Charge Breakdown
In ITU Negotiations
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 13.—A new
snag has developed in negotiations
between 4,200 AFL printers and the
New York commercial printing in
dustry.
The Printers’ League section of
the New York Employing Printers’
Association asserted last night that
the AFL International Typographi
cal Union is refusing "to bargain
further on its wage position.” It
also said the departure from New
York of Elmer Brown, it’s second
vice president, had disrupted nego
tiations.
Union spokesmen replied, how
ever, that negotiations could con
tinue without Mr. Brown, and that
the union had asked the employers
to put their "best offer” on wages,
vacations and issues in writing for
submission to the union’s New York
membership at a meeting to be held
Sunday.
Other Points to Be Considered.
Commercial compositors stopped
work for two weeks when the com
panies lengthened their workweek
from 361* to 40 hours without over
time pay. The walkout ended April
6 wrhen the shorter week was rein
stated, but discussions on wages
continued. ✓
Other negotiations centering on
differences between the ITU'S New
York local and naajor New York
newspapers also are expected to be
considered at the JJunday member
ship session.
The local represents about 2,500
w'orkers employed in the 14 newspa
per composing rooms. Their con
tract with the papers expired March
30.
Improved Proposal Offered.
The commercial shop negotiators
said thev had offered last Friday to
improve their proposal of a wage
increase of $7 weekly over the pre®"
ent scale of $80.71 if the ITU would
indicate its willingness to modify
what the employers described as the
union’s "$10 position.”
The emplovers charged Mr. Brown
had informed them the union did
not intend to negotiate further but
would transmit any "final” offer of
the operators to the membership.
Mr. Brown left for ITU headquar
ters in Indianapolis Friday.
Adequate Gas Seen
For Vacation Travel
By tht A**ociat#d Pr#*s
CHICAGO, April 13.—There ap
pears to be sufficient gasoline to
meet demands of the Nation s mo
torists for vacation travel, spokes
men for some of the oil firms say.
Hr. Robert E. Wilson, chairman
of the board of Standard Oil of In
diana, said motorists can expect
“sufficient gasoline to handle as
much vacation travel as last year,
mavbe a little more.” He urged the
public to take steps to save gaso
line. , .
Spokesmen for Standard Oil of
New Jersey and Shell Oil also agreed
there should be enough gasoline for
summer automobile use. However,
they said there may be times w’hen
motorists may have to go shopping
at filling stations to fill their tanks.
Robert J. McElroy, vice president
in charge of marketing for the Pure
Oil Co., said gasoline stocks are at
an all-time numerical high and the
oil industry "is in an improved po
sition at the movement,’’
"Lack of transport facilities and
shortages of construction materials
are very definite handicaps to fur
ther increases in supplies in some
areas,’’ Mr. McElroy said. The test
will come in the summer months
when the peak demands for agricul
ture and the travel season will co
incide. The major question for
civilian uses, of course, will come
if military demands are expanded.’’
A recent find during an archeo
logical expedition in Panama was a
necklace found in a burial urn
which contained 748 human teeth,
all from the front of the mouth.
Yankee 'Blatherskite' Assailed
For Blast at 'Dixie Claghorns'
By tht Associated Pros*
ATLANTA, April 13.—In a word,’
a Southern politician thinks a cer
tain Northern politician is a talka
tive, blustering, noisy fellow.
The word is “blatherskite.”
That's what Memphis' Political
Leader E. H. Crump called Lt. Gov.
Arthur W. Coolidge of Massa
chusetts today.
But then the Northerner brought
it on himself. In a speech before
the Greater Lawrence (Mass.)
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday
Lt. Gov. Coolidge said some harsh
things about the South.
He said the “Bilbo-Belt banjo
strummers” were kidnaping his
State’s textile industry. "Dixie
Student Art Calendar
Judges Select 6 Best
Entries; Public to,Vote
Judges in The Star Student Art
Calendar ‘contest yesterday made
their six selections from among 360
entries submitted by Washington
area school students.
The six winners will not be identi
fied until May 4, when announce
ment of the complete judges’ and
public choices will be made.
All entries will go on view in the
Commerce Department auditorium
May 1. Between that date and May
4, the public will be invited to
select one painting as best in the
show.
Should the public favorite not
be among the six selected yester
day, it will replace one chosen by
the judges to appear in the 1949
Star calendar.
Higher Quality of Entries.
The 360 entries from junior and
senior high school students here
gave the judges a difficult time
yesterday. The judges, all mem
bers of The Star’s editorial, art and
promotion departments, agreed the
quality of entries is higher than
those submitted last year.
The entries, in oil. pastels,
watercolor, tempera and crayon,
dealt with such varied subjects as
a mouse, a clown, witches, horses,
ash cans, roller coasters, pastoral
scenes, alleys, football, dancing
girls, magnolias and street scenes.
In addition to the six potential
winners selected yesterday, the
Claghorns, said Lt. Gov. coondge,
already have talked several mills
into moving South.
If such goings-on don’t stop, he
predicted, the New England textile
industry will become mere “hollow
shells.”
He even went so far as to accuse
Southern leaders, particularly those
in Louisiana, of using Federal tax
money to offset tax exemptions
used to lure industry southward.
Some “Tobacco Road" States, he
continued, pay wily $2 in taxes “for
every $7 they wheedle out of Wash
ington” while Massachusetts kicks
in $6 and gets back $2.50.
In addition, Lt. Gov. Coolidge
called Southern labor a “raw mass,
judges picked 42 of the entries for
honorable mention awards.
Eliminated by Rounds.
Pictures were selected by a pro
cess of elimination in which one
hand raised in approval kept a pic
ture in for second round of exami
nation, two raised hands took it
into a third round, and so on.
After the third round, 13 pictures
remained. These were set up on
chairs around the Board of Trade
conference room for further view
ing. This group was narrowed down
to eight and finally to six.
Judges were Clifford K. Berry
man, Star political cartoonist;
Robert Hoke and Newman Sudduth,
Star staff artists; Philip H. Love,
feature editor; Jack C. Schoo,
promotion manager, and Howard P.
Bailey, assistant to the managing
editor.

inexperienced and undisciplined.”
Said Mr. Crump tartly: “No
slurring remarks by a two-by-four
blatherskite can remove the South's
attractiveness. The South is for
steady growth—that’s what’s killing
'em.”
As for the aspersions on Southern
labor, a textile Industry spokesman,
T. M. Forbes of Atlanta, sniffed,
"nonsense. Southern labor is not
excelled anywhere in the United
States.”
Gov. Ben T. Laney of Arkansas
said he didn’t want to indulge in
any word battle with a Yankee, but
thought people in this country didn’t
talk that way any more.
