6-Day Week Proposed
By A. B. & W. Line at
Present Hourly Rate
Hourly rates for employes of the
Alexandria, Bancroft & Washington
Tranait Co. would remain as at
present but ‘■take-home” pay would
be Increased by working six days a
week instead of five, under a pro
posed contract agreement which the
A. B. & W. has filed with Gov.
Tuck, it was disclosed today.
A company spokesman said the
proposal was sent to Richmond
Tuesday in compliance with Virginia
law which requires that the Gov
ernor be informed of all negotia
tions between management and
labor unions. The contract between
the A. B. ti W. and Division 1131
of the Amalgamated Association
of Street Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employes, AFL, ex
pires July 30.
The union filed its proposal for a
renewed contract with the Governor
on Monday. The union is asking a
raise of 50 cents an hour, from $1.25
to *1.75 for bus drivers with a year
or more experience, and an increase
from $1.12 to *1.50 in the hourly rate
for drivers with six months’ expe
rience. Under the proposal, the
beginners’ rate of $1.02 per hour
would remain unchanged.
Company spokesman said that
under the management’s suggestion,
employes would be paid at straight
time for the final day of the six-day
work week.
Initial conference between man
agement and the union on the re
newal contract was scheduled orig-l
inally for tomorrow but the company1
representative said this had been
j changed to Wednesday by mutual
| agreement.
Charter Referendum
Suit Arguments Start
Argument by attorneys seeking to
dismiss a suit which asks Mont
gomery County Circuit Court to
prevent a charter referendum in
November began today in Circuit
Court at Rockville.
The case is being heard by Judges
Charles W. Woodward and Sted
man Prescott, and is expected to
continue all day.
The suit was brought by Hubert
A. Schneider, Bethesda and Wash
ington attorney, against the Board
of Election Supervisors to keep the
charter question off the ballot.
Joined as defendants with the
Board of Election Supervisors are
the Charter Board and Charter
Committee.
Approximately 50 persons were in
the courtroom when the case
opened this morning. They heard
Carey Quinn, representing the
Board of Election Supervisors,
charge that Mr. Schneider is ask
ing the court to "go on a fishing
expedition to refrain the legisla
tive process of the State.”
Mr. Quinn maintained there are
no inconsistencies between the pro
posed charter and the Maryland
constitution as contended by Mr.
Schneider.
Leon Henderson Says
Truman Lacks Majority
President Truman will not have
a sufficient number of legally in
structed delegates to the Democratic
National Convention to insure his
nomination, Leon Henderson, na
tional chairman of the Americans
for Democratic Action, declared
today.
Mr. Henderson and the ADA are
on record as opposed to the nom
ination of Mr. Truman to succeed
himself as President. They have
announced for ‘‘men like Gen.
Eisenhower or Associate Justice Wil
liam O. Douglas.”
Mr. Henderson said a survey made
of the 802 delegates already elected
to the Democratic convention showed
only 176 have been instructed to
cast their votes for Mr. Truman. He
added that 576 will go to Philadel
phia uninstructed and unpledged;
that Ohio's 50 votes are committed
to a favorite son, William A. Julian,
treasurer of the United States.
The Ohio delegates are believed
ready to cast their votes for Mr.
Truman, and man of the 576 dele
gates mentioned by Mr. Henderson
as unpledged also are expected to
support Mr. Truman.
Mr. Henderson insisted, however,
that "it is now unmistakably clear
that the majority of the members of
the Democratic Party who have
voted to elect delegates to the na
tional convention want, an open
convention.”
The total number of convention
delegates will be 1,234, and it takes
a majority or 618 to nominate a
presidential candidate.

Hungarian Minister
Blames Hostility to
U. S. for Resignation
The Communist-controlled Hun
garian government's "hostile at
titude" toward the United States
and its "neglect” of the Legation
here were main reasons given today
by Rustem Vambery for his resig
nation as Hungarian minister to
this country.
Mr. Vambery said he plans to
seek American citizenship. Although
Minister only since last July, he has
been in the United States for 10
years. Now living at the Wardman
Park oHtel, he intends to go to
Rockport, Me., this summer to write
a book on criminology. He formerly
taught criminal law at the Univers
ity of Budapest and criminology at
the New School for Social Research
in New York.
At a press conference yesterday
RUSTEM VAMBERY.
—Harris-Ewing Photo.
when he announced his resigna
tion, Mr. Vambery deplored the
"more and more unfriendly” rela
tions between Hungary and the
United States. He protested against
"vitriolic attacks" in the Hungarian
press and radio ‘‘especially in sin
gling out the Voice of America even
for telling plain truths.”
Party Merger Cited.
The former envoy referred by
name only once to the Communist
control of Hungary.
“I could not help feeling grieved
about some recent events in Hun
gary, as lor example the enforced
merger of the Social Democrat and
Communist Parties,” he said. “Nor
could I agree, as an old fighter for
justice, with the new law which
allows judges to be transferred or
pensioned for political reasons.”
Mr. Vambery said that when he
became minister his “sole objec
tive was to improve the deteriorated
relations “between Hungary and
the United States.
“I regret to say,” he continued,
“that my hopes have not come
true. Maybe I overrated my ability
to negotiate in the tense atmos
phere, but I cannot overlook the
fact that the coalition government
T had the honor to represent did
pot prove co-operative.”
Staff Cut to Four.
Referring to administrative dif
ficulties in the Hungarian legation.
Mr. Vambery said he repeatedly
asked in vain for a commercial at
tache and a press attache. The
staff was cut from eight to four
persons, including the minister, he
said.
“There is a room filled with pa
pers wljich, lacking a competent
economic adviser, cannot be dealt
with. I am not prepared to take
the responsibility for this state of
affairs.”
Mr. Vambery's resignation was
accepted and Andrew Sik, present
counseler, was named charge d’af
fairs pending appointment of a new
minister.
New Hearings Due
On Optometry Bill
The House-passed bill to strength-!
en control of optometry here was j
1 hotly debated before a Senate Dis
trict Subcommittee today, but an
j other hearing will be necessary,
probably some time next week, be
fore action can be taken.
Senator Cooper. Republican, of
Kentucky, subcommittee chairman,
announced after the hearing of
more than three hours that several
more witnesses will be given oppor
tunity fo testify.
Five proponents of the bill rep
resenting the District Commission
ers and optometrists' groups, urged
enactment of the measure as neces
sary to prevent practices alleged
'to lead to overcharging the public
and to false advertising.
Two opponents speaking for op
tometric divisions of retail stores
urged defeat of the measure. They
expressed fears the bill would give
so much power to the already exist
ing Board of Optometry that it
'■ would drive them out of business.
The bill authorises the existing
board to decide what is “unprofes
sional" conduct and increases the
educational requirements in prac
tice of optometry.

India with a new drug, called 8257

be a power shortage in the light

power shortage in our bats, and
our fielding never has been bet

Richards poo-pooed the oppo
sition's forecast.
"Whistling to keep up their
spirits,” he said. "We’re in ex
cellent shape, fairly oosing with
good health. I hate to think
what’s going to happen to those
fellows. Some of ’em were pretty
nice, even though they went
wrong in their youth, and we’ll
feel bad whacking ’em down.
But it’s got to be done. We’ve
got to teach them to respect

Richards named a probable
starting lineup with Battles at
third base; Rivers, center field;
Jones, second base; Smathers,
leftfleld; Fogarty, shortstop;
Pickett, first base; Worley, right
field; Harris, catcher, and
Wheeler, pitcher.
Arrangements for the game

the weatherman. If it rains
tomorrow night, the game will
be played Saturday night in
Griffith Stadium.

Bevin Urges Red Bloc
To Halt Greek War
ly Hi* Ai»ociat*d Prm
SCARBOROUGH, Eng.. May 20
—Foreign Secretary Bevtn said to
day the Communist countries of
Eastern Europe are fostering- the
civil war in Greece, and appealed
to them to stop it.
Without mentioning Russia in
this connection, he told the Labor
Party’s annual conference that
"one lift of a finger from a place
you know would stop it tonight.”
“Civil war as an instrument for
foreign polciy of any outside power
is a dastardly thing to do." he said.
“I appeal to them to stop it.”
Mr. Bevin said he opposes "any
steps to carry on aggressive war
against Soviet Russia or any other
country." He spoke for 50 minutes
without a mention of the Middle
East situation.
“I do not believe war is inevit
able ” Mr. Bevin told the party.
He asked the Soviets to halt the
war of nerves.
"The danger of where a war is
likely to arise is the war of nerves,
which the Russians can stop,” he
said.
