".PHONE STRIKE OFF PENDING 30-DAY NOTICES The National Federation of Telephone Workers' executive board said last night a strike of 250,000 telephone workers would be delayed 30 days and that it had requested withdrawal of pickets from telephone exchanges. A federation spokesman said it would adhere "strictly to provisions of the Smilh-Connally act and lias directed its member unions to file 30-day strike notices. . ..

BRINGING YANKS HOME TOP CONGRESS ISSUESenator Hill of Alabama, the Democratic whip, expressed assurance that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will "lay the facts about demobilization on ' the line" in an informal appearance before Congress Tuesday. The

Army staff chief's question and

members at the Congressional Library holds the center of attention as legislators return to Washington for what Senator Taft of Ohio, Republican steering committee chairman, said will be "one of the most controversial sessions on record." The demobilization issue tops a long list of problems facing Congress in a year when many members hope to go home early for election campaigns.

HALF OF ARMY'S DIVISIONS GONE Demobilizations has knocked out more than half of the Army's divisions and a third of its air' forces. A study of War Department records disclosed that of the 86 combat divisions when the Army was at peak strength, 46 t.have gone out of business.

CHINA, WARFARE HALTS SLOWLY The government and Communists charged each other at Chungking with violating China's truce agreement, but the flurry appeared subsiding as the midnight cease-firing deadline neared last night. Chou En-lai, the Communist negotiator, lodged a formal protest against advances which he said government forces had made in Jehol, but was assured that the government would cease all operations in the province by the deadline, as agreed in last Thursday's truce. Later, however, a spokesman for the National Military Council alleged the Communists themselves had violated the truce. .

HESS SAYS BRITISH GAVE HIM BRAIN POISON Rudolf Hess, in a 15,000-word document now in possession of Allied officials at Nuernberg, said that he twice tried to commit suicide while

i J he was a war prisoner and that he broke a leg in one attempt. Hess . 1 broke his leg when he threw himself out of a second-story window,

he said, and on another occasion he stabbed himself near the heart. He also alleged that his British guards gave him "brain poison" to weaken his mind, Also, Hess said, in a plot conceived "by a ring of international Jews" his jailers tormented him by tying whistles to bushes so the wind wailing through them would keep him from sleeping, flashing strong lights in his face at night, sounding fake air .

raid alarms and setting up a machine gun range near his quarters.
