28 (Sat urday) UP) Frequent and bigger raids on the Red China mainland may be expected in the future, Nationalist China's foreign minister said yesterday. But he said his country was unable to enforce a blockade and he didn't think the Unit-ad Nations could, either, "without the cooperation of the British." In an interview, Foreign Minister George Yen said any move at a blockade ran into the problem of Britain's recognition of Red China and that he had no reason to believe such recognition might be withdrawn soon. "The British, as their history shows, never rectify their mistakes very quickly," Yeh added. Deaths BOEHMER REV. E.

Opposite National Funeral Home i FLOWERS I05 McCALLIE AVENUE. PHONE -25S FILO WEIRS Nights G-7725 UHIOHS SEEK RAISE III KNOXVILLE AREA Increase of 5.3 Ppr Cent Goal of 25,000. Workers in Construction Field KNOXVILLE, Feb. 27 UP) A spokesman for 25,000 AFL construction workers in 15 East Tennessee counties said today the unions would seek a 5.3 per cent wage boost in new contract negotiations with Knoxville area Associated General Contractors. A.

E. Galyon, business agent for the AFL Knoxville Building Trades Council, said the bargaining talks yr 1 begin next Wednesday. The council's contract with AGC expires April 30. "We feel our people working for AGC should have the same rate of increase as was, given the TV A workers," Galyon declared. He referred to a contract signed recently by Tennessee Valley Authority with the AFL Tennessee Valley Trades and Labor Council granting a 5.3 per cent hourly wage boost to approximately 000 construction workers on TVA projects.

The Knoxville council is bar gaining agent for the following crafts: Brick masons, carpenters, iron workers, laborers, cement finishers, engineers and teamsters Its bargaining area extends from Athens eastward to Rogers- ville and Pressmen Home. The hourly scale under the present contract ranges from $1.27 for laborers to $2.90 for brick masons. The Knoxville AGC chapter has protested the new TVA wage scales on grounds they exceed the prevailing rates many sections of the valley area. TVA maintains its wage structures are based on prevailing levels for the general area, affected, rather than being fixed as to individual sites. SENATE APPROVES TRUCK WEIGHT BILL From Page pne Robert W.

Acklen, both of "Memphis, were among those to oppose the bill. "I don't get all this," Mrs. Hughes said. "It seems to me that somehow or other the road must bear this whole weight.

Limit on length was net changed in this bill. Senate Speaker Jared Maddux of Cookeville finally invoked a rule limiting each speaker to 20 minutes. Shortly after that Sen. H. Frank Taylor of Nashville moved to cut off debate arid did so with one vote over the required two-thirds a i y.

HILL FAMILY FINDS NEIGHBORLY SPIRIT Couple Who Had Never Seen Movie Given Helping Hand When Luck Runs Short A North Carolina mountain couple, who said they'd never seen a movie and had used a telephone but once, learned yesterday that old-fashioned neighborliness may be found also in a city. Without funds, homeless and in a strange city which s-aemed to offer little hope, they were found by Patrolmen L- G.

Wade and Barney Morgan Thursday night at 23rd and Watkins streets. The man, Grady Carpenter, 28, told in his slow mountain drawl how he and his wife and two children, Peggy, 3 months, and Patsy, 14 months, rode on a truck from Murphy, N. to Chattanooga in search of dairy work suggested by an aunt. On arrival here, they were unable to find the She had moved and th-a Carpenters could not learn here new address. With the coming of night, Carpenter was faced with the problem of finding shelter for thw family.

A imeal given th-am in the neighborhood temporarily solved the food problem. Job Provided The two officers took the couple and their children to Tennessee Food Fair market at 23rd Street arid Rossville Boulevard, where a job was provided the father by Herbert C. Kirk, store official. Kirk also donated the rent-free use of a vacant, unfurnish-ed apartment on Bell Avenue in North Chattanooga. "Jhe patrolmen got additional help from A.

B. Seay, manager of the Grand Hotel. He put up the family in a hotel room, telling the officers they could remain there until the apartment was available. Carpenter went to work as a sort of handyman at the store yesterday, while the officers arranged for electric power service and water in the apartment. They scraped up a few furnishings but need a full-sized bed and a baby bed.

Also desirable are clothing, blankets, bedding: and dishes. Gifts of food ara acceptable. Made $2a Day In talking with the couple, the officers learned that Carpenter left a job cutting wood in the mountains near MUrphy. He was paid $2 per day. Carpenter told the officers he and his wife and children "lived with my people and her people.

They fed us, clothed us and allowed us 50 cents a week." The father said h-a and his wife wanted to "get out to raise our children so they'll have a better chance in life." He impressed the officers with his sincerity. The chance appeared at hand when an aunt wrote the Carpenters that a job on a dairy farm here was available. They got a rid-a on a truck, but their dream of a better existence faded quickly when they failed to locate the dairy or the aunt. "He said he wanted work of any kind," Patrolman Wade said. "He even offered to work for milk for the little girls." "She told us she tried to get him to take her to a movie before they were married, but he wouldn't do it.

They said th-ay'd used a telephone once." WATER-SEWAGE SURVEY BEGUN IN M'MINNVILLE By Times Correspondent. M'MINNVILLE, Feb. 27 Representatives of the J.

DOWNTURN TAKEN BY LIVING COSTS From Page One the average for the 1947-49 period, which is used as the index base. It was 0.7 per cent above a year ago and 11.9 per cent over the level of June, 1950, when the Korean war began, but 0.3 per cent under last November's peak. The new figures indicated a 1-cent hourly wage decline for a million workers in the auto industry, according to union contracts with the CIO auto workers pegging pay rates to the Government; index.

1 However, the contract "escalators" are geared to a different set of figures which won't become available until about April 1. General Motors Corporation announced that because of- Government delay in publishing this "old series" index for mid-January no pay adjustment will be made for the time being. This raised the question of -1 whether the auto firms, when the "old series" does became available a month hence, will try to recap ture the indicated wage cutback to day.

Sen.

Wiley, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Senate the whole non-Communist world has been shocked by the recent campaign conducted by Russia and its statellites. Wiley denounced "the phony trials in Czechoslovakia, the charges against Jewish doctors in Moscow, and other events culminating in severance of diplomatic relations with Israel. The resolution puts the Senate On record as condemning "the vi cious and inhuman" persecutions carried out by the Soviets and their puppets in Europe and Asia. Specifically, it denounces the persecution of Greek Orthodox congregations, the imprisonment of Roman Catholic prelates, the harassment of Protestants, the suppression of Moslem communi ties, the persecution and scattering of ethnic groups in Poland, the Ukraine, the Baltic and the Bal kans, and the increasing persecu tion of Jews. The State Department took a hand in broadening the resolution to cover other groups than the Jews, acting in the belief that if the Senate aimed it only at Jewish persecutions the Russians would seize on it for propaganda in Arab nations.

Urging unanimous approval, Wiley told the Senate: "I think it could be fairly said that the campaigns against some of these groups amount to geno cide. Whole peoples have been de ported in mass, and in some areas have been the targets of systematic campaigns of extermination. "By passing this resolution, we can let the oppressed people of Russia and the satellites know that we have not forgotten them in their agony."
