The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON.President Tru- man has selected another Wall Street banker and military man to be the new Assistant Secretary of State in charge of rebuilding Ger many. He is Gen. Charles Saltzman, president and secretary of the New York Stock Exchange.
 Because the new Undersecretary of State, Robert Lovett, is also a Wall Street banker (Brown Broth ers- Hartmann and because of the various other Wall Streeters in the Truman Administration, the ap- pointment has been received with some criticism inside the Aminis- tration.
 General Marshall, however, has had a tendency to lean toward mil .itary men General Saltzman, a West Point graduate, resigned from the Army in 1880, reentered in 1940, and rose rapidly to the rank of brigadier general. His father, Maj. Gen. Charles Saltzman, spent his life in the Army, later being ap- pointed by Roosevelt to the old shipping board where he had an ex- cellent record. His son, the newly selected Assistant Secretary of State, has been on leave from the New York Stock Exchange since he entered the Army.
 Criticism of Wall Street appoint ments to the State Department is aased not on anything against the

200 VESSELS LEAVE PORT
 UNDER PLAN
Wage Boosts Expected to Be Made Following
 East Settlement

SAN FRANCISCO. June 20.-R-- Ships sailed from West Coast ports today under an employer-union truce while the two unions without contracts and some which had re- newed theirs for a year set their sights on a five per cent wage in- crease won in the East.
 AS a Labor Department trouble shooter renewed the negotiations with two CIO unions, it became evil dent that the Eastern settlement would have growing effects on the West Coast.
 Vincent Malone, whose independ- ent Marine Bremen recently signed an extension of contract for year without wage changes, said trouble might be expected among his men unless they received the same in- crease as other unions.
 Representatives of the CIO Ma rine Beneficial Association, which had sought six per cent wage hike then settled for years extension minus wage changes, also indicated they planned to demand the five per cent increase.
 The two CIO unions still with out contracts, the marine cooks and the radio operators, are expected to seek the same advances.
 The cooks had refused to sign sailing articles, thus slowly paralyz- ing shipping but yesterdays truce meant release for 200 ships.
 Cooks unions up and down the coast quickly ratified the truce at meetings. The radio operators nego- tiations committee had power to ratify it and did.
 Among features of the interim agreement were.
 Work will continue under the old contract, except that the provision for a new wage review this month for the cooks will be suspended pending negotiations.
 Any stewards shipping out before final agreement is reached will re- ceive benefits of any new contract.
 Negotiations will continue until they result in agreement said Nathan P Feinsinger of the Labor Department.

Patients With
tuberculosis
Given Advice

Patients who leave tuberculosis
Sanateria against medical adj
vice were named today by Joe
Allen, president of the Monroe
County tuberculosis and Health
Association, as one of the great
problems in tuberculosis control.
Allen said that he is hoping
the results of a study into the
problem of "AWOL" patients
now being conducted by the
New York tuberculosis and
Health Association will aid the
Monroe County tuberculosis and
Health Association. The New
York study was undertaken when
it was found that 20 per cent of
tuberculosis patients in 40 insti-
tutions in that area were leaving
against medical advice.
Monroe County is worse than
most areas in this respect" he
continued. Last year we had
seven new cases committed to
sanatoria. Twenty-six cases were
arrested and nine left against
medical advice"
A patient who leaves sana-
torium against medical advice is
not only taking a terrible, un-
necessary chance" with his own
life, but is endangering the
health of all those with whom he
comes into contact, according to
Allen.

AUSTRALIA PLAYS
US. FOR DAVIS CUP
THIS AFTERNO
Kramer Plays Bromwich;
Schroeder Meets Pals In
Opening Matches AT For

tsnec,nl to The Citizen,

FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. 80.
More than 10000 tennis fans
jammed Forest Hills stadium
early this afternoon to watch the
United States defend the d a v S
Cup against Australia for the
first time in eight years.
Jack Kramer, No. U. S. play
er, was slated to play the open
ing match against Dinny Pals,
No. 2 Australian. Pals was con-
coded virtually no chance against
the California wizard but ] C k
Bromwich, No. l Australian,
rated slight choice to beat Ted
Schroeder, No. 2 American en-
try.
The draw suited the Austral-
ians perfectly, since .other pair
ings might have left them trail
ing, OF, after the first days play.
In Sundays doubles match the
Australians are conceded an out
side chance of upsetting Kramer
and Schroeder. The newcomer,
Colin Long, husky, bespectacled
slugger, has looked impressive
when paired with Bromwich. In
fact, Long and Bromwich actual
ly beat the Americans last win
ter in four sets in the doubles
final of the Victorian tourna-
ment at Melbourne.
Kramer and Schroeder, how
ever, defeated Bromwich and
Adrian Quist in the Davis Cup
doubles without a great deal of
trouble.
The Australians are banking
on victory by Bromwich over
Schroeder today, squeezing
through in the doubles and then
an upset by Bromwich over
Kramer or Pals over Schroeder
on Monday. The Aussies will
find plenty of takers if any of
them want to bet that way; in
fact, many Americans will bet the
U. S. sweeps all five matches.
