record for the company.
The company has one policy
that might be applicable to
Washington conditions at this
time. According to a recent
round story on transit companies
and their problems in the Wall
Street Journal. the company has
a standing offer to sell any OF
its lines to any city that feels
lit could run the line better.
The company also has a policy
of no arbitration Of wage dis
putes. The paper quoted a COM
Ipetitor Of National City as saying
that company has "a real,
though hardboiled, wage negotia-
ton policy. They know what
their costs are and absolutely
refuse to submit wage questions
to outside arbitrators whose
main concern often is to pre-
vent a strike and get the city
out of an unpleasant situation.

Dr.. Urey Urges System
OF World Government

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 GA man
who helped make the bomb
which destroyed Hiroshima 10
years ago called today for a
system Of world government as
"the only alternative to the de-
Istruction of civilization by atomic
warfare"
Scientist Harold C. Urey was
the main speaker at a memorial
meeting on the University OF
Chicago campus marking the an
|niversary Of the destruction Of
the Japanese city by the atomic
bomb DR.. Urey helped develop.
In his address, DR.. Urey said
atomic war between East and
West will not be avoided be-

solved this problem, but it must
be solved in some way before

Later. he amplified some of
his remarks to reporter, say
ing:
"A system Of world govern
ment is the only alternative to
the destruction of civilization by
atomic warfare. The world is
mot ready for government

a number of years, but we must
move In that direction. We must
face UP to this problem and stop
engaging In wistful thinking.
There must be a general
trend in the direction Of larger
government extending beyond
the nationalistic levels" he said.
THE United Nations is not a
solution-really, not even a step
in the right direction-but it is
not valueless because 1t provides
a forum which could incubate a
solution"
DR.. Urey said "the range of
modern weapons is literally the
entire earth and there is a like
lihood Of a capacity to destroy
all life on earth"
"Only one method has ever
been developed for settling HUI
man disputes by means other
than war, and "This method is
the law court and its proce-
dures," he said in his address.
"And the law court implies a
government with the consent of
the governed"
The Hiroshima meeting was
sponsored by the American
Friends Service Committee and
the Fellowship Of Reconciliation.
It. was held near the university's
Stagg Field. where DR.. Urey and
other scientists operated the
first atomic pile during World
War II.

Despite Senator Morse's con-
tention that "the union has

to gain from a continuation of a

Transit Company" observers
pointed out death Of the COM
pany might well mean loss of
jobs and of pension rights.

it was argued, Local $50 might

He was asked to comment or
the city's chances Of eventually

Some members Of the House

the White House but one source
said yesterday the general idea
had been conveyed to White
House staffers.
Representative McMilla n
Democrat of South Carolina
chairman of the House District
Committee, gave strong hint
that the President should veto
the enacted bill, although he
didn't quite say so.
McMillan's Comments
Asked for comment, Mr.. Nc
MILAN said in an interview:
Personally, I would prefer
that District officials accept the
voluntary surrender of the fran
chise of the CTC rather than to
let 1t become a matter Of COM
pulSory surrender.
This has been my view all the
way through the consideration
Of this issue. Precedents might
be established If the present bill
becomes law.
II don't see how anyone who
believes in private enterprise
could believe otherwise.
II have no brief for the COM
pany. AS to the members of the
transit union here, I am willing
for them to get as high a wage
as is paid in any city Of the
United States and Ithink they
should be satisfied with that"
Now Up TO President
Mr.. Mcmillan stopped short
of saving whether he felt the
President should sign or veto
the bill nov at the White House,
although his general thought
was made pretty clear. He said,
1T Is up to the President; the
question now is in his hands. ="
Mr.. Mcmillan advised, how
ever, that the President should
make a determination of the
necessity Of the legislation be-
fore signing 1t.
