Truman Lets Blind Bill
-
Die, S|aps al Congress
lY the Assoeiafsd Rfssa

A bill aimed at helping sightless
persons who can work part time Is
in President TrumanIs dead"
basket today because he said 1t was
unfair to the unemployed blind.
Mr.. Truman slapped at Congress
for its "hasty, last-rpinute passage"
Of the measure, which would have
let States disregard earnings OF up
to $40 month when making pay
ments to blind persons.
The President said he was letting
the bill die unsigned because States
with limited funds could boost ben.
eflts to one group only at the ex.
pense of the other.
1T would actually lead to reduce
tions in the assistance payments OF
thousands Of blind persons who are
most in need of assistance and
whose payments are even far below
that necessary to sustain them at
decent standard Of living" Mr..
Truman said
But the California Council for the
Blind termed the Presidents arsu-
ment shallow and absurd"
DR.. Newell Perry, blind president
Of the organization. said in a state
ment here that present law penal
ICES the blind by having their
amount Of public assistance reduced
by the exact amount Of each dollar
they earn"
That, he said, operates precisely
as a 100 per cent income tax on the
poorest of our citizens"

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, July 3.
The Most Rev. John J. Swint,
Catholic bishop of the Wheeling
diocese, yesterday rejected an invi-
tation to the Miss West Virgins"

Bishop Swint ANNOUNCED he would

dropped out but 18-year-old Mari
ruth Ford, a Catholic, stayed in the
contest and won 1t.
Bishop Swint has not indicated If
he will take any further action.
Meantime, sponsors invited him to
Moundsyille to see that the State
wide elimination for the Miss Amer
ica pageant in Atlantic City lis on
a high moral plane"
II have no doubt Of your inten-
tions." Bishop Swint replied by let
ter. But I still contend that II
the display of nakedness were
eliminated the whole thing would
fall to pieces I shall not be pres
ent. The pictures in the papers
alone are enough to condemn the
whole affair.
1T may interest you to know that

from non- Catholics.
"Of these, SO congratulated and
commended me for the stand have
taken. In opposition were 36 letters

New Writ Obtained 10 Avert
West Coast Shipping Strike
By the Assoeioisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-A
"cooling-o1" injunction under the
Taft Hartley Act today banned a
tieup of West Coast shipping at
least until September 2.
Taking action similar to that OF
Eastern Courts, Federal Judge
George B. Harris yesterday extend
ed a temporary restrainer for the
full s0-day period provided by law.
The temporary order, issued June
IA. had been extended once before,
for 10 days and would have expired
July 4. The new injunction dates
from June IA.
Judge Harris recognized the Gov
ernment's contention that a mari
time tieup would imperil the Ma
tional health and safety. His order
called on both employers and un-
ions, whose strike originally was
scheduled for June Is, to bargain in
good faith.
The order prohibiting strike or
lockout was directed against 1872
union and employer groups, who
had been complying with the tenn
porary restrainer.
Main obstacle barring settle
ment of contract negotiations is the
hiring hall. Unions want to con-
tinue the hall with . union dis
patcher, as formerly. Employers
contend this violates the Taft-Hart-
ley Act.

His country. which claims a daily
oil production of 1900 900 barrels, is
mainly concerned with finding a
place to invest the money it has,

zuela wants from the United States,
he added, is chance to buy needed
production machinery in the open
market here.
Mr.. Gallegos said he doubts Vene-
zuela will grant additional foreign
oil concessions in the near future,
because the present rate OF produc-
tion of existing concessions could
easily be trebled. But he scoffed at
questions about Yankee imperial
ism"

Mr.. Gallegos' remarks
Mr.. Gallegos said he finds little
time to write these days. He laughed

"I have no planS." he said But

The Arkansas avenue association
was forcibly impressed by the fact
the crime occurred in an adjoining
neighborhood. To prevent recur-
renee, other citizens groups might
show a united front against such
crimes by helping to swell the re-
ward money, Mr.. Gauss suggested.
Inspector Bryant said police still
are interested in finding 35-year-
old man seen at Fourteenth street
and Park road last Sunday. He
had a bloody shirt and face and
was trying to catch ride. Police
also want to talk to three girls seen
hurrying from the murder area, be-
