John C. Luber, Democrat, of the
5th Baltimore District, leader in
the fight for the bill. warned that
rejection of the report would cause
many classrooms to be closed for
lack of teachers.
He said a person having an in

fore making q move in the tele-
phone dispute"
The department spokesman here
said Government officials are closely
following the controversy in Wash
ington and elsewhere. He made no
comment on reports from NFTW
headquarters that telephone unions
in all parts of the country are
voting by majorities of more than
IS to one in favor of going on strike
If called out.
Company Gets No Word.
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. officials in Washington also re-
fused to comment on the possibility
of walkout. They said, however,
that they received no word yester-
day from union sources or Govern
ment conciliators.
It was understood authoritatively
that the company sees no reason at
this time for substantial changes IN
the general level of its wage rates.
1t repeatedly has taken the position
that the wages it pays compare
favorably with wages paid by other
concerns for work requiring corre-
spending skill and training.
The company is understood to
have offered to extend for three or
six months, or perhaps longer, the
present contract providing for pro-
gressive wage increases at periodic
intervals. The two unions here, as
we'll as those in Maryland and Vir-
ginia and other parts of the country,
have rejected this offer.
The unions here, representative
explained yesterday, have not re-
vised their demands for a $12-
weekly increase, union shop. dues
checkoff. longer vacations and other
benefits. The company, it was said
has informed the union representa-
tives that 1T believes present pro-
visions for vacations, pensions and
general working conditions are up
to the standard of those given by
other comparable companies.
In a separate legal action yester-
day, the Virginia Federation of
Telephone Workers was preparing
to file 30-day strike notice with
Federal authorities. A Federation
official said in Richmond that, in
accordance with the new Virginia
public utilities Tabor relations act,
the union and company have noti-
fed Governor Tuck that they are
mot in agreement"
A second conference must be held
within 10 days and Gov. Tuck may
attend.

Soviet Veto Expected
Il France Swings u. n.
Decision on Albania
BY the AsSociosed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar. 22.-
The first Russian veto in six months
is in prospect in the United Ma
tions Security Council
France held the key to the latest
test between the East and the West,
and her vote for or against Russia
was viewed as the determining fac
tor in whether Andrei A. Gromyko
would invoke the Soviet veto for
the 10th time.
If France joined with the West,
Mr.. Gromyko was not expected to
hesitate to kill resolution finding
that Albania had knowledge" Of
the laying of fatal minefield in
the Corfu Channel off her coast
last October %. Two British de-
stroyers were damaged there with
loss of A lives. and Great Britain
seeks verdict of guilty against the
Soviet-sponsored Tirana govern
ment. Mr.. Gromyko said there was
no basis for the charges and that
they should be thrown out.
Showdown Vote Tuesday.
To make it more significant, the
showdown vote will come next Tues
day, the first anniversary of Council
deliberations on American soil.
The veto situation developed as
the whole U. N. organization, un-
doubtedly affected somewhat by the
United States unilateral proposal
on Greece and Turkey, anxiously
watched Congress and the Foreign
Ministers in Moscow for trends.
There was a feeling here that
American Delegate Warren r. Aus
tin would return from his Washing
ton conference with some kind OF a
report to Secretary-General Trygve
Lie.
Lie Declines Comment.
Mr.. Lie still declined to comment
but in the absence of interim de-
velopments may touch on the sub
iect next Wednesday when he de.
livers speech opening the To-
nation trusteeship council.
In connection with the start Of
that council, the last major q. N.
agency to get under way, there was
some concern here over Russias
failure to name a delegate. The So
Wet Union refused to support parts
of the trusteeship program all the
way through last falls general as
sembly, and Mr.. Gromyko turned
aside queries as to Russian dele
gate with a terse mo comment"

 ROUNDUP
tBY Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)

NEW YORK, (P)-Although the Yankees are lopsided favorites to win the world series, Branch Hickey insists this is one Brooklyn team that isn't beaten before it starts. Branch talks about quiet confidence" and at the same time Leo Durocher. In his intimate circle, hints that Billy Herman's trouble at Pittsburgh was that he thought he could manage a ball club and still be nice guy. That's what you would call opposite viewpoints. |. Now that Joe Cronin has moved up to the Red Sox front office and Joe Cretired Mccarthy has signed as manager, American leaguers are looking toward Cleveland for the next big change. one tipster reports: 'If Lou Boudreau moves it won't be up to the front office" . And, incidentally, whatever oceanic of the Boudreau-Dyer shift as a means of stopping Ted Williams?
 Joe Mccarthy, already listed as the only major league manager ever to win championships in both leagues, might conceivably be- come the second to win pennants with three different clubs. .. Bill did it with Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati. Me- Carthy takes over the remains of the l946 champions, who have picked up some achievements and might win again with added strength in few more spots.
