Bridges Says Royall
Has Put Army Cargo
Issue Up to Shippers
By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO,. Sept. 11.—
Harry Bridges, CIO longshoremen’s
leader, has passed to shipowners
the responsibility lor working Army
cargo in the strike-bound Pacific
coast ports.
Mr. Bridges “stepped out from
under” yesterday after Secretary of
the Army Royall announced in
Washington that the longshore
leader had agreed that his union
would load Army cargo during the
strike for prestrike pay and "work
ing conditions.”
Secretary Royall said the matter
has been referred to the Army’s
stevedoring contractors.
Calls it "Ultimatum.”
Mr. Bridges termed Secretary
Royall's statement an “ultimatum”
to the shipowners.
“It is the shipowners who now
must give the Army an answer." he
added.
He said the Royall statement
meant Army work "would not be
done under conditions demanded by
the Waterfront Employers Associa
tion, namely compliance with the
Taft-Hartley law.” He added that
the Army was primarily “concerned
with moving cargo.”
An employer spokesman said the
Army statement was not necessarily
an “ultimatum.” The spokesman
said pre-strike "working conditions”
would include activities by long
shoremen without their officers sign
ing non-Communist affidavits. The
employers association has an
nounced it would have no further
dealings with the longshoremen
until such affidavits were signed.
Vote Against Signing Oath.
Mr. Bridges also told the employ
ers in a letter late yesterday his
union had rejected, “by secret bal
lot,” employer demands that the
union’s leaders sign the affidavits.
The vote was taken of longshore
men in the Pacific Coast, Mr.
Bridges said, with 10,740 voting
against their leaders signing the
affidavits and 376 voting in favor
of signing.
He also said the longshoremen
voted 10,780 to 236 to reject the
employers' last offer. (The employ
ers previously had said the last
offer had been withdrawn; there
fore, the employers asserted, there
was nothing on which to vote).
In his letter to the employers
Mr. Bridges said:
“We now officially propose that
negotiations be resumed. The union
is willing to start from scratch in
such negotiations if that is your
desire, or it is willing to pick up
negotiations at the point they were
the night before the strike started.”

BALTIMORE, Sept. 11 (A5).—The

The Netherlands Ambassador and
Mme. van Kleffens gave a reception
yesterday celebrating the accession
to the Netherlands throne of Prin
cess Juliana. The party also was
the fir^t of the large and formal
entertainments of the early autumn
season and many of the guests had
not met Unce the late spring when
vacations began.
The embassy was fittingly, though
not elaborately decorated with
orange color gladioluses in tall vases
in the hall and drawing room and
low bowls of orange color autumn
blossoms on the table in the dining
room. Mme. van Kleffens, herself
made several orange trees, oranges
tied on laurel trees, and made one
small tree of tiny oranges. The
charming hostess is very fond of
flowers and arranges them herself
for the embassy.
The hosts stood in the wide hall
at the top of the stairs to ^receive
their three hundred or more guests.
Mme. van Kleffens wore a very be
coming gown of champagne color
taffeta, very full skirt and elbow
length sleeves in the bodice which
had a square neckline. At one side
she wore her Medal of Recognition
awarded her by Queen Wilhelmina
who retired from the throne on her
fiftieth anniversary. The medal is
held by narrow orange and white
ribbon. Bands of orange ribbon also
were on the pictures of the new
Queen and her mother, now Princess
Wilhelmina.
Tables laden with dainty sand
wiches and cakes were laid in the
large drawing room. Three were
Dutch, Jan Hagel and Speculaas,
one with raisins, and Amandel
Taart, a delicious ring «f pastry
filled with almond paste. There
also were delicious candies from
Holland including the famous
Hopje s, witn conee navor.
The acting dean of the diplomatic
corps in Washington, the Honduran
Ambassador and Senora de Caceres
were the ranking diplomats at the
reception. Heads of diplomatic mis
sions in this Capital were invited
and absentees were only those out
of town or ill. Members' of the
cabinet also were there and Justices
of the Supreme Court. The French
Ambassador, Mr. Henri Bonnet, was
without Mme. Bonnet who is just
back from Texas. The Chin°se
Ambassador, Dr. V. K. Wellington
Koo, also went alone, but the genial
Australian Ambassador -and Mrs.
Norman J. O. Makin had with
them attractive Miss Dorothy Stir
ling, sister of the former Minister,
Mr. Alfred Stirling, who now is
High Commissioner in South Africa.

tions were well represented by His
Britannic Majesty's Ambassador,
Sir Oliver Shewell Franks, the
Canadian Ambassador and Mrs.
Hume Wrong, the New Zealand
Minister and Lady Berendsen, the
Irish Minister and Mrs. Saen
Nunan, and the South African
Minister and Mrs. H. T. Andrews.

conversation in several groups over
word from The Hague of the
award to Mrs. George Renchard
of the Order of Orange Nassau.
The presentation was rfiade by the
retiring Minister of Foreign Affaires,
Baron van Boetzelaer van Ooster
haut, who was in Washington for
some years as Counselor of the
Embassy.
The Burmese Ambassador, U So
Nyun, also was alone but the In
dian Ambassador was accompanied
by Lady Rama Rau. She wore a
very becoming rose-color sari em
broidered with silver.

H. Burton were among those from
