Despite the fact that wages
have more than tripled since
1899 and various benefits such as
paid vacations have been insti-
tuted, he said, there is no evil
dence to show that per capita
productivity has in any way
compensated for spiralling costs.
The trend in output per en-
ploye has been downward, he
added.
The industry, he reported, has
entered upon an era of post
war modernization, at an expen-
diture of about 5000, 10000 an
nually, and it needs to continue
for several years. Before 1929. he
said, the mills did not have the

Wages in the textile industry
have increased to a greater eX-
tent than in any other manufsc-
turing industry in the nation, he
said, and wages account for IS
to 40 percent of textile costs
Since 1899, he added, the cost
of cotton has increased more
than 200 per cent and other
supply costs have risen in like
proportion.
On the other hand, he continv

level "are hardly out of line

vshnsky Breaks Kremin|mposed Silence; Tells The UN.
Council Western Powers Broke Agreement On Berlin
Soviet Delegate
Refuses To Give
Pact DefoiIs

Paris. Oct. 15-AP)-Andrei Y.
Vishinksy broke his Kremlin-im-
posed silence in the. Security
Council today and renewed his
charge that the Berlin question
arose because the Western Pow
ers violated agreements with
Russia.
Six lesser powers on the coun-
Gil had appealed to the big four
to settle the blockade by direct
negotiation. -
Foreign Minister Juan A. Bra
muglia of Argentina, acting
council chairman, asked the four
big powers today for details on
the Aug. 80 agreement between
Prime Minister Stain and west
ern diplomats and for the in
structions given the four mill
tary governors of Germany to
implement the accord. Under. the
agreement, Russia was to lift the
blockade and the Western Pow
ers were to recognize the Soviet
mark as the sole currency for
Berlin.
The American, British and
French delegates said they were
willing to answer BramugIa's
questions at the next council
meeting on Berlin. ..7.-.
Vishinsky then rose and, de-
clared the Argentine's questions
were a very skilled" maneuver
to drag the Soviet delegation
into the Berlin debate. @
He said he would not "sWal-
low this bait" Vishinsky who
came to the council with a full
staff of assistants and made
doodles during the first part of
the meeting, went on:
1T is naive to believe the
Soviet Union will swallow this
.. bait. x X X No gentlemen, we
will not. We see no reason why
the Security Council should bur-
den itself with new details and
material"
Vishinsky repeated his theme
that there would be no Berlin
question if the western powers
had not violated agreements
made by the four nations oc-
cupying Germany.
When he finished, the old pro-
secutor turned around toward
members of his delegation. He
smiled broadly. Then he sat
down, seized his pencil and re-
turned to his doodle-making.

To Frank B. Noyes

Expressing their sorrow at the
death of Frank B. Moves, chairman
of the board of The Evening Star
and a founder of the Associated
Press, the Board of Directors of
the Board of Trade adopted me-
mortal resolution yesterday in trib-
ute to him.
Mr.. Noyes died last Wednesday at
his home here. He was IS.
The resolution said:
In the death of Mr. Frank B.
Noyes chairman of the Board of
Directors of The Evening Star
Newspaper Co. on December /, the
Washington Board of Trade loses
one of its oldest and most dis
tinguished members.
Became Member in 1896.
"Our early records show that he
became member of this organiZa-
ton in 1896-seven years after its
founding and two years before his
late brother. Theodore w. Noyes,
was elected fourth president of the
Board of Trade.
Frank B. Noyes, living to be IS
years old, was the sole survivor of
a notable group of high-minded
men who welded remarkable in
f1uence on the course of journal
ism in the United States. He al
ways considered himself neWspa-
perman, and he spent his entire life
in the newspaper business.
From his first summer job at l3
years of age he served The Evening
Star faithfully, becoming treasurer
and business manager in 1886
when only %.
He was elected president of The
Evening Star Newspaper Co. In
1910, following the death of his
father, Crosby S. Noyes, and pre-
sided over the business interests of
The Star until last February.
"One of the founders and first
president of the Associated Press,
M Moves companioned for three
decades with nearly 10 directors of
that far-fung gathering en-
terprise-themselv the outstand-
ing leaders of modern journalism in
America.
Kept Common Touch.
He once wrote that he regarded
this service as a solemn trustee
ship. and l have never known of
an action taken that had anything
else as its object than the best
interests of our association.
He often walked with statesmen,
but always kept the common touch
with the humblest employe on The
Evening Star.
His death is a loss to that news
paper, the Board of Trade and the
community, shared by all vino knew
Mr.. Noyes or had the great prlvi-
lege of working with him.
Therefore, be it resolved,
THAT this resolution il his mem
ory be adopted by the directors of
the Washington Board of Trade at
their monthly meeting on Decem-
ber 6, 1940, and
That copies signed BY the presi-
dent and secretary of the board be
forwarded to his family and the
officers of The Evening Star News

Quilts Forces Rout
Left Wing in Stormy
WU Election Session
By the Associctsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. THE CIC
Transport Workers Union today set
tied the dust of its stormy opening
meeting-a session which routed
left-Wing forces-and shook down
to routine convention business.
President Michael J. Quill of New
York, reelected last night in tur-
bulent overtime meeting, rammed
through his slate of officers and Ex-
ecutive Board members. Mr.. Quill,
head of the union which represents
about 100000 subway, bus, street.
car, airlines and natural gas workers,
said after his election:
We are tired of answering the
foul statements of the New York
Daily Worker. They have had their
answer here in the election
Mr.. Quill has been the unions
president since it was organized
in 1886.
Election Is Innovation.
Delegates shouted "steamroller'
and why don't you practice democ-
racy?" as the Quill forces rolled up
steady majorities in an election
which was itself an innovation in
that it started rather than ended
the sixth biennial convention.
The convention also abolished two
jobs previously held by left wingers.
They were the director of organiza-
ton, filled by John Santo of New
York, who has been ordered removed
as an undesirable alien; and the
executive vice presidency held by
Austin Hogan. New York left Winger,

extremely interested in the WASH
ingtcn apparatus.
Says He Arranged Meeting.
IN August or the early fall of
1887, I arranged a meeting between
Alger Hiss and Col. Bykov. For that
purpose. Mr.. Hiss came to New York
where l met him. -" Col. Bykov
= raised the question Of procur-
ing documents from the State De-
partment and Mr.. Hiss agreed.
Following that meeting. Alger
Hiss began a fairly consistent flow
of such material as We have be-
fore us here. The method was for
him to bring home documents in
his briefcase which Mrs. Hiss uSu-
ally typed. +''
I There occasionally came to Mr.
Hiss knowledge certain things, or
he saw certain papers which he was
not able to bring out OF the depart
nent for one reason or another,
either because things merely passed
through his hands quickly, or be-
cause he thought it inadvisable. But
notations in his handwriting are
notes of such documents. such in
formation, which he made and
brought out in that form"
l. J. Peters has previously been de-
scribed by committee witnesses as
the brains of the Communist
underground in the United States.
Committee files show that the late
Walter G.. Kriyitsky, onetime Soviet
intelligence officer, once testified
that a Boras Bykov had been chief
of the Soviet secret police after 1886.
Handwriting Appraisal by Expert.
Mr.. Nixon described the docu-
ments now in the committees pos
session as restricted documents -
important documents which in
some cases contained military in
formation.
Included in the documents which
Mr.. Chambers introduced and copies
of which the committee has in its
possession are three documents in
Mr.. Hiss handwriting, Mr.. Nixon
told reporters.
The documents are not signed by
Mr.. Hiss but the committee has just
completed a handwriting appraisal
by handwriting expert in the Gov
ernment and he said conclusively
and without qualification that they
were in Mr.. Hiss handwriting, the
Legislator added.

Officials Of Symphony
Oppose Merger With
Baltimore Orchestra

= Officials of the National SYM
phony Orchestra today said a mer-
ger of the National and Baltimore
Symphony Orchestras appeared i'm
practical at present.
The merger proposal was ad-
vanced editorially last Thursday
morning by the Baltimore Sun as
the municipality supported Balti-
more Symphony revealed a finan-
cial crisis verging on bankruptcy
1t brought out the fact that such
merger, considered informally at
various times since the National
Symphony was founded, already has
been discussed secretly by National
Symphony officers for the last year
However, views of several officials of
the Washington orchestra appear
to discount the practicability of
such a merger now.
Jelleff Cites Obstacles.
There would be many insur-
mountable obstacles to be overcome
before such merger could be &C
complished,' Frank Jelleff, vice
president of the National Symphony,
pointed out. Personally, I don't
see any possibility of such change
for the coming season."
Mr.. Jelleff also said plans for next
season have been worked out. En-
thusiasm for the coming drive for
funds is high, he said
Emerson Meyers, member of the
National Symphony Board, also ex-
pressed the view that merger now
seems impracticable.
Il question whether the municipal
subsidy now provided the Baltimore
Symphony Orchestra would be con-
tinued if a merger is effected" he
said The National Symphony will
always be glad to receive contribu-
tions from its sister cities and also
will be happy to play as many con-
certs for them as they wish. How
ever. merger now seems imprac-
ticable to me as there are many
difficulties to be overcome"
No Time to Think of Merger.
This is not the time to think of
a merger Mrs. Philip Strong, pub
licity chairman for the Womens
committee of the National Orches-
ira, declared. Every one should
work hard for the National Sym
phony Orchestra in the coming
drive
The desirability of having an or
chestra for the Nations Capital was
cited by Paul Schwartz, president of
Local l61, American Federation of
Musicians. as one factor against a
merger. Mr. Schwartz also OBJ
served the National Symphony Or
chestra has been employing musi-
clans while providing music for the
District and noted this as another
reason for keeping the orchestra
going.
He further said concerts for chill
dren are of great Importance in cul-
tivating musical taste in the COM
ing generations and thought dates
for such concerts would be difficult
to work out satisfactorily for school
children in both cities.
