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

Trade Union Congress, and car
ried on independently.
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 Trade Union Congress, un
der the leadership of Lim Yew
Hock, tried desperately t,o pre

colony's unions to the left. 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.

Nude Photo of Brando's Fiancee Offered for Sale
Paris (U.R) A full-length
nude portrait of Marlon Bran
do's fiancee looked out today
on the busy Place de L'Opera,
mecca for foreign tourists.
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.

More Polio Vaccine
Portland (U.R) Drt Harold
M. Erickson, state health offi
cer, said today he has asked for
enough Salk polio vaccine to
complete" second shots for some
46,820 first and second graders.
Dr. Erickson said he asked the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis to waive certain
rules and ship an additional 2,568
vials of vaccine to Oregon. This,
he said, would make supplies
sufficient to complete the second
shots. .
He said the delay would not
make the shots any less effective
