New York Bus Strike
Halted by Truce
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April TIA tenn
porary truce ended strike against
six Manhattan bus routes today and
checked the threatened spread of
the walkout to other lines carrying
100000 passengers daily.
The truce, effective pending fur
ther negotiations, was announced by
Mayor William O'Dwyer after a
conference yesterday with repre-
sentatives CT the CIO Transport
Workers Union and the bus COM
panies.
The union seeks a 30-cent-an-
hour wage increase.
Willingness of the union and COM
panies to resume their long-dead-
locked negotiations, it was reported,
was based on their expectation the
Mayor would approve an increase in
the scent transit fare. Mayor
O'Dwyer had said previously he
would make known his decision on
the increase Tuesday.
These developments in the transit
situation were announced at the
close of the Mayors conference:
Settlement of the l0-day-old strike
of $50 employees of the Eastside and
Comprehensive Omnibus Corp. The
six routes operated by the two firms
and halted by the strike normally
carry about 100000 passengers daily.
Agreement by the TWU Executive
Committee to hold up any action on
a union-authorized strike against
the Fifth Avenue Coach Co., the
New York City Omnibus Corp. and
the Third Avenue Transit Corp.
pending the announcement of the
Mayors views on the transit fare.
The committee, Mayor O'Dwyer said,
agreed to resume negotiations with
the companies next Wednesday.

By Frances Lide

More than $40, 900 of its $3.50, 1000
goal was raised by the Washington
Women's Division of the United
Jewish Appeal at its second annual
500 minimum-gift luncheon held
yesterday at the Mayflower Hotel.
Individual donations ranging from
$l00 to $11, 900 were pledged by more
than 900 women, following addresses
by Mrs. Ernest Wadel, national
chairman of the Women's Division,
and Mrs. Fanny Barzilai. former
interpreter for the British Army.
who was interned in five German
concentration camps during the
war.
There were sobs throughout the
ballroom as Mrs. BarZilai, who was
born in Berlin and educated In
Paris, told of her own experiences
as a Nazi prisoner and of the
despair of the Jews in Europe who
have not yet found home.
Reminding her audience of the
Jews still in DIP camps, Mrs.
Barzilai warned bitterly: The day
will come when they will get tired
of sitting behind bars. They will
go crazy and kill their guards. And
you will have no right to criticize
for you don't know what 1t is to sit
for years in a concentration camp,
to lose your family one by one '@'.
You wouldn't take it for "a hours.
but they'll take 1t as long as they
have one hope"
Mrs. Wadel, who recently made a
trip to Europe in behalf of the UJA,
also warned that the morale OF the
DPS is desperately low"
The Jews in Germany" she said.
"are locked in by a fear of anti
Semitism, and in other countries
they are locked in by tragic MEM
cries. But they don't want charity,
they want chance"
Mrs. Edward Cafritz, chairman OF
the Washington Women's Division,
presided at the luncheon and Mrs.
Charles Goldsmith, honorary chair
man of the appeal for the WASH
irgton area, announced the dona-
tions as they were pledged.
General solicitations in the drive
will be continued under the chair
manship of Mrs. Henry Hirsh.

This Changing World

tions paid any attention to the
winds" message intercepted by mil
itary intelligence on December q,
1941, indicating that war between
Japan and the United States and
Britain would break out within 48
hours.
Organization of the Central In
telligence Agency was the work Of
a handful of people in Washington
who realized that a well-organized
and efficient intelligence service was
worth several divisions and lombard
ment groups before the outbreak OF
any war.
The CIA is young and conse-
quently has not been able yet to
create the necessary intelligence
network to meet the present diff
cult situation. The Bogota incident
gave it black eye, principally be-
cause those outside top Government
positions did not understand why
no one had warned the State De-
partment of the real situation in
Colombia. The work of the CIA is
of a highly confidential nature.
CIA Has Been INDICATED.
AS it is, CIA has been fully vindi-
Gated. But it is clear that those who
should have paid attention to its
warnings still hold the view that in
telligence is just a game played by
some young men who delight In
sending alarming reports about con-
ditions abroad.
The bulk of reports received at
Central Intelligence headquarters
are top secret. AS such they are pre-
sented only to a very few Of the
highest ranking officials in the Gov
ernment and are never divulged to
the public.
Perhaps it will be advisable for
the intelligence services to alter
their policy and release to the public
really important communications
dealing with matters other than ma
tional defense. The public, by show
ing concern, could compel Wash
ington officials to pay more atten-
ton to intelligence warnings when
they are received.
Despite the many knocks we have
received as a Nation, we are still
wishful thinkers. In many instances
high Government officials prefer to
withhold disturbing news from the
people, in the belief that 1t should
be properly digested.
Some important top-secret COM
munications, such as the warning Of
December 4, 1941, and those recently
in reference to Bogota, are dismissed
by officials who prefer peace of mind
to facts and realities.

Spanish Press RidicuIe
OF Truman Protested
BY the Assoeioted Press

MADRID, April 1.-THE Amer
lean Embassy yesterday protested
against publication of newspaper
article which ridiculed President
Truman as failure as shirt
salesman" The article was pub
lished by the totalitarian Falange
Party in the city of Cordoba.
The Embassy said the basis of the
protest was that the Falange Party
is the only one permitted in Spain
and that the Spanish domestic press
is subject to censorship and gov
ernment control. The Embassy said
the article was written by Salvador
Vallina, who is member of the
official delegation of the press OF
the movement (Falange)."
The article was published April 8
1t said 1T is clear and obvious that
Mr.. Truman does not enjoy much
popularity among his compatriots
What is true is that a President OF
a republic can die any day and then
these things happen which convert q
failure as a shirt salesman into a
sort of navel of the world"
The article also referred to the
American President as that North
American gentleman whose daugh-
ter has made him famous by sing
ino sonpS over fhp most famous
radio broadcast stations in the
United States"
1t was believed the article was the
result of a statement from the
White House opposing inclusion OF
Spain in the European Recovery
Program. A House of Representa-
tives, amendment to the Marshall
Plan bill provided for inclusion OF
Spain, but this provision was elim-
mated before final passage of the
measure.
