A rift within the CIO first showed itself in the Buffalo area. Today Joseph Stack, in charge of the CIO National Maritime Union's strike headquarters, told reporters "We are tired of waiting’’ for regional di rectors of the Steelworkers to "make up their minds.” Mass meetings will be held at steel docks, he said, to persuade the steelworkers not to injure the strike. Meantime the NMU opened a de termined effort to push all freight shipping off the Great Lakes by next Sunday. The union announced that new charges have been filed with the Coast Guard that 10 ship ping companies have violated Fed eral regulations by sailing more than 20 ships with inadequate crews. Denounces Steelworkers. On the fifth day of the partially effective strike this was the picture: 1. An official of the CIO Na tional Maritime Union denounced the CIO Steelworkers at Lack awanna, N. Y., for "damaging” the strike by unloading iron-ore ves sels at a steel mill. «' 2. NMU leaders prepared to sit down today with two employers in New York and Chicago to talk over their demand for a reduction in the work week from 56 to 40 hours. 3. The present extent of the strike was still confused, but strike headquarters in Detroit said yes terday the outlook was ‘‘excellent for an entirely effective strike bound Great Lakes within a week.” Negotiations Start Today. Most lakes sailors are unorgan ized. The NMU already has tied up ?ome unorganized vessels by pull ing their own members off, and nopes to persuade many nonunion men to join the struggle for a 40 lour week. Though today's negotiations were with only two companies, settle ments could conceivably influence the rest of the industry. NMU President Joseph Curran was in New York to reopen talks with the Bethlehem Transportation Co. This firm, a subsidiary of Beth lehem Steel, operates about 12 ore and coal vessels, most of which are strikebound. Other NMU leaders were in Chicago to talk with Stand ard Oil of Indiana, which operates a tanker fleet. By coincidence. Bethlehem Steel is involved in the squabble among CIO unions, too. co-operation Plea Spurned. The CIO argument broke out be-! :ause members of the steelworkers j lave been unloading iron ore from vessels at Bethlehem's Lackawanna i plant spurning an appeal for co rporation in the strike. Frank Leason. Buffalo port agent rf the NMU. said in a sharp state ment that this activity was “damag ng to our cause but beneficial to1 he shipping interests.’* Joseph P. Molony, district director >f the steelworkers, retorted that he was "amazed” at Mr. Leasons “un warranted attack on the member hip of the United Steelworkers.”, He added: “It was unexpected because we tad arranged a meeting for this ■vening to devise methods of ren- j iering a greater measure of support ,o the NMU strike.” Mr. Molony declared that because j >f Mr. Leason’s “unfortunate re mark.” his union might consider! nviting “a more responsible” NMU i tfficer to meet with it, and promised he steelworkers would "continue to -ender every asistance” to the sea men in their strike. Stolen Plane (Continued From First Page.) Commissioner John R. Reeves in Be hesda, ordered held in *500 bond. He was accused of violating Jhe Na ;ional Motor Theft Act. Hopkins also faced a charge of housebreaking and larceny filed by Prince Georges County police, who said the youth broke into the air port office to obtain a parachute and 22 caliber rifle for his flight. The novice flyer admitted to a newsman today he was “plenty frightened” when the plane left he ground. But he hastily appended, "I still want, to be a flyer some day. That is the only thing I like.” “I guess I didn't know what I was doing. But I guess I did know t was doing something wrong. May oe I thought I would just fly around i while and then come back to the airport—yes. I know it was dark and I don't know how I could have ?otten back.” He said he did not know how he crashed. "I went down to see where I was and it happened, that's all.” Young Hopkins’ mother, Mrs. Katherine Hopkins. 2630 Adams Mill road N.W., recalled today how! Johnny" pleaded with her early last month for permission to take flight lessons. “He wanted to fly so badly, to take just one solo flight.” she said. 'He talked so earnestly and pleaded so long I almost gave in. In fact, I saw nothing wrong with his taking a few lessons, but I didn't want him to solo yet.” Mrs. Hopkins talked quietly about her faith in her boy, who always had been a "fine, lovely child” and never had been in trouble before. With the compassion only a mother can convey, she told how he had directed his every movement toward the day when he would fly— built tiny model planes, devoured every bit of aviation literature he could borrow or buy. Crammed Technical Knowledge. Mrs. Hopkins thumbed through a thick book entitled "Through the Overcast,” a technical story of avia tion. "He bought this with money he earned as an usher at the Ambas sador Theater,” she said. Then she noted a book called "Vultee Aircraft Engineering and Development,” which she said she must return to the library. He crammed himself on technical knowledge, and that day last month when he begged' his mother for lessons he said he knew he could fly a plane right then, Just from self-instruction. "I differed with him about that,” Mrs. Hopkins said. “I told him how it was necessary for Army pilots to have six weeks’ ground in struction alone.. But he said that was in the Army, and that he could fly a plane right now.” Earlier that day, the FBI said, 1 1 THE PILOT WALKED AWAY UNINJURED—Workmen are shown clearing away the wreckage of a plane from Hyde Field, Clinton, Md., which crashed yesterday on the edge of Hybla Valley Airport, south of Alexandria, after it struck a power pole and cut off electric service in sur rounding Fairfax County communities for several hours. The workmen said they were em ployed by "R. L. Stanley of Alexandria,” but officials at the two airfields and the Civil Aeronau tics Administration were unable to identify the owner or pilot of the plane, an AT-6 monoplane trainer.

Many of 57 Retiring Members Of Congress to Draw Pensions By th« Associated Frost .At least. 57 members of Congress won't be back next January, but many of them can stay on the Fed eral payroll by qualifying for pen sions. Twenty-ope lawmakers have been defeated and 36 are quitting volun tarily. Beginning next year, those who have served long enough and pay the minimum assessment will start drawing retirement pay as do other former Federal employes. It will range from $1,500 to upward of $7,500 a year. Retiring members of Congress who have reached the age of 62 and have met the other qualifications can start getting the checks with the start of 1947. Younger men m\ist wait until they are 62. Pension provisions of the new Con gressional Re-organization Act show that some of the national figures who have gone down to defeat in this year’s primaries can have old age security if they meet require ments. * Must Serve Six Years. Briefly, these requirements are that they have served six years and that they deposit with the retire ment fund a minimum back pay ment of $2,674 to cover the last five years. If they wish to make larger back payments, they can obtain pensions up to three-fourths of their total average pay while in Congress. Under the new law 71-year-old Representative Sumners, Democrat, of Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who is re tiring after 17 terms, appears eligi ble for the largest pension if he wants it. By paying in $2,674 Mr. Sumners ean receive approximately $6,300 yearly. If he raised the ante on back payments, he can increase that amount only slightly, because! members of Congress received only $7,500 yearly pay during a large part of his tenure. With a similar $2,674 payment, Senator Wheeler, defeated for Democratic re-nomination in the Montana primary, can draw about $4,900 yearly. A like amount is available for Senator Shipstead, Re publican, of Minnesota, also de feated. Senators Wheeler and Shipstead rame into the Senate on March 4, 1923. and in order to draw maximum pensions they would have to deposit $5,833 in back payments, which would bring their pensions up close to the maximum three-fourths of average pay. La Follette Must Walt. Both Senators Wheeler and Ship stead are above the minimum age of 62 at which pension payments start, but Senator La Follette, Pro gressive-Republican, of Wisconsin, who sponsored the reorganization bill in the Senate, will have to wait 11 years for his annuities if he elects to take advantage of the system. Senator La Follette, defeated at 51 for renomination, as in the case of all other retiring legislators, has until the end of his term in January to apply for a future pension if he desires it. Members who are return ing to Congress can qualify for later pensions by applying within six months after the act became law August 2. By paying in the minimum de posit of $2,674 Senator La Follette could obtain a pension of around $4,250 yearly when he becomes 62. If he should return to Congress later, before he starts receiving a pension, his additional service then would increase that amount. If he returned after he was receiving a pension the payments would stop and pick up again, at an Increased rate, after he retired. Representative Reece, Republican National Committee chairman, who is quitting Congress voluntarily after serving 12 terms, would be eligible for a sizable pension if he applies, but couldn’t begin drawing any annuities for four years be cause he is only 58. Some Out in Cold. Pensions won’t be available for some who are quitting Congress. Representative Luce, Republican, of Connecticut can’t draw one because she hasn’t served the required six years. A small annuity of about $1,850 will be available when she is 62 to Representative Sumner, Re publican, of Illinois, who is quitting the House after four terms. Representative Curley, Democrat J of Massachusetts, quitting after j four terms, could start drawing a j pension as soon as he makes neces- [ sary arrangements and pays his deposit. Representative Carlson.! Republican nominee for Governor of Kansas, can also have one at 62 j if he wants it. But Representatives Murphy j Democrat, of Pennsylvania and Lii-; ther A. Johnson, Democrat, of: Texas, who quit to go on the Fed eral bench, aren’t eligible for con gressional pensions as long as they receive Federal pay. Willis Can Get Small Sums. With one term in the Senate be hind him, retiring Senator Willis, Republican, of Indiana is eligible at 71 for a small pension, about $1,500, yearly, if he pays the $2,674 deposit. Representative Sparkman, Demo crat, of Alabama, transferring over to the Senate, will carry over his five House terms to add to his Sen-i ate service when and if he decides: at retirement to apply to a pension. To get on the pension list, those who have served previously in Con-i gress must pay 5 per cent of all the salary they received after July 1, 1942 ; 3*4 per cent of any pay they got between that date and July 1, 1926, and 2>4 per cent of any salary paid between July 31, 1920, and July 1, 1926. New members of Congress can start out by having 6 per cent of their pay deducted yearly. Pension payments average 2'4 per cent of the annual pay, multiplied by the number of years of service since July 31, 1920. with a top of three fourths of the average salary the* lawmaker has received. j young n opsins naa visitea vueens Chapel airport and made inquiries about flying lessons. He was told he must have the consent of his parents. That night he made the first of three nocturnal appearances at the airport, slipping into a hangar through a broken window and tak ing several riferial maps, a parachute and a navagational computer, the FBI said. He had been aloft only twice—on two short trips seven years ago. * He found a. Piper Cub in the hangar, opened the door and spun the prop. In his haste he had neg lected to block the wheels. The plane rolled a short way down the runway and nosed over. That ended Hokins’ first experience with flying "by ear.” Made Another Call. Continuing the story, the FBI said the youth returned to the field August 7 and spent five hours rum maging through various planes, toy ing with the controls and familiar izing himself with the things he had read about. Last Thursday, after work at the theater, he set off for the airport again. He has since told his mother he walked most of the way. He looked the field over and found the new Stinson, equipped with a self-starter and serviced for a quick flight. Studying the charts for a time, he taxied to the end of the runway, turned the plane around and took off in the inky blackness, made blacker by rain. Tracks near the runway showed he once slipped off, and that he finally took off on one wheel. Hopkins told the FBI he flew over northeast Washington as he had planned to, then swung out over Maryland and lost his bearings. He told his mother he had never con sidered stealing the plane, but ex pected to return to the field before daylight. He might have straightened him self out by flying toward the lights of Washington. But that he refused to do, because “It's a violation of the air laws to fly over business sec tions of the city,” he told the FBI. In his confusion, he saw a car traveling on what appeared to be a straight highway and decided to follow it. Perhaps while watching the car he dozed off. That was the way it seemed, anyway, he told his mother. The next thing he knew was when he climbed from the wreckage at 6 a m. He said he walked to Viers Mill road, about 100 feet away, and hailed the taxicab that took him home. The youth s father, Matthew Hop kins of Brinklewood. Md., visited him in the jail yesterday. Beset by infirmities of age, he is unable to work, but offered to do what he could for his son. Mrs. Hopkins said an elderly rel ative was sending John through school. She did not wish “rela tive's names to be dragged into this.” The plane, the motor of which was torn from its housing and was otherwise damaged, is the prop erty of James V. Coughlin, 1511 A street S.E., and Alfred W. Straug han, 1905 Lansdowne way. Silver Spring, Md., who had planned to use it for aerial map making. Cannery Workers to Vote On Bargaining Agent By the Associated Frost The National Labor Relations Board today directed an election during the week ending August 31 to determine a collective bargaining agent for 20,000 California cannery workers. The election will follow the peak season in the California canning in dustry as determined by the regional NLRB director. AFL and CIO unions involved have engaged in a bitter jurisdic tional row for more than a year to win the bargaining rights for these employes. IITHO CO.# lit! F IT.

Bradley in his first anniver sary radio address said he had been advised by “one college president” that his school was being put on a three-shift basis and that the fac ulty was being increased by the use of competent professional and busi ness people in the community as part-time instructors. That’s what George Washington University is doing, a university spokesman said today. Instead of the normal procedure of using classrooms three hours a day the university is gearing its schedule to keep classrooms filled eight hours a day. Part-time instructors are being drawn from the community—men who have come to Washington for other reasons but are specialists in their fields. The facility will be in creased from 600 to 750 or 800 this j fall, it was reported. University President Cloyd Heck Marvin said the 7 a m. to 11 p.m. schedule will be expanded for the fall term to handle more than 8,000 students, of whom approximately 4,000 are veterans. Dr. Marvin said applications are still being accepted from qualified veterans and added that the univer sity will continue to accept these applications "as long as it is hu manly possible to do so.” Local rent control regulations. Dr. Marvin reported, have hindered some of the expansion contemplated by the university. Several buildings which the university wants to use for classrooms and cafeterias are oc cupied as dwellings, he explained, and cannot be vacated until rent control regulations are eased.

Price Adminisrator Paul Porter told a reporter over the week end that OP A and the Agriculture De partment have decided—if re-estab lishment of price controls is author ized and if the board revives previ ous subsidy payments—to restore June 30 ceilings on most meats. As for milk, preliminary plans call for ceilings 1 cent a quart higher than those of June 30, Mr. Porter said. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has said that milk prices generally have climbed 2 to 4 cents a quart since controls lapsed July 1. Govern ment officials estimate that 2 to 3 cents of this increase has been due to elimination of subsidies, «* First In Soles pint In Service ItosHUlteproi. f Washington’s k Complete Heal Estate j _Institution_ of Arlington’s 2 Modern Bowling Lanes.

Dewey pledged himself today to fight the Ku Klux Klan or any group like it as long as he Is Governor and asserted, "There will be no Bil boism” In New York State. Gov. Dewey, in an address before the New York State Federation of Labor convention, declared: "We have had to sharpen our vigilance against a resurgence of forces of bigotry and intolerance that ride through the night wrapped in hooded white sheets.” He added: "I pledge you that as long as I am Governor the Ku Klux Klan or any group like it will not hold a meeting in the State of New York.” Charter Revoked Recently. The Klan was outlawed in New York recently when its charter as a corporation was revoked. Gov. Dewey, 1944 Republican presidential nominee and virtually certain to be candidate tot re-elec tion for Governor this fall, also at tacked the Federal administration's labor policies, declaring that at present industrial disputes may be settled in favor of either business or labor "depending upon which wav the political winds of the mo ment are blowing.” "It is a waste of tifhe,” he told the AFL delegates, “to set up ma chinery for mediation and arbitra tion to reinforce collective bargain ing, if, in the end, every -major dis pute is going to have to be carried to a Government bureaucrat—and I may add—to any Government officer, no matter how high his office. Functions Taken Over. "Under these conditions, experi enced and able labor leaders and businessmen find the settlement of disputes taken out of their hands. They are relegated to the position of mere petitioners or messenger boys, waiting upon the doorsteps of Gov ernment. „ Gov. Dewey defined his State ad ministration’s labor policy as one calling for a "maximum of volun tary mediation and arbitration and a minimum of Government inter ference and compulsion,” and added: "I am happy to say there is no copyright on that policy. If the Federal Government cares to adopt it, it may feel perfectly free to do so.” U. S. Flyer Killed in Ecuador GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Aug. 19 (IP).—Capt.
