Spokesmen for both the company and the union said there was no prospect xor iuriner meeuu mm m'" I -v MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1954 She's city clerk of South -f "at least until Some flights were made Satur day under an arrangement permitting crewmen to return to their home cities.

C. N. Sayen, president of the union, called the strike in an effort to force American and two other airlines with non-stop transcontinental flights to work their pilots no more than eight hours continuous flight time. New York to Los Angeles flight are scheduled for eight hours and 35 minutes, but, says Sayen, sometimes run more than nine hours in actual flying time. East-bound flights fall within the eight-hour limit, he added.

The westbound trips take longer because, speed of planes is reduced by the prevailing westerly headwinds. The pilots' union struck at 11:59 p.m. local standard time Friday. American, the nation's largest domestic air carrier, normally has 970 daily flights on its 12,000 miles of routes. It employs 1,200 pilots.

Other American employes were not included in the strike action. Reservation clerks in the 91 affected cities have helped arrange passage on other airlines or on railroads for persons having American reservations. Other airlines have added flights to accommodate the additional numbers. Six domestic airlines added 75 flights from LaGuardia airport in New York and 18 from New York's Idlewild airport to accommodate what they could of the load which would normally have been carried Sunday by 211 canceled American flights. One American DC7 arrived from Los Angeles, manned by a crew returning home.

American facilities were used by other airlines. PAGE ONE P7ofs To Strike Against TWA, United Airlines CHICAGO, Anpr. 1, The-AKL Air I.fne Pilots association already on strike against American Airlines, the nation's largest air carrier said tonight its members also have voted to strike against Trans World Airlines and United Air Lines. But a union spokesman said no strike date has been set and no strike action is contemplated in the near future against the two air lines. He said United and TWA pilots voted three weeks ago to walk out when and if anion officers rail a strike.

The union's dispute with TWA and United is over scheduling nonstop transcontinental flights of more than eight hours the same dispute which has grounded American Airlines planes. The spokesman said the union takes about 50 strike votes a year and usually does not announce results "unless we actually intend to take strike action." He indicated the union takes the position that TWA and United accept whatever settlement is made with American Airlines so that strike action against the other two carriers probably will not be necessary. Passenger delays up to six hours were experienced by air travelers. The airline said none of its non-striking employes have been laid off. The storm cut a swath about 70 miles long and 15 miles The top rainfall of 3.45 inches was reported at Sabetha, Kan.

Neighboring Missouri also got rain, including 1.23 Inches at Kansas City, 1.47 at Columbia, and .92 at St. Louis. Italians Near Top Of Godwin Austen KARACHI, Pakistan, Aug. 1.

It's a measure-meter for checking the length of skid marks after a collision. Just push it along and the register starts clicking off the inches and feet. It will measure up feet.

Wl VOL 113 NO. 214 Smith Says Reds Would 'Lull' West Infiltration Seen As Commie Weapon vashixgto: Aug. i Undersecretary of State Walter Eedell Smith warned tonight that Russia and Red China "would like to lull the world into a false sense of security" behind which they can seek conquest through "subversion, infiltration and propaganda." Smith, former U. S.

ambassador to Moscow and recent chief of the U. S. delegation at the Geneva conference, said however that he had not seen any signs that the Red nations are ready to "settle down as peaceful members of society." What the Reds are trying flo, he said, is weaken the solidarity of the Allies and particularly to "isolate" the United States. "Their sliift to a new soft line," he said, "is an admission, I think, that the openly bullying tactics of the past have not quite paid the dividends that they expected." Smith made these major points: 1. The "small, almost defenseless states" left in Indochina as a result of the Geneva peace settlement "must in some way be guaranteed." Smith obviously had in mind covering these states with a southeastern Asian anti-Communist alliance.

2. The guarantees should be against Red aggression whether it should take the form of open military attack as in Korea or of undercover, indirect subversion. 3. Organization of a southeast Asian alliance is a matter of urgency and the coalition should embrace as many nations with interests in that area "as are willing to take part." 4. The attack by Communist fighter planes on British and American aircraft in the South China Sea a week ago is typical "of the belligerent attitude of the Chinese Communists (and) their disregard for international humanitarian More trouble is to be expected.

5. United States policy in this situation is not to be intimidated yet to avoid acting in a "trigger-happy manner." 6. The United States objects to turning over to Red China "the tools to make or build an industrial base for further adventures in aggression Smith said he thought subversion offered a greater threat in southeast Asia than another Korea-type open attack. But he said the way to meet both threats is the same with collective action which would enhance the total of what each nation would be willing and able to do by itself. It Is necessary to "draw the line somewhere otherwise we will be eroded, bit by bit," he added.

Smith said Communist China wants trade with the free world, a chance to Industrialize, and acceptance by other nations as well as an opportunity to consolidate its power and influence in Asia. Its policies have not changed from the days when the Chinese were much tougher and less courteous. Smith said. They are simply "exploiting other means of achieving their objective their control in Asia."

I Christmas Greeting Puzzles Tucsonan Destructive Hail Storms Batter Central Kansas Small Community Seeking No Honors BY BILL MOORE Things are rocking along just sort of slow and easy out in South Tucson, and somehow It's refreshing to find a town that isn't making any big claims.

Elizabeth Marteny, the city clerk, was asked for data on current population growth, civic projects, or apything else to indi cate that South Tucson was aim ing at something bigger and better. She regarded the questions with considerable surprise. "What population growth?" she inquired. "What i projects?" Well, of course, we didn't know. We were only figuring, in a tentative sort of way, that surely her town wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to get in a little bragging.

All around the country, you know, you can find towns ready to sound off about how things are booming and if they haven't hit the big leagues yet they soon will. Big towns, medium-sized towns! little towns. About all of them like to proclaim that new residents are coming in so fast that everyone's getting trampled in the rush. But South Tucson seems to be one of the exceptions. Magistrate William I.

for example, didn't pretend that he was handling anything other than routine cases at the moment. Joe Lykins, superintendent of the streets and sanitation department, said he couldn't think of any construction jobs residen tial or otherwise going on at this time. As for street work, Lykins said hmmmmm you'd find some gravel being hauled in and a grader working over a bad spot if you turned right at the next corner and went west about two blocks. Just rocking along but If you compare South Tucson with a few years back, you'll find a lot of change. The growth has been mostly since World War II years.

The official 1950 census was 2.3G4. Since then, the town has reached out and annexed a fair size chunk of territory, and naturally acquired a lot of new residents in the process. Miss Marteny, just as a guess, would place the population count in the vicinity of 7,000. She's speaking of permanent residents. Besides these, there are a lot of persons in South -Tucson who are more or less transient and give some other tow7n or city as their legal address.

The north boundary follows an alley line between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth street. On the east it parallels the Tucson-Nbgales line of the Southern Pacific railroad as far as the Benson highway. Then th boundary turns west to Fourth avenue, goes north on that avenue to Fortieth street, west to Twelfth avenue (or Orphanage road) and north again to the point between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth. There's heavy traffic up and down Sixth avenue, and South Tucson has a police department that's alert to bag speeders and other traffic violators. The town doesn't have a jail for the more serious offenders, but the Pima county jail in Tucson is not far away.

South Tucson has an arrangement with the county in the matter of providing accommodations for prisoners. You'll find Miss Marteny acting as police matron occasionally in taking women prisoners to jail. She's also the police radio dispatcher. And if there's a fire she presses the button which starts the siren howling. Volunteer firemen there are 18 of them come running from all directions.

A big deal in South Tucson of comparative recent vintage was the installation of a sanitary sewer system. A bond issue of was voted for the job. The work was completed last September. The city council meets the second Monday of each month. Mayor John Merrill and Councilmen Francis Randall, Manuel del Moral G.

J. McElroy, and Gilbert Contreras wade through an agenda similar to that of any other town of comparable size. Seldom anything too much out of the ordinary at council meetings, we're informed. We looked around at while. Nobody tried to high-pressure us.

Tucsonan Held In Looting Of Penney Store Jethro Whitlock, 24, already under police wraps in connection with the theft of six assorted fowl, yesterday was charged with a burglary. Det. Lawrence Wilson said a telephoned tip led to the discovery of several hundred dollars worth of clothing, allegedly taken last week In the burglary of the J. C.

Penney store, 130 East Congress street. Police said in that burglary the thief apparently hid inside at closing time and broke out of the store later at night. At Whitlock's apartment, 509 South Rubio avenue, police found five suits, several pairs of shoes, hats, under clothing, sport shirts and other articles of clothing, all contained in a $15 clothing hanger bag taken from Penney's. Police arrested Whitlock and accused him of being with Eddie Williams, Tucson boxer, 128 West Third street, during a chicken and turkey theft in which Williams is charged with petty larceny.

"I thought you were back in Tucson," said the friend. Oliver informed his friend that he intends to come back to Tucson soon, but that he was in Memphis winding up some business affairs.

"Well," replied the friend, "I received a Christmas card from you Thursday. It has a Tucson postmark," The friend told Oliver he thought the card was a joke. "No," said Oliver, and asked to look at the envelope. It bore the Dec. 11.
