.AIcoa Raise Accepted ,
Union Seeks More
BY the Asseeiaied Press

PITTSBURGH. Sept. 27.-A 10
per cent wage raise offered its en-
ployes by the Aluminium Co. of
America has been accepted by the
CIO- United Steelworkers with a
promise the union will ask for
more.
In announcing acceptance of
the Alcoa offer yesterday, James
Thimmes, USW vice president,
said the union had asked the COM
pany to advance the November l
date on which wage provisions of
the current pact may be opened.
No date was suggested by the
union and there was no immedi-
ate reaction from Alcoa to the
request.
The steelworkers also forwarded
to Alcoa letter at the conclusion
of the session held yesterday to
consider the wage boost offer. The
letter said in part:
1T is OF course obvious and in
part recognized that your employees
need a substantial wage in
crease. Your wage proposal is a
step toward meeting the needs of
your employees but falls short of
actually doing so.''
Mr.. Thimmes said the Alcoa
wage boost would average about
14A cents an hour for the COM
pany's 10000 production workers
in % plants. effective October /.
Similar increases were promised
$4,000 salaried employees.
The CIO union represents about
10000 of the Alcoa workers in
nine plants. The rest are repre-
sented by seven other unions, in
cluding the AFL International
Council of Aluminium Workers,
which has indicated 1t also will
accept the offer and ask that
wage negotiations be reopened
this autumn.

viennese Reds Begin
New Disturbances in
Little Blockade
Bv the Associcted Press

VIENNA, Sept. 27.-New Com
nunist-led disturbances broke out
IN Vienna today. Communist
groups. apparently with Russian
approval, tied up streetcar traf-
flc and were reported to have cut
two rail lines into the capital.
It was the second day of such
disturbances which Allied officials
are beginning to call a little block
ade" reminiscent Of the days in
Germany before the Berlin block
ade. Vienna, like Berlin. is an
island deep inside the Soviet zone
Of occupation.
While the new disturbances were
taking place, approximately 50,-
900 workers in the Soviet-con-
trolled factories of Austria went
on strike protesting a new Aus
trian government announcement
that prices will increase along
with wages.
Police Get Russian Order.
Western authorities said the
main aim of the disturbances was
to embarrass the Western occupa-
ton powers. Austrian government
sources reported the Russians or
dered Austrian police in their zone
not to interfere in strikes and
demonstrations.
A shouting, disorderly crowd OF
some 5000 Communists jammed a
main street in the Russian sector
of the city at noon, disabling sew
.eral trucks and blocking all traf-
f1c for two hours. Shopkeepers,
fearing riots, boarded up their
windows.
The crowd attempted to march
70 the center of the city, where
yesterday they had stoned a Brit
ish hotel and held possession of
the city's main intersection, the
famed Ringstrasse in the interna-
tional zone, for almost an hour be-
fore being dispersed by police.
Streets Blocked by Autos.
Rowing crowds of striking work.
ers in the Russian sector blocked
the streets with automobiles. One
column, attempting to reach the
city from suburban Floridsdorf,
was dispersed by police.
Strikes spread as far as Graz,
q large industrial city in the Brit
tsh zone. In Linz and Steyr in
the American zone, workers
marched out of factories and
called protest meetings against the
wage-price order
The British public safety officer
IN Graz said there were crowds
OF demonstrators in the streets.
They were quite orderly and we
don't anticipate any trouble" he
added.
Rail, Road Traffic Cut.
Meanwhile, rail and road traffic
was cut near Moedling, just out
side Vienna. when Communists sat
down on the main highway to
Graz and an adjoining railway
line. A rail line leading to Baden,
Russian. army headquarters In
Austria, was not cut.
The Communists also cut local
rail traffic on d branch line SOUTH
east of st. Poelten. Both towns
are in the Russian occupation
zone.
In Vienna police said the Com
munistS were unsuccessful in at
tempts to shut down the Semmer-
ing power plant in the British
sector of the city. A band of Reds
tried to entice the workers in the
plant out on strike. The workers
locked the gates. however, and re-
fused to stop work.

County Agent
Reports Blue
Mold In County
BY CHARLES ID. RAPER
County Agent

Blue mold has made its appear
ance earlier this year than it has
in the history of producing to-
bacco in Columbus County. Sew
,ral cases of blue mold has been
reported around Whitevillc and
Fair Bluff and it would be good
idea for all tobacco growers TO
get their equipment ready for the
blue mold season. ..
Two types of materials are rec
)mmended for this year-one Is
/ spray treatment and. the other a
lust treatment. The chemicals
recommended for the 1850 blue
mold season are Fermate or Par
cate or Dithanc Z-78. Either Of
these materials will give excel:
lent control when used properly
as spray or a dust. Treatment
should be started when the plants
are about the size of u dime;
however, farmers should reimen-
Der that either of these treatments
is a preventative rather than a
cure and should begin treatment
before blue mold appears on the
beds. Whether the farmer uses
the dust or spray treatment. the
treatment should be made at least
.wice a week or oftener If the
material is washed off the plants
by rain.
In preparing the spray treat
ment-use | pound of Fermate to
D gallons OF water - level Ia
)lespoons per gallOn.'
If you use Dithane Z-78 or Par

Baxter, who played the role OF
Hubert Laurie who sued for
Olivia affections only to see her
give her heart to Dan. Their
"Limey" accent mixed with the
southern drawl was delightful.
The highliglt of the play came
when Dan, after winning the at
fections and confidence Of Mrs.

rob her of her wealth. Olivia,
who first hated him and later
loved him, suspected that he had
killed the wealthy socialite ana
hid her head in a hat box. She
protected him from the inspector
by claimin gthe hat box to be her
own, turned against him and fled

return after Mrs. Bramson was
murdered.
Discovered, Dan exonerated
Olivia from any connection in the
death of Mrs. Bramson, and prom
ised to give them good tight

Outstanding single bits of act

third act when Dan, after reao,
ing bits from the Bible, found
himself alone with Olivia who sus-
pected him of murder. acclaimed
himself to be a self made man VINO
