A NEW CALENDAR?

considerable support has been voiced in the United
Naons in favor of the adoption of world calendar
Inc new calendar would make every of the
the same number of days nineyone days and thirteen
weeks.
Moreover, the four quarters would be identical in
that the first month of the quarter would contain thirty
one days and the second and third months would contain
thirty days. February would always include thirty days.
To solve the problem of Leap year. and other adjust
ments the calendar would provide for a day -
Worlds Day which would follow December 30th every
year. Another Worlds Day would be held every Leap
Year, and would follow June goth every Leap Year
The new calendar is arranged so that each month
contains twentysx week days Four of the months
tain five Sundays but the weekdays remain the in
all of the months. Each New Year would begin Sun
day, January LIST, and each working year would begin
on Monday, January End.
Every quarter would begin on Sunday and would end
Saturday, and Worlds Day, followed December
S0th every year, would be world holiday.
India proposed in the December meeting of the Econ
omic and Social Council of the u N that the question of
the calendar be put the agenda for consideration
BY vote of 1872, the proposal accepted, the only
two nations voting against it being the United States and
Great Britain. 20
Although there absentees in this voting, in adj
dition the two negative votes there is to be-
eve that majority of nations at the u N is in favor of
the Indian proposal The primary for this sent
ment is the fact that the moon makes its circuit around
the earth in twenty-nne and one-half days. while the
earth makes complete circuit of it's orbit in about three
hundred sixty-five and one-fourth days.
The new calendar would also allow dates such as
Easter to be stabilized The effort reform the calendar
has been actively pushed for the last fifteen twenty
years. and was supported by fourteen nations when the
League of Nations submitted the question to all
ments in 1887.

achieve what must eventually be achieved in the way of

oar mas been good enough for many generations that

This week Capa met Ernie's fate.
He stretched a gamblers luck too
far, went to one too many wars. A
land mine caught him in some OBJ
scure town in Indochina, and
turned a fine man into 4 great
memory.
War up front, Is Bob himself
has said, is "dreary and unspectac-
ular." There is little to catch the
cameras eye. but Capa had the
high art Of being at the right spot
at the right moment to catch the
unforgettable picture.
Bob was an exponent Of 1.-THE big

war that the routine Of it bored
him. But on the big stories-the
paratroop drops in Sicily and Ger
many, the invasion landings at
Anzio and Normandy, the relief of
besieged Bastogne-Capa liked to
be in the first wave, although he
was as afraid Of death Is most
men are.
In his autobiography, "Sligh&ly
Out of Focus" he tells Of brooding
over what chances to take In the
Normandy landing-whether to 20
ashore with the first troops or wait
until the beaches were safer.
This is a decision every CORES
pondent makes for himself, and
Capa, mulling over the difference
between the war correspondent and
any other man in uniform, wrote:
II would say that the war cor.
respondent gets more drinks, more
girls, better pay, and greater free
dom than the soldier, but that at
this stage of the game, having the
freedom to choose his spot and
being allowed to be q coward and

Work Stoppage Ends
BY the Associated Press

CAMDEN, N. j., April 10
Workers at the New York Ship
building Corp. returned to work
today after settlement of their
four-day work-stoppage over sus-
pension of 81 union officers.
An agreement was drawn up
yesterday and approved unan-
imouSly by the workers, members
OF Lodge 801, International
Brotherhood of Boilermakers.
Under the agreement, reached
after almost round he-clock ses-
sions, the union waived it's right
to file grievances for pay lost
during the four days and also
during a brief walkout last Fri
day.
Last weeks walkout resulted
in the suspension of the 81 men,
which touched off this weeks
shutdown. The settlement yes
terday made the suspension,
which was for four days, stand.
The union agreed in both cases
that the walkout and work stop
page were violations of it's con-
tract.
New York Ship waived it's
claim for monetary damages re-
sulting from the shutdown of it's
operations. but stipulated in the
agreement that it reserves the
right to take such action as it
deems appropriate to recover" &C
tual damages to corporation
property.
