fourth regional Wage Stablization
Board has approved wage in
creases for AFL drivers of whole
sale meat firms in Washington
and for employees Of two other
District companies.
The board, acting on an appeal
from an earlier denial. took the
action on the basis of new sup
porting evidence of an inter-plant
inequity. It allowed a 5-cent-an-
hour increase to 81 drivers of five
companies. These are Sam Mir
man. Inc, Mirman Brothers,
American Meat Company. Inc,
Pointer. Inc, and Witt & Co., Inc.
The approval serves to narrow a
differential in driver rates for
comparable work in the Washing
ton wholesale meat business, the
board said.
A 20-cent-an-hour acroSs-the-
board increase was approved for
110 non-union employees Of the
Terminal Refrigerating and Ware
housing Corp. and the Consoii-
dated Terminal Corp. both under
the same ownership. :. This case
also was based on an inter-plant
inequity.

this and it would like to assist
the course of events by some
approving expression.
The generals behavior in the
face of the textile workers riot
in Alexandria a few days ago
served to indicate his determi-
nation that lawless and violent
elements-either Communist in
themselves or being used by the
Communists-will not be al
lowed to prevail. Gen. Naguib
took over the government
last month without the blood
shed or the fire of revolu-
ton. When the Alexandria
rioting broke out, he sent troops
in to restore order, dispatched

city to find and try those guilty

the country's internal peace
would be considered as high

Yesterday, he told his troops
that Communist agitation or
