check received Saturday by the
Marion county court for $8,
566.45 from the state public wel
fare commission is to reimburse
the county for overpayments
made to the state commission
during the fiscal year just clos
' ed. At the start of the year, un
der the law, a definite appropri
ation is set up for the county
and each quarter it pays a quar
ter of that amount into the state
commission regardless of how
much was used during the quar
ter. At the end of the year the
state refunds any overpayment.

mission asks that a special ef
fort be made not to sell resi
dent licenses to non-residents
The letter says that last year
the state probably lost $200,000
from such sales, according to an
incomplete survey in progress,
All applications for such li
censes will be asked to show
proof of residence.

the necessity for more veter

Pelifions Ask
Teamster Vote
Secret ballot of teamsters who
are involved in a wage dispute
with local sand and gravel com
panies to determine whether or
not the men wish to return to
work is asked in three petitions
filed Friday with the state labor
commission by Lawrence Oster
man, attorney for the group.
The petitions were signed by
about 20 men employed at the
River Bend Sand and Gravel,
Walling and Commercial plants.
W. E. Kimsey, state labor
commissioner, will rule on the
petitions. If they are approved
it is believed that he will order
a secret ballot in the involved
plants but if a majority are op
posed, he has the authority un
der an act of 1947 to declare the
strike or lockout illegal. No
action is expected until the first
of the week.
Approximately 40 teamsters
are involved in the dispute, ac
cording to Ward E. Graham,
secretary-treasurer of local No.
324, who ordered pickets posted
at the three plants after what
the teamsters claim to be a lock
out. The union l as asked a 12
cent an hour increase as of
July 1 and a 10-cont increase
retroactive to January 1 with
employers offering a straight 10
cent an hour increase beginning
July 1.

Foreign Aid
(Continued from Paue 1)
The new bill, in brief, also
contains:
1. $3,626,380,000 to carry
ECA through the current fiscal
year. This is the same money
figure contained in the old bill.
But the committee proposed to
offer a floor amendment strip
ping out $150,000,000 in loan au
thorily.
2. $1,074,000,000 for ECA
spending in the final quarter of

mittee approved in the old bill.
3. $344,000 for a congression
al watchdog committee to check
on foreign spending.
4. An amendment to restrict

ing a U. S. treaty.
5. $900,000,000 for govern

Military Craft
(Continued from Paire 1
Firemen from the Fort D i x
military reservation and nearby
communities rushed rescue ap
paratus to the farm site but were
unable to get inside the plane for
almost half an hour. State po
lice said everyone aboard t he
plane was killed.
The big airliner crashed and
burned on the farm of Peter
Mungus on the Chesterfield
Sykesville road.
Identification Difficult
State police said identification
of the victims would be difficult
because the fire destroyed the
craft.
No eyewitnesses could be lo
cated who saw the actual orash,
Several persons told police they
noticed the DC-3 gliding down,
apparently from an easterly di
rection.
Suddenly, the witnesses said
they saw the body of the plane
behind the wings seem to split
in half. Then a wing ripped off.
More and more parts were torn
off as the airliner plummeted
earthward.
Farmers reported - hearing a
loud explosion and then saw
flames reaching 1000 feet into
the air.
The military plane, identified
also by state police as a navy
craft, crashed about two miles
away.
At Bardley Field, near Hart
ford, Eastern Airlines Traffic
Manager Thomas P. Gilroy said
a total of 15 persons boarded
the airliner there. None of them
got off the plane at LaGuardia
Field, New York, he said he had
been informed by the airline's
New York office.
Smear Speech
(Continued from Pace 1)
The prime minister said the
published policy statement is
sued last week by the conserva
tive party made "utterly unsup
ported charges." He added:
"Having heard Mr. Church
ill's violent words about how
(his country had been brought
to a low ebb in its fortunes and
ruined by the labor govern
ment, you would have expected
the Tories to propose cutting
down expenditures.
"But on the contrary, on
page after page of this docu
ment they demand increases,
. . . There Is a lot of talk about
reducing extravagance but not
a single practical suggestion."
Attlee said the wartime coali
tion government headed by
Churchill was fully aware of the
difficulites which would face its
peacetime successor.
Admitted Pessimism
He quoted an article by Henry
Morgenthau, former U. S. sec
retary of the treasury, which
told of a talk with Churchill
during the war.
'"He was extremely pessimls
tic,"' Attlee quoted the article.
'"The day the war ended the
country would be bankrupt and
the returning soldiers would
have little to come back to."

Conference Held to
Avert Meat Strike
Negotiations between manag
menl and employes of the Sa
lem retail meat industry are
being held in an effort to fore
stall a possible strike of meat
cutters when the present con
tract expires August 1.
The principal issue involved
is the one of hours. Meat cut
ters are currently working a 48
hour week for $70. They are
asking the same pay for 40
hours. Two years ago they were
working a 54 hour week.
The present contract calls for
double time for Sunday work
which means approximately $25
a day and it is understood those
stores that remain over during
the early part of each night and
on Sunday arc objecting to the
shorter hours.
