BY the Assoeiafed Press

berS of the Los Angeles Herald Ex-
press unit of the CIO American
Newspaper Guild, went on strike to-
day after failing to reach an agree
ment on terms of new contract at
a meeting with representatives Of
the newspaper last night.
Victor DunSmore, business mana
ger of the Herald Express, said the
newspaper would suspend publica-
ton at once. He said there was no
immediate plan" to resume publica-
ton of the paper, an affiliate of the
William Randolph Hearst interests.

paper.
Richard (Tuck) Edwards, chair
man of the Guild unit, said SIS en-
ployes of the editorial, advertising

Iance departments of the paper would

porters and photographers, with pro-
portionate increases down the scale
The Herald Express has offered a
10 per cent increase or IS, whichever

Edwards said 10 per cent raise
would increase reporters to SIT and
circulation district managers to $63.

Navy's 'FDR' Skywriting
In Greece Hit by Daniels
BY the Associated Press

NEW, YORK, Sept. 4.-Jonathan
Daniels, a secretary to the late Pres
ident Roosevelt, yesterday described
the Navy's plans to write "FDR" in
in the skies over Greece tomorrow
as the first forgery by air power. u
Nothing could have been further
from Roosevelt'ss purpose than the
use of the American strength he
built for such a power demonstra-
tion in the Mediterranean" Mr..
Daniels said in a statement issued
from his home in Raleigh, N. C.
He insistently kept America
equally free of the communistic
purposes of Russia and the colonial
purposes of Britain" Mr.. Daniels
said.
1T is nothing less than forgery
to use his name in sky writing ad-
vertisement of policy which means
the distortion and rejection Of his
plans and purposes.
Rear admiral John H. Cassady,
aboard the carrier Franklin D.
Roosevelt in Naples Bay, last week
announced plans for the demonstra-
ton and said planes from the car
rier would stage the show "at the
request Of the Greek government. "

Bombay Quiet as Toll
Increases 10 146 Dead
After Day Of Fighting
BY the Associated Press

BOMBAY. India, Sept. 4.-Riot
weary Bombay was reported off,
cially to have ouieted tonight after
tumultuous day in which savage
| fighting between Hindus and Mos
lens raised the casualties since Sun
day to l46 dead and 484 wounded.
/ A communique from the informa
ton director said peace settled on
the city, for the moment at least
at $50 pm. apparently as a re-
suit of extension of the pm. to
$50 am. curfew to include about
80 per cent of the city"
Sporadic violence occurred last
night and police had to fire severaI
times to disperse rioting crowds.
Mobs Try to Enter Stores.
The disorders occurred mostly il
the northern section of the city, but
extended to the main business sec
ton, where mobs tried to break into
stores and attempted to burn house
OF worship. Streets in curfew areas
were Uttered with rocks hurled al
police patrols.
Under the threat of further
trouble, many places of business
closed their doors, while markets
began to feel the pinch of a food
shortage as deliveries fell off.
A health menace developed in one
troubled section where sewers be-
came clOgged and workers refused
to clean them in fear of their lives
Police announced that a total oi
l,l63 persons had been arrested or
variety of charges since the be-
ginning of the disorders.
Six persons were killed during
the night when police opened fire
on a mob which had placed road
blocks in a northeastern Bombay
residential section and set afire -four
trucks and two taxis.
At least five others were slain in
a kniflng fray when a group from
one community attempted to invade
a tenement. Thirteen others were
wounded in this incident.
Call Frantically for Police.
Hindus residing in tenements pre-
dominantly Moslem, and Moslems
who found themselves in a reverse
position, began sending frantic calls
for police escorts to safety as fighting
surged through the streets A police
sub-inspector was knitted while ans
Wering one such emergency call
A number of dwellings were wreck
ed by infuriated mobs which forced
their way inside and pitched the
furnishings into the streets. A school
was entered by one crowd and the
furniture and windows smashed.
Acting Governor Sir Alexander
Glow and Morarjai Desai, minister
for law and order, returned from
Poona and toured trouble areas in
Bombay preliminary to taking charge
of control measures. Additional
troops were poured into the city to
assist police
One of the first control measures
adopted was extension of the cur
few, effective from 7 pm. until
$50 pm, to approximately 80 per
cent OF the city. Heretofore the
curfew had been invoked only in
sections which had been the scene
of disorders.

Truman Expected 10 Decide

President Truman may have tC
intervene in a bitter row between

The President may have to call

Ihere Is only one workers delegate
from this country, although he has
several advisers.
up TO now the AFL, which helped
to found the ILO as part of the
League of Nations machinery in
1919, always has provided the dele
gate. Its international representa-
tive, Robert J. Watt, is an elected
member of the ILO governing body.
Mr.. Schwellenbach expressed the
view this year that the post should
be rotated between the CIO and
AFL, but the AFL reacted SO vio-
lently that he called in all con-
cerned, including representatives of
the railroads brotherhoods, two
weeks ago to air the issue.
They could not agree on a dele
gate. Now the Secretary must make

Mead Plans Early Call
For King TO Explain
Role in CanoI Project

The controversy that has flared
up between Fleet Admiral Ernest j.
King, retired chief of naval opera
tions, and the Senate War Investi-
eating Committee over his part in
the building of the Canol oil project
in Canada is due to be aired at a
public committee hearing soon.
Chairman Mead announced late
yesterday he will ask the committee
to invite Admiral King to appear at
the earliest possible date" but no
definite time has been fixed.
This was Senator Mead's reply to
Admiral Kings press statement
Monday, in which he charged the
committee with "willful distortion
of the facts" in discussing the Caaiof
project in its fifth annual report
made public Saturday night.
Somervell Also Criticized.
The committees report criticized
both Admiral King and Gen. Brehon
Somervell, wartime chief of the
Army Service Forces, for approving
continuance of the project in De-
cember, l943. Senator Mead said
the committee felt at that time the
project should be discontinued, and
he asserted later evidence proved
that the $133, 900 project served
no useful military purpose and was
Wanton waste of money, manpower
and materials"
Continuing, Senator Mead declared
yesterday:
Admiral King has stated that
when he informed the committee in
December, 1943, that the completion
and operation of the Canol project
was necessary to the war effort, he
was acting merely as a member Of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The COM
mittee report made this clear. How
ever the committee feels that Ad-
miral King. who was then COM
mander-in-chief of the United
States Navy (aS we'll as chief of
naval operations. gave expression
as member of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to view completely contrary
to the official one expressed by the
Navy Department with regard to the
Canol project"
Regrets Criticism.
Senator Mead also charged yester-
day that on December Is, 1943, Ad-
miral King turned down in writing
Ia request that had been made by
President Truman, then chairman
jof the Senate Investigating Com
mittee, to have committee repre-
sentatiVes examine files of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff to find out why they
had ordered completion of the pro-
ject.
Senator Mead said the reason for
the refusal was that national secur-
ity might be endangered. The SEN
ator contended, however, that in
July, 1916, with hostilities over.
specific facts were not furnished by
Admiral King or the Joint Chiefs of
Staff in support of their previous
order on the Canol project.
Under these circumstances" SEN
ator Mead continued, the COM
mittee regrets that Admiral King,
who rendered great service to the
Nation in wartime, has seen fit to
criticize it for expressing an opinion
on the part which he played in this
inexcusable project"
