Reject Offer, Stay on Strike

About 200 union warehouse en-
ployes of Peoples Drug Stores con-
tinued on strike here today after
rejecting company offer of settle
ment at q meeting yesterday.
Pickets were on duty at several

ciliator James Crockett attempted

mands include across-the- board
wage increases of $40 for 4U-hour

tions and other benefits. Workers

by The Assoeiotsd Press

BRUSSELS, Feb. 27.-Hospital
authorities said today that 40 per-
sons hurt in a riot near the Par
Lament Building yesterday had been
discharged before midnight and only
one policeman still was hospital
lied.
The riot occurred when approx
mately $4,000 demonstrators, de-
manding full payment Of q bonus
for persons imprisoned or deported
by the Nazis, were confronted by
gendarmes and cavalrymen on their
way to the Parliament Building,
where the cabinet was meeting.
The crowd swept through three
lines of these forces and stopped
only when machine guns and rifles
were fired over their heads from
behind steel fencing. The Min
istry Of the Interior said about 40
were injured and one man was
found dead in the street, evidently
Of heart trouble.
1t. Col. Raoul oe F'raiteur, Min
lister of Defense and special tar

not have the money.

New wCommunist Drive
Reported Sweeping
To Changchun Area
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

NANKING, Feb. 27.-Nearly
125, 600 tank-led Chinese Com
munists have opened a fierce
drive in Manchuria that has
swept to within IS miles of
Changchun, the capital, govern
ment dispatches said today.
Unconfirmed press dispatches said
government troops had withdrawn
from Changchuns suburbs to the
center Of the city in anticipation of
a Communist attack. These reports
said government officials have been
evacuated.
Whether this was the 1ong-await-
ed push to break the winter lull in
that vast region was not known in
Marking, where 1t was impossible to
confirm the Central News Agency
report.
The government agency in a dis
patch from Changchun said the
Communists quickly overran Nun
gan and Kiutai, 80 miles north and
80 miles Northeast respectively of
the capital.
Advance units then lanced on
southwark to Wanpaoshan, a vii
|iage only Is miles north OF Chang
|chun. the agency addea.
This would place the vanguard
so miles or more south of the
Sungari River, which has been the
dividing line between the contend
ing armies, since Manchuria's long
and harsh winter settled over the
land.
Previous reports from the zone
have indicated, however, that wide
stretches on both sides of the Sum
gari are but lightly held, and any
attackers in force could move
quickly against little resistance.
II the Communists are headed for
Changchun they will run into
hard core of resistance because the
capital is stoutly garrisoned.
The reports oyershadowed the
fighting in China proper, which in
recent weeks has been centering
around the Tentsin- -Pukow railway
in Central and Southern Shantung
Province.

Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities predicted today the Gov

nation of David E. Lilienthal as
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission today appeared
likely to go over until next week.

may force postponement Of the
decision originally set for Saturday.
The committee, which tentatively
closed a month Of open hearings

ing today to determine whether any
additional testimony is needed to
round out the general view that has
been given of Mr.. Lilienthal and
his four fellow nominees to the

Clements, Chelf, Spence, Chapman
and Bates and Republican Morton, !
addressed letter to Senator
Hckenlooper saying they regretted
the attacks made on the nominee.
Expressing the hope that the
Senate committee will report the
nomination favorably. they called
Mr.. Lilienthal "a capable, expert
enced public servant of high in
tegrity and sterling patriotism"
Representative Robson, Repub-
lican, of Kentucky told reporters
he didn't sign because he had not
heard the evidence and it was a
matter for the, Senate tc decide.

JurisdieiionaI Fight
10 Refard
Service Merger Bill
~ the A,,eelutsd Pros.

With a potential. jurisdictional
dispute simmering in the Senate,
Congress gave signs today of
proceeding slowly with President
Truman's Army-Navy merger
bill.
The measure-patterned after the
compromise program announced by
the White House last month
reached Capitol Hill yesterday and
promptly brought into the open the
long threatened argument over
which Senate committee should
handle it.
While acknowledging there is
plenty Of room for argument, Sen
ate President Vandenberg offered
his opinion that the legislation
should 60 to the Armed Services
Committee headed by Senator Cur
ney.
Final Decision Delayed.
But Chairman Aiken Of the Ex-
penditures Committee protested that
the Is members Of his group had
decided unanimously two weeks ago
they should handle the bill under
terms of the Congressional Reor-
ganization Act.
Before any fireworks could flare,
however. Senator Aiken persuaded
both Senators Vandenberg and
Gurney to delay a final decision un-
til the current argument over budget
cutting is decided-probably tomor-
row.
The House agreed without dispute
to send the measure to its Expendi-
lures Committee, which considered
similar legislation last session with
out action.
Chairman Hoffman indicated his
group will not rush hearings on the
merger proposal, however, because
1t has many other matters Of higher
priority to act on.
Making Five Inquiries Now.
The House committee Is conduct
ing five separate investigations on
topics ranging from surplus prop
erty disposal methods to what Gov
ernment agencies could be abol-
ished.
In the Senate, Senator Gurney
and fellow members of his Armed
Services Committee predicted con-
fidently to a reporter that they will
win Jurisdiction over the measure.
Senator Aiken already had sched-
uled meeting Of his Expenditures
Committee today, and the issue ap-
peared to be likely topic of dis
cusSion.

Molten Flood Of Lava
Continues 10 Flow
From Mount Etna
By HE Assoeiot.d Press

/ PALERMO, Sicily, Feb. 81
A motherhood Of lava which has
been boiling out Of a new crater
in Mount Etna since Tuesday
rolled steadily onward today
near Passo Pisciaro, the first
mountain hamlet in its path.
"a Catania dispatch to Ansa,
the Italian news agency, later in
the morning quoted the pilot Of
an Italian observation plane
which flew over the area from
Bari today as saying the lava
flow was cutting of to the left
OF Passo Pisciaro and that the
village, for the time being at
least, appeared to be out of
danger)
The projects of neighboring towns,
as well as the archbishop Of Paler-
mo, Ernesto Cardinal Rufini, were
near the scene, assisting residents
who were ready to flee II the fiery
stream was not arrested.
For Passo Pisciaro, an outlying
part of Castiglione di Stella on the
volcanoes northeastern slope, there
were only an estimated three or
four days of life remaining at the
lava's present measured rate of ad-
vance.
Smoke from the molten streams
still obscured the scene and barred
accurate observations.
The population Of Passo Pisciaro
which Is at an altitude of about
1900 feet, was reported to be about
1000, and the population of Castig-
lone di Stella at about 1000 feet,
about 10000. The larger town was
not expected to be endangered by
the lava.
The swiftest rate Of flow-nearly
q quarter Of mile an hour-was
not directed at PaSso Pisciaro, which
won some extra time because Of the
fact that ravines were gathering
part of the lava flood, which at GER
tain points was described as more
than 600 feet in depth.
Late dispatches to Rome last night
said the lava had approached to
within less than 2 miles of Passo
Pisciaro. A dispatch from Giarre
to the Rome newspaper Risorgi-
mento Liberale said the flow at some
points had speeded to about 1900
feft' af1 hour on front ofss1 1bUut
800 yards.
Risorgimento's correspondeht said
the inhabitants of Passo Pisciar0
had assembled their belongings in
front of their poor homes" in read
mess to flee. L'Unita's Catania cor
described the lava flow
as; a "sea of fire" submerging forests
and fields as it passed. ac inAst
