Fifteen Buhner workers walked out last Monday after the company, according to union officials, fired two workers for "union activity." The company denied the men were fired and contended they were laid off because of a slump in business. Three other workers were laid off on Saturdays only, too, the company said.

One Stayed On Job. One employee stayed on the job and another, Mellor said, was sick at the time the strike started. All those who walked out were members of the teamsters local and had been negotiating for company recognition at the time the men were "fired," union officials said. The company, declaring it had "reason to believe such is not the case," said it had offered to hold the election of employees before the strike was begun. Arthur P.

Stitzel, 72, Official Of distillery Here, Dies Law Director Answers Foes Of Annexation Burnett and Cardwell Support Move On Forum Answers to critics of Louisville's proposed annexation plan were made yesterday by City Law Director Gilbert C. Burnett on yesterday's WGRC Tri-City Forum. "The City simply cannot afford the kind of generosity it is now dispensing," he said. "If Louisville is to remain a great city, it must clo something now to get more money for its support." "People living barely beyond the City limits get their water, their sewage, their transportation, their merchandise, and their prestige from Louisville, yet they want no responsibility for these privileges. Two Object to Proposal.

"When they go to another city, they are proud to call Louisville their home, but when the tax collector comes around, they're pleased to say they don't live there. Now I think they should be good citizens and keep Louisville a city they can be proud of," Burnett said. Harvey Cardwell, Louisville accountant, supported Burnett, pointing out, however, that the City will have to float a bond issue if the annexations are to serviced properly in the near future. Objections to the City's proposal were made by Jack Fulton, Louisville attorney, and Howard L. Miller, president of the Camp Taylor Development Company.

Both Fulton and Miller forecast inadequate facilities for their communities if they are annexed. It would be a long time, they said, before the City could afford good service for the new areas.

She has Rained about twenty pounds but looks well. And she is singing like an angel. Her vocal powers are under better control than when nhe left. Repose of the singing voice has done her good. Perhaps one has forgotten how beautiful her singing always was.

When she bcean her recital yesterday with Beethoven's "Biisslied." the first thought that came to mind was that certainly since her departure none of us has heard anything comparable. Never in this writer's conceit-going lifetime, as a matter of fact, has there been available any other vocal artistry of such sumptuous natural acoustics, such perfect technical control and such sound musicianship. Miss Flagstad's is the dream voice of all time, and never has it seemed so lovely as yesterday. Neither have her interpretations, either, seemed more vigorous, more rich in variety of vocal affect. She sang loud and she sang soft, very loud and very soft.

She sang darkly and also with the brightest of tone color. She sang legato, staccato, portamento and with that absolute equality of emphasis in wide skips that is the true bravura style of the dramatic soprano. She sang a long program and lots of encores, showed no sign of fatigue. So far as a recital program permits, she showed us that she is as good as ever and probably better than when we last heard her. The highest note called for w-as an if I mistake not.

That was long, full and glorious. Sc, indeed, was the whole, recital. Tribune, Monday. April 7, 1947 appearing at the tomorrow night, 8:15 A 1 veriee Cleveland rabbi, said here yesterday.

He ad dressed more than 200 Jewish leaders at the Kentucky State Conference of the United Jewish Appeal campaign for $170,000,000. The funds are for the relief and rehabilitation of Jews in Europe. The meeting was held at the Kentucky Hotel. The speaker declared displaced Jews were existing on an "animal level" despite the "humane and co-operative" attitude of the U.

S. Army. He reported the morale of the Jewish D.P.'s at low ebb and said that only the hope of eventual emigration continues to sustain them. "Remove that hope," he warned, "and you invite disaster." Rabbi Brickner, commenting on the cessation of U.N.R.R.A. activities, said "The discrepancy between human needs and financial support is wide and must be bridged." Dr.

William Haber, economist, University of Michigan, asserted Jewish refugees reaching the United States are "pathetically eager to stand on their own feet and repay the hospitality which they find here."

Heh' auf dein blonde Haupt, Mnrifnullmniuni Wolf Flagttad'n Return BOSTON. April Kirsten Flagstad's first public appearance in the United States since her regretted (and regrettable) departure in 1941 took place yesterday afternoon at Symphony Hall in Boston.

The house was full, and her reception was of the warmest. Indeed, a more massive welcome could hardly be imagined. There was cheering, shouting, stamping of feet and such clapping of hands as only Boston's enthusiasm can produce. Nothing lacked for an ovation of the first category save possible whistling, which is, after all, a New York, not a Boston habit. At no point was there an unfavorable demonstration of any kind.

Whether any such was merited from a patriotic point of view is not my privilege to judge. Miss Flagstad has been declared without taint of disloyalty by her own government, the Norwegian, notoriously the most severe in Europe toward collaborators. And I have no information which would cause me to question the justice of that decision. So far as I am entitled to opine, this artist has been absent for six years on private Reprinted from New York Herald Kirsten Flagstad is Memorial Auditorium the eldest daughter, Sabina. "and now we do not know where our next meal is coming from." "I dig potatoes to earn money," chimed in the younger daughter, Maria Louisa, tall, blond, angry, "and we all go out into the forest to cut firewood." Asked whether they desired to return to their estate and live as in the past, all said no that their own plight didn't matter.

It was only that the land reform was bad and peasants could not live on their allowed acreage. "We only want a reasonable piece of land for ourselves," said Princess Sabina. "Not more than 100 hectares (250 acres)," added her mother. One hundred hectares is the largest farm permitted under the land-reform law. "We were always good to, our peasants," continued Princess Maria.

"Every Christmas they came to the palace to call and could ask for anything they wanted. If it was reasonable we gave it We leased out much of the land to farmers for very small rent. Now we have nothing. These new farmers do not know how to farm. They were surprised to learn that calves drink milk." "We had only 120 servants for ourselves, including gardeners," reminesced Princess Viktoria, "and now we have to do all our own work." "Could you work 100 hectares?" suddenly inquired a Soviet captain, speaking for the first time.

By DELBERT CLARK Special ta Tha New Terk Time and The Courler-JenrnmL Putbus, Ruejenisland, April 11 (delayed). Maria, Princess zu Put bus, sat in a Email, crowded room in this feudal village and bitterly contrasted her present condition with the glories of the past. Surrounded by her three blond daughters, the Princess poured out to an audience of 10 American correspondents and three Soviet Army officers her resentment at the land reform which had deprived her of ownership of a huge estate and had reduced her to living in a single room. The Soviet officers who had suggested the visit listened in polite silence while she and her'daughters violently criticized the entire program in general and the Soviet Military Administration in particular. Princess Maria is 53.

Years ago she married Prince Malthe zu Putbus and became mistress of a 70-room palace dominating vast acreage on this island hi the Baltic Sea. Three Live In One Small Room. Now she and two of her five daughters live In one small room of a modest house in a town founded by her' husband's grandfather. Here they angrily compete with Countess von Schulenberg and a refugee family for use of a small stove in the kitchen, forage for their own firewood, and dig potatoes for money to buy food. They are classic East German Junker types, losers in the land reform instituted by the Soviet Military Administration.

"My husband's family once owned all this island," said Princess Maria, tall, spare as a "and now we haven't a thing. It ie all the doing of the Communists. We are victims of fascism and should have been treated as such, but they took all our land and drove us out." The claim to be victims, of fascism, disallowed by the County Administration, is based on the fact the late Prince zu Putbus fell cut-with Hitler, became involved in the famous July 20, 1944, plot, and died in a concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. "We used to serve dinner to as many as 400 people," snapped 'That Precious Prince He "Not by ourselves of course," NST1TUTE would need one man "Our brother, for example put in Princess Viktoria. "But he is in the University in Bavaria we couldn't bring him back," corrected Princess Sabina.

Outside was the town Mayor who, when asked why the Princess and her daughters were denied a parcel of land, snorted: "We offered her 20 acres and she refused, saying it was too large for them' to farm. As for that precious Prince, he was a bad actor. The Soviet Military Administration a few days ago offered her a choice of portraits of him taken from the Palace and she said she did not want any he had beaten her every night and she wanted no picture of him around."
