The union Is demanding rs.

II also wants its work week re.
duced from as to 40 hours, with
no reduction IN pay. The two de.

SO far the company has made nc

profits is not startling. but Il of
them showed a sharp decline.
Combined earnings of the 46 were
$50 500, $50 in the 1852 period and
Sos. 1886. S2l in the 1851 period.
Reasons why companies hook so
much worse currently than they
did year ago are chiefly: 1. Sales
and profits in many lines hit a
peak in the early months OF 1851;
and 2. The sharply higher taxes
of today were not in effect in the
first three months of 1951-they
went into effect for corporations
Just a year ago. on April Fools
Day.
The drop for most companies,
as apparently foreshadowed by the
companies reporting early. viii not,
be unexpected, therefore. Slack
sales win hold down some. and
higher taxes and operating costs
viii plague most firms this year.
But businessmen hope that the
three months Just passed viii be
the worst-when compared with a
year ago. That is because profits
in the first quarter of 1851 hit
their peak. As 1852 continues. the
comparisons win be with periods of.
1851 when the bloom was fading
from the Korean War inflationary
boom.

The British Travel Association recently sent three
bright red, doube-deck London buses to the United

in New York and caused quite sensation they drove
down the streets of New Rork In fact anyone who
been London they brought back real touch Of
Great Britan's capital city.
Getting beyond the sentimental touch and the novel;
ty angle, the buses pose question which might day,

mhe British, in crowded London, solved
their problem years ago by building buses with two
decks Americans who have ridden them testify
to their efficiency and their ability to haul large numbers

Many Americans have observed that in the field Of
transportation this country has learned and learn
much from various European countries The u S. rail-

Stain said he considers the

Four days later Adenauer an
n0unced that the U. S., British
and French foreign ministers
would meet with him In May to

/ signing of such a peace contract
would formalize the East-West

prove q permanent block to Soviet

feeling d urgency in Moscow about
Germany, and that is probably one
reason Stain decided to answer
