In answer to the company's S
statement that the union pro-
posals would exceed the 10 per
cent wage increases generally ap-
proved by the Wage Stahilization
Board, Walter j. Bierwagen, presi-
dent of the local union. said:

the figure should not be approved,
we would live by what the board
says. It is not known now what
the board will approve. After all
we, have not had any wage in
crease for two years. The board
makes provision for hardship
cases"
It is believed that virtually any
agreement providing a wage in
crease would be followed by q
company move for higher fares.
Thirteen Cent Raise offered.
The company said that on
March 80 it offered the union ar
Iacross-the-board increase of 1;
cents. This and other benefits
rejected at that time were esti-
mated by the company to cost an
additional Sis million a year. or
about a 10 per cent additional to
the company's wage cost.
The company said that had this
been accepted it would have re-
|quired "at least the elimination
of the weekly pass and tokens
from our fare structure. It said
also that the proffered increase
would have put the wage rates
'among the highest in the United
States of any privately owned

TOKYO PRESS
 AVOIDS JUDGEMENT

TOKYO, P)-The Tokyo press yesterday avoided judgment on the firing of General MacArthur.
 Instead, editorials unanimously praised MacArthur's occupation policies and expressed regret and sorrow that he would no longer head the US. forces in Japan.
 The newspaper Mainchi said the reasons for MacArthur's dismis- sal were outside of our sphere of comment"
 The editorial praised the gener- al for giving to Japan "a thing en- tirely new to the Japanese-free- dom and respect for the individ- ual."
 Like most other papers, Maini- chi said US. occupation policies would probably change little since "the reason for the dismissal of the general is not related to the Japanese issue"

Roland Blank of Winnipeg was
convicted of manslaughter today

Blank, 81, was the first of three
enlisted men of the Canadian

1t. Lee was one of three South

of Chung Woon.
Blank testified that he did not
throw the grenade. He said he
was on "a large-siZed bender"

As Senator Moody Sees It
Military Security Bill Is Small
For Task Ahead, EyenifNot Cut

or discuss by how many divisions
or airplanes present prospective
strength falls short, but one can
report that the program as ex-
planned by our leading experts
seems utterly reasonable and well
planned. The Eisenhower staff is
reviewing the requirements, with
no sign of any intent to scale
them down.
Gen. Eisenhower does not ap-
pear to be talking through his hat
when he says that a dollar spent
now promises to be worth two
spent later-and will not leave us
with our neck out for so long.
Based on Needs.
No one is proposing that we
the Russians man for man
on the ground-aS one general
put it, we're not going 10 dances"
Or even plane for plane IN the
air. The strategic estimates are
based on what would be needed
to stop the Red juggernaut by
devastating modern weapons, skill
fully directed.
Congress, then. is left with three
choices:
First, to get the facts about "the
gap" and act to build force ade-
quate to what he NATO sUrate-
gists say the military threat is.
This would require larger appro-
priation than the $8.5 billion
asked. and conditions requiring
that Allies on the NATO team
raise their output to the maxi
mum of their capacity.
Second, to provide the full
amount asked, with requirements
for greater allied production
which would go part way, at
least, in closing the gap.
Third, accept the level of mill
tary strength contemplated in the
bill, and by application of the
same requirements get that
amount for less money, but not
a billion less. That would in
volve, according to best estimates
I have been able to obtain,
cut in strength.
The third course is risky. My
conversations abroad have reaf-
f1rmed my conviction that people,
these days. are not asking them
selves often enough: Are we in
danger or are we not?

OF mllltafy strength 1t provides is
so inadequate as to gamble with
our safety and our survival.
The practical legislative pros
pect, however, is that it will be
slashed, as the House slashed it,
by more than 81 billion. The
joint committee reporting the bill
has already recommended such a
reduction. A minority report of
protest promises to be little more
than that.
Chilling" Prospect.
While congressional action is
rarely certain before the last vote
is counted, it has been interesting
and little chilling for one just
returned from conversations with
those charged with building the
strength and providing the leader
snip Of the North Atlantic alliance
to compare what Congress
seems about to do with this bill,
and the strength that the top
Strategists of the NATO nations,
including ours, have officially esti-
mated is needed to smash a Com
munist aggression in Western
Europe.
Unless there is a sudden re-
versal, or unless the highest NATOI
board was unanimously wrong, we
are sticking our neck out a mile.
What at first appears to be a
paradox should be quickly added:
The authorization of So billion
can be reduced-providing we are
content to take our chances with
the degree of military strength
contemplated in the original bill.
BY pressing for maximum produc-
ton Of weapons in European
plants, and insisting that they
be financed when possible by the
local-currency counterpart" of
United States economic aid, we
could get more for less money.
Questions Posed.
But the real questions are:
/. Are we really threatened by
Russia. or is this all a figment
of some ones imagination? And
2. If this world revolution is
not myth, are we doing what
the experts tell us we must do to
meet the challenge?
The answer to the second ques-
ton is no"
Among our top officials abroad
there is constant study. and worry,
over what is known as "the gap"
THE gap" is what we and the
Allies still will not have done, to
bring the Eisenhower army's
strength to the point the NATO
board says is essential, providing
Congress passes the program as
presented, and all our Allies live
up to all of the efforts assigned
to them.
Unwillingness Noted.
Congress appears unwilling to
pass the full bill. Some Allies are
falling short. but, even if they
were doing all they are asked,
"the gap" would still exist.
In addition:
The essential" program of the
NATO board, which, because of
these failures, is not even being
approached, does not contemplate
reaching its goal of strength for
two years or more.
Thus, if we did everything the
NATO Board asked, we would not
be ready for months, but Congress
is not even being asked to do
what the board proposed, and
Congress is cutting down even
what it has been asked to do.
The question remains, are the
requirements" for adequate
strength, established by the NATO
Board, unreasonable or extrava-
CANT?
No layman can answer this. |
Certainly no layman can disclose
the details of that program and

 But the poor old railroad engine cannot dodge.
 Listen kids, your daddy owns a nice shining car that weighs about one ton. This engine weighs 1O3 tons. So, imagine 1O3 more cars on top of your Daddy's car. also, this engine was pulling 1855 tons of coal. So, suppose your Daddy was pulling 1855 cars be- hind him. Also, this engine was pulling a coach that weighs 90 tons add ninety more cars be- behind the 1855 cars for your Daddy to pull. And then, too, the little red caboose weighs 25 tons. Now, add 103 tons for the en- zine, 1855 tons for the coal he was pulling, plus 90 tons for the coach and 25 tons for the little red caboose and ask your Daddy if he was going 30 miles per hour with his car and all this weight added! If he slammed on his brakeS-how far would he go be- fore stopping?
 You know Santa Claus comes only once a year. But Santa's ne- phew, the Railroad engine, comes every day and at any hour and brings you groceries, lumber, can- dy and everything you-need to en- joy life and for your happiness.
