No Early Settlement
Seen in Oil, Trucking
And Shipping Strikes
•y Associated Pr«i
There appeared no indication
of immediate settlement today
in the Nation’s three major
strikes—in the oil, trucking and
shipping industries.
The six-day-old strike by 10,000
truck drivers in New York City be
came more serious as 3,500 AFL
truckmen in Northern New Jersey
Joined in the walkout.
New York City officials expressed
fear of a milk shortage because of
the tieup of deliveries of fiber con
tainers. Although food supplies are
curtailed, they were not dangerously
low.
Container Plant May Close.
The American Can Co., major
maker of fiber milk containers here,
said it would decide soon whether
to eliminate the portion of its pro
duction used in the Metropolitan
Area.
The concern already has shut
down its Brooklyn plant. It is con
sidering closing down of half of
the output at its Jersey City plant.
One Jersey City beverage firm said
it would shut down in two days
because of exhaustion of its sugar
supply if the strike continues.
Conference* Today.
Conferences to reach agreement
In the disputes were scheduled to
day. A wage increase of 25 cents
an hour has been demanded by the
New York teamsters. Employers
offered 15 cents.
On the West Coast, where 28,000
CIO longshoremen have been idle
since last Wednesday, there was no
move for settlement by either union
or shipowners. About 160 ships are
tied up from Puget Sound to San
Diego. The Army was to ask long
shoremen to handle Army cargo for
commercial ships to assure supplies
for the Far East be kept moving.
In the strike by about 15,000 oil
refinery workers in California and
four other Far Western States, ra
tioning of gas became a possibility.
An industry spokesman estimated
West Coast motorists may be un
able to buy gas by the middle of
next week if no settlement is
reached in the wage dispute.
Break Depends on Meeting.
A possible break in the oil strike j
hinged on a reopened wage confer
ence between the union and Shell
Oil, one of the six major companies
affected.
Today's meeting between Shell
and representatives of the CIO Oil
Workers’ International Union was
arranged by Glenn Bowers, super
visor of the State conciliation serv
ice. It was the first move to bring
the two sides together since the
strike began.
Mr. Bowers emphasized this was
no industry-wide conference but
strictly between Shell and the un
ion. although he was confident the
other companies would participate
in similar wage talks.
Negotiations were broken off with
the companies standing on a final
offer of 12’2 cents an hour; the
union demanded 21. The wage issue
is the crux of the dispute.

lifting of the blockade.
The informant aaid this did not
mean the conferences will end at
the Berlin level if an agreement ;s
not reached tonight. The generals
could recommend that the talks
continue.
Reds Charge Sellout.
The Communist press charged the i
anti-Commumst administration with!
“selling out Berlin to the Western
powers." The Soviet administra
tion’s newspaper Taegliche Rund- j
schau said efforts were being made i
to “make Western Berlin an ad
vance observation post and base of
the Truman front."
The paper also declared attempts
were being made to “disturb the
Moscow negotiations In the last mo
ment” with “provocations."
A heavy cordon of Russian-backed
German police, sprinkled with Soviet
military police, has isolated City
Hall. Everyone leaving is subjected
to thorough check as often as three
times.
Twenty-seven Western Berlin po
lice still are hidden in City Hall
after the rival Soviet sector police
last night invaded the American
liaison office there. They brushed
aside a protesting American officer
and dragged off 19 Western German
police In handcuffs and chains.
A towering Russian major ordered
liaison officers of the three Western
powers to leave the building. The
Western officers refused and the
Russians did not press their de
mand.
In their invasion of the American
•ffice, the police looked through fil
ing cabinets but did not take any
thing.
Meet in British Sector.
Hourly the prospect grew that
final division of Berlin into two
cities soon would follow. Forced by
Communist-led demonstrators to
abandon their chamber, the anti
communist City Council met yes

The Communist press accused the
deputies of “running away" from
“protesting workers” and claimed
the meeting was illegal.

Berlin was exactly what the Socialist
Unity Party wanted.
They felt the council might not
be permitted to return to the City
Hall by the Russia n - con trolled po
lice. Instead they thought the SED
minority in City Hall might try
to set up a rump government, charg
ing the administration had “de
serted.'’
The city council, meeting in the
British sector yesterday, passed two
measures the SED had sought to
block. It approved the sending of
a Berlin delegation to Bonn where
a constitution lor a new Western
German state is being prepared and
it set the next Berlin city elections
for November 14.
Hitch Reported in Moscow.
From Moscow came reports that
negotiations there were not run
ning as smoothly as had been
hoped. There were reports the
talks would shift back to govern
mental level in the Soviet capital
by the end of the week
• In Moscow an Informed source
said there is little chance for a
four-power session there today on
the German crisis. There still are
strong indications that such a
meeting will be held later in the
week, however.)
The German Socialist press ac
cused the Western powers today of
welching on their obligations here.
Der Sozialdemokrat. organ of the
German Socialists, sharply criti
cized the Western occupying powers
for not giving stronger support to
the anti-Communists in their fight
against Communist efforts to seize
control of Berlin.
It accused the Western Allies of
naivete in dealing with the Rus
sians and said they had made a
mockery of the “unflinching and
unfrightened attitude" presented by
non-Communist Berliners.
Unless the Western Allies take a
stronger stand in the "battle for
Berlin," Der Sozialdemokrat said,
they will lose face throughout the
world and especially in “the Soviet
satellite countries of Eastern Eu

Serious Berlin Situation
Believed Result of Riots
By fh» Associated Press
American Government officials
said today they feel the Communist
led attacks on the Berlin city gov
ernment have created a serious situ
ation in the former German capi
tal.
High State Department authori
ties, they said, are closely studying
the situation to determine what, if
anything, the American Govern
ment should do about it.
These officials told a reporter no
decision has been reached yet on
whether to send an official protest to
the Russians on the matter.
The State Department must de
cide whether such a protest would
hurt the chances of success for the
current talks among the four mili-1
tary governors on ways of lifting the
Soviet blockade of Berlin.
These officials said, however, that I
there is no doubt the Communist I
mob that broke into City Hall and
arrested Western sector policemen
has violated agreements for protec
tion that the Western powers have

Jane's Reports Russia
Gaining in Aviation
By th« Associated Pres*
LONDON. Sept. 7.—The editor of
the authoritative ‘'Jane's All the
World's Aircraft'’ said yesterday that
the Soviet Union has been making
"remarkable progress" in aviation.
Aviation developments in Russia,
however, are an enigma to the rest
of the world, Editor Leonard Bridg
man said in a preface to the 1948
edition. Any information about
Russian jet planes that has reached
the Western nations probably has
trickled out of Russia "by design,”
he said.
The new edition of Jane's, which
carries photographs and descriptions
of jet-propelled planes of other na
tions. present only drawings of Sov
iet craft based on telescopic photo
graphs taken by a newspaper re
porter at the 1947 aviation display
in Moscow.
"Experimental establishments, fac
tories, equipment, prototypes and, in
particular, technicians, have all been
taken over and this merged into
Russia’s gigantic aircraft industry;
This industrial potential has, no'
doubt, been responsible for the re
markable progress which has taken
place (in Russia) in recent years.”

Export License System
Routine to Be Topic of
Hearing Tomorrow
A Senate expenditures subcom
mittee is planning to hold a brief
series of hearings beginning tomor
row into the operation of the Gov
ernment's export license system,
with particular attention to activ
ities of the past year.
The subcommittee, headed by Sen
ator Ferguson. Republican of Mich
igan, already has collected some
data on the subject indicating
fraudulent operations in the use of
licenses and declarations of mate
rials shipped abroad. The staff of
the investigating group said today,
however, the hearings were expected
to deal with the routine of the sys
tem rather than with anything of
spectacular character.
The subcommittee also has a ten
tative schedule for a conference to
morrow with Attorney General
Clark on the demands of the Senate
group for information as to what
notice the Justice Department may
have served on Federal agencies
concerning the Remington case.
This concerns William W. Rem
ington, now suspended expert license
officer of the Commerce Depart
ment, who was accused before the
Senate subcommittee by Miss Eliza
beth T. Bentley, a self-declared for
mer courier for a Soviet spy ring
here, as having been one of her con
tacts in Washington.
The subcommittee contends it
does not desire the "loyalty flies’’ on
Mr. Remington, but rather what
knowledge of his loyalty investiga
tion was given to other Federal
agencies where he gained several
key position, and what these agen
cies did with such notice, if they
received it.

Municipal Court cases yesterday.
The statute which provides lor
committing known sex psychopaths

court. Two younger men became
the first charged here under the
sodomy section which specifies a
maximum penalty of 10 years in

Assistant United States Attorney
Robert Short told the Judge Watts
was arrested last Saturday the
complaint of three mothers who had
reported to police that their small
daughters were recently enticed by
an elderly nlan to accompany him
to his rooms.
Mr. Short, who declared the de
fendant has a previews record oI
convictions for sex offenses, asked
that his office be given until Sep
tember 14 to file the statement re
quired as the first step toward hav
ing an offender committed to St.

Title 2 of the law further pro
vides that, on the filing of the
statement, the court shall appoint
two psychiatrists to examine the
patient. If they report the patient
is a sex psychopath, a court hear
ing shall be held, and should the
court agree with the psychiatrists’
findings, the patient shall be com
mitted to St. Elizabeths until re
covery.
3 Young Girls Complain.
Mr. Short told the court the FBI
record on Watts shows convictions
for attempted rape, attempted car
nal knowledge and indecent assault
for which he received sentences to
taling 11 years here.
Complaints against Watts were
made by three girls, two aged 6

Tests Disclose Danger in Eating
Hormone-Treated Chickens
»y Mm AkMwW Praa
MADISON. Wte., Sept. 7.—The uae
of hormones to improve poultry
might affect those who eat the
chickens, tests Indicate.
The risks include the possibility
of causing human cancer, Canadian
and American animal endocrinolog
ists said at a symposium yesterday.
Dr. Swen Bird of Canada’s Agri
culture Department and Dr. F. W.
Lorenz of the University of Cali
fornia warned that some synthetic
female hormones (estogen) used ex
perimentally in poultry remain in
chicken tissues and may have an
acute effect on those who eat them.
Dr. Bird said chickens treated
with three estrogens were served in
recent six-day tests to 13 elderly
women volunteers in public wards
of an Ottawa hospital. He said the
women were from 5 to 23 years past
the menopause but within three or
four days all were reverting to their
pre-menopausal condition.
Dr. Bird added that “whether
this could cause cancer in suscepti
ble women is a moot question.’' He
explained that steroids are among
the chemical compounds that build
hormones that in turn affect the
development of some cancers.
Scientists have recovered between
six and 10 milligrams of estrogens
from the fat of treated chickens,
whereas one milligram is considered
a therapeutio dose in humans, Dr.
Bird said.
Only two estrogens have been
found safe. Dr. Bird reported. They
are dienestrol diacetate and diethly
stilgestrol. Dr. Lorenz reported that
diethylstilgestrol used experiment
ally in California has proved safe
when injected by pellet under the
chick's skin.
Dr. Lorenz said the estrogens pro
longed the chick’s period of growth,
increased the skin thickness from
two to four times, smoothed out
wrinkles and tenderized the foVl.

Fire swept the Atlantic No. 3 well

The well has been a fire hazard
since It blew March 8, scattering
oil 150 feet into the air. It later
flooded 40 acres with oil and the
area was closed to the general
public. Efforts to regain control of
the well have been under way ever

As Ally of Filipinos
By tK« Associated Frost
MANILA, Sept. 7.—Luis Taruc.
Hukbalahap leader and admitted
Communist, whose followers failed
to meet the terms of an amnesty
agreement they made with the gov
ernment, today proclaimed Russia as
“the ally” of Filipinos.
From his hideout in Central
Luzon, the guerrilla leader wrote a
letter to the English-language
Manila Times urging peasants to
support Soviet policy in Asia. He
assailed the United States for what
he called "rebuilding Japan while
our people starve.”
(This marks a complete re
versal of expression by the slen
der, elusive leader of some 5,000
ragged but well-armed outlaws in
Central Luzon. Two years ago he
was praising the United States
and disavowed any Communist
affiliation or connection with
Moscow.)
Taruc wrote the newspaper that,
should war break out between Rus
sia and the United States, “I do
not think that to be a true Filipino
I must lay down my life for Amer
ican bases* and for the right of
American Imperialism to exploit my
people.”
“Any bombing or invasion of our
soil by the Russians would not be
an act against the Filipino people,
but against American militarists.”

Violate Injunction
ly Hi* Asiociat«d Prm
! The International Typographical

charge that it violated a Federal
Court injunction by attempting to
negotiate union security contracts
with newspaper publishers.
The injunction, granted by Judge

last March- 27, barred the union
from insisting on closed shop con*
ditlons.
The Tait-Hartley Act outlaws the
closed shop by which only union
members may be employed.
The union filed its answer in Fed

replied to a petition of Robert N.
Denham, general counsel of the Na

the union should be cited for con
tempt of the injunction.
NLRB said in its petition that the
union was insisting on form con
tracts in violation of the Taft

asked the court to require the union
to stop paying strike benefits to the
printers who have been on strike at
Chicago and Hammond, Ind.) news
