5 W00K Announcers
Walk Out, Charging
'Antiunion' Conduct

Five announcers employed by
Radio Station WOOK, with studios
at 1143 Connecticut avenue NV
and in Silver Spring, Md, were
on strike today against what their
union called Outrageous anti-union
conduct" WOOK continued on the
air, however.
The men are members of the AFL
American Federation of Radio Ar
fists which has been seeking union
recognition from the station. WOOK
is owned by the United Broadcast
ing Co., headed by Richard Eaton.
In a statement issued through its
attorney, Jesse B. Messite. the union
said one employe. an announcer, had
been given notice of his dismissal
in two weeks and another. a disc
jockey, had been told that his time
on the air, and consequently his
pay, were to be cut. The union
thereupon called the strike and
pickets were ordered to walk in
front of the Connecticut avenue stu
dio this morning.
Challenges Union Statement.
Mr.. Eaton declared the unions
statement does not contain one
iota of truth" and was "a gross mis-
representation"
In statement issued after the
strike had been in progress several
hours he said the union had most
unusual conception of collective bar
gaining" and that he was not op-
posed to fair minded unionism." +"
Mr.. Eaton said he had been ap-
preached on the matter Of recog-
milton only this Tuesday. and that
he had promised the union an an
swer on November 5. Instead of
waiting, he said. a picket line was
thrown in front of his studio -
The union statement said the
strike was called IN protest against
the company's unfair labor prac-
tices and it's refusal to negotiate"
with the federation. Mr.. Messite
said the union had decided to take
direct action rather than appeal
to the National Labor Relations
Board because of the "swiftness" OF
the stations actions In the case OF
the two employees. ,
Inquired Into Affiliation.
The statement said that Mr..
Eaton had inquired into the union
Affiliations" of the announcer and,
finding that the employe favored
union representation" served him
with discharge notice The an
nouncer is Frederick w. Hickman
and the disc jockey was identified
as Harold jackson.
The statement added that "the
union alleges that Eaton. to COM
bat union organization, proceeded
to addition other artists to replace
this regular disc jockey in whole
or in part"
Mr.. Eaton, however, labeled as
absurd" the charge that he had
discharged Mr. Jackson.>> The sta
ton is planning to cut down its
time on the air, he said, and hence
it is overstaffed. Mr.. jackson, Mr..

hope that her 40-year-old husband,
son of G. A. Bernard of Northridge,
Calf, had escaped raiders who
attacked his party.
No trace of his body has been
found by searchers and his wife
said it was possible that Mr.. Ber-

Indian Fighter Planes
Thrown Into Battle 10
Halt MosIem Invasion
By the Associoied Press

NEW DELHI. Oct. 30.-Indian
forces have thrown Tempest
fighter planes into battle In an
attempt to stem a three-pronged
invasion from Pakistan menac-
ing Srinagar, capital of Kashmir,
New Delhi sources said today.
The fighter planes are "the only
thing stopping" the invaders, the
informants said.
Military sources estimated 1000
seasoned Indian troops, armed with
nothing heavier than machine guns
and mortars. were opposing the in
vasion by Pathan tribesmen in SUI
perior numbers, armed with howit-
Zers, mountain guns and mortars.
The Dominion of India sent in Sikhs
to reinforce the Kashmir state army
of 10000
The Indians, the informants said,
have been pushed back in the Kash-
mir Valley to a point less than 20
miles from the capital-a l2-mile
retreat since the outbreak of the
hostilities, spanked by the decision
of Kashmir's ruler to accede to In
dia. The princely states population
is predominantly Moslem.
Fifteen Royal Air Force Dakotas
(DC-3s) were expected to complete
evacuation today Of from 200 to $50
British civilians mostly retired
civil servants. vacationists and chill
dren-from KaShmir.
A Bombay dispatch said four air.
lines-Air India, Air Services OF In
dia, Mistri AirWays and Ambica
Airlines - suspended service from
Bombay because all planes were
commandeered by India's govern
ment.
A high military source at Indian
headquarters said 1t was unlikely
that military operations would be
completed in Kashmir for some
months. The raiders we're said to
total at least 5000 men and re-
Inducements still are streaming
across the Pakistan border. The
invaders were reported to be well
armed with modern weapons.
Dispatches from Kashmir said
Baramulla was still in the hands
of the raiders and that the present
front was IS to 20 miles from the
capital of Srinagar.

VETERANS HAVE ONLY
UNTIL FEB. To GET
INSURANCE RENEWED

World War ii veterans have unit
Feb. l., 1947, to reinstate their Ma.
tional Service life insurance without
a physical examination. This APP
plies to converted insurance as well
as term insurance, j. D. Fellows
announced here this week. He is
service officer of the Veterans Wei
fare commission at Billings.
All that is necessary to reinstate
term insurance is the payment of
two premiums, one for the month
of lapse and one for the current
month. To reinstate lapsed convert
ed insurance all back premiums
must be paid with interest.
Veterans are urged to take adj
vantage of this easy reinstatement
plan and keep all of this insurance
they can possibly afford, as it rep
resents the greatest of all benefits
provided for veterans" Fellows said.
''This insurance benefit is a favor
and not a business deal. 1t is avail
only to veterans. No other
benefit affects the veteran so vital
ly as his G. /. insurance. The vet
eran who doesn't reinstate and hang
onto this insurance is failing in his
to himself and his family"
Fellows also urged that veterans
Immediately contact any Veterans
administration office or any service
of the Veterans Welfare
commission for such aid as they
nay need in reinstating their in
iurance. He called attention to the
act that the deadline for reinstate-
nent without physical examination

MONTANA FEEDING
FEWER SHEEP AND
CATTLE FOR SALE
Nation Also Down In Sheep, Up
In Cattle Which Went From
West To Corn Belt States

Montana had 20 per cent fewer
sheep and lambs and 80 per cent
fewer cattle and calves on feed for
market at the beginning of the
present year than in 1916. Only
two states, Oklahoma and Texas,
showed sheep and lamb increases;
all the others declined. Five west
ern states, Texas, Idaho, New Mex
leo, Oregon and California, have
more cattle and calves on feed for
market than a year ago, but the
other western states have fewer.
In the nation as a whole the
number of cattle being prepared
for market is up about 21a per
cent, a slight increase, while sheep
are down 1919 per cent, a notice
able eighth. The sheep figure is
the smallest in the last seven years.
All the decrease from last year was
in feed lot lambs, since the number
of lambs being finished on wheat
pastures in the winter area of the
southern Great Plans states is the
largest on record.
Inc COrn BELT StaJeS are leading
in the cattle feeding and finishing
program, ~offsetting decreases in
other states. That means many
Wyoming and Colorado calves and
went east. Shipments of
stocker and feeder cattle into the
II Corn Belt states was at a record
rate during December, bringing the
total movement during the last half
1916 to the highest for the per-
iod ever recorded, about 20 per
cent over 1915.
Feeders report that cattle will
be fed for a shorter period this
year than last, with the percentage
10 be marketed before May 1 about
IS per cent of the total as against
per cent a year ago. If these
Intentions are carried out the num-
,er of well-finished cattle at Corn
Belt markets during the next few
months will continue relatively
mall.
Eleven Corn Belt states have few
sheep and lambs on feed than
year ago by z per cent and the
mallest number since 1912.
The foregoing information was
cmpiled from a bureau of agricul-
ureal economics issued this week.
