Earlier in the evening Joseph
A Beirne, president of the Nat
ional Federation of Telephone
workers, had declared that ito
morrow morning we strike"
"An our efforts have failed"
Beirne declared in an address
prepared for a Washington area
radio broadcast. Strike action is
being taken only as a last resort"
The NFTW leader spoke after
au-day conferences. with Labor de-
partment officials seeking an
eleventh-hour agreement to avoid
the strike by submitting the issues
to arbitration.
Earlier in the day Beirne an
nounced that the union is willing
to consider arbitration on az
industry-wide basis with all issues
at stake.
The American Telephone and
Telegraph company has held out
for arbitration only on wages, and
that only on a local basis between
unions and IT'S subsidiaries in the
Bell system.
Beirne's announcement on ar
bitration came after 4 meeting
with his policy committee, at
tended by John w. Gibson, as
sistant secretary Of labor, and
other government negotiators.
There was no immediate A. T. &
T. reaction but Secretary Of Labor
Lewis B. Schwellenbach later talk

president Of the company.
Attempt At Meeting
Apparently the Labor depart

agree or an arbitration plan.
The strike OF more than 300, 0OO

H0M me HEARING

Carter discharged when he learn
ed that she was married.
According to the adamant COM
missioner, who felt that the two
day on the scene investigation of
the home was tended to make a
hero of superintendent Carter,
today's meeting of the board will
hear charges of waste as well as
unkind treatment of the inmates.
Superintendent Carter, who con-
tends that he has nothing but re.
spect for Commissioner Trask,
has said that he will be at TO-
days meeting merely to defend
myself" against the insinuations
expected to be hurled by Long and
Mrs. Livingston.
Commissioner Trask's demands
for additional witnesses to be
heard by the counyt board came
following last Wednesdays ahd
Thursdays hearings at the
home.
There with the exception Of a
few inmates. both Superintendent
Garter and his wife, who is the
head matron, received nothing
but praise for their administ<a
ton of the institution.
Quick to sense that the probe
was going against his conten.
tons, Commissioner Trask, who
has been a member Of the county
commissioners for % years ane
heads the county home commit
tee, has threatened to resign from
the committee should no actor
be taken by his colleagues on thu
cimmission.
The full-dress probe, which fol
lowed on the heels of Commission
er Trask's original charges a
last Mondays session Of tn
board, has been presided over b.
Chairman Addison Hewlett, WIN
will also preside at today's meet
ing Of the commissioners.
The alledged charges agains
Superintendent Carter were ad
vanced by Commissioner Trasl
after Chairman Hewlett had an
nounced late Thursday after
noon that no decision would b
Preached until the full Board ha,
been given the opportunity t
study all of the data gathere,
during the two day investigate
at the county home.
At that time Chairman Hewlett
anticipated that the findings @
the probe would be ready for dis
cussion at today's regular meet
ing of the commissioners.
The demand for more witnesse
to be heard and the new charges
which are expected to be added t
Commissioner Trask's origina
contention that the inmates wer
not receiving kind treatment, vii
in all probability upset the com
m%issioners' time table for dispos
ing of the county home issue.

Britain Adds Potatoes
To Ration LIST, Limit
|s3 Pounds a Week
by fhs Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON. Nov. 8-Potato ration
ing was added tonight to the long
list of restrictions hsrassing Britons
Food Minister John Strachey-
following up recent cuts In the Brit
ish meat, bacon, sugar and fats
ations-announced that after to-
morrow potato sales will be limited
to 3 pounds per week per person
as the result of a shortage caused
by the summer drought.
Candy rations, he added, will be
cut as per cent-from 4 to ounces
a week-beginning January 4.
Mr.. Strachey told a news con-
ference that floods In the spring
and the summer drought, the worst
in so years, had cut the potato
crop 10 per cent below the average
yield. If rationing were not de-
creed, he declared, Sometime in
the spring potatoes would have run
out, and that would have been a
catastrophe"
Blow to Large Families.
Potato rationing, the food min
lister conceded. will be a particularly
hard blow to big British families,
who have depended largely on po-
tatoes to provide the bulk of the
starch diet since bread rationing
was invoked last week.
Children under five will be limited
to one and half pounds weekly
while children between the ages OF
five and 18 will get an increase OF

seven ounces weekly in their bread
rations to help Offset the potato
restriction.
The ration order affects England,
Scotland and Wales, but Northern
Ireland N not included
Mr.. Strachey estimated that this
years crop would total 100000
tons, compared with 10,166, 900 tons
last year, or drop of 20 per cent
below the l946 figure and 10 per
cent below the prewar average.
The minister said the government
was trying to import 10000 tons from
South Africa and was looking for
other sources, while exports to Ger
many and the processing Of pota toes
for livestock feed will be halted.
The Is per cent reduction in the
candy ration, he said, was necessary
because of cuts In the governments
imports from America to save dol
lars
Other dollar-saving ration cuts In
the last two months have sliced the
meat ration from "a cents worth per
week to 40 cents: the weekly bacon
ration from two ounces to one ounce:
the weekly sugar ration from 10
ounces to eight, and the fat ration
from eight ounces to seven weekly.
Sir Stafford Cripps, minister for
economics, told the House of Com
mons last month before potato ra-
tioning was decided on that reduc-
ton in food imports from the dollar
areas would cut the average Briton's
daily diet to 2,700 calories, about 800
calories below the average prewar
diet
