Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,

our work very much" Gin the
defense of Europe).
To another question. he said
he thinks the agreement sis a
step toward" the European De-
fense Community, but he COM

siastic for the EDO plan" The
French Parliament killed the

army.
Gen. Gruenther said Germany
eventually will produce some of
her own weapons, but he noted
that under terms of the London
agreement she must not manu-
facture atomic, biological or

Agreement Reached, ,
Strike Of Dockers
To End tomorrow
BY the Asseeiated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. GA day.
old strike of IS 1000 longshoremen
will end at 8 am. tomorrow. an
international Longshoremen's
Association official announced
today.
Patrick j. Connolly, executive
vice president Of the independ-
ent union, made the announce
ment after a meeting of the
unions Wage Scale Committee.
Along the paralyzed water
front it had been believed the
men would return Immediately
after the meeting of the COM
mittee called to ratify a peace
formula reached last night by
union and shipping representa-
tives with the help of Federal
med1ators.
Mr.. Connolly said tomorrow
was chosen for resumption of
work because union locals also
had to ratify the agreement.
Meantime, waterfront pickets
remained on duty,
New Pact Approved.
Mr.. Connolly said the Wage
Scale Committee voiced 100 per
cent approval of the new pact
and added:
"It's everything we asked for.
We knew we were right. The
Government realized and New
York City reaiizedsthat we had
a legitimate right to get retro
activity.
Anyway, it was the shortest
strike in history here, lasting
practically only one day before
an agreement was reached"
Terms of the agreement we're
announced by Federal Mediator
John Andrew Burke after a 21a-
hour talk last night with union
leaders and representatives of
the New York Shipping Associa-
ton.
Retroactive Pay Raise.
The settlement included pay
ment of an Scent hourly wage
increase retroactive to October
/, 1858, which employers esti-
mate will cost about 81 million.
In turn, the union would pledge
not to strike again for As days
while attempts are made to ne
gotiate a new contract.
The wage increase would
bring longshoremen's pay up to
$2.35 an hour.
Specifically at issue in the
dispute was the unions de-
mand for immediate payment
of an hourly 8-cent wage
increase and a 2-cent in
crease in welfare benefits, both
retroactive to October /, 1858.
Although the employers offered
to pay the wage raise as de-
manded and the welfare increase
back to last April /. they baked
at any payment unless coupled
with a contract covering the
next two years.

Democrats have chosen their
candidates. }
He can escape the expense of
a primary campaign by announc-
ing his Independent candidacy
and go on the ballot after the
primary.
Disliked by G. 0. p.
Conservative. regular Repub-
licans out here dislike Senator
Morse intensely. They say tnat
six months ago, had Senator
Morse been up for reelection,
he could not possibly have won.
But in 1856 they are not so sure
he can be defeated. He may
win. they admit. If he should run
as an Independent with the
Democrats indorsing him and
placing no candidate against
him. Or he may win in all prob
ability if the Democrats should
nominate a conservative Demo-
crat and make it a three-cor-
nered race.
So far, no Republican has
made a move to catch the Re-
publican senatorial nomination
against Senator Morse two years
hence. A number of potential
nominees have been mentioned,
including Secretary of the In
terror Mckay and the present
acting Governor. Paul Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson was president Of
the State Senate when Mr.. Nc
Kay, Governor in 1852, resigned
that office to go into the Eisen-
hover cabinet. Oregon has no
Lieutenant Governor and under
the law the president Of the Sem
ate becomes acting Governor
when there is a vacancy.
Thinks He's Too Old.
Secretary Mckay calls atten-
tion to the fact he will be So
years old in 1956-too old he
thinks for a man to begin a first
six-year term in the Senate. So,
unless he should change his
mind, he will not be a candidate,
preferring to return to Oregon
after completing his service as
Secretary of the Interior. He
might, it is true, continue to. hold
that Office should President Eli
senhower be reelected.
AS for Mr.. Patterson, he is the

Joe Jackson, the Democratic
nominee who was at one time
time head Of the United States
Maritime Commission.
To become a candidate against
Senator Morse, Mr.. Patterson
will have to win the governor
ship.
Whether Senator Morse can
win reelection, running on the
Democratic ticket against Re-
publican candidate in a straight
two-man race is another ques-
ton. He would have to win the
Democratic nomination in the
primary-unless the Democrats
should let him have it without
opposition.
There are a number of more
conservative Democrats, how
ever, who have no more use for
Senator Morse than the conserv-
ative Republicans. They might
oppose him in a primary. or vote
against him in a general elec-
tion. Senator Morse counts on
enough independents, Republic
cans and Democrats to put him
in Office. should he have Demo-
cratic nomination.
Sees Democrats Winning.
Senator Morse exudes conf
dence the Democrats will win
in Oregon and that thly will
elect a Democratic House and
Senate countrywide. He claims
that Mr.. Neuberger will defeat
Senator Gordon and that the
Democrats will take two of the
four House seats now held by
the Republicans.
He has thrust the Mccarthy
issue into the senatorial cam
paign, calling upon Senator
Gordon to tell the voters how
he will vote on a motion to
censure Senator Mccarthy when
the Senate meets November 8.
This Senator from Oregon" ="
Senator Morse says, referring to
himself, has not hesitated to
range himself against Mccarthy.
How do you, Senator Gordon,
stand on this issue?" And he
goes on to say that Mr.. Neuberger
would certainly vote against
Senator Mccarthy if he had the
chance.
Senator Gordon replies that he
will wait until he has heard the
debate in the Senate before he
says whether he is for or against
censure for Senator Mccarthy.
Senator Morse insists that senti-
ment in Oregon is strongly
against the Wisconsin Senator
and his methods of conducting
Investigations and treatment Of
witnesses.
In his determination to cut
down the Eisenhower Republic
can administration, Senator
Morse is campaigning in eight
States outside of Oregon, for
Democratic congressional candi-
dates. They are New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, Montana, Washington
and California.
Already, he has spoken a dozen
times in South Dakota, against
Senator Mundt, Republican, and
three times in Illinois, where he
is supporting Senator Douglas,
Democrat. He plans, however, to
spend the last. 10 days of, the
campaign wholly within Oregon
where his own fate as well as
that of Mr.. Neuberger hangs in
the balance.

FREDERICKSBURG. Va. Feb.
20.-The Ferry farm. where
George Washington spent his
boyhood days, scene of the cherry
tree legend and the coin throw
ing across the Rappahannock, is
about to change hands.
The purchaser will be Letcher
Stoner, Fredericksburg hardware
merchant. whose principal pur-
pose is to save it from being sub
divided into building lots.
He intends to make modest
beginning at restoration by re-
pairing the one building on the
place believed to be a survivor
Of the Washington ownership.
1t is q very small, one-room
affair. of the type used as an
Office on the old plantations. 1t
is known as George Washington's
surveying Office. Today it is an
appendage of a much larger
farm building constructed at a
much later date.
Mr.. Stoner will tear down the
larger building, replace rotted
timbers and boards in the old
structure. plant some lockwood
about it and see If the public
really Is interested in visiting
this spot which Is so important
In the George Washington story.
Disappointment, Illustrations.
The story of the attempts to
restore the Washington place is
one Of disappointments and frus-
tration. And it has not helped
the morale of the local people
who have worked for the resto-
ration to have every wealthy re-
cruit to the movement express
surprise that the money was not
raised years ago.
The Washington residence was
still standing when Parson Ma
son Locke Weems wrote the first
biography of George Washington
right after the death of the
Father of His Country" He
wrote: "The house in which he
lived is still to be seen. It lifts
its low and modest front of faded
red over the waters of the Rap
pahannock."
The house burned down about
1920. Sometime early in this
century j. B. Colbert. a Fred
erickshurg contractor, bought the
