France BoggedD Down

Easing in Situation
BY the ASsociafed Press

PARIS, Aug. 22.-Although a
back-to-work movement was
easing the situation, France re-
manned begged down today for
the 18th day by strikes in vital
public services. especially the
railroads.
The strikes perhaps have cost
the country more than might
have been saved by the pro-
posed payroll economies which
started them.
A quarrel between the unions
and Premier Joseph Laniels
government over the question
of firing strikers who had re-
fused to heed requisition orders
and return to their jobs on the
government-run railroad system
was keeping most trains stalled.
Information Minister Emile
Hughes, referring to the overall
picture, said "a certain con-
fusion prevails in certain sec

the situation is clearly better"
Million Workers Idle.
No official figures were avail

aY The As.eela,.d Pros.

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-The West
ern allies are turning down Rus
sia's proposal for just one big
air corridor to Berlin because
they fear 1t might prove a trap
in case Of another blockade, an
informed allied source revealed
today.
The West proved once-during
the 1948-49 blockade-that it
could feed Berlin by air through
the existing system of three 20
mile-wide corridors across
Soviet-occupied East Germany.
Allied airman are not sure an
airlift would work with just one
wide corridor. So they are TAX
ing no chances.
THE single-corridor idea is a
dead duck" q Western official
said.
This kills the only big plan
presented during flve months of
4-power talks on the problem Of
air safety over Germany.
High Hopes Fading.
The talks are continuing. But
the high hopes with which they
began have faded. Some kind of
face-saving agreements may
eventually emerge. But they are
most likely to be Of minor i'm
portance.
One thing the West wants to
make sure: Whatever changes
are made must not in any way
restrict the present aerial access
to Berlin.
There's another angle that Of

West Rejects Single Corridor
To Berlin as Possible Trap

flcials automatically refuse to

tion Of what's going on there. 1t
was easy to detect, for instance,
the recent abandonment of four
Soviet fighter bases.
Set up by four-power agree
ment right after World War II,
one corridor to Berlin runs from
Hamburg. another from Bruins
wick, the third from Frankfurt.
1t is more than 200 miles from
the north to the south corridor
at the zonal border. Each
stretches more than 100 miles
from west to east.
A single central corridor would
cut this sky view to q fraction.
The four-power talks began
last spring after a series of Com
munist fighter attacks on allied
planes threatened to develop
into undeclared aerial warfare.
In each case, the Communists
charged the allied plane had
strayed onto forbidden territory.
The most serious incident was

in which seven crewmen were
killed.

Paris. In the capital, the figure
was much lower.
A few long distance calls got
through to cities outside Paris.
A third of Paris buses were run

way trains.
However, the north coal fields

Speaking of Mossadegh, i'm

weepy old former premier would
stand trial very soon for revolt
ing against "the legal govern

MoSsadegh'S worst crime, Gen.
Zahedi said, was ordering the
shooting of several hundred per-
sons while Illegally maintaining
the premier's authority after the
Shah had fired him. The Shah
had ordered Gen. Zahedi to re-
place Mossadegh before the Shah
himself was forced to fee the

Tile Job Misses Bathroom by City Block

The surprised owner Of four
sparkling new black and white
tile bathroom walls today is
Robert Jones of TIA Allison
street, Landover Hills, Md.
Or could it be 7014 Allison
street? No, that's the home of
William r. Herbert, a victim Of
outrageous fortune.
It all began when Robert
Symonds, general manager Of the
Public Service Contractors, 1904
Georgia avenue NV. confidently
assigned three tile mechanics to
go out and do a job on MIR.
Herbert's bathroom.
About 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, a mechanic called in
to report. Everything was fine.
They'd ripped out fixtures and
flooring, they said. They'd be
finished by nightfall.
Later in the day company Of
ficials decided to go out and have
a look. They found Mr.. Herbert.
There wasn't a tile setter in
sight.
1--WE were mortified" said Ber-
nard Miller, company president.
1--WE secuted around. At TIA,
we found our men. They were
three-quarters finished"
How Gomez" demanded Mr..
Miller.
The company's new tile me-
chanic explained. Not exactly
sure of the address, they noticed
remodeling work was going on
at TIA. There was no one home,
but the key was under the milk
box. They went to work.
The telephone rang. The tile
mechanic answered and the call
er wanted to know who he was.
The workman explained he was
a tile setter.
"Oh," came the reply. "It's
about time you got there" The
tile man went back to work.
The call, it turned out later,
was from Mr.. Jones brother. Mr..
Jones was doing his own reno
vating-until fate, abetted by the
Public Service Contractors, threw
in a 5000 tile job free of charge.

DETROIT, Aug. 15.-The In

one of Americas oldest labor
groups, opened its 95th conven-
ton today in Detroit, where it's
local is celebrating its Tooth an
niverSary.
On hand for President Wood
ruff Randolph's opening gave
were more than 400 delegates
representing more than 100000
journeymen printers and workers
in allied crafts.
Mr.. Randolph's opening ad-
dress was the main item on to-
days agenda.
No business session is sched-
uled for tomorrow. On Monday
delegates begin digging into a
number of issues that might
touch off lively debates.
Assessment Increase.
One of these is a proposal to
double defense" assessments OF
members-from one-half of
per cent of wages to l per cent.
The Progressive wing of the
union, headed by Mr.. Randolph,
is backing this proposal. It says
the extra money is needed for
running union-sponsored news
papers in a dozen cities where
ITU strikes are in progress.
Leaders of the unions inde-
pendent wing are expected to
offer bitter opposition.
Just when this issue will hit
the convention floor is uncertain
but it probably will be sometime
after the middle of next week
The convention runs through
Friday.
Teletypesetter Contract.
Another subject certain to be
talked over is the unions new
contract with the Atlantic City
IN. j. Press. This agreement
contains an unprecedented clause
giving the ITU some measure o1
jurisdiction over teletypesettel
operators. These workers punch
tape which automatically sets
type when run through a limo
type. Mr.. Randolph personally
led the negotiations which re-
suited in this agreement.
Presidents George Meany of
the AF'L and Walter P. Reuther
OF the CIO will address the con-
vention Monday. John L. Lewis,
head, of the Independent United
Mine Workers, may speak later
in the week.
ITU officers are elected by mail
ballot rather than at the conven-
ton. But caucuses to select
Progressive and independent
standard-bearers will be held
Monday night. Mr.. Randolph.

Take MyWord fort 1t
By Fronk Colby

The words foment and fer
ment are often confused. Not
long ago commentator Scram-
bled them in speaking of Rus
sia'S desire to ferment another
war" He should have used the
word foment, of course. Foment
means Ito inStigate; to FOSTER"
and is pronounced: FOE-ment.
Ferment refers to the process
of fermentation, and is in no
way related to foment. 1t is in
teresting to note that ferment
comes directly from the Latin
fermentum, "leaven," from the
Latin root, fevere, ito boil" The
boiling" root was chosen be-
cause, during the process of fer
mentation, the juice of the
grapes used to make wine bub-
bles so vigorously for a time
that it appears to boil. Ferment
is pronounced: FER-ment.
Program note. President Eli
senhower pronounced program
correctly. He says: Program
(to rhyme with 60 Sam".

room: Teacher: Now, to l.

The most popular pictures OF
mountains are those which show
peaks covered with snow, but
mountains also have other in
teresting features. Often they
are without SHOW in summer and
some (but not alb of those in
the Torrid Zone are free of snow
all through the year.
A tall mountain has a timber
line on its sides. This line marks
the highest points where trees
grow.
The Rocky Mountains make up
the greatest range on this conti-
nent. This range stretches from
British Columbia down to Mex
leo. 1t has an average width of
about 70 miles in Canada, but
widenS to about 500 miles in the
Colorado-U Utah area.
Pine and cedar trees are most
common in the Rockies, but there
are oak. ash and other trees as
well. One Kind of oak reaches
a height of 100 feet in valleys,
but high in a mountain it is
only two or three feet tall, and
may be mistaken for a small
bush.
In Scotland's mountains there
are ash trees known as Rowans
or RoanS. They have been nick
named whispering trees" also
