the history of ancient Greece.
ATHENS might have maintained
her substantial record had not
debauchery, immortality and a
spoiled youth become the order
of the day." Mr.. Khayat declar-
er, ATHENS, like other great places
that find a place in history, fell
broken completely-and today
we have only a written record
plus the runins of a once great
empire.
America stands today on the
precipice of its destiny. America
needs good citizens-strong, fine,
clean young people. The world
today needs a strong youth. You
can be that type of youth"
Mr.. Khayat offered a plan to
his young audience based on the
word Citizen" embodying the
qualities they should have and
cultivate: Courage. initiative,
training, interest, zeal, education,
and naturalness.

Yards Get
Pay Hike, 40
Hour Week
Retroactive Pay
Is Gronted After
Joint Conference

Two major changes in the en-
ployment picture at the ingalls,
shipyards here-an 18-cent-an-
hour pay raise in all classified
tions, and institution of the 40
hour work week to replace the
48-hout week-went into effect
this week following an agreement
arrived at bv officials of the In
gals Shipbuilding Corporation
and tie Pascagoula Metal Trades
Council.
The yard went on a five-dav
week effective Immediately, whicl
meant that the yards were sched-
uled to be closed Saturday and
SUNDAY except FOR the usual
standby maintenance men and
guard force.
As part of the agreement, the
l8-cent raise will be paid to Ill
employees retroactive to April
l. 1t was also agreed that retro
active pay might be extended to
an earlier date than April /, to
the extent that government agen-
cies were willing to reimburse
the company for this retroactive
pay.
The pay raise was authorized
several months ago by two fed
eral agencies, including the Gull
Shipbuilding Sterilization com
mittee.
40-Hour Week
In earlier statements the COM
pany said it would be forced to
go to the basic 40-hour week IL
the 18-cent raise we're instituted,
in order to eliminate overtime
payments and compensate for The
raise. Under the 48-hour week,
workers received time-and-a-half
pay for the last eight hours al
ter the 40 hour week had been
worked, SO that they drew straight
hourly pay on the basis of So
hours. On the lowest pay scales,
the combination of reduced hours
and higher hourly rate would
result in takehome pay checks
mot counting retroactive pay
only about so cents less than they
We're under the 48-hour week. At
the highest end of the scale, how
ever. the men who formerly made
a $1.20 were due to feel an average
reduction of about $7.20 in the
weekly check.
The following joint statement
was issued April is by the nego-
tiating committee of Metal Trades
Council and j. Paul Keefe, In
gals director of public and labor
relations.
THE Metal Trades Department,
American Federation of Labor,
through Pascagoula Metal Trades
Council reached an agreement to-
day with the ingalls, Shipbuilding
Corporation covering the Pasca-
goula plant providing for wage
increase of Ia cents per hour for

Unjust to Groups.
Candida r. Patting, an attorney
now employed in a Government de-
partment here, declared the natur-
alization bill would work injustice
on four main groups of Filipinos
who have not lived continuously
since 1884 in the United States.
These include Filipino wives of
American veterans of the Spanish
American War and Philippine In
surrection; Filipino husbands of
American citizens who returned to
the Philippines since 1884, and their
children born in the Philippines;
Filipino wives and children of Fill
pinos who became naturalized Amer
lean citizens since the World War,
and Filipino parents of American
born children.
Those people should be granted
American citizenship after July 4,
SO they can remain in the United
States with their family members
who are citizens, he said. When
they came to the United States
they were thoroughly screened" by
FBI and customs officials so that
! their loyalty and backgrounds are
beyond question, he added.
Cites War Hardships.
Many of the people, Mr.. Patting
explained, endured hardships during
the late war in the Philippines. He
himself was in the Philippines dur
ing part of that time, but, because
he has not lived continuously in the
United States since 1884, he believes
that, as in the case of many others,
he might be classified as an alien
and be subject to deportation after
July 4.
Moreover, Mr.. Patting added, If

that approximately $4,000 not only
