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.

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.
