On the question of morale
Gen. Ridgway mentioned a re-
port that an unusually large

year at West Point had re-

he said.
To strengthen spirit and mo-
rale. Gen. Ridgway said he
would review the possibility of
rotating units up to division
size, instead of just individuals.
He said. however. that unit ro-
tation might prove costly.
Gen Ridgway repeated his

Markham as associate professor
of anatomy-because it lacks
proof that she sis today under
Communist domination" - but
nevertheless has notified her she

u. 5. Mediators Seek
To Avert Strike by
Railroad Conductors
By the Assoeiossd Press

The Government stepped in
today to try to head of a rail-
road strike planned for Septem-
ber 10. possibly the first of a
series of forthcoming rail walk
out threats.
Today's meeting called by the
National Mediation Board, con-
Germs only dispute between the
carriers and the conductors
union, but all the major rail
unions are drawing up new de-
mands.
The $4,000 conductors group
scheduled it's walkout September
10 in behalf of a long-standing
demand for pay rates graduated
according to the power of loco
motives on trains the conductors

2 Unions Have Plan.
Engineers and firemen already
have such a pay system. giving
them higher pay on trains with
more powerful engines.
The mediation board called in
representatives of the union and
Of railroad associations to try to
get the strike called off pending
efforts to work out a solution.
MEANWHILE. nearly a score of
other rail unions are planning to
make new demands for pay raises
and other benefits.
Practically all the unions have
been under a moratorium against
making new labor cost demands

under previous agreements has
applied to some workers for
nearly three years. expires Octo-

Carriers Refuse.
The conductors contend their
contract allows negotiation on

7 Leaders Differ on Value
Of Medical Care Plans
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. L.
The American Hospital Associa-
ton yesterday heard two differ
ing opinions on the value OF
medical aid plans.
Welfare Secretary Hobby told
the AHA convention hospitaliza-
ton agencies were protecting
millions of Americans, but were
not doing enough.
Ritz E. Herman of the Cali
fornia Hospital in Los Angeles
said prepaid hospital care plans
make it possible "for every
worker to have his hospital bills
prepaid. Under this system he
need not worry about the hos
pital bill"
Mrs. Hobby declared the mid
dle-income American is hurt
sharply by medical care costs.
She said the upper bracket can
pay for the service, while the
lower bracket gets it for little or
no cost through public-supported
agencies.

| Full H-Bomb Defense
Costly and Doubtful,
Ridgway Declares
BY the Asseeiated Press

Gen. Matthew Ridgway, the
new Army chief of staff, believes
the Nation could neither afford
nor get a completely alright de-
fense against hydrogen bomb
attack.
Certain vital points in the
country must have minimum
reasonable protection against air
attacks, he said yesterday, but
added that current scientific
capabilities afford no assurance
that at least one plane of an
attacking air fleet could not get
through our defenses.
Should that plane drop a
hydrogen bomb the target city
would have had it, he added.
Regrets Lowered Morale.
Gen. Ridgway talked with re-
porters in his first informal
news conference since he took
over the Arrny'S No. l post. At
first he declined to permit his
comments to be attributed to
him but subsequently allowed
indirect quotation.
Gen. Ridgway deplored the
lowering of morale among mill
tary officers. One reason for
the lower morale among profess
Sional military men. he said,
was the way in which such bene-
fits as medical attention and
commissary privileges have been
whitfield down.
Gen. Ridgway also said he
sensed widespread public criti-
cism of the armed services. He
said he would order a study to
ascertain why.

New Prentiss Aide
To Report for Duty
Early in October

Brig. Gen. Louis Prentiss. the
Engineer Commissioner, said his
new assistant will report the
first week of october. His name
is 1t. Col. Thaddeus M. Nosek.
Assignment Of a third engineer
commissioner to the District will
permit one of them to devote
full time to the attack on slums
here. Gen. Prentiss about a
month ago assigned Col. Giles
Evans to coordinate the map
ping of a plan for the slums
fight.
The Commissioner indicated
that Col. Evans would be given
the task on a full-time basis
after arrival of the new assistant.
Gen. Prentiss has reactivated
a program for ameliorating slum
conditions which was adopted
by the Commissioners three
years ago. 1t was drawn by the
then Engineer Commissioner
Gordon r. Young.
City fire, police, health, in
Spection and legal officials are
working with Col. Evans to draw
up stronger regulations, and the
feasibility of an overall housing
code is being studied.
A native of Fall River, Mass,
Col. Nosek, who is 81, was grad
uated from high school in New
York, and from West Point Mill
tary Academy in 1910. He re-
ceived a masters degree in civil
engineering from the Massa-
chuSetts Institute of Technology,
and in 1888 was a company COM
mander with the 38th Engineer
Regiment.
He served in the Belgian Congo
for a while, and in November.
1943, was named battalion COM
mander of the 38th, serving in
Algeria, France, England, Bel
GUM and Holland.
In August, 1945, he became
commanding officer of the 38th.
He returned to the United States
soon after World War II and
attended the Command and
General Staff School at Leaven-
worth. Kans., and also at the
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology.
In the summer of 1948 he was
assistant professor of the de-
partment of mechanics at West
Point. In July, 1851, he was
executive officer of the 313th
Engineer Service Construction
Group at Camp Carson, Colo. He
was commanding officer of the
313th when it subsequently was
ordered to Europe and has been
overseas since 1852.

But the Communists insisted

But, Kuo said, Japan must

renounce its mutual, security
pact with the United States.
The Communist move has long
been anticipated since Peiping
this spring started sending back
about 10000 Japanese held in
China since 1945.
It appeared obvious that Red
China's twin moves are aimed at
splitting Japan from the United
States. They also hit a sore
spot.

any sizable business with China

Kuo was quoted as telling the

Japan today has been prac-

of the United States and an
American military base in the
Far East. The Chinese people
believe an independent and dem
ocratic, peaceful and free Japan

forts to keep Jewish-Arab quar-

East warfare, prepared today
to take up again the dispute be-
tween Israeli and Syria over
waters of the River Jordan.
The Council meets this after
noon to debate the Syrian COM
plant that an Israeli hydro
electric project divertS water
from Syria in violation of the
1949 armiStice agreements.
When debate on the issue
opened Tuesday, Israel notified
the Council it would suspend work
on the project for the time being.
The Council asked the U. N.
truce observation team in Pales-
tine to check on Israel's eXecu-
ton of its offer and put off fur
ther discussion until today.
Gen. Bennike Questioned.
Council delegates devoted their
meeting yesterday to questioning
Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike of
Denmark, the U. N. truce super
visor who flew from the Middle
East trouble spot last week to
make personal report.
Arab delegates charged at yes
terday'S session that there had
been Israeli threats against the
lives Of Gen Bennike and some
of his staff. Asked about it,
Gen. Bennike said he wanted
time to consider the question.
The Council agreed to meet
again next Wednesday to hear
his answer to this and several
other questions.
Israeli spokesman had no
comment on the Arab charge,
and Gen. Bennike told reporters
he had nothing to say except it
was commonly known that body
