They know how to count and
even add a number or two.
For Columbus Day both divi-
sions made "The Nina" "The
Pinta," and 'The Santa Maria"
This Friday they modelled clay
boats.
All the children love the two
periods week that Mr.. Heath
visits their class. They enjoy les
sons in rhythm and like to listen
to the records.
Oh, so many first graders have
had chicken pox and measles.
Fourteen of Mrs. Coons' children
have been out all this week. Those
with perfect attendance from Mrs.
Nerland's division are:
Robert Fagerstrom, Linda Len
ert, Richard Miller, Corrine Pa
wok, Patrick Straub, Nora Ting

Rail Workers End
Wa|kout Against
Steel Subsidiary
BY the AssOei0ssd Press


PITTSBURGH. April 4. -
Railroad workers today ended a
five-day strike over the disciplin-
ing Of two conductors and ac-
cepted full blame for the un-
authorized walkout which idled
nearly $4,000 steelworkers and
cost them 50 million in wages.
The strike against the Union
Railroad, a whol1y-owned SUBJ
sidiary Of United States Steel
Corp, directly involved only
$500 members of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, but
spread to four big steel plants
and resulted in the loss of 1885,
900 tons Of steel ingot.
It Stemmed from To-day
suspensions given two conductors
on charges they failed to put in
o full days work.
Under the terms Of the agree
ment, the BRIT acknowledged the
two conductors involved in the
dispute were "at fault for par
ticipating in the showdown and
the carrier was justified in
suspending them"
The railroad agreed to return
the conductors to work and pay
them $188 each in back wages
subject to 30-day probationary
period.
Steel-making facilities at four
huge United States Steel plants
crippled by the walkout, should
be back to normal operations by
Monday.
Government negotiatorS got
the BRIT and management to
agree after round the clock
talks.

Lawyer Seized Again
As Draft Evader

The FBI announced today it
had. for the third time, arrested
a former Washington attorney
on a charge of draft evasion.
Richard Alden Jevons, a, was
arrested late yesterday at Board
man, Ohio. Jevons had been
dividing time between Boardman
and Youngstown. Ohio. where he
operated a driving school.
A one-time divorce lawyer here
operating from his home in the
1900 block of Saratoga avenue
NE. Jevons also worked as a
night engineer at a radio station.
He was first arrested near Los
Angeles aboard a ship on which
he served as radio operator in
November, 1914. He was charged
with failure to appear at a Dis
trict draft board for induction.
The FBI said he jumped bond,
but was arrested again in WASH
ington in April. 1945. carrying
$4,000 in cash. Indicted by
grand jury, he again jumped
bond and disappeared.

that the allied questions assume
details could not be solved later,
step by step. and that an arm
istice in Korea cannot be re-
allied at all"
The delegations return to the
conference hut Wednesday at II
am. 90 pm. EDIT, Tuesday,.
Gen. Clark said the Commu-
mist plan had been studied very
carefully" He declined to say
when the allied counterproposal
would be laid before the Com
munists, saying he only used the
word shortly advisedly.
Although light planes stood by
to fly the U. N. commander to
the truce camp at Munsan, Gen.
Clark stepped into a staff car
and presumably was taken to
9th Army headquarters.
Part of the Red plan suggests
that 48,50O North Korean and
Chinese prisoners refusing to re-
turn home be turned over to a
neutral commission for four
months, during which time Com
munist representatives would ex-
plain things to them. The fate
of those still refusing to return
would be decided by a political
conference, the Reds suggest.
Gen. Harrison hammered hard
at that key point.
"It is obvious" he told the
Communists, that If after the
period of explanations by the
agents of your side there are
still those who resist repatriation
it will only be because these men
are absolutely determined not to
return to your control.
Humane Course Urged.
"That being so, We don't see
why you should insist on further
effort to get them by means of
political negotiations. If the
rights of such prisoners are
worth anything it would seem
that the proper and humane
course is to release them rather
than force them to be repatria-
ated.
why don't you agree with
that?"
North Korean Gen. Nam II,
chief Red negotiator said his
delegation already had answered
all the Allies questions (which
possess a certain degree of i'm
portance and which require con-
crete answers. :"
He dismissed the others as
questions of administrative de-
tail"

By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK. May IA Sen

Voice of America a more effec-

Julius Ross, acting chief of
the Voices engineering division,

future operations must consider
the probability that "the cold

on his tax cutback bill. He
again urged his House colleagues
to sign the petition. which needs
218 names but has only about

He conceded that income tax
reduction June 80 instead of
December 81 would cause a rev.

Fewer Riders Cited
In Fare Rise Plea

A decrease in Government
employees in the Washington
area is a factor in the decline
in passengers on the Alexandria,
Bancroft & Washington Co.'S
lines, Beverly c. May. company
president. today told the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at
a fare increase hearing.
Examiner r. Edwin Brady
opened hearings on the COM
pany's request at the ICC head
quarters. The hearing concerns
lines between Washington and
Alexandria and all intermediate
points along their routes in Ar
lington and Fairfax Counties.
Separate hearings have been
set for May Is on an increase
on lines between Washington
and the Pentagon, Navy Annex
and National Airport.
A. B. & w. now has a 20-cent
interstate fare for which the
passenger can use a 1212-cent
token and a nickel. The COM
pany seeks to eliminate the
token, resulting in a 2ll2-cent
increase for the token rider.
But in one II, which includes
South Arlington County and
part of Alexandria, no cash in
crease is sought.
In the companys other zones
where the present fare is 20
CENTS it wants an increase to
IS cents. A similar scent in
crease is sought in other multi
pie fare zones.
In opening testimony today.
Mr.. May declared the company
is seeking higher fares also be-
cause of increased competition
from automobiles.

Most G. o. P. leaders oppose
Mr.. Reeds drive for an II per
cent individual income tax cut
June 80, six months earlier than
it is scheduled to take effect. The
New York Republicans unf1at-
tering remarks about the White
Houses surrender to the SPEND
ers" did not endear his tax
cut plan to other Republican
chierG4'nG,
But Mr.. Reed is chairman of
the House Ways and Means
Committee. Any request by the
administration to extend the ex-
cess profits tax beyond June 30
would have to be approved by
that committee All Republicans
and most Democrats on the COM
mittee stand with Mr.. Reed in
wanting both tax provisions to
expire June 30. The committee
voted overwhelmingly in favor
of the Reed bill.
Talk of a possible administra-
tion request for continuation Of
the excess profits tax, at least
to December 81. was revived yes
terday at the Capitol in view of
the latest estimates that the
Government will run into the red
not only for the current fiscal
year but also for the year start
ing July /.
$5.9-BiIliOn Deficit.
Those estimates came earlier
yesterday from the staff of the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Internal Revenue Taxation.
Mr.. Reed, who is chairman of
the joint committee, said that
on the basis of the present rate
of Government spending, the
staff reasonably predicted, $50
billion deficit for the 1854 fiscal
year.
The deficit might be trimmed
to about $40 billion by sale of
various Government facilities
and mortgage bonds. he COM
mented But ne emphasized
that a deficit can be avoided
only if the administration and
Congress make major cuts all
along the line. He commended
