drowned there about two years
ago while playing there with sew
eral other youngsters. A furore
about such hazards was raised at
the time, but it passed with time,

again it quieted down. Then came
the recent tragedy in San Jose,
California, where a little girl was
killed in an abandon mining pit.
All over the country, including
Dayton, a rexamination of hazards

live and work in Dayton. A few
letters from citizens, or a few ap-
pearances, before the commission,
might aid in prompting that body
to take some positive action.
Something should be done not
only because of the drowning
hazard, but as the report Of the
survey showed, dumps and pits
are a "smoke and odor nuisance

AfIee Rebukes Board
For orThreatto Withdraw
Dock Strikers Benefits
By the Associated Press

LONDON, July 20.-Britain's
Socialist regime today rebuked
the National Dock Labor Board
for threatening to withdraw con-
tract benefits from dock strikers
unless they resume work tomor-
row. He said the board had acted
without authority.
A statement from Prime Minis
ter's official residence at No. 10
Downing street said the Labor
Boards notice implies continu-
ance of the 2-year-old dock labor
scheme may be in jeopardy.
THE government thinks it right
to state they are not contem-
plating taking any step to bring
to an end the national dock labor
scheme" the statement added.
2,200 More Troops Alerted.
The Dock Labor Board is a
joint nion-employer group which
sets terms of employment on
Britain's water front.
The dock labor scheme gives the
workers a virtual closed shop,
guaranteed weekly wage whether
they work or not, weeks voca-
ton with pay and regular en-
ployment. in contrast to the old
conditions of casual labor.
THE government has gone
crazy" said Lord Ammon, chair
man of the Book Board. when ad-
vised of the government move.
He told reporters copies of the
notice for the dockers to end the
stopages are being mailed to all
of the strikers despite the govern
ment disapproval.
The government has alerted
II 200 more servicemen for work on
the docks tomorrow. This will
raise to 9,285 the number of men
from the armed forces working on
the strike-bound wharves.
The Labor Ministry said 15.441
dockers are idle, 70 ships are i'm
lmobilized and seven are being un-
loaded with inadequate crews:
l8, 8,849 dockers are still at work on
ships, while troops are working on
10 other ships.

Foes Of Pact Reduce
Scope Of Proposal
For No-Arms Pledge
By ]. A. O'LeoN

Opponents of the North Atlantic
defense pact tried today to get
more votes for reservation
against arming Western Europe
by narrowing the scope OF their
proposal. Backers of the treaty
are still confident. however. that
when the roll Is called tomorrow
the treaty will be ratified without
strings attached.
The latest maneuver Of the op-
position will be to ask the Senate
to tie the no-arms pledge only to
Article 3 of the treaty. This is
the section in which the United
States, Canada and 10 Western
European nations promise to work
together from now on to develop
the collective capacity to resist
attack by any aggressor.
Earlier versions of the proposed
reservations referred either to the
treaty as a whole. or at least to
several portions. The alterations
have not changed the basic issue,
however. .=.s 3
Stimson Urges Adoption.
While small group Of Repub-
lican Senators worked on reserva-
tions, another prominent Repub-
lican, Henry L.. Stimson. appealed
to the Senate to adopt the treaty
without change. Mr.. Stimson, who
was Herbert Hoover's Secretary of
State and Franklin D. Roosevelt S
Secretary of War. wrote:
"If this treaty is beaten, or if its
great meaning is befogged by
reservations seeming to proceed
from fear, we shall not soon be
able to repair the damage"
Minority Leader Wherry late
yesterday made public one of the
new reservations, limited to Article
3. Senators Taft. of Ohio. and
Watkins, of Utah, Republicans
also had new amendment along
the same general lines.
Senator Wherry said he rewrote
his proposal because some Sena-
tors feared his original draft
might have gone further than he
intended by interfering with &C.
ton by this Government at the
time of an attack.
No Strings in Arms Plan.
Senator Wherry continued tt
insist that his amendment to the
resolution of ratification would moi
prevent Congress from adopting
an arms program now or at any
time in the future. 1t would
eliminate any moral or legal
obligation to furnish arms. but
leave Congress free to vote the
arms program up or down on its
merits when presented, he argued
Supporters of the treaty have
agreed from the start that Sena-
tors who vote for the treaty will
be free to pass independent judg-
ment on each arms proposal as II
comes along. They will continue
to resist reservations. however, or

would deprive the treaty of much
