Selection Of Captains
REGARDLESS Of Unions
Is Crux Of Ship Strike
By james Y. Newton

The issue of the right of man
agement to select ships captains
today delayed settlement of the 16-
day shipping strike on the East and
Gulf Coast.
AFL Masters. Mates and Pilots
Union, one of the two groups
of merchant marine officers who
walked out October l, baked at the
insistence of Eastern shipowners
that a new contract should leave
with the owners the right to select
masters without regard to union
membership or nonmembership."
Meanwhile, the second union, CIO
Marine Engineers, warned Secretary
of Labor Schwellenbach that its
negotiators would leave Washington
unless arrangements for resump-
ton of contract talks with opera
tors were made by noon today.
Blame Laid on Owners.
The negotiations between the AFL
masters and the owners are taking
place in New York. The East and
Gulf Coast operators had said they
would talk with the CIO when the
AFL conferences were ended.
The CIO union asked Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach to arrange another con-
ference and asserted that response
bility for ''prolongation of the
strike with its terrific toll rests
squarely with the shipowners,"
West Coast owners, whose vessels
also are idle. have not taken part
in recent settlement talks. Efforts
have been concentrated in getting
settlement in the East, where diff
ferences, especially on the question
of union security and hiring of
union officers. have not been so
great. West Coast operators have
refused to give any ground on these
points.
Wage Increase Ordered.
Eastern operators made the new
proposal containing the right to
hire captains of their own choice
yesterday in New York. Capt Har-
ry Martin, head of the AFL Mas
ters, said the union would consider
the proposal overnight, but added
their answer would be no"
The Eastern owners also offered
tho NdoSters and Mates fiat wage
increase of about % per cent, a
20 per cent boost in overtime rates
and a % per cent increase in night
relief duty payment. 1t also in
cluded preference of hiring and
of membership for all
members of the union except the
Capt. Martin said the basic wage
raises we're "all right but said he
was not satisfied with the overtime,
light rates or security clause.

Chief Justice Vinson, had to 60

in the Vinson car and the Chief
Justice drove off with it when he
departed ahead of his colleague.
Mr.. Truman was almost late for
the appointment as he stayed in his

World Series.
Sitting with the President was his
secretary, Matthew J. Connolly, a
Boston rooter. The President is an
ardent Cardinal fan.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross

that the members of the court would
be in formal attire and he hastened
to the White House and made a
"fireman's change"
When the jurists arrived, however,
all were in business suits, and the
President was subjected to good

The Bat is considered an effective
weapon against ships or land targets
which can be clearly identified on
its radar selector. With stubby,
swept-back wings and a heavy load.
it glides at fighter plane speed aided
by gyroscopic stabilizers and control
surfaces which move to keep the
target centered on the screen.
The device was developed as a
silent weapon against surfaced Nazi
submarines and underwent extensive
tests in Chesapeake Bay during the
war. The Bat did not get into COM

months of the war in the Pacific.
In comparatively short time, it
was credited with sinking many tons

stroyer, and blowing up several i'm
