Bus Strike Settlement
This Week End Hinges
On Arbitration Plan

Hope that the eight-day Arnold
bus line strike would end this week
end hinged today on a six-point
proposal for arbitration submitted to
the union and company by the
United States Cancellation Service.
The plan was submitted yesterday
after week of fruitless effort by
the disputants to perfect a plan of
their own. When they recessed
shortly before midnight, both sides
agreed the conciliators' recommend
alton might provide a basis for
strike settlement.
Since last Friday more than 100
buses of the Arnold-operated WASH
lngton- Virginia Maryland Coach Co.
have stood idle while $4,000 Arling-
ton and Fairfax County commuters
and school children used other
means of transportation.
Plan Not Made Public.
What the conciliation plan pro-
posed was not made public, but
apparently it sought to find a COM
mon ground on which the company
and union could arbitrate the dis
pute.
They agreed to arbitrate before
the strike was called, but the union
insists on applying the principal OF
perpetual arbitration" which dur
ing the war provided the right to
arbitrate at any time. On the other
hand, the company has terminated
its present contract with the hope
Of eliminating perpetual arbitra-
ton" hereafter.
The company also has insisted on
making any wage increase contin-
gent on APPROVAL Of higher fares by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Thus far no protests have
been. filed against the proposed fare
increases, but tonight a committee
of Falls Church citizens will con-
slider such action.
Busline Claims Loss.
Mayor M. H. Haertel, who called
the meeting, said two of the COM
mitteemen were familiar with ICC
procedure and probably would ad-
wise the others whether some action
should be taken Falls Church is
in 20-cent zone from Washing
ton, fare some people think is
too high now" the Mayor said.
Under the increase asked by the
buSline, Falls Church passengers
probably will be charged 221a cents,
Mayor Haertel said.
The company has contended it
will need fare increase even with
out the wage increases asked by the
union, the Amalgamated Association
of Street Electric Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Employees, Division 1919
tAFG. In its annual report, the
company showed it lost s10,70 while
carrying more than 100000 pas
sengers last year.

DR.. Condor Believes
Scientific Gains in
Wartime 0verrated

Efforts to continue wartime de-
DECENTRALIZATION and secrecy In
scientific research will be disastrous,
DR.. Edward U. Condor. director of
the Bureau of Standards, said in the
first Howard lecture at George
Washington University last night.
The idea that science made much
progress during the war is illusory,
DR.. Condor explained, since war
research consisted largely of the
pooling OF knowledge already avail
able to perfect devices for military
use. Even the basic principles of the
atom bpmb, he said, were fairly we'll
understood before the Manhattan
District project started.
DR.. Condor asked for a return to
the international cooperation which
distinguished true research before
the war and which is essential for
expanding fundamental knowledge.
Two major steps already are
planned, he said One will be the
meeting Of the United Nations Edu-
cational and Scientific Organiza-
ton In Paris next November. Dele
gates are expected from all the ma
jor countries, and at that time it is
probable a permanent office will be
set up there.
The other is the plan of the
American Philosophical Society and
the National Academy of Sciences to
receive as guests so prominent for
eign scientists whose trips are to be
financed by their own countries.
DR.. Condor pointed out that prior
to the First World War America
was largely dependent on Europe
for scientific research. But from
1918 to 1888, with science unham-
pered by national boundaries
throughout the world, research In
this country began to come of age.
The period Of free research all over
the earth ended when Hitler started
his anti-Jewish drives against the
German universities and placed
their work under military secrecy.
Still, DR.. Condor said, the fact
that Germany was rearming was no
secret to the world scientific COM
munity although the extent of the
work seemed too monstrous to be-
lieve.
The Howard lectures. it was an
nounced, will be given annually due
to a gift from Frank A. Howard,
retired president of the Standard
Oil Development Co. of New Jersey.
a George Washington graduate.

Small Craft 10 Be Sent
To Famine Areas
For Use in Fishing
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

In a new attack on the world food
crisis, the Government acted today
to shunt all available small vessels
to Europe, the Middle East and the
Far East for use in fishing and food
transport.
The White House announced that
Reconversion Director Snyder had
called on the State Department, the
War Assets Administration, the War
Shipping Administration and the
War and Navy Departments to as
sist in providing the vessels.
The agencies we're asked to give
countries in food shortage areas an
opportunity "to acquire usable small
vessels up to 1,000-ton capacity
which have been or can be declared
surplus"
Other developments on the food
front:
1. UNRRA Director General La
Guardia announced seven ships
loaded with emergency food sup
plies will be sent Immediately"
from North and South America to
Austria in an effort to alleviate
horrible" famine conditions.
The vessels will carry $4,000 tons
OF supplies, including wheat, peas,
fats, fish and sugar.
2. The House passed unanimously
and sent to the White House a
Senate-approved bill removing le-
gal ban on private shipment of re-
lief goods to former enemy nations.
President Truman, saying he has
invoked all the drastic food measures
he can think Of. put 1t up to the
American people, meanwhile, to
counter with self-denial and gen.
erosity the threat. of widespread
famine abroad.
1t is too late for rationing to meet
the emergency between now and
harvest time in hungry foreign ma
tions, he reiterated at his news con-
ference yesterday.
He said it is up to the heart of the
people to meet the situation and
that he thinks they will.
The President thus indicated he
favors the voluntary cooperation
policy Of Secretary OF Agriculture
Anderson as against that of Acting
Secretary OF State Acheson, who
has mentioned such drastic meas
ures as Government seizure Of
wheat.
Rationing Possible.

hesitate to order rationing If a dis
