Transit Union Hits
Cut in Service on
7 Sfreetcar Lines

The Capital Transit bus and
streetcar operators union has
protested one of the cuts in
transit service announced by the
company, it was learned yeSter-
day.
Revisions of schedules on nu-
merous lines will go into effect
November 8, the company has
announced.
George E. Odom, secretary
treasurer of the union, said the
cuts in service will mean elimin-
alton of Al jobs.
He said the union has pro-
tested the change which involves
cuts in service on two streetcar
lines. These are No. 80, which
runs between Barney Circle and
the Calvert Street Bridge, and
No. 90, between the Naval Gun
Factory and the bridge.
Mr.. Odom said that the sched-
ules inspected by union repre-
Sentatives indicate that every
ether car on the lines running
northwest to Calvert Street
Bridge is to be turned back at
Seventh street and Florida ave-
nue. NV. This will mean, he
said, that between that point
and the bridge there will be a
car every 10 minutes instead of
every 5 minutes.
PerilouS Situation Cited.
Under the contract between
company and union the COM
pany has 80 days in which to
show by checks that the cut is
justified. Mr.. Odom said the
unions protest was based on
contentious the cut in question
is too heavy and that turning
back cars on those lines at Sew
enth street and Florida avenue
N. w. would create a dangerous
situation.
In general, however, Mr.. Odom
said, the union leaves it up to
the Public Utilities Commission
to see to it that the riders get
adequate service.
The union has a schedule
committee which goes over
schedule changes to see that they
are in conformity with the
unions contract with the COM
pany.
Meanwhile, there appeared the
possibility of developments in the
g-standing dispute between
the union and the company over
improvements in the union en-
ployeS' pensions.
The union is preparing to hold
a special meeting of it's members
at Constitution Hall when that
hall can be engaged. The last

ence with armistice experts be-
fore the scheduled meeting to-
morrow with a still unknown
Communist emiSSary.
Mr.. Dean arrived in Korea
yesterday and said he was OPP
timiStic that the time and place
of a future political conference
could be arranged. He said he
is standing on a u. N. resolution
which fixed the composition of
the conference, but that he would
listen" if the Communists insist
on bringing this point up.
Will Discuss Arrangements.
The preliminary talks are
scheduled to begin at IL am. to-
morrow g PM. Sunday, EST in
the neutral zone. Allied and
Communist representatives will
meet two hours before that to
determine if the site and ar
rangements of the preliminary
meeting are satisfactory.
Gen. Dean goes to the confer
ence after top-level briefings in
Washington and Tokyo and talks
in Korea on the problem. Ar
irving with Gen. Dean was 1t.
Gen. William K. Harrison, the
man who negotiated during the
final months of the armistice
talks.
Gen. Dean also met with South
Korean resident Syngman
Rhee, who will have an observer
at the preliminary discussions.
Hopes For Quick Action.
At a news conference, Gen.
Dean said he hopes to arrive at
an agreement within 10 days to
two weeks" and that he does not
intend to let the preliminary
talks get out of hand.
Gen. Dean said he did not in
tend to allow the preliminary
meetings to develop into a "de
facto political conference"
He emphasized that the U. N.
Command would call off the pre-
liminary talks if they make no
progress and threaten to become
a Communist propagan a
vehicle. He placed no specific
time limit.
However, he added, II believe
that they Communists want
this political conference"

president, said negotiators would
make a report and a recon-
mendation at the meeting.
Another meeting between the

Moral Conflict
Rev. Mr.. Flfleld saw as the first
requisite in a working Christian
faith the recognition that the
supreme issues of contemporary
human need are moral and
spiritual rather than material"
He called that recognition getting
