Broadway producers are taking
care that auld acquaintance
should not be forgot at this start
of a new year.
With the return this week of
the one-time hit musical, pal

her original role, the f1rst-night
audiences encountered the first of
a series of return shows which
have found favor in past show
|ings and now are being seen again
in nostalgia revivals.
When Pal Joey. as played by
Hoofer Gene Kelly first appeared
in 1910, he was regarded as some
thing Of a louseN by all and sun
dry. Nevertheless, he had a GER
tain charm which retained him
as a boxofice sellout for 374
performances.
Audience Grows Up.
Composer Richard Rodgers, who
wrote the music for Lorenz Hart's
lyrics and John O'Hara's book ir
the original version of this
musical, thinks that pal joey,
will far extend its first run OF
374 performances in this revival
He bases it on the premise that
audiences are more adult today
than they were in 1910 and there

The oil industry is threatened
with . strike which could cause a
Nationwide fuel shortage for
homes and industry.
The East Coast. particularly,
would be hard hit il the strike
occurs. It has been operating on
q narrow supply margin for home
heating fuel oils.
Major CIO, AFL and independ-
ent unions representing workers
engaged in producing, refining and
distributing oil have banded to-
getfer in demands for ascent
hourly pay raise and other bene-
flts.
o. A. knight. president Of the
CLOS oil workers, said nerct'c-
tions are tagging and the unions
plan to get together this week to
set q strike date.
His union and some other labor
groups already are taking strike
votes among the workers. The
unions estimate they speak for
275. 900 workers. but Government
officials said the number Is much
smaller. probably only 100000.
Nobody doubts. however, that a
concerted walkout Of the score or
more unions would cripple the oil
industry.

more pay for requiring fewer
workers. and employees In an
agency that achieved maximum
economy and efficiency would get
pay raises. Also. top jobs would
be graded up in salary so that
private industry would not siphon
off key personnel at better SAL
aries.
Senator Monroney said that II
the program works at Internal
Revenue, it could be applied to-
all departments and agencies one
at time.
Size Of Task Cited.
"The task of trying to write q
law and administering it fairly
for Improvement Of a system ia-I
volving two million Government
employees Is too great for any
group Of men to accomplish In
one lift" Senator Monroney says
But raising standards for this one
agency could be q great start, on
the larger job"
Senator Monroney also stresses
that it Is important, as efforts are
made to ferret out and prosecute
the guilty in Government. that
the two million faithful employees
of the Government are not tarred
by suspicion"
1.-THE preponderant number Of
Government employees are thor
oughly honest" Senator Monroney
declares. "They do their jobs
with faithful devotion to duty and
resent more than the public the
wrongdoings Of their few fellow
employees who have been guilty OF
wrongdoing."
The Oklahoman said the situa-
tion should be kept in proper
perspective and not put the stigma
upon all for the sins Of the few"
The Monroney bill also provides
for mandatory jail sentences for
both the giver and receiver in

tirement rights for any employe
who is guilty Of breach of pub

The measure provides that oil

tion rights would be removed.
Promotions and job assign

Reds Reject Proposal
|0f Allies ior Limiting
Postwar Conference
~ ,he A,.ocic,sd Pres,

MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Feb
1O.-The Communists today re-
jected an Allied proposal that the
final Korean settlement be limited
strictly to Korean problems.
North Korean Gen. Nam n said
the Allied plan. submitted yester-
day, was not acceptable because
Korea is not an isloated Ques-
ton and it is essential that we
discuss other problems related to
peace in Korea"
He apparently referred to such
thorny Asian problems as For
mosa. Indo- China and q U. N
seat for Communist China.
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy,
senior u. N. command delegate,
insisted that military armistice
delegations did not have the
authority to recommend the solu-
tion of any problem outside Korea.
Urged Study Of Proposal.
Vice Admiral Joy said the Allies
had gone "as far as we can" to
meet the original Red proposal OF
last Wednesday.
1--WE urge you to study our pro-
posal and =. adopt it imme-
diately," he told the Reds.
He said the Allied ban on nom
Korean subjects was essential,
because in presenting your pro-
posal you indicated this item
could include all Of the problems
Of Asia. The political means which
are adopted by the governments
and authorities to solve the
Korean problem will consider any
and all matters which it Is author
lied to consider"
The Communists also criticized
the vague" wording of the U. N.
command proposal on q post
armistice conference.
They did agree. however. to in
clude South Korea In any such
conference.
Beyond Military Field.
Explaining why the q. N. COM
mand wanted the conference linn
tied to Korean affairs, Admiral
Joy said. "It is not in the realm
of military commander to make
recommendations concerning mat
tiers which themselves are beyond
the scope Of his authority"
The Reds again suggested that
each side appoint i've representa-
tives to q political conference.
The top negotiators met for
two hours and five minutes, with
recesses Of 80 and 20 minutes.
Another full-dress session was
called for 10 am. Monday g PM.
