which had been scheduled to
start at 6 a.m. tomorrow.
New York, Apr. 25 (U.R)
Federal Mediation Chief Cyrus
S. Ching sent another of his top
assistants into apparently dead
locked negotiations between tele
phone management and labor to
day, hoping to avert a nation
wide tie-up of the phone system
scheduled for 6 a.m. tomorrow.
Proposal Suspected
He rushed Peter Seitz, general
counsel of the mediation service,
here from Washington perhaps
with a proposal for extending
President Truman's 60-day truce
which expires at midnight. Some
sources suggested that appoint
ment of a fact-finding board
might be the plan.,
Seitz joined Clyde M. Mills,
Ching's special assistant and top
aide, in the government's effort
to head off a strike, that could
have grave repercussions on the
nation a everyday life.
The issue was simple: The
Communication Workers of
America (CIO), representing
802.320 workers or 59.6 per cent
Of the 500,230 employees of the
Bell system, were demanding
wage increases. The American
Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and its subsidiaries were
saying, no.
Picket Plans Made
The union laid plans to picket
very major exchange in 42
states, and claimed that a vast
majority of the 197.910 tele
phone workers who belong to in
dependent unions not affiliated
with the communication workers
would respect the lines.
Also planned in detail was a
nation-wide campaign of "jam
ming" which the union expected
to frustrate the companies' plans
to maintain a semblance of long
distance service and to keep au
tomatic dial exchanges running
normally with supervisory em
ployees. The union plan was to
so overload both long distance
and dial systems with calls that
all would break down.
Portland, Ore., Apr. 25 (U.R)
Telephone workers have com
pleted plans for "jamming" lo
cal and long distance telephone
lines in Portland in event of a
strike. Dan Harris, president of
CIO Equipment Installers in
Ofregon, Washington and Idaho
said today.
Harris said his union, division
No. 6, of the Communication
Workers of America, will have
the support of "people friendly

Dr. Sander Expects to Be

Manchester. N.H., Apr. 25
(U.R) Dr. Hermann N. Sander
said today that he expected the
New Hampshire board of regis

his practice in June.
For that reason, he added, he
would not appeal for a court re

On Observance of
Daylight Saving
With daylight saving time
scheduled to go into effect at 2
a.m. next Sunday, confusion is
mounting in regard to what of
fices and services', will be avail
able at what time. A number of
government agencies were con
tacted today in an effort to clari

was found to be the rule, parti
cularly in the county building.
The Jackson county court has
announced it will remain on
standard time until it is ordered
by the governor to change. But
with nearly all business being
conducted on "fast" time, many
county offices are making ar
rangements to conform with the
majority practice.
To Make Change
The district attorney's office.
the county agent's office, county
justice court and the production
and marketing administration of
fice will all move their clocks
ahead.
Though chaos may nrevail for
a few days at least, the county
clerk's office and the sheriff's
office will attempt to keep an
eye on two sets of clocks. In
keeping with the policy of the
county court, they will leave
their official clocks set on stand.

doors an hour earlier for the
convenience of their patrons who
will be on saving time.
Others Conform
The county school superintend
ent's office will conform to the
time followed by the majority of
the schools in the county: the
county treasurer will follow the
lead of the court, ignoring all
the clock changing going on
about him.
Most federal agencies with of
fices in Medford are expected to
conform with the rest of the
community and will observe sav

office will be on daylight time
but mail deliveries will stay on
standard time due to standard
time on rail schedules. The state
board of control has ordered all
state offices to conform to the
prevailing time system in com

and all city offices will, of
course, observe the new time.

indicated it would consider a
petition for a new license after

The statement said Dr. Sander
had "decided to rely upon the
implied assurance of the board
with respect to his right to re

added that Dr. Sander "does not

". . . we believe that the ac

before the board to challenge
the character of Dr. Sander.

McCarthy Excluded
From Meeting of
Senate Committee
Lattimore Also
Said 'Excluded'
Washington, Apr. 25 (U.R)
&en. Joseph r. McCarthy, (it.,
Wis.), angrily charged that sen
ate investigators todav "exclud
ed" him from a closed session at
which his own witness gave
secret evidence on charges that
Owen Lattimore is a communist
spy.
McCarthy's witness is Louis F.
Budenz, former c o m m u n ist
editor.
McCarthy, who has made the
charges against Lattimore, said
a senate foreign relations sub
committee also "excluded Lat
timore. Originally Invited
Both McCarthy and Lattimore
originally had been invited to
the closed session.
After stalking out of the hear
ing room, McCarthy promised a
statement "in 30 minutes." But
at the appointed time, McCarthy
told reporters "It is taking some
time because I cannot think of
the proper swear words."
The closed committee session
was called to hear Budenz elab
orate on his previous public tes
timony that his onetime fellow
communists considered Latti
more under their discipline.
McCarthy said he and Latti
more were excluded from the
hearing before Budenz began his
testimony.
Shortly before 1 p.m.. McCar
thy appeared outside the com
mittee room, rapped on the door
and handed Sen. Bourke B. Hick
enlooper, (R., Ia.), an envelope
with the explanation that "it's
damned important." He refused
to tell reporters what it con
tained. Senator Too Busy
Asked why he had cancelled
his statement, McCarthy said he
was too busy but might have
one later this afternoon, depend
ing on what came out of the
committee.
McCarthy said Lattimore was
to receive a transcript of the
Budenz testimony. Asked wheth
er he was to be accorded the
same privilege, he replied:
I didn t ask them thai.
