PREG DELIVERY Key West Supply Co. 219 Simonton Street Phone 2-3123 Move Blocks Strike Truce. #& By HAL COOPER LONDON (#—A last minute union maneuver which knocked out }4 tentative truce plan sent Brit- ain’s crippling waterfront strike into its 26th day today. The government apparently still had hopes of a back to work move- ment over the weekend, however. Waterfront observers said the gov- ernment could hardly delay longer the use of troops to unload vital foodstuffs and other imports. Some 43,000 workers are idle in the work stoppages at the nation’s main sea- ports. The end of the walkout appeared imminent last night when dock em- ployers in London agreed to an armistice on the main issue— whether dock workers should have the right to turn down overtime work. Overtime now is compul- sory. Employers maintain this is necessary because of the effect of tides on handling cargoes. Under the truce formula the would return to their jobs, Negotiation of their grie- . While negotiations were on, employers would refrain y action against any workmen who refused over- time. Leaders of the National Amal- gamated Stevedores and Dockers Union at first seemed inclined to accept the armistice proposal. But after a long huddle they came up with a demand that the same for- mula be extended to all ports out- a. Ministry of Labor said this was impossible because there was “no dispute about overtime ini oth- er ports where sympathetic stop- pages have occurred.” The stevedores’ group repre- sents only 11,000 strikers and al- most its entire strength is in Lon- don. Most of the other men on strike belong to the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU). Leaders of the TGWU have de- nounced, the walkout as_a Com- munist* conspiracy. Friction among union groups has been pointed up by the work stop- page. The stevedores’ union has been suspended from the Trades Union Congress, Britain’s ruling body, for “poaching” on the TG ‘WU. The Daily Herald, sokesman for the Trades Union Congress, said conceding to the stevedore demand for a national agreement now “would give them recognition to which they ‘are not entitled.” A total of 346 ships are idle in London, Liverpool, Southampton, Hull, Manchester, Birkenhead and Rochester.

Y. i) — The United States sought approval today for its six-point plan to bol- ster U. N. forces against aggres- sion. Diplomats predicted the pro- posal would win strong support despite expected Soviet opposition. U. S. Delegate Charles A. Ma- honey prepared to go before the 60-nation Political Committee to present the plan, under which the U. N. would pay for supplies and equipment used in collective mili- tary action against any future ag- gressor. U. S. sources said Mahoney would point out the close connec- tion between disarmament and collective measures in the devel- opment of a safe, secure world. Stevenson Chides Eisenhower For GOP Red Campaign Issue They said he would stress the need for fast participation by member states in any future collective ac- tion. The U. S. plan was approved by the 1¢nation Collective Meas- ures Committee, whose annual re- port furnished the basis for to- day’s debate. The plan calls on U. N. mem- bers to. contribute to the best of their ability—sending troops, sup- plies or money. It also urges the U. N. to support action taken by regional pacts such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Informants said the © United States probably would support a move to continue the life of the Measures Committee, established under the Truman-Acheson “‘unit- ing for peace” program in 1950. There was some question wheth- er the Political Committee would be asked to extend the existence of the collective measures group for another year, or give it perma- nent status, Delegates predicted — unless something unexpected develops— the security measures debate should wind up early next week. But there’ were rumors Russia might consider the debate a good occasion to come up with some proposal of her own. Russia has refused to have any part in the Collective Measures Committee, arguing that the issue lay within the province of the Se- curity Council rather than the As- sembly. os 4 Young Hunters Bag Pheasant GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. ) — A pair of 5-year-old boys, armed with a broken toy shotgun, crowed hap- pily over their hunting trophy—a live but dejected pheasant peering from an improvised coop. The hunters, Jerry Lee Peck and Brian Maynard, surprised their parents when they brought home ‘the bird, clutched in Jerry’s arms. The boys stoutly insist, ‘We shot it with our gun.” Neither family TRENTON, N.J. @—Adlai Ste- venson chided President Eisen- hower last night for the use of the Communists-in-government is- sue by Vice President Nixon and other Republicaris in the current cai 1 ‘The 1982 Democratic presidential candidate remarked that ‘a sin- gular thing happened” at Eisen- hower’s press conference Wednes- day in W: , when the Pres. ident said he did not know about Republicans’ use of the ‘“‘commu- “Surely this must be the first time in history that the Presi- dent, the ijeader of his political ‘party, doesn’t even know, let alone influence, his party’s campaign,” Stevenson said. “Surely this must be the first time in history that the President and the vice presi- dent of the Unied States aren’t on speaking terms.”* Seeeiog before a crowd at the Trenton War Memorial Building, Stevenson said Eisenhower pre- dicted last year that the campaign issue would be the record of the administration rather than Com- munists in government. “But what happened?” Steven- asked son 5 “In New York, Messrs, (Thomas E.)

And he said “President's fa- vorite campaigner, the heir ap- parent, the chief of staff—the vice president of the United States, Mr. Nixon — is the leader of it all.” ‘Stevenson's ‘speech here, telecast in the metropolitan area, followed a day of gampaigning in behalf of the Democratic nominee for Rep. Charles R. Howell. Stevenson called for the election of a Democratic Congress next Tuesday as a meane of checking “the tendency of the last two years to separate the United States from our allies in world affairs,” of re- storing ‘“‘the dignity of congres- sional investigation,”’ and of strengthening ‘the atmosphere of individual freedom.” As for the Eisenhower program, Stevenson said that where it has been “responsible and construct- said the tern was ee ment. Nehru’s China Trip Lauded By EUGENE LEVIN NEW DELHI, (India’s news- papers hailed Prime Minister Nehru’s tour of Communist China as a great historical event. In their enthusiasm papers found little if anything to criticize. Writers generally seem to be- lieve Nehru convinced Red China leaders they must take steps to assure other Asian countries—such as Burma and Indonesia — that Peiping plans no aggression and has only peaceful intentions, India newsmen also give indica- tions they are impressed by the promises of Red China’s Mao Tze-| tung and Chou En-lai to cooperate | with India’s peace efforts. As a| result, newspapers appear fully to | endorse Nehru’s trip. Most of these impressions emerge from front page ‘‘spot news” stories sent from Pepiping by leading staffers of newspapers and Indian News: agencies. These Staffers were invited to China at the expense of the Peiping govern- ment, z Only after Nehru left Peiping did any Indian newspaper display a hint of criticism. The Times of India said Thursday that the Chi- nese Communists tried to play “power politics” and get Nehru openly to side with the Reds. The newspaper s*id Nehru properly held bis Position of ‘‘nonalign- New Delhi newspapers generally took a more sober view of the visit Stevenson described as “singu- larly unrealistic and ungrateful” what he said was Eisenhower's prediction of a political ‘cold war” if Democrats gain control.of Con- gress.
