D.C. Prepares to Meet
Food Shortages if
Rail Walkout Starts
Washington, with only a 10-day
supply of meat on hand, began to
dig in with the rest of the country
yesterday against food scarcities, in
dustrial shipment stoppages, busi
ness delays, employment layoffs and
general public inconveniences
threatened by a possible railroad
strike. * *
Although prospects were that the
strike would be averted by Govern
nwnt seizure of the carriers if no
FC'tlement is reached, a rail embargo
already ordered on perishable food
was being felt by California and
Florida fruit and vegetable indus
tr as.
i ce District is expected to experi
er - some of those effects almost
it-mediately if the railroad strike
begins Tuesday, officials of the
wholesale food division of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Associa
tion said. This community gets
about 75 per cent of its citrus fruit
and 70 per cent of its produce by
train.
fl.V; of Meat Shipped by Rail.
Almost 95 per cent of Washing
ton's meat supply normally arrives
by rail. Joseph Danzansky, counsel
for the food division, explained.
Most poultry, eggs, milk, and butter
is produced nearby or trucked in.
A rail transportation shutdown
would increase meat prices at retail
stores within a short time, accord
ing to Sidney Kolker, head of the
wholesale meat division of the asso
ciation. He and several other deal
ers here said the extent of price
increases as well as of meat short
ages would depend on the length
and effectiveness of the strike.
A Nation-wide survey last night
indicated that a general transpor
tation tie-up would have these ma
jor results:
Spoil millions of dollars’ worth
of fruit and vegetables in Florida
and California, close coal mines for
la^k of cars, rapidly deplete coal
stockpiles of industrial plants, slow
down if not stop automobile pro
duction.
Would Lay off Thousands.
Besides several thousand fruit and
vegetable workers already out of
jobs as a result of the perishable
food shipment embargo that be
came effective yesterday, many
others would be laid off in event of
a prolonged effect on other indus
tries and businesses.
The Bethlehem Steel Co., where
14.000 are employed, announced that
in event of a rail strike it would
immediately halt steel making and
blast furnace operations at its
Lacicawanna, N. Y. plant.*
Bus. truck and air line companies
prepared for greatly increased pat
ronage, but declared they could not
hope to handle more than a frac
tion of the expected crowds.
An effort, will be made to bring
some meat to Washington by truck
if the rail strike materializes but
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso
ciation spokesmen said the pros
pect "doesn't look too good.”
Two Eastern railroads, the New
York Centra! and the New York.
N"W Haven Ar Hartford, announced
plans last night to cancel long haul
f-srrpr trains by Monday unless
the strike is called off.
The Twentieth Century Limited
between New' York and Chicago and
o:hcr crack trains to St. Louis, De
troit. and Montreal, including the
Montrealer between Wasington and
Montreal, will not be operated Mon
day unless they can reach their
destinations before 6 a m. Tuesday,
th? strike deadline.
After midnight last night the
Canadian National Railways ac
cented no livestock, poultry or per
ishable goods for shipment to the
United States. Officials explained
this step was necessary to protect
Canadian shippers against loss if
goods were stranded in event of a
strike.
Freight Would Pile T’p.
A Washington terminal spokes
man said there was no way of esti
mating the extent to which freight
might pile up in the yards and
warehouses here, but it could be
“'considerable."
I While a Washington Hotel Asso
ciation representative said he did
not believe hotels here would be
greatly affected unless the strike
continued for some time, New York
hotels prepared for a tremendous
influx from commuters and persons
who might arrive from abroad and
be unable to leave the city.
Major league baseball players will
take to the air if they can t get
around on the ground. Early prepa
rations were made to travel by plane
if a strike puts the railroads out.
Mail Will Get Through.
The Post Office Department prom
ised that first class mail will get
through by air or truck. Second
Assistant Postmaster General Paul
Aiken said a weight limit might be
put on first Tlass mail but "we ex
•pect to use the available aircraft
to rapacity." He added that special
provision would be made for trans
portation of medicines, serums and
essential medical supplies.
Mr. Aiken looked for little inter
ruption in delivery of all mail within
loo to 150 mile destinations. Long
distance mail might be limited to
first class and one pound in weight
but parcel post and national maga
zines probably would not move, he
said.
Division superintendents were in
structed to get all mail moved out
of terminals over this weekend.

MOTHERS FOR A LITTLE WHILE—Mrs. Stauzy King, light,

children of unwed mothers and will remain with Mrs. King
until they are adopted or claimed by their mothers.

Foster Mother of Score of Babies
Recalls Them on Mother's Day
Mrs. Stauzy King. 63. will receive
the customary gifts and cards from
her five children and 13 grand
children this Mother’s Day. Most
of the progeny will be with her at
dinner in her white shingled house
off the main thoroughfare in Rock
ville, Md.
But the store of children to whom
she has been a foster mother for
many years won't be there with
gifts and greetings. Few of them
will ever know the part she played
in their lives.
Mrs. King is * a “professional”
mother of infants. As a foster
parent registered w'ith the Children’s
Protective Association here since
1944, she has cared for more than
20 new-born babies brought to her
out of hospitals and maternity
homes.
Without the mother’s* care, love
and security she gives the infants,
an agency spokesman said, tirty
would not thrive.
Before becoming a “professional”
mother, Mrs. King was entrusted
with small neighborhood children
for hours, sometimes days, when
their parents had to leave on trips
on business.
Maid With Her 22 Years.
Dorothy, her colored maid, came
to her 22 years ago from the Rock-,
ville Welfare Department, which had
learned the eight-year-old was be
ing mistreated by her’parents.
Two of Mrs. King’s former wards
are alive today because of Dorothy.
During the height of a blizzard one
night in February, 1947. fire broke
out in the second floor of Mrs.
King's home. Before it worked its
way down to the first-floor nursery,
where two sleeping infants might
have died, Dorothy had them in her
arms and out of the house.
Barefoot, she carried them, un
harmed. through the snow' to a
neighbor’s home. The entire interior
of Mrs. King s home burned.
“So Dorothy’s almost a foster
priations are in the jurisdiction of
different groups.
"The result is that one hand
doesn't' know what the other is
doing. The entire problem of Dis-‘
trict legislation should be put into
the hands of one joint committee.”
The tax hearings will be con
ducted by Mr. Bates and Senator
Cain. Republican, of Washington,
who heads the Fiscal Subcommittee
of the Senate District Committee.
, While Senator Cain has sponsored
a bill for a sales tax here, Mr. Bates
has been opposed to such a measure,
except as a "last resort.”
Bates Undecided.
Mr. Bates said last night he had
been "a vigorous opponent” of sales
taxes for a quarter of a .century
But in view-of the peculiar andl
pressing District financial proolems'
he added he was undecided on the
present issue.
Mr. Bates, however, said he found
it obvious that "substantial addi
tional revenues” must be found for
city operations. He noted that the
District appropriations hafl in- -
creased from $42,000,000 in 1937 to
more than $101,000,000 for next
year.
In consideration of new or in
creased taxes, he said. Congress
should make sure that every possi
bility, was reviewed and that there
be no "excessive load” on any rcc
tion of the taxpayers.

mother in her own right, Mrs. King
declares. »
Rearing her own four sons and a
daughter, and, later, caring for their
children, became so much Mrs.
King's life that when they were
grown she "felt lost,” she recalls.
When a friend told her of the
Children's Protective Association
and suggested, setting up a nursery
in her home for infants entrusted
to her by the agency, she went
ahead.
A Typical Pair.
A reporter and photographer found
Mrs. King and Dorothy with a typ
ical pair of their little wards the
other day. Each three months old.
"Wendy” and "Suzy” were*snuggled
in pink robes, fresh from their naps.
Both are children of unwed mothers
and will remain with her for a few
months until adopted or returned
to their own mothers.
‘It almost kills me to lose each
one of them.” Mrs. King declared.
"But it always makes me happy to
know they're going into nice homes.”
Payment for board—$45 a month
—clothing and medical care for the
infant comes from the agency, but
when the need arises for the third
item. Mrs. King admitted, "I usually
use my own common sense.”
“I ve had problem babies,” she
went on. "One little child was
brought to me really almost dead. I
fed and nursed her with a large
medicine dropper and brought her
to life. “Now she's well, and has a
beautiful home, right in Washing
ton.”
24-Hour Job.
Mrs. King, whose husbapd is a
carpenter, has a 24-hour job. Her
children do not go to school. They
do not go out to play: She must
be constantly on call to care for
them. She mast feed them the.last
thing at night, first in the morning.
Often she must get up at night with
them. She must bathe them, dress
them, prepare formulas, change
them, wash diapers, and all the
things a tiny infant requires.
slightly, also recommended by the
President's board. W. T. Paricy,
president of the Association of
American Railroads, said ‘‘that's our
final offer.”
But, the three unions which have
demanded a minimum increase of
$3 per day, plus 25 changes in
operating rules! were quick to re
ject the offer again.
“That's no .settlement,” com
mented Alvanley Johnston, head of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. "As far as we're con
cerned. the strike will go on.”
The other two union heads, David
B. Robeitson of the Firemen and
Enginemen and A. J. Glover, jr., of
the Switchmen, echoed it.
Rule Changes May Effect Peace.
Mr. Johnston was involved in the;
two-day rail strike two wears ago. j
President Truman ended it after,
asking Congress for authority to i
draft rail workers into the Aimy.j
The settlement at the time provided;
for a year's moratorium on operat-l
ing rule changes, and the unions
now want them.
It is within the structure of the
rule change demands and the emer
gency board,findings that rests any
hope the Government has ol head
ing off the strike short of seizure.
The rules are complicatecf regula
tions prescribing, among other
things, the hours, pay computation
and operating procedures of rail
way labor.
Federal officials insisted, however,
that there was very little room for
compromise on the board's recom
mendations concerning the rules. In
a couple of instances, the board did
recommend further negotiations.
But, it was said the disputants would
not talk about them.
When the final White House con
ference ended after 6 p.m., Mr. Steel
man issued the following statement::
“So far it has been impossible to
bring the parties to an agreement.!
We are going to try again tomor
row. I have asked both sides to
think over the matter tonight and
discuss it with their people.”
New Conferences Planned.
Mr. Steelman told the railroad
representatives to come back at 10
a.m. today. These are Mr. Faricy,
Daniel P. Loomis, H. A. Enochs and
C. D. Mackey, the last three heads
of the rail bargaining conferences, i
He instructed the three union
heads to stand by for a later con
ference call, which probably will
come about 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Steelman met with the four
carrier representatives for two hours ;
yesterday morning. He asked them
back at 2:30 p.m. and called in the
three union heads 15 minutes earlier
Shortly after both sides .were in
separate White House rooms, the j
assistant to the President arranged
a joint conference. It lasted three
hours. The railroad men then left
and the union men remained for
another separate talk with Mr.
Steelman.
Mr. Faricy revealed that Mr.
Steelman had not asked the rail
roads to go beyond the recom
mendations of the President’s fact
finding board, made March 27.
Sunday Overtime Sought.
Three of the important rule
changes demanded by’ the unions
are overtime or time-and-a-half
pay for Sunday and holiday work,
pay' for time the men spend in
terminals before the trains depart,
and pay for any delay, including
the picking up of extra cars, along
the way. The men now are paid
by the trip or eight-hour- day basis.
The fact-finding board recom
mended pay for delays in terminals
after one hour.
Some time after the White House
conferences. Mr. Faricy issued the
following statement:
“If there's a Nation-wide strike,
the responsibility for that catas
trophe will rest squarely on the
shoulders of the leaders of the threa
unions representing only 10 per cent j
of the railway employes who refuse
to follow the recommendations of
the President's board—recommenda
tions which have been followed by
the other 90 per cent of the indus
try.” .
Earlier in the day. House Speaker
Martin tbld reporters he does not
believe there will be a strike. He
added the belief that the strike will
be settled before the deadline, but
he refused to say whether the pre
diction was based on inside informa
tion.

Invitations to the conference were
issued in the names of Senators
Tobey, Republican, of New Hamp

The American Zionist Emergency

In an address oppning the discus
sion yesterday, Senator Morse hit
back at critics of the meeting.
“I must say it is extremely grati
fying to note that we have not
been attacked from one side, but
from both sides,” he said. ‘‘We
have been charged with being ad
vocates of the American League for
a Free Palestine. We are not. • • *
We are only searchers after facts
and we think this conference should
develop some helpful views which
will aid public thinking on Pales
tine.”
Throughout the Middle East, Sen
ator Morse said, the “force of west
ern enlightened free enterprise and
democracy" is struggling against the
forces of “colonialism, imperialism
and feudalism." The conference is
to- decide with which force America
should side, the Senator indicated.
Refers to Gillette.
Senator Tobey said he had agreed
to sponsor the enterprise at the re
quest of.former Senator Guy M. Gil
lette, chairman of the League for a
Free Palestine. He said he under
stood it was to be an open discus
sion of the Palestine issue, with
differing views represented.
“I’m not going to be able to at-1
tend the working sessions,” Senator j
Tobey said. “All I’m supposed to do,
as I understand it, is to make a
speech at the end.”
with the exception of a “public”
dinner tonight, at which confer
ence resolutions are to be an
nounced, deliberations of the con
ferees took place behind closed
doors yesterday. Other closed or
“working" meetings are scheduled
today.
Some' conferees yesterday were
surprised to learn they were sup
posed to be under the League's in
fluence. Former Attorney General
Francis Biddle said he had not
heard of the League before com
ing to the meeting.
Documents Prepared.
Each delegate had a “kit” of
background “research” material,
prepared by the League. The docu
ments in them seemed critical of
State Department policies, the "c>:l
interests,” and British “imperial
ism.” The conclusion in one of the
papers was that America should
build Palestine as a democratic
"bridgehead" in the Middle East.
This note was echoed at a
luncheon meeting yesterday by
Senator Chavez. In a prepared
adcJress, he critized the State De
partment, opposed the sending of
American troops to Palestine, and
charged that King Abdullah of
Trans-Jordan, whose armies new
are threatening to invade the Holy:
Land, is acting on orders from Lon
don. 1
It is doubtful that United States
forces could restore peace to the
Holy Land, Senator Chavez said.
"It is a matter of history that
Great Britain could not stifle the
struggle for Hebrew liberation nor
he flow of the Hebrew displaced
persons into Palestine. The Hebrew
people give every evidence of not
accepting a stalemate created by
the presence of occupation forces,
whether they be British, American
or any other.

Faces $900,000 Deficit
By the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, May 8.—Johns
Hopkins Hospital today reported
that it will have a deficit of $900,000
at the end of the present fiscal year
on June 30.
W. Wallace Lanahan, president cf
the Board of Trustees, said services
at the voluntary nonprofit hospital
will have to be “curtailed in the
very near future unless the com
munity helps us in this crisis.”
Mr. Lanahan explained that of
the total hospital endowment of
about $9,000,000, only $3,000,000 is
in “unrestricted” funds v.hich can
be used to meet operating deficits.
He gave as the reasons for Hop
kins’ financial plight the increased
cost of payrolls and supplies, the
use of new and more expensive
diagnostic and therapeutic methods
and a reduction in the average stay
of patients at the hospital.
Chrysler, Union Agree
On New Conference in
Effort to Avert Strike
By rfw Auociotod Pr*»
DETROIT, May 8. — Federal
conciliators, striving to avert a;
strike of 75,000 Chrysler Corp.
auto workers set for Wednesday,
announced late today that prin
cipals in the case have agreed
to meet Monday to review _the
situation.
Conciliator Leo Kotin said he
talked to company officials and of
ficers of the CIO United Auto Work
ers today and found them agree
able to the meeting.
The Union broke off negotiations
with Chrysler Thursday, asserting;
the two sides were "hopelessly dead
locked.”
Today they traded statements in j
efforts to support their positions.
Letter Sent to Employes.
The union demanded a 30 cent
an hour wage increase atop the cur
rent average of <1.50 an hour for
production workers. They scaled
this down to 18'2 cents at one point
but later raised it back to 30 cents. ■
The company once made an of
fer of a 6-cent wage increase. When
the union turned it down, it was
withdrawn.
In a letter to all employes, Her
man L. Weckler, vice president and
generaV manager of Chrysjer, said
in part:
"We are ready and willing to con
tinue our discussions with the1
union XX. The company has tried
to make clear to our employes
through our conferences with the
union that wage increases will in
evitably mean another rise in prices
and consequently a rise in the cost
of living.
Union Attacks Statement
"We do not see how either a
strike or another round of wage in
creases is going to solve the problem
that confronts all of us.”
Norman Matthews, heading the
UAW negotiations, called Mr. Weck
ler's statements "empty words and
propaganda.”
He said Chrysler workers “make
an average of $13 q week less than
the United States Government says
they need for bare subsistence.”
Mr. Matthews charged that Chrys
ler “juggled” figures in its 1948 first
quarter earnings report with intent
to “hide” $3,400,000 in profits.
Chrysler reported “excess depre
ciation charges and inventory re
serves” to cover this figure, Mr.
Matthews said.
Company Issues Report.
The corporation, in its quarterly
report issued Thursday, said its net
profit for the period was nearly
$7,000,000 less than its net for the
same period a year ago>.
'Chrysler placed the respective net
profits at $14,921,644 and $21,502,407.
The corporation blamed rising costs
and materials shortages among the
causes.
At the same time, the UAW-CIO's1
General Motors department said an
analysis of GM's reported quarterly
net of $96,481,412 showed that the
company could cut prices,, raise
wages and still show a 6 per cent
profit.
GM, the union said, could cut car
prices by $130 and raise wages 50
cents an hour. The UAW asks a ,
25 cents hourly increase from GM.
GM’s average pay is $1.50, like that
at Chrysler.
