Striking Actors
Vote Tomorrow
On TV Film Pact

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. Is R1.-
Members of the AFL Screen
Actors Guild vote tomorrow
night on an agreement which is
expected to end the Today ma
tionwide strike against producers
of television entertainment films.
The unions directors ap-
proved a new contract proposal
yesterday. A spokesman said it
represents "a good deal" for
actors and that it is fully ex-
pected they will vote approval"
Details Of the proposal will not
be disclosed until the member
ship meeting tomorrow. If APP
prevail is given. work will resume
on TV entertainment films
Wednesday.
Negotiations were between
the Guild and the Alliance of
the Television Film Producers
and the Association of Motion
Picture Producers.
John L. Dales, Guild execu-
tive secretary, said the strike
was called because of the re
fusal of the producers of filmed
television programs to agree to
make any residual payment
whatsoever to actors for the
second run of a video film" He
said under the former contract,
actors collected residual pay
ments on the third to sixth runs
of films in which they appeared
Many producers did not i'm
mediately feel the effects of the
strike since they had backlog
of films completed.

Held Probable 4-F
By IS Standards

George Washington probably
would have been declared 4-F
by today's medical standards
when he reported for active duty
as Commander -in-Chief of the
Continental Army. an article in
the August issue of American
Heritage indicates.
The article, entitled "A Medi-
cal Profile of George Washing
ton" is by DR.. Rudolph Marx,
surgeon and medical writer.
The magazine says that a re-
port on Gen. Washington's medi-
cal history would have shown
that he had suffered from ma
laria twice. smallpox, tubercular
pleurisy, influenza, and two at
tacks of dysentery by his early
30s.
Nevertheless, I'VE have no
record that Washington was
ever incapacitated all during the
Revolutionary War" the article
says. adding:
"The continuous strain of his
responsibility and the conscious
ness of his mission kept on slim
ulating his adrenal glands, rails
ing his normal powers Of endur-
ance. resistance and immunity.
Destiny kept alive and well the
only man of his time who could
lead the American Revolution
to victory"

Marian Micheloti, energetic
anti Communist woman's leader
who had been angered by the
Reds refusal to let her sex vote.
Most of the group from America
came by chartered plane last
week.
The emigrants spent a busy
week end visiting relatives and
friends to tell them what de-
'mocracy had done in the United
States and to urge support of
the Christian Democrat cause.
The emigrants wore neckties,
new suits and armbands that
read Christian Democrat emf

waited patiently in line with the
local residents, some of them
for hours, to get to the polling
booths.

Union President Walter j.

asserting the union had not dis
charged its obligation to the
public. "either was uniformed
or misinformed."
I'VE have been completely
aware of the public interest,
Mr.. Bierwagen added. That is
why we offered to settle the dis
Ipute by arbitration long before
the strike started"
Mr.. Giddings had no direct
comment to make on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's statement. but said the
company had made its position
clear in a letter President

missioners' reasons for asking

Both company and union Off

The transit bill gives the
Commissioners authority to
make a contract with Capital
Transit tor year. The District
would have to stand
good for any operating losses
from increased labor costs dur
ing the year not Offset by fare
increases.
The bill also give the Com
missicners the right to INTRO
duce transportation other than
Capital Transit during the year
Although it is not spelled out,
Commissioners also believe they
have the right to seek a court
receivership for Capital Transit
AS a last resort for ending the
strike
Salary Raises Possible
If a contract is written with
Capital Transit, officers salaries
will remain frozen during the
year, but salaried employees in
addition to union members may
be given appropriate increases. >
At the same time service is re-
stored to Washington, it also
may resume in suburban Mary
land, under another provision of
the bill. The Maryland Public
Service Commission already has
agreed to cooperate in this.
At the end of the year, the
Commissioners may order Capt.
tai Transit Co. to pull out its
streetcar tracks and repave.
This has been estimated to cost
IS million.

Sharett Regime
Quits in Israel

JERUSALEM, Aug. Is R.-
Premier Moshe Sharett pre-
scented his governments resigna-
ton to President Izhak Ben-Zvi
today in preparation for the first
meeting later today of Israel's
third parliament, the Knesset.
Premier Sharett's cabinet will
remain in Office as a caretaker
government until a new govern
ment is formed and approved by
the Knesset.
The resignation followed the
countrywide parliamentary cleo
tons July 26. Premier Sharett's
party retained its place as the
largest faction in the l20-mem-
Der chamber but won only 40
seats, a loss Of five.
Mapai leader David Ben-Gu-
rion. Israel's first prime minister,
is expected to be asked to form
the new government after the
converting of parliament. Be-
cause of his party's reduced
holding in parliament, it may
take several weeks of negotia-
tons before he can put together
a coalition that can command
a majority.

SAN MARINO. Aug. Is P.-
The 1,600-year-old little republic
of San Marine has chosen to
remain a Communist isle in
Western Europe for four more
years.
Ninety-seven San Marinese
who now live in Detroit, New
York and SanduSky, Ohio, failed
in their 18th hour transatlantic
attempt to win their countrymen
over to Western democracy IN
yesterdays election.
Instead the Communists and
their Socialist allies won a stun
ming victory in this 3s-mile-
square hilltop nation, perched
in the Apennines inside Italy's
border.
Rulers Since 1945
The Reds and Socialists-their
political machine entrenched
here since 1945 and operating
with military precision-literally
carried the old. halt and blind
to the Is polling places for yes
terday's balloting.
To counterfeit the influx OF
crusaders from America, the
Communists gave hundreds OF
sympathetic San Marine work
ers free trips home from Bel
GUM. France, Switzerland and
Italy.
AS a result. the Reds probablS
will control 81 seats in the go
seat legislature. the grand
council. Previously they had held
only 81. The council elects the
two captain regents who head
the government
Final results today showed
the Leftists rolled up a total Of
3,008 votes to 2,257 for the
Christian Democrats and their
allies. The Red margin OF VIC
tory had been only l27 votes in
the 1851 election.
The figures. with 1851 totals
in. parenthesis were: tCommu-
nists. 1869 1905. Socialists
1889 (985D; Christian Democrats
POLL 19l7l; pro-Western So
cial Democrats. 246 t248).
Political observers had watched
San Marino closely to see IL the
voting would reflect a decline
in Communist strength reported
recently elsewhere on the Ital-
ian peninsula.
The Red victory, however, was
not expected to produce any
startling change in the little re-
public. The Leftists have tried
to boom tourist trad and pro-
mote commerce. They have
enacted no real Communist or
socialist legislation.
There were no disorders. The
only excitement occurred when
a policeman fired a shot by mis-
take and brought other police
running. The voters filed quietly
to the polls. They were mostly

Criticizes Both Sides
In an accompanying state
ment, Mr.. Eisenhower criticized
both the company and AFL
Transit Union for failure to dis
charge their obligation to the
public"
He said he was opposed to
settling labor disputes through
Legislation and was signing the
bill for an entirely different
cogent reason"
He noted Congress had estab-
lished a direct relation with the
company 20 years ago in re.
serving the RICH to fix its termi-
nation date, as it had done in
the bill.
Moreover" he continued
both the Congress and the
Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia have concluded that
Capital Transit Co., beginning
several years ago and continuing
up to the present time, has
failed to measure up to its re-
sponsibilities as a public utility

But Mr.. Wolfson indicated his
belief that, with Capital Tran
sits demise, Washington's tran
sit troubles have just begun be-
cause of the probability that
public ownership will follow. He
blasted the legislation, which he
said President Eisenhower had
no other choice but to sign.
Mr.. Eisenhower may have
helped clarity one point in the
language of the bill which had
been open to various interpreta-
tons. This was Congress inten-
toni, in specifying that Capital
TranSit'S charter, as well as
franchise, will be cancelled.
There was uncertainty wheth-
er the charter cancellation would
occur as soon as the bill was
signed, or one year later, when
the franchise dies. Mr.. Eisen-
hover said in his statement they
both would die at the end Of the
