Plan 10 Fly Germans
For PeniciIIin Study
~ the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan. %.
An American Military Govern
ment plan to fly German scientists
to the United States to learn how
to boost Germany's penicillin pro-
duction suddenly was cancelled on
orders from Washington, it was
learned today.
Ten minutes before a group OF
German scientists was scheduled to
board the plane for America at
Wiesbaden last week, military gov
ernment sources said, officers
stopped them on orders contained
in an urgent War Department cable.
Instead, these informants said, a
committee believed to represent
commercial penicillin interests in
the United States will come to Ger
many to probe the possibilities OF
shipping penicillin bulk from Amer
lea for packaging in Germany.
Penicillin is urgently needed here
to halt the spread of venereal dis
ease among occupation troops and
German women growing menace
which American authorities have
fought by seeking German cooper
alton.
The original plan to boost produc-
ton of penicillin to $1,000, ,000, 600
units a month in the American zone
was. designed, among other things,
to eliminate a fantastic black mar
ket in the powerful germ-killing

Phone Workers Union
Meets Resistance on
Contract Demands

Local So, National Federation Of
Telephone Workers, today girded
for a contract fight sharpened by
unexpected resistance from the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co.
Opening discussions yesterday for
a $12 a week wage increase and
other demands proposed by NFTW
on national basis, the union was
rebuked by company proposals
which eliminated seniority rights,
maintenance of membership and
wage increases.
Faced for the first time in COM
pany union relations with situa-
ton that might deprive the union
of gains already made, Helery Rob-
inson, Union president, said the
company was attempting to force
employees to return to conditions in
existence prior to the Wagner Act.
The company's position was re-
garded by observers as the indus
try's annswer to NFTW's avowed
intention of winning IL points ma
tionally, with the alternative of
staging a national strike April 7.
Composed of 5000 accounting, COM
mercial and plant employees, the
unions relations with the company
has been exceedingly good in the
past.
The union went into yesterdays
meeting demanding union shop to
replace the present maintenance OF
plan. Other demands
high on the agenda include four
weeks vacation for 20-year en-
ployes, leave of absence for union
officers, premium pay for Saturday
and Sunday work and pensions
Time and a half for Saturday
work and double time for Sunday
work is being asked. The pensions
would begin at 500 monthly min
imum.
Present wages for employees COW
cred by the contract are: Account
ing, $29 to $55 after eight years;
service engineers. $36 to $87 after
nine years; commercial, $36 to $81;
hnemen, $31 to $40 after eight years;
plant employees, $31 to $76.
The negotiations, which do not
involve telephone operators, who fall
under a separate contract, will be
continued next Monday.
