of the 1000 employees had needed
the strike call at 6 am.
According to the company,
$500 workers out of 1900 Sched-
uled for the 8 am. shift went
to work as usual. The striking
Communications Workers of
America (CIO) said those fig
ures should be reversed, with
about 1900 refusing to work.
Also affecting parts of Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia,
the strike resulted from a break
down of contract negotiations
between the company and the
union.
The strike was called after
negotiations broke off at $50
pm. last night with the company
Offering the Washington area
workers wage increases of from
$3.50 to $3.50 a week. The
union was demanding 50 to So
and a few other concessions in
working conditions.
Commissioner Briefed.
There was no immediate effort
by the disputantS to get together
for another bargaining session.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
was given 15-minute fill-in of
the strike situation by H. H.
Vogel, vice president, and Harold
Fangboner, general commercial
manager of the telephone COM
pany.
Mr.. Spencer said there ap-
peared no reason for the Com
missionerS to step into the con-
troversy unless there should be
a serious disruption in service.
Police commanders were in
structed in a order from Chief
Robert v. Murray to give special
attention to telephone company
property.
I'm the event of disorder or
property damage to any Of the
installations of the C. & P. Co.,
commanding officers shall i'm
mediately notify the executive
officer" the order read.
There was no violence reported
but one picket was arrested at
the main office.
Picketing was in progress at
the C. & P.'s headquarters, 725
Thirteenth street NV, and II
other buildings in the area.
About 80 pickets marched in
front of the headquarters build
ing and another 100 stood by
watching.
Western Electric Hit.
Eleven other Washington CEN
trail Office buildings %were being
picketed as was the Western
Electric plant at I'LL North Cap
1tol street.
Although Western Electric is
not involved in the dispute and
workers belong to a separate
local of the CWA, a spokesman
said he expected 100 per cent
cooperation from the 281 sales
and maintenance personnel
there.
S. P. Taylor, Western Electric
manager, said work was at q
standstill at the plant after only
some supervisors and clerks
showed up.
Three Office buildings in nearby
Virginia and three others in the
Maryland metropolitan area also
were picketed. The rest of Vir-
ginia was strike-free. Some Bal
timore Offices were picketed.
Supervisors Take Post.
Company officials, experienced
from former walkouts, diverted
supervisory employees to the long

UNITED NATIONS. Aug. 28.-
India, with a curious statement
of mixed graciouSness and Bit
terness, today Withdrew from the
contest for a seat in a planned
political conference on Korea.
V. K Krishna Menon, India'S
long-haired. ascetic delegate,

by Security Council Poee A-l9
stepped to the rostrum shortly
after the United Nations General
Assembly convened to give final
approval to Western proposals
OH the makeup of the conference.
Mr.. Menon, leaning informally
over the speakers stand, said
that "the purposes of peace are
not best served by forcing a
vote" on Indias possible partici-
patton.
The U. N. Political Commit
tee yesterday approved, 27 to 81.
a resolution to invite India to
the conference, but the resolu-
ton was sure to fail in the
General Assembly, where a two
thirds majority of the yes" or
no" votes is required.
The United States, after a
vigorous campaign against the
invitation to India, piled up the
decisive votes with II Latin
American states, China, Greece
and Undertaking Pakistan.
VishinSky Voices Warning.
AS the delegates prepared to
vote. Soviet Representative An
drei VishinSky delivered a final
warning that a conference COM
posed entirely of belligerents, as
the West requested, cannot but
create further difficulties.
"A conference can only be
successful" Mr.. Vishinsky con-
tinued, IF it is based on the
principle that will lead to har-
moniouS considerations, not only
by parties in the war but by
neutrals, including neighborS of
Korea, who could not fail to be
interested in a peaceful settle
ment.
THE Soviet government can
not agrfs to a conference that
would deny access TO neutrals,
particularly the neighborS Of
Korea"
Mr.. Menon noted at the out
set today that opposition to In
dia was primarily from Latin
America. And he commented
that only three of the actual
beIllgerentS in Korea - the
United States, Greece and Co.
lombia-opposed India's bid.
Lodge Praises Menon.
Mr.. Menon volunteered that
the British commonwealth ma
tlonS supporting India had at no
time eXerted pressure on India to
get her to withdraw. He notably
failed to include the United
States in this remark. Mr.. Menon.
however, said there lis no lack
of friendlinesS or cordiality
among us Gndia and the United
StateS.)"
When Mr.. Menon finished,
delegates applauded. New Zea-
Nand, one of the sponsors of the
invitation to India, Immediately
withdrew the resolution.
American Delegate Henry

those we have come to expect

In Israeli Dispute

The United States has noti-

lean financial aid until the Is

to divert waters of the Jordan
River along the Syrian border.
Informed officials who re-
ported this today said the State
Department regards Israel's Jor-

ton of United Nations armis-
tice in the. Israel-Arab war
The notice of intent to suS-
pend American grant aid was
given about two weeks ago. The
Israel government apparently is
ignoring American protests. Lat
est reports indicate the work
force on the project has been
almost doubled and floodlights
have been brought up to permit
night work.
The United States gave Is
rael about $65 million in eco
nomic aid last year as part of
a comprehensive plan to better
living conditions in the Middle
East.
The specific amount Israel was
to get from this years fund has

Haufrecht is by no means an

forms played by many orchestras
in this country and Canada. The
