Freight Workers Idle
At Birmingham Yards
ey the Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 10
Scores of Birmingham railroad
freight yard employees failed to
report for work this morning. Pas
senger service was not affected.
Engineers, firemen and switch
men were idle at the Big Southern
Railway yards, while only switch
|men walked out at Louisville &
Nashville railroad yards.
SWitchmen also left their posts
at the yard serving the Frisco
Illinois Central and Central OF
Georgia shortly after midnight
Most of the following switching
crews reported. however, on the
morning shift there.
There was no official explana-
ton but a source, who refused to
be quoted by name, said the walk
outs probably were due to re-
ported dissatisfaction among rail-
road men over the compromise
plan offered for settlement of the
December rail dispute.

.472,O00 Immigrate
To District, Virginia,
MARYLAND in Decade

Census Bureau figures showed
today that 472,000 persons moved
into the District, Virginia and
Maryland in the decade ending
April /, 1850.
Washington itself had a mod
est net Immigration of $4,000 tc
accompany a natural increase
excess of births over deaths-o1
100. 900. But Virginia gained 161,-
900 and Maryland 272,000. Vir-
ginia's natural gain was 100000
and Maryland's 250.000.
The Census Bureau disclosed
these figures in announcing that
the District and eight South At
lantic States had a total popula-
ton of 21.182,335, for a 10-year
rise of 1873 per cent. Natural in
crease was wholly responsible for
the gain, which was 4.3 per cent
above the national average. The
region lost SIS, 1000 or 4 per cent by
out-migration. Natural increase
totaled 3,424,000.
Florida, which led the group
with $4,000, and Delaware, with
$1,000, were the only other South
Atlantic States to register net in
migrations. Georgia. the Caro-
linas and West Virginia showed
substantial losses by persons
moving out.
The Census Bureau also dis
closed that the East South Gen.

see, Alabama and Mississippi had
a net out-migration of 1888, 900.
The same held true of the West

Milk Producers Say
High Court Decision
Doesn't Affect Area

Spokesman for the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton maintained today that their
operations are unaffected by q
Supreme Court ruling striking
down q regulation in the Madison
(Wis.) milkshed.
The Supreme Court yesterday
invalidated a provision of the
Madison ordinance in a case which
attracted considerable interest
here.
The Wisconsin city required
that milk sold there be pasteur-
lied within a smile radius. This
provision was attacked by an Illi-
nois milk company, which has.
pasteurization plants in towns IS
and IS miles away.
In a 6-to-3 decision the Su-
preme Court accepted the COM
pany'S contention. The company
said its milk meets standards of
Chicago and other cities and de-
clared the Madison ordinance vio-
lated the interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution.
Opponents Think Otherwise.
Some persons who oppose the
District regulations differed with
the producers on the implications
of the ruling, however. They be-
lieve the opinion may have some
local effect.
Robert E. Lynch, attorney for
Embassy Dairy. was among those
expressing that belief. Embassy
is one of several independent"
dairies which have fought the
District regulations backed by the
milk producers association.
Mr.. Lynch said the Madison
regulation knocked out by the
Supreme Court was purely in the
interest of maintaining a milk
marketing monopoly. Madison,
he said, was trying to bar outside
milk. BY the same token. Mr..
Lynch added, some of the regu-
lations in effect here are restric-
tive and tend to bar new pro-
ducers from this market.
The complaining milk company
also asked the Supreme Court to
overrule another provision of the
Madison ordinance. This provi-
sion states that the Madison
Health Department is not required
to inspect farms situated more
than Is miles from town.
The high court declined to pass
on this point because the Wis
constr courts have not ruled on
the section.
Regulations Not Similar.
The Maryland Virginia produc-
ers' spokesmen contended the
Madison regulations are not SINH
| lar to the Districts. They said
no effort is made here to require
pasteurizing equipment to be near
the city.
The spokesmen noted that milk
sold here must, by Act of Congress,
be wholesome and pure. Inspec-
ton regulations supplementing
the act are fixed by the Commis-
sionerS.

Strike Farley Today

A threatened strike on the W.,
M. & A. bus line, serving some
10000 commuters daily between
Washington and Prince Georges
County, was to be discussed this
afternoon at a meeting of the
management and union spokes-
men,. .s.
The union has authorized a
strike and set tonight as a dead
line for the company to accept an
arbitration finding and reinstate
with back pay a driver discharged
for alleged negligence in an
accident.
Management Seeks Time.
A company spokesman said
there was no decision not to abide
by the arbitration award, but
that the award had been received
by the management only five days
ago. The management wants
more time to study it's provisions.
The award directs the company
to reinstate Norman F. Gibbs of
Maryland Park, Md. with back
pay to November Is. The arbitra-
tors cleared him of any negligence
in an accident on a Labor Day
run into West Virginia.
While the union set tonight as
a deadline, Charles K. Penrod, the
president, was authorized to ex-
tend it at his discretion.

II Injured in Explosion
Of Italian Tanker al Venice
BY the Associofed Press

VENICE, Italy. Jan. 16.-The
8,271-ton Italian tanker Louisa,
partially loaded with gasoline, ex-
ploded and burst into flames in
Venice Harbor today. First re-
ports said a dozen seamen were
injured and 80 to 40 others were
unaccounted for.
The Louisa had been isolated
from other ships and buildings
because of her cargo.
Port authorities said welders
were making repairs on the tanker
when the explosion occurred.

India S Premier Sees
Peace Plan Meaning
Recognition Of China
By the Associoied Press

LONDON, Jan. 16. - India S
Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru,
asserted today the United Nations
in effect has recognized Red China
"as one of the great powers to be
dealt with in deciding Far Eastern
questions.
This recognition. he told a news
conference, is bigger than would
be Red China's actual entry into
U. N.
The Peiping government. he
added, has promised careful
study of the f1ve-point Korean
peace plan adopted over the week
end by the U. N. Political Com
mittee.
Mr.. Nehru's government is in
close touch with Peiping. Many
|of the principles embodied in the
U. N. proposal were inspired by
Mr.. Nehru himself during a con-
4C1 Cl2SC Va LII 1tlSll
premiers. The whole plan had
commonwealth backing.
Mr.. Nehru described continued
American support for Generalissi-
mo Chang Kai-shek's Formosa-
based Nationalist Chinese regime
as "unrealistic."
The Indian leader said he did
not consider Red China's entry
into neighboring Tibet las a mill
tary threat to India
At the same time India, he
said, neither liked the act nor the
way in which it was done, "be-
cause it does bring into the sit
uation certain rather new factors
which may cause trouble" He did
not elaborate.
India, he added, does not pro-
pose to interfere in the Tibet Sit
uation land, indeed, we cannot" "

About $4,000 new jobs will open
up in the Economic Sterilization
Agency, including some 5000 in

positions will be created in the
National Production Authority,
and thousands of other positions

NEW RULES-All this vast hir-
ing means that civil service reg
ulations will have to be stream
lined still further to get the best
available people as rapidly as pos
sible.
Future exams in many types
of jobs are expected to be simpli-
fed considerably to speed up hir-
ing and widen the eligibility OF
those interested in these positions.
In some cases written exams will
be dispensed with. Candidates
instead will be given screening
| test, based on their past expert
ence and education background.
Also. if job applicants appear able
to do the work required, even If
they don't have the necessary ex-
perience, they will be certified for
employment.
MORE FREEDOM-The de-
fense and economic control agen-
cies also will be given greater
freedom in selecting their own
choices for administrative and
special jobs.
The Civil Service Commission
will cooperate with these agen-
cies in filling these positions, but
the agencies will have the right
to select persons either on or off
civil service registers who, they
feel, are the right type for the
particular job at hand.

NOT OVERNIGHT-The Gov
ernment's vast employment pro-
gram doesn't mean that every
body who wants a Government
job will get one overnight.
The 100000 hiring program will
extend over 17-month period
and all the appointments won't be
made Immediately. Then, too, the
money for all these new jobs still
must be appropriated by Congress
and this will take several months.
However, Government hiring has
picked up tremendously during
the past few months and new en-
ployes are being added at the rate
of 25, 900 a month.
There are still enough applicants
on the commissions regular cleri-
| cal register to fill the need for
|clerical help. However, the
stepped-up employment program
probably will deplete the register
in six months or before and this
will give others a chance to COM
pete for these clerical positions.
