BY the Assecioied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18-The
Army, bypassing the struck Water
front Employers Association, today
completed contracts for handling
essential Army cargo from West
Coast ports by employers using CIO
longshoremen.
The Office of Assistant Secretary
of the Army Gordon Gray said a
contract let to the mutual stevedor-
ing company of San Francisco would
cover the ports Of San Francisco,
Stockton and the Los Angeles area.
A similar contract covering Seat
tie was announced yesterday.
The statement said the Army
stopped recruiting civil service
longshoremen and associated dock
workers" when the contract was
signed but "the release of those
employed already is not contem-
plated"
Frees Military Cargoes.
The signing is expected to free all
strike-bound military cargoes from
the effects of the 17-day Pacific
Coast maritime strike, but had no
effect on civilian cargoes.
Military shipping accounts for 80
per cent of the Pacific Coasts nor
NAL cargoes.
The CIO International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemens Union
also announced it had reached an
agreement with the Mutual COM
pany to handle Army cargo in the
California ports 1t said, however
the agreement is subject to ratlf1-
cation by other maritime unions on
strike.
The unions involved will meet to-
morrow at II am. to arrange for
removal of picket lines at Army in
stallations.
Based on Previous Contracts.
Work was expected to begin by
Tuesday.
The Army's contract is based on
wages and working conditions In
effect in the industry prior to June
IS. 1948.''
The Army had Cancelled its con-
tracts with members of the San
Francisco Waterfront Employers As
socia ton. which refused an offer by
the longshoremen to handle Army
cargo under pre-strike conditions.
The association had said the Army
could use its own men to handle
cargoes and it was refusing to deal
further with the union until nol-
Communist affidavits were filed un-
der the Taft-Hartley Act.
In Seattle. the independent steve
doring firm of Griffiths g. Sprage,

The sharp, whining roar of small

with the deeper, distant sound of
the military aircraft participating

Most of the Is men and boys who
flew the able-controlled midget

Because of the limited area, no

exploitation of the potentialities
of atomic energy, we can bring bene-
fits to mankind beyond the widest

"THE MESSIAH" TO BE
GIVEN BY COMMUNITY
CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA

CONTINUED from page y
''The Messiah" was written
by George F. Handel in 1741
in just "a days. Handel con-
Quoted the first performance at
Dublin, Ireland, on April 18th,
1742. Thereafter H n d e |
brought out the Messiah every
year in London, with great ap-
plause. Since that time the Ora
torio has been sung every year
in hundreds of Christian
churches throughout the world.
It is with a great deal of JOY
full anticipation that Zion Choir
and Orchestra are sponsoring
"The Messiah" as community
effort for the 3rd time. This
year we are anxious to have
new voices, who have not sung
with us before, join with the
"old timers" who have sung
this great Oratorio for many
years. We hope in this way to
give more perfect rendition
from year to year. We know
that only by diligent practice
and Christian helpfulness this
community effect can be used
in spreading the "Christian
Suirit" for the honor and glory
of God and the extension of his
kingdom on earth.
Special rehearsals are being
held every Sunday afternoon
in Zion Auditorium at 3 o.
clock.
Presentation will be Sunday,
December 10Th at 3 p. m. in
