French Strikers Give
Signs Of Weakening;
Holiday Intervenes
BY the Asseeioied Press

PARIS. Aug. 15.-The long,
costly series Of French strikes
today appeared to be running
out of steam. It was still too
early to say when the work
stoppageS might end or that
there would be no recurrence.
No new walkouts were an
nounced yesterday, and a few
small-but perhaps significant
breaks were appearing in the
strikers solid front.
Although most demonstrators
still were off their jobs, there
was no way of estimating the
real strike strength. Today is
Assumption Day, normally a
holiday. The big test will come
Monday and Tuesday, when
many workers are due to resume
their tasks.
Newspaper Strike Slated.
The only new strike scheduled
is a one-day walkout for news
paper plant employees Monday.
The unions have agreed. how
ever. that the publishers would
be permitted to shut up shop
today instead of Monday if they
wished.
A Communicated attempt to
spread the strike among labor
ers as well as civil employees
apparently has failed so far.
Official sources estimated that
two million persons actually quit
work although strike calls went

They Can't Ride likes Coottoi|s
So Says Old Timer Disturbed by Effort of Some Democrats
To Do What He Says Many Republicans Foed at in 50

-"Oh. If you are going to talk
about principle, that's some
thing else. I'm talking about
politics. OF course they should
have voted the way they did.
I'm just saying they won't find
as much political nouriShment
in it as many of them seem to
think they will. They might
just as well try to win by prov
ing they are as fond Of golf as
Ike is and furnishing records
to show they play just as often.
If they do"
"Okay, What would you do?"
It'd concentrate on the bad
things done by this Congress
and the failure Of the admins
tration to keep its promises.
I'd advertise the new mess in
Washington. There's always a
mess in Washington, and it's
only a matter of attaching
the right party label to it,"
Sounds pretty cynical to
me. In that connection, don't
you give the Republicans who
voted against Ike's wishes
credit for sincerity, for be-
lieving they were doing the
right thing?"
Eyes, in a sort Of way.
They're mostly the Republi-
can veterans. They got so in
the habit of voting against the
White House while the Demo-
Gratis were in that they find it
hard to stop doing it."

14th Air Force Group
Awards Scholarship;
Convention Ending

Several hundred former mem
bers Of the Air Force who fought
the japanese from bases in the
interior of China are concluding
a three-day convention at the
Mayf1ower Hotel today.
Guests of honor include Gen.
and Mrs. Claire L. Chennault
and several officers of the COM
bat group which began as the
Flying Tigers and was reor-
ganized into the 18th Air Force.
Gen. Chennault, one-time COM
mander of the Flying Tigers, is
now head Of an airline in the Far
East.
Scholarship Presented.
One feature of yesterdays ses-
sion was the presentation of a
$4,000 college scholarship to 13-
year-old Paul Taber of Seattle,
Wash.
Each year the association pre-
sents scholarship to a promis-
ing student who Is the child of a

At an informal session between

to tell how he buzzed Brig. Gen.
E. E. Glenn's residence in China

started home for Christmas late
in 1914.
Flight Intercepted.
Col. Neal denied that he
famed a few tiles off the gen.
erals roof, although he was OBJ
liged to admit that some 14th
Air Force fighters intercepted
him with orders that he return
to Running.
The colonel's departure was
delayed for four days. Later. in
Karachi, India, en- route home,
he received a wire from Gen.
Glenn. It said:
"All is forgiven. Bon voyage.

Beats anything I ever saw"
said the Old-Timer.
What does?"
"The way some Democrats
think they are going to take
over Congress next year by
riding on Ike's coattails."
But"
mo butts about it. Every
time you pick up a paper or
turn on your TV there's some
Democrat piously proclaiming
his loyalty to the better part
of the Presidents program or
kidding the Republicans be-
cause they haven't been sup
porting him as much as the
Democrats have. And pro-
ducing the Congressional Rec
ord to prove it."
We'll, if it's true"
What if it is true, and I
guess maybe it is, so far as
their votes on foreign policy
are concerned. I'm thinking
Ike'S coattails aren't good
enough to carry the Democrats
back in"
You mean he is losing his
popularity"
Not a bit. No signs of that;
not yet. I mean he never had
that much popularity. Ike
carried 297 congressional dis
trictS last year. How many
did the boys trying to ride his
coattails carry? Only 221.
That's how many Republicans

Still No Sign of Break.
There still was no indication
of any abrupt break in the
strikes. Trains apparently still
will run only spasmodically.
Long-distance telephone calls
will be next to impossible to
make. Almost no mail will be
delivered. Local bus and subway
transport will be curtailed.
The government has made no
move to give in or talk to any
union leaders while the strikes
go on.
Paris newspapers have COM
pared the current walkout with
the 1886 strike wave which
helped produce a leftist popular
front government in France.
Communist and Socialist leaders
are calling for higher wages, as
in the 1886 strike, but their labor
following is not involved this
time.

Eisenhower Signs
II More Bills Plus
His Golf Score Card
BY the Associofsd Press

DENVER, Aug. 15.-President
Eisenhower acts today on the
final batch of the more than 200
bills which Congress sent to him
shortly before it adjourned.
There was a hint from Bernard
M. Stanley, the Presidents spe-
cial counsel, that some Of the
remaining 18 measures might be
vetoed.
Mr.. Stanley, talking to news
men at the Presidents vacation
headquarters at Lowry Air Force
Base, said none of the 18 bills
was Of major Importance.
Some had required more than
the usual amount of study be-
cause Of policy precedents which
approval or veto would establish
for the new administration, he
said. He cited one bill in that
category as an example, a meas
ure designed to prevent discrim-
inatory legislation against In
dianS.
Signs 21 Bills, Plays Golf.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said Mr..
Eisenhower had no special plans
for the week end and that he
probably would just take it easy
in Denver, where he is staying
at the home of Mrs. Eisenhow-
er's mother. Mrs. John 8. Doud.
The President got in another
round of golf yesterday after
spending about three hours at
his desk. He signed 81 bills into
law.
One bill trims the special pref
erence war veterans may claim
over non-veterans in getting
Federal Civil Service jobs.
The law takes effect in so days
and makes two basic changes in
present laws.
Under the present system, per-
sons qualify for most Civil Serv-
ice jobs on the basis of scores on
competitive examinations. Hon
orably discharged war veterans
are allowed to automatically add
five points to their test scores
and disabled veterans to add 10
points.
Provisions Explained.
Those provisions stay in effect
but the new law prohibits vet
Grams from adding these pref
erence points to their scores if
they don't make a passing score
Of 10 on the examinations. Pre-
viously, they could add the points
to their score whether or not
they got a passing score.
This system has been attacked
by veterans organizations and
others because it allowed some
veterans to pass the examina-
tions and qualify for Federal jobs
only on the basis of the addi-
tional points.
The new law also requires
veterans to have at least a 10
per cent service-connected dis
ability before they can move to
the top of q job list for which
they qualify by examination.
Previously, veterans with service
connected disabilities were given
this right even though the dis
ability wasn't serious enough for
them to warrant a rating Of 10
per cent or more.

Martin Maley Death
Recalls Local History

Word has been received here Of
the death, at Forth Worth, Texas,
on FEBRUARY 6, 1853, in his oath
year of Mr. Martin Maley, a ma
tive of Garrett county who for
many years had been "A resident Of
Texas.
Mr. Malcy was born in 1859 at
what then was q we'll known little
village, 40 Water Station, popular
ly referred to as Forty" east Of
Swanton ON the l7-mile Grade.
This village with population Of
perhaps IS now has disappeared
entirely. When young man Mr..
Maley worked on the Grade as
tackman, with his older brothers
Thomas, John and Hugh, for some
years. The family purchased what
is known as the Charles Day
farm, near Deer Park in 1877-7S,
and Nh Maley lived there until
after his marriage to young
summer resident Of Deer Park
whose home was in Philadelphia.
In 1888 he and his bride moved to
Philadelphia. Mr.. Maley was the
last of his generation, a younger
sister, Mary widow Of the late
Lindsay IIoeuc, Of near Deer
Park, having died some years ago
in Akron, Ohio.
For many years Mr.. Maley oper-
ated as a well drillcr in the gas
and oil fields Of the southwest He
drilled in many states and even in
Canada, and was much interested
when in recent years natural gas
was discovered in the neighbor-
hood of his old home in Garrett
County. He recalled that he had
drilled 100 wells as a wildcat"
operator, of which about seven
were profitable. His largest well
was one Of 125,0O0,00O cubic feet
near Amarillo, Texas. Here there
is gas sand 773 feet in depth as
compared with usual depth of less
than 10 feet in most other regions.
This field is approximately 2S0
miles long and about 10 miles
wide, and still produces heavily.
Nh Maley, who possessed re-
mmkable memory, liked to rcmi-
nisce about the days when, in his
teens, he worked ais a water boy
on the l7-3lile Grade for Foreman

mission to Peru, had brought back
a number of Llamas from the An
