For Instance, the wife of one obscure but 1m p o r t a n t new deal thinner packed her bags and took the children back to New York the other day. She could endure It no longer.

The expectation here la that General Franco will swiftly suppress the radi cal as effectively as it was done In Italy and Germany.

(PJ Maritime unions prepared tonight what thy said was a compromise proposal for peace on the waterfront, but the threat of a strike or tlcup overhung Pacific coast shipping. The unions lnformpd Rear Admir al Harry O, Hamlet, federal maritime commission representative, that the proposal embraced terms "under wh Ic h a cess at Ion of work on the waterfront can be avoided." Hamlet was asked to put the pro posal before the shipowner, he de clined comment but observers said the prospects for Its acceptance did not appear encouraging because the employers already had waived their demands for modifications of old agreements and probably would stick to their previous stand that the unions should do likewise. An eleventh-hour proposal of for eign and eastern shipowners to in crease longshoremen's w.iges also fard a doubtful outlook. The marlttlme commission repeated 1U request that the unions sdvlse tt Immediately whtther they would call a strike next Wednesday. The proposal called for a continu ation of the preferential hiring of union men; cash payment for over time to seagoing union members; a basic 8 -hour day for licensed ship's personnel and cooks and stewards, and assurance that the conditions would be retroactive.
