Boost To Adjournment Drive
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28— (AP)—The drive to ad
journ Congress by the middle of next month got a boost
today with House approval of two pay bills—one for the
military, the other for postoffice workers.
The fast-moving House okayed both measures ye terday

House, and passing the $180,000,000 posoffice measure
on to the Senate. Early action is expected there, despite

Tokyo Rose
Jury Still
Deadlocked
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28 ~
(AP) — Six silent men and six
silent women try once more today
to decide whether Tokyo Rose is
guilty of treason for ber wartime
radio broadcasts from Jepan.
They reported late iast night,
34 hours and 30 minut=s after they
had received the case, they they
were unable to agree on a verdict.
Judge Michael J, Koche urged
them to “reconsider and reexamine
all the evidence,” as leisurely as
they liked, to prevent if possible
2 second long and expensive trial.
This trial is in its 12ta week.
They had begun deliberating the
case agginst the American-born
defendant, Iva Toguri D’Aquino,
at 11:44 a. m. (2:14 p. m. EST)
Monday.
The trial ‘hc. been a long and
expensive one for both the pros
ecution and the defense,” Judge
Roche told them.
“If you fail to agree on a ver
dict,” he continued, “the case is
left open and undecided; it must
be disposed of some time.”
Iva is charged with eight overt
acts of treason.
The grave-faced jurers yester
day asked for stenographie records
of testimony on three of those
eight. The jury did not want the
record read aloud in court, foreman
John Mann explained, because
“the certain passage we wish
would be indicative of the jury's
present state of mind,”
To find the former UCLA coed
gunltg, jurors must decide that she
btoadcast her chatter-and-music
programs *with intent to betray
(America), and to give aid and
comfort to the enemies.”
She testitied in her own behalf
that her program. were purelx

The postoffice pay bill would

Economy — A White House
backed bill to boost salaries of top

a previously-defeated amendment
to require President Truman to
cut five to 10 per cent off the gov

The amendment lost an earlier

a gun in each hand, held up a

The gunman had been brows

“This is a stickup. There's no

He herded eight customers

ATHENS, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1949,
9 Hungarian Diplemats
Expelled By Yugoslavia
Tito Accuses Soviet Union,
Satellites Of Rattling Arms
BELGRADE, YUGOSLAVIA, Sept. 28— (AP)—Yugo
slavia slapped back at one-time Communist partner last
night by ordering nine Hungarian diplomats to get out of
the country.
The action, widening the iron curiain rift between Pre
mier Marshal Tito and the Russian Bloc, Followed by 24
hours Hungary’s action in giving walking papers to 10 Yu
goslav legation officials in Budapest.
Tanjug, the official Yugoslav
news agency, sald Hungary obvi
ously intended to “bring about
severance of diplomatic relations
between Yugoslavia and Hunga
ry.”
Meanwhile Marshall Tito in an
address accused Russia and her
Cominform (Communist Interna
tional Information Bureau) satel
lites of “rattling their arms” along
the Yugoslav border. The Com
inform countries, said Tito are
“digging trenches in Hungary and
Romatiia.
~Just before Tito’s speech, Yugo-~
-slavia’s foreign minister Edvard
Kardelj told the United Nations
’assembly in New York that Rus
‘sia is using all sorts of pressure—
from economic blockade to armed
demonstrations — to further “im
perialistic” aims against his coun
try.
(A Tanjug broadcast heard in
London said Yugoslavia had pro
tested to the United "States, Bri
tain and Russia that Hunagry has
broken her peace treaty by cutting
off the delivery of war repara
tions.)
There was no immediate an
nouncement of just which mem
‘bers of the Hungarian legation
were ordered out of Yugoslavia.
‘But Hungary earlier had decreed
the departure of everyone con
nected with the Yugoslav legation
except the minister, Drugo Jova
novic, and he is not in Hungary at
present.
Hungary’s expulsion order fol
lowed the trial of former Foreign
Minister Laszlo Rajk and seven
associates on charges c¢f trying to
overthrow the present #ungarian
regime in favor of pro-Tito gov
ernment. Tito on Saturday per~
sonally declared these charges
were false and were part of a Rus
sian plot to stage a revolution in
Yugoslavia.
In his speech yesterday Tito sald
Russia was trying to use the “old
Roman principle of divide and
rule” in her relations with her
satellites.

Thrill Hunters §
Nabbed By Cops
THRILL HUNTERS .. .... P-1.
CHICAGO, Sept. 28 — (AP) —
Two high school boys were hauled
off a railroad embankment by
police yesterday, halting what the
youths described as their hewly
@iscovered idea of a thrill,
Detectives had seen the boys
walking along the tracks and then
burrow into a 10-inch deep open
ing under the ties. The officers
became more curious when they
saw the boys spread a sheet over
them.
The cops wanted an explanation.
“We like to lie under the tracks
and watch the trains go over us,”
they told Detective James O'Neal
and John Pretzel. “We were do
ing it just for a kick.”
Firemen, Kknginemen
Strike Threatened
Nationwide Walkout Hinted Next
Month; Coal Strike Tension Rises
Aoy By The Associated Press
Tension mounted in the country’s coal strike and a
showdown neared in the disputes which threaten strikes
by steel and Ford Motor Co. workers.
There was & new strike threat—a nationwide walkout
of railway firemen and enginemen next month in protest of
the rejection of a union demand for ap extra fireman on
diesel engines.
John L. Lewis’ 480,000 United
Mine Workers remained idle for
the 10th day but some 22,000 in
dependent and non-union miners
were working. Many passed pick
et lines. Guards armed with guns
protected more than 1,000 non
union miners in Western Pennsyl
vania coal fields. There were re-
ports of violence
in Pennsylvania,
Ohic, Utah and
Illinois as reports
of increased pic-
Labor
Roundup
keting came from several mining
states. ‘
* Meanwhile, with no indication
of an early end of the walkout,‘
UMW officials planned to meet to- ‘
day with Southern operators at‘
Bluefield, W. Va. Lewis may go
to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.,‘
tomorrow for resumption of con
iract talks with Northern and
Western operators. |
Negotiators in the steel dispute
were going to try again today to,
reach settlement on the pension
issue. The strike deadline is mid
night Friday and a walkout is ex
pected to make idle some 1,000,000
CIO United steelworkers.
Midnight tonight is the dead
line for a strike by some 115,000
CIO United Auto Workers at the
Ford Motor Co. - But company and
union representatives worked
throughout the night in efforts to
reach agreement on a new con-!
tract.
Pension Plan 1
There was no indication a set
tlement was imminent but a Ford
official said last night the com
pany was ready to give a pension
plan that would cost a maximum
of 10 cents an hour per worker,
That was the amount recom
mended by a presidential fact
finding board in the steel indus
try. However, discussion over
such issues as temporary layoffs
and production standards were re
ported holding up final agreement
rather than pension apd insurance
demands.
In Washington, David B. Rob
ertson, president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, said the union’s exe
cutive board will meet in Chica
go Oct. 7 and will recommend a
strike against all of the nation’s
class one railroads.
. Extra Man
A presidential emergency board
on Sept. 19 rejected the union’s
demand, stating that the extra
man was unnecessary. An earlier
presidential board - also had re
jected a similar union request for
another engineer on diesels, which
now are run by one engineer and
one fireman.
The rail workers are barred by
law from striking until 30 days
after an emergency board reports
its finding.
There was a little bright spot
in the labor picture, The threaten
ed strike of 65,000 AFIL. East coast
dock workers appeared to have
haen dalavad fox at loast 20 davs,
The negotiating committee of the
AFL International Longshore
men’s Association -agreed , to re
commend a month éxtensicn of the
present contract.
