Longshoremen Reject
Final Wage Offer
By the Assecioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. GAIL long
shoremen in both New York and
Philadelphia have voted down by
overwhelming margins final en-
ployer wage offer.
The West Coast already is strike
bound by a work stoppage of CIO
longshoremen. An AFL walkout in
the East would result in a three
coast tieup of almost all shipping,
because gulf coast stevedores have
promised to go along with the long
shoremen's union.
In New York, members Of the
International Longshoremen's AS
sociation voted 12,436 to 932 against
accepting the New York shipping
associations offer. The National
Labor Relations Board announced
the balloting results.
In Philadelphia, an NLRB official
said stevedores in that port area
cast 1853 of 2,901 ballots against
accepting the wage offer.
An official of Philadelphia LILA
local 1891 said union officers are
scheduled to meet in New York
Monday to discuss strike plans. A
court order restraining a walkout
expires Tuesday.
What was termed the final en-
ployer offer calls for a 10-cent raise
in the SITS hourly straight time
rate, 15-cent increase in the week
end hourly rate of $2.61, plus re-
vised working conditions.
Originally the union had asked a
50-cent hourly increase in the SITS
rate.

Health Departments
Campaign Against vD
Is Termed Success

The Health Department has sue
ceeded in getting venereal disease
information to large percentage of
Washington residents, according to
a report made public yesterday or
results of poll taken for the de-
partment.
A total of sos persons, represent
ing a cross-section of the city, was
interviewed, it was stated. Asked
whether they could recall hearing of
any campaigns against specific dis
eases recently, so per cent of those
questioned said they were aware of
the drive against venereal disease,
it was reported.
Other questions asked in the sur
vey indicated the campaign had
been successful in telling people how
venereal diseases can be cured, Of
ficials of the Health Department
said. :.
According to records of Health
Department clinics, where cases of
venereal disease are treated, there
has been a A per cent increase in
applications for examination since
the campaign started.
Through the 100 private physi-
clans participating in the drive, l.
083 patients have received treat
ment for venereal disease in three
months as against only 1896 for the
year of 1947.
One doctor writing to the depart
ment evaluated the success of the
campaign as follows:
Although I have not seen any
new cases of gonorrhea lately, wish
to express to you the fact that your
publicity program is a big help to
me in my practice. No longer does
anybody object to being examined
for venereal disease, and many hove
come in just to make sure. I can
now examine my patients for gonor-
rhea and syphilis without the ne
cessity of being super-diplomat
as was formerly the case"

Senator Downey was chairman Of
