Hours Cut for Some

gether by Federal Cancellation
Commissioner James A. Holden.

ference room at 5 am, with q 10
per cent blanket pay increase for

such as bellmen. elevator opera
tors. maids and housemen, will
continue a 48-hour week but only

formula is subject to Wage Stabil-
ization Board approval.
Bar Midnight Strike.
The unions, voting a strike
deadline for midnight last night.
had asked for a 40-hour work
week for the present 48-hour pay.

such a demand was tantamount
to a 20 per cent wage boost.
Only a few minutes before
working contracts expired at mid
night-pre arranged signal for the
strike-Attorney Samuel Levine
and union representatives ac-
ceeded to Commissioner Holden's
plea for time and further dis
cussionS.
In the 81 hotels involved, Of

erations to a strike bound sched-
ule. They went through a full

Cabinet Concerned
AT Scattered Areas
OF Unemployment
Jobs at ALL Time High,
But Coal and Textile
Towns Feel Pinch

Scattered areas of unemploy-
ment are causing the administra-
tion some concern, it was disclosed
today when a cabinet meeting
which lasted more than an hour
was devoted largely to a discus
sion of the problem.
Cabinet officers leaving the
meeting said that President Tru-
man and Charles e. Wilson, de-
fenSe mobi1izer, were concerned
|over the situation and Secretary
OF Labor Maurice Tobin, who de-
tailed conditions, told reporters
later that he thinks "the future
areas"
Coal and textile towns figure
largely in-the Labor Department
picture. While Cumberland. Md.
was not included in the key list
OF towns where there is d Sub
stantial labor surplus" according
to Secretary Tobin. "it also is
feeling the pinch"
Jobs at All Time Peak.
Mr.. Tobin stressed, however,
that despite the bad spots en-
ployment now is at an all-time
peak of 62.5 million persons. as
compared with 81 million which
was the top in World War II.
Out of 166 national labor mar
kets. the following we're listed as
the weak spots now:
New York City, Providence,
r. l.; Lowell. Lawrence and Brock
ton, Mass: Wilkes-Barre, Scran-
ton and Hazleton, Pa; st. Peters
burg and Tampa, Fla; Baton

Tourists to Aid Florida.
The situation in the Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts towns,
Secretary Tobin told reporters,
represents a falling off of coal,
textiles and shoes.
The textile slump also has hit
Providence, and, according to the
Labor Secretary, Cumberland's S
trouble is due to a drop in coal
sales. Secretary Tobin said that
the winter tourist trade should
pick up the slack in Florida.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 21.-Police
and Federal agents turned ur
$4,000 worth of marijuana here
and at Cumberland, Md, today
in one of the largest blows ever
struck at the narcotic trade.
The trap was sprung in Balti-

No charges were placed against

tin, chief of the Federal Narcotics
Bureau in Baltimore, said Fed
eral charge will be placed against
Robert Brant, the Cumberland
man.
Cumberland police went to his
home in the railroad section on
the south side of Cumberland and
seized an estimated Is to SO
pounds of marijuana they found

TWelve-and-a-half pounds OF
refined marijuana was confiscated
in the Baltimore trap. Narcotics

fire and warplanes strafed and
bombed the Reds.
At least SO Reds were killed by
artillery. Pilots were reluctant to
estimate Communist casualties
from the air strikes, but they re-
ported 80 to 80 per cent coverage
|of the area they hit.
The fake offer was delivered by
one North Korean soldier who
walked into U. N. lines north of
Yanggu at S am. He said his
battalion wanted to surrender.
Told to Leave Weapons Behind.
He was sent back to tell the
others they could come over to
Allied lines unharmed if they fol-
lowed the main supply route south.
They were to leave their weapons
behind.
At 10 am. $50 Red infantryment
began moving south on the desig-
mated road. Another SO started a
little later. From the air, all ap-
peared to be unarmed.
U. N. troops watched warily.
Allied artillery tracked them with
out firing. Observers watched
from a hill and airplanes circled
overhead.
Don't let this be a Trojan
horse" one Allied officer warned
his men.
When the Reds reached point
near the Allied lines, they turned
off the road and started up a
trail leading toward a mountain
ridge held by U. N. infantry. This
was a clear violation of their
orders-they had been told to
stay on the road all the way.
Reds Fire on Allied Patrol.
AS the Reds hit the trail, all the
guns of one Allied division cut
loose.
The Reds who were not killed
or wounded tried to escape in the
mountain foliage.
Warplanes took up the attack
with screaming strafing dives.
The Reds opened fire on an Al
lied patrol. U. N. officers said this
was clear indication that they
intended treachery, since they had
been told to leave their arms be-
hind.
On another sector of the front,
a surrender offer by % Red
Koreans turned out to be genuine.
Stunned by air attacks they laid
down their weapons, raised their
hands high and crossed to U. N.
lines.

Shoulder Burden,
He Tells Senate
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Humphrey, Democrat.
of Minnesota, said today the Ma
tion's economy is strong enough
to sustain the burden" of a big
new tax load.
The Minnesota Democrat was
continuing his fight on the Senate
floor for at least So billion in new
taxes. The Senate Finance Com
mittee. headed by Senator George.
Democrat, of Georgia, has recon-
|mended tax increases totaling
about $500, 100000. President
Truman and administration sup
porters contend this is not enough
to check imitation and have urged
up to $40 billion in new taxes.
Senator Humphreys drew
sharp but good humored retort
from Senator Millikin, Republican.
of Colorado, asserted the Nation
is facing deficit of $40 billion to
$50 billion in the fiscal year start
ing next July when defense spend
ing is scheduled to hit peak.
Admits Burden is Severe.
The budget could not be bal
anced then. he contended, even
with Federal sales tax or by
taking every penny of income of
those in the high brackets"
Senator Humphrey said he
knew these are not happy days"
and that the tax burden is severe.
But he said he did not believe,
either. the contention of some
members of the Finance Commit
tee that "the country is going to
the dogs" and can not stand more
taxes.
He said he was encouraged by
these facts:
/. Corporation profits in the
first quarter of 1851 were at the
all-time peak annual level of $23
billion after, taxes.
2. The Federal Reserve Board
has just revealed that in the sec
ond quarter of 1851 savings by in
dividuals were at the peacetime
record of $21 billion a year.
3. A Joint Commerce Depart
ment Securities and Exchange
Commission report has just fore
cast expenditure of $25 billion
this year by business on plant and
equipment. an all-time record.
Everything Is Wonderful"
Senator Millikin, ranking Re-
publican on the Finance Com
mittee, jumped up to say:
I'VE have $3.50 billion public
debt. everything is just wonder
Iful.
I'VE are in a war if Korea.
Everything is Just fine.
We are proposing to load more
billions on the backs of the tax

Senator Lehman, Democrat-lib-

what the group is trying to do is
to see that the national debt does
not go higher.
Wants Presidential Cut.
Senator Millikin retorted that

Congress cut taxes and still the
Government had a surplus in its
two years in power.

After being greeted by City
Manager Chas. A. Carran, the stu

Gus departments in the building,
being particularly impressed with
the Police and Fire Departments.
Visits were also made to the Serv-
ice Department buildings, Pistol
Range and Incinerator plant on
Eddy I'd.
In each instance students were
greeted by department head who
escorted the guests and explained
the workings of that particular de-
partment, and answered questions
asked by the pupils.
In their Social Studies work at
Shaw, the students devote some
time to the study of city govern
ment, stressing the City Manager

Curriculum Study
Started At Kirk

Under the supervision of DR..
L. L. Myers, principal, all pupils
at w. H. Kirk Junior High School
this week hav ebeen taking series
of standardized Cooperative Tests
in English, Latin, mathematics,
science, and social studies.
The tests, published by the
American Council on Education,
are the first step in a curriculum
study to be made by the faculty
in the ensuing months.
DR.. Myers states emphatically
that the tests were not admins
tered for the purpose of measur-
ing the efficiency of the individual
teacher but rather to determine
the strong and the weak points in
the present course of study. The
test results will also enable the
faculty to compare the standards
of Kirk with schools elsewhere in
the United States.
At faculty meeting last week
DIR. David P. Harry jr. from the
faculty of Western Reserve Uni
versity discussed the general
trends in education as we'll as the
current trend in measuring the
achievement of pupils.
