Commissioner James O'Byrne OF
1.-THE United States Cancellation Serv-
Ice declared during a recess in
negotiations today that he saw nc
reason for not reaching a settle
ment between dairy operators and
the Milk Drivers and Dairy En-
ployes Union, Local 246.
Meanwhile, with the present con-
tract scheduled to expire at mid
night tonight for some 1,700 union
members, the local called a general
membership meeting at Turner S
Arena for o'clock.
Earlier, management spokesman
said there had been no discussion OF
any strike in talks held this week,
However, he could not say whether
the union would agree to an extern
sion Of the present contract in the
event agreement is not reached.
Union spokesmen were unavail-
able for comment. Since the outset
of negotiations both sides have de-
clined ito discuss any phases of con-
tract demands for some 1,700 mem
bers Of the union.
The union filed 30-day strike
notice with the Labor Department
early last month, according to the
management spokesman.
The United States Cancellation

estimate at that time when the

Another uncertainty, he pointed
out, Is the fate of the proposed one
cent increase in the gasoline tax,
which would raise the departments
revenue.
Will Delay Two Other Projects.
There are two other projects that
must be delayed beside the one at
Dupont Circle, Capt Whitehurst
said. These are the Rock Creek sec
tion of the Fort drive and the rail-
road overpass at Kansas avenue and
the Baltimore 81 Ohio tracks.
Under existing law the Dupont
Circle, railroad overpass and Fort
drive projects may be delayed until
June 80, 1949, without forfeiting
Federal aid, Capt. Whitehurst said.
A bill now is on its way through
Congress to add another year of
grace for Federal-aid road projects.
This would extend the deadline on
these projects to June 80. 1850.

Studies Data on rs
Uncompleted Projects
By Don S. Worren

Inc impact OF rising costs on
school building projects here was
reevaled today to the Horan SUBJ
committee of the House which il
writing the 1948 District suppIy hill
AS 1t grappled with the problem
OF now far the District must and can
go IN the fiscal year beginning july
IN expansion Of the school svs-
tenn, District officials reported q 81,
per cent increase of costs in tha
past three years.
The group had before 1t compara-
i've ngures on 26 school expansion
projects already authorized by Con-
gress and for whcih some funds
nave been appropriated. Some az
THESE have been started, but mona
Is completed. Some still are in the
planning stage, with funds provided
50 lar only for sites or plans.
Costs Increase so Per Cent
When original funds were granted
ior the nscal years 1945, 1916 or 1g47
the report showed, the total cost
OF the projects originally was esti-
mated at $15,746,000 The revised
unit OF costs presented TODAY by
scnool and District officials was
| $23, 1921 900. ""
Toward these projects, the report
showed, Congress SO far has made
appropriations totaling $4,738. 900.
Chairman Koran of the District
appropriations Subcommittee has
TAKEN the position that while MANY
needed construction projects must
oe deferred because of high con-
structoin costs, there are many that
should be started now. Particularly
Is this so, he contends, for new
school buildings necessary to per-
mt an ending of part-time instruc-
tlon due to lack of space.
New Projects to Be Discussed.
The subcommittee today also
planned to discuss what new school
expansion projects are needed in
addition to those already authorized
but not completed.
Seeking an answer to this problem.
Mr.. Horan called for expert testi.
Inony To-Day from group of school
and District government authorities.
including Engineer Commissioner
Gordon r. Young, DR.. Hobart M,
Corning, superintendent of schools,
and DR.. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first
assistant superintendent of schools.
School officials last winter pro.
posed budget totaling SIS, TOO 900.
Largely because of the impending
heavy revenue deficit, the Commis-
lsioners and the Budget Bureau cut
the total to about $19, 500 900. School
fofficials had asked for more than
$8 ,500,0 900 for permanent improve
ments. This was slashed to less
than $2,200,o0o by the Commits
sioners.
The next big item in the budget
total to be tackled by the Horan
Subcommittee will be welfare ex-
penditures. Chairman Horan re-
iterated today there is a big Job
to be done here" as he repeated his
intention to seek economies. II he
can obtain permission, he said, he
will open this section of the hear

June 6.-Haggard with fatigue, 23-
year-old Chalmers H. (Slick) Good
lin had aged visibly here yesterday
when he stepped out of Bell Air
crafts XS-1 after a flight of about
10 minutes at nearly 900 miles
per hour.
Mr.. Goodlin is husky athlete
who looks like a college freshman
and dresses like one, but the nervous
strain and the beating he took dur
ing the, demonstration run when he
turned on only two of his plane S
four rocket tubes was apparent to
all who saw him.
Visiting newsmen here heard Mr..
Goodlin chatting with the pilot of
the BIB Super Fortress which car
ried his little torpedo-shaped rocket
plane aloft for another test dive.
The radio communication was good
and the visibility had cleared.
A B-29 crewman called off the
seconds while the spectators below
craned their necks to watch the
spectacle in the bright blue sky over
the desert. The XS-1 which has
been designed and powered to
reached a top speed of 1000 miles
an hour or more, plummeted down
and curved off into a smooth turn,
trailing an orange jet of flame.
Mr.. Goodlin was pushing the ex-
perimental plane up against the
speed of sound at something
around 600 miles an hour without
opening the throttles Afor burst
representing, UP to now, the point of
no return for the worlds hottest
pilots. This speed is accomplished
in total silence in the cockpit.
Another plane which caught the
eye of spectators was a Consoli-
dated-Vultee XB-46 powered by
four General Electric-Allison jet
engines capable of turning up al
most 500 miles an hour.
The new medium bomber has 9

lined body and thin wings appear
to drive through the air like an ar
row of polished metal.
This is another plane in which
the crew hears no sound. The

Delay Appears Certain
In Underpass Work
AT Dupont Circle

Is. A delay in building the Dupont
Circle underpass appeared certain
today
Representative Bates, Republican,
|of Massachusetts,, chairman of the
Fiscal Subcommittee of the House
District Committee, said yesterday
the $3,800,000 project would have to
be delayed until the fiscal year
1949-50.
District Highway Director H. c.
Whitehurst agreed there would be a
delay but said, as far as he can see,
its duration is uncertain.
The reason, he explained, Is that
the contractors for the South Cap
itol street bridge, the. downstream
span of the twin bridges to replace
Highway Bridge, and the K street
skyWay from Rock Greek to Key
Bridge are telling him that men
and material supplies are now avail
able and that their jobs are going to
be done more quickly than any one
expected.

This means the Highway Depart
ment must be ready to pay them of

Won't Leave Excavations Open.

with us here at REDDY'S business

There are, we believe, several rea-

Department is now by itself. There
is no need for you to wait for us
to finish cooking and serving a
dozen hamburgers, before we can
serve you. Second, supplies are
much easier to obtain. We now
have as complete a line of mer-
chandise as any liquor store in
Phoenix. CWhiskies, good and
bad; 5ths from $1.89 to $10.35.
Third, we now have refrigerator
large enough to keep big supply
of cold Beer, Wine, whiskey and
Gin on hand at all times. Just
come an get it. BY the bottle or
by the case). Fourth, our prices
are right. We are selling as cheap
as any place in Phoenix. One visit
to our store will convince you of
that fact. When can we expect to
see you? We will have to see you
soon and often if we are to con-
tinue to truthfully say Business is
better than it has ever been."
Thank you,

NAM Big Spending

Continued from page IL
1O1 900 copies were used for dis
play in the plants of members, and
the message was inserted in 81
additional small-town newspapers.
This message, of course, attacked
industry-wide bargaining and the
closed shops and was labeled "Con-
trary to the American" way of life. !"
Emotional?
NAM has prepared 10 magazine
articles on REORGANIZATION
has prepared and mailed out a
clip sheet to $500 weekly papers,
speeding it's poison to the very
grass roots of the people. A vast
majority OF these people are in
rural sections and know absolutely
nothing about how. Labor Unions
operate. But they can be taught
to hate Unions and Union MEM
bers, and wire their congressman
and senators to outlaw them.
Emotional?
NAM. sponsored-and paid for
"a "play"-anti-labor \play-and
broadcast it over 113 stations on
one broadcasting company. In ad-
dition to the Shows" NAM. >spon-
sored weekly broadcasts blasting
Unions over 1893 radio stations so
far this year.
To back up. its newspaper and
radio programs, N. A. M. publishes
its own periodicals of which it
sends-all free-to 10000 women's
clubs, another to 10000 preachers,
one to 10000 farmers, and the
masterpiece of all goes to 10000
educators, to help poison the minds
of children-emotional?
Many other methods of combat
ting the workers program for self
preservation is carried on by the
NAM. It's cole object it to destroy
the workers only method of get
ting decent wages and working
conditions, so that the manufactu-
rers can make additional profits.
The very money they ARE now
spending is deducted from their
income tax payments to the gov
ernment and actually costs NAM.
members nothing.
Mr. Oscar Palmer of Phoenix is a
member of MANS executive board,
and his treatment of some local
veterans a few months ago clearly
indicates the type of men in that
organization-and what they will
do to all the workers if they get
a. chance.
The money they spend on propa-
ganda is stolen from the govern
ment. The money the ALL. is
spending in a desperate attempt to
save the workers is paid by the
members themselves Is cents
each.
It would seem that some day
justice will hit a balance!

of women in the country's labor
force has remained stable at about

workers in March, 27.6 percent OF

The difference in large part was
due to unfavorable weather in
