A CIO Communications Work ers of America spokesman at New York negotiation headquar ters told The Star a contract would be signed today. Some 17,000 union workers— including about 250 in the Wash ington area—quit Thursday when negotiations collapsed with Western Electric. Western Electric is the manu facturing arm of the Bell Tele phone System. CWA strikers had threatened to picket tele phone exchanges and switch board operators were expected to honor the picket lines. Covered 44 States. The walkout covered 44 States and the District. The dispute was over wages, grievance ma chinery and transfer of em ployes. The New York union negoti ator declined to discuss terms until after the contract was signed. The union had demanded a 6-to-8-cent hourly pay increase. Western Electric had offered four to seven cents. Current pay averages $1.86 an hour. The old contract expired May 2. Might Have Disrupted Calls. Some 300,000 phone operators are CWA members, and cross country picketing might have disrupted long-distance calls. Since 80 per cent of the Na tion’s phones are on the dial system, it would take a good while for the strike’s full impact to hit home and office telephone users. Maine, New Hampshire, Ver mont and Montana were not af fected in the dispute. Phone companies in those States do their own installation and main tenance work. Fairfax Warehouse Sold to N.Y. Church The huge Parr-Franconia Warehouse m Fairfax County, which is one of the largest stor age buildings in the world, has been bought by the Park Ave nue Methodist Church of New York for $6,634,000 as an invest ment. Erected two years ago by the Parr-Franconia Warehouse Co., of California, the 30-acre build ing is leased by General Services Administration for storage. The lease runs until December 31, 1958. Paul R. Russell, chairman of the church’s board of trustees, said in New York that eventually the church hopes to realize a substantial income -from the property for use in Methodist work in the New York metro politan area. Fred D. Parr, chairman of the board of the California corpora tion which built the warehouse and operated it until the sale was completed, is a prominent Methodist layman. Under terms of the sale, the church assumed a $4.5 million mortgage on the warehouse held by the Equitable Life Assurance Society, according to Henry H. Glassie, member of the Wash ington law firm which repre sented the warehouse corpora tion in the sale. Churchill Visit Reveals West’s Split, Pravda Say ') By th« Auociated Pr«n MOSCOW. July 3.—Pravda said today the latest conference between Prime Minister Church ill and President Eisenhower showed that Britain and the United States could not recon cile their differences. The Communist Party news paper. commenting on this week’s Washington conference in a front page editorial, predicted “future aggravations’’ of the system of Free World alliances. Failure to include France in ‘the discussions indicate that Britain and America regard their ally as a third rate power, Pravda said.

A. O'Leary A compromise restoring some of the relief for dividend in-- come knocked, out of the big tax revision bill before it passed the Senate yesterday probably will be worked out in a House-Senate Conference Committee. Both Houses began a holiday reeess today. It may be late next week before the conferees reach final agreement on their differences in the tax bill. The bill, which passed the Sen ate, 63 to 9, cuts taxes by an other $1.3 billion in the next 12 months. It brings to $7.3 bil lion the aggregate of tax relief effective since January. Complete Overhaul. This is the first complete over haul of the revenue laws in more tnan half a century. It was proposed by the administration to aid business expansion and correct numerous inequities re sulting from piecemeal changes in the code through the years. All efforts to include another general tax cut for wage earners failed in the Senate. But the bill contains a variety of pro visions to benefit large groups of wage earners who have spe cial problems. Senator Douglas, Demorcat, of Illinois, tried to recommit the bill to the Finance Committee at the last minute, with instructions to give small taxpayers the benefit of the money saved when the Senate struck out most of the dividend relief. The Douglas mo tion failed 62 to 15. Senator Monroney, Democrat, of Oklahoma, then tried to kill all of the tax changes except the one-year extension of the 52 per cent corporation tax rate, the only increase in the bill. This failed 58 to 15. Cuts Dividend Benefits. After defeating all efforts to help wage-earners, the Senate upset its Finance Committee by striking out most of the relief for recipients of dividend income. The committee had approved House provisions under which for the first year a stockholder could deduct from income tax the first SSO of dividend income and claim a credit of 5 per cent on the remainder. After the first year the House bill ex cluded SIOO of dividend income from taxation and allowed a credit of 10 per cent against the balance. This was estimated to cost the Treasury $243 million the first year and more than SBOO mil lion in full operation. But the- Senate struck out everything ex cept the deduction of the first SSO of dividend income. It is believed that administration sup porters will work for a com promise in conference. Members of Congress disagree as to the ultimate cost of this tax bill. Democrats claim the $1.3 billion loss in 1955 will mount to between $3.5 and $4 billion in later years. The Re publicans say the beneficial effects of the reforms will stimu late business and thereby in crease total tax collections to offset the direct losses resulting 1 from the changes.

French Give Up Key Della Post To Viet Minh . Evacuate Phu Ly, Signal Center, as Red Troops Attack By the Associated Pratt SAIGON, Indo-China.—French troops pulled out of Phu Ly to day, abandoning the entire t Southern third of the Red River i Delta to the Communist-led Viet , Minh. Phu Ly is a road junction town , of about 5,000 inhabitants. The French Insist United States Was Ad vised On Delta Withdrawal. Page. A-3 i French News Agency dispatch i said munition stocks which could not be evacuated from the town ; had been destroyed. The bridge ! across the Day River also was i reported blown up. Military sources in Hanoi were quoted as saying that the Viet ; Minh apparently was concen , trating its forces in the Phu Ly area in an effort to cut French- Viet Namese columns moving i northward in their withdrawal. Hit by 3 Battalions. The French high command had announced earlier that three rebel battalions had struck at Phu Ly, which is 35 miles south of Hanoi. A key communica tions center, it had been the scene of much skirmishing in nearly eight years of Indo-China war. , First high command an nouncement in Hanoi said one of the attacking Viet Minh bat talions had been encircled, with at least 60 men slain, and that 100 French fighters and 20 bombers had hustled out to drop 150 tons of bombs on the rebels. The French forces being at tacked -in Phu Ly apparently comprised the rear guard of gar risons being withdrawn from the Nam Dinh region, previously abandoned by the French. Warns of Consequences. Viet Nam’s Premier Ngo Dinh told the French high command earlier that “grave political con sequences” would follow with drawal of French forces from the Red River Delta. The new Premier issued a communique in which he said he had “vigorously protested” the withdrawal as soon as he heard about It. The communique published to day in the Viet Nam press said: “From its point of view the Viet Namese government con siders this evacuation as provi sional, dictated solely by neces sities of the moment and en visaged steps aimed at redress ing the situation in the near future. To this work of redress ment it calls all patriots and all political and social organiza tions.” Calls for Calmness. The 53-year-old Nationalist Premier called on the Viet Namese to remain calm in the face of the evacuation which leaves some 2 million Delta in habitants in the hands of the Communist-led Viet Minh. Mr. Diem’s statement coin cided with a declaration by Gen. Raoul Salan, aoting Indo-China commander, that the massive pull-back was purely a military operation. Gen. Salan asserted that the operation “permits the French high command to prepare a vio lent riposte in case of need. The game is far from lost.” Reports Training Accord. Gen. Salan told newsmen Lt. Gen. John W. O’Daniel, Chief of the American aid mission, had been given authority to train Viet Namese recruits under an agreement signed a week ago. But United States Embassy of ficials denied such an accord had been concluded. , Commenting on the Delta withdrawal, Gen. Salan said the troop shift northward had foiled a Viet Minh plan to attack Hanoi at this time. In Paris, Gen. Paul Ely, com mander of military forces in Indo-China, denied in effect that the French withdrawal had been agreed in negotiations with the rebels and meant giving up the whole region without a fight. 24 Die in Brazil Crash SAO PAULO, Brazil, July 3 (JP).—A Brazilian Air Force transport crashed and burned shortly after taking off from the airbase here last, night and 24 i persons were killed.

Mrs. Hartway told of being sent to mental institutions at Eloise, Kalamasoo and YpsilanU, viewed the suit as also serving another purpose—that of scotch ing Communist propaganda claims that the United States is interested only in shielding American business in Latin America. The company—w hi c h has headquarters in Boston—lost no time in denying the Federal monopoly charges. Company Denies Charges. Sam Baggett, the company’s vice president and general coun sel, issued a statement in New York in which he said United Fruit is convinced the action “is based upon incomplete or unreliable information and that tjhe charges are groundless.” The Government suit accuses United Fruit of forcing out com petition and of gaining control of nearly all Central American land used for growing bananas. It also contends United Fruit thus has managed to achieve dominance in the production, transportation and importation of bananas. The Justice Department moved against the big fruit firm with a backdrop of Government up heaval in Guatemala, where United Fruit has operated on a large scale. The company’s larg est operations are in Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras and Guate mala, in that order. For the nast two years the company riad been locKed m a dispute with the Red-tinged Guatemalan government of Pres ident Jacobo Arbenz, which be gan expropriating United Fruit lands under an agrarian reform law. The Arbenz regime now has been ousted by a military junta. Both the company and the United States State Department balked at the Guatemalan gov ernment’s proposal for compen sation, and efforts to settle tne matter dragged on witnout get ting anywhere. For Propaganda Use. It seemed to some American officials that the Arbenz govern ment preferred to keep the dis pute alive so it could be used as a propaganda weapon against the United States. The Justice Department suit evoked this comment by A. L. Bump, the Guatemalan manager of the United Fruit Co.: “These suits have been going on for a long time and have not proved we are a monopoly.” Mr. Bump, who spoke out from Guatemala, said United Fruit has done much for the countries in which it operates. A wage dispute with some 20,- 000 Honduran workers erupted into a strike against United Fruit about six weeks ago. The situation there has been tense. The company came to terms with Costa Rica about a month ago, increasing its payments to that government. i and finally Northville, near De > troit. “At Northville I was put in with patients so helpless they 1 had to be fed,” she said. “When i I complained they moved me to . another ward.

But they say ... if you think you’re insane, you’re probably not.” Once active in Detroit politics and the operator of a secretarial service, Mrs. Hartway wants to forget the last 19 years now, . She says: “After all these years I just want to go down and be with my people. Maybe I can find a job , —but I doubt it, now.” Sam Reynolds Gets Butler's Senate Posl; Omaha Businessman Gov.
