The administration bill would permit the President to set a deadline for resumption of work in a government-seized industry.

After that company and union officials would be subject to fine and imprisonment for refusing to cooperate in resuming operations, and individuals failing to work would be subject to the draft and lose all seniority rights. It would let the President fix the wages and working conditions during the period of'government operation. Net profits after payment of "just compensation" to plant owners would go into the federal treasury. Some of the staunchest administration supporters in the Senate privately expressed hope that the emergency powers never would be written into law. They hoped that early settlement of the soft coal shutdown and cancellation of the maritime strike scheduled for June fifteenth would render emergency authority unnecessary.

Participating in the famine control program wich began here yesterday with a one-day diet to that faced by starving Europeans, club members were served a bowl of vegetable soup and a slice of bread. The financial saving realiz- I ed from this meal was voted as a contribution to the famine control I program. Mr. Conner, recently discharged after four years of Army service aith the Judge Advocate General's Department, noted that American patriotism was a "disputable commodity which rises and falls as the will of the people direct. "When we are sn trouble," the speaker remarked, "we have a vast amount of patriotism.

But when well advantages devote to a little common patriotism." He ursed that the country prepare for any eventuality and advocated a strong military and naval force "to assure that we will keep the rightful place we now hold in this world." Miss Meola called attention to the fact that the present famine was the greatest the world had ever known. She declared that the warped minds and bodies of starving European children would breed a third world war unless the cure were found at once and asked that all Americans support the famine relief program to the best of their abilitv. City to Remain Open During Noon Hours City offices will be open during the noon hour from now until the last week or September, City Clerk P. E. Benedict announced today The step has been he said, to allow more business hours compensating for Saturday closing or dry offices which will begin this week.

The city offices will not reopen on Saturdays until October except for four days this Slimmer when the city clerk's office will be open for tax collection. That office will be open on July thirteenth, twentieth and twenty-seventh and August third. Elmira Flood-- (Continued from Page One) and workers were moving stocks to upper floor wherever oossible. Plant Is Closed The Remington Rand Company's local plant, employing 6.000 persons, ceased operations and sent its workers home for the day when the tossing waters of Seeley Creek threatened to invade that sector of the city. The newspaper offices of both the Star Gazette and the Advertiser, only daily newspapers, were closed.

While Fire Department rescue crews pressed boats into service wherever necessary, hundreds of residents trudged barefooted and with trousers or skirts at high level through the inundated sections.

When announcement of the agreement was made yesterday by Curran It was believed that a pattern might have been established to settle demands by all seven unions of the Maritime Unity Committee which has planned the walkout which will Ue up shipping in both East and West coast ports. However, the action of the NMU members has placed the negotiations back to the same point at which they started months ago. Secretary of Labor Lewis B.

Schwellenbach has scheduled negotiations to begin in Washington tomorrow between representatives of all seven unions and the steamship operators. The NMU membership In a telegram to Frank J. Taylor, president of the American Merchant Marine Institute who represented the operators in the discussions, announced rejection of the wage offer and said, "this places the responsibility for solving the situation hi the maritime Industry squarely upon the operators on a national basis."

The committee urged bakers to make the cut voluntarily. At that time, many bakers pro: tested they could not make the re- I duction because of state laws regulating the weight of bread. Since then, these regulations have been waived in all but eight states and the District of Columbia. The eight states are Arizona. Arkansas, Montana, Nevada.

Oregon, Texas. Washington and Wyoming. In these instances, however, it was believed the federal order would supersede state law. Bakers now can obtain only seventy-five percent of Uie amount of flour they got during a base period of 1344. On July first, however, this will be boosted to eighty-five percent.

(Cor.tinueA from Page One) eminent indicated a willingness to endorse a $25,000.000 annual Industry contribution to a welfare fund. The money would be raised by a five-cent assessment on each ton of coal mined. Although a tonnage "royalty" has been bitterly opposed by industry spokesmen, some operators were said to have expressed the belief it was the only effective way distribute the Csst of the welfare fund. Lewis asked a ten-cent royalty last year, but proposed a seven percent payroll assessment which would raise about $70,000.000 annually in the negotiations this year. Even with a government contract, Lewis still would need to win industry acceptance.

He presumably would offer the -same contract to the operators and wait for them to accept singly or in groups. Because of the threat of strikes, the government would retain control of the mines until agreements were signed by the owners. On the wage issue, the government would be limited fay its wage- price policy which has allowed pay raises up to cents an hour in basic Industries. Lewis' specific wage proposals never have been disclosed. Avit $8.00 HAYES JONES 65 North Street Trieste AND the final book by ERMIE PYLE last (Continued from Page One) the powers.

Discussion of the Hare zoning change petition began immediately after Raymond K. Swalm. Common Council clerk, had read the recommendation of the City Planning Commission and the Common Council's Planning Committee, that the petition be denied.

Points to Error Mr. Hare pointed out what he said was an error in the written recommendation as read by Mr Swalm.

He isn't you to give him anything or to do anything more for you've done for others. He wants to go into busin te is tasking you for the chance to do so." The attorney pointed out that within recent months the Council granted a zoning change on Wickham avenue that permitted the Vce Motor Sales Company to construct a garage at the Wickham avenue- Wisner avenue intersection. "But that's a business property and it has no bearing on your petition." Mr. Bates expostulated. To this Mr.

Deisseroth replied that his client's property also was located In a business area with no less than four retail establishments in the next block. He added that "not too long ago the entire block west of Mr. Hare's property was from a residential to a Alderman Herman Schuerholz in- posed the observation that the petition was the first to be rejected the Planning Commission "in a long while" and declared that -while I believe the objection: to the change are not all set forth here. I would suggest that Mr. Deisseroth and Mr.

Hare confer with the mining Cocsxnisslon." Mr. Schuerholz declared that he "would not over tbe head of the commission and rote for this change." Third Fresentat -i Mr. Deisseroth replied that he would welcome an opportunity to discuss the matter with the commission but Insisted that the Council should act en it immediately. "We've been waiting a long time." he declared. The observation re- 'erred.

apparently, to t' fact that petitions both for anil against the iiangc. had been presented to the Council twice previously. Alderman T. Vincent Foeller entered the discussion to declare that 'Not all of the objections to this change have been listed here, but all members of the council have received opposing letters." He pointed out that the petition did not state the nature of the business in which Mr. Hare proposed to engage.

"We're living in a democracy." Deisseroth rejoined, "and since he majority of the property owners in that area have asked that this change be made I think you should make It." The attorney indicated, as the discussion ended. hat he would seek an opportunity to appear before the Planning Commission to discuss the petition. The resolution relating to the sale of the OW paint shop was adopted without discussion, but later Alderman Horn said that Its purpose was to guarantee that the city would receive from the purchase rice the amount of back taxes due on that piece of property. "If we let the railroac sell its property without placing tax liens against it. -well wind up without collecting anything." Mr.

Korn asserted. Mr. Bates assured John Doule, King street taxi operator, that recent parking and traffic changes by the Council still were under study. Mr. Doule had complained that the new regulations created a "bottleneck" on King street.

The Council approved a resolution appropriating funds to pay the expenses of aldermen and department heads attending the annual meeting of the State Conference of Mayors at Rochester on June third, fourth and fifth. Voting machines now are used throughout New York State and most Connecticut cities with popu- ations of more than 10,000.
