Truman May Seize Phone Industry

WASHINGTON, (P) Attorney general Tom Clark said today President Truman has the right u seize the telephone industry in the current labor dispute.
 Clark told reporters at the White House, after a cabinet meeting, that seizure authority exists under the Federal communications act.
 He said MT. Truman did not ask his opinion, but that secretary of labor SchWellenbaCh did ask him to say whether the government has seizure power.
 President Truman told his news conference yesterday that he had asked the labor department to de termine whether a legal basis ex- ists for taking oyer the industry in the event of a strike of 287 ,000 tel ephone workers Monday.
 The attorney general said the authority will continue until six months after the official "termin- atiOn of war"
 That leaves the date of expira- ton indefinite. Laws expiring six months after termination of hos tilities"-a technically different matter-will go out of existence June 30.
 John J. Moran, chairman of the national federation of telephone workers policy committee, said yesterday the phone unions would "obey" a legal seizure, although he knew of no existing authority for One.
 If they seize, and there's law against striking" Moran told re- porterS, we'll obey the law"

At any rate, they provided the funds in their general appropriation bill for an extra session, and they left much unfinished business behind them in the form, principally, of a deficit, amounting to just about enough money to cover the operat- ing expenses of the Territory for one year.

Have you ever noticed the strange
gyrations and odd mannerisms Of
the average bowler?
First there's. the person who
holds the ball daintily to his nose
and apparently only throws it when
he can no longer stand the oder i.
Next we have the man who thought
fully rests the ball on the softness
of his inflated tummy Then
we have the type who bends over
as if he we're playing leap frog,
and he presents a posterior so con-
veniently placed that every onlooker
has the urge to accept the invitationl
Also, have you seen the one
who reminds you of horse getting
set in the gate before the starting
gun, or a chicken scratching in the
straw? You've seen the kind
who delivers the ball, watching its
slow progress down the alley.
meanwhile backing away from the
foul line as if he had just seen
a horrible scene or someone were
coming towards him with a knife
Next we have the body english"
type, who, while the ball is speed
ing towards the pins, goes through
more contortions than any circus
freak or a jitterbug We must
not forget the one known as the
bowler in the next alley" who
socially trots up to the foul line
with you-booms-a-daisy . Then
there are the jerks who are al
ways trying to find charm ball
and are continually walking up in
front of you inspecting each and
every ball, the walks back to their
own allay and use the same one
they have been using. Last but not
least are those who settle back
on their heels and then move ahead
like an airplane about to take off, /
the left arm wavig in the breeze
like a propeller threatening to de- !
capitate the bowler on the adjoin- |
ing alley (shade of we gremlin).
Any similarity to any person a
live or dead is purely coincidental.
