Inter-Union Fight tHoIts Movie Work
JurisdictionoI
 Dispute Erupts For Third Time

Hollywood, Sept. 26 - (UP) - A long standing jurisdictional dispute erupted today into the motion pie ture industry's third tieup in a year as the Conference of Studio Unions strung picket lines around seven major studios.
 Mass demonstrations were order ed at Metro Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros, tscene of last years bloody movie strikes. Other studios on the picket list were RKO, Co., lumbia, Paramount, Universal and 10th Century-Fox.
 The Conference of Studio Unions called all it's 10000 members of their jobs and placed them on the picket lines after movie producers had discharged 1,500 AFL. carpen- ters and painters affiliated with the Conference.
 The carpenters and painters had refused to work on sets built by members of the rival A.F.L. Inter national Alliance of Theatrical and Stage employees. The C.S.U. charged that their dismissal constituted a lockout"
 In addition to the carpenters and painters, C.S.U., members pledged to join the picket lines included machinists, electricians and story analysts. Other affiliates, including press agenst and cartoonists, sched- uled meetings tonight to vote on whether to join the work stoppage.
 The Screen Actors Guild, to which most of the stars belong, previously had instructed it's mem- bers to ignore the picket lines.
 C-S.U. President Herbert Sorrell said that the unions were not strik- ing. He said the picket lines had been formed merely to advertise the lockout" of painters and carpenters.
 Byron Price, chairman of the board of Producers Association, aS- serted that the walkout was the third in a series of strikes caused by jurisdictional disputes between the C.SU. and the I.A.T.S.E,
 The C.SU. struck March 12, 1945, in a jurisdictional dispute with the I.A.TS.E. over 78 members of the C.S.U.- Affiliated Decorators Union. The dispute was settled eight months later when the National La- bor Relations Board, after five month delay over challenged ballots approved the C.S.U. claim.
 A second movie strike July 1 and was blamed by producers on an- other jurisdictional dispute between the C.S.U. and IA. .TS.E.

Milton Allertop, Waterbury, preSi- dent of the association, opened the morning session by welcoming the delegates after registration had been completed. He relayed mes sages of regret from several digni- taries who were unable to be pres ent, among them Sen. Robert A. Taft.
 Speakers at the first session were Calvin K. Snyder, executive secre- tary of the realtors Washington committee; Ray Hofford, executive vice. president of the Massachusetts Real Estate Board Association, and J. Francis Smith, president of the J. E. Smith Lumber Company.
 Specialization Plot Charged
 Charging a plot against home building, MT. Snyder claimed that experimenters in the National Housing Agency "are plotting the socialization of home production in the United States"
 MT. Snyder asserted that hoard ing of scarce building materials by the Federal Public Housing Author ity is one of the bottlenecks to private building Showing pictures of an FPHA stockpile at Redwood City, Cal, he said it contained such items as lumber, paint, plywood, nails, plumbing fixtures and soil pipe which are being "hoarded" by the agency while private builders were unable to get them to com- nletp hOn1ac f0r Uatoranc
 "Deep-seated schemes to plunge the country into 45-year commit ments for vast programs of social ized housing have resorted to sup presSion of truth, widespread dis semination of false statistics, and disguise of long-range economic aims" MT. Snyder declared in dis cussing the Wagner-Ellender-Taft long-range housing bill which was tabled in the closing days of the last Congress.
 Predicting that a vast govern ment propaganda machine will be turned loose to confuse the Ameri- can people when this bill is again presented to Congress" the Real tors Washington representative called on Connecticut realtors to take part in national campaign now being conducted by his organi- zation to make the complex WET bill understood by the average citi- zen.
 Private Initiative Needed

GeorgeHeo Found Guilty

London, Sept. 26-(UP)-A jury of ten men and two women today found dashing George Heath guilty of the sensational sex murder of movie extra Margery Gardner.
 Heath immediately was sentenced to death.
 The jury in Old Bailey rejected the defense plea that Heath was morally insane" when he killed his beautiful victim in his hotel room during an erotic frenzy. The de- fense had contended that insanity was proved by the sheer viciousness of his sadistic biting, whipping and choking of Mrs. Gardner.
 Heath's attorneys admitted that he killed Mrs. Gardner June 21 and then killed ex-Wren Doreen Mar shall in a similar attack less than two weeks later. T defense argued that the two killings were commit ted only when Heath suddenly went insane probably because of the strain of the war in which he served for five years. His escapades won him commissions on three occasions, but each time bad conduct resulted in his loss of rank.

Britons Denv Withdrawals From Greece
 Skirmishes Keep
 Troops in Nation;
 Expect Low, Order

London, Sept. 26.-CUP)-A gov- ernment source said today that the state of civil war existing in Greece makes withdrawal of Bri- tish troops from that country im- possible.
 A Foreign Office spokesman said, Britain has no intention of with drawing troops from Greece at any time in the near future.'
 This statement contradicted a report in the Lndon Daily Herald, Labor Party newspaper, that Bri- tish troops will be withdrawn from Greece "as soon as the necessary transport can be provided"
 Conditions Clarified
 The Foreign Office spokesman said the Greek government had been informed that British forces would be evacuated "as soon as conditions are suitable and their work is done" !"
 Suitable conditions" were de- fined here as including establish ment of stable Greek government and law and order throughout the country.
 An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Athens reported skirmishing between Greek government troops and opposition forces at several points in central and northern Greece. Government troops recap tured the town of Deskati in Thes- sally.
 British Not Involved
 A British Foreign Office spokes- man said yesterday that British forces are not involved in the fight ing, nor are British officers direct ing the Greek government forces. He said the Greek government has not asked the British to intervene thus far.
 The report that the British oc- cupation of Greece may be near an end coincided with the imminent departure of King George II of the HelleneS from London to Athens, where he will resume his reign. He was expected to fly from England today or tomorrow.
 A British Foreign Office spokes- man yesterday described the clash eS between government troops and opposition groups in mortimer Greece as "a Small-scale civil war"

Gov. Baldwin 'Powerless' On Vet Bonus
 His Altitude Is
 Issue Not Enough
 Of Emergency

Hartford, Sept. 26. CUP)-Al- though veterans organizations strongly urged at a Legislative Council public hearing that spe- cial session of the General Assem- bly, be summoned to exhibit pay ment of state bonus, 1t was con- sidered unlikely today that Gov R. E. Baldwin would convene such a session.
 The Governors attitude was that the bonus was not an emergency issue and that therefore he was powerless, under the Constitution to special session call.
 A majority of the approximately 100 veterans who attended yester- days Council hearing favored im- mediate action for amendment of the Constitution so that the states 240,000 service men and women would not have to wait until 1852 to collect. The Council was told that most of the returned service men were broke" and that bonus would help them get established.
 Inasmuch as the American Le- zion was not represented at the hearing, the Council adjourned un- til Oct. 16, by which time Legion naires will have returned from the San Francisco National Convention. At the State Legion Convention a month ago delegates were divided on the bonus issue and claims were presented that it was solely Fed eral responsibility
 Receiving the most support at the Council hearing was a plan for a $10 for each month of service to all who had been in the armed forces more than 90 days. The plan set a $100 minimum and $500 maximum.

tonight to act on Big Four irjunc- tions to speed up the Peace Confer ence machinery.
 Vishinsky's attack was made in the Balkan Economic Commission where he objected to American de- mands for compensation for prop erty damages in Romania.
 Thorp Defends United Nations
 Some countries,'' Vishinsky said, might be able to say how much the war cost them. Maybe it is because in our country we have no capital ists reaping profits while our sol- diers died on the battlefield"
 He accused Willard Thorp, Amer ican delegate, of statistical jug gling" to make it appear that the Russians were taking vast sums from Romania while the United States sought very small amounts.
 Thorp had attacked Russia for opposing United Nations requests for property compensation amount ing to less than $10O,O0000O while Russia and her satellites demand upwards of $2,0OO0 100000 from R,o- mania in reparations and occupa- tion costs.
 While our blood flowed" Vishin- sky said, you were making profits. That is why your declaration is un- worthy of a friendly country"
 Criticizes Air Attacks
 Vishinsky said he didn't wish to criticize American military action in Romania but he did believe that American air attacks continued long after they were necessary.
 He noted that Thorp mentioned he had obtained some of his figures from Romanian sources.
 "So Thorp probably has Roman ian informers," Vishinsky said sar- castically. T can give him addresses If he needs any more of them"
 He said there were only two American firms in Romania and that one calimed 1,500,000 900 lei in damages and the other 2,500, ,OOO, 900 lei. However, he charged that one firm had profted to the extent of 726,000, ,000 lei and the other to the amount of 500,0o0,o00 lei from Ger man war orders in 1943 while Rus sian homes and cities were being destroyed.
 The question what is Russia go- ing to do?" was a dominant topic among the weary delegates. Some Continued Page 7-(REnl

Pittsburgh, Sept. 26- UP) - An injunction against striking power workers of the Duquesne Light Company, was dis solved today at the re- quest of the city of Pitts burgh.

(UP) - Streetcar operators quit work for the duration of the local power strike today as the Allegheny County common pleas, court threat ened further action" against the $500 workers of the Du- quesne Light Company.
 The 3,400 streetcar opera tors were ordered out a few hours after the power work CTS voted 1,771 to 402 to con- tinue their walkout in defi- ance of an injunction.
 Harold Smith, secretary of Div1~ sion 85 of the Amalgamated Street and Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees Union (A.F.L)s said the men were withdrawn as protective measure" He said some of the men had been threatened with violence if they continued to operate the streetcars on "struck" power. Smith did not say who made the threats.
 Want Injunction Dissolved
 The action deprived Pittsburgh residents of even the limited street- car service which had been planned during the power strike. Only 200 of the city's 1,200 streetcars had been scheduled to operate today.
 The power strikers ignored com- pany offer of 8 percent wage tn- crease and other concessions ana voted to continue the crippling walkout until the anti-Strike tn- junction granted the city is dis solved by the courts.
 GA report from Washington
 said the Justice Department
 had started an Investigation
 into the legality of the injunc-
 ton. Justice Department of-
 ficials believed the injunction
 was contrary to the policy set
 forth in the Norris-LaG Guardia
 Anti-Injunction Act of 1932.)
 The decision to continue the walkout was in defiance of the union leaders who pleaded with the men to return to work. The To- man union strike committee, head ed by George L. Mueller, union chief released from jail after serving one day of years sentence for con- tempt, notified President Judge Harry H. Rowand of the common pleas court of the unions decision early today. The judge adjourned court until 9:30 A. M.
 we will take further action then" he said grimly.
 Released to Lawyer
 Mueller was released in the cus- tody of his lawyer yesterday after apologizing to the court for calling the injunction "a scrap of paper"
 The mood of the strikers reflected the temper of both the CI.O. and AF.L. members in the highly in- dustrialized Pittsburgh area who have rallied to the support of the independent light company union against the injunction.
 Between 30,000 and 10000 workers were believed idled by the power strike as mines, factories and busi- ness houses were forced to suspend operations.
 Many department stores and smaller business ablishments were closed entirely and household CTS were asked to use but a single light and eliminate the use of all but essential appliances. Hospitals operated normally but many office buildings were closed. Only those threaters with emergency genera tors were operating.
 The union is asking a 20 percent pay increase.
