A motion to send the bill back to committee lost on a roll call vote of-254 to 130. Also defeated was an amendment by Representative Becker N.Y.) which proposed that (Rep.

New York state be given the right to build the estimated $400,000,000 project. The amendment was rejected, 136 to 17, by a standing vote. The measure, if approved by the Senate and signed by President Eisenhower, will give the five big utilities authority to apply to the commission for a licence to construct the new power facilities. The development, engineers estimate, will ritually triple the generating capacity at the present Falls. The bill to give the private utilitles authority to construct the new facilities was opposed by New York Governor Thomas E.

Dewey. Dewey would like his state's power authority to do the work. Development of the new power facilities is made possible under a 1950 U.S.-Canadian treaty permitting increased diversions of Niagara river water. Packsack a When people move to new homes, they generally take it for granted that it is the post office's responsibility to look after forwarding their mail. The post oflice does undertake to forward mail to the new address for a limited period, despite the fact that the re-addressing of the mail has to be done by a very busy individual postman with a hard and fast routine facing him every day, as well as a long walk and usually a heavy load.

When that period is up, the new occupant of the former home is expected to go to the trouble of re-addressing the mail. But it is unquestionably the duty and responsibility of the citizen who moves to a new address to notify the change of address as widely AS possible. The cheapest and easiest way to do this is to have a sufficiency of envelope-sized cards printed, carrying the change of address, to be mailed out to as many friends and businesses as can be recalled, and thereafter to be sent to all those from whom readdressed mails comes. A hundred such cards can be got for under $5, a small price to pay for the convenience of your postman and the new occupant of the former address. After a while, nothing still dribbles in but circulars sent by people who buy those readymade lists of names and addresses.

And it is a simple matter to arrange to have these dropped in the waste basket by the new occupant; for they will come for years. Some of these commercial mailing lists are outdated many years. The re-addressing of summer mail is another headache to the postman. Each man has to attend to the re-addressing on his own walk, and in some neighborhoods where a large number of the residents are away all summer, this involves a great deal of clerical work each morning. For around one dollar, the resident can buy a rubber stamp, together with ink pad, bearing the inscription "forward to.

and then the summner address. The postman given this stamp at the beginning of the reason ties a name tag on it and keeps it at his pigeon hole at the post office; and in a matter of seconds instead of minutes has the mail re-addressed. It is the sort of small convenience that means not only less extraneous work for the postman, but far more efficient delivery of the mail, Some postmen don't write very legibly, UNCONQUERED PEAK KARACHI (CP) -The National Mountaineering Club of Pakistan, encouraged by the conquest Everest, will attempt to reach the peak of Trichmir in 1955.

inary to the proposed St. Lawrence seaway. A wholly reliable source told a reporter that the commission acted Thursday on the application which has been before the EPC since 1948. Under the proposal, New York's authority would join with power the Ontario Hydro Power Commission in constructing the project. If a pending court action seeks to halt the commission's action is unsuccessful, construction of the project would get started promptly, Completion of the power project would give Canada an opportunity to build the -proposed St.

Lawrence seaway by itself on its own side of the river if the U.S. persists in refusal to participate in the 27-foot-deep waterway. At Ottawa, Minister Chevrier was unavailable for comment. However, Mr. Chevrier said in an election campaign speech at Morrisburg, Tuesday that the New York State Power Authority will be licensed in about 10 days to co-operate on the power phase of the seaway and power project.

B.C. Growers Seek Share UK Market LONDON (Reuters) Fruit growers of the British Commonwealth feel they are being unfairly shut out of the British fruit market. They want to get back in again. At the Empire fruit producers conference held here June 9-19, delegates unanimously demanded that British and Commonwealth governments end policies which amount to subsidizing of fruit exports by foreign countries. The majority also resolved that, in view of the heavy increase in Commonwealth fruit production, an import tariff system similar to that in effect before the war should be levied in the United Kingdom on foreign fruit.

Britain's fruit consumption has increased since the 1930s. production has increased, imports have dropped. Currency exchange difficulties, particularly dollar shortages, have been mainly responsible. A. K.

DIAL 2-2888 Brewers and Utilities Unions May Abandon CIO for AFL By ROBERT BEDOLIS (New York Herald Tribune News Service) NEW YORK Two unions with a total membership of more than 150,000 are reported to be in secret negotiations for the purpose of quitting the CIO and joining the AFL. One was the International Union of Brewery Workers, whose executive board met recently in Cincinnati with Dave Beck, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, AFL, to confer on ing part of the Teamsters' Brewery Division, it was reported.

The IBT has more than 1,000,000 members. The other was the Utility Workers Union of America, with 500, whose officers were in contact in Washington with officials of the AFL's International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which 1 has 500.000 members. If the negotiations are successful, the desertions would mark the first crack in the 35-union, CIO whose ultimate disolution has been repeatedly predicted and denied since Walter P. Reuther rucceedled the late Philip Murray as CIO president last December. Reports of the Brewery and Utility Workers' meetings caused concern among top CIO officials, although Mr.

Reuther said in Milwaukee that he understood that the Brewery-Teamsters meeting was to work out a no-raiding party. Another CIO affiliate, the United Packinghouse Works, with 130,000 members, has made no secret of its discussions with the AFL's Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, with about the meat membership. Union sources admitted that even it unsuccessful, back-door meetings to entice CIO unions into the AFL could cause distrust, jeopardizing the new A no-raiding agreement and the hope of the two to amalgamate from the top down. There was no comment from ficials of the Brewery Workers, Utility, Teamsters or Electrical Workers Unions. Officials of the Packinghouse Workers said meetings have been conducted with the AFL's Meatcutters with a view to amalgamation.

But the Meatcutters said that knotty problems, particularly, concerning the integration of the two unions' constitutions, have slowed down the talks. The two unions are now working on possibility of conducting joint contract negotiations with the meat-packing industry. It is known that the Utility Workers Union has not been satisfied for some time with its CIO affiliation. The Brewery Workers, whose top officers might find it difficult to convince some of their local union leaders to switch to the AFL have had internal difficulties for years. IT OR NOT!
