Venetian Blind Cord
Sfrang|es Baby Boy
In Silver Spring Home

An ominous quiet in the nursery
led a father to discover his 16-
month-old son dying of strangu-
lation, his neck entangled in a
Venetian blind cord at their Silver
Spring home yesterday.
The boy was Charles Thomas
Stewart, jr., 80 st. Lawrence
drive.
Mr.. Stewart and a 6-year-old
daughter. Margaret, were in the
first floor of their home at the
time. They noticed suddenly that
things were too quiet" in the
second-f1oor nursery, according to
Mrs. Stewart.
Mrs. Stewart said her husband
then went up to investigate, be-
lieving his son might have fallen
asleep on the floor. He found the
boy unconscious. A doctor pro-
nounced him dead at the scene.
The mother and another daugh-
ter, Alice, 10. were at church
when the tragedy occurred.
DR.. Frank j. Broschart, Mont
gomery County medical examiner.
who issued certificate of acci-
dental strangulation, said this was
the first case of its kind he could
remember in Montgomery Coun-
ty. He recalled, however, that a
baby strangled on a Venetian
blind cord in Alexandria about a
month ago.
The funeral is scheduled for 9
am. tomorrow in st. Bernadette's
Catholic Church at Four Corners.
The baby's parents and two sis
ters survive.
Mr.. Stewart is director of public
relations for the National Associa-
ton of Red Estate Boards in the

U. N. Negotiator Sees
Signs Reds Do Not
Want Korean Peace
BY The Assoeioted Pres.


MUNSAN, Korea, Jan. 1.-THE
United Nations chief truce nego-
tiator said today there are grow
ing indications that the Commu-
nlsts do not want a stable ar
mistice in Korea.
Today's report from Panmun-
JON was the now familiar no
progress"
II the Communists ARE acting
in good faith and sincerely want
peace, there can be no reason for
them to construct military air.
fields during the period of an ar
mlstice," said Vice Admiral C..
Turner Joy. He flew to Tokyo
Tor conferences with Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied
commander.
Session Ends Abruptly.
IF, on the other hand, the
Communists are acting in bad
faith and are, in fact, preparing
Tor war, the construction of mill
tary airfields becomes, and is, a
matter of great urgency to Them"
Admiral Joy added.
The Reds reiterated their in
Slstence on the right to construct
and repair airfieldS during a brief
meeting today of the subcommit-
tee on truce supervision.
The session ended abruptly after
Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang
accused the Allies of Intention
ally delaying the negotiations"
and trying to wreck the truce talks
by insisting on prohibiting con-
struction of military air bases.
Communist delegates again re-
jected a siX-point Allied plan for
exchanging prisoners of war and
civilians.
Another Meeting Scheduled.
Rear Admiral r. E. Libby
promptly submitted the plan again
and again explained it in detail.
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Sang Cho listened to Libby's ex-
PLANTATION, then commented:
mo matter how eloquently you
describe it, we cannot accept your
proposal"
Both subcommittee will meet
again at II am. Tuesday 70 pm.

Admiral Joy told newsmen in
Tokyo his conferences with Gen.
Ridgway would cover only routine
matters.
There is no change in truce
negotiations at Panmuniom to
prompt this visit" he said.
With each passing day there
Is less and less reason to think

stable armistice. Certainly. no
one can accuse them of being in

The Federal Spotlight
Bx Joseph Younn

The Civil Service Commission
today issued in and
answer form the replies to the
most frequent queries by employees
regarding the new 13 to 26 days a
year annual leave system.
Here are the questions and
answers:
]. Will intermittent employees
who formerly earned leave under
regulations in effect prior to
January 6, 1852, but who are ex-
Evening star., 1952-01-07

leave benefits, they are not under
any leave system. They would,
however, be paid lump sum for
the annual leave to their credit
on January S, 1852.
2. Will employees who are en-
ployed on a when actually en-
ployed" basis, but whose services
are required for irregular and un-
predictable periods of time, be ex-
Icluded from leave benefits?
Yes. An employe must have a
regular tour of duty established in
advance. However, if it can be
determined an employees service
will be required regularly for as
much as one hour in each ad-
|ministrative workweek, he will be
considered as having a regular
tour of duty and will be entitled
to earn leave for all time in duty
status up to 80 hours in any pay
period.
3. Must sworn affidavits be OBJ
tanned from all employees in order
to establish their creditable serv-
ice on which to base their leave
|accrual rate?
No. An AFFIDAVIT need be OBJ
tained only when no official
records are available concerning
a period of service.
Question on Foreign Leave.
4. Under the new Leave Act,
employees whose posts Of duty are
outside the United States are al
lowed, once in every 24-month
period, to return with no charge
to leave for travel time. ID Does
this mean that employees will be
returned to the United States at
Government expense for the sole
purpose of taking leave? (2) May
the employe, for administrative
convenience, be granted such
travel time before the 24-month
period has been completed?
CD No. This provision relates
only to leave and in no way affects
any laws or regulations with re-
spect to payment of travel ex-
pense. (2) Yes. The law permits
such return not oftener than once
in every 24-month period.
5. What leave accrual is al
lowed for the period of January /
to January 6, 1852, in the case of
both permanent and temporary
employees?
Leave for this period will accrue
at the rate provided by the ap-
propriate regulations in effect
prior to January 6. 1852. Perma-
|nent employees undert he Annual
and Sick Leave Acts of 1886 will
accrue annual leave according to
the accrual table for partial pay
periods; for example, an employe
whose basic workweek during that
week was Tuesday through Satur-
day would accrue four hours of
annual leave for this period. A
temporary employe who began a
month of service after December 6,
1951-that is, a month that could
not be completed for leave accrual
purposes until after the repeal of
the 1886 leave statutes-will be
given a pro-rata credit of leave up
to January 6, 1852, provided that
he completes the month Of service.
Il n
FORFEITS-6. Under the new
Leave Act, employees will forfeit,
at the close of the last full pay
period in the calendar year. any
annual leave which exceeds the
maximum accumulation allowed.
How will this provision affect leave
accrued between the end of the
last pay period and the end of the
year?
It will have no effect on leave
accrued during this period. Under
the new Act leave accrues on the
basis of a full pay period rather
than on a calendar year basis.
Leave earned during the period
between the end of the last pay
period and the end of the calendar
year will be included in the leave
credited for the next pay period.

AFL Presses Drive
For Shift Of 100000
Clio Textile Workers
BY the Asseeiated Press

BOSTON, May 20.-A CIO-AFL
battle for members was under way
today as George Baldanzi, former
CIO official who bolted to the AFL,
announced his organization will
throw all its resources into drive
to organize Southern textile
workers.
Mr.. Baldanzi, former vice presi-
dent Of the CIO Textile Workers
Union. switched to the AFL United
Textile Workers yesterday and said
he hopes to bring 100000 CIO
members into the AFL fold.
The switch by Mr.. Baldanzl
stemmed from a recent battle in
Cleveland where Emil Rieve de-
feated him for the presidency of
the CIO-TWUA. That eliminated
a long dispute between Mr.. Bal
danzi and Mr.. Rieve over execu-
tive and organizational matters.
The CIO union claims $3.50, 900
members in the United States and
Canada. The AFL claims 10000
members in its textile division.
Shift of $4,000 Reported.
Mr.. Baldanzi. appointed AFL
unions director of the national
textile organization, said that 53,-i
900 already have shifted from the
CIO to the AFL in New York.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, the Carolinas and Vr-l
ginia.
He said he took a salary cut
from $13.500 to $500 to go with
the AFL.
Mr.. Rieve said that his union
has contracts with various mills
and that even if workers secede,
the union intends to stick by its
agreement.
In Thompsonville, Conn, Local
2188 of the CIO-TWUA, an
nounced it had voted to leave the
CIO and join the AFL.
The local supported Mr.. Bal
danzl at the Cleveland convention
Local Denounces Baldanzi.
In Maynard. Mass, however,
Local 140. representing employees
of the Assabet Mills, voted to re-
main in the CIO, denouncing Mr.
Baldanzi for leading a secession
movement.
Mr.. Rieve said yesterday that.
Mr. Baldanzi and other seeding
CIO-TWUA administrators and
organizers could not deliver more
than Is per cent Of the 100000
CIO members they said would join
the AFL within a year. He said
the national CIO organization has
placed its resources at the dis
posal Of his union.
