Arlington Board Due
To Approve Two-Way
Fire, Ambulance Radio

Appropriation OF III ,l4U 10 IN
stall two-way radios on q trial
basis in Arlington County fire and
ambulance equipment probably
will be approved by the County
Board at its next meeting. board
members indicated at their meet
ing yesterday.
The money would provide for
mobile two way units on the
county ambulance and on ladder
truck. Both vehicles are station
ed at Clarendon.
John Paul Jones. president Of
the Arlington County Volunteer
Firemen's Association, submitted
a report urging installation Of
mobile units in IL county fire and
ambulance vehicles and establish
ment Of a separate fire and am
bulance service transmitter. He
estimated the equipment and man
power needed to operate the radios
would cost $l5.690 the first year.
Part of the initial cost would be
a $1,000 item for salaries for
three dispatchers, he said.
To Study Matter Wednesday.
The board will consider the
matter further in a conference
| Wednesday night.
/ II the Sl.140 appropriation is
approved, the ambulance and
ladder truck will send and receive
messages on the county police
frequency. But board members
pointed to Federal Communica-
tions Commission ruling requiring
police and fire radio transmission
to be divorced" by July 1. 1850
1t was believed separate fire and
ambulance transnitter would be
set UP and the remaining mobile
units added before the deadline
if the service is successful.
Representatives of the General
Outdoor Advertising Co.. which
owns 50 billboards in the county,
protested proposed amendment to
the business license ordinance
which would fix a $3.50 license fee
for each outdoor sign.
Substitute Amendment.
The board withdrew the amend
ment and adopted a substitute
providing for 500 annual charge
for the first four signs erected and
a IS fee for each additional sign.
The board appropriated $1.736
as it's share of the cost of a study
by the League of Virginia Num-
cipalities of proposed rate in
crease by the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. of Virginia.
The league opposes the increase.
The board also asked the State
Department of Correction to ap-
prove plans for the new county
| Jail.

"The single spot story falls to

Developments of the present

pared for the annual spring meet
ing of the Chesapeake Association
Of the Associated Press.
Mr.. Graham also said the power
Of the atom and the menace Of
communism are almost equalled
by "the power and the menace Of
hysterical public fears"
1T stands to the credit Of most
of our newspapers that they have
not tried to play upon those
fears" he said.
Robert Buneile. a general execu-
tive Of the Associated Press. also
addressed the meeting attended
by representatives of 50 news
papers in Maryland. Delaware and
the District Of Columbia.
He told the group that news
papermen who yield to special In

death warrants.
THE special pressures that are
sometimes--and ] am afraid In

direction Of an unthinking demand

The editor who yields TO these
pressures is writing the death

Hawaii Awaits Return
OF Bridges 10 Reopen
Strike Peace Parleys
BY fhs Assoeioisd Press

dONOAOLO, AuS. G1'-n Aoo
eral government effort to reopen
peace talks in the l16-day Hawaii
waterfront strike marked time to-
day awaiting the return of Harry
Bridges.
The CIO longshore boss had
been expected from San Francisco
by air this morning
Leaders Of his striking Interna-
tional Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union here said they
would not meet with Federal
Mediator George Hillenbrandt un-
til Bridges arrives. probably to-
morrow.
Mr.. Hillenbrand met with repre-
sentatives Of the seven struck
stevedoring firms yesterday. He is
attempting to find a new basis for
direct union-employer negotiations
as suggested by Cyrus S. Ching,
director of the United States Con-
ciliation Service.
Talks Collapsed Friday.
Mr.. Ching also invited both sides
to 60 to Washington or New YorH
where he would mediate If any
peace effort here fails. The last
negotiation effort here collapsed
Friday.
An employer spokesman said
after meeting with Mr.. Hillen-
brand that the companies decision
would not be made until after
Bridges talked with the mediator.
The union took a dim view of
the prospects. 1t radioed Mr..
Ching:
1.-THE possibility of an agree
ment through the efforts of Com
missioner Hillenbrand is little
short Of hopeless as his unsuccess-
full efforts during the past four
months demonstrate.
The strike began May l for a
boost of 81 cents in the $1.40 hour
" longshore wage.
Other Developments.
Meanwhile there were these de-
velopments:
/. The union offered to allow
refrigerated meat. butter and eggs
to be loaded on the Matson
freighter Hawaiian Refiner at San
Francisco. 1t stipulated, however,
that the ship be designated a food
relief ship. The ILWU has been
picketing the ship, charging Mat
son with trying to break the strike
by attempting to load general
cargo. The Hawaii Restaurant and
Dispensers Association has said
the refrigerated cargo was sorely
needed, but the Governors Food
Committee said it had no request
for a relief ship.
|, 2. In Federal court the union
argued for a restraining order toI
prevent Government stevedoring
operations under the Territory's
new dock seizure law. Harriet
Houslog, union attorney, contended
the strike has not caused public
emergency as Gov. Ingram M.
Stainback proclaimed in invok-
ing the law. She argued further
that the law violates the Taft
Hartley Act and intrudes on the
preserves Of Congress.
Unloading Starts, Today.
8. Habor Manager Ben F. Rush
said the Governments first major
unloading attempt on MatsonI
freighters would start today. Gov
ernment stevedores. he said, will
use dockside power on two ships.
the Hawaiian Retailer and Hawai-
ian Wholesaler. Some crewmen
Of both ships had walked of pre-
viously when Matson, largest
Hawaii-mainland carrier. ordered
the ships moved from behind
nWU picket lines.
4. Capt. c. F. May, national
president of the AFL Masters,
Mates and Pilots, said his union
will continue to sail ships to and
from Hawaii so members will notl
violate their contracts or jeopar-
die their licenses.

Just in case you may have missed the article in the current Readers Digest warning house. wives and mothers about the dan ger in handling of worn out fluor- escent light bulbs, 1 want to repeat the warning.
 It seems that electricians and radio men have been aware of the danger ever since the bulbs were first used, but there is no warning of any kind on the wrapping, or instructions as to the handling and disposal of worn out bulbs. Army and Navy men are protected by strict rules and regulations, but as it is only in recent years that the fluoreScent bulb has been used to any great extent in homes, the housewife has been allowed to han dle this very dangerous item with out instructions.
 Fluorescent lamps contain a gas composed largely of beryllium, of

which very little is known as to the full extent of it's powers. The article mentioned goes into detail on two cases of children who re- ceived slight cuts from the frag- ments of broken bulbs and whose wounds refused to heal.
 It also warns that when a bulb is broken, a person should leave the room immediately for several minutes in order to allow the gas to dissipate. The fragments then should be covered with water and swept into dustpan without being touched by the bare hands.
 In New York there is a special procedure for disposing of used broken bulbs. They must be se- curely wrapped and plainly labeled then set aside from other trash to avoid danger to the men han ding them.
 Fluorescent lights are less eX- pensive to operate, and furnish a brighter light than the incandes- cent bulbs and are being more widely used than ever before. There is no reason why we should not continue to use them. but re- member always to keep them out of reach of children and to dispose

of them properly.
 Research is underway to elimin- ate the dangerous element, but there are many thousands of the old type in use or stock, so it will be necessary to observe care in handling for some years to come.
 This information was complete surprise to me, and I use several of the lamps in my home. I have never heard it discussed by other homemakers and thought it q timely topic as winter approaches and we use more lights.

kind enough to give me start on
the right track? x.
Answer: Perhaps the wife who
is wise to the ways Of men can
never recapture the faith that she
has lost, but she can look two facts
in the eye. One is that the reason
most husbands lie to their wives
is that their wives drive them to it
When a husband knows that if he
tells his wife the truth about
where he is going or what he is
going to do, or even about some
innocent thing that her jealousy
will distort into a crime. he is 60
ing to save himself by lying.
The other fact is that it is futile
to watch a man. Somewhere the
espionage system always breaks
down. No woman is clever enough
to keep tab on her husbands every
movement and prevent his deceiv-
ing her If he wants to.
So in the end you have to trust
