55,000 Telephone Workers In 44 States Vote To Strike
Washington—(U.P.)—The CIO communications workers announced today that more than 55,000 telephone workers, including installers in 44 states, have voted to strike unless they get a "substantial" wage increase.
The union said the workers voted 4 to 1 to give CWA President Joseph Bierne authority to call a walkout after five days notice. No strike date has been set.
Voting to strike were 18,000 Michigan Bell employees; 15,000 Ohio Bell workers and 7,000 employees of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company in northern California, as well as 15,750 telephone installers and distributors of the Western Electric system across the country.
Those workers staged an 11-day strike in November, 1950, winning a 6 per cent wage boost. Their average hourly pay is $1.53.
The strike vote was taken, the union said, because wage offers by American Telephone and Telegraph companies were "so far below what we are entitled to under wage stabilization regulations."
Alacatraz Prision May Be Closed
Washington—(U.P.) —Alcatraz, the big, federal prison on a rock in San Francisco bay, may be abandoned because of its cost.
Attorney General J. Howard McGrath said the cost of keeping bank robbers, murderers, kidnappers, and other hardened criminals at Alcatraz has been "tremendous." He said it is necessary to transport to the island all the food, water, and other supplies to keep it running.
McGraath said the cost figures for 1949 showed that it required $8 a day to house a prisoner on Alcatraz, compared with less than $3 a day of other prisons. The 125 guards required to watch the 228 prisoners on the island made up a large part of the 1949 cost.
In the event the "rock" is abandoned, the prisoners would be transferred to other federal penitentiaries.
South Africans In Demonstration
Capetown, South Africa—(U.P.) —Police reserves were called out in Pretoria Monday night when government supporters hurled tear gas bombs and rotten eggs into a crowd of 20,000 “Torch Commandos” demonstrating against Premier Daniel F. Malan.
The torchlight meeting in South Africa's legislative capital was the biggest of 30 mass rallies staged throughout South Africa to demand Malan's resignation because of the premier's plans to block the power of the country's courts.
Several persons were reported injured in fist fights in Pretoria and several were treated at hospitals for tear gas gombs but no large-scale rioting broke out.
Ask $70,000 For Vatican Embassy
Washington—(U.P.)—The state department has asked Congress for $70,000 to set up an American embassy at the Vatican during the next fiscal year, it was revealed today.
The request was made during recent hearings of the house appro-

Barter Theater To Present Shakespeare Play 3 Days
Romoff has been with the Barter theater of Virginia five years. He has been seen many times in the CBS television production, "Studio One," and last year gained considerable recognition in the Mary Chase premier of "Mr. Thing."
The Barter theater's presentation of "The Merchant of Venice" which begins at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Fraser theater, will offer theater goers an opportunity to see a professional theater company in a Shakespearean production.
This production is directed by Margaret Perry and stars Woodrow Romoff as Shyllock, and Patricia O'Connell as Portia.
The play which also shows Thursday and Friday, is one of the most familiar and best loved of Shakespeare's plays. It is probably best remembered for the contrasts in the light and pathetic transitions of mood.
Others appearing in the cast are: Susan Willis, recently of the Cleveland Playhouse; Clayton Corzatte, who played the leading role in the Barter theater's nationwide tour of "The Hasty Heart"; John Holland, veteran radio dramatic actor;
prisions committee, and was made public today.
George W. Perkins, assistant secretary of state for European affairs, testified that the funds would include salaries for six United States and four local positions "and for the official residence expenses of a small mission."
A JOB

When you get
OR
Once there was a Senior who faced the grim prospect of Security 42 years away, he recognized the need of a job.
The Case of the THREE-CENT PATSY
So he burrowed manfully through Classified Sections, under "Help Wanted", in search of the Right Niche, Spotted too, one day. A honey, Good Molar, too, one day. A honey, Good Molar, too, one day. The sions and benefits up to here. The ad asked for Brief Histories from applicants.
So he wrote. Not cockily, but convincingly.
A masterpiece that took four nights and
died six pages with death in its tracks. It left no
mark on the cover. The Mae for the Job.
He slapped on a 3-cent stamp.
P. S.—he didn't get the job, his Epistle撰 up as 334th in the pile, and they never got down that far. Hired one of the first eight, as a matter of fact—all of whom had Enough Brains to flash the Data by telegram and land on Top of the Heap.
Whether you're canvassing Personnel Managers or just hooking up with a Hen Back Home, you can count on a Telegram to get there first. A Potent Point to remember, too, is that the telegram, in remembrance of Mother's day, or working up with two words to the Wise are "Western Union."
