Veteran Groups Blame Low
Apprentice Pay on |naction

Failure of labor and management
groups to apply to the National
Wage Adjustment Board for higher
pay scales for apprentices has kept
wages so low that Washington vet
erans are refusing to go into the
construction industry, representa-
tives of two veterans organizations
reported today.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars and
American Veterans of World War II
said they had been investigating
after complaints from Washington
builders that the current apprentice
rates were too low to attract new
men into construction
The veterans investigators said
they found the apprentice training
section of the Labor Department
had approved higher wage scales for
apprentices, but that labor and man.
agement groups had failed to follow
through by going to the Wage Ad-
justment Board with specific cases.

reports that he would make an early

hoped the success of current Brit

make such action unnecessary.
The negotiations are under way

Egypt is seeking virtual independ-

Later, negotiations were reported to
have taken a turn for the better

he would not act further unless the
negotiations break down.

The special Senate Atomic Energy
Committee was disclosed to have

been preparing for months a provi-
sion for establishing a l4-man joint
Senate-House group authorized to
make a continuing study of atomic
controls and to sponsor legislation

1t would produce and own all fis-
sionable materials and radioactive
byproducts 1t could distribute them
in this country, with or without

therapy. Under the supervision OF
Congress and the President, it would
license the industrial use of atomic
energy
The commission would direct re-
search and development on military
phases and. when the President ap-
proved, could produce atomic bombs
and other similar weapons. The
President would direct when and in
what quantities it would deliver
atomic weapons to the armed forces
The commission ownership would
extend beyond fashionable materials

With a faltering spray of un-

CAT took off yesterday, with Brig
Gen. Henry A. Byroade aboard, un-
der orders to locate and land at the
secret headquarters of the Commu-

When the plane returned to Muk-

had failed to see Linn Piao person.
ally and open the peace talks. But
the 32-year-old subordinate of Gen
George c. Marshall brought back
the Red commanders chief of staff

Since fighting is still going on be-

mist forces, Linn Piao is actively
leading in the field. This reason was
given for the Communist generals
failure to meet Gen. Byroade
though the meeting had been ar
ranged by request from the Com
