Plague Turkey

INSTANBUL - (R) - Shortages
are plaguing Turkey again. Sugar
is virtually non-existent so far as
the consumer is concerned. 1t is
being "allocated" once again. The
government will not use the word
eration.D Rumors of shortage OF
matches started a run that wiped
out supplies in virtually every
store and stand within single day
Actually, there are plenty of mat
ches but the run reflected a deep
concern among buyers. Tea is vir-
tualIy impossible to find.
The wheat content in bread has
been reduced and, unless you bake
at home or find black market
source, you must, be satisfied with
very heavy, brown loaf that
hardly tastes like bread. But
there's no shortage of food in gen.
eral-for those who can afford to
buy it. Markets are jammed with
lamb and beef and any type of
vegetable and fruit a person might
desire.

Phone Union Board
Turns Down Offer
OF Wage Increase

Wage Increases offered by the
Chesapeake Il Potomac Telephone
Co. to the Virginia division of the
Communications Workers OF Amer
ica were rejected yesterday by the
CWA national executive board.
In a telegraph poll, the 13-mem-
Der board decided the 81 to s4 weekly
increase for operators and clerks
and the 81 to $6 weekly raise for
craft employees did not meet the
demands generally made of Bell
System companies this year.
Earlier last week two Washington
divisions of CWA and the Maryland
division turned down similar offers
mace by c. & P. Unlike the Vir-
ginia division. they rejected the Of
fers at the local level and did not
send the proposals on to the ma
tional board for final action.
Three-Year Contract.
All four negotiations were based
en- Wage-reopening clauses appear
ing in the 3-year contracts signed
BY the company and unions last
May. Since there were no agree
ments on higher wages. all the con-
tracts are subject to expiration next
May unless some settlement is
reached before then. .
Altogether, more than $4,000 en-
ployes are affected by the wage dis
cussions.
Similar stalemates were reported
elsewhere in the Nation where other
CWA divisions were bargaining. But
the word from the union was that
a strike Is not now in the picture.
Would Start at Once.
A. L. Lambdin, c. e. P. vice presi-
dent and general manager, ex-
pressed disappointment in rejection
Of the Virginia offer.
1--WE stood ready to place these
increases in effect as Of Sunday
(today)", he said. 1--WE now learn
that this agreement, reached in good
faith with the local union, has been
rejected by the CWA Executive
Committee In Washington"
Union of1icials said the executive
board turned down the proposal be-
cause 1t failed to provide adequately
for lower bracket employees. In ex-
amining Bell System proposals gen.
orally last week, Joseph A. Beirne,
CWA president, said they satisfied
portions Of the groups but that so
per cent Of the members were Of
fered from nothing to and 71a
