The Foreign Minister said it was
unjust to diSarm this country after
she had been classed as the fourth
military power among the victors;
unjust not to recognize her rights
to reparations from Germany, and
unjust to require her to repay ma
tionals of the United Nations even
for assets taken forcibly by Ger
many. He said there were other
burdenSome clauses, too, which Ro-
mania would fight to have revised.
But he declared that Romania ac-
cepted the treaty, that she had ad-
hered to principles of the U. N.
Charter and that he hoped she
would be admitted to the U. N.
Romanfa's application for men,

ceived only one favorable vote from
the Security Council Thursday and
thus failed of approval. Syria cast
the affirmative ballot and the other

Mr.. Tatarescu reiterated that Ro-
mania's foreign policy was based
on the closest relations with Russia
and good relations as well as with
all the peoples of the world, espe-
cially with Danube basin neighbors

House Prober Calls
Labor Strife Threat
To Movie Industry
BY the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES. Aug 23.-Labor
strife may bring ruin to Hollywood's
film industry, according to Repre-
sentative Kearns, Republican. Of
Pennsylvania, who for a week has
been conducting hearings on the
American Federation of Labor's
lengthy jurisdictional squabble in
volving studio workers.
Mr.. Kearns, chairman of House
subcommittee. concluded the session
yesterday with the declaration:
I'D hate to see some other soun-
try. because of a lack of unity be-
tween management and labor here,
take away this great industry. 1t
seems really pitiful that anything
should be allowed to obstruct its
progress"
Much Ado About Nothing.
The Congress member, after listen
ing to testimony of union leaders
and producer executives for week
regarding jurisdictional disputes
which at times have kept thousands
from working because of quarres
over such matters as which union
should do set construction work,
termed the conflict much ado about
nothing"
He indicated that he would like
to accomplish settlement of the
difficulty and end the hearings.
Earlier the Rev. George H, Dunno,
Jesuit professor of political science
at Loyola Los Angeles University.
testified that his efforts to settle the
film strike, now in its 18th month
with strike leaders estimating that
4,50O are off their jobs, brought an
effort through my ecclesiastical
superiors to force me to stop"
Tells of Farley With Green.
The professor indicated that he
supported the position of Herbert
K. Sorrell, head of the striking Con-
ference of Studio Unions. in his
quarrel with the nonstriking Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees. Father Dunno
told of a conference he had with
William Green. AFL president, re-
garding the strike.
Mr.. Green had been told that
the CSU people were all Commu-
nists and he apparently was re-
luctant to make clear-cut state
ment, taking sides with a group Of
people described as Communists,
Father Dunno said. He said the
film producers had refused to even
talk about" settling the DISPUTE.

Printers Map Details
OF o-Confract Plan
Under New Labor Act
BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 23.-The AFL-
International Typographical Union
began today to work out details of
the no-contract policy adopted by
its 89th convention.
Winding up the sessions at which
the printers decided they would
make no more written contracts with
employers under the Taft-Hartley
Labor Act, President Woodruff RAN
dolph said he had no idea "how long
this storm will last"
In lieu of, the written contracts
which the printers have had with
newspapers and commercial print
shops across the Nation, the ITU
locals will post conditions of en-
ployment" under which they will
work.
Presumably members will remain
away unless some agreement is
reached over those conditions.
To Arise With Each Contract.
The issue will arise as each con-
tract expires. Present contracts will
remain in force in the meantime.
The Printing Industry of America,
representing the commercial shops
and the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, were offered
forms by which contracts could be
extended as they expired, but Mr..
Randolph said, none of them was
accepted.
This Form A." as it was called.
applied only before the Taft Hartley
Act became fully operative yester-
day and guaranteed the union i'm
munity from suits under the act.
Communism Opposed.
The convention last night de-
clared itself opposed to the philoso-
ply of Communism and refused TO
accept as leaders those who associ-
ate themselves with Communism"
After decisively defeating a pro-
posal by minority independents to
bar Communists from holding Office
in the ITU, the printers convention
in one of its final acts indorsed a
lengthy resolution outlining opposi-
tion to Communism.
"It Is the judgment of this con-
vention that those who now eSpouse
communism as a political philosophy
are being led by those who have
absorbed the theories and practices
of foreign. power which are con-
trary to our fundamental concept of
freedom and democracy" the reso-
luton stated.
Therefore, we must tie to those
Communists who may be in this
country and Canada, the acts of
those who have a government func-
tioning under Communist prin-
ciples."

Joint employment of force against

separate procedures in the same

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 23.-Egyp-
tian demonstrations against Britain
reached into the decorous halls of
the United Nations yesterday in
concert with rioting in Cairo.
Demonstrators here twice inter-
rupted the Security Councils de-
liberations on the Egyptian COM
plant against Britain over troop
Withdrawals and the administration
of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Husky U. N. guards forcefully
dragged the two struggling demon
strators from the crowded Council
chamber. 1t was the first time the
Councils deliberations had ever
been disturbed by a spectator out
burst.
Rejects Brazilian Proposal.
The first disturbance occurred
just as Egyptian Premier NokraShy
Pasha took his seat at the Council
table to deliver speech in which
he turned down a Brazilian pro-
posal calling on Britain and Egypt
to make another effort toward
settlement of their differences by
direct negotiations.
A bearded, redfezzed youth
named MuStafa Momen threw the
chamber into confusion by stepping
into the aisle and shouting de-
mands for immediate withdrawal of
British troops from the Nile Valley.
Before the discussion opens" he
shouted, Il declare that the fesump-
ton of negotiations will be forceably
rejected by the people OF the Nile
Valley"
Council President Faris Ell Khoury
of Syria banged his gavel furiously,
but the youth continued. He waved
a paper and shouted: Il have doc
ument here written with blood from,
the youth of Moslem brotherhood"
! The guards then moved in and
dragged him, still shouting, from the
chamber.
Party Leader Causes Outburst.
The second outburst came near
the end of the Egyptian discussion,
as British delegate Sir Alexander
Cadogan was concluding a short
reply to Mr.. Norashy Pasha.
This time it was the president of
the Egyptian Socialist Fellah
farmers Party, Ahmed Kamel
Koto He stood up in the audience
and shouted:
Either liberty, or death of inter-
national peace. Death of the Sc
curity Council. Down with imperial
ism. Long live the Nile Valley.
Long live the King of the Nile VAL
ley"
Guards hustled him outside.

Trouble in Effort for
Peace in Indonesia
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 23.-The
United Nations Security Council,
it's efforts to halt hostilities in
Indonesia branded a failure by
the Netherlands, appeared head
ed for trouble today in it's efforts
to reach a decision on the prob
lem.
DR.. Eelco N. van Kleffens, the
Netherlands representatives, deliv-
cred a virtual ultimatum to the
Council yesterday. demanding that
the Council either send troops" to
Indonesia to police its cease-f1re
order. or keep hands off and let the
Dutch handle the situation.
He said that killing had increased
in Indonesia since the ceaSe-fire
order and implied that further in
tervention would intensity the con-
f1ict.
On the basis Of statements made
by the various delegates at two ses-
sions yesterday it appeared the
Council might find it difficult to
work out an acceptable solution of
the difficulty.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko said he was
unable to accept proposals which
had been submitted by Australia. the
United States and China. These
proposals would call for commissions
either of three members or of the
consuls in Batavia to supervise the
U. N. cease-fire order.
1t was believed that delegates
would attempt to work out some
compromise during the week end
which would be acceptable to Russia.
