King George's 53rd
Birth Anniversary
LONDON, (&)—More than 100,
000 persons jammed Central Lon
don yesterday to hail their king
on his official 53rd birthday with
a revival of prewar pomp and mil
itary splendor.
Under dark skies the colorful
traditional trooping of the colors
was staged for the first time since
1939.
One thousands bobbies con
trolled the crowds, eager for their
first chance to greet King George
VI since his illness.
They massed 30 and 40 deep
from Buckingham Palace along
the Mall to the parade ground be
hind Whitehall, the government
quarter.
The King’s birthday was Dec.

Ship Owners Seek
2-Coast Contract
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P> — The
Pacific American shipowners as
sociation wants a two-coast agree
ment with Jhe CIO marine engin
eers.
J. B. Bryan, president of PASA
said a negotiating committee
would fly back to New York in an
attempt to achieve such nn agree
ment.
Bryan said having two different
contracts, with different termina*
tion dates, with the same union on
two coasts didn’t make sense.
“We are eliminating 3.000 mile.
between the parties and will seek
immediate negotiations on a na
tional scale,” he declared. Bryan
will head the PASA committee.
Negotiations have been going
on here since April 18.

with them for six months, despite
oflicial protests. Britain has a
stinging grievance too. The most
serious British tiouble is trying to
^et the damaged sloop Amethyst
out of the Yangtze River to a Bri
tish port. It was attacked by com- '
munists April 19. All efforts to get i
a safe passage have failed.
The mouth tr. the Yangtze River i
was closed to navigation by the'
communists today. They said they I
feared it had been mined by re
treating nationalists.
In Athens a government com
munique said Greek national for
ces had voluntarily abandoned
two heights in the Grammes
Mountains. The Yugoslav news ‘
agency quoted a Greek guerrilla
report saying the communist reb-!
els had captured the entire Gram- |
mos area.
Friday. June 10, 1949
Western power representatives
in Berlin pressed the Russians to- j
day for weekend talks to solve the
Berlin rail strike. The Paris for
eign ministers conterence has set
a Monday deadline for settlement.
If the strike is not settled by
then it goes before the Paris con
ferees. Western representatives
have told the Russians they will j
not sign an east-west trade pact
until the strike is settled. The west i
says the onus is on Russia to end
the strike because the ftussians1
control the rail system.
The strike has stymied rail ship
ment of supplies into Berlin al
most from the day the Soviet
blockade of the city was lifted on
May 12. The airlift, trucks and
barges still are bringing in sup
plies.
In Paris, weary foreign minis
ters tried to salvage some accords
from their nearly three-week old
conference. So far it has been
marked by the same old differ-,
ences between Russia and the
west on the future of Germany.
Western officials have said the
ministers may propose the forma
tion of a four-power commission
to continue studying German
peace treaty prospects, if the pres
ent conference breaks .up without
any practical accomplishments.
This commission would lay the
groundwork for another four
power foreign ministers confer
ence later.
Also on the agenda of the pres
ent conference is the problem of
concluding an Austrian peace
treaty. Russia and the western na
tions are probably near agree
ment on Austria. But none of the
powers is keen on concluding the
Austrian treaty and withdrawing
troops while the prob'em of neigh
boring Germany is so explosive.
Elsewhere in the world:
In London prime minister Att
lee summoned his cabinet to try
to avert a general rail strike. Ne
gotiations between the executive
of the state owned railways and
the union broke down yesterday.
The men art seeking a 10 shilling
($2) weekly raise.
The Philippines interior secre
tary in Manila ordered a loyalty

rillas from getting governmen1

In Washington, some Senators
said they will push for a slash in
European recovery funds even if
it means the resignation of econo
mic cooperation administrator'
Paul Hoffman. Hoffman has *aid|
