Cangster Anastasia Breaks Strike At Brooklyn Base

NEW YORK, (P) - Striking longshoremen returned to work today at Brooklyn's huge army base, after underworld figure An thony Anastasia led an imported crew of workers through the gates.
 The back-to-work move at the army base, one of the nations major shipping centers for Korea and other military outposts, came as the government considered bringing in troops to handle car goes.
 Anastasia, accused before the Senate Crime Committee of lead ing hired "goons and thugs" to break another strike, showed up at the base this morning with several truckloads of men.
 AS the men followed h i'm through the gates, some 25O strlk- ing Stevedores outside began mill ing about restlessly. One of them climbed atop car, and yelled at the throng:
 Lets go in and get those other guys out"
 Then, in a body, the stevedores streamed onto the piers. As they shaped up for work, Anastasia and his followers beat a nasty re- treat.

Helicopter Blows" Two Children To Safety In San Francisco Bay

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, (P - A Coast Guard helicopter last night used it's rotor blades to blow to safety two children stranded on a raft in San Francisco Bay.
 On the raft were 13-year-old Sharon Lee Bjerke and 9-year-old David Priellip.
 A Coast Guard boat could not come close enough to the raft be- cause of shallow water. And the helicopter pilot was afraid to de- scend and pick up the children for fear of upsetting the raft.
 So the pilot approached the raft from the open bay side, using the air push from it's rotor to blow the raft a quarter-mile and onto mudflats.

British Troops
 Quell Rioting In Suez Canal Zone

CAIRO, (P) )- Ismailia on the Suez Canal area was an armed camp bristling with machine guns and tanks today, as both British and Egyptians rushed reinforce mentS there. Britain faced new trouble in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
 One leader of the powerful pro- Egyptian Sudanese Ashigga party called upon the people of Sudan for a campaign of disobedience to British authorities there in the campaign to drive the Britons out of the land over which Egypt now has proclaimed King Karouk the sole monarch.
 In the Suez Canal area, the British reported that the Lanca- shire FuSilierS, military and RAF' forces and the Egyptian police were in control of the situation after the city of 5O,O0O was rocked by violent rioting yesterday.
 British parachute troops, $500 strong, were taking off from Mi costa, Cyprus, only 300 miles away, to reinforce the British in the Canal Zone, where at least seven and possibly 12 persons were killed in yesterdays vio- lence.
 Egyptian officials said six Brit ish army trucks were burned or otherwise destroyed by mobs in the violence.

Allied 1nfantrymen Within Rifle Range Kumsong Bastion

US. 9TH ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS, Korea, P)-Allied infan- trymen drove to within rifle range of Kumsong on the central front today.
 Chinese defenders retreated slowly before the advancing US. 24th Division and the South Ko- rean Sixth Division.
 Whether this was general along the entire 22-mile central sector remained to be seen. It was still possible for the Reds to make a stand south of Kumsong.
 More than 40 hills have been captured in the five-day advance on Kumsong. Three United Ma tions divisions have advanced seven miles along a 22-mile front. Allied artillery moved up to strat- egic peaks where it could blast Kumsong, the main communist bastion on the central front.
 To the east, the BOX Eighth Di- vision drove against 1000 to 5000 foot ridges in an effort to keep pace with the central push.

Taft's Candidacy Called ''Too Early'' By Ike's Backers

WASHINGTON, (P- Senator Robert A. Taft'S non-surprise an- nouncement that he wants the 1852 Republican presidential nom ination drew a "too early" re- action today from packers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 But there also was a feeling in the Ike for President camp that the general should announce his availability soon-provided he announces 1t at all-lest Taft get too long a head start in the race for national convention delegates.
 Taft yesterday became the first presidential candidate in either major party, announcing his in- tentionS a full nine months ahead of the COP nominating conven- ton in Chicago.
 The Ohio Senate followed through by attacking the Tru- man administration health pro- gram and spending policies, thus giving a foretaste of the campaign he is likely to wage.
 Speaking to the American Den tai Association convention here last night, the Senator proposed creation of a military civilian commission to determine "just what is the economic capacity" of the nation to cope with defense spending.

NEW YORK.-Here's how
the job pattern shapes up for
college men and women this

It's good-very good-if!

point up the same franctic
search for employees that took
place during World War II.
The picture for the June
graduate with Reserve officer
status or subject to draft is not
so good. True, large employers
are interviewing them. They're
inviting men in the top 10 per
cent Of the class to join their
organizations training pro-
grams, even If only for a two
month period.
Hedge on Future Jobs
In some cases they've prom
ised to hold places for them
when they are discharged. But
even here most of them hedge.
They will hold the jobs provided
business conditions warrant do
ing so.
"Such offers. we feel, are not
bona fide," asserts Samuel H.
Beach, director Of placement at
Columbia.
Those below the top 10 per
cent stand very little chance of
getting a job. Small business
organizations in general are not
considering men who expect to
be called to military duty, place
ment officers agree.

titudes of the graduates. As

Some Plan Ahead
On the other hand, Pennsyl-
vania reports "the attitude has
been to learn all that can be
learned now about the COM
panies, the characteristics Of
job opportunities. the tech
niques Of interviewing and the
strategy of job finding. Under
lying it all is the feeling that
time spent now will be time

"At Columbia" says Mr..
Beach, we've worked hard and
have succeeded in convincing
the men they should look for
jobs now despite their draft
status"
Bradley reports a healthy
attitude in general" At Har-
ward many graduates have
adopted "long-range planning
beyond their stint in uniform"
The same attitude prevails at
Illinois and Ohio State.
Graduates seeking employ
ment in draft-deferred jobs,
says Mr.. Beach, shouldn't
count on this too much, even
should they get such jobs.
Draft boards are tough and
despite promises of company
officials, few will go to bat for
junior employees. They're saw
ing their ammunition for the
time when the going gets real
tough and they'll have to ight
hard to retain key men"
Despite these conditions, the
demand for the services of
graduates is nearly double last
year at Johns Hopkins, Ohio
State, Dartmouth and NYU.
