Commissioner Richard w. Good.
rick of the United States Concilia-

month and proposed that both sides
conf1dentially hand him a fresh ap-

10 DonnelI Restaurants
Dispute Union Claims
lon Extent Of Strike

Conflicting statements were issued
by management and union today on
the effectiveness of a strike at
oDonnell's restaurants in the 1906
block of E street NV.
Called shortly after pm. yester-
day by the United Cafeteria Wcrk-
ers, Local All tCIO), the walkout
climaxed several months of negotia-
tions over a contract.
Richard Bancroft, union president
claimed today that 100 workers were
off the job. On the management
side, Joseph F. Castiello, general
counsel for the firm. said not more
than rs regular employees had joined
the demonstration.
The two eating places, known as
ODonnell's Restaurant, 1909 E street
NV, and O'Donnell's Sea Grill
1921 E street N.W.s continued to
operate and the management re-
futed union claim that the strike
had decreased business by 80 per
cent.
Picket Figures Disputed.
Mr.. Bancroft said the union ex-
pected to send 100 pickets into ac-
ton during rush hours. Mr.. Cas-
tiello insisted that not more than
of 30 pickets parading last night
were employees of the restaurants.
The union won the right to repre-
sent O'Donnell employees at a Ma
tional Labor Relations Board eiec-
ton last September. During nego-
tiations, opening in November, most
points of the contract were agreed
on, but when negotiations broke off
February "a, the prime questions of
wages and union security were un-
decided.
The union was asking 60 cents
an hour for such employees as kitch-
en- workers and bus boys, and the
management had offered 48 cents.
The union originally demanded a

It is deplorable that Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug who made such favorable impression upon the many Alaskans he met during his l946 visit. should have written for presentation the Territorial Legislature his letter of January 24 regarding the question of fish traps
 We believe most Alaskans will join in taking issue with that section of the letter which, had it been presented before the fish trap referendum was passed would have exered the pressure Of the Federal government in literally forcing the Legislature to act or else
 MT Krug was generous and fair in admitting that the problem is mainly local or Alaskan problem and in reaching the conclusion that the question of dealing with the problem should be in the hands of the Territorial Legislature and not Congress any Fed eral instlumentality But he concludes by stating
 T should add that consider early solution of this vexing problem so important that, if the Territorial Legislature should take action at this session this Department will consider support of Federal measure designed to regulate trap-fishing We shall therefore watch with considerable interest the steps taken by the Legislature.
 If this is a matter to be decided by our Legisla- ture then it seems out of place for the Department of the Interior attempt in any way to influence the members of the Legislature. It is further confusing to that the Secretary says in paragraph that this is Territorial function, and on the other hand, that it becomes Federal function unless the Legisla ture responds to the spurs.
 We note that while the letter was dated January 24 it was not made public until February l5 How many members of the Legislature of its contents before Saturday is matter of thought. Why it was solicited ill the first place also subject of conjecture Did the members of the Legislature solicit the opinion? Or did it just happen along at con- venent time?

Two-Year Colleges
(NeW York Tinles)

In his annual report to the Board of OVerseers President Ccnant of Harvard offers an interesting proposal He suggests that the local communities with the aid of Federal funds where necessary, estab fish two-year terminal colleges for their students. Under this plan thousands of men and women, now unable to get the traditional fOur-year college could receive higher education Colleges crowded beyond capacity today Unless there is substantial expansion in our educational facilities many worth while high-schoo graduates will find that they cannot continue with their formal schooling The peacetme high of 1,5O0O00 students has now reached 100000 the demand for admittance by veterans and non veterans alike is unprecedented.
 Dr Conants proposal has the virtue of being timely and that should not be too difficult to put into practice In effect the Harvard president suggests that junior colleges be established throughout the country wherever they may be needed This proposal extend higher education two years beyond the present hgh-school level is not of entirely new But Dr Conant presents specific program that is extremely important at this time Many students would undoubtedly be satisfied go to college for two years Tn fact the terminal program would serve them better than four years of education As Dr. Conant observes. for many students terminal two year education beyond high school provided locally is better adapted their needs than the offered by the traditional four year institution.
 Here is plan to improve the presen: overcrowded conditions and the youth of the country that is worth considering It deserves the thoughtful aten- tion of all who interested in developing a sound postwar educational program to meet the needs of college minded young and women.

Ending Mediation in China
CNew York Sum


 Acting obviously the personal reports with which General Marshall must have supplemented his statement of January when he leaving China become Secretary of State, the United States has abandoned the attempt to mediate between the Chinese government and the Communists. It has withdrawn its representatives from the Committee of Three and the so-caed truce teams and will bring home the Marines which had remained to co-oDerate with them ! As General Marshall indicated in his statement the American position has become next to impossible. Our representatives being snDed at from both sdes-a position which only contributed nothing toward solving Chinas difficulties but which tended to undermine American prestige throughout the Orient
 Extremists on both sides who blamed by General Marshall for blocking truce likely to be delighted by the move They have been 1gltatng for some time for just that action. It is probable too, that the news will not be unWelcome in Moscow IL would be received enthusiastically here II r. had been accompanied by some indication of what the next move is to be If it means void into which Russia is to it is bound to cause concern to great many Americans If, the other hand, 1t IS q prelude to some understanding with the Soyets so that the East and West work together in good faith partners not rivals it will be most welcome Possibly General Marshall hopeful of reaching some such understanding the course of his approaching trip to Moscow wanted the troops withdrawn so that the slate would be clean for fresh taclling of the Chinese problem But until the future course is more clearly defined satisfaction at ending program that was getting nowhere will be tinged by concern over where go from here.

motion picture industry called on President Truman last week, the latter quizZed him on what for eigners think of American movies. Johnston replied that shortly be- fore the war Mussolini and Hitler were so perturbed over Hollywood's pro-Democratic influence that they clamped down on American movies even before American newspapers and magazines were barred.
 Johnston also told Truman that thousands of foreign moviegoers write to Hollywood for information about new American inventions, such as bathroom fixtures and other gadgets which they see in American films. Thus the movies have become one of Americas in direct but potent sales forces
 In facetious vein, Johnston told the President that directing the destiny of Hollywood is like run ming a twenty-ring circus. P. T. Barnum and his three rings were a piker in comparison with the job of policing screen morals and try ing to get American pictures past the iron curtain into Tito's Jugo- slavia
