The men took over the cafeteria of the Pittsburgh branch of the Pennsylvania Assn. for the Blind yesterday afternoon. A few hours later, when they showed no sign of leaving, police were called. Officers made no attempt to evict the men. A detail watched as they tried to sleep. Some of the men lept awhile, then talked of their next step.

The increases, approximately S per cent for veterans and 25 per cent for some dependents of de ceased veterans, were provided in a bill passed by roll call vote of 3994 and sent to the Senate.

Korea veterans now must start their GI educational training by Aug. 20. or no more than two years after discharge from the service.

This is not a reducing plan as you know them. It's far simpler and makes much better sense. There is no dangerous dieting, no tiresome calorie counting, no back-breaking exercises, no expen sive pills or drugs. You simply follow this rule: Bat a Sunkist Orange 30 minutes before lunch and dinner each day. Then eat moderately at mealtime, as you should. This becomes amazingly easy because easing the fresh orange with its healthful "meat" (rich in cellulose) helps curb your appetite the natural way and gives you new roou time hunger control. This new eat-an-orange plan is working for others. Why not give it a fair trial, say for three weeks?

The blind broom makers went on strike last March 2, protesting a pay cut. They have no union. James Leri, 29, married and the father of one child, said: "We had been'paid $1.13 a dozen to make brooms. The association tried to cut us to 78 cents a dozen and we walked off the job. But a short time ago we offered to go back to work for 90 cents a dozen. - "We decided to put or a sitdown strike and went to the cafeteria for a meeting yesterday. Some of the association officials called po lice and said we had to get out by 5 p.m. Well, we're still here and we are going to stay for awhile. We might try ' to picket the place later in the day.
