affected both the San Francisco

agreed with the claims of the Water
front Employers Association.

Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union, told Mr.. Miller his
men would comply, although they
felt the order in error"
Mr.. Miller ruled that the fore
mems union. formed within the
structure of the ILWU, is not au-
tonomous. and that the ILWU was
violating its contracts by respecting
Foremen's picket lines.
The foremen walking bosses),
claiming autonomy within the
1LWU, have been on strike since
July against the Luckenbach Steam
ship Co. and the Outer Harbor Dock
and Wharf Co. of Los Angeles. They
have demanded that the employers
recognize the ILWU as their bar
gaining agent, but the employers
contended they are supervisory en-
ployes.
The employers claimed that under
the Hartley law they need not
bargain with supervisory employees.

Objection Withdrawn
To Nevius Hospital
by Arlington Board

The Arlington County Board to-
day withdrew its long-standing OBJ
lection to placement Of Veterans
hospital on the Nevius tract.
On suggestion of Board Member
Daniel A. Dugan. the group decided
to write the Nirglnia delegation in
Congress asking that the delegation
withdraw its objection when owner
ship of the Nevius tract is finally
settled.
The land, located at Lee bou I'd
and Arlington Ridge road, immeu'-
ately north of Arlington Nation

erans' Administration as a site for
hospital. This was done through
condemnatio proceedings and the
price has not been agreed on. al
though the owners have been paid
IS per cent of an amount deposited
with the Federal court by the Gov
ernment.
The VA had plans drawn for a
hospital, but the project was killed
at the last session of Congress at
VAAC AC4uCSt VI 1lCPl CoCitduFc OIIl1Gil.
Mr.. Dugan told the board that the
owners of the tract do not want. it
back and there is a possibility that
the Federal Government might use
the site for an extension of the
cemetery.
Board Chairman Basil M. De
Lashmutt said the reason the own
ers do not want it back is that the
Federal Government will not agree
to let them construct anything they
see fit.
The hospital would be Of benefit
to the county because its staff and
patients would spend money in Arl-
ington, the board agreed 1t also
would be convenient for Arlington

World Weather Group
Takes Step Toward

By the Assoeioted Press

The worlds leading weatherman
moved today to have their Interna-
tional Meteorological Organization
join hands with the United Nations,
Such link possibly would squeeze
Spain out of the 57-Nation weather
forecasters group which is signing
new international agreement to
continue working closely together
to exchange weather information.
The u. N. has fiat ban against
any kind of relationships with the
regime of Generalissimo. Francisco
Franco, the Spanish dictator. Be-
cause of this, if the weather organi-
cation does become affiliated with
the U. NJ, Spain would have to give
up it's membership in the IMO.
Spain has been a member since the
early days of IMO, which began
operations Informally in 1876. Rus
sia also works with the weather
group. Both Russia and the United
States have favored U. N. afflliation
even If the step causes Spain to be
eliminated from IMO.
IMO officials told reporter that
this possibility was in mind when
the group decided to seek a tieup
with the U. NJ But, they added. the
possible dropping of Spain is a
serious step. Weather information
from that nation is needed in con-
nection with aviation operations
across the Atlantic.
The representatives of 81 nations
who have been meeting here since
September % decided to make the
IMO formal organization by draft
ing a pact which they began signing
today. About two-thirds of the 81
nations are expected to sign at once.
