To Britain Arouses
Anger in Congress
Secretary Tells Members
Of Commons of Mixup
Over YuIu Notification
By the Associated Press

Secretary of State Acheson Is
going to have to do some explain
ing to Congress about his reported
apology to Britain for not telling
that country in advance of the
American bombing of North Ko-
rean power stations.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire told the Senate
yesterday the apology-if made
was "a shocking thing"
And Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California. who brought
the matter to the Senate's atten-
ton by reading a London news
report about it, demanded that a
full text of Mr.. Acheson's remarks
be made available to Congress.
Must Share Burden.
Senator Knowland said if Brit
ain wants a bigger voice in the
conduct of the Korean war he
would have no objection, provided
the British assumed a larger share
of the burden.
There was no reaction from the
White House. President Truman's
press secretary, Joseph L. Short,
said there is no official report"
The London account said Mr..
Acheson repeatedly made the
apology to about 200 members
representing both Houses of Par
lament during a 20-minute meet
ing yesterday.
Secretary Acheson was reported
to have told them American off,
cials had intended to notify the
British Defense Minister, Field
Marshal Lord Alexander, and
Selwyn Lloyd, British Minister of
State for Foreign Affairs, who
arrived in Washington last Satur-
day.
But. he is reported to have
explained, due to a mixup over
whether a State or Defense De-
partment official was to make the
notification neither was informed.
Earlier Statement.
Further complicating the pic
ture. the State Department said
only last Wednesday the British
were not informed in advance be-
cause the raid was within the
scope of military action which
could be taken by the United
States without consulting its al
lies.
The raid occurred Monday. 1t
caused an immediate stir in Labor
Party circles in the British Par
lament. with fears voiced that it
might cause the war to spread.
The London report said Mr..
Acheson justified the raid at
length in his talk with the British
legislators and was applauded at
the end.
But there was no applause for
him in Congress.

Transit Union Voices
'Pessimism on Outlook
For Settling Contract
Talks Pressed in Effort
To Avert Strike Here
At Monday DeodIine

Conflicting views on the status
of contract negotiations between
Capital Transit management and
union today were voiced by both
parties to the dispute.
After an hour-long negotiation
session late yesterday, a company
spokesman had this to say:
'The meeting was in a friendly
atmosphere. Things are more op-
timistic."
But Walter j. Bierwagen, pres
ident of the local union of transit
operators and mechanics, declared
today:
IF the company is not backing
down I am most pessimistic as to
what will happen at midnight
Monday"
That hour is the deadline when
1900 members of Division 689,
Amalgamated Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America, will
strike if negotiations fail.
New Session Scheduled.
Another session is scheduled to
be held sometime today subject
to call by Federal Conciliator
Henry G. Baker, jr.
Mr.. Bierwagen agreed with the
company spokesman's statement
today that the,atmosphere of the
contract discussions is friendly.
But told Of the spokesman's re-
mark that the cQmpany's position
has not changed any," the un-
ion official declaRed:A..
IF that is the case, u, want to
disabuse any oneS 'the5dea that
any progress has >bsen maze"
He acknowledged shat there is
only one point that isl lplding up
a settlement. But that Is a big
one-the company wants to make
any wage increases to the union
membership contingent on the
granting of a new fare increase
to Capital Transit.
Hearing Set on Fares.
The District Public Utilities
Commission announced only yes
terday that a public hearing on
the fare increase request will be
held July Z. The company seeks
to abolish the $2.10 weekly pass
and the three-for Accents token,
leaving only the straight 15-cent
cash fare. This increase would
provide $1.1 million additional
gross revenue amounting to a
$492 900 net increase.
OF the company's basic proposal
to make wage increases hinge on
a fare increase, Mr.. Bierwagen
declared: That's something we
can't 60 for"
The District Building meeting
lasted 80 minutes. At the close
no one would comment except
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue.

Arlington Restricts Water.
The heat wave which took yes
terday's temperature to 101 de-
greeS has put such a tax on
Arlington County's water distri-
button system that residents there
were asked to stop watering lawns
and washing cars from 3 to 10
pm. daily.
No such restrictions were con-
templated in the District, Alexan-
dria, Falls Church or the nearby
Maryland area served by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, officials said.
Arlington County Water De-
partment officials said the heat
wave had caused a so per cent in
crease in the use of water, over
taxing the distribution system and
lowering pressure in some areas.
The ban there also stops the
filling of swimming pools during

Authorities reported complaints
had been received from residents
of South Walter Reed drive and
South Pollard street that they
