Government Renews
Efforts to Head Off
Western Union Strike
•y th« Associated Press
The Government begins another
i attempt todav to head off a Nation
wide strike of 50,000 Western Union
Telegraph employes scheduled to
; begin next Tuesday,
i Conciliation Director Cyris S.
! Ching called the second mediation
conference in four days between
representatives of the company
and three AFL unions demanding
a 15-cent hourly pay increase. Pre
vious meetings made little progress.
The unions are the AFL Commer
cial Telegraphers, the Telegraph
Employes Union, Atlanta ‘and Tele
graph Workers’ Union, Dallas.
CIO Group Offer Aid.
♦rhe CIO American Communica
tions Association has offered to
join in the strike in Metropolitan
New York, the only place where
the CIO represents Western Union
Workers.' A pledge of assistance
also has been received from the Com
munications Workers of America.
CWA is the Independent union in
the Bell Telephone System whose
members staged a Nation-wide strike
last spring.
CWA President Joseph A. Beirne
said the CWA had asked its 33 divl
sions, consisting of more than 300,000
members, “to co-operate with local
strike committees across the country
to see what can be done to help at
the community level."
Unions to File Charges.
“Like the Bell System did last
spring, the Western Union company
seems intent on provoking a strike
in the industry,” Mr. Beirne said.
Attorney Frank Bloom, represent
ing the AFL unions involved, said
charges of unfair labor practice
would be filed against the Western
Union company in the Baltimore
regional office of the National Labor
Relations Board today.
Mr. Broom said workers were re
porting efforts by the company to
“intimidate and coerce” them
against striking next Tuesday by
inquiring whether they intended to
walk out and suggesting they would
be violating the current contract if
they did so.
Argentina Says Five Billion
Is Limit of Aid to neighbors
By th« Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 19—For
eign Minister Juan Bramuglia says
the $5,000,000,000 suggested as a pos
sible Argentine credit to Latin
American nations represents the
country's aid limit and would in
volve the total production available
for export in the next few years.
Mr. Bramuglia said Argentina’s
exports would total $1,500,000,000 this
year and were expected to reach $2,
000,000,000 next year.
Senator Diego Luis Molinari, head
of the Argentine delegation to the
International Trade Conference in
Havana, said Tuesday that Argen
tina’s aid could be a $5,000,000,000
credit, but Mr. Bramuglia said this
figure had been obtained by taking
the total exportable surplus of Ar
gentine products.
Gunmen Cite Salaries
LOS ANGELES <#).—Irving Bul
mash, market manager, pondered a
potent argument for higher wages.
“We’re doing this because we’re
tired of working for 35 bucks a
week,” one of five gunmen told Mr.
Bulmash as they departed with
$1,000 in cash, $2,500 in checks.
In proportion to its size, a firefly
produces more light than the most
powerful of man-made dynamos. 1
Service Store Profits
Of 28 to 40 Millions
Spent on Personnel.
The Army and Navy spend annu
ally between *28,000.000 and *40,
000,000, derived from profits of post
exchanges and ship service stores,
for welfare and recreation of service
personnel, it was learned today.
It is estimated the total Army
nonappropriated funds is between
*18,000,000 and *25.000,000 and the
Navy between *10,000,000 and *15,
000,000.
Besides the nonappropriated funds
between 25 and 30 per cent of the
total Army welfare cost is appropri
ated by Congress and used to carry
personal services and purchases ath
letic equipment. The equivalent
Navy figures are from 20 to 25 per
cent of the overall total, which the
service keeps entirely separate from
nonappropriated moneys and uses
to support certain functions in their
entirety.
Naval Officers Included.
In the Army and Air Force the
funds are used for the benefit of en
listed men only, but the Navy also
supplies them to the welfare and
recreation of officer personnel as
well.
Roughly 57 per cent of the Army
welfare appropriation goes to edu
cation and training, including the
Armed Forces Institute. The Navy
has a separate appropriation to
cover this item.
One major difference in the two
welfare operations is in the matter
of movies because of the Navy re
quirement of films for shipboard use
which preclude the charging of ad
missions, borrowing films from near
by theaters or booking according
to commercail practices. The Army
support of movies is 100 per cent
from admissions and post exchange
profits, while the Navy spends about
30 per cent from this source and
$2,220,500 (this year) by appropria
tion.
Marine Corps System Different.
The Navy supports fully from ship
service profits the purchase of ath
letic equipment. The Army gets
75 per cent from post exchange
profits for such purchases and this
year is spending an additional $1,
924,124 in appropriated funds.
The Marine Corps, although a
part of the Navy, does not follow
the Navy system entirely. In the
matter of athletic equipment pur
chases, it follows the Army prac
tice and the appropriated total is
$282,815.
The Army maintains a central
account and budgetary control in
Washington of its nonappropriated
welfare funds, but the Navy has no
such central accounting or control
of the expenditures. The latter
maintains three pools of unappro
priated funds at different levels—
local, command and central.
Different kinds of sponges vary in
size from those which must be
viewed through a hand glass to
those which are as much as six
*eet high.

Soviet Aides Is Settled
