The workers are seeking temporary wage increases and a general reclassification of jobs with subsequent permanent salary adjustments.

The government has promised increases but not before January. Strikes- Bridges' West Coast International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Association and the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association, both -have contracts expiring Sept. 30 and have threatened walkouts with the seven-union CMU backing. The engineers are asking CIO per cent wage increase. The said Bridges has not announced his new wage demand.

236,000 Idle Continued From First Page according to a company official, when the company refused to compel nine warehouse employes to join the union or replace them with union men. He said seven of the nine voted against joining union in an NLRB election last week, At Cleveland, federal conciliator Harry Gray announced today that a threatened strike of the American Flint Glass Workers Union (AFL), set for tomorrow, probably had been averted. He said negotiations between the National Association of Manufacturers of Pressed Blown Glassware, in progress since Monday, had resulted in settlement covering about 80 per cent of the 90,000 employes involved the nationwide controversy. The developments appeared as more than 236,000 workers were estimated idle tonight in four big industries- shipping, meat, automobiles and farm machinery-as a result of strikes and layoffs. The NMU strike accounted for 90,000 idle.

In addition, 15,000 members of the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards and another 15,000 members of the independent Marine Firemen and Oilers were idle in what the unions claimed were "lockouts." In the auto industry, more than 45,000 were idle in four Chrysler plants, five Briggs Manufacturing Company units and the final assembly section of Packard. Except for 7,300 Chrysler employers out of work because of shortages, the layoffs were attributed to a strike of 1,200 United Auto workers in a key Briggs plant. An estimated 4,000 workers returned to the Dodge truck plant of Chrysler Corp. after a one-week strike over discharge of a proAFL and union spokesmen at bationary employe, was settled. Chicago estimated 40,000 to 50,000 of their members were idle in the meat industry and "more and more are being laid off every day." A total 31,700 was idle in the farm machinery industry because of prolonged strikes against the Allis-Chalmers and J.

I. Case companies. Allis-Chalmers had 25,700 idle and Case 6,000. In New York, a bloc of 55 major interstate and local trucking firms today filed suit for damages of $10,000,000 against Local 807, International Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFL) on a charge that the union is conducting an unlawful strike in violation of the Smith-Connally act. Harris J.

Klein, counsel for the plaintiffs, said the 55 firms which taken the case to federal court will be joined by 450 other carriers and the damages asked will be increased correspondingly. The suit was filed as striking AFL teamsters unions reported approximately 40 percent of trucking agreements for a new wage formula. An abortive, attempt by a group of New 12,000 striking truck drivers to return to work was balked today by a strengthened picket line which was described by President Daniel Tobin of the International Teamsters and Chauffeurs Union as "unauthorized." Tobin said a strike of 2,000 employes of the United Parcel Service -500 of them in New Jersey "in defiance of the orders of the international union" and he ordered them back to work. He instructed other truck drivers to "ignore socalled picket lines."

House Unit Backs Byrnes, Cites Soviet Acts in Far East WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (P) Soviet policy was pledged today six-weeks Far Eastern inspection six- The attitude of the group, a committee, was expressed military, (R-Mo) as the committee on its trip.

"We must support the position of Mr. Byrnes in his dealings with Sikes told a reporter. "There is no doubt in my mind that committee, in its formal report, will stress the necessity of a strong Soviet policy in view what we have seen in the Far East." must be firm but fair; we must start getting tough," Short said. "We cannot reduce our defenses any further and we must strengthen them in the Pacific as a precaution against Russian aggression." Meet Eisenhower Sikes and Short talked with newsmen after the sub-committee met with Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower, Army chief of staff. Much of the discussion, they said, centered around Russian activities in the Far East. Earlier. Sikes, Short and other committee members had accused Russia of seeking to dominate China attempting undermine United States influence throughout the Far East. All the committee members urged that United States military bases in Alaska be strengthened and that island bases used during the war in the Pacific be bolstered and retained.

John E. Sheridan (D-Pa), chairman of the group, said the committee's formal report will stress the necessity of maintaining strong defenses in the Pacific. He emphasized that the committee's position is not one of belligerency toward Russia but added that "from what we have seen, we cannot afford to take chances." "The seeds of World War Three already have been sown," Sikes commented. "I don't expect war but we can't take any chances." "We are not a militaristic nation," Short said, "but we must be prepared to protect ourselves if necessarz." Others who made the trip besides Sheridan, Sikes and Short were Reps. Thomas Martin (R-Iowa), Leroy' Johnson (R-Calif) and Melvin Price (D-Ill), who went only part of the way.

The full journey took in Alaska, Honolulu, Kwajalein, Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, Japan, China, Korea, Siam, Okinawa, the Philippines, and Australia. Truman- Continued From First Page country with respect to our proposal for the international control of atomic energy as outlined by me at the commission's first meeting on June 14." The American plan for atomic energy control is a subject of Wallace's criticism. The Baruch proposal calling for disposal of existing atom bombs and a cessation of their manufacture after international control could be established and a rival Russian plan for destruction of the weapons before controls could be have been before the UN atomic energy commission for more than three American spokesman on atomic controls at the United Nations, may have obtained the Presidential authorization in a personal conference with Mr. Truman yesterday. A similar stand on other points of American international dealings appeared to be what those in Paris desired.

No Details Given The White House released only the bare fact that the President and his secretary of state in Paris held a 20-minute conference by teletype, their first direct exchange since the Wallace criticism of the Byrnes foreign policy flared up last Thursday. Presidential Secretary Ross refrained from saying whether the conversation was cordial or strained, whether the Chief Executive gave Byrnes fresh assurance of support or not- fact whether the inconclusive "truce" reached yesterday with Wallace was even discussed. But persons close to the American delegation in Paris expressed the opinion that the Wallace affair was discussed and the atmosphere of. extreme concern there appeared undiminished. Byrnes was represented as "far more concerned" with ist certainty over and American confusion policy held than to with personalities or politics at home."

PHONE 4-5381 -Support for Secretary of State Byrnes' by touring lawmakers back tour. five-man sub-committee of the House by Representatives Sikes (D-Fla) started preparing a formal report illustrating the problem, said today that one of his colleagues in another delegation declared openly, "we can't count on the United States. There is no means of telling which direction will take." Wallace 'Deal' Denied Although Ross declined to give details on the Truman-Byrnes conversation, he did tell newsmen, however, that "there was no deal or anything resembling a deal" between Mr. Truman and the Secretary of Commerce leading to Wallace's "conclusion" to make no more statements or speeches until after the Paris peace conference. The question was asked in view of a report that Wallace won "an implied promise by President Truman to do what he could, through Secretary of State Byrnes, to promote certain of the Wallace-sought foreign policy shifts." Ross said he could deny it "from first-hand knowledge." Two other points in the unusual situation also were clarified: 1.

Mr. Truman is not abandoning the give-and-take of news conferences, as some reports suggested he might following the "misunderstanding" which arose from his comment on Wallace's speech last week. He scheduled one for tomorrow morning. 2. The "gag" on Wallace does not extend to official press releases from his department.

Reds Want Credit One of these, issued today, reported that two Commerce Department representatives who visited Moscow found that "Russia would be in the market for purchases of American goods on a large scale if appropriate credit arrangements would be made." A loan to Russia was one of Wallace's specific recommendations in his July 23 letter which became public Tuesday. And he urged that it be negotiated without requiring the Soviets to discuss various other matters at the same time, contrary to what the State Department proposes. The department release also quoted the representatives, Lewis Lorwin and E. C. Ropes, as reporting that the Soviets favor holding trade and industrial conferences with Amer- icans.

This was another recommendation in Walace's letter. Aides of Wallace represented him as displeased that the letter became public the way it did, but as feeling that a very full presentation his views had been presented by it. They noted that any additional speeches could hardly do more than amplify and emphasize these veiws. Wallace has said that he considers foreign policy the No. 1 problem.

Noting this, one called the "inference clear" Walsource, lace could not speak on that matter he would not talk on other issues which might figure in the congressional campaigns. Speaking Program Revised Wallace's pledge of silence caused Democratic officials to revise a tentative speaking itinerary which had been laid out for him. It also brought a statement from the National Committee to Win the Peace, headed by Evans F. Carlson and Paul Robeson, announcing a campaign "to force President Truman" to let Wallace speak. Robert E.

Hannegan, Democratic national chairman, when asked about reports that he had insisted that Wallace be retained in the Cabinet, told a reporter: "The President makes up his own mind as to who stays in the Cabinet." To another question, whether he believed the Wallace affair would work out all right for the Democratic Party in the end, Hannegan replied: "I do." He added he did not believe it would alienate any "liberal" votes. At the Capitol, Senator Hart (R-Conn) told reporters, "I don't think what the President has done thus far will be sufficiently effective in disallowing the words and actions of one of his Cabinet officers" (Wallace), Asked what he thought the situation required, Hart replied: "A retraction or a replacement." The Connecticut senator went on to say that in the tempest over Wallace little attention had been paid to the fact that Senator Pepper (D-Fla) spoke last week from the came New York platform with Wallace. Pepper went farther than Wallace in criticizing present policy toward Russia, Hart added. "Pepper is a leading senator, prominent senator, the best freewheeling speaker the Senate," Hart continued. "The Senate advises the President on policy and here is one of his own party expressing views the very opposite of those of the State Department.

"In view of the unity that has marked all of the Senate's actions and words on foreign policy I think it is most unfortunate that one, even one, should be expressing those views." Mrs. Elizabeth Brite, secretary to the Washington office of the American Association for the United Nations, said today that her organization had withdrawn sponsorship of a meeting here Monday night which Wallace had planned to address on the subject of "World Trade and the Peace." SOLDIER SURRENDERS AFTER JUMP INTO RIVER Harry H. Riley, 20, of the 300 block South Claymont Street, who is alleged to be AWOL from the Army, surrendered at the Army recruiting station in the postoffice building yesterday less than 24 hours after he had jumped into the Christina River from South Market Street Bridge. Riley was accompanied by his father, Harry H. Riley, who said he wished to apologize for the conduct of his son.

He told the recruiting officers he wanted his boy restored to the good graces of the Army. The youth made his bridge jump after fleeing from a taxicab in which his father was taking him home. Army officers remanded Riley to the custody of his father until arrangements could be made to have him returned to a military installation. Riley enlisted Dec. 12, 1945.
