Young, ranking member of the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
said he feared that Mr.. Benson
might not go along with some of
the promises made to farmers in
the course Of the campaign.
He was particularly concerned
about Mr.. Benson's policy on Gov
ernment crop supports, which
Gen. Eisenhower had pledged
himself to maintain at the pres
ent 80 per cent Of parity. If he
could not be reassured that Mr..
Benson would agree to this, he
said, he would vote against him
when his nomination came before
the Senate for confirmation.
The Senator apparently re-
ceived his reinsurance during the
meeting and in telephone con-
versation with MIR. Benson from
the generals office. He told re-
porters afterward that both Gen.
Eisenhower and Mr.. Benson had
promised to continue present crop
supports for two more years and
then to review the problem with
"open minds" Senator Young
said he was satisfied and would
vote for Mr.. Benson's confirma-
ton.

New Workers Await
Biggest Bus Strike
In City's History
BY the Assoeiaied Pres,

NEW YORK, Dec. 3..-Millions
of New Workers resigned them
selves today to the prospect that
the biggest bus strike in the city's
history would start at midnight.
The New Years eve Walkout
on eight privately owned bus sys-
TENS has been set by the CIO
Transport Workers Union CTWU)
in wage-hour dispute.
The eight companies take IN
about 3.5 million fares a day, and
are separate from the vast city,
owned subway, elevated and bus
system.
TWU President Michael j. Quill
last night turned down a proposal
by the City Board of Estimate
that the stoppage be averted
through arbitration.
Mayor Continues Efforts.
Mayor Vincent R. ImpeIlitteri
and other city officials will con-
tinue peace efforts today. There
was no promising sign, however,
that the 8,000-odd drivers and
maintenance men could be kept
on the job.
A union spokesman turned down
mediation and said a statement
last night by Mayor Impellitteri
was provocative"
The affected routes are in Man.
haitian, the Bronx, Queens and
the lower part of suburban West
chester County.
Mr.. Quill d1d serve notice, how
ever, that disciplinary action
against any subway worker who
refused to accept extra duty would
result in a walkout of all $4,000
subway workers.
Mayor Impellitteri, on television
and radio last night. accused the
union and bus companies Of try
ing squeeze play" intended to
force the city to sanction a fare
raise to Is cents. He said there
would be no fare increase.
Mr.. Quill said on later tele-
vision program that the union
has no interest in a higher fare.
Another Threat Cancelled.
Mr.. Quill last night Cancelled
a New Years strike threat against
a ninth company-the Queens
borough Bridge Railway Co.,
which runs trolley cars across the
bridge between Manhattan and
Long Island City, Queens.
The main issue in the dispute
is the unions demand that the
44-to-48-hour week be cut to 40.
In addition to the hours cut-with
no reduction in take-home pay
the union demands a pay increase
of 25 cents an hour. Current pay
ranges from $1.66 to $1.73 an hour.

Stronger Twin Given
Partial Brain Cover
by Plastic Surgery.
BY the Associofed Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Rodney
Dee Brodie, separated from his
Siamese twin in a history-making
operation two weeks ago, under
went new surgery yesterday as a
team Of medical men began the
procedure to give him skin COW
ering over his brain.
The 15-month-old boy, the
stronger of the twins, was on the
operating table two hours and Is
minutes and repeatedly withstood
the ordeal fairly we'll" His con-
'dition today was described as good
as could be expected.
Roger Still ''Precarious."
The surgical separation of the
twins, who were born joined at the
heads, left the boys without ma
tural caps for their heads. Roger
Lee, the other twin, has been in
q coma since the 12-hour -and-40-
minute operation on December IT.
His condition is too precarious for
any plastic procedures at this
time, physicians said.
The plastic surgical procedure
gave Rodney a skin cap that COW
cred about IS per cent of the brain
area. The cap was formed Of a
strip of skin from Rodney's body
that had been prepared in pre-
|hminary plastic procedures. The
rest of the child's brain is pro-
tected by the natural membranous
skin covering. Thus. the brain
now is entirely protected by a ma
tural shield.
Yesterdays operation by a team
of four plastic surgeons, a neuro-
surgeon, a pediatrician, an anes-
|thesiologist and nurses, was the
first Of a series Of plastic proceed
|ures aimed at removing Rodney
from the critical list. It was per-
formed to forestan a possible brain
infection and to give the child a
start toward a normal life.
Rigid Covering Due.
Later a supporting structure, in
the form of grated bone or a
PLASTIC or metal substance, will be
placed between the inner and out
|er brain coverings-the membra-
nous brain cover and the skin put
in place yesterday. That will give
his brain the rigid protection It
requires However, no date has
been set for the next step, physi-
clans said.
The operation was performed in
the Illinois Neuropsychiatric In
stitute at the University Of Illinois
Medical Center. The twins par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt Brodie of
Moline. ILL.,, were at the hospital
during the operation.

ton and some of us worked out
a plan which seemed to me to be
equitable. If that plan could be
extended to the increased popu-
lation of the District and on the
same basis, I think the matter
referred to in yours of the Oath
November) could be equitably
worked out. There is not very
much that can do about it now"
President Truman, who always
has been interested in the develop
ment of the Capital, had reference
here to the plan sponsored by the
late Senator Overton, Democrat,
of Louisiana, to allocate operating
costs on the basis Of land hold
Iings. A similar idea was advanced
later by Senator O'Mahoney.
Democrat, Wyoming, when he was
chairman Of the Senate Appropri-
ations subcommittee of the Dis
trict.
Hopes to Argue Views.
Secretary Chapman, who has
had an opportunity to study Dis
Itrict financial operations since
1888, when he came to Washing
ton from Colorado as Assistant
Secretary of Interior, said today
his report incorporated the work
of two men to whom he had as
signed the study. Planning to
establish permanent residence
here and set up law offices in
Washington and Denver, the Sec
lretary says he hopes to argue his
views on the fiscal situation here
when Congress takes UP the Dis
|trict budget
Reverting to that portion Of his
communication referring to resi-
dents who get local services with
out paying compensatory taxes,
he explained that, in his years
here, his State income tax has
been paid in Colorado, his legal
residence.
While not critical, Mr.. Chapman
believes that too much of a
temporary attitude" on Capitol
Hill, where more thought is given
to home ties, has caused the legiti-
mate demands of the District to
be passed over. This he said has
been destructive of the community
spirit that should prevail.
Had the Federal financing been
adequate over the years, he
stressed, it would not be neces-
Sary now to consider the assump-
tior of heavy municipal debt
to finance large-scale improve
lments.
AS to the Shrinkage in the tax
able area here, that matter was
|pinpointed recently by the Cfti-
lzens' Advisory Committee on
Public Works.
It said:
To-day, only 4S.3 per cent of
the land area Of the District (ex-
|cluding streets) is on the tax rolls.
Since 1910. land owned by the
United States has increased from
37.2 per cent to 42.4 per cent and
the area owned by foreign nations
and other exempt groups, appro-
priately situated here. many of
which are tax free by act of Con-
gress, has increased from 81 per
cent to So per cent"

CLEANER. RECIPE
MRS. C. c. T., Washington

tMIS. u. u. =, w WuSHUtyCUUJ
The cleaner recipe that I am
sending in is wonderful. I clean
woolen broadloom, imitation
American Oriental and my cot
ton rugS-all-and it is perfect.
Recipe: Put one cup of deter
gent, full cup or more, into a
gallon of warm water and three
tablespoons of household am
monia. In another vessel of
warm water have a large clean
cloth.
Go over the rug-small space
at a time-with a soap mixture,
first with a brush then a cloth.
Then use the rug cleaner. Don't
have brush or cloths very wet
not wet enough to go through
to the floor. Change both waters
often. You understand that
each small space gone over with
soapy water must be gone over
with the clear water before 60
ing on to the next space.
This recipe was given to a
friend of mine by rug cleaner
and you will be glad I passed it
on to you when you see how
much money it will save you.
Be sure not to get the rug too
wet and you will be surprised at
how quickly it will dry. You
may go over each space with a
dry cloth to hurry up drying.
