Tries for Acceptance
Writing in ''The National Re

ments: "These diverse moves are de
signed to secure psychological,
moral and legal acceptance of
the Communist enterprise as a
normal, legitimate political
party alike in kind to other poli
tical parties, and therefore en
titled to the same rights and pri
vilages. This campaign for legi
timization is at the core of the
present strategy both of the So
viet government and the world
Communist enterprise."

Union Heads Balk At
Westinghouse Pact
Washington (U.R) Officials
of the AFL-CIO International
Electrical Workers union were
deadlocked temporarily today
on a compromise proposal to end
the 156-day Westinghouse Elec
tric Corp. strike.
The union's negotiating com
mittee recessed its attempt to
reach agreement early today un
til later this morning.
The proposal already accept
ed by the company was sched
uled to be turned over to the
union's 75-member Westinghouse
Conference Board this afternoon
along with the committee's rec
ommendations for a final de
cision. Marathon Session
The negotiating committee
held a marathon session all day
Monday and into the early morn
ing with the conference board
standing by. But, at 2:15 a.m.,
(EST) the negotiators abruptly
called a recess.
Union President James B.
Carey was understood to favor
acceptance of the proposal. But
Robert Nellis, chairman of the
conference board and a member
cf the negotiating team, was re
ported to be opposed.
Contract Retroactive
The proposal calls for a five
year contract retroactive to last
Oct. 15 with wage increases rang
ing from a minimum of 25 cents
an hour over the period and
ether fringe benefits.
The disagreement among the
negotiators was reported still to
center on the disposition of 36
discharged strikers one of the
main reasons the union rejected
the original compromise contract
proposal earlier this month.
It was understood the latest
proposal at least partly answer
ed some of the union's objections.

Portland Piannin
To Control Floods
Portland (U.R) The city of
Portland is laying plans to con
trol any floods that might rise
in the Willamette and Columbia
rivers this spring.
Mayor Fred L. Peterson, in a
letter to the city commissioners,
said, "As you know, we are
faced with a potential flood
threat in this area which may ex
ceed the levels of 1948. May I
suggest that you examine how
such flood threat will affect
operations of your bureau and
divisions in your department
and initiate necessary plans and
action to counter such threats."
The 1948 flood wiped out the
war housing community of Van
port and flooded the Portland
International airport and the
adjoining airforce base.
A state civil defense meeting
is scheduled for March 27 in
Portland to co-ordinate city,
county, state and military plans
for flood control.
Throng Pays Last
Tribute To Allen
New York U.R) The greats,
the has-beens and those who
never were said solemn fare
well today to the man who was
known as the sharpest wit and
the softest touch on Broadway.
He was born John Florence
Sullivan. He died as Fred Allen.
More than 800 persons, among
them celebrities and the curious,
heard a high requiem mass read
for the sad-eyed comedian at St.
Malachy's Roman Catholic
church where Allen married
Portland Hoffa in 1927.
Among them were such
friends as TV stars Steve Allen,
Herb Shriner and Robert Q.
Lewis. Also in attendance were
John Daly and Bennett Cerf,
Allen's fellow performers on
CBS-TV's "What My Line."
Herman Wouk, best selling
novelist who once worked as a
gag writer for Allen, attended
with his wife-. So did Peter Don
ald and Kenny Delmar, the
"Ajax Cassidy" and "Senator
Claghorn" of Allen's old radio
show.
Allen died last Saturday night
while walking his dog.
Allen's widow was dry-eyed
and composed throughout the
service. She arrived with come
dian Jack Haley, an old friend
and fellow vaudeville actor.

Union Refuses
Transit Contract
Portland (U.R) Negotiators
representing the Streetcarmen's
Union in Portland have refused
to take a transit company con
tract proposal back to their
members saying, "it has too
many strings tied to it." Nego
tiators also objected that the
contract proposal did not in
clude the employees of the in
terurban lines.
Mel Lienard, business agent
of the union, said last night that
an offer by the Rose City line
had been made. Lienard said
that Gordon "Steele, president of
the Rose City line, had been told
the union would not consider
any proposal that did not also
include the employees of Rose
city's co-firm Portland Traction
Company, which handles the in
terurban routes.
Lienard dsclined to say what
strings were attached to the
proposed contract that the union
found objectionable and also to
reveal what offers were made to
the union in the contract.
Negro Montgomery Improve
ment Association, and one of
90 accused conspirators.
To Build Proof
Solicitor William F. Bedford,
said he would build, "block by
block," proof that the associa
tion was formed to operate car
pools and otherwise foster the
boycott in violation of a little
used state boycott law.
King, Baptist minister, had de
scribed the boycott as a spon
taneous movement of passive re
sistance against "oppressive"
methods used to enforce segrega
tion on the buses.
To Improve Status
The Rev. A. W. Wilson, Negro
Baptist minister, testified the as
sociation was formed "to im
prove the general status" of
Montgomery Negroes and "see
better treatment of them."
However, Mrs. E. A. Dungee,
asked as financial secretary to
identify more than 50 checks
issued by the MIA, testified that
most of them were used to pay
for gasoline used in car pools
of the boycotters.
