scripts for radio, he continued to

around Radio Row as "Abel the
Label Mana name that still
sticks!
After submitting gags to ra-
dio shows now and then he was
signed for "Texaco Star Theater"
in 1889. After that, scripting for
the then Ed Gardeners "This Is
New York" program on CHS, Abe
introduced the character "Archie"
which in turn inspired formation
of "Duffy's Tavern" In Holly
wood Abe wrote for many of the
topranking radio programs as
well. Then in 1947, CHS premier
ed the Abe Burrows Show, which
Abe owns, and for which he writes
all material, including lyrics and
music for his zany songs and the
patter that sandwiches his lyrical
satirics.
Abe is married, has a wife and
two children. His method of piano
playing is completely unorthodox.
Self-taught, he says his lingering
is all wrong "but somehow it gets
on top of tune" He enjoys be-
ing satirical, but feels some things
simply can't be satirized. His adj
vice to budding satirists: "The

The new look" in architecture pro-
vided by modem houses built without
Easements and hugging the ground,
calls for new look in the landscap-
ing planting about them.
The green line of shrubs and ever
green's which looks so well on two
story houses with high Easements, is
obviously out of place in front of a
low, modern house. Too often you
see picture windows screened by a
tall growth of shrubbery, and the at
tractive lines of ranch house hidden
behind evergreens which in a brief
period have grown too tall.
Foundation planting is method Of
making houses set too high, seem
lower than they are by ''tieing the
house to the ground" But modem one
story houses hug the ground already
and do not need to appear lower If
any planting is done in front of them
it should be low and should make the
house look wide, by emphasizing the
horizontal line. Small houses especially
need this effect.
Flower borders accomplish this pur-
pose They provide an attractive foil
for the somewhat severe lines which
prevail in houses primarily designed

for the comfort of the occupants rather
than for outside appearance.
Front yard flower gardens provide
an attractive view to enjoy from pic
ture windows. Architects often ar
range for two level paintings, one on
the ground and one in boxes raised to
a point just below the windows.
When flowers are planted in BED
each of a single color, and all in
harmony, the effect is in keeping with
modem ideas of design and decora-
ton.
The illustrations show such a plant
ing, in rectangular beds, as well as
the use of two level flower borders.
In addition to the flowers which are
suggested, other flowers of different
colors may be used, to harmonic with

In contrast this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to fout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long viii the American public stand
Tor the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
OF the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
few dictatorial union leaders to DEFY the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare That is why the railroads have ac-
cepted the Emergency Board recommends
tIons. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call paralyzing strike.
Smyrna times., 1948-05-06

THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than one-tenth of all vrailroad
employees, have called a railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 151z cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem-
Der ], 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 151S cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen and the Switchmen's Union of
North America won't accept what more than
900 of all railroad employees have accepted
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawn-in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and fremen are among the high
est paid of all employees in America, as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are means provided

ing the partition proposal the
American delegate, Herschel v.
Johnson, bluntly stated that no
plan acceptable to Jews and Arabs
had ever been presented that he
believed no such plan twill ever
be presented" and that he was
convinced that eff we are to effect
through the United Nations a So
luton of this problem it cannot be
done without the use Of the knife" :"
In his statement of the Amer
lean position, Senator Warren
Austin contended that, under the
U.N. Charter, the Council could
use force to preserve peace and
order in Palestine but not to
enforce the General Assembly's S
partition decision.
Crisis Created
It was felt that the proposal was
a deviation from the original po-
sition taken by the us. before
the General Assembly, since by
voting for partition the us. re-
jected what the Arabs then claim
ed was an illegal procedure. 1t was
also felt that, since the American
statement questioned the author
ity of the Council to enforce po-
litical decision by international
authority, the Arab states could
claim their activities were not a
threat to international peace since
they were solely directed against
a solution of political problem
which the U.N. lacked the author
ity to enforce.
Belief that the US. statement
was not indicative of a reversal
or of rejection of the Assembly's
partition decision was expressed
by Trygve Lie, U.N. Secretary
General, who told a press confer
ence that the legal responsibility
of enforcing the decision rested on
