/. That the Pacific Coast shipping
industry comes into the negotiations
today for the first time, with dis
cussions starting between Pacific
ship operators and the Marine Fire
mems Union-an independent group.
The Navy moved into the fast
developing picture last night, adding
punch to President Truman's prom
ise to keep the ships going even if
he had to use the armed forces to
do it.
Two orders were dispatched to
naval stations from the Secretary
of the Navy:
l. Commandants were instructed
to recruit volunteers from among
discharged Navy men--volunteers
who would stand by, to be called to
active duty on merchant ships if
needed. The order said men with
deck, radio, and engineering ex-
perience are especially in demand
Two and a half million men have
been released from the Navy since
last August.
2. Naval stations and fleet COM
manders were instructed to report
within "a hours how many men
they now have who are experienced
IN handling and slowing cargo"
No ex-Navy man will be called
to active duty just now-but volun-
teers will stand ready to be called
If the strike of CIO seamen and
dock workers goes on
May Halt Demobilization.
One Government official said a
logical next step would be for the
Navy to halt the demobilization of
all sailors who have experience that
would be valuable in sailing mer-
chant ships.
Principal negotiations so far have
centered around the workweek of
a man on shipboard Seamen now
work 56 hours week at sea, stew
ards 63 hours. Both groups work
A hours week when in port.
One of the key demands of the
Committee for Maritime Unity, a
group of six CIO maritime unions
and one independent group, has
been 40-hour week at sea and in
port.
The operators also renewed several
earlier proposals which the National
Maritime Unions membership re-
jected in an election May q. These

Mrs. Suber said the man got out
of the car in leisurely fashion,
locked it and walked north on Sixth
street NV.
Gilbert Nelson, 27, of 5722 Sixty
fourth avenue, Riverdale, Md, a
Keystone Automobile Club salesman,
said he spotted the missing car after
reading the license plate numbers
in newspapers. He called traffc
policeman, who summoned homicide
squad investigators.
Servicemen Checked.
Detectives said letters found in
the victims rooms from number Of
servicemen indicated the murderer
may be a soldier or sailor stationed
at a nearby camp. Neighbors also
said servicemen frequently were
guests at Glendening's apartment.
Police are checking camps in the
Washington area to determine If the
authors of the letters addressed to
Glendening are still in this vicinity.
The 2-foot-long Indian war club
found beside the body of Glen
dening is being studied by police
department technicians, Inspector
Robert J. Barrett, chief of detec-
tives, said, in the hope that finger
prints may be found. Homicide
squad investigators said a substance
which appeared to be blood was
found on the highly polished knob
at the end of the weapon. Special
Investigator David Ennis said yes
terday the club was the murder
weapon.
1t. Roy Blick, special police in
vestigator, revealed Glendening was
arrested twice in recent years for
investigation in connection with sex
offenses. 1t. Blick said a search
of Glendening's room in the 1900
block of Twelfth street NV, after
his arrest in February, 1914, un-
covered Army, Navy and Marine
uniforms valued at more than $4,000.
Checking names found in the uni
forms, 1t. Blick said, indicated the
serviceman-owners had left the uni
forms in Glendening's place so they
would have place to change clothes
when they came to Washington on
leave. The equipment was returned
to the armed forces, 1t. Blick said.
Glendening's nude body was found
on blood-soaked bed early yester-
day, according to Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald. Dr.. Macdonald
said an autopsy showed the victims

manager at the store, spoke to Glen
dening about a repair job in Mount
Rainier, Md.
The body was discovered in the
elaborately furnished f1rst-floor
apartment on E street when Miss
Lucille Cassell, who lives in the base
ment of the house, noticed the odor
of a burned ironing board in the

Canada Seeks New Meeting
OF Seomen's Strike Factions

OTTAWA, June 4 (R).-The Ca
madam Labor Department. continu-
ing efforts to settle a strike by the
Canadian Seamen's Union (AFL),
said it was attempting to arrange a
meeting here today or tomorrow be-
tween the union and ship owners.
A proposed meeting yesterday
failed to materialize when the own
ers did not appear. Labor. Depart
ment officials said they had received
no word from the owners, but were
hopeful they would attend the con-
ference today or tomorrow.
Trade Minister James MacKinnon
said the shipment of Canadian grain
overseas would not be affected unless
the strike should continue for more
than month. The walkout, called
to enforce demands for an unre-
stricted eight-hour day, is applicable
only to Lakes shipping.

A wage increase of $3.50 a month
for unlicensed personnel; a rise in
the overtime rate from the present

and 81, depending on the ratio.
(The union is asking a jump to be-

duction of stewards hours from 63
to Sc hours week on the high seas.
Relief System" Proposed.
Later the union presented a re
lief system" plan designed to show
that by carrying relief men it would
be practical to have less than the
traditional 56-hour work week.
The operators studied this pro-
posal last night but when the two
groups gathered for their negotiat-
ing session at the unusual hour of
1890 pm, they were not ready to
discuss it. Therefore the electrician
topic came up.
Yesterdays talk showed one thing
that both sides were willing to
yield at least something. But no
one regarded the various proposals
as approaching a real meeting of
