Three Judges 10 TEST
Gambling Tax Validity

The three judges who will form
a constitutional tribunal to hear
the test case on the validity of the
new gambling tax law were an
nounced today.
They are Judge Henry w
Edgerton of the United States
Court of Appeals, Judge Luther w
Youngdahl of District Court here
and Judge Robert N. Wilkin, re-
tired Federal jurist of the North
ern District of Ohio, specially
designated to sit in on the present
case.
The suit, which the tribunal will
hear at an as yet unspecified date
was filed by Washington Attorney
Myron Ehrlich on behalf of Hayes
L. Coombs, 40, of the 400 block
OF T street NV.
Mr.. Coombs contends that if he
answers certain questions required
in his application for a gamblers
license he will be subjecting him
self to possible criminal prosecu-
ton. This, he contends, violates
his constitutional rights.
Judge Youngdahl last week
granted the request for the specia
three-judge hearing, advantage oil
which to the defendant will be the
right to appeal directly to the
Supreme Court should the tri-
bunal's ruling be against him.

EIeventh-Hour Pact
Prevents Strike at
Blood PIasma Plant
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-An
eleventh. hour agreement on a new
union contract today prevented a
strike which would have curtailed
sharply the flow of badly needed
blood plasma to American troops
in Korea.
The strike had been scheduled
at midnight today at the West
Point (PaD plant of Sharp &c
Dohme, Inc. Agreement on terms
was reached at a conference in
Washington yesterday. and the
contract was ratified by members
of local 86, United Chemical
Workers, CLIO, here last night.
The basic issue in the dispute
was the question of union security.
Company officials said today they
agreed to the contract terms "only
because the union continued to re-
fuse to exclude blood plasma proc
essing for the armed forces from
the strike
Workers Called Back.
The drug-making firm already
had begun to cut down its staff
in preparation for a strike. but
workers who had been laid of
temporarily were called back to
work this morning at the West
Point plant, which supplies about
one-fourth of the plasma sent
to the armed forces.
Negotiators for the company
and union agreed on a new con-
tract last Friday. but the union
membership, totaling about LOO.
rejected the pact, demanding a
closed shop. Heretofore, union
membership had been totally VOL
untary.
The new contract provides for
a partially closed shop. Present
union members who remain in the
union for the next 80 days will
be required to maintain member
ship. New employees must join
the union within 80 days.
Also Got Wage Raise.
But the 300 workers at the
plant not now represented by the
CLIO will not be required to join
the union. And present union
members may resign within 80
days.
The contract also provides for a
wage increase of "A per cent.
meaning that those employees now
receiving $100 a week will get
nearly sos. Pay scales vary &C
cording to jobs.
The new contract also provides
for automatic increases on pro-
motions mad temporary transfers
to higher rated jobs
Herbert Heath, president Of the
local, said that only rs of the I'M
ion members were absent at last
nights ratification meeting and
that the vote was unanimous.
The contract, which is for one
year, contains a wage reopening
clause operative after six months.
Agreement on the terms was
reached by negotiators at Wash
ington after a continuous 16-hour
| session.

On Hot Dogs, Bologna
And Cased Sausage

Higher ceiling prices on hot
dogs, bologna and some pork
sausage will be allowed starting
Monday. the Office of Price Sta
bilization announced today. The
allowable increase will be 2 cents

OPS said it was revising rules
governing prices of fresh and
semidry sausage containing beef
such as hot dogs and bologna
in order to conform to higher
wholesale beef ceilings set in Sep
TENDER.
Cost Of Castings Rises.
The higher ceilings on pork
sausage packed in sheep castings
will be allowed because costs of

Livestock prices of both hogs
and Of low-grade cattle, which
ARE the source for the beef used
lin sausage products. are at a
seasonal low level. Utility grade
cow beef has dropped about S
cents recently, and hogs have
dropped nearly 6 cents.

Meanwhile, OPS was at work on
another order which will permit
the price of beer for home con-
sumption to advance about a cent

little more than 20 minutes and
drew applause 10 times. But for
the most part, the applause seemed
restrained, if not perfunctory.
Mr.. Truman avoided giving any
indications of his own plans for
