In the following dispatch a United Press correspondent describes how the strike resulted from a straggle for political contol of unions representing 400,000 workers. Br WEE KIM WEE United Press Correspondent Singapore (U.R) The general trike that has almost paralyzed Singapore is the result of a long struggle between two political groups trying to gain control of 120 trade unions and 400,000 workers. For the past five or six years Singapore's trade unions lacked efficient leadership. Strikes of ten fizzled out through lack of organization and support. Four years ago the trade un ions formed a united front, hop ing to strengthen their position. But the leaders fought over petty problems and the movement stalemated. Several big unions broke away from the organization, called the JKa fiom the famous KX Vr M.C.P. KITCHEN LABORATORY DQOV$9PR 1953 MWT0 lA"lm V00!"'' f2tfS7$VVV3 YOU GET MOKE AND BETTER JAMS...

When the British government decided last year to give the peo ple of Singapore a bigger hand in government, a new political organization called- the Peoples Action Party was formed. It was headed by Lee Kuan Yew, a fiery Chinese lawyer returned from England. Others who formed the nu cleus of the party were powerful trade union leaders. Some had well known leftist leanings. Picked Up Strength In a matter of months the Peoples Action Party picked up considerable strength. More and more unions joined the P.A.P. camp.

The surprise victory of the labor front in the April elections raised some hope that a balance of power could be achieved. Chief Minister David Marshall and his Labor colleagues, includ ing Lim Yew Hock who became minister of labor in the new ad ministration, had hardly 'taken office when they were over whelmed by several big strikes. The government's headache was made severe by the partici pation of thousands of Chinese students in the industrial un rest. The biggest strike was the tie up of city buses last month. It culminated in the bloody riot of May 12 in which United Press Correspondent Gene Symonds was killed by a mob of Communist-led strikers. Men Accused At a legislative Assembly ses sion three days after the riot, Chief Minister Marshall did not mince words as he pointed an accusing finger at two Assembly men from the Peoples Action Party. He laid the blame for the riot at their doorstep. Marshall, without mentioning names, told PAP Secretary" Lee Kuan Yew that he was being used "as a catspaw by forces of l evil." Lee retaliated with a warning that the government should pay more attention to labor's com plaints. He denounced colonial ism, and said the only way to solve Singapore's problem was to grant immediate independ ence to her people. At the same session Marshall gave some assurance to the jit tery people of Singapore. He said the government would see that Chinese students involved in the May 12 riot would be ex pelled from their schools, and the schools would be asked to show cause why they should not be struck off the register. Government Retreats But before a week had passed, the government retreated. In stead of such direct action, it agreed to set up an all party committee of legislative assem blymen to investigate the whole situation of Chinese education in Singapore. The press and the public open ly called this the greatest blun der of the Marshall government and said this "weakness" was the cause of the general strike that followed. T.f.f Whiter!

The painting was put up for sale in a department store win dow, and French newspapers were wondering: "Will Marlon buy it?" The picture shows the Am erican film star's 20-year-old girl friend, Josiane Mariani Bereng- er, reclining launguidly on a red divan. She is wearing only a red scarf tied around her head. Curious Gather Once the undraped subject of the painting became known, large groups of curious onlook ers formed in front of the store window in the bustling Boule vard dei Italiens. In the crowds were m my American tourists en route to the American Express a block away, or drifting over from the Cafe de la Paix, famed gathering place of travelers. The price of the portrait seem ed adjusted to a movie star's wallet at 3,000,000 francs, or $8,571. Sale of the painting is part of a charity campaign to send poor children to summer camps. Admired Pictures The subject of the portrait, Josiane, is the daughter of a French fisherman in the village of Bandol. She enjoyed a meteor ic rise to fame last October when Brando suddenly popped up in Bandol and courted her on his motorbike. 1 The star .of "On the Water- front,"tfhis award-winning film, admitted last November that he had seen some of the naked pic tures of his fiancee and admired them greatly. "It's art," he said at the time, "Why should I be upset?" Manslaughter Charge Against Pair Dropped Klamath Falls (U.R) Dis- - trict Attorney Frank Alderson said today he has filed for dis missal of the manslaughter in dictment against Leon Gale Pearson and Melvin Chiloquin. Pearson and Chiloquin had been scheduled for trial next Monday in connection with the death of John Madrueno, 25-year-old railroad worker who was found dead in a snowbank at a Chiloquin ranch last February. Alderson said there was not enough evidence to prove all the material allegations of the in dictment. He asked for resub mission of the case to the grand jury for investigation on another, indictment charging a lesser crime. HOMESICK PATIENT Indianapolis (U.R) Wor ried officials at James Whit comb Riley Hospital here put police on the trail of an 11-year-old patient who disappeared from his bed. But David Mobley, who was being treated for an intestinal disorder was marched back to the hospital by his par ents. He said he got homesick and caught a bus home.
