- h— — Million Britishers On 24-Hour Strike n. ■ ■ i Brief Token Strike For Wage Increase LONDON, UP —At least one million shipbuilding and engineering union members staged a 24hoiur token-strike for higher wages today in Britain’s biggest walkout in 27 years. The strike halted or crippled production of items ranging from radios and automobiles to superpriority jet fighters. The Confederation of Shipbuilding and EhgineeHng Unions issued the strike call to back up demands for a 15 percent pay hike. The demand for the 15 percent wage increase affected only the leftist Amalgamated Engineering Union, whose SdO.oVd members ! made up most of the strikers. The ■ remainder quit in sympathy. ■ Not since the big general strike : swept all Britain in 19*2(5 had there ! been such a widespread labor stoppage In this country. lilundreds of banner - bearing pickets marched outside the gates of affected plants before the 7:30 a.m. deadline to start the "sta.v-at-boihe" day. Commuter trains and busses tan i nearly empty to the industrial I areas. The bulk of the nation’s vital ‘ heavy industry was idled by the : strike, including more than 90 fairtipries in the West Middlesex in- ; dusltrial district alone. "i‘ . Thousands more were expected to join the walkout when the night shifts report. 4 The leftwing amalgamated engineering union p’ushed the strike call through the confederation and triejd to convince workers in oilier -industries to join them in sympathy. ' If this had happened, there would, have been a general strike throughout Britain. But steadying appeals by hundreds of shop stewards in otherindustries and *by top level union bosses apparently .convinced the other workers to stay on the jobThijs stymied Communist attempts to |pull out nearly three milllop workers.

Charges Reds \.x 3 Stacking Deck On Conference Envoy Dean Renews x Attack On Inviting Russians To Parley PANMONJOM, Korea UP — U. S. envoy Arthur H. Dean today accused the Communists of wanting to invite Russia to the Korean peace conference as a neutral so the Soviets can talk the conference to death. . He described as “a built-in filibuster” the Red proposal that “neutral" Russian delegates be given unrestricted right to talk without the responsibility to vote or to adhere to decisions of the conference. \ Dean renewed his attack on the stubborn Communist insistence that Russia be seated at the \conferenee as a neutral observer when the Allied and Red diplomats metagain today after a 24-hour recess. During that time the United Nations studied a Comrhunist 15-point I proposal for setting up the longdelayed conference. i Dean said he found the Red plgn to be loaded with booby-traps. For instance, he said, the Reds proposed a joint communique be issued on progress of the conference. Tbit, Dean said, "would allout the Communists to censor our sides’ views.” "Very peat,” he commented. “In fact, it's the neatest trick of the week. That is, if we should be silly enough to accept it.” t Today's three-hour session was the longest in more than a week. Out of it. Dean saia, came agree- ' ment on only two basic aspects of the conference: 1. “That it was to be a political conference of the two sides.” 2. "That tha two sides were to vote as a uhit.” “Unfortunately and unrealistically," he said, “they Were still insisting on including the U.S.SIR. as a neutral—au argument which J have completely and totally demolished." But Dean was confident he eventually would win that argument. “Eventually get the U.S.S.R. on their side,” he said. He described Russia's role as the biggest issue blocking agreement on arrangements for the peace conference. i .

Ullman Refuses To Talk To Committee Former Army Major Refuses To Testify J WASHINGTON (UP) —William Ludwig Ullman, a former army major and one-time treasury economist, refused to tell senate investigators today whether he had been a Communist and a spy. UlMkn told the senate internal security subcommittee the answers to those and related questions might incriminate him. The FBI and former Communist espionage courier Elizabeth T. Bentley had sal(l L'llman was both a party member and a contributor of information to a wartime government spy ring headed by Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, Ullman’s long time friend and landlord. Chairman William E. Jenner. R-lnd., said the group would like to talk with Igor Gouzenko, form er Russian code clerk, about an American scientist “X”. The scientist was stationed in the pentagon office of fleet admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval operations in World War 11. The subcommit-, tee Tuesday made public FBI documents containing information supplied by Goukenko and identifying “X” as a Communist agent. Jenner said the subcommittee heard "X” in closed session at New York on Oct. 28 and he denied the allegations. Gouzenko, a ward of the Canadian government since he supplied tips that broke a wartime Soviet spy ring in Canada, is available tor questioning by U. S. congressional groups only on Ottawa’s terms. These include the right to censor his testimony. Jenner said his subcommittee, rebuffed in two attempts to get permission to talk with Gouzenko wants "further verification” from Gouzenko about “X.” '- ' ■ J i ' ■ ' Excessive Imports Os Oil Hurt Mines Coal Association To Give Testimony WASHINGTON (UP) — T h e national cqal association was ready to tell a senate subcommifa tpe today that "excessive" oil imports are forcing shutdowns of coal mines. The subcommittee, headed by Sen. George W. Malone, R-Nev., is investigating the effects of U.S. tariff policies on the nation’s potential supply of strategic fuels and minerals. The association contends that oil imports are closing mines which should remain open to bolster national defense. 4 The subcommittee Tuesday heard Brig. Gen. Alfred H. Johnson, defense departmena - oil supply expert, predict that the western hemisphere would have to depend at least in part on th« middle east for oil if war should come after 1960. \ Until then, Johnson said. North and South America could take care of wartime fuel demands of the United States and its European Allies. But he ’said stepped up military and domestic consumption would throw some of the burden on the taiddle east in "any emergency lifter this decade.” If you nave sometnihg to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add.
