WMA, Union
Sign Pact to
End Walkout
Service Resumes
Tomorrow; 4,000
Pupils Stranded
A brief strike by most bus
drivers for the WMA Transit
Co. was settled temporarily to
day, but not before 4,000
school children and hundreds
of Prince Georges County com
muters had been left stranded.
Officials of the suburban
Maryland transit firm and offi
cers of Local 284, Transport
Workers Union, signed an
agreement at 12:50 p.m. that
will restore normal service be
ginning tomorrow morning.
After an hour and a half
of new negotiations, both sides
agreed to continue discussing
the issues with four provisions
in force:
1. The company will not
retaliate against the strikers
and the union will not retaliate
against union members who
reported for work this morning.
2. The company will not call
on any members of the union
to do any Janitorial work. Ap
parently this was one of a score
of grievances that precipitated
the walkout.
3. The two parties will meet
at 10 am. March 27 in the
company offices at 4421 South
ern avenue, Bradbury Heights,
Md., to negotiate all items of
dispute in the contract.
4. All drivers scheduled to
report tomorrow will do so at
4:45 am.
Pupils Left Out
Under the agreement, all
buses the company managed
to get on the street this morn
ing were to remain in service
through the evening rush hour
but there was to be no pickup
of the school children left high
and dry this morning.
All operations will cease at
7 o'clock tonight, presumably
because the men at the wheels
have been driving all day and
because the strikers have been
either picketing or awake for
other reasons.
The temporary agreement
was signed by WMA’s president,
Woodrow W. Miller, and his
attorneys and by four union
officials, Wilfred Jodoin, secre
tary-treasurer; James Gramey,
local president; Ronald Zelrich,
recording secretary, and Herb
ert B. Lowey, recording secre
tary of the Grievance Com
mitee.
The contending parties dif
fered on how many buses ac
tually were put into operation
this morning and, thus, how
many will make their runs
through rush hour tonight. The
company says it put 21 buses
into service and the union says
it was only 17. Both sides
agreed that most of these buses
were driven by members of the
closed-shop union who ignored
the strike call.
Many commuters had to wait
an hour and a half at WMA
stops this morning. For the
students ,the buses didn’t come
at all.
On Contract Basis
The students normally are
picked up, on a contract basis,
by WMA buses at these Mary
land parishes: Mount Calvary,
St. Ambrose, St. Columban, St.
Philip, Holy Family, St. Mary’s
in Marlboro, St. Ignatius and
St. John’s, as well as Our Lady
Queen of Peace and St. Francis
Xavier in Southeast Washing
ton.
They are transported to and
from the following schools: St.
Teresa, La Reine in Suitland,
St. Cecelia, De Matha, Gon
zaga, Notre Dame, John Car
roll, Kennedy Institute, Priory,

—Secretary of the Interior
Stuart L. Udall and Gov. Ralph
M. Paiewonsky of the Virgin
Islands donned skin-diving
gear to cut a submerged rib
bon opening an addition to
America’s newest national
park.
The underwater trail, a 250-
yard circular route with 13
submerged markers, is located
off Buck Island, about 6 miles
from Christiansted.
“This is the first time I’ve
seen this underwater trail and
it is one of the most exciting
projects in the conservation
field,” Mr. Udall said yester
day.
"It is the beginning of an
extension of the conception of
conservation to marine gar
dens. The Buck Island part of
the Virgin Islands National
Park is not only one of the
finest and most varied under
water attractions, but is lo
cated in an area offering
everything for the cruising
yachtsman.
"What we have learned from
establishing the Buck Island
undersea* park will serve as a
model for other areas. We have
to find other areas of special
beauty and preserve them be
fore it is too late.”

Md. U. Student Shot
Fleeing Police Chase
A policeman’s shot wounded

Frondizi Studies
Course in Wake
Os Foe's Triumph
BUENOS AIRES. Mar. 19
(AP).—Argentine military com
manders met today to throw
up political roadblocks against
a return to power by Peronists,
landslide victors in Sunday’s
elections.
Under pressure from the
armed forces, President Arturo
Frondizi studied details of a
decree for federal intervention
in all provinces where followers
of exiled ex-dictator Juan D.
Peron won governorships.
The Peronists, jubilant in
victory, are bitter foes of the
Frondizi administration and of
the United States S2O billion
Alliance for Progress program,
which is intended to combat
communism and Castroism and
raise the economic levels of
Latin America.
Resignations Denied
Mr. Frondizi talked privately
at Government House with all
his civilian cabinet ministers.
The conferences set off a rumor
that the cabinet had resigned.
Ministers denied this when they
emerged from the executive of
fice. But rumor persisted that
there would be a shakeup in
the wake of the administra
tion’s defeat at polls.
Chiefs of the armed forces
called on Mr. Frondizi before
dawn to demand intervention
, and the resignation of Interior
' Minister Alfredo Vltolo, who is
reported to have Insisted earlier
this month that the Peronists—
long barred from political of
fice—be allowed to run. Mr.
Vltolo was reported to have
submitted his resignation to
. Mr. Frondizi.
i Worry over the consequences
of the Peronist victory was re
flected in a government order
; for a one-day bank holiday.
’ This banned all financial and
1 foreign exchange transactions.
Controls Ordered
Government house sources
announced this morning that
Mr. Frondizi had ordered fed
eral controls in all Peronist
won provinces, which would en
able him to appoint civilian or
military leaders to head the
governments.
They said if such federal con
trol continued past May 1—
when election winners were due
to take office—the election re
sults could be nullified.
But the announcement
seemed premature. Hours later
no official word had been re
leased on just what form the
federal control would take.
Under Argentina’s constitu
tion the President can replace
provincial authorities with his
own men in the event of sub
version or a threat to the re
publican form of government.
Frondizi’s Record
Mr. Frondizi has done this :
twice before, in the provinces of
Cordoba and Salra, but never
on a scale that would mean
nullification of a freely held
election. He has been critical
for years of a revolutionary
government that so nullified a
provincial election in 1931.
Denial to Peronists of the
fruits of their Sunday victory
could spark disorders and
chaos.

United States extended to Ar
gentina three weeks ago was
denounced by Mr. Frondizi’s
opponents in the election cam- 1

Soviet Ready to Join
In A-Test Ban Talks
Asks Subcommittee With U. S., Britain,
But Won't Relax Inspection Refusal
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer
GENEVA, Mar. 19.—The Soviet Union announced today
it was ready to negotiate with the United States and Britain
on a nuclear test ban treaty. But it stood firm against al
lowing international inspection teams on its soil.
The action opened new prospects of East-West talks on
the deadlocked issue, although It did not resolve any of the
differences blocking a treaty.
If agreement can be reached
on a test ban pact. President
Kennedy has announced he
will cancel next month’s sched
uled start on a new series of
United States atmospheric
tests.
The Russian announcement
was made by Deputy Soviet
Foreign Minister Zorin at a
news conference. His statement
coincided with information
from Western delegations that
the United States and Britain
have finally agreed on conces
sions to offer Russia in an ef
fort to meet Soviet objections
to international inspection.
Concession Provisions
The offer probably will be
made tomorrow. It is under
stood that the Western powers
would reduce the number of
inspection trips which teams of
international inspectors could
make around the Soviet Union.
Much Soviet territory also
would be eliminated from any
inspection at all.
British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home returned to Geneva
from week-end consultations in
London with Prime Minister
Macmillan. Allied diplomats
said they believed Mr. Macmil
land had been in touch with
Mr. Kennedy on nailing down
the concessions. Mr. Macmillan
is said to be even more anxious
than Mr. Kennedy to show that
if the United States tests are
held every possible effort was
made to avoid them.
Mr. Zorin said the Soviet
Union would like to negotiate

MONTE CARLO, Monaco,
Mar. 19 (AP).—Princess Grace

returning to the movies, the
palace of this Riviera princi
pality announced today.
The announcement said she
will appear in a film directed by
Alfred Hitchcock based on a
novel by British Novelist Win

Hollywood sources identified
the film as "Mamie,” a sus

The announcement indicated

ers would form a subcommittee
of the 17-nation disarmament
conference.
Negotiations Continue
Since France is boycotting
the conference, Mr. Zorin said
Russia was “also ready to con
tinue negotiations” among the
three powers.
At the news conference, Mr.
Zorin also:
1. Said the Soviet draft treaty
for total disarmament by three
stages in four years should be
the basis for negotiations here,
especially since, he said, the
United States has not laid down
a complete treaty proposal.
2. Rejected the proposal ad
vanced by Secretary of State
Rusk last week that Russia and
the United States each transfer
50,000 kilograms of nuclear ex
plosive material to a stockpile
for peaceful uses. Mr. Zorin
said that should be done only
at a time when nuclear weap
ons came under a total ban.
3. Declined to say whether
Russia would walk out of the
disarmament talks if and when
Mr. Kennedy starts nuclear ex
plosions in the atmosphere, as
suming there is no test ban
treaty, meanwhile.
4. Declared that national in
spection systems for detecting

Real Fighting
Ahead, Says
Secret Army
By ANDREW BOROWIEC
Associated Press Staff Writer
ALGIERS, Mar. 19.—A cease
fire ending the savage 7’/a
year Algerian Nationalist re
bellion went into effect at noon
today. But the third force in
the ordeal of Algeria, the Euro
pean Secret Army, struck back
with crippling general strikes
and terrorist attacks.
Vowing to keep Algeria
French, the Secret Army’s call
for a 24-hour strike halted all
but essential services in Al
giers and brought business to
a standstill in Oran, Algeria’s
second largest city. The under
ground army warned the real
fighting was just beginning.
Terrorist attacks erupted in
Algiers despite reinforcements
of French soldiers sent into the
city. Gunfire and explosions
rang through Oran, where As
sociated Press Correspondent
Rodney Angove said no French
. troops were seen in the center
of the city. Authorities gave no
casualty figures.
Communications Cut
In Oran, a right-wing strong
hold, all communications were
cut with France by Secret Army
saboteurs, Mr. Angove reported.
He said all stores were closed
as Europeans rallied to the
Secret Army's strike call.
Air France and Air Algerle
canceled all flights from
France to Algeria because air
, port personnel in Algiers and
Oran joined the general strike.
1 Fugitive ex-Gen. Raoul Sa
lan, head of the Secret Army,
ordered his European followers
on a war footing yesterday
even as President Charles de
Gaulle was announcing the
cease-fire agreement and urg
ing Frenchmen and Moslem
alike to forget their differences.
The Secret Army has called
' the cease-fire agreement be
trayal, and its announced
campaign to challenge Gen. de

easiness among Algerian na
tionalists who signed the agree-
