Phone Workers Ballot
Tonight on WAGE Offer

Members of Division SO, Commu-
nications Workers of America, will
decide in Turner's Arena at 8 o'clock
tonight whether to accept final
wage offer of the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co.
Averaging SAIL weekly for 3,61s
plant, accounting and commercial
employees, the increase was approved
last week by the division Negotiat-
ing Committee and CWA 1nterna-
tional Executive Board
All that remains for the increase
to become effective, retroactive to
last Sunday, is for the membership
to ratify it tonight.
Other offers made by the COM
pany during 80 days of negotiations
with the operators union, Division
so, CWA, were rejected by the Ne
gotiating Committee. In turning
down 81 to s4 weekly increases
union officials said the offer failed
to provide adequately for the low
scale brackets and that the COM
pary nullified part of the gain by
revising the progression pay
schedules.

Hospital Center Architect
Stresses Latest Devices

Every known 1abor-saving device
for nurses, as well as new facilities
for the comfort of patients, are
being planned for Washington S pro-
posed new hospital center, accord
ing to Gilbert Stanley Underwood
consulting architect of the Public
Buildings Administration.
AS architect in charge OF design
ing the center to be built on the
site of the Naval Observatory, Mr.
Underwood recently spent go days
in Europe studying hospitals In Il
countries. He. found Europe is
ahead of us in some respects but
tagging behind American ingenuity
in labor saving devices.
Mr.. Underwood discussed what he
saw in Europe at luncheon OF the
Washington Building Congress yes
terday in the Mayhower Hotel.
The architect said plans for the
new center are in the advanced
tentative stage" Work cannot star
IN any event until the Navy re-
leases the Observatory grounds, ht
said. That depends ON Congress
appropriating the funds and decid'
ing on a new site for the Observa
tory, which is to be placed some dis
tance from Washington.
He reported the Navy is planning
on year to build new observ
atory, and Mr. Underwood estimated
two years will be needed for con

u. ). TO Continue Aid
To China at Present
Rate, Hoffman Says

China's Nationalist government
was assured today of continued
American economic aid in the face
of spreading gains by Chinese Com
munist armies.
The schedule of recovery ship
ments to Chinese nom Communist
areas remains the same,n Paul G.
Hoffman, head of the Economic Co.
operation Administration, asserted
after a top-level policy review last
night.
His statement followed a meeting
with Undersecretary of State Lovett
and the ECA and State Department
experts on China.
Apparently it was decided to con-
tinue recovery help at the present
rate, neither speeding 1t up nor
slowing it down, until the Chinese
situation clarifies.
will Not Change Program.
Mr.. Hoffman said the China aid
program, under which rice, wheat,
flour, cotton, fertilizer and petrol
cum are being shipped, will not vary
from terms of the Chinese American
recovery agreement signed on July 8.
1t was clear, however, that aid
would be cut off to any areas taken
over by the Communists. Mr.. Hoff-
man said an American-financed food
distribution program in Mukden
''has of course been discontinued"
since Mukden fell to the Commun-
lists last week.
In Shanghai, meanwhile, Roger D.
Lapham, chief of the American aid
mission in China, said American
food will make up the major portion
OF rations to be started in Shanghai
at the end of this month.
Blames Government.
Mr.. Lapham said he was shocked
at the distress noticeable in Shang-
hal on his return there from Wash
ington. II had been warned in
Washington" the Associated Press
quoted him as saying, but I could
not realize how grave was the con-
dition Of nearly all classes of people
IN their search for food"
He blamed the Chinese govern
ment's "unsound economic measures
and poor planning" for the food
shortage. Some rioting and panic
because of the lack of food was
reported in Shanghai and other
coastal cities.
A Chinese Embassy spokesman
here said his government is con-
sidering making DR.. H. H. Kung,
former Chinese Finance Minister
now in Riverdale, N. Y, where he
has been undergoing medical treat
ment, special representative of
Chang Kai-shek to the United
States. He would deal with emer-
Rency political and economic matters.

The Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation last night adopted a reso-
luton appealing to the District
Public Utilities Commission to re-
quest the Capital Transit Co. to
erect q bus terminal in the vicinity

bers said buses park on Eastern

not permitted to board them, but

izens' Associations. Delegates viii

BOSTON, New. 9. Extensive

Union Shop Contract
Similar 10 UNW's
Held illegal by NLRB

The National Labor Relations
Board has described as illegal a
union shop contract similar to
the one John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers signed last sum-
mer with the commercial soft
coal operators.
The decision was an indication
that the board may toss out the coal
agreement when 1t is called on to
rule on its validity. The steel in
dustry has challenged the Lewis
contract and the case now is before
Ia NLRB trial examiner for an
opinion.
In the present case, the board
ruled that contract between a st.
Louis manufacturer and the CIO
United Steelworkers does not con-
form to the Taft-Hartley Act.
Provides 15-Day Basis.
The contract provides for a union
shop on 15-day basis. That means
that new workers must join the
union within Is days after being
hired. The agreement also calls for
the compulsory checkoff of union
dues evidently without written
authorization" of individual en-
ployes, the board said. Taft
Hartley also bans compulsory check
offs.
NLRB held the contract Is illegal
because no election was held to de-
termine the employees wish to be
represented by the union, and added
that there Is evidence to show that
both the company and the union
"are in accord in denying employ
ment to those who refuse to join
the union within the required time. "
Commercial soft coal operators
signed an agreement giving the
UNIV a union shop without going
through the Taft Hartley procedure
Of holding an election.
Couldn't Hold Election.
The board said it could not have
conducted a bargaining election for
the workers involved because the
steelworkers' union has not COM
piled with the Taft-Hartley pro-
vision requiring filing of non-Com-
munist affidavits upon the part Of
[ its officials.
The NLRB also cited a provision
of the law which says it is illegal
for union dues to be collected by an
employer unless the individual
