The proposed outlay would be

equipment for Atlantic Pact
forces.
Britain's offer to enlarge her
contributions to Western defense
came in the form of a memoran-

to an American request for such
information.
The United States had asked all
Atlantic Pact countries to state by
August 5 what they propose to
contribute to the Vests overall
defense program.
President Truman told a news
conference in Washington last
night he was very pleased with
Britain's offer. He said he hoped
the other Atlantic Pact nations

Newspaper Mai|ers Face
Injunction Suit by NLRB
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board has
gone to court seeking to stop an
Independent mailers' union from
allegedly high-pressuring New
York City newspapers into hiring
only it's members.
In Federal Court yesterday the
NLRB charged the Newspaper
and Mail Deliverers' Union with
using strike threats to gain an
illegal closed shop.
The NLRB complaint said:
ITO avoid a substantial disrup-
ton of the operations of the news
paper industry in New York City
and of the dissemination of news
to the public, to the irreparable
injury to the public interest, it is
essential the union be enjoined." 2"
Only the New York Herald
Tribune was mentioned by name,
but the complaint said the same
practices affected other New York

The Senate's action exempted
the Defense Department, Army,
Navy, Air Force, Post Office, Atom
ic Energy Commission. FBI. Coast
Guard, Secret Service, Internal
Revenue, Bureau of Customs, I'm

Veterans Administration hospital
and clinical activities.
Employees in these agencies have
to worry about, Federal
officials say. In most of them
there will be additional hirings be-
cause of the national emergency.
Among the agencies that would
be hard hit by the Senate'S 10
per cent slash are Commerce,
Justice. Labor. Treasury, Interior,
Federal Security Agency, Inter-
state Commerce, Federal Trade,
Federal Communications, National
Advisory Committee for Aeronau-
tics, Civil Service Commission
and Agriculture Department.
The bill now goes to House
Senate conference. The House
already has voted for greater per-
sonnel reductions than were voted
by the Senate.
The Senate's 10 per cent cut
isn't aimed solely at personnel,
but at general expenses. Federal
personnel officials are hoping the
House-Senate conferees adopt
something along this line, since
it would give the non-defense
agencies some leeway in trimming
other expenses to minimize some
what the personnel cuts that they
