LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. D.
"Jebb-propelled" is the word
United Nations wits coined yester-
day for Security Council pro-
ceedings under the presidency
of Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb.
Sir Gladwyn started out to liven
up the inherent in the word by
pushing through adoption of the
agenda without argument and
rushing Korean Ambassador DR..
John Chang to the Council table
before Russia's Jacob A. Malik
could object. ~
"They did everything but put
the spiked shoes on Chang to get
him up there in a hurry" one
diplomat said.
Then the pace slowed as Mr..
Malik started long wrangle-
continued from last month-try-
ing to get a North Korean invited,
too.
Television cameras picked up
Sir Gladwin, who had heard all
this before, reading fan mail as
the arguments went on.
A telegram from Fanita Ewing
Eberhardt of Holmdel, N. j., said
Congratulations and good
health on being president
America should decorate you with
the unusual letter a." You had
a glib tongue when you came to
our defense and you certainly
gave Il" to Malik. Love and
kisses and remember I'll be listen
ing to every clipped word you
drop"
Margaret Curral O'Connor OF
Schenectady, N. Y. wired:
Congratulations becoming big
gest man in United Nations. Open
today with prayers"
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Swartsel
and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert F. Young
wired from Dayton, Ohio.
"A salute to your fortnight
speech today. Carry on"

Anti-Aircraft Troops,
Guns 10 Protect D. T..
In Exercise Metro

Details of a training maneuver
to ring Washington with anti
aircraft guns were revealed late
yesterday at the Pentagon.
The field test has been dubbed
Exercise Metro" About 1000
troops Of the 35th Antiaircraft
Artillery Brigade will move into
the city and its environs from
Fort Meade on September IL for
a fortnight of realistic drill.
One battalion. equipped with
120-millimeter guns. and a sec
ond., armed with COS, will set UP
their big weapons on eight un-
announced sites on the outskirts
of Washington. About 80 guns
will be put in position.
Meanwhile. two battalions will
move into gun positions in the
city, although their lighter-cali-
ber automatic weapons will be
simulated. owing to the difficulty
of moving them and setting them
up in the midtown area.
The regulars will set up 10
mobile radar scanning stations
along a circle outside the heavy
guns in the suburbs. and 16 WIS.,
ual observation posts are to be
established in the area.
Surprise" Raids by Jets.
During the field maneuyer,

Squadron of B-45 four-engined
Jet bombers from Langley Air
Force Base. Va. Up to three planes
at time will make the ap-
proaches to Washington from .di-
rections unknown to the de-
tenders.
Col. Pierre B. benson, COM
mander OF the brigade, said the
operations center for co-ordinat-
ing the fire power of the outfit
viii. be set up at Fort McNair
The function of the center will
be to collect, evaluate and distrib-
ute intelligence of enemy activ-
ity and to direct the fire of
ground gunners. The firing, /"
however. will be simulated.
Radar spotting and sighting has
virtually eliminated the search
lights of World War II from anti
aircraft defenses against high
speed and high-altitude attacks
from the air, it was explained.
The maneuver in the Washing
ton area will be preceded by a
week of intensive training at the
or'gade's base on Fort Meade, in
nearby Maryland.
Planned Last Spring.
Washington was selected for
the exercise as typical city for
which anti-aircraft protection
would be required in time of emer-
gcncy. While Pentagon spokes-
men emphasized that the exer-
else was planned as early as last
spring, there were indications that
increasing world tension expe-
dited the plans.
Both the anti-aircraft outfit
and the Military District of Wash
ington are expected to learn more
about which sites must be leased,
wfich routes are the best for
neavy equipment. which CONNER
cal communications are avail
abie to supplement field equip
ment and the amount of ammu-
milton and supplies required.

Florida Keys as Two

BY the Assoeiofed Press

MIAMI. Fla, Sept. 2.-Squalls

up in the Florida Keys today by
a hurricane that sprang up un-
expectedly in the Caribbean Sea
about 200 miles southwest of
Havana, Cuba. Southeast storm

While the Caribbean storm
tossed gale winds over wide

Grady Norton, chief storm fore
caster in the Miami Weather Bu-
reau, said a high pressure system
was building up rather fast be-
tween the Atlantic storm and a
third hurricane centered about
250 miles east of Bermuda. The
high pressure caused the Ber-
n1uda storm to move off to the
north and posed a block for a
possible northward turn of the
Virgin Island hurricane.
Strong Winds on Keys.
This development increased the
possibility that the Virgin Island
hurricane may continue it's slow

S4.5 Billion Tax Boost
Voted by Senate and
Sent 10 Conference
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Senate approval showed a $4,-
508, 100000 tax boosting bill well
on its way to final enactment
today. but it apparently is only
the forerunner of an even deeper
dig next January into taxpayers
pocketbooks.
The Senate passed the stop-gar
money raising bill by voice vote
last night, after a 10-hour ses-
sion Of clubbing down most of q
long series Of amendments.
The bill now must be cleared
through a Senate House confer
ence but that may not take place
for 10 days because of a long
Labor Day vacation in the House
The bills sponsors had to give
some ground. They agreed to
write in a promise to clap an
excess profits tax on corporations
next January and make it effec-
tive back either to October l or
July /, 1850.
This was a substitute for a pro-
posal by Senators O'Mahoney
Democrat, Of Wyoming and Con-
nally. Democrat, of Texas for an
Immediate excess profits levy.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee, who piloted
the big bill through a sometimes
stormy Senate. told reporters il
will have to wait now until Sep.
tamber IL.
He said members Of the House
Ways and Means Committee won't
he back in Washington from a
Labor Day recess until then tc
meet with Senators to work out 9
compromise. When the House
passed the bill weeks ago, before
the Korean war. 1t was a tax-re.
ducing measure.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
said the conference will delay q
congressional vacation until after
September IL.
Senator George said the Senate
approved bill will be only the first
bite on taxpayers in an effort tt
keep the rising costs of rearmine
as far as possible on a pay-as-you-
go basis.
Il expect the President will ask
for ST billion to $40 billion more
in taxes by January, or possibly
before" Senator George said.
This would put a tax burden
on most citizens heavier than
they carried in World War II,
when the outlays were met by
heavy Government borrowings, as
well as by taxes.
AS the bill passed the Senate,
it would hike individual income
taxes by about 50 billion a year.
1t would add 81 billion in cor
poration taxes and pick up more
millions by plugging loopholes in
the tax laws.
For individuals, the first effects
of the new measure-if it gets
final approval of Congress-would
be an increase in withholding
levies on wages and salaries. They
would jump from the present Is
per cent to 18 per cent on Oc-
tober /. If the measure becomes
law in time.
For GIs in combat zones. the
bill would grant a complete ex-
emption on their service pay.
Their officers would draw 5000 a
month pay tax-free, but would
pay taxes on the rest.

Special U. n. Session
Asked by U. 5. 10 Act
On Bombing Charges
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 2.-Ths
United States sought today to
have special Security Council
meeting called early next week to
order an inquiry into Red China's
charges that American planes
bombed Manchuria. g..
The move followed the speed-up
program of the council under its
new president. Britain's Sir Glad
wyn Jebb. who took over the Job
for September yesterday.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik. who
had the post in August and
blocked Council action on Korea
for the whole month, tried to slow
up the Council from his delegate
seat and partially succeeded.
The British delegate managed
to get Ambassador John M. Chang
of the Republic of South Korea
seat at the Council table before
Mr.. Malik could object. When
Mr.. Malik did object. the Council
voted him down, 9 to /.
Debates Delay Action.
Yesterdays long debates, how
ever, kept the United States from
introducing a resolution calliny
for a two-man inquiry commits
sion, composed of representa-
tives of Sweden and India, to look
into the charges that American
planes dropped bombs and killed
Chinese north of the Korean bor-
der in Manchuria.
Both those countries have dip
lomatic representatives in Peiping.
Warren Austin, chief American
delegate, who told the Council
Thursday he had reports that one
American fighter plane may mis-
takenly have bombed north Of the
border, let it be known he wanted
the Council to act quickly with
an on-the-spot inquiry of the
charges.
Council Takes Recess.
The Council took a weekend
recess that will continue over
Labor Day. Its next regular meet
ing is pm. Tuesday.
Mr.. Austin wants a special meet
ing to be held as quickly after that
as possible.
! Further discussion Of the Ko-
rean conflict and condemnation
of North Koreas tWo-months
long defiance of U. N. cease-fire
and withdrawal orders is first on
Tuesdays schedule.
The Council got that far when
the British delegate told Chang
to move from a spectator row
where he had sat at meetings
since July 81. to a seat at the
table.
Refused to Seat Chang.
j Mr.. Malik had always refused
to seat Chang, charging a Council
decision June 81 to do so was il
legal because Mr.. Malik had not
been there. Beaten on his objec-
ton to the Briton's move, Mr..
Malik tried to get the Council
again to invite the North Koreans.
He was beaten on that proposal.

him. Egypt did not vote.
Yesterdays meeting was signifi-
cant for the fact that Mr.. Malik
ridiculed legal reasoning of Sir
Bengal N. Rau, the Indian dele
gate, who said the North Koreans
must not be invited until they end
their fighting and pull back to
the 38th parallel they invaded
/ Through most of August, Mr..
Malik's propaganda blasts were
for the benefit of the Far East and
India's millions. But he dropped

10000 CI0 Workers
Prepare for Strike
Against GE tuesday
BY the Asseeioisd Press


NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The
huge General Electric Co., already
struck at several Eastern plants,
faces a coast-to-coast walkout
Tuesday by the largest of It's war
ring unions.
Nearly $4,000 of the union
members are already out in New
York and Massachusetts-3,000 of
them from a jet aircraft engine
plant.
Another $4,000 are set to walk
off their jobs in three days, in
cludlng 400 at the atomic energy
plant that GE runs for the Gov
eminent at Schenectady, N. Y.
More Pay, Pensions Demanded.
The new strike was called yes
terday by the CIO- international
Union of Electrical Workers for
more pay and pensions. Last
minute concessions by both sides
failed to close the bargaining gap.
The Tue has nearly $4,000
members in 81 GE plants in 25
cities. with a dominant member
ship in 80 of the factories.
The CIO union hopes for sup
port from the $4,000 members of
its bitter rival. the left-wing In
dependent Union of Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers of
America, and from the other
$4,000 union and non-union GE
employees.
UE Is Nom -COmmittal.
The UE. expelled from the CIO
several months ago for left-wing
leanings, was n-committal
about strike support and said only
that its own negotiations with GE
"were progressing"
James B. Carey, the IUE's ad-
ninistrative chairman, said the.
union is willing to meet with the
company anywhere and at any
time" to talk terms.
He said the strike call could
have been averted if General
Electric had agreed to pay the
workers 2 per cent pension con-
tribution. All other issues were
tentatively settled earlier this
week. he added.
In a last-minute concession yes
terday, the company offered tol
double per cent raise it granted
July l. The 3 per cent amounted
to about 5 cents an hour.
New Union Demands.
Mr.. Carey, who said all pre-
strike terms were off, said the
TUE is now demanding:
/. Ten cents an hour over the
present rate. "a total of Is cents
an hour including the July Il
raise.)
2. Reinstatement of a cost-of-
living bonus.
8. Protit-sharing for production
workers wherever they were re-
moved in 1947.
4. Three-week vacations after
10 years instead of after 20.
S. Two new holidays, bringing
the total to eight.
6. Pay the employees 2 per cent
pension contribution.
Strikes Began Wednesday.
The preliminary strikes began
Wednesday in Massachusetts, at
Lynn and Everett. and spead
quickly to the plant at Syracuse,
N. Y.
The walkouts cut production of |
military jet engines, aircraft in
struments, television tubes and
other equipment, some classified
for military use.
The company said its pay offer
was in line with recent cost in
creases and with raises granted
by Chrysler and General Motors.
Lemuel B. Boulware. vice presi-
dent in charge of GEES employe
relations, ridiculed the IUE strike
call yesterday and said that at
