Carrier Stocks Rally

NEW YORK, Dec. IA wide up

today's stock market although most
other departments failed to partici-

persistent pessimism over the ma

With the bulge in the transporta-

the final session was the most pro-

with the carriers coming out in
blocks OF 1000 to $4,000 shares.
Speed characterized the opening
although the ticker tape kept up

Cathedral, Barracks
Attacked as Riotinq
spreads in Egypt
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, Feb. 2l.-Swarms of
demonstrators, shouting Down
with England" attacked All Saints
Anglican Cathedral, attempted to
invade a British Army barracks,
burned military stores and touched
off riot, disorder and gunfire in
Egypt today.
Responding to a call of student
and union leaders for a general
one-day strike in Egypt's principal
cities as a demonstration of their
determination to have British
troops withdraw from all the Nile
Valley, from 100000 to 10000 per-
sons roamed the streets and squares
of Cairo. The city's shops and fac
tories were closed
Bishops House Looted.
The crowd attacking the cathe-
dral in Cairo looted the bishops
house and set fire to the cathedral
hall. Another throng set fire to
an Raj storehouse in downtown
Cairo, and guards who opened fire
wounded three.
A group of about 100 students and
workers attacked the British KaSr
El Nil barracks and were driven off
by gunflre.
The attack came after two trucks
bearing British Army markings had
ploughed through a crowd of demon
strators IN a nearby street. At least
one Egyptian was killed and several
were injured by the trucks.
10000 Jam Square.
A crowd of 10000 persons jammed
Abdin Palace Square today after
widespread strikes closed Cairo's
shops and factories.
Under the watchful guard of two
Egyptian Army tanks, 20 armored
cars and six truckloads of soldiers
stationed in the square as a pre-
cautionary measure, the demonstra-
tors shouted Evacuation of British
troops or bloodshed" and down with
England, down with the conqueror. !"
A large number of police were
scattered throughout the city and
foreign establishments were heavily
guarded following a call for a gen.
eral strike by student and labor
union leaders. The strike call re-
suited in the shuttering of shops
and factories and the hating of
Streetcar service.
Mob Refuses to Disperse. q
Lighted torches were thrown by
the rioters into the Kasr Ell Nil
Barracks which are the biggest in
the city. British troops replied with
machine guns. There were no signs
of the mob dispensing.
A special correspondent for Reu-
tiers, who witnessed the battle, said
every car passing through the square
near the barracks was attacked and
the area was one of swaying bodies
pushing at the barracks gates.
which British troops had succeeded
in slamming shut.
Military trucks, one of them load
ed with ammunition, were set on
fire. Smoke billowed over the fight
ing throng. Exploding shells from
the burning vehicle caused the
crowd to break from the gates and
seek safety while continuing to hurl
missiles at the barracks.

Senator Tobey also said he did
not believe Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal could be regarded as IAN
exponent of the confirmation of Mr.
Pauley" from the statement the
Secretary presented to the COM
mittee yesterday.
Mr.. Pauley's belief that he will
be confirmed is not shared by Dem
ocrats at the Capitol who are in
close touch with the situation on
the floor. These sources expect at
least 10, and probably more, Demo-
|crats to vote against him. Even if
the nominee should get two or
three votes on the Republican side
= possibility this would still
mean an opposition total OF about
IS. Allowing for the usual number
of absentees on any roll call, this
would be a heavy vote to overcome.
The afternoon session yesterday
was marked by further sharp ex-
changes between committee mem
bers. When Senator Tydings,
Democrat, of Maryland, was pre-

In view of this" the statement
added, ''it would be ridiculous to as
sert that the communication of
such insignificant secret data could
create any danger whatsoever for
the security of Canada.
1T cannot be accepted as coinci-
dence that the statement Of Mr..

moment of the ending Of the United

of the Soviet delegation were made
in defense of the principles of
democracy and the independence Of
small countries.
apparently the statement of Mr..
Mackenzie King and the anti-Soviet
campaign which developed in con-
nection with this in Canada pre-
sents something In the nature of an
answer to the unpleasantness
caused to the friends of Mr.. Mac

menting on the Russian statement
in an editorial captioned "The Rid

binary admission that her agents

no less extraordinary defense.
What she says in effect is: Yes,
we did get hold of these secrets, but
we were justified because they were
not very good secrets-in fact we
knew more about them than the
Canadians
ITO add to the fantasy, the Rus

Cancellation Chief
Agrees 10 Take Hand
In Telephone Dispute
BY the Assoeioied Press

Edgar L. Warren, director of the
Labor Department Cancellation
Service, agreed today to seek settle
ment OF grievances of 250,000 tele-
phone workers threatening a strike.
Mr.. Warren telegraphed Joseph
A. Bierne, president Of the National
Federation of Telephone Workers
who last night requested Govern
ment intervention-that the con-
ciliation service will render what
ever assistance possible"
The federation, meeting in Mem
phis. Tenn, has given its Executive
Board authority to order a strike
whenever it considers proper" but
has not yet set strike date.
Asks Him to Confer Here.
Mr.. Warren asked Mr.. Bierne to
confer with him on the situation as
soon as the NFTW president re-
turns to Washington.
In his telegram, sent to Secretary
CT Labor Schwellenbach and the
telephone company management.
Mr.. Bierne promised a strike would
not be called until after we have
talked with YOU
He added, however, that "a strike
seems inevitable unless you inter-
vene with some suggested rene
dies"
While Mr.. Beirne said at Memphis
ne was not in favor of setting a
strike date at this time, a spokes-
man for the opposition said there
is stlll strong sentiment in favor of
a strike call"
More Direct Action Urged.
John j. Moran, president of the
Federation of Long Line Telephone
workers, appeared as spokesman for
IL OF the federations so afiliates,
urging more direct action. He told
newsmen at Memphis some of the
delegates want to delay strike action
while others want a date set def
nitely-and pretty soon, too"
The debate was set off YESTERDAY
by request for a definite strike
call date by leaders of 18 unions
which have already complied with
the Smith-Connally Act by filing
strike notices last month. They
represent about 10000 workers.
Included in the group is the West

have price adjustments to meet the
wage demands of their employees.
Senator Mcfarland, Democrat, of
Arizona, broke in to urge Mr.. Porter
not to let Senator Taft's steel prob
lens get ahead OF the milk problem
in his State.
Senator Murdock, Democrat, of

brought to his attention by Senator
