With end of the strike in sight,
the company began preparing it's

The job entailed getting 963

able to function without devastat-

also the turning point in his career.
He was nearly electrocuted while
repairing a shoe fuse on his line.
Five thousand volts passed through
his huge frame, burning off all mis-
clothing and hair.
After Mr.. Ching had spent
months in a hospital. he returned
to the job and the company gave
him other work to do. He grad
ually worked his way into the labor
relations end of the business and
was instrumental in settling a
tough transit strike in Boston
in 1912.
The transit company directors
were so impressed by Mr.. Ching's
conciliatory efforts that they
made him assistant to the presi-
denr and put him in charge of all
personnel relations.
While in Boston he went to
night school and won a law de-
gree. In 1919 he moved on to
the United States Rubber Co. and
subsequently was placed in charge
of all labor and public relations
for that big company. He finally
left United States Rubber in 1947
to become director of the United
States Mediation and Cancellation
Service when it became an in
dependent agency under the Taft
Hartley Act.

Donohue' S Arbitration
Proposal Hit by Clio

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue drew criticism today from the
District CIO Council on his pro-
posal for a law requiring COM
pulsory arbitration of disputes in
the utilities field.
The council made public tele-
gram from Glenn E. Watts, coun-
Gil president, to Mr.. Donohue de-
claring, I'VE were further
troubled to read what indicated
your feeling to be that the ques-
ton of seniority in this dispute
is not sufficient justification for
the transit strike"
The telegram expressed the
view that arbitration, and GER
tainly compulsory arbitration
can never completely settle the
issues which arise in the field of
collective bargaining"
On the question of seniority. it
said that "as we remember the
last few years. the transit COM
.pany in Washington has used the
Iemploye body as the one flexible
buffer in its economic planning
/. if any issue could possibly
warrant the action of the transit
employees. it is this question of
seniority"
The council also released a tele-
gram from Mr.. Watts last Fri
day to Walter Bierwagon, transit
employees union president, ex-
pressing support in the event a
strike was necessary.

porations, covering their combined
normal and excess profits taxes
1t also raises the taxes of all indi-

increase many of the excise taxes

Mr.. Wilson told the Senators
there are only two courses Con-

this tax bill. One would be to cut
the defense program, which he
said would be 'unthinkable.
The other would be to borrow fo1

Senator Byrd asked Mr.. Wilson
to try to find out Why the admin

board to renegotiate defense con-
tracts, although the renegotiatior
law passed four months ago. The

Il ThaiIand Civilians
Killed, 2S6 Injured in
NaW's 3-Day Revolt
BY the Associated Press

BANGKOK, Thailand, July s.
The navy's abortive three-day at
tempt to take over rule of Thai
land cost at least IL civilian dead
and 286 wounded.
Army hospitals were filled to
capacity, doctors said, but they
refused to release any statistics.
One German was reported killed
This was not confirmed and there
were no reports of other foreign
casualties.
Heaviest service casualties were
believed to be among navy per-
sonnel which battled army, air
force and police after kidnapping
Premier P. PibulSonggram.
The 54-year-old Premier es-
capped by diving overheard from a
flaming warShip, clad only in his
shorts. He was back today ruling,
with the help of martial law, over
a peaceful but battered Bangkok
Embassy in Line of Fire.
The British and American En-
baSSieS were heavily, but not Seri-
ously. Scared by shell fragments.
They were in the line OF fire be-
tween the army'S japanese quilt
tanks and the uavy'S artillery.
Trees wore short haircuts as re-
mlnder of the battle.
Most serious damage was to
Thailand'S small but strategic
fighting supplies. Artillery fire and
naval bombs sank a torpedo boat
and the 2,265-ton gunboat Sri
Ayuthia, flagship of the Thai navy
and PibulSonggram's prison ship.
The premier was kidnapped at a
public ceremony Friday and i'm
prisoned with apologies aboard the
Sri Ayuthia. He escaped Saturday
after an artillery shell sit it afire.
Hid Under Wharf.
His guard fed with most of the
crew Three crewmen released
him from mis- cabin and the four
dove over the side. Only Pibul-
songgram and one of the sailors
were able to swim safely through
the gunfire splashing in the river.
The premier hid under wharf
across the river from Bangkok
until message could be sent to
his secretary and small boat sent
to rescue him
He returned with Admiral Luang
Singu Songgramchai under heavy
fire. Together they issued broad
casts which brought an end to the
abortive coup.
All indications were that it was
strictly a navy rebellion with no
foreign influence.

high army and air force chiefs
whom the rebels had counted on
weren't there to join the rebellion

VenizeIos Tells Kinq
0fCabinet Failure
By the Associated Press

ATHENS, July Liberal
Premier Sophocles Venizelos
called on King Paul today to tell
him he was unable to meet the
monarch's demands for informa-
ton of a broad coalition govern
ment. He said he would call on
the king again tonight for final
counsel on what course should be
taken.
The King had threatened to
take action himself if the coali-
ton was not formed. He may dis
solve Parliament and call new
elections Immediately.
The cabinet crisis resulted from
the resignation of Minister OF
Economic Coordination George
Papandreou after Mr.. Venizelos
and the American aid mission re-
fused to approve a large increase
In subsidies for wheat grower:

Mr.. 'Venizelos' failure to form g
coalition resulted from the refusa
of the Progressive Unionist leader
Gen. Nicolas Plastiras, and Popu-
list (royalist) chief Constantir
Tsaldaris to bring their forces into
the cabinet. Both insisted tha'
new elections be held.
King Paul had demanded tht
strong coalition to put a stop tt
frequent changes in Greece's gov
Iernment. In message to politica
leaders yesterday he pointed ou
that 13 cabinets had held offic,

Senators Sharpen Wits
In Oral Duel on Code
OF Ethics Proposal

The old code of dueling and the
modern codes Of city and rural
life have come up in a con-
|gressional discussion of proposals
to draft a code of ethics for Gov
ernment employees.
Senate Labor subcommittee
members holding hearings on a
proposal of Senator Fulbright,
Democrat, Of Arkansas, for crea-
ton Of commission to draw up
an ethical code did some fencing
|at various points yesterday.
Aiken Suggests Dueling.
Senator Fulbright declared he
never had known a time when
such bitterness" existed in Gov
ernment. Senator Aiken, Republi-
can OF Vermont. facetiously sug-
gested that a revival of "the good
old days of dueling" might help
gentlemen in Congress and gov
ernmental agencies dispose of some
OF their differences.
Il shouldn't be surprised that
the suggestion has a good deal of
merit in it," Senator Fulbright
chuckled. 81 think it might exer-
else some restraint if members of
Congress knew they would have
to answer for some of these ir-
responsible statements.
Talk Takes Serious Turn.
The discussion took a more
serious turn when Senators Aiken
and Fulbright cited crime and
corruption of big cities. Senator
Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois OBJ
jected. He said it was "a great
fallacy to assume there is greater
virtue in rural life" He added
that his viewpoint was not influ-
enced by the fact that he came
from Chicago.
i think you will have just as
many murderers, just as many
embellishments, just as much un-
chastity per capita in the rural
communities as in the big cities"
he contended.
| But the Arkansas Senator de-
clared. There is certain ire
sponsibility that goes with size. u
He noted that the Illinois Senator
was a notable exception"

The Ohio Senator. in an NBC
radio address defended the SEN
ate-passed eight-month extension
of the controls law as "a good,
strong price and wage control bill"
He said the President had failed
to use the limitation measures
which Congress gave him last
September 8. Now, he declared,
Mr.. Truman would like to place
on Congress "the blame for the
imitation which has occurred and
probably will occur because Of the
Presidents own policies and fail
ures to act"
Number of Requests Refused.
The Senate bill failed to give
Mr.. Truman a number of meas
ureS for which he asked, including
the authority to license business
to help control prices, control of
commercial rents and the power
to build planes for defense pro-
'duction.
This measure has not been ap-
proved by the House. Instead the
House and Senate agreed on the
present stopgap bill providing for
"a 31-day extension of the controls
with prohibition of price roll
backs.
Senator Taft asserted he be-
lieves these unlimited powers
Should not be granted the Presi-
dent because I do not trust him
to use them only with relation to
price control in an emergency"
He said also that Mr.. Truman S
fight is with his own party be-
cause Democrats control commit
tees of both House and Senate.
He has had a Democratic Con-
gress for three years. Senator Taft
said of the President. But this
is Congress that refuses to take
left wing orders even if they come
