That section may also be taken out of the project. E. J. Ford, the lone objector to the paving of West Newton street from Herring street to Montezuma Avenue, based his protest on the belief, he said, that paving, as specified in the ordinance be of inferior quality. The ordinance calls for alternate bids on two types of paving.
Ford said he understood the city would be compelled by law to accept the low bid entered for both types of paving and that the type for which the low bid would be received would be of low quality. Ordinance specifications call tone one type of pavement to have wearing surface and for the other type to have a one-and-one-half-inch wearing surface, Commissioners assured Ford that they and the city engineer have checked the one-inch type in other cities and that they believe it "entirely satisfactory."

The only defense work in South Korea is the sandbagging of Korean police stations in a few villages, several thousand yards south of 38. This was done after threats of attack came from North Koreans, but were never carried out in large scale. The Northern work was done mainly by Koreans supervised by Soviet enlisted men. Frequently the Soviets get in and dig, too. Sometimes the Koreans march to work two or three a abreast from their little villages, singing and carrying flags.
Some work done by night WaS camouflaged with branches by day. Recently diggers began toiling openly, in plain view of American outposts. American outpost personnel who keep tab on the doings constantly through field glasses said the Kolean slow down noticeably when the Soviets leave the scene mentarily.

Bedsole was charged with ing while intoxicated and driving without a license. No one was i injured in the accident. The wrecked car was a taxicab owned by the Houston Cab Company here, Draughon said.

John Cole, union vicepresident, said picket lines would be maintained 24 hours a day "until further notice." A solid line of pickets jammed the sidewalks in front of the Curb Exchange. Three sides of the Stock Exchange were picketed, by four different lines the union said totalled 1,000 men and women. The sidewalks were filled with the pickets and passers took to the streets. Both union officials and Stock Exchange executives said they planned to attend a conference at 3:30 p. m.
today with Commissioner Walter Amaggiolo, of the U. S. Mediation and Conciliation Service. The union said its pay demands include weekly increase of $9 and $15 in different wage brackets for the exchange workers, and "a satisfactory union security clause." The union said present wages in both exchanges range from $27 to $102 a week. The Stock Exchange has 1- fered $3, and $4 and $5 increases and the Curb a 10 per cent cost of living bonus for a year.
Both exchanges are said to have resisted the form of union curity sought by the union. The strike came as the Stock Exchange began enjoying, million- share sessions after lagging in the doldrums most this year. Last week's volume of 5,706,220, was the highest since the week of Oct. 18. The contract with the union pired March 1 and the exchange has been under threat of strike since that time.
Number 15 Number 15 Minton, chairman of the board set by President Truman to investiup gate the walkout which is entering its third week. A United States marshal was dispatched with the subpoena to the United Mine Workers headquarters a few blocks away. In his reply to the board, Lewis said in effect that the Taft-Hartley law, under which the board was appoined, had not been, violated. As the mine shutdown began its third week, coal operators estimated it had already cost the coun. try $500.000,000 and the miners an amount double the $32,000,000 pension fund which touched off the shutdown.
A 10-cent royalty on coal production dating back to last July 1 has built up the funds. But Lewis and Ezra Van Horn, respective trustees for the union and the operators, have been unable to agree. As 3 result nothing has been paid out of the fund. Lewis has proposed $100 monthly payments to miners 60 or older with 20 years' service. He sad the mine owners "dishonored" their agreement by not agreeing on a payment method by now.
Van Horn says the amount proposed by Lewis is too high. Pension eligibility also is in Lewis wants it to apply 19 pute. all his union members upon reachretirement age, But Van Horn ing has contended it is illegal to pay pensions to miners whose employers haven't been contributing to the welfare fund. Hints that FBI agents may have been sent into the coal fields to check on the shutdown drew a no comment response at the Justice Department. Lewis has never called the pension holiday a strike, Evidence that the layoffs constitute a sirike might be required to support court action under the Taft-Hartley act.

Graff was released from the veterans hospital two days after a hearing in Tuscaloosa Circuit Court on a habeas corpus petition seeking his discharge A hospital official said he was dismissed following a "social report." Then last week the World War 1I veteran opened his Congressional campaign by telling a Wetumpka crowd "I'm the only tician in Alabama with papers to prove I'm not crazy."

the resources, no mic, military and spiritual, which the free peoples of the world hold, are vastly superior to those which the totalitarians can command." "We have but to mobilize enough of these resources and to apply them intelligently, vigorously and promptly to achieve stability in the world which peace requires." It was Baruch who applied the term "cold war" last June to the growing tension between East and West. In an address to the first graduating class of the Armed Forces Industrial College here, the elder statesman called for immediate enactment a or fight" law as part of a total, mobilization plan to go into, effect at once upon the outbreak any new year. Such a law, he said, should permit government to draft men and women for farms and factories as well as military service. No one in the government was taking publicly at that time of any impending crisis over the advance of communism. And Baruch himself said he saw no war with Russia "as an immediate threat." But even then Baruch called for adoption of universal military training as part of the government's program to be prepared for any eventuality.
