Rome Group 10 Char
Antarctic Earthquakes
By Comdr. Finn Rome

ABOARD PORT OF BEAUMONT,
Mar. II fNANA).-We are now on
the last lap of our long voyage to
the Antarctic, and as we near the
white regions where We will spend
the coming year in scientific re-
search. the scientists on board are
hard at work completing their prep
arations.
Andrew A. Thompson is hoping
for good results in registering earth
quakes in these regions of the
world. No seismology data ever has
been reported by a station located
in the Antarctic.
This is important. Mr.. Thompson
pointed out, since progress in the
science of earthquakes depends
largely on co-ordinating the reports
of seismological stations in every
part of the globe
Mr.. Thompson added that earth
quakes occur mainly in places where
the earth's crust is believed weakest
that is, in the earth's mountain
Gus areas. Great movements in the
earth's crust force mountains
through.
These folded and faulted areas are
young in geological time and great
movements still are under way there
The Pacific Ocean Is completely
surrounded by mountain belt
which is also an earthquake belt
The only part of this belt In which
earthquake records have not been
kept is the section between Chile
and New Zealand-that Is, the South
Pacific and Antarctica.

Bishop Oman Denounces
Bills on ParochiaI Schools
BY the Assoeioted Press

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Mar. Ii
The Right Rev. G. Bromley Oman
Methodist Bishop of New York, says
that Protestants are "unalterably
opposed to the Roman Catholic in
sistence upon public support OF
parochial education" 1885,.
The former president of the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ
in America made the statement
last night in an address sponsored
by the Springfield Council OF
Churches.
The bishop apparently referred
to measures now before Congress
which would If approved expand
public support to include parochial
schools.
He said that Protestants were
opposed to church control of pub
lie education no matter what the
church; they believe that control
should rest In the people, not in a
hierarchy"
What the Roman Catholic
Church seeks is the complete con-
troll of the mind of youth" he added
"It demands not alone the right
to education of Roman Catholic
children in parochial schools nu,
also that the public shall pay the
bill"

Action
On Foreign Relief
Favored by Hoover
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The question OF whether Con-
gress wants a long or short
range foreign relief program was
raised today by a report from
Herbert Hoover urging that
$155, ,0OO,0 900 be spent in Austria
during the next Is months.
The former President said relief
in Austria must continue at least
until July l, 1948, and added: Il
have felt 1t better to face the fact
now" rather than propose renewed
appropriation later"
Reduction of the Russian armies
in Austria to the minor levels of
the other powers" would moderate
the load on the Austrian food sup
ply, Mr.. Hoover asserted He said
the Russians have not only requisi-
toned a large amount of fertile
land, but great number of indus
trial plants"
Would Cut Food Imports.
IF the produce from these lands
were released to Austria" Mr..
Hoover said, together with relaxa-
ton of other acquisitions, 1t would
decrease the food imports by at
least 10000 tons month"
Mr.. Hoover estimated that by 1850
or 1851, Austria probably could be-
come self-supporting If It's lands and
equipment are freed by a peace
treaty and foreign troops are re-
moved.
Mr.. Hoover placed greatest blame
for the lack of unity in Allied ad-
ministration of Austria on the Rus
slams who, he said, under Their
Interpretation Of the Potsdam Dec
laration have requisitioned large
areas of fertile land and a great
number of industrial plants. !.
The Potsdam Agreement provided
that the four -. occupying nations
seize as German reparations any
German assets In their respective
zones.
But the Austrians claim, Mr.,
Hoover said, that many of the Rus
sian seizures were not actually Ger
man assets.
Representative Bloom, Democrat,
of New York, top Democrat Of the
House Foreign Relations Committee,
told reporter he believes the group
will prefer to take q new look at
foreign relief later land make a
supplemental appropriation then if
necessary"
Mr.. Hoover explained in his re-
port to President Truman that his
proposal would provide Austria with
less aid than a United Nations
program contemplates but said he
has in mind world supplies and
the drains upon Che American tax
payer
The U. N. estimates provide more
food than Mr.. Hoover's, he said,
and include some help for industrial
reconstruction. The U. N. proposal
would involve spending s148 8,000, 900
in Austria for the rest of l947 and,
if extended for Is months, would
cost $248, ,000,0 900 of 500, ,0O0, 900 more
than Mr.. Hoover recommended.
The U. N. outlay would come from
a fund of $4,000, 900, of which the
United States has been asked to
contribute $3.50, 100000.
The report was the second from
Mr.. Hoover summarizing food sur
veys he made for President Truman
in Germany and Austria.

Crop Experts Optimistic
Over At Season Prospects

Crop experts in the Agriculture
Department are optimistic over
prospects for the 1947 producing
season.
They reported yesterday that pros
poets are frightened by generally
satisfactory soil moisture conditions,
good developments of the winter
wheat crop and by the progress
made last fall In preparing this
years crop.
The department said in a pre-
planting season report that cold
weather during February had the
favorable effect of slowing the
growth of fall-sown grains and OF
preventing premature development
Of fruit buds. On the debit side. the
cold reduced Florida's citrus crop by
11,500.000 boxes and caused consid-
cradle damage to winter truck crops
there.
The only States reported to be un-
duly short of soil moisture are Ari-
zona and New Mexico.
The winter wheat crop. which
last fall looked as if 1t would be the
largest on record. is reported to
have wintered well In most areas.
1t is now greening up in the South
ern Great Plains area.

Loses Contempt Fight
In Bargaining Case
By the Associated Pres,

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 1.-the
Times-Mirror Co., publisher Of the
Los Angeles Times, and Publisher
Norman Chandler were found In
contempt yesterday by the Ninth
United States Circuit Court Of Ape
peals for failure to obey an order
Of the National Labor Relations
Board In bargaining with the CIo
newsboys' union.
The court gave the defendants
seven days in which to comply with
specific directions by the court under
penalty Of arrest and falling.
In addition to Mr.. Chandler, those
named in the contempt finding were
r. F. Marx, Times circulation man.
ager; Jerry Cohen. superintendent
of street sales and A. .Kurze. city
circulation manager.
NLRB Order Recalled.
The NLRB had ordered the COM
pany to bargain collectively and ex-
clusively with the Los Angeles
Newsboys Industrial Union. Local
rs. The order was confirmed by the
Ninth Circuit Appellate Court in
June, 1914.
In directing the defendants and
defendant company to purge them
selves Of contempt by fully comply
ing" with the NLRB order, the court
ordered among other directives that
they bargain collectively and In good
faith with the newsboys' union.
In Los Angeles, Mr.. Chandler
issued this statement:
Until a copy Of the courts order
is available for careful analysis, our
statement is necessarily limited to
the declaration that we intend to
comply with the spirit and letter Of
the courts decree. We thought We
had been complying, and the press
dispatches appear to indicate that
several of what we thought were the
most serious charges made by the
National Labor Relations Board
have not been accepted by the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals"
Efforts Are Cited.
"The direction that We bargain
in good faith is nothing more than
We have always tried to do. The
direction that within seven days We
offer to reduce to writing existing
conditions covering pay, wages and
working hours is what we have
always stood ready to do II re-
quested.
1--WE have always recognized, since
an election among the newsboys.
that the newsboy's union was the
exclusive bargaining representative.
In fact we refused to negotiate
with another union who attempted
to participate in the bargaining
negotiations. 1t may well be that
the order when analyzed will in
dicate definitely which of the very
many charges made by the board
have been considered by the court
to have merit"

Both Sides 'Waitnq'
After Phone Contract
Negotiations Collapse

Opposing sides apparently had
adopted "watchful waiting" policy
today after the collapse late yester-
day Of negotiations between the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. and about 5000 union workers
in the Metropolitan Area who have
filed notices Of intent to strike
in April.
Spokesmen for the company and
the two unions involved insisted they
were willing to resume discussions
of the many issues involved.
However, nothing apparently was
being done to reopen conversations
Each side waited for the other tc
make the first move, and neither
gave indications of any immediate
intention to do that.
Further, all the spokesmen ex-
pressed uncertainty as to what
method might be used to resume
talks unless one Or the .other makes
concessions.
5000 Members Claimed.
I unions involved in the cofltr oversy
are the Washington Telephone
Traffic Union and the District Fed
Grafton Of Telephone Workers. Each
claims a membership Of more than
5000 and both are affiliates of the
National Federation of Telephone
Workers.
Separate negotiations between
company representatives and
spokesmen for each Of the two
unions had been in progress several
weeks when both collapsed within
a few minutes of each other late
yesterday.
Spokesman for workers and the
company agreed that the converse
tions snagged on the issue of wages,
in which union employees are de-
manding across-the-b board increase
of $12 week.
Wage Increase Is Issue.
Spokesmen for the unions charged
the company with refusing to offer
any wage concessions.
j. B. Morrison, vice president and
general manager of the company,
said it had made several efforts to
renew, at least temporarily, present
contracts which provide for pro-
gressive wage increases at periodic
intervals"
Mrs. Mary Cannon, president OF
the Telephone Traffic Union, and
Helery Robinson, head of the Fed
Grafton Of Telephone Workers, said
further negotiations would be point
less unless the company adopts a
more realistic" attitude toward the
wage issue.
Mr.. Robinson charged that COM
pany proposals embody wage rates
and working conditions less favor
able than those now in effect"
Prepared to Renew Talks.
He added his union is ready to
resume conferences when the COM
pany indicates its willingness to
bargain fairly"
Both unions filed strike notices
February % with the. Secretary of
Labor and the National Labor Rela-
tiors Board, both to be effective on
or about April 7.
In addition, Mrs. Cannon said,
the unions planned to notify Gov.
Tuck of Virginia OF the breakdown
of negotiations, in compliance with
a Virginia State law. She explained
Evening star., 1947-03-11

that several hundred union men,
bers, although serving the metro
politan area, are employed in ex-
changes in nearby Virginia. Such
notices, she added, are designed to
give the Governor an opportunity
to intervene In an attempt to avert
a threatened strike.
The negotiations here were de-
scribed as similar to those now
taking place throughout the coun-
try by affiliates Of the national fed
Grafton and the companies by which
they are employed. The national
organization also has filed an April
7 strike notice and has named a
Policy Committee which is author
lied 10 intervene when negotiations
break down between affiliates and
employing companies.
The Policy Committees next
meeting, national officials an
nounced. Is scheduled for March q
in Washington to transact whatever
business is pending, including the
completion of preparations for an
April 7 strike unless issues are set
tied by then.
Reject New Federation.
Meanwhile, three organizations
now affiliated with the national fed
reation announced they have voted
against joining the Comunica tons
Workers of America, a successor to
the present national. of which Jo-
seph A. Beirne of Washington Is
president
Officials of the national explained
the decision to form the successor
communications union as a more
closely knit organization for workers
was approved last November.
Mr.. Beirne said about 40 per cent
of the present 49 affiliates of the ma
tional, including those in Washing
ton, have voted to join the COM
munications' workers.
The only reflections, he added,
were those reported today by the
Pennsylvania Federation of Tele-
phone Workers, with about 5000
members: and the Maryland Tele-
phone Traffic Union and the Mary
land Federation of Telephone Work
ers. each with about 5000.
Several affiliates have not COM
pleted polls of members on the prop
osition, national officers said.
