He wanted uniform agreement applicable to both coasts.
 Pacific operators gave flat no. What they feared the engineers tie-up with the Harry Bridges Committee for Maritime Unity and the possibility that the unions might soon be telling the owners whom they could hire as officers.
 Two meetings were held on Sunday without much progress. Monday night at 80 the operators went back into session with Trainer The strike deadline four and half hours away. All through the evening they struggled to word an agreement.
 
 At 2:2O A. M the clause was finally agreed on and nitaled. Everything looked rosy Secretary o Labor Schwellenbach called in and Captain Harry Mar tin of the Masters, Mates and Pilots was persuaded to enter the room even if Trainer was there.
 Schwelenbach said the strike could be called off Whereupon Trainer said no, since agree ments had been made two hours and 20 minutes after the deadne the strike would till the wage issue was settled.

 The meeting broke up at A. M. with everybody mad at everybody else They'll get it settled eventual ly, but this incident is illustrative of how touchy things in maritime labor relations.
 AFL. and CLO. rivalries in the sailors, Steve- dores, and officers unions have put terrible squeeze on the shipowners and created unlimited trouble on the waterfront. Things apparently aren't going to get any better till both labor and manage ment put their houses in order.

MIR. BICKEL DIFFERS WITH THE DEMOCRATS EDITORIALS REGARDING SOCTALIZED
 MEDICINE
35 Fairview Street, Waterbury 76, Conn,
 October g, 1946

35 Fairview Street, Waterbury 76, Conn, October g, 1946 Editor of The Democrat: Your recent editorials on Social. ized Medicine" seem to me a sac departure from the stand that en. frightened, progressive people hae hoped The Democrat would take.
 Your editorials were direct at- tacks on the proposed Wagner Murray-Dingell Bill which woulc put the payment of medical care on compulsory insurance basis just as Social Security insurance is handled today.
 You said in one of your editorials that the Bill would deprive patients of their time honored right to select their own doctor This is not true A reading of the Bill will show that this is not the intent and purposes of the measure.
 The intent and purpose of the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Act is sim ply to help every wage-earner se- cure adequate medical attention This is not the case today. And because the fee-for-service system discourages people from getting full medical attention when they first need it, there exists a cause for fear on the part of medical pro- fession who profit most under the present set-up.
 This not only includes the high price specialists, the profession personality boys, but it also in- cludes the patent-medicine trusts and the peddlers of surgical sup plies al of whom profit on the miseries of the sick, the lame and the neurotic.
 You recall what Hitler is reported to have said about repeating a lie. Say it often enough and people will begin to believe it. The lie that compulsory health insurance is so- cialized medicine, and that it will harm the delicate relationship be- tween doctor and patient has been repeated many times in the last ten years.
 No, the Wagner -Murray-Dingell Bill, is not socialized medicine. It is not concerned with regulating or restricting the practice of medicine, or of regimenting the doctors. Such nonsense was invented with the purpose to deceive, and is evil there fore.
 In your editorial last Saturday you went hook-line-and-sinker for the editorial writing by Dr. Charles c. Burlingame, president of the Hartford Institute of Living. If I remember correctly, the good doctor released his blast after the City of Hartford sued for and col lected back taxes-or took away the subsidy of the Institute, be- cause it was found to be a profit

 members of the Navy's Truculent Turtle will make
 detailed report to the Navy Department of scien- tific phenomenon that occurred while their ice- crusted plane flying at 12000 feet between Reno, Nevada and Ogden Utah.
 The propeller of the Truculent Turtle was envel- oped by huge halo of "t Elmo's Fire" an electro magnetic discharge that resembles greenish- blue flame and is four times as bright as the Northern Lights.
 "St Elmo's Fire" is not to science. Its dis covery dates back to the Middle Ages, when the kind of electrical glow was observed around church steeples
 However, Commander Davies will report that never before in his experience 8 Navy pilot has an airplane undergone such a freaklsh hazard
 Small fingers of the blinding electrical flame darted up inside the buetproof windshield not inside the cockpit but inside the very glass itself creating strange neon effect Commander Davies disclosed in
 preliminary report to superior officers at the Navy Department
 Meantime all radio reception in the Ttuculent Turtle cut off
 "It made our hair stand end for while" Commander Davies reported to friends. Of course, knew that we were safe because the gas tanks were well protected inside the plane, but it's hard to be objective when you are up in the clouds at night in cockpit and something like that hits you"
 Later, when the planes windshield was exam ined no apparent damage had been done to the glass by the freakish incident

Rio Demonstrators
Fooled in New Riots
BY the Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 3l.-Riot-
ing which stemmed from Brazil's
economic crisis killed one person
and injured nearly 100 as mobs
moved through downtown streets
smashing store windows last night.
Sporadic attempts to renew the
demonstrations today were foiled
when merchants, after opening their
shops briefly, slammed steel shutters
across the store fronts. Police at the
same time were busy dispensing
crowds.
Police reported 200 registered Com
munists had been arrested. The au-
thorities prohibited the use of
Communist headquarters.
An extraordinary session of Con-
gress was being considered.
Plate glass from store fronts was
scattered throughout the business
section of the Brazilian capital. The
mobs, protesting against high living
costs, attacked movies, grocery
stores, music shops and even funeral
parlors.
Troops occupied strategic points
at midnight, but later returned to
barracks.
Federal Police Chief Pereira Lira
said in an official communique that
the riot in which groups of high
school students participated, was
inspired by more serious motives
than a mere student demonstration.
He did not elaborate, however.

Unsafe, Japs Declare
by the Assoeiofsd Press

TOKYO, Aug. 31.-Allied generals
and distinguished visitors quartered
at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel were
warned today by the Nippon Times
that the building was condemned
many years ago and was about to be
torn down when the war started.
One wing Of the ornate building,
with its winding stariways and cub
icles, was destroyed by Allied bomb
ing, but it was taken over as the
principal billet when the occupation
of the city began last September %.
The Times, in an editorial, said
the hotel had enormously been
labeled as earthquake-proof, but was
in reality one Of the most dangerous
buildings in Tokyo in that respect.
An American, Frank Lloyd Wright,
designed the hotel.
At Taliesin, Mr.. Wright's estate
near Spring Green, Wis, the archi-
tect commented:
1.-THE Imperial has proved itself.
It stood through two earthquakes
and think 1t is the only earth
Quake-proof building in Tokyo.
