Early Senate Action
On Military Merger
Sought by Gurney
BY the Associated Press

Senator Gurney, Republican, Of
South Dakota, called today for early
action on President Truman's pro-
posal for Army-Navy merger legis-
lation so Congress will know what
to do about other pressing military
problems.
Senator Gurney, member of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
told reporter he thinks it will be
impossible for legislators to act in
telligently on extension of the draft,
universal military training, legisla-
ton to fix the size of the Army and
Navy and the military budgets until
it disposes of the merger proposal.
We ought to get this thing set
tied one way or the other so that
we can go ahead" he declared.
There's either going to be merger
or there isn't. Let's find out so we
know where we stand"
A three-member subcommittee in
Guiding Chairman Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah, and Senators Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama, and Austin,
Republican, of Vermont, may reach
final decision this week on the
form of the merger legislation.
While the three repeatedly are
agreed on autonomy for the Air
Forces, unity of command and
merger of auxiliary service branches,
they are said to be still undecided
whether to recommend that the
setup be operated under one or three
civilian cabinet members.
Senator Gurney said he hoped
the recommendation would be for a
single armed forces secretary, as
Mr.. Truman proposed,
On the other hand, Senator Rus
sell, Democrat, of Georgia, Naval
Committee member, said that while
he favors unity of command he
doesn't want to see the separate
branches Jumped up together"
where they would lose their identity.

advised by the city's corporation
counsel that such recognition would
be violation of State laws.
The demanded wage increase was
viewed by Mr.. O'Dwyer as a "just
cause"
Earlier, Mr.. Murray said he had
mo comment whatsoever to make"
concerning the situation, but in a
conversation with Mr.. ODwyer
early last week he professed willing
ness to explore the possibilities of
preventing a strike
Mr.. Murray had been expected to
come here today from Washington
presumably to discuss the matter.

for the C1O, said neither the union
chief nor any of his deputies
planned to do so.
Seeks 81 Daily Increase.
The TWU, headed by City Coun-
Gilman Michael j. Quill, seeks a 50
daily wage increase for all en-
ployes. Mr.. Quill offered to "step
out" of negotiations personally if
it would help achieve a settlement
of issues at stake.
TWU claims to represent a major
ity of the city's $4,000 transit en-
ployes, but since other unions also
represent many of them it was a
matter of conjecture how many men
would participate in a strike or what
the exact effect of such action
would be.
Mr.. Quill declared a TWU walk
out would paralyze transit opera
tions. The transportation employees
operate subWays, buses, streetcars
and elevated lines of the municipal
ly-oWned unified transit system.
Mobilizing Manpower.
To meet the threat, the city was
mobilizing all available manpower
SO as to try to keep the transporta-
ton lines operating, while the
municipal Disaster Control Board
prepared plans for handling related
matters.
The Board of Transportation was
to meet tomorrow for a study of
the general situation.
A month ago the TWU precipi-
tated a strike crisis over a demand
that three subway power plants not
be sold without public referendum
MIR. ODwyer yielded to the union
shortly before a deadline for the
strike to begin.
