Montgomery Board Won’t Enter Fight For Charter Posts The Board of Montgomery County Commissioners today decided not to nominate candidates for a proposed Charter Board in the November 5 election. The action was taken after Ward Caddington, clerk to the Board of Election Supervisors, reported that a petition filed last week by the County Charter Committee, con taining the names of approximately 10.000 voters asking that the ques tion of a Charter Board be placed on the ballots, was "in good order.” Mr. Caddington said about 80 per cent of the names had been checked thus far and he was convinced the petition would be valid. If the naming of a Charter Board is ap proved at the election, a proposed charter will be drafted and voted on in November, 1948. Nomination bv Petition. The commissioners noted in their resolution that candidates for a charter board may be nominated by a petition containing the names of 2.000 voters, to be filed with the Board of Election Supervisors not less than 20 days before the general ; election. The Charter Committee also must name its candidates by the 20-day deadline. I The commissioners said that prompt filing by the Charter Com mittee of its charter board candi dates will enable the names of such candidates to be included on the absentee ballots. Pointing out three county com missioners are seeking re-election, the commissioners declared county affairs "have been administered well, adequately, economically, con structively and conservatively,” and with “due regard for the growing needs of this county.” They also expressed their belief that the commissioners “should be continued as the policy-determining executive and administrative govern ing qgency of the people of the county, directly elected by ail of the county voters through the operation of the two-party and primary elec tion system, directly responsible to the people." Eliminates Commissioners. The commissioners asserted that a principal feature of the proposed charter, which was defeated in the 1944 general election, provided for the elimination of the commission ers. adding that they were opposed to such a proposal. Today's resolution reversed the stand taken by the commissioners in 1942 when they nominated five can didates to a proposed charter board. The candidates were defeated, the voters electing candidates named by the Charter Committee. Three Children Killed In West Virginia Fire ly th* Associated Press MONTGOMERY, W. Va., Sept.I 17.—Three small children of Mr. and Mrs. David Delbert Wills burned to death today in flames which de stroyed their home on Smithers Hill. The children were: Gertrude Joanna Wills, 7; Shirley Lee Wills, 5. and their 3-year-old half-brother. Jerry Reed Wills. Squatters (Continued From First 'Paste.> and Allied Trades Shop Stewards. National Council, “that they cannot j expect engineering workers to back the production drive if attempts are; made te throw their workmates on the street to make room for rich idlers who can afford to pay 201 pounds ($80) per week, possibly as! a result of black market operations.’’ The shop stewards’ declaration said "empty houses are a provoca tion to homeless workers.” Granting of the writs was the first step toward government eviction of approximately 1,500 persons who marched into vacant government held buildings last week. AneUrin Bevan. minister of health, ■who has termed the squatter move ment "violence and lawlessness,” re fused to meet a deputation repre senting 10,000 aircraft workers, who had called to ask that gas, water and other utilities be provided squatters in the government build ings. ■ Provocation to Homeless. Appealing to all shop stewards committees “to mobilize the utmost support throughout the trade union and labor movements behind the homeless who have rightly occupied luxury flats earmarked for- wealthy parasites,’’ the council's statement added: "We demand that the Labor gov ernment take immediate steps to insure that all vacant property is requisitioned at once to house those most in need. “Empty houses constitute a pro vocation to desperate homeless work ers, and we call on the government to legalize the position by requisi tioning all properties taken over by the squatters, and thus fulfill their election pledge to house the people.’’ The appeal directed “all shop stewards to raise this demand in every shop, yard and branch.’’ The situation was quiet at squat ter-occupied buildings in London, with police patrolling the grounds and squatters maintaining guards behind locked doors. Prime Minister Attlee refused to see a delegation of squatters from all London buildings yesterday and their appeals for gas, electricity and water went unanswered. With placards demanding “full fa cilities for squatters,” a group of workers from London factories maiched down Whitehall this morn ing and were met by police who escorted them to an adjoinnig street, where the demonstration broke up. During the night several cases of squatting by a few individuals were reported, but there was no mass in vasion such as occurred last week. FOR RENT SECOND FLOOR Northwest Corner 9th and Pa.

NEW YORK.—CIRCLING PICKETS CIRCLED—A cordon of New York City police surrounds cir cling National Maritime Union (CIO) pickets to keep them within a small area outside of pier 88 here yesterday. Tension on the water front strike eased with announcement CIO would not picket docks berthing only AFL ships. —AP Wirephoto. Maritime ‘Continued From First Page t of the AFLi Maritime Trades, in making the request, said the AFL would respect picket lines around vessels whose operators have con tracts with the NMU or the CIO cooks. Mr. Owens said if the Gov ernment seized any ships struck by! the CIO the AFL would consider it a lockout and stop their work at all docks. Only a small fraction of shipping was freed by the Curran order. Ships with some CIO crews are in the great majority, so the big strike, which began September 5. was still effective to all intents and pur poses. Pacific Firemen Involved. The Pacific Coast Marine Fire men's Union, independent, also was involved in the continuing strike started by the AFL. The firemen | are the only group outside of the CIO in the Committee for Mari-< time Unity which is supporting the strike solidly. The three unions, NMU, cooks! and stewards and firemen, struck Friday in support of demands for wage increases equal to those w-on \ by the AFL seamen under the formula worked out by Reconversion Director John R. Steelman. Mr. Curran has stated that the NMU will not sign a contract for j the higher pay until similar de- j mands of the firemen and cooks: have been satisfied by West Coast! ship operators. NMU negotiations [ with East Coast ship owners were; broken off Sunday night. Opera- j tors said further discussions were' ‘ futile’' as long as NMU coupled \ its demands with those of the other' two unions. The Pacific American Ship Own ers' Association is insisting that the 1 firemen and cooks return to work before wage talks begin. Lundeberg Threatens Attack. Mr. Curran's order easing the j situation came shortly after Harry! Lundeberg, AFL seamen's leader,; threatened in San Francisco to classify the CIO strike as "a polit-1 ical strike" unless pickets were withdrawn from AFL ships. The announcement by Curran said the union's action was taken to ‘achieve the consolidation of our strike in such a manner as to show to all the shipowners in no uncertain terms that we are pre pared to engage in an all-out strug gle to insure our organization get ting equality of wages at the high est level in the industry and also to insure that other unions, the cooks and firemen, achieve the same things.” The three unions are seeking parity with the AFL sailors who gained wage boosts of $22.50 month ly on the West Coast and $27.50 on the East Coast. The NMU last June won a $17.50 monthly raise for its members. Coast Guard to Aid. Coast Guard headquarters today notified all coastal district com manders of the service to use serv ice personnel to “safeguard life and property” in emergencies arising from the maritime strike. Commanders were given discre tionary power to post coast guards men aboard vessels where imminent danger exists. The action was taken after ship FLOOR BBS MODERN FLOORS ADMM7S7S TONIGHT’S i DINNER SPECIAL %. « 1 Roast Stuffed Turkey, 1 Baked Cranberries, Gib ,et Sau«.$2,00 Tam$ht i CHEF'S t>€ LUXE SPECIAL A delicate . di<h to moke you return— Fresh Chicken Solod ’ with o special Mayan noise $9 fl Sauce StWiif.t* tu Dinner 5 t# 9 Litncheen 12 te 2:30 Air Conditioned ildfayettej • • • ROOM 16th emt Eyy Sfi.N.W. COCKTAIL LOUNGE owners had protested because NMU security watches were withdrawn from ships in Atlantic and Gulf ports. The NMU action was a factor in collapse of shipping strike settle ment negotiations. In other developments yesterday the first clash between CIO seamen and members of the AFL Interna tional Longshoremen's Association occurred on a New York pier. The clash started when 150 long shoremen crashed the NMU picket line at the docking of the French liner Colombie. The CIO Marine Engineers' Bene ficial Association yesterday present ed to 49 shipping firms on the At lantic and Gulf coasts demands for a 35 per cent wage increase and a . closed shop in behalf of 12.000 mem ! bers manning the engine rooms of between 1,400 and 2,800 ships on both coasts. Edward^P. Trainer, business man ager for Local 33 of the association, ! said a strike vote was being taken by mail and would be completed by September 25. Chennault Signs Contract To Fly Chinese Relief By the Associated Press SHANGHAI, Sept. 17.—Mai. Gen Claire L. Chennault, former com mander of the China-based 14th Air Force, announced today he has signed a contract with the Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to fly relief supplies. He immediately ran into criticism. He said American pilots, most of them former Flying Tigers, would airlift the supplies from Canton to Kweilin, Lianchow, Hengyang and other points designated by the CNRRA. His line, the Chennault Air Trans port, will use 12 C-46 and C-47 two engined transport planes purchased from United States Army surplus. Gen. Chennault called a press con ference to reply to criticism in the Chinese press. He denied as outright falsehoods reports that he intended to participate in the civil war or otherwise use the airline to aid the government against the Communists. He said it was equally untrue that his airline would compete against two existing Chinese airlines in China. Replying to a series of questions, Gen. Chennault said UNRRA was loaning his company $2,000,000 and had pledges, chiefly from former Flying Tigers, for $1,000,000 more. He said his company would operate as long as CNRRA does.

ENROLL THIS WEEK! TWO ENTIRE FLOORS OPPOSITE EARLE THEATRE 'A SCHOOL WITH A NATIONAL REPUTATION” Ntw T*rk — rhtlW«l»hl» — ritl.hnr,!, — fhsrlotU — Atlanta — Mltal X Paris Parley Racing to Find Peace Solution by October 15 By Newbold Noyes, Jr. Star Stoff Correspondent PARIS, Sept. 17.—It is sympto ' matic of this Peace Conference that people connected with it j spend most of their time talking and worrying about when it is going to be over. What the decisions will be. whether formulas for peace with justice will be devised in the end—i these are no longer the big ques tions. The thing that seems to matter most now is whether some kind—almost any kind—of a solu tion can be achieved in time for the delegates to get to New York foi the opening of the United Nations General Assembly on October 23 Despite a series of reportedly op timistic official forecasts on this subject, many an observer and dele gate is arriving at the conclusion these days that if the con^rence succeeds merely in rubberstamping by its unofficial deadline of October 15 the portions of the five satellite treaties on which the Big pour are already in agreement, that will be a remarkable piece of work for it to have accomplished. And if, by October 15 or 23 the con ference has succeeded in recommend ing formulas for the disputed por tions of the treaties—formulas on which the Big Four, hitherto in dis agreement, can agree—that will be a downright miracle. By the end of last week, after a month and a half of argument, the conference commissions had com pleted their work on about one quarter of the articles of the pro posed treaties. They had disposed of about one-flfth of the amend ments which had been offered by | conference member states—and in so doing had accepted only 13 amendments. Not one of the amend ments accepted was of any impor ! tance. It is true that the business of run ning through the agreed articles should go faster from here on in. I But if the plenary conference is to oe left time to do its job at the end, | the commissions must wind up this routine work by the first week of October. And clearly, they will be doing very well, Indeed, if they can achieve in three weeks three or four limes the results they had achieved j at the end of six weeks. The truth is, however, that get ing through these agreed articles is not the problem at all. For every body knows and admits that, soon or late, the agreed articles will be ( approved, as they have been ap- i proved so far, without substantial change. The real problem is how, within the next month, this conference can produce reasonable solutions to the all-important unagreed sections of the treaties—answers to such hotly disputed questions as how the free territory of Trieste is to be admin istered, whether the Danube River should be opened to free naviga tion and trade, and whether all United Nations should be accorded "most favored nation” economic treatment in Russia's Central Eu ropean backyard. The Trieste case, the most critical of the three, has already been con- ; signed to the hands of a small sub-1 Knrtll Now for Claisos Starting Oct. 1 FRENCH GERMAN-SRANISH ThtBtrUlM Method It Available Onty a: TBS BEKUTZ SCHOOL at LANGUAGES as* 17th St. (At Eta).

It j i seems probable that the same pro cedure will be adopted in the case of the two other serious disputes, j after the requisite number of speeches has been made on both sides in full commission debate. It seems today well within the realm of possibility that such a sub committee as the one which has just started wrestling with the Trieste problem may find Jt literally impos | sible to reconcile the opposing views before it by the middle of next month. The situation would be, in that case, that the entire conference j —and also the U. N. General Assem oly—might be forced to stand by |and wait while a handful of dele gates fought out the genuine issues | the settling of which can be the only I real contribution of the conference One gets the impression that there is no one here who sees the way clear through to the end of this busi ness. The conference knows that iti ! is entering on the last and critical i j 'aP of its course, and it seems to be doing so with its eves tight shut and crossing all the fingeis that are not already Deing used to stop up its ears. It will always be possible, of course, lor the Western powers tbl push things through to some kind of conclusion by simply abandon ing hope of agreement here, call ing a halt to discussion on the is-1 sues in dispute among the Big Four, and pushing on to a vote. By pur suing these tactics there is every probability that they would be able^ to marshal substantial—perhaps two-1 thirds—majorities behind the po- - sitions they now hold. If that is what happens, the prob lem of making peace with the for-! ! mer German satellites will be ex actly where it was at the end of I last spring's session of the Big Four I Council of Foreign Ministers, except that weight of conference opinion, such it is, will have been brought to bear against the Russian position. It is perhaps significant that people over here remind each other frequently these days that several problems connected with the Ver sailles Treaty were left unresolved for many years after the First World War.
