not worried from a military stand point, but was anxious to prevent any possible armed clash which might precipitate events similar 10 the Italian skirmish in Somalilana that started the Ethiopian war

 Ills solemn warning was support ed by former president Herbert Hoover who spoke from Cairo. He said his tour of famine areas had convinced him that upwards of l50 GOO 000 Europeans plus countless millions in the Orient faced star vation.
 The cutback was expected to save about 250,000 bushels of wheat between now and June 30 when the harvest gets underway. It means that Americans will eat less wheat cereals, pastries, macaroni, spagett! and creckers as well as bread.
 It also may hit the pocketbook, Bakers were set to demand an im- mediate price increase to offset their reduced production. They hoped to meet with OP,A. withAl few days.
 They claimed the order would mean at least a 35 percent cut in domestic wheat consumption. They pointed out that the order was based on last years millings where as Americans now are eating much more wheat as a result of the re- turn of millions of serVicemerl.
 Housewives generally seemed wil- ling to support the new program although 1t might mean bare bread counters for late shoppers.
 Congressional reaction was slow in forming. Sen. William Langer, R., N. D., said the grain bonus was step in the right direction but still would leave wheat prices 40 cents 8 hushel below World War I levels when the farmer got s2.26.
 An OP.A. spokesman said the wheat and corn bonus had the "wholehearted approval of the price-1lxing agency. He said a pre- cedent for the action had been set during the war when the Army sometimes was permitted to pay more for scarce materials.

Politics
 L 

Judging by the comments of A. R. Martino of the Council of Com- munity clubs on the radio Thurs day night that worthy gentleman was left aghast but not speechless by the sudden descent of Mayor John g. Monagan and other local officials on Hartford to secure Q place for consideration of Water- bury's revaluation problems in the aeenda of the special legislative ses~ sion. More time could have been spent in discussing the wisdom of the mayors visit to Hartford and his success ct having the Water- bury question included in Q ses- sion that Gov. Raymond E. Bald win only wanted to have consider veterans' housing. Right now there are eight points on the special ses- sion program, which means that almost anything can and probably will happen when the legislators get together on Capitol Hill in early May, Be that aS it may, 1t would seem as if the mayor and his ad- vlsors were alert when they moved to Hartford and secured approval of their plans for . validating act to protect the city from any dan. ger of financial chaoS.

Strike Ends As
Owners Yield
TO Arbitration

New York - (FP). - New York's
stormy Today tugboat strike ended
late Feb. 13 in victory for the $500
men who stuck to their guns despite
an employer holdout for price in
creases, government seizure and con-
stant pressure to go back to work.
The tugboat owners finally agreed
to arbitrate the demands Of Local 333,
Intl. Longshoremen's Assn. (AFL) for
relief from wages as low as 67c an
hour, a 40-hour week, retroactivity of
pay raises to Jan.sl and 2-week vaca-
tions. Employers previous holdout
against arbitration had caused the
unprecedented 18-hour disaster" shut
down of the entire city ordered by
Mayor William O'Dwyer day before
the strike ended.
The dispute will be arbitrated by a
3-man board consisting of Pres. Will
liam Bradley Of Local 1913 for the
workers, Chairman James p. McAllis-
ter of the Towboat Exchanges nego-
tiating committee for the operators
and Edward +. McGrady, vice presi-
dS0L Ol the hdulO 1OIp. Ol aiiltflcd
and former assistant secretary of la
Dor, as chairman.
Protest over O'Dwyer's shutdown Of
the city Feb. IL mounted as the total
cost was estimated at about $40 mill
lion, Of which SO million was lost in
wages. While department stores an
nounced they would pay employees for
the day lost, it was indicated that
most workers in industry would be
docked for the time lost.
Apparently trying to escape respon-
sibilty for the shutdown order,
O'Dwyer blamed the Office of Defense
Transportation, which has been run
ming the tugboats for the government
He charged ODT had failed to give ac-
curate figures on fuel supplies and
had botched the job Of bringing coal
and oil into the city. Both labor and
business criticized the disaster" shut
down as unnecessary. Unionists warn
ed that by failing to put the re-
sponsibility on the employers, O'Dwy-
er's act would add to anti-labor hys-
terra.

Truman's Aid Asked

Washington - (FP). - A plea for

Say Ldbor In
For TRIMMING

Washington (FP).-At the head
quarters Of the lntl. Assn. of Machin
lists (AFD, Vice Pres. Albert j
Hayes denounced the new nationa
wage price policy by predicting that
Labor is in for trimming"
Hayes said it looks "like things
are all set for holding wage below
a ceiling and permitting prices to
continue to rise. If the program is
administered as wage stabilization and
price control was during the war, il
is going to create still more inequali-
ties and reduce the purchasing value
of the earned dollar"
The lam official recalled that dur
ing the war wages did not keep step
with prices and suggested the new
formula was just another Little Steel
formula substituting percentages per-
mitted (which will put wages still
more out of step with prices. Labor
now won't be able through long over
time work, to make up any of the
inequities."
''lf the policy sets a national wage
pattern and then approves price relief
without a trial period, it means we
are willing to accept initiation.
eve don't know what kind of teeth
the government is planning to enforce
this policy" Hayes said "but you can
be sure they will get 'no-strike pledge
to back it up as during the war"

LUCKY STRIKE AID
COMMITTEE FORMED

makers of Lucky Strike cigaretts, have

Trenton, and Charleston, S. c., with
$500 women workers out.
Mrs. Virginia Foster Durr, commit
tee chairman, called for funds to sup
ply food, clothing, medical care anC

that success in this strike, which
crosses the Mason Dixon line, would
help break the old North-South wage
differential. Workers in the three
cities are asking for blanket con-
tract.

UAW St0ppage Gets
Action On Wage Boost

had Just before the work stoppage
issued rosy report to stockholders
Of future prospects. Only one cloud
loomed darkly on his rosy horizon
"this labor problem" However he ex-
planned the simple solution Repeal
the Wagner act"
Freuhaufs company was one or the
contributing members of the newly
formed Society of Sentinels, which
suggested coyly to Pres. Truman in
nationwide newspaper ads that he
wipe the slate clean of the Wagner
act, wage-hour act, social security
act, price control, housing subsidies
and foreign relief, and preserve this
nation as an island of freedom" in a
world where nations are floundering
in the quicksands of socialism and
communism"

Laddon Of deliberately driving his car
through a moving line Of pickets at
the entrance of the company's park
ing lot driveway and injuring two
pickets, one of whom was carried more
than 100 feet, the length Of the park
ing lot, on the vehicle.
But Whelan, after interviewing wit
nesses, said he had insufficient evil
dence to warrant issuance of com
plant. He was Immediately bombarded
by various AFL and CIO unions and
by numerous individuals urging that
Laddon's action not go unpunished.
On the theory that an offense is
the best defense, the company ac-
cused the strikers of illegal and vlio-
lent picketing and obtained from the
superior court temporary restrain
ing order to limit pickets to "rea-
sonable" number. The union, which
started its strike Feb. after Convair
refused to set definite effective date
for proposed l5fo wage increase, an
nounced it would fight the company's
attempt to get permanent injunc-
