Green Advocates
Longer Work Week
WASHINGTON (/(*)—AFL pres
ident William Green proposed yes
terday management and labor
voluntarily set up a 45-hour work
week on an overtime pay basis as
a means of producing more goods
and helping to beat inflation.
The 74-year-old labor leader
told the Senate banking commit
tee that labor would cons’der the
extra work hours if Congress, in
turn, would approve an effective
means for halting the price spiral.
This would include most of the
10-point anti-inflation program
recommended to Congress by
President Truman, except stand
by authority to control wages,
Green said in a prepared state
ment.
Green suggested an extra hour
of wor ka day. He told a reporter
that this would mean an increase
from the present 40 hour work
week in most industries to 45
hours, with labor receiving time
and one half pay for the extra five
hours.
We Could Blunder
Into New War
DALLAS, (/P) — Gen. Omar
Bradley, the next army chief of
staff said here that, “If Russia
had the atomic bomb I don’t be
lieve they would hesitate to u.e it
on us.”
In an interview Friday night,
he also said, “I don’t think she
could—or would—fight now if she
could help it.
But he said he would not apply
his remarks about Russia not
wanting war with us now “to the
long run.”
There is danger of a blunder
causing war because “Russia has
taken such an aggressive stand in
pushing around other nations,” he
declared.

Alaska Highway
In Fine Shape
SEATTLE, </P) — The Alaska
Highway is in excellent shape and
the drive from Edmonton to Fair
banks definitely is not the hazard
ous undertaking many people
think it is.
That was the considered—and
definite—opinion expressed in
Seattle Wednesday by Bob Brandt
of the Territorial highway patrol
who left here for Fairbanks last
night via Portland, Spokane and
Edmonton, driving a 1948 auto
mobile to be delivered to the Fair
banks winter carnival association
“We get so many requests for
information, and people who nev
er have traveled the road put out
so much misinformation, that we
want to give people the right dope
on the road,” Brandt said.
He expects to be in Fairbanks in
six or seven days after leaving
Spokane.
Must Buy House
Despite Pip Pen
CLEVELAND, (/P)—When Wil
liam P. Bigler of Gates Mills con
tracted to buy a stone residence in
nearby Chesterland from Arnulf
G. Rose for $26,500, he hadn’t dis
covered the existense of a nearby
pig farm.
And when Bigler declined to go
through with the deal—too much
aroma, he said—Rose took the
case to court.
Now’ common pleas judge Julius
M. Kovachy, in a six-page mem
orandum, has ruled the odor in
the neighborhood is more imagin
ation than scent. Bigler will have
to go through with the purchase.
Not Possible To
Foretell Cost Of
Marshall Aid Plan
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Philip D.
Reed gave Congress a business
man’s estimate yesterday that no
one can tell within $5,000,000,000
how much the Marshall plan will
eventually cost, while Senator
Taft tR.-Ohio) predicted a GOP
Democratic Senate coalition will
cut the $6,800,000,000 asked to
start it.
Reed, chairman of the. board of
General Electric - company, said
that despite uncertainties as to the
cost he is “convinced that we must
proceed with the program.”
Without it, he said, western Eu
rope will be converted into “a po
litical and economic concentra
tion camp.”
\ Reed testified before the House
foreign affairs committee which is
holding hearings on the aid-to
Europe program. Taft made his
prediction in an interview.
<The Marshall plan proposes
that the United States give Europe
help for four years and three
months in rebuilding its war
shattered business and economic
structure. When President Tru

monstrous, white-haired, big

bank employees with poison Mon

branch of the Teikoku bank.
Examiners were unable to tell
how much, if any, loot had been

out the door and call for aid.
