THE dispute is not our concern,
and we will let the company handle
it in any way it sees fit," George D.
Riley, the Senate committees staff
director, said today. Its their prob
lem and they should solve it."
Meanwhile, both sides remained
deadlocked on the issue. The union,
which is affiliated with the CIO

refuses to sign the affidavit, assert
ing that it has no relation to the
contract negotiations.
If the stalemate continues for any
length of time, it's more than likely

and try to get the parties together
The old contract expires December

sary, it will go out on strike, just as
it did last year.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3.-A 20-year- old
newcomer amazed the critics today
by winning an exhibitors place in
the annual Missouri art show over
many experienced artists with the
most expensive painting valued by
himself at s2,7oo because it is per-

The painting, Roman Boy" is by
Ernest Trova, and is what the critics
call an improvisation, developed
through the artists moods as he
works. 1t is done in oils, water col
ors, lacquers and tar.
Except for Mr.. Trova's, exhibitors
prices range from $3.50 to $1,000.
THE other paintings also are

Red Submarine Fleet Estimated
AT 4 Times Nuzis' Strength

Secretary declared, lin effect, we
have been reduced to one-shot
Navy"
"If war were to come" he said,
I'VE would be able to fight our car
rier groups until they were below
operating strength. Then we would
have to withdraw-not to replace
them, but to wait for new planes to
be built and new groups to be
trained.
Second Air Group Needed.
"It Is idle to pretend that any
carrier for which there is no spare
air group can for long be an effec-
tive instrument OF war. Common
prudence would seem to dictate the
immediate provision of a second air
group for each of our large carriers,
of which we are now operating II
but should be operating H.
"Of course, all the carriers we
have laid up will be impotent until
planes are built to go on them. Too,
carrier aviators cannot be trained
as quickly as other types Of flyers" "
The Secretary estimated that, to
meet current requirements, the Navy
should have 5000 combat aircraft
in the fleet, 1900 operating in sup
port of the fleet and 1900 for train
ing, plus 1000 for training reserves
and $500 for spares, overhaul and
limited storage.
Studies of the tasks the Navy
would be called on to perform in
event of war, he said, show security
some five years hence would re-
quire, with Navy of 100000 men,
the following aviation components :
Combat aircraft in the feet, $500;
fleet support aircraft 2,700; train
ing, 1000; operating in the Reserve,
2,700, and spares, $500.
Admits Estimates Cut.
Under questioning, the Secretary
admitted these estimates were cut
to fit the overall budgetary picture
rather than the actual security
needs of the United States in view
of the troubled world situation.
At the same session, Secretary OF
the Army Royal pointed out the pro-
curement of some 10 strategic ma
terials for national stockpiles in
event of war is far behind the
schedule deemed essential by the
joint chiefs of staff. He said the
reason for this was lack of funds
and opposition from persons who
wished to divert the materials to
civilian production or to influence
prices.
David L. Behnicke, president of
the Air Line Pilots Association, re-
newed his appeal made often before
congressional committees for an in
dependent air safety board to re-
place the present bureau function
ing under the Civil Aeronautics
Board.

300 Cairo Students
Stone Photographers
'At American Embassy
By the Associated Press

CAIRO, Dec. 3.-A crowd of ap-
proximately 300 students assembled
in front of the United States En-
bassy today, shouting Down with
America" and throwing stones at
American photographers who tried
to take pictures from the roof of
the building.
The students forced their way
through reinforced police lines to
reach the street before the British
and American Embassies. After
shouting Down with England be-
fore the British Embassy they
screamed denunciations of America.
The demonstration appeared to be
double-barreled protest aimed
both at American support of Pales-
tine partition and the presence OF
British troops in the Suez Canal
Zone. Nc damage or casualties
were reported.
Demonstrate tions Continue.
Earlier calls for revolution" and
for evacuation Of British troops
from the zuez Canal Zone mingled
with protests against the United
States and Russia as Egyptian dem
onstrations against the United Ma
tions decision to partition Palestine
continued for the third day. Police
shunted the demonstrators into side
streets without violence. The crowd
reformed and headed for the home
of the Wafdist Party's leader.
The largest group wound up be-
fore the headquarters Of the Arab
League, crying for weapons and
promising to save Palestine with
our blood
Abdel Rahman Azzam Pasha, sec
retary general of the League, told
the crowd weapons would be given
to Arab fighters as soon as they
were trained.
I'VE are determined by the will
of Allah, and your will, to start a
terrible struggle against the impe-
rialists who entered our land against
our will and who want to drive your
brothers from Palestine"
Teachers of centuries-old Alazhar
University in Cairo undertook yes
terday to organize enlistments and
financing for a Jihad (Holy War;
for the announced purpose of "driv-
ing the wolves" away from Pales-
tine.
In proclamation protesting
against "the wrong and unjust
U. N. decision on Palestine" they
quoted from the Koran to the effect
that 'he who is killed fighting for
God shall be rewarded"
1t concluded with an appeal to
Moslems not to attack Jews who
are under the protection of Arabs
and enjoy citizens rights" but to
direct your anger toward in

Chicago Termed Showdown
On No Contract Policy
BY the Assoeiofed Press


Both sides today termed Chicago
the key city in a showdown between
newspaper publishers and printers
over the no contract policy Of the
AFL international Typographical
Union.
Woodruff Randolph, ITU presi-
dent, said the printers walkout
against the Chicago newspapers is
costing his union $4,000 week in
strike benefits and that the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton apparently had chosen the
Illinois city for the crucial battle.
In New York, Ebert Antrim, busi-
ness manager of the Chicago Tri-
bune and president of the Chicago
Newspaper Publishers Association,
commented that IF he wants to
regard it as a showdowkn we're
perfectly agreeable"
Papers Being Published.
Mr.. Antrim told reporters, how
ever, that the ANPA had nothing
to do with the Chicago situation.
In the absence of the printers, the
Chicago newspapers are publishing
by d photo-engraving process.
Mr.. Randolph said in an interview
last night $50 of the $50 member
locals of the ITU have come to terms
with employers in other cities despite
the union no-contract policy adopted
to get around the Taft Hartley Act S
prohibition against the closed shop.
The ITU proposes instead to post
conditions of employment" in the
printing shops setting forth, among
other things, that its members will
not work with non-union printers.
Mr.. Randolph said, however, that
two locals have signed contracts,
that 100 have agreed with employers
on wage raises of So to SIS week
without contracts, and that 18 locals
have reached agreements on con-
tracts which can be reopened for
discussion of wages.
Offered Agreement.
He said the ITU offered the Chi
cago publishers a signed agreement
of indeterminate length, containing
a 60-day nitice of cancellation
clause.
MI. Antrim said Mr. Randolph ap-
parently was trying to make it ap-
pear that wages was the issue in
Chicago.
The contract is the only issue" !"
Mr.. Antrim said. I'VE wouldn't talk
wages until we knew we would have
a contract. The ITU is trying to
evade and avoid the Taft-Hartley
law, and we want no part Of it.
He said the union offered to sign
a form of contract" which placed
all liability for any violation OF the
law on the publishers.
This FORM" Mr.. Antrim said,
would have made the publishers re-
sponsible for complaints of refusal
to hire nonunion men and for vio-
lation of the Taft-Tartley ban
against union jurisdictional dis
putes and refusal to handle struck
work
