Singapore Reds
Blamed in Tieup

, SINGAPORE, June 9 (P). -
Sympathy strikes by 10000 fac
tory, transport and dock worker!
threatened today as Singapore.
Government struggled to enc
three walkouts and prevent
Communist-inspired rioting.
The 40,000-member Singapore
Factory and Shipworkers Union
warned it would call stoppage
within 48 hours unless a 40-day-
old strike of 1900 harbor board
clerks is settled.
The leader of the union, Lin
Chin Siong, is a legislative as
sembly member from the extreme
leftist Peoples Action Party
After a strike sparked riotine
May IL in which four persons
were killed and 36 injured
Colonial Secretary w. A. C.
Goode charged Inns party was
'riddled with Communist back
seat drivers"
More WalkoutS Threatened
Leaders OF. unions numbering
80, 900 workers in the harbor and
at the big British naval base
also threatened to walk out In
support Of the harbor board
| clerks. ~
In addition to the harbor board
strikers, 800 workers are picket
ing a Firestone Rubber packing
plant and 1900 are out at a
British-owned drainage equip
ment plant.
In all three walkouts better
wages and working conditions
are sought.
Chief Government Minister
David Marshall declared today
that sympathy strikes are "ut-
terly uncalled for" and will
"paralyze" Singapore's economic
life.
Police, obviously worried lest
large-scale rioting break Out
again, banned assemblies OF
speechmaking near premises
where workers are on strike
They also reinforced patrols.
They acted after groups o1
Chinese school students were
seen talking with strikers. The
police blame the May rioting or
Chinese students. High schools
they attend have been infiltrateo
by the Reds.
Scores of Singapore residents
have written to urge Mr.. Mar
shall and his Labor government
to use more force against stu
dent demonstrations. Marshall
however, said the students should
be "nursed."

improving cultural and other re.
llations aside from formal diplo.
matte contacts.
It was this quality of the in.
vitatiOn which so impressed State
Department officials and led to
speculation that the Russians
had made a final decision, as one
diplomat put it, to establish q
detente upon the status quo"
In everyday terms, that means
simply to relax and accept the
situation as it is.
Hence the belief that Russia Is
prepared, for all practical pur-
poses, to forget about serious eff
forts to unity Germany and deal
with the eastern and western
sections of the country as SOW
lereign and separate nations.

BONN, Germany, June 9 up
Chancellor Konrad Adenauel
is prepared to meet Russian
LEADERS, a West German govern
tment spokesman said tonight
But he added that the meeting
will not necessarily take place
in Moscow.
The spokesman said Mr.. Ade-
nauer has insisted there should
be an exchange of opinions be-
tween West German and Rus
sian experts before the place
and time Of the meeting are
fixed.
This exchange of views has al
ready begun in Paris. he said.
The exchange between experts,
the spokesman added, will last
several weeks" This was fur
|ther indication that no final re-
|ply will be sent to Moscow until
Mr.. Adenauer talks with Presi-
dent Eisenhower and other
Western statesmen in Washing
ton and New York next week. He
leaves for the United States Sun

Red Tone Hints
Acceptance OF
Two Gernanys'
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press stan Writer

State Department oficials
suspect the Russian Government
has decided to accept the East
West division Of Germany as
being more or less permanent.
If that is true, it could have
a profound effect on the Big
Four talks proposed for Geneva
next month since the unification
of Germany is supposed to be a
primary problem for considera-
ton.
Speculation about Russia's S
German policy arises from the
Soviet invitation to Chancellor
Adenauer to visit Moscow and
discuss establishment OF diplo-
matte relations.
There is another possible
meaning. AS an alternative to
accepting "two Germanies" per-
manently, the Moscow govern
ment could be setting out on a
course which will lead it even
ltually to scuttle the Communist
lpuppet regime in East Germany
This possibility is regarded by
Informed officials here, however,
as almost too incredible to con-
: template.
Standards Upset
Yet the standards for judging
Soviet behavior have been so up
set by Moscow's agreement to
. such things as the Austrian in
, dependence treaty and the
; Khrushchev-Bulganin mission to
, Yugoslavia that the experts are
reluctant to rule out even the
most extreme explanations.
In the background of Russian
motivation officials believe there
are strong needs for trade with
the Western world and especially
!, with highly productive West
Germany. Probably a dominant
desire is to WOO West Germany
away from its alliance with the
United States.
h The Federal Republic under
Mr.. Adenauer's leadership is the
far more populous, powerful and
productive portion of the divided
country. If the Soviets have
reached the point of trying to

lister Nehru, appeared NOR
concerned today with whethe
West German Chancellor Konrat
Adenauer will follow him a
Moscow's distinguished guest.
The press and radio reflected
intense interest in whether tht
West German leader will accept
the governments invitation tt
come here and discuss establish
ment of diplomatic, commercial
and cultural relations.
(In Bonn, a government
spokesman said Mr.. Adenauer
is prepared to meet the Rus
SLAMS somewhere, sometime,
but not in the immediate
future and not necessarily in
Moscow
Mr.. Nehru still received much
attention in the newspapers, but
the governments Izvestia anc
the Communist Party's Pravds
devoted whole pages to the
Adenauer invitation and reports
of German and other foreign
reaction.
Much more space was given
the subject than was given

fore his Belgrade conference with
Premier Nikolai Bulganin and
Soviet Communist Chief Nikita

SCARED for a quick end to Brit
aims railroad strike as union
chiefs and government nego-
tiators sat down today for their
first full talks since the work
stoppage began IL days ago.
London newspapers and some
trade union observers said the
strike that has slowed the ma
Ition's industrial boom might be
over within 48 hours.
Today's session lasted two
hours and then recessed until
tomorrow. Informed sources said
views were traded. Hopes con-
Itinued high.
The peace talks began at the
Ministry of Labor minutes after
Queen Elizabeth II warned in
a speech opening Parliament OF
"the grave situation created by
the interruption of the railway
services"
The $1,000 strikers Of the As
sociated Society of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen were
represented by their executive
council. On the other side was
the British Transport Commits
sion, managers of the state
owned railways.
Mediator Is Chairman
The Labor Ministry assigned
1Sir Alfred Neden, its chief me-
diator, to serve as chairman.
Before meeting in joint Ses-
sion, the two groups conferred
separately on their strategies.
The prime aim of today's
talks was to find a basis for end
ling the stoppage and then pro-
lceed with wage scale negotia-
tions.
Agreement to negotiate was
reached in a preliminary confer
ence yesterday between ASLEFs
general secretary, Jim Baty, and
Sir Brian Robertson, Transport
Commission chairman. At the
lend of yesterdays conference
they said in a joint statement:
Both sides are agreed that
there is now nothing which pre-
vents them from dealing with
each other in q spirit Of mu-
itual confidence in the good faith
of the other"
Insists Strike Be Ended
! Sir Brian made it clear the
commission still insists the strike
must be called off before it will
discuss the unions wage de-
mands.
ASLEF is seeking a raise of
SLIP a week over present base
pay of $27 80 to restore its mem
Ibers' customary wage differen-
Itials over those of less skilled
works. The differentials were
narrowed last January by pay
boost given other railroaders,
who belong to the 400, ,00o-mem-
ber National Union of Railway
men.
The MUIR has served notice
that if ASLEF's demands are
met, it will call for matching
lpay increases. The commission
has asked the two unions to get
together on an overall wage
scale. MUIR agreed, but the
striking ASLEF men declined.
The powerful Trades Union
Congress has formulated a peace
plan calling for immediate nego-
Itiations without a return to
work. Preliminary talks on a
small temporary wage increase
would be begun at once between
the union and the commission.
If agreement is reached, the
strike would be called off and
negotiations would begin on a
new wage scale for the entire
industry. Only then would the
MUIR be consulted.
Aslef approved the plan but

Tips Given On
Reseeding Range

Bozeman - Buying a grass
seed for reSeeding range is much
like buying a truck or a car -
the kind you pick out must fill a
definite need on the ranch" says
Karl Parker, extension range spe-
clallst at Montana State College.
On most ranches, he said, the
greatest need is for a longer green
grass season since green grass fur
nlsheS the cheapest high quality
feed for livestock and when ami
mails have plenty Of it they make
the most money for the rancher.
The right combination of grasses
and legumes will extend the green
grass grazing for two weeks to a
month.
For the rancher who needs ear
ly spring pasture for calving or
Landing, Parker recommends
crested wheatgrass because Of its
earliness and high nutrient con-
tent. A new strain called Nordan
or Mandan ST. is easier to estab-
lish and has fewer failures. This
strain has large, uniform seeds
which makes seeding easier.
intermediate wheatgrass and
smooth bromegrass r good
grasses to carry the grazing load
after it is time to move off the
crested wheatgrass, Parker said.
Both grow taller than crested
wheat and in time will form sod.
Livestock like intermediate wheat
grass and bromegrass even after
crested wheat begins to harden
and mature. Seeds of intermediate
are large and produce vigorous
Seeding plants. However, this
grass cannot withstand too much
dry weather and its moisture re-
quirements are about the same as
for wheat grain.
With ample moisture in most
parts of Montana this spring, in
termediate wheatgrass should be
a good bet for range reseeding,
Parker said, and seed is plenti-
full and reasonably priced. Smooth
bronze grass seed is readily avail
able.
Another useful grass for range
reseeding, according to the range
specialist, is Russian wild rye. It
is a top performer for late pas
ture II even after native range
no longer produces gains on live
stock. The natural curing proper
ties of Russian wildrye make it a
very good fall and winter pasture.
In Canada, even after wintering.
Russian wildrye tested ten per
cent protein as compared to six
percent for bromegrass and four
percent for crested wheatgrass.
Parker points out that high pro-
tein content often means high
phosphorus and vitamin A values
in grasses.
Although it is harder to estab-
lish than crested wheatgrass,
Russian wildrye is long-lived and
very drouth resistant. Even at
present high prices the seed is a
good buy when it is considered
that the stand will probably last
for 30 years or more.
County extension agents, Parker
said, are prepared to give ranchers
assistance in choosing grasses that
are adapted to the locality and to
the particular site where the
planting is to be made.

Vets Mail Bag
Veterans with Complaints On
Housing Told of Warranty


Veterans who purchased houses
through Veterans Administration
guaranteed or insured loans, and
who subsequently have found GER
tain construction features which
they consider sub-standard, are
reminded by VA that houses
bought after October l, 1854, car
ried a warranty for one year that
the homes meet VA approved
plans and specifications.
With the coming of Spring, sew
eral VA offices in the Northwest
states have been receiving COM
plants from a small number of
veterans that their houses were
unsatisfactory for various reasons.
VA, in most cases, makes a study
of the complaints to determine
validity of the claims. VA officials
report that many of the complaints
r not concerned with construc-
ton or grading, but with matters
over which VA has no control.
The one-year warranty required
on all houses on which VA issued
a certificate of reasonable value
after October 1, is mandatory I'M
der the Housing Act of 1854,
which says that all new housing
purchased with the aid of VA or
Federal Housing Administration
financing must carry the war
ranty. VA reminds veterans, how
ever, that the warranty does not
apply to existing homes which
have been occupied more than a
year.
Builders or sellers of new hous-
ing are required to give each vet
eran-purchaSer a warranty, and
a copy of the warranty on which
the veteran has acknowledged its
receipt, must be forwarded to VA
by the lender before VA will
guarantee or insure the loan.
VA reminds veterans dissatisfied
with construction that they must
file notice of substantial non
conformance with plans and spe-
cifications' with the builder or
seller within one year from the
date the veteran takes title, or the
house is initially occupied, which
ever is the earlier.
VA emphasized that the one-
year warranty is in addition to
any other rights and privileges a
purchaser or owner may have I'M
der any other law or instrument.
1t will be up to the purchaser, VA
said, to enforce his rights under
the Warranty
