They tossed the whole tangled problem to their foreign ministers. These four men were directed to see what accord they could salvage out of the dispute, either in the next few days or in the next few months. EDEN HAD offered the Soviet Union the first Western concession on European security and German reunification as a modification of his specific proposals.

the only ones thus far advanced by the West. He told Bulganin that Britain would consider extending the area and membership of the five-power security pact proposed by Eden as a guarantee to the Soviet Union against aggression if Germany is united immediately, as the West desires.

Eden sent up a smoke signal to General Sir Neville Brownjohn. Both have done a lot of work in recent months to figure ways of beating swords into ploughshares. IT WAS A QUIET INDICATION THAT EDEN, FAURE AND EISENHOWER HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN FOR THE MOMENT IN PATCHING UP EUROPE'S HUMPTY-DUMPTY GERMANY. Agree There's Disagreement on Reich Eisenhower drove to Eden's villa for breakfast Wednesday morning in a driving rain which broke for a while the heat wave which has had the Genevese and their distinguished visitors asking each other if it's hot enough for them. Over coffee Eden opined that ALL THE QUEEN'S HORSES AND ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN WOULD NOT SUFFICE AT THE MOMENT TO PUT EAST AND WEST GERMANY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN and it was time to move on to other matters.

He recalled that Bulganin hadn't yielded an inch on Russia's idea that Germany could only be unified as a disarmed nation inhabited by peaceful farmers and miners. And, of course, Eisenhower, Eden and Faure hadn't given anything on their belief that a unified Germany should be free to tote guns and choose up sides in the wars of the European range.

In the 1940 train robbery, six bandits with sawed-off shotguns and pistols held up a New York Central passenger and freight train near the station at 225th St. and escaped.

They looted a mail car in search of a $100,000 payroll bag. United Labor To Be Called 'AFL and CIO' WASHINGTON (U.R) CIO and AFL officials long-time rivals in the labor field Wednesday night agreed to call their newly united labor organization "The AFL and CIO." CIO sources had said that their organization would back out of the merger agreement unless the AFL agreed to a new name for the united labor organization. CIO PRESIDENT Walter Reuther said after a two-hour meeting between the executive committees of the two unions that it was a "very happy solution." "And I am sure our executive board will approve the new name," he added. AFL President George Meany, who made the announcement to reporters, said he "doesn't see any major problems" now to hold up the merger. The question of a name was the last major item left for discussion.

The formal merger is expected to take place in December. now, but the table cloth is too short. Oh, dear, why do the Russians have to be so broad?" The problem was solved by using three extra leaves and no table cloth. Of the six Russians who usually make up the Soviet dining parties, only Grpmyko is built along slim lines.

Indicts UAW; Vote Activity Hit Dues Illegally Spent, Says Jury BY ARTHUR W. O'SHEA, JR. i Free Press fctaf Writer A Federal Grand Jury indicted the UAW (CIO) Wednesday on charges of violating the Federal elec tion laws in the conduct of its political activities. The UAW immediately termed the indictment the result of political chicanery on the part of Republicans. THE FOUR -COUNT indictment, returned before Judge Arthur A.

Koscinski, accused the auto union of ignoring: the Test of U. S. Law Called Chief Issue. Page 10. Federal Corrupt Practices Act in supporting Democratic candidates in the 1954 primary and general elections.

Conviction carries a $5,000 fine on each count or a possible maximum of $20,000. In Washington, UAW and CIO President Walter P. Reu-ther said the jury probe was instigated by John Feikens, Michigan Republican chairman, and Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield, a power in Michigan Republican circles. "Messrs.

Feikens and Summer-field would better serve the Republican Party and the people of Michigan if they would abandon 'their obsolete and socially irresponsible policies and programs and instead give sympathetic consideration to the basic needs and aspirations of the people," Reuther said. "The UAW deplores the fact that Republican politicians have been able to use the Federal courts in a frantic effort to save face following their sound trouncing at the hands of tht voters of Michigan last fall," said Emil Mazey, the union' secretary-treasurer, in a prepared statement. The indictment charged that the union illegally spent $5,985 Turn to Page 11, Column 1 Snubs Ike, Who Wants 90-Ct. Floor New Rate May Take Effect March 1 WASHINGTON AP The House, rebuffing President Eisenhower, voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to increase the. Federal minimum wage from 75 cents to $1 an hour effective March 1.

The roll-call vote was S62 to 54. Mr. Eisenhower had advocated an increase to 90 cents an hour. The Senate also went against the Administration wishes and voted for the $1 wage floor. The increase to $1 will affect 2,100,000 persons engaged in interstate commerce.

Most of those persons reside in the South. The House action followed a double defeat for Administration counterproposals to hold the raise to 90 cents, and to delay the increase to $1 until 1957. REPUBLICAN leaders appealed to the House to hold the increase to the "reasonable 90-cent level asked by the President, and accused Democrats of "riding roughshod" over them in refusing to compromise for a year's delay. Democrats, backed by a sizable block of Republicans from industrialized districts, denounced the GOP proposal for a delay as "a political expedient." The House-passed bill now goes back to the Senate to compromise a difference in dates on which the increase would become effective. The Senate bill makes the increase effective next Jan.

"Well, I stuck in the table leaves," said the harassed housekeeper, "but there's still not enough room." "How many gentlemen are you trying to seat?" "Six Russians and eight of our men." "Fourteen," said the lady from Geneva.

"Those extra leaves will do it. I've seated 14 many a time. There was a pause on the telephone. "Have you ever seated six Russians?" asked the housekeeper. The villa owner admitted she had never faced this problem.

$1 Boy, 11, Crushed By Truck Working to Help Widowed Mother Donald Hubert's chance to earn some money for his widowed mother ended in tragedy Wednesday. The 11-year-old boy was killed at 5 p. m. under the wheels of a semitrailer truck he had hired on early in the day to deliver produce. He was the son of Mrs.

Eilese Hubert, 50, of 2170 Monroe, mother of 11 children. Dor.ald was pvlled to his death while trying to lift a friend, Edward, Ford, 14, of 1707 St. Aubin, into the truck on Marston near Oakland. Edward had jumped off and was running iJongside as the ehicle moved at five miles an hour. The Police Department Youth Bureau pondered charges against the driver-owner, Isadore 40, of 22141 Gardner, Oak Park.

They doubted that Eisenberg could be charged under the traffic laws. 'But a City ordinance forbids hiring of boys under 12 and girls under 14. Eisenberg told police he had warned both boys against going near the door through which Edward had jumped. EISENBERG was unaware of the accident until pedestrians screamed. About 11 a.

Eisenberg, en route from the Union Produce Market to a string of groceries which buy his produce, saw the boys at Dubois and E. Lafayette. Eisenberg's helper had failed to report Wednesday morning and since Donald had helped him before, he enlisted the boys aid, he told police. Donald said he would be happy to be able to bring home money to his mother. At the moment her boy was killed, Mrs.

Hubert was visiting another son, Seymour, 22, a patient in the Northville Sanitarium. The children's ages range from 27 to 10. Since the 1947 death of her husband, Frank, Mrs. Hubert has received assistance from the Aid to Dependent Children. The older children have helped support the family.

It was the first matl train robbery here since Aug. 23, 1940. In, that crime, too, the crooks bungled and missed the real money they were after.

The scene of Wednesday night's crime was an 11-car train made up at Pennsylvania Station and bound for Albany on the New York Central tracks. AT 9:30 P.M., the train left the station, an engineer and fireman in the engine and the conductor in the caboose. In the car next to the caboose was Express Messenger Thomas D. Mason, about 60, whose home address was withheld by police for his protection. The car contained several sacks of mail, $2,700 in locked mail pouches, and many express packages.

The train was moving slowly through 'a cut at 38th St. when the two bandits confronted Mason with guns in their hands and handkerchiefs on their faces. They carried handcuffs and a rope. THEY HANDCUFFED Mason's hands behind his back, jammed his cap into his mouth as a gag, tied his feet and pushed him into a corner. They also took the bullets out of higun.

Then they rummaged through the heavy canvas containers apparently for a particular sack, grabbed it and leaped from the train near 42d St. Mason kicked and thumped against the side of the car. The conductor heard him at 65th stopped the train and freed him. City and railroad police, postal "They're different," explained the housekeeper. "They're so broad." "But how do you know they won't fit? The housekeeper confessed she'd done a dry-run by calling in the hefty gardener and having him sit down six times as a Russian.

"Then look in the second cellar pantry," suggested the villa owner, "and you'll find still another leaf." Thirty minutes later the housekeeper telephoned again. We put in the third extra leaf. The table is long enough admitting Germany's right to rearm. "The draft treaty can be considered as tacit recognition of the 12 divisions allowed West Germany under the Paris agreements," a French delegate said. American diplomats agreed.

The Russian treaty proposes that both Communist East Germany and the Bonn Republic become members of a broad, 50-year European security pact pending the unification of Germany. It also calls for a freeze on armies in Europe, an East-West jnonaggression pledge and even-I tual disbandment of the Atlantic jand Warsaw alliances.

QUALIFIED SOURCES in the British Delegation believe that the Russians are interested in the four proposals that Britain has made on European security. The British Government regards the Russian attitude toward these proposals as a test of the Soviet Union's intentions. Eden proposed Wednesday that the foreign ministers study: 1 Unification of Germany, having regard to the security of all concerned. 2 A security pact for Europe or part of Europe. 3 Limitation and inspection of forces and armaments in Germany and Germany's neighbors.

4 The possibility of creating a demilitarized area. President Eisenhower had told the conference it was clear that the exchange of ideas on Germany gone about as far as it could. British Prime Minister Eden then came forward with the proposal that the difficult problems be turned over to the foreign ministers. They may report back befor the present conference finishes at the end of this week. Or they may choose to continue discussions later in the year.

MR. EISENHOWER remarked that perhaps the foreign ministers could find a better bridge between the differing viewpoints expressed at the meeting. The President said he held the conviction that the four powers Turn to Page 4, Column 2 Talk with a Familiar Ring In disarmament the West and East meet on another field where the weeds have been well beat down. Disarmament conferences have been held many times since World War I. THE MOST SENSATIONAL SUCCESS OCCURRED IN NAVAL ARMS, as a result of the Washington treaty of 1923 and the London Naval Pact of 1930.

IN A BURST OF WISHING TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT THE UNITED STATES WAS SINCERE ABOUT RENOUNCING WAR AS A NATIONAL POLICY WE GOT RID OF HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF NAVAL SHIPPING. More than 200 ships ranging from "the dust of the sea" minesweepers, tenders and other small craft to destroyers, cruisers and battleships were destroyed or converted to peaceful uses. Many of the vessels were chopped up with acetylene torches. We abandoned a program of building capital ships WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN US AN UNCHALLENGED LEAD IN WORLD NAVAL POWER. We could have used the destroyed and unbuilt craft after Fearl Harbor.

We have been a little nervous about disarmament ever since. We cut our army to 250,000 men and just enough equipment for them during the 'twenties with the result that when World War II started our rookies had to train in Louisiana with broomstick rifles and lengths of stovepipe to simulate howitzers.
