UMTS ARE PUNNED
The ClO-Communications Workers
fixed Feb. 8 as the date for a walk-
out of 100,000 Bel Telephone work-
ers—the start of a nationwide strike
program.
Another 200,000 Bel! System em-
ployes are expected to observe the
picket lines of the first luO.OOO union
members whose contracts already
have expired and who are free to
strike immediately.
President Joseph A. Beirne of the
CWA told a news conference the
initial walkout was set to begin at
6 a. m. local time on Feb. 8 unless
the Government or the Bell Tele-
phone Co. acts to avert the show-
down.
If the strike actually takes place,
union strategy aims at flood of tele-
phone calls in hope of jamming the
dial service. Beirne has suggested
that the CIO urge its members to
make lots of calls if necessary. CIO
President Philip Murray pledged
“whatever help you may require”
without specifying the nature of co-
operation to be extended.
Beirne said every telephone ex-
change in the nation will be picketed.
He expressed confidence the picket
lines will be observed not only by the
CWA’s own members—mostly wo-
men telephone operators and clerical
help—but by the members of the
other independent unions in some
areas like New York C’ty.
MacArthur Has
70th Birthday
TOKYO, Jan. 26.—With little cere-
mony, General Douglas MacArthur
observed his 70th birthday today.
Brisk and in good health, the com-
mander of the occupation of this
nation he did much to defeat received
congratulations from wellwishers who
crowded his anteroom.
As the general left his office at
lunchtime, several hundred Japanese
urchins on the sidewalk sang “hap-
py birthday” and waved homemade
American flags.
