By the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, April 8.-Fac-
tional bitterness in Joseph Cur
rams C1O National Maritime
Union yesterday exploded into new
violence that landed three men
in hospitals and nine in Jail.
It was the latest in a series of
open fights verging on riots that
have rocked the MINUS national
headquarters here since Mr.. Cur
ran, the union president, launched
a left-wing purge last fall.
Police said two of the injured
men - both anti-Curran - were

beaten unconscious by a group
of Curran stalwarts who battered
down the door.
Two Distribute Leaflets.
The two, Charles Keith. SO. a
deposed port patrolman, and
Morris Weiner, "a, a Brooklyn
seaman, had been distributing
anti Curran leaflets near the hir-
ing hall.
The leaflets pertained to the
unions current national election.
Onlookers said the Curran group
numbered about 80 at the start of
the chase. Mr.. Keith and Mr..
Weiner leaped into the store and
pulled the door shut. Mr.. Keith
dived for a telephone booth to call
police for help. He just managed
to complete the call when their
Iassailants, after smashing down
the door, were on them.
Two Go Down.
Police said pop bottles were
swung in the melee. a candy show
case was smashed, and Mr.. Keith
and Mr.. Weiner went down.
Patrolman Joseph Savino came
running up from the outside just
as eight of the men emerged from
the store.
He pulled his gun and held the
men until five partol cars and two
squad cars with detectives raced
up in response to Mr.. Keith's call.
Mr.. Keith and Mr.. Weiner were
treated at st. Vincent's Hospital
and sent home.

Pressmen Threaten
Contempt Action for
Chartering New Local

A Washington local of the AFL
International Printing Pressmen's
Union threatened court action
again today against the inter-
national.
Spokesman for Local No. said
they would petition District Court
for a contempt action against the
international for chartering a new
loci here. 1t was the latest round
in the year -old battle between the
local and the parent union.
Local / represents about 1000
pressmen employed by the Gov
ernment and in commercial shops.
Last year it initiated Investigation
of charges that the late George L..
Berry, longtime president of the
international, had misused union
funds. The charges were subject
of congressional investigation.
The international retaliated by
reyoking the locals charter and
setting UP another local with
jurisdiction over the pressmen.
On March Judge Matthew F..
Mcclure enjoined the parent
Union permanently from revoking
the charter and giving jurisdiction
to the new local-No. Ia.
Several days ago, according to
the spokesmen for No. l, the in
ternational set up still another
local here-No. 351-giving it
jurisdiction over No. Is CONNER
cial shop pressmen. The old local
contends that the action is a vio-
lation of Judge McGuire's injunc-
ton and said it would seek con-
tempt action, probably today.
Some of the 260 commercial
pressmen in No. l, claiming they
were not properly represented by
the local. had asked the parent
union to give them a separate
charter.
Officials of No. said they also
were petitioning the National La
Dor Relations Board for an elec-
tion among the commercial press
men to determine which local
should represent them.
No. has been negotiating with
the Graphic Arts Association for
new contract for the CONNER
cial preSsmen. The old agreement
expired February II.

|ECA Praises Germany
For Dramatic Strides
Under Marshall Plan
BY the Asseeioted Press

The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration praised Western Ger
many today for rapid and dra-
matte" strides toward recovery
under the Marshall Plan.
The war-devastated country has
made a phenomenal comeback,
ECA said. "in the face of serious
and continuing political difficult
ties" and other obstacles.
In report on Germany's
progress during the first two years
Of the Marshall Plan, the ECA
underScored the Importance Of
the vast German industrial poten-
tial to general European recovery.
Production in the West German
republic generally has doubled, -
it said. From the "very low lev
els" which existed in the spring of
l948 when the foreign-aid pro-
gram was launched.
Steel Output Doubled.
"Steel output has doubled and
motor vehicle production has in
creased more than 400 per cent, "
the report said. Much has been
done to relieve the major indus
trial bottlenecks which had been
retarding recovery"
But bright as the picture is. the
agency said Western Germany
still is confronted with difficulties.
It cited unemployment as an ex-
ample.
About 2 million persons are
unemployed now in the republic
and about 100000 are unemployed
in Western Berlin" ECA said.
Various measures are being TAX
en- to combat unemployment but
the situation is still potentially
dangerous"
But the survey said both indus
trial and agricultural output have
rebounded.
Good Crop Weather.
Helped by two years of good
crop weather. agricultural produc-
ton has made substantial prog
ress," the report declared. Foods:
with the exception of sugar, have
come off the ration list"
ECA went on to describe the
effects of mounting German in
dustrial production on general re-
covery. Said the report:
"A large increase in exports has
resulted from improved produc-
ton. A large part of the increase
went to other Marshall Plan coun-
tries and thus represented an i'm
portant contribution by Germany
to the general European recovery
program"
To speed still further the prog
ress of German rehabilitation,
ECA said it has recommended
several measures including: A
revision of the republics tax
structure to encourage private
investments and increase Govern
ment revenue; a large construc-
ton program for new housing and
other developments; and renewed
attempts to close the country S
dollar gap.
The recovery agency said a total
of about $720 million in Marshall
Plan funds will be spent in
Western Germany during the
fiscal year ending June 80.

 In response to questions, Nc Grath said another possible strike stopping move, other than seizure would be to seek a court order against a walkout. But he empha- sized that he was speaking only of possibilities.
 Other administration officials, unquotable by name, said there was little prospect of an injunc- ton attempt unless the workers refused to stay on the job under government operation.
 While the Cabinet was in ses- sion, railroad trainmen and con- ductors sent to the White House a denial that they had broken any pledge when they called strike for next Monday.
