Union Wants
Less Work,
No Pay Cut
ATLANTIC CITY RP) - The
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union made it clear yesterday that
it wants a 35-hour work week with
no reduction in pay, regardless of
the wishes of the Kennedy Ad-
ministration.
Delegates to the union's bien-
nial convention c h e e r e d and,
pounded their feet for almost five
minutes in supporting a resolution
that specifically authorized the
goal in the next negotiations in
the men's apparel industries.
The 35-hour work week with
no pay cut has been the main point
of emphasis since the convention
began on Monday.
Congressional Action
Besides calling for the shorter
work week in its own industries,
the 400,000-member union passed
another resolution similar to one-
already approved, both urging
Congress to make the 35-hour week
a standard by amending the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Yesterday's action was taken de-
spite disapproval voiced for the
administration Tuesday by Secre-
tary of Labor Arthur Goldberg.
"Let me say categorically for
the national Administration that
the President and the Administra-
tion do not feel that reduction of
hours will be a cure to our econom-
ic problems or to employment,"
Goldberg told the convention.
No Mention
Vice-President Lyndon B. John-
:son did not mention the matter in
a speech yesterday to the conven-
tion.
A test of the union's new policy
P will not come until June 1, 1963,
when the three-year contracts cov-
ering 125,000 coat and suit indus-
try workers expire. The three-year
contracts covering another 100,000
men's apparel workers will expire
June 1, 1964.'
NEW CRISIS-The de Gaulle government of France faced a new
crisis today as five cabinet ministers resigned today without
prior notice. Premier Georges Pompidou (right) has taken over
the duties of the Minister of Regional Planning. President
Charles de Gaulle (left) is currently engaged in a four-day tour
of Central France.
Resin in Protest
Of De Gaullist Policies
PARIS ) - Five cabinet ministers suddenly resigned yesterday,
creating the first rift in President Charles de Gaulle's recently re-
vamped government.
But de Gaulle quickly filled the breach last night with new ap-
pointees and left on schedule for a four-day tour of Central France.
The five who resigned are members of the Catholic Popular Repub-
lican party. They quit because de Gaulle continued to oppose their idea
oof a politically integrated Europe.
Marines

SIndonesians
HOLLANDIA OP) - Dutch au-
thorities yesterday announced cap-
ture of 20 Indonesians in the vest-
pocket war at the tip of West New
Guinea.
The government said the In-
donesians, wearing camouflage
uniforms and bearing rifles, sub-
machine guns and grenades, were
rounded up by marines while try-
ing to land in a boat near Fakfak
Tuesday.
The captives were identified as
members of the mobile brigade of
the Indonesian state police. They
were quoted as saying they had
orders to inflitrate near Fakfak,
a copra port of 5,000 on the Ceram
sea.
Calls Relations
Normal Again
BONN EP)-Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer told his cabinet yester-
day that Bonn-Washington rela-
tions are normal again after a per-
iod of disharmony over the Berlin
issue.
Government Press Chief Felix
Von Eckardt said Adenauer told
the cabinet that his recent talks
with Walter C. Dowling, United
States ambassador, and Tuesday's
meeting in Washington between
President John F. Kennedy and
G e r m a n Ambassador Wilhelm
Grewe brought satisfactory re-
sults. °
But Von Eckardt indicated at a
news conference that there still
were differences of opinion over
details of United States proposals
for an interim solution of the
East-West dispute over Berlin.
The press chief refused to di-
vulge details but said the ques-
tions still were under discussion
between the Bonn Foreign Office
and the State Department.
Adenauer told parliamentarians
of his Christian Democratic Par-
ty Tuesday that his relations with
Kennedy were "as good as ever."
Asked whether Adenauer, be-
cause of improved relations, now
will change his mind about calling
Crewe home, Von Eckardt said,
"one must wait and see."
More immediately pressing factors
-Algerian bloodshed and a series
of strikes in France - did not fig-
ure in the cabinet walkout.
The departure of the five re-
moved one of the meager political
underpinnings of the Gaullist cab-
inet, leaving it more than ever a
team of non-party technicians.
Reshuffle Ministers
After hours of consultations, the
recently installed Premier Georges
Pompidou announced a reshuffled
team with Pompidou himself tak-
ing over the additional duties of
the Minister of Regional Planning.
As expected, the newcomers are
mostly technicians. George Gorse
moved up from an undersecretary
post to take over the Ministry in
Charge of Cooperation with the
New States of Africa.
Gilbert Grandval, recently Sec-
retary of State for Foreign Trade,
took over as Minister of Labor.
Newcomer
Raymond Marcellin, a conserv-
ative deputy and the only new-
comer to cabinet rank in this ad-
ministration, was named Minister
of Health.
Roger Dusseaulx, a Gaullist
deputy, became. Minister of Pub-
lic Works.
A communique from the Elysee
Palace gave de Gaulle the' last
word. It simply said he had "de-
cided to put an end to the func-
tions" of the defecting five by ac-
cepting their resignations. It did
not add the customary word of
tribute for past services.
Disarmament
Perils Cited
GENEVA OP)--British Delegate
Joseph Godber warned yesterday
that disarmament could become a
death trap if it upsets the world
military balance at any stage.
Godber told the 17-nation dis-
armament conference Soviet pro-
posals for a complete elimination
of all nuclear delivery vehicles
could impair this balance and
would not eliminate the threat of
nuclear war.
He said a nuclear warhead
capable of destroying a whole city
is a cylinder only five feet long
and two feet in diameter which
could be easily transported by
commercial planes or other means.
The U. S. disarmament treaty
draft calls for a 330-per cent re-+
duction of the delivery vehicles
with both the U. S. and Soviet'
proposal retaining nuclear wea-
pons un' il at least the end of the
second stage of disarmament,

For Renewal
Reminds Bulgarians
Of Russian Power
VARNA, Bulgaria ()-Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev said yester-
day the Soviet Union is preparing
a new series of nuclear tests in
answer to recent American shots
in the atmosphere.
The Soviet leader made the
statement to Western correspond-
ents covering his state visit to Bul-
garia.
Asked whether he had said ear-
lier in the day that the Soviet Un-
ion would renew its atom blasts,
Khrushchev replied:
Forced Renewal
"Yes I said it. We are forced to
renew ouratests because, despite
our appeals, the Americans did not
refrain from renewing theirs."
Khrushchev told the Bulgarians
the "socialist camp has adequate
forces, the means to curb the ag-
gressors," and added:
"We persistently urge the states-
men of all countries, irrespective
of their social order :the issue of
peace or war is an issue of life or
death."
Khrushchev spoke with Western
newsmen after a speech at a pub-
lic meeting in Varna's main square.
In the main, Khrushchev was in
a jovial mood as he toured this
Miami Beach of the Soviet bloc,
alternately joking with the easy-
going Bulgarians or lecturing
them.
Khrushchev also told a meeting
of shipyard workers that many
Russians have a false understand-
ing of Communism. He described
their idea of the future paradise
as "eating more and working less."
Reproaches Bulgarians
In a mild reproach to the eco-
nomically lagging Bulgarians, he
asked: "Are you satisfied with your
situation today?"
"You might be satisfied with to-
day's situation in comparison with
yesterday's but you want even
more for tomorrow. Am I right?
The only way to achieve this,
he said, was to work harder and
improve the standard of life in
Bulgaria, one of the lowest in
Eastern Europe.
Con-Con Sees
City Problem,
Says Bromage
The new Michigan Constitution
proposed by the recently conclud-
ed Con-Con will, if it is accept-
ed by the voters, give a long-de-
layed constitutional recognition of
the metropolitan problem, Prof.
Arthur W. Bromage, chairman of
the political sciend department,
maintained yesterday.
Speaking at the biennial council
meeting of the Michigan League
of Women Voters, Prof. Bromage
noted that the proposed Consti-
tution "contains language author-
izing the Legislature to establish
in metropolitan areas additional
forms of government or authorities
with powers, duties and Jurisdic-
tions as the Legislature shall pro-
vide."
The new Constitution preserves
home rule for cities and villages
for the present, he said. But, "re-
mote as it may now seem, demand'
may someday ,arise for great me-
tropolitan miilti-functional au-
thorities or even super-govern-
ments to serve wider areas." Such
super-governments would in effect
constitute another level of govern-
ment between local units and the
state.
He emphasized that this provi-
sion was meant only to allow the
Legislature power to act if, some-
day in the future, the home-rule
pattern should become inalequate.
"No one argues that Michigan to-
day is ready for super-govern-
ments above the local level of con-
stitutional units."
World News Roundup
By The Associated Press
PARIS--The French cabinet yesterday confirmed that the self-
determination referendum in Algeria will take place July 1. This was
the date proposed by the Algerian Provisional Executive in Algeria
last week. The Executive will conduct the vote, which is expected to
be in favor of Algerian independence.
WARTFORD-Sen. Prescott Bush, 67-year-old Republican, with-
drew yesterday from a re-election race, saying he lacked strength for
the campaign and for future Senate service.
OMAHA-Freshman Congressman Ralph Beermann yesterday
clinched Republican renomination in Nebraska's reorganized first
congressional district by ousting a four-term GOP colleague, Rep.
Phil Weaver. Congressional redistricting made necessary by loss of
one of the state's four House members made rivals of Beermann and
Weaver in Tuesday's primary election.

WASHINGTON-Rep. Carroll D. Kearns of Pennsylvania, senior
Republican on the House Labor Committee and veteran of eight
terms in Congress, was unseated in Tuesday's primary election.

PARIS-Ex-Gen. Raoul Salan charged yesterday that Gen. Charles
de Gaulle's followers once tried to murder him with a bazooka and
now are -trying to destroy him under cover of law. Salan, supreme
military commander in Algeria before he turned against the govern-
ment to head the Secret Army Organization fight to keep Algeria
French, made the accusation, at the second day of his treason trial.
WASHINGTON-Glenn L. Seaborg, chairman of the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission, testified yesterday that delays in completing a new
super powered reactor are costing a year's production of plutonium
for nuclear weapons. Seaborg also told the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee that there have been technical setbacks in work on
a nuclear powered space rocket.
WASHINGTON-A new measure to pay the final $73 million due
on Philippine World War II damage claims was approved by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday. A favorable Rules Committee
vote would clear it for floor action perhaps late next week and at least
partially alleviate the strain on United States-Philippine relations
that followed the House's surprise rejection of a similar bill last week.

TOKYO-Fight, talk, fight, talk.
That has been the Communist
pattern in Laos for seven years.
Based on past performance and
their present statements, the
Pathet Lao and its Communist
backers in North Viet Nam and
Red China now believe the time
has come to talk again.
Prince Souphanouvong's Pathet
Lao would like nothing better than
to take over the control of all
Laos at one swoop. But its lead-
ers know this cannot be done with-
out the great risk of direct retalia-
tion by Western forces. So they
probably will not expand their re-
cent military success in Northwest-
ern Laos into a general offensive.
This is particularly so since the
United States is now moving into
adjoining Thailand with a combat
force of about 5,000 men and
planes.
Military Panic
Sudden Pathet Lao thrusts,
backed by the North Vietnamese,
have thrown the Royal Laotian
Army into panic several times in
the past. These attacks have al-
ways been local and unexploited.
Last week while the royal army
and the population at Houei Sai
fled pell mell across the Mekong
River to Thailand, the pursuing
force, though virtually unopposed,

never attempted to go into the
border town.
The Pathet Lao may do so at a
later date, but so far it has avoid-
ed taking any town along the Me-
kong where the river forms the
border with Thailand because of
possible intervention by the United
States or the Southeast Asia Trea-
ty Organization.
With the capture of Muong
Sing and Nam Tha, the pro-Com-
munists have cleared Northwestern
Laos of Royal Army resistance and
once again made their point-that
the government had better resume
talks.
A Pathet Lao offensive in March
and April last year on the road
from the royal capital of Luang
Prabang caused a similar panic in
Vientiane. The government sought
a cease-fire which was declared
May 3.
Troops Surrender
The government since then ex-
panded and trained its army in-
tensively. But the debacle of the
5,000-man garrison at Nam Tha
proved again the inability of the
Laotian national army to stand a
determined attack.
The Pathet Lao claims that 1,-
800 men ofthe national army were
captured or surrendered at Muong
Sing and Nam Tha. If so this is
the most serious blow the Lao ar-
my has ever suffered.
Negotiations now seem likely to
bring Prince Souvanna Phouma
back from Paris to resume his ef-
forts to form a neutral coalition
government.
Furthermore, the Pathet Lao
keeps describing the action in
Nam Tha and Muong Sing as a
counter attack to "protect liber-
ated areas" from government
troops who allegedly used Nam Tha
as a base to launch offensives.
-This charge, whether true or
not, indicates that the Nam Tha
attack was considered a local ef-
fort.
In line with that strategy, the
Pathet Lao's main force is report-
ed pulling back from Houei Sai,
90 miles southwest of Nam Tha
and farthest point of the Commu-
nist advance.
Now Peiping has broadcast
statements by Pathet Lao leaders
urging a resumption of negotia-
tions on formation of a coalition
government-provided the United
States withdraws its small military
advisory group from Laos.
. So the stage is set again for
talks,
But if the talk period ends with-
out the desired result, the Pathet
Lao can be expected to launch an-
other push.

Now that we have learned the how of girl watching, let's
consider a few safety precautions. They are presented,
not as strict rules (since some experts with highly de-
veloped eyeball control enjoy watching while running
the high hurdles, for example), but merely as friendly
suggestions. 1. Don't watch while driving. 2. Don't watch
while drilling teeth (dental students only). 3. Don't watch
while removing tonsils (medical students only). 4. Don't
watch while mixing chemicals in the lab. 5. Don't watch
girls who are engaged to the captain of the football team.
Our final suggestion is a do, not a don't. Taste Pall Mal
-so smooth, so satisfying, so downright smokeable!
