British Truck Drivers Go on Strike Against Order for Gasoline Rationing London (U.R) Hundreds of Wuck drivers walked off their " Jobi today in the first open re volt against the government's rastic Suez gasoline, rationing order. The truck drivers protested against fuel tuts that brought an order from- the nationalized British Road Services to lay off ohe crew in every 10 to stretch waning gasoline supplies until fuel can. again be shipped & through the Suez Canal. British Road Services head quartets said about 1-.000 men wer on strike at 11 a.m. at BRS depots in London. The nationalized truck line-operates practically all long dis tance highway freight transpor tation in Britain. Drtring Curtailed The government Tuesday an nounced a return to strict wartime-type fuel rationing, cutting down on all consumers except schools and hospitals. Motorists will be limited to the equivalent of 200 miles driving per month, effective Dec. 17. The rationing announcement had one other immediate effect. The usual London rush hour traffic jams almost vanished this morning. Buses, subways and commuter trains carried near record loads. Trucking companies were or dered to cut gasoline consump tion by 10 per cent, and the gov- Publisher Offers Plan for Mandatory Spelling Change Porterville, Calif.. (U.PJ forbidden to use any spellings A newspaper publisher who used to be kept in after school, be cause he spelled phonetically has published a plan for a govern-ment-pOnsore4 grammar com mission that would make re formed spelling mandatary. Homer W. Wood, publisher of the Porterville Evening Record er, believes that children, are unnecessarily confused by the complex and illogical variations of spelling and pronunciation, that have grown into the Eng lish, language. It's time, said Wood, for the federal government to take steps to mtreamline English for the fcenefit of not only children, but all the harried teachers, busi ness men, secretaries, publish ers and printers who have to wrestle wun arcnaic spelling. 4 Here's how Wood proposed to accomplish his revolutionary proposal: l.oCongress would establish a National Grammar Commission consisting of a chairman and at least five persons appointed by the president with wid.e powers to revise'spelling and pronuncia tion of existing words and to establish spelling and pronuncia tion t new words. 2. The commission would establish, write and edit a United Stales Official Diction ary containing all words in com mon usage arranged according to. revised spellings. Unneces sary, unused words would be discarded and new words coined . when found advisable. Cther Efforts' Failed 3. The commission. would or der. the National Printing Office M print' a limited number of new iiu uuira L icrs lur guvei uiucut J use only. " 4. Publication of dictionaries ior ejenrrai use. wouia oe leu 10 private firms' which would be or pronunciations otner man those approved by the commis sion and published in the U. S Official Dictionary. Wood hopes his plan will meet with wider support than prev ious attempts to reform Eng lish spelling. He recalled that President Theodore Roosevelt asked the National Printing Office to use reformed spelling in 1905, but nothing much came of the re quest. The Chicago Tribune used reformed spelling for many years but gave it up except for words such as "tho," "thru," "thoro" and a few other simpli fications. Might Look Like This If Wood had his way, the Declaration of Independence might look like this: "Wen, in the cors of human events, it becums necesary for one pepul to disolv the political bands which thay conected them with another, and to asume amung the powers of the urth, the separate and equl stashun to wich the laws of nature and of nature's God entitul them, a decent respect to the opinyuns of mankind reqires that they shud declare the causes wich Impel them to the separa shun . . .." ernment enforced the cut by lay ing off 10 per cent of all vehicles. Truck drivers began walking off their jobs early today protest of the order. Tons of food and other merchandise was left standing on the loading docks and in idle vans. Big Market Idle One of the first five depots idled by the strike was the Covent Garden produce market, London's main supply center for fruits and vegetables. Private motorists, long expect ing the government's decision, apparently took it calmly. How ever, there was a rush for empty containers, apparently for use in hoarding any supplies on hand. Some apologized for buy ing gasoline containers by tell ing shopkeepers they wanted them for brewing dandelion wine. Industrial leaders warned Apples Should Be Handled Gently Madison, Wis. (U.R) Apples, like other fruit, not only should not be squeezed at the market, they should be handled gently even in the orchard. George, Klingbeil, fruit spe cialist at the University of Wis consin, said apples should be picked a special way. The fruit on the tree should be held in the palm of the hand, lifted to one side and up, with a slight turn as it is lifted. ij:' v.' , - Shop for Toys Now Only 28 AT So.

The TOY HOUSE ' 317 EAST MAIN Marilyn Disappoints Press Photographers New York (U.R) A tired Marilyn Monroe returned home today and gave photographers their biggest disappointment since she turned briefly to high necked dresses a while back. The blonde movie queen step ped off a plane shortly after 8 a.m. frem London where she just finished the movie "The Sleeping Prince" with Sir Laur ence Olivier. Most of Marilyn was covered by a mink coat and severe blac! dress. She wore dark glasses, too, although they were perched atop her blonde curls. She brushed off a crowd of newsmen and photographers and hurried into a hired limousine with her husband, playwright Arthur Miller, and her secre tary, Lois Weber. "nasty repercussions" were al most inevitable in the rationing program. Fuel rationing will hit the private motorist hardest, but se vere cutbacks were also in store for the transport business, farm ers, commercial fishermen, mari time chipping and passengers lines, and all other industries which need oil to remain in op eration. The Irish government was also expected to announce a gasoline rationing scheme to day. Authoritative sources feared widespread industrial disloca tion, production cutbacks and layoffs of thousands of workers in Britain.
