Further, the group. headed by

their proposal to pay an annual
ground rental of $81 900 for use
of the 76-acre Area B land is a
minimum figure.
These statements were made

Dockers' Union Orders
Atlantic Coast Tieup
MenAre Told
To Walk Out
Immediately

NEW YORK, Sept. IL R.-
The International Longshore-
mems Association independent,
today ordered an immediate
strike of members in all Attain
tic Coast ports in support Of the
New York waterfront tieup.
After a meeting with union
leaders, Capt. William v. Brad
ley, lila president, sent the fol-
lowing telegram to 400 locals
along the coast from Canada to
Puerto Rico:
"It has become necessary to
cali a general strike of our Or
ganization in order to preserve
the LILA. You are hereby ordered
and directed to stop work imme-
Idiately in order to gain our OBJ
jectiyes. To be specific, this is
la general strike"
Charge Double Cross"
Earlier in the day the union
cancelled a back-to-work move
in this port which followed an
effort yesterday for an armistice
lin the unions long-standing
dispute with the New York-New
Jersey Commission, which super
vises waterfront operations.
Leaders of the ports 10000
dock workers charged that they
had been "double-crossed."
Activities were at a standstill
Everywhere but In Brooklyn,
where 1000 men reported for
work this morning. apparently
in some degree because of the
confusion caused by the unions
Iabout-face.
The port paralysis. costing an
estimated 81 million a day busi-
ness loss. went into its sixth day
when Capt. Bradley told the
workers not to return, just q
few hours after the walkout ap-
lpeared ended last night.
The men remained away as
hiring bosses blew their whistles
at pier heads to start the days
work at 3 am.
Hartman Renews Plea
Late in the morning New
York's Gov. Averell Hartman re-
newed his appeal for an imme-
diate end to the walkout.
Stating again that dockers'
grievances would receive a fair
hearing from the New York
New Jersey Waterfront Commits
sion, Gov. Hartman told the
union men in a telegram that
delay in returning to work will
be disastrous to industry and
labor and to all the people de-
pendent on the port"
Capt. Bradley went to the
North River waterfront just be-
fore the hiring hour and con-
ferred with Thomas Gleason, the
unions general organizer, who
passed the word that the strike
was still on.
Capt. Bradley then issued the
following statement:
An agreement was reached by
the union and officials of the
New York State Legislative Com
mittee. After the agreement
was made, pressure was put on
the legislators not to go through
with it. We called the strike OFF.
Then they said no agreement
We were double crossed. We are
not ready to make recommended
|tions to the men at this time.
This proves again the longshore-
men are a political football"
The union, leader referred to
"a short-lived agreement reached
yesterday between the LILA and
a representative of the New York
State Joint Legislative Commit
tee on Industrial and Labor Con-
ditions for a hearing of workers
complaints.
Pact Repudiated

Parley
Tightly SnarIed
On Top Issues
Germon and Soviet
Leaders Cont Even
Agree on Statement

MOSCOW. Sept. IL UP. =
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer OF
West Germany and Soviet Pre-
mier Nikolai Bulganin met again
today and found themselves SC
far apart on issues dividing the
two nations that they were un-
able even to agree on a state
ment for reporters.
A German informant said
they were as far apart as when
the German-Russian consulta-
ltions began last Friday.
They met to hear reports from
their Foreign Ministers. who
conferred for an hour and a half
earlier in the day. A German
spokesman-Felix Won Eckardt
said Foreign Ministers Helm
rich Won Brentano and v. M.
Molotov also were unable to
agree.
Due TO Leave Wednesday
One German source said Mr.
Adenauer and Marshal Bulganin
were continuing their talks at
an elaborate Kremlin reception.
There may be another meeting
tomorrow, but arrangements al
ready are in the works for the
German, conferees to 60 home
Wednesday.
While Mr.. Won Eckardt de-
clared no progress had been
made and that basically the nor
malization talks were at the
same place they were when they
opened last Friday, a somewhat
more optimistic view was ad-
vanced by Leonid Ilyichev, the
Soviet press chief. Mr.. Ilyichey
told reporters the foreign min
listers had q sincere exchange Of
Iopinions and "judging from the
fact they decided to report to
their heads of government. one
can Judge that there were some
results"
| Still Far Apart
Mr.. Won Eckardt said the two
countries we're still Just as far
apart as ever on such questions
as the German war prisoners. re-
unification and means Of estab-
fishing normal relations.
Mr.. Adenauer has said release
of German prisoners and a start
on German reunification were
major parts of his position.
The German delegation has
tentatively scheduled its depar-
ture for Wednesday. A spokes-
man told reporters the next "a
hours probably would show
whether the parley was dead
Ior not.
Soviet Premier Bulganin de-
Iclared at the grim Saturday ses-
Ition that he considered it "in-
|expedient" to discuss the pris-
Ioner question and that he want
led the East German regime tc
take part in any such talks.
Coincident with the start OF
Mr.. Adenauer's talks with the
Russians, the East Germans an
lnounced they and the Soviets
had agreed August % on the re-
lease Of most" Of the captive
Germans.
| German sources in Moscow
said the Bonn government prob
ably would hold talks about the
prisoners with the East German
regime. but that only low-level
Representatives would participate
ls0 as not to imply recognition
of the Red government.
/ Mr.. A d en- auer entertained
Marshal Bulganin and other
Soviet leaders yesterday with
German food and wines al
luncheon in the luxurious coun-
TRY villa assigned him outside
Moscow. During the fete Marshal
Bulganin proposed a toast OF
|"health and long life" to his
l79-year-old host.
The luncheon apparently was
designed to improve the at
mosphere created by the heated

because Of a last-minute teacher
shortage which developed last
week. Some principals found
1t necessary to reaSsign INTENDED
classes to other groups. which
caused some crowding.
There was crowding for sim
pier reasons, however. Large
numbers Of first-graders and
kindergarteners poured into
many schools, taxing some Of
them beyond normal capacity
and requiring use Of emergency
space.
One New School Opens
Only one new school started
operation today. This was Moten
Elementary. at Elyans and Morris
roads Sc. Draper Elementary,
at Ninth street and Wahler
place Sc, assigned 10 classes
of children to q new third door,
however.
Opening time produced no. re-
ports Of difficulties connected
with the integrated operation in
the District. although the great
majority Of the city's schools
were affected.

cipal Lynn Woodwork reported
the days start "as smooth as
silk" At Raymond Elementary
School, which enrolled many
colored children for the first
time q year ago. Miss Mildred
Green. the principal, said:
"It's just like it's been for the
last 100 years"
Last year about three-fourths
Of the city's 1853 schools were at
least slightly integrated. This
fall Supt. Hobart M. Corning has
predicted that integration will be
extended further.
Additional colored pupils en-
rolled at some formerly white
schools this morning. New coll
ored teachers in some cases were
at desks In the classrooms.
Wilson High Integrated
Woodrow Wilson High School
enrolled its first colored pupils
and also acquired its first colored
teacher. The pupils, a girl and
boy, viii be in the 10th grade.
They formerly attended Francis
Junior High. The teacher will

istry.
At Bell Vocational High School,
Principal Lester T. Walter esti-
mated about is colored students
registered this morning. The
school had one colored student
for the second half of last year.
A number Of pupils Of both
races registered at H. D. Cooke
Elementary School, Seventeenth
and Euclid streets NV. which
acquired its first colored children
q year ago. More pupils showed
up than were expected.
1900 Are Transferred
Some 1900 elementary pupils
were transferred today. many in
connection with integration. The
influx Of new and transferred
pupils created waiting lines at
many schools and kept teachers
and principals hustling.
At Richardson Elementary
School, Fifty-third and Blaine
streets NE, where many pupils
spent most of last year on
double shifts, another bumper
crop Of new pupils reported.

Yale Plans Study
OF Urban Seaboard
BY the Assoeia,ed Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Mar. rs
The directors Of Yale Univer-
sity's graduate program in city
planning announced today they
are going to make an intensive
study of a city 900 miles long.
For those unaware that a city
of that size exists. Professor
Christopher Tunnard says that
the Eastern Seaboard from Port
land, Me-. to Norfolk, Va, "is. in
fact, a gigantic linear city"
ANY person who has driven
the length Of this area. or ridden
on a train through it. cannot
help but have noticed the almost
solid urban aspect" added
Professor Tunnard.
The researchers hope to learn
about population movement,
industrial trends, road. rail and
air transportation. cultural
aspects, civil defense. recreation
and the relationship between
built-up and agricultural districts
in the area which holds more
than 20 per cent of the nations
population although it comprises
only per cent of the land.
Included in the area are II
metropolitan centers - Ports

field, Mass: Providence. r. l.;
Hartford, Conn: New Haven,

no inclination to ask for an open
rule.
However. Speaker Rayburn
and Majority Leader Mccormack
have been putting the pressure
on the Tennessee Democrat and
the latter is reported agreeable
to seeking an open rule if the
postal groups will agree to the
So per cent compromise figure.
House Democratic leaders are
hopeful of reaching an agree
ment this week that will lead to
a House vote on postal salary
legislation.
Eisenhower Reported Firm
Classified employees have a
great stake in all this, since the
outcome of postal pay raise legis-
lation win determine what
amount viii determine the fate
of classified pay as well.
President Eisenhower is re-
ported by House and Senate Re-
publicans to be more adamant
than ever that no Federal pay
legislation should exceed 7.6 per
cent for postal workers and 6
per cent for classified employees.
One Senate Republican said
Congress action during the past
week in rebuffing him on this
issue has angered him. II think
the President feels that this is
the worst defeat he has ever
suffered at the hands of Con-
gress and he is determined not
to YIELD" this Senator said.
Hopeful on Compromise
Several other Republicans,
however, say they are still hope
full that a pay raise compromise
can be reached and be signed
into law by the President.
A number Of House and Senate
Democrats say they are not at
all sure that the President would
again veto a pay raise and pre-
dict that even if he did, there is
a good chance that Congress
would override.
Since the Senate eliminated
the provision which would have
made the pay increases retro
active to January l and there is
no retroactive clause in the pend
ing House legislation, Federal
employee leaders are anxious that
Congress take final action as
soon as possible. The increases
would become effective on the
first payday following enact
ment into law.

the Houses return from the
Easter recess, since the House
Civil Service Committee has not
yet reported a pay bill for CLASH
fed employees. Although the
House committee has finished
hearings on classified pay, it has
decided to see what raise the
House will vote postal workers
before it reports the classified
bill.
The Senate on Friday voted
a 10 per cent pay boost for postal
workers and an average 10 per
cent increase for classified en-
ployes.
Whether the House acts this
week on postal pay legislation
may depend on the decision OF
postal employee union leaders
to agree on an 80 per cent bill
Rebuff Administration Move
Last week the postal union
leaders had agreed to accept
an amendment to the rs per
cent Redistribution bill approved
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee, which would add another
$40 each to the increase of each
clerk and carrier. This would
bring the bills overall average
increase to 80 per cent.
It was in this atmosphere that
the House overwhelmingly de-
feated a move by the administra-
ton to bring up the 7.6 per cent
bill under suspension Of the rules,
which would have barred any
amendments to the measure.
The Houses action in defeat
ing the suspension of -the-rules
procedure referred the measure
to the House Rules Committee.
On open rule by this group Is
needed before legislation can be
brought up for House action with
amendments allowed.

Pressure Put on Murray.
Representative Murray. as
chairman of the House Civil
Service Committee which report
ed the postal pay bill, is the one
who normally would ask for the
rule. However, Mr.. Murray has
opposed any attempt to increase
the rs per cent amount and led
the move to secure suspension
of-the-rules which would have
banned any amendments. Con-
ssequently. Mr.. Murray has shown
