Union Asks Court
To Order Arbitration
OF Transit Dispute

A transit union attornev todav
asked the u. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia to
order the Capital Transit CO. to
accept arbitration of a pension
plan dispute.
The action seeking declara-
tory judgment and a mandatory
Injunction was filed by Attorney
Bernard Cushman in behalf of
Division $50, Amalgamated As
sociation of Street, Electric
Railway and Motor Coach En-
ployes of America (AFL).
The complaint charged that
the transit company has vio-
lated terms Of a bargaining
agreement by refusing to accept
arbitration of a union request
for increased pensions.
The complaint asserted that a
subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee investigating
transportation here had found
that the pension question re-
quired arbitration.
According to Mr.. Cushman
company employees are eligible
for a fat $40 per month pension
after IS years of service and
upon reaching IS years of age.
He said the union is seeking a
minimum pension Of $75 monthly
with an increased scale based
on earnings and length Of serv-
ice.
The suit asserted there is dam
ger Of a strike If the arbitration
request is not complied with and
that the delay in arbitration is
causing irreparable injury to the
union and its employees.

Cary Offered
S|um Program
Inspection Post
Public Health Aide
Wants to Study Job
Before He Decides
By. Miriom Ottenbera

William Cary, jr., director of
public health engineering, has
been offered first chance at the
new job Of bosSing the city'S
housing inspection and enforce
ment, but he said today he wants
to know more about it before
he makes up his mind.
The Commissioners decided
yesterday to merge all housing
inspection and enforcement in a
new unit to be set up in the
Department of Licenses and In
spections.
The decision relieves the
Health neutrality-suspicious.
ly Mr.. Cary's unit-of all re-
sponsibility for housing inspec-
ton. Mr.. Cary was recalled from
a vacation as soon as the plan
became known to help prepare
the health departments oppo-
sition to putting housing ex-
clusively in the Department of
Licenses and Inspections. Mr..
Cary said he had worked day
and night on that.
Job Offered Yesterday.
In deciding on the merger, the
Commissioners announced they
were considering g putting a
Health Department official at the
head of it. Commissioner Renah
Camalier, who has Jurisdiction
over the Health Department,
said he offered the job to Mr..
Cary yesterday afternoon.
"The whole thing is so preci-
pitious," said Mr.. Cary today. "I
want to see more of what the
whole thing is about. where the
division Of responsibility is going
to be.
81 am primarily public health
person. I've got to make some
determination of where the in
terests Of the people are going
to be placed. It hasn't been put
together yet in a form where I
can say where my interests lie.
have been in, public health
work for 80 years. Its a little
hard to get interested in build
ings as against people"
One Person RESPONSIBLE.
The Commissioners assigned
their Department of General
Administration to work out the
details of the merger. The
thinking of those working on
this reorganization puts the
stress ton making one person
responsible for seeing that the
District moves forward with its
slum rehabilitation work. t
Drafters of the program visu-
alize it this way:
The director of the Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspections
would have direct responsibility
for planning program, develop
ing the regulations to carry it
out and making sure they were
properly enforced. He would
maintain the liaison with the
Redeyelopment Land Agency
and the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority on policy matters.
Under him would be the chief
of the new housing division en-
visioned by the Commissioners.
He would assist in drawing up
the regulations and would op-
crate the program.
The Commissioners are trying
to get away from the foot drag
ging" and "buck-passing" which
they think has characterized the
city's attack on slums.

Hur,,Or In Soviet
Union Must Haze
'SOcidL COntent''

NEW YORK Up - Even humor
in the Soviet Union is supposed to
have social content"
Soviet cartoonists, humorists and
SatiriSts find almost all their en-
ployment in propaganda work for
their government. They get pretty
caustic too.
This was underlined by a recent
Krokodil cartoon lampooning for
mer us. Defense Secretary James
FOrrestal's suicide following a ner-
vouS breakdown. 1t showed him
bound in straitjacket and land
ing on his head.
The us. government protested
the cartoon. The Russians returned
the protest note to the American
Embassy in Moscow, refusing to
accept it as unworthy"
In the foreign affairs field the
chief target is always the United
States. A cartoon in KomSomol
Pravda showed a Soviet version of
Uncle Sam unloading a large box
on the shore of country labeled
Guatemala. The box bore the leg
end United Fruit Company" and
was half tipped over, with bombs,
grenades and little saber-brandish-
ing Guatemalan "rebels" all roll
ing out. of it. 1t was intended to
illustrate the Communist thesis
that the United States started the
Guatemalan uprising.

Silent Screen
Siren Reported
GraueIy W

HOLLYWOOD Up - Theda Bara,
the heavy-lidded siren of the silent
screen, is reported gravely i'll in a
hospital after surgery.
The Los Angeles Times says she
underwent an emergency operation
yesterday for appendicitis and
complications.
To most of the present genera
ton she is only a name, dimly
associated with the fantastic days
when movies couldn't talk. But to
those who remember the films of
80 or IS years ago Theda Bara is
the original vamp - the slinky
siren of "a Fool There Was" en-
twined in satin and long strings
of beads.
She made 40 pictures between
1919 and 1923. But since 1921 she
has been chiefly Mrs. Charles j.
Brabin, a directors wife who gave
up her career many years ago.
Her age is a carefully guarded
secret, but 10 years ago the col
umnists were saying she had
passed so.
