Former Norfolk Minister
To Wed CoIored Woman

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The Rev
Frank White, 81, former minister
of the Unitarian Church of Norfolk.
Va, announced yesterday he would
marry Miss Anne Anderson, colored
also OF Norfolk, January 80 in New
York.
Mr.. White said the ceremony
would be performed at the Abys-
sinian Baptist Church, where the
pastor is Rev. Adam Clayton Powell
He said the Rev. Claude Williams
founder and leader of the Institute
OF Applied Religion, would off1ciate
He said he and Miss Anderson
would head regional Office of the
institute in New York after their
marriage.
Asked in an interview his views
on marriage, Mr.. White said:
Marriage is not an individual
matter. 1t is a social matter. If
it were private affair there would
be no witnesses to marriages and
no public weddings. No two in
dividuals stand alone and apart
from the rest of society, and it is
faltering nonsense to hide any
longer behind outdated, apologetic
notions"
At Norfolk, John c. Davis, presi-
dent and ex-off1cio board member
OF the Unitarian Church, said many
women members of the congrega-
ton ceased attending services in
protest against the pastors attitude
toward love and marriage and that
at least 80 per cent of the church
earnestly desired his resignation. =
Mr.. Davis added that the minis
ter's letter Of resignation was writ

quainted Mr.. White with the con-

Lithographers Seek
Permission 10 Strike
Against Eight Firms

Amalgamated Lithographers I'm
ion, Local 13 (CIO), today sought
the sanction of its international to
file strike notice against eight area
firms.
Meeting at the Knights of Colum-
bus Hall yesterday, about ITS Ithog-
raphers voted unanimously to take
the action. Business Agent NAL
colin Lightfoot said the Graphic
Arts Association, representing some
of the firms, had refused to listen
to contract proposals.
The lithograpters have had two
bargaining sessions since presenting
contract terms September 10. GAA
represents the Haynes Lithograph
Co. of Silver Spring. Md; the
Guthrie Lithograph Co. and the
Sauls Paragraph Co., with whom
the union has separate contracts,
and the Webb & Bocorseiski Co.
Seek General Contract.
The union desires to draw up one
contract covering all four, as well
as Williams & Heintz Co., National
Litho Co., Craftsman Press of Alex
andria and Federal Lithograph Co.
Even should strike notice be filed
with the Labor Department, another
bargaining date scheduled for next
Thursday will be kept Mr. Lightfoot
said.
The hthographers have asked a
20 per cent wage increase and have
been offered cents an hour to all
elassifications, the business agent
said. The average present Wages in
the craft is $685.. he said. IN The
highest paid jobs. involving color
separation, photographers. process
artists and dot etchers, the union
asks increases of from $74 and $40
to s97.50.
But the wage question, has not
been discussed. Mr.. Lightfoot said
the only points considered thus far
were whether the employees would
work IS hours instead of the pres
ent 40 and have two weeks paid
vacation instead of one.
Mr.. Lightfood said about $50 litho-
graphers belonged to the union, but
that half of them were employed
by the Government and not directly
concerned with the negotiations.
The union also is asking eight
holidays instead of six and several
points in union security.
If strike sanction is given by
William j. Riehl of New York, in
ternational president, the union
will file notice within the next few
days, Mr.. Lightfoot said,
Surprised by the unions decision,
George P. Mallonee, chairman Of
the GAA Industrial Relation Com
mittee, deferred comment pending
official notification by the union.

News Guild Warns
On Wage Demands
by the Axxoeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 28-The Ma
tional Collective Bargaining Com
mittee Of the American Newspaper
Guild (CIO) asserted yesterday that
further newspaper strikes ARE in
evitable unless American publishers
meet realistically their employees
demands for improved standards
The committee said organized
newspaper employees have fatty re-
jected the 1917 per cent formula for
wage settlements advanced by news
paper publishers, intended to COM
promise the ANG national wage pro-
gram"
The statement continued:
Several publishers have learned
this and there are signs that the
publisher front is cracking in many
places.
Strikes similar to that now in
progress against the Los Angeles
Herald Express are inevitable unless
publishers meet realist-
cally their employees demands for
standards.
The committee has discussed
fully the situation on the Associated
Press, the Philadelphia Record and
the Camden Courier-Post. 1t be-
lieves that the Record and the

phia- Camden Guild would be COM
pletely justified in quitting work

Stern persists in his campaign to

and continues his attacks on the

The committee finds that the As

tempt to avoid paying its employees
the full increases to which they are
entitled, has preached It's contract
with the guild and has violated the
National Labor Relations Act, The
committee Is confident that the guild
units on the Associated Press will
know how to treat with tactics of

To Seize IVA; Dispute
Remains DeadIocked
By the Assoeiaied Press

Pressure for Government seizure
of the strike bound Trans World
Airline appeared likely to mount
today eas the deadlock over pilot
wages. entered its second week.
Mediation efforts continued with
out interruption over the week end
but produced no progress reports.
Frank Douglass, chairman of the
National Mediation Board, met with
David L. Behncke, president of the
AFL Airline Pilots Association, yes
terday nAorning and with Jack Frye,
,TWA president, in the late after
noon.
: Meanwhile, officials of 13 other
airlines which will be affected by
the oEtcome of the dispute over pay
demands for the men who fly four
engine craft held a strategy con-
ference at the Carlton Hotel.
p, Others Agree With Frye.
A representative of the group said
there would be no statement in view
of Mr.. Douglass request to Mr..
Frye and Mr.. Behncke that they
make no announcements relating to
the mediation efforts.
p However, the conference admit
:tedly was an assessment of the sit
uation as it affects the Is carriers,
all members of the airlines negotiat-
ing committee formed to deal with
the pilots union.
One industry representative says
privately that the other carriers are
supporting Mr.. Frye's view that
firm Government action holds the
only prospect for early resumption
of TWAS $1,000 miles of routes
across Europe and North Africa
and into Saudi Arabia
Mr.. Behncke similarly has said his
pilots would prefer to work for the
Government, but Federal officials
concerned with aviation have been
chary of such suggestions.
Refuses to Deal With Group.
AS result of yesterdays meeting,
the airlines probably will make
concerted effort to convince the Gov
eminent that the issues involved in
the current strike are of as much
concern to all carriers as to TWA.
and that the Government has
broader interest than that repre-
sented by single walkout.
Mr.. Behncke thus far has refused
to deal with the carriers as a group.
Instead he is contesting with TWA
over demands of the four engine
pilots and is negotiating with Ameri-
can Airlines, Inc, for pay increases
for two engine flyers. The AA dis
pute, however, has not reached the
stage of strike threat.
In the TWA walkout, Mr.. Behncke |
Is demanding annual pay up to s14,-
$50 for first pilots and up to $500
for Co pilots on domestic runs. with |
extra pay for international flying. |
Current earnings are about $4,000
