work.
The workers at the plant have
been on strike for higher wages
since October 10, which caused
the plant to cease operations.
After series of charges direct
ed toward the union and counter
charges against the company, COM
pany officials decided TO try and
break the three-week strike by
employing "Strikebreakers."
In a letter to the members of
the striking union, r. c. Nor
row, president of the company, di-
rected the striking workers to Ell
ther return to their jobs or they
would be replaced by other
workers. The company gave the
men until Monday. November 2,
to return to their jobs.
A few of the union members
apparently scared by the compa-
nys directive crossed their own
picket lines and returned to work.

strikers have gone back to work

Cooper said the new Republican
administration was nut in office
by people who wanted to be GER
tain that of adequate defenses. It
would be negligent and even GRIM
inal, he added, if the new admin
istration failed to ask Congress for
sufficient funds to "assure the ma
ton of an adequate and reason
able defense"
Any decision by Eisenhower to
increase military outlays materi-
ally would reverse the Truman adj
ministration's stretch-out program,
with resulting repercussions on in
duStry.
It probably would unbalance the
budget further and delay tax re-
auctions giving the Democrats
ammunition for the 1854 congress
sional campaign.
Some Democrats apparently have
sensed the Presidents dilemma
and have taken steps to get them
selves on record.
In recent speeches, Senator's
Lyndon Johnson Of Texas, the min
ority leader, and Symington Cd
MOI, former Air Force secretary,
attacked what they called the mil
itary lethargy of the Truman ad-
ministration.
At the same time, they put the
political spotlight on Eisenhower's
coming decision with the implica-
ton that if it is what they call
the r-before-guns approach
they viii tell the country about
it in no uncertain terms.
A decision the other way, how
ever, could cause trouble with Taft
and such other Republicans as Sen.
Bridges of New Hampshire, chair
man of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Bridges said no one has even

ing.

WASHINGTON IN - President
Eisenhower's advisers were re-
ported sharply divided today on
whether to increase or decrease
the as billion dollar military pro.
gram proposed by former Presi.
dent Truman.
A responsible official who asked
not to be quoted by name told
this reporter the matter has been
discussed frequently at Cabinet
meetings without any agreement
among opposing factions.
This official said the issue prob
ably will be checked to the Ma.
tional Security Council for the
opinions of its members, but that
in the end Eisenhower himself will
have to make the decision which
may affect the whole political and
fiscal structure of his administra-
ton.
One segment of the Cabinet is
reported insisting that military out.
lays must be reduced If Essen.
hover is to carry out his goal Of
balancing the budget.
Eisenhower reiterated that goal
Just yesterday, ina speech in which
he said the budget must be brought
under control before taxes can be
cut.
Sen. Taft Of Ohio, the Rspubli
can leader, is one of those who has
taken the view that military spend
ing must be cut to balance the
budget. Taft says only ia or two
billions can be cut out Of civilian
portions Of the 1914 billion dollar
Truman spending budget for the
fiscal year starting July i.
On the other hand, Eisenhower
is said TO have been told by one
group of advisers that Truman's A
billion military program won't give
the country the kind Of security Il
needs in the face Of Russian atti
tudeS.
This group has been talking In
terms Of adding anywhere from
10 to Is billions to the Truman
figure, a move that would bring
the country close TO about pre-
paration for war and cut heavily
into the civilian economy.
Eisenhower has taken no posi-
ton on the matter thus far, the
official said.
AS yet, Secretary Of Defense
Wilson has not offered the Cabinet
even any tentative figures on mil
itary spending for the year be,
ginning he believes ought to be
spent In foreign aid.
Sen. Cooper (R.Ky) proposed
meanwhile, that a special Senate
investigation Of ammunition sup.
plies be expanded 10 check upon
the adequacy Of the entire defense

Rigid Inspection
Pilots, Equipment
Is Recommended

WASHINGTON, RAThe House
Armed Services Committee will
tell the Air Force to tighten its
program for training and select
ing transport pilots as a means
Of reducing air disasters, chair
man Short R-MO said today.
He told a reporter the first
phase of an inquiry into recent
military crashes also had shown
a need for more rigid inspection
Of equipment.
The committee is specifically
probing the cause Of seven mill
tary disasters which cost 233
lives during November and De-
cember. These include aviation's
worst accident which killed 81
servicemen at Moses Lake, Wash,
Dec. 20.
The inquiry will be continued
in public hearing Tuesday,
after which the committee will
make specific recommendations,
Short said.
Short commented, "The human
factor was big element in all
Of these accidents. We will re-
commend a better training pro-
gram, and particularly the use of
more care in changing pilots from
one type of plane to another"
He said the Air Force should
require pilots assigned to Alaska
and other more difficult runs to
fly for longer periods over the
terrain as co-pilots, before taking
over the controls.

and Japan was reported missing
today over south Idaho.
Fort Lawton authorities said it
was one Of several chartered

The, planes destination was
Fort Jackson, Miss.
Fort Lawton reported 38 mill
tary passengers aboard. The two

four.
If the plane crashed after its
last radio report over Malad City,
Idaho, it would be the first dis
aster for a plane carrying rota-

It would be the 18th crash of

Alaska or Korea since a tragic

an Alaska crash of a Clio.
The list of victims of the series
of disaster would be raised to
