Virginia Phone Strike
Called as Maryland
Workers Walk Out
300 Employees Are Idle
Across Free Stote;;
Wages Are Issue

Telephone workers picketed 10
exchanges and three garages
across Maryland today in spora-
die walkouts while Virginia
awaited a full-fledged telephone
strike-already called and pos
sible at any time.
About 800 employees were idle
from Western Maryland to the
Eastern Shore in a dispute over
a new contract. The old one ex-
pired July %.
In Virginia, Robert Bailey, a
union district representative.
said he has called a strike, but
refused to disclose the effective
date and hour. The appearance
of pickets on the street will be
the first public indication the
strike is on, he added. The con-
tract with Virginia workers ex-
pired August Is.
. Maryland Agreement Near.
The disputes, between the
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. and the CIO Com
munications Workers of America,
are chiefly over wages.
Telephone company officials
said the Maryland walkouts had
not hurt service. However, Cum
berland was handling only
emergency calls" since oper-
ators there honored the picket
lines.
The exchanges reported struck
are Liberty in Baltimore, Glen
Burnie, Elkridge, Cambridge,
Hurlock, Frederick, Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Oakland and Elli-
colt City. Three garages in Bal
timore were picketed. Company
and union officials were reported
very near agreement" on a new
contract by company spokeSmen.
State Seizure Expected.
In Virginia, the C. & P. said
it would utilize supervisory en-
ployes to keep traffic as near
normal as possible in the event
of a work stoppage. Long dis
tance calls will not be affected.
State seizure almost certainly
will follow a strike. The Com
monwealth has the power. under
the States Public Utilities Labor
Relations Act, to seize and op-
crate any utility paralyzed by a
strike and numerous times in the
past has exercised the right.
Only nearby Virginia phone
exchanges affected are those at
the Fairfax, Herndon and Vienna
exchanges. The other Arlington,
Fairfax and Alexandria phone
workers come under the juris-
diction of the Washington tele-
phone union.

SEOUL, Sept. 21.-A daring
North Korean pilot today handed
the allies a sleek MIG jet
f1ghter-the deadly Red warplane
for which the United States Of
fered 100000 last February.
A Seoul newspaper said the
plane was one of the latest mod
els, a twin-jet Might.
Far East Air Force headquar-
tiers had announced it was a
MIG-15, the swift, mass produced
type which carried the brunt OF
the fighting for the Red air
force during the war.
The newspaper, Tong-a-Ilbo,
said the pilot was North Korean
captain named Noh Keum Suk
and that he flew from an air.

north of the Red Korean capital
of Pyongyang.
Believed Radar Equipped.
The Might is radar equipped
and is belived to be faster than
the MIG-15. 1t has been reported
stationed in Europe but there
never have been any indications
it was in the Far East.
The MICS guns were still
armed when it raced unheralded
from North Korea and made a
perfect landing at Sprawling
Kimpo air base near Seoul.
1t was the first MIG to fall into
allied hands in Korea. The Rus
sian-built, swept-wing lighters
never left their own air over Red
territory during the war.
The U. N. Command said the
100000 reward offered for the
first MIG to bolt to the allies is
still in effect.
There was no quick reaction
from the Communists.
Pilots Name Withheld.
At first the allies refused to
identify the flyer, but later in
Tokyo, Gen. o. P. Weyland, Far
East Air Forces commander, said
he was a North Korean.
Gen. Weyland announced:
The jet was from a North
Korean air unit"
It is being studied by United

President Will Make
Major Address
In Boston Tonight
By Joseph A. Fox
Stur Stoff CORRESPONDENT

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass,
Sept. 21.-President Eisenhower
today told several hundred
youngsters gathered here for a
farm program that the sooner
their generation is equipped to
take over the affairs of Govern
ment, the better it will be for
the Nation.
Stopping at the Eastern States
Exposition en- route to Boston
where he makes major politi-
cal speech at $50 tonight, the
President presented the All Club
Award "a banner - to young
Fred Scoralick, winner of the
Eastern Baby Beef contest, and
then in a brief talk, stressed
the Importance of youth in the
upbuilding of the country.
Significant Group.
Pointing to officials from New
England and New York who
greeted him here, Gen. Eisen-
hover said they constituted an
important and significant
group" but that the really inn
portant person here" is the boy
or girl taking part in the ex-
position.
Il can illustrate very easily
what I mean" he said. IF this
group standing here is of the
average age, say younger than
me-say they are so now-if
they are they can own, each
one of them, 80 years in the
United States. But if each of
you is lucky, you own about 70
years in the United States still
to come.
The President took off for the
New England swing from Ma
tional Airport at 9:02 am. after
a Sunday layover at the White
House following his six-week
vacation in Denver. He returns
to Washington right after the
Boston speech.
MOtOrcade to Grounds.
Gen. Eisenhower landed at
Westover Field, near SPRING
field, at 1859 am, then headed
a motorcade for the 45-minute
drive to the exposition grounds.
The Presidential lunch was
spread in a tent.
The trip is the Presidents first
to Massachusetts, since the cam
paign, when he was greeted by
enthusiastic crowds, and then
captured the electoral vote that
had been Democratic since 1924.
Both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis watched Bay State reaction
to today's visit, particularly since
Senator Saltonstall, Republican,
is up for reelection next year.
So is Gov. Christian A. Herter,
also a Republican, who scored
an upset over Democratic Gov.
Paul A. Dever in 1852.
Some Massachusetts, G. o. P.
stalwarts accompanied The Pres
ident today. Included were Mrs.
Katherine Howard, deputy civil
defense administrator; COM
merce Secretary Weeks and Mrs.
