TUESDAY, MAY. 20, 1952 Britairl :to. End , China Interests LONDON, May 19 (/P)—Britain informed Red China today tha Britons have decided they can't do business inside that Communis country and want to get out. British holdings in China have been estimated worth 300,000,000 pounds ($840,000,000). : In a note delivered in Peiping, Britain asked the Communist regime to facilitate the disposal or closing down, of British busi ness interests and to grant exit visas for some 120 British busi nessmen. The Communists in the past have refused to give exit visas in some cases. The note told to Communists that .the decision to pull out was made by the businessmen. A For eign Office spokesman said Brit ain would maintain its contacts— "such as they are" in Peiping. These contacts are a British. charge 'd'affairs and a small staff. Britain recognized 'China's Com munist government in January of 1950. British business interests in China supported that move. They apparently felt they still would be able to operate under the Reds. G. E. Mitchell, vice chairman of the China Association, an or , ganization representing British business interests in' China, indi cated that Britons still hope to trade with China, though not in it. He said China exported 10,000,- 000 'pounds ($28,000,000) worth of goods and commodities to Britain in 1950, and 8,000,000 pounds ($22,400,000) in 1951. He estimated Brtish exports to China at $9,- 800,000 in 1950, and 2,500,000 pounds ($7,000,000) in 1951. Mitchell said there were two main reasons why British firms decided -to get out of Red China. "The first is that they cannot continue indefinitely to operate at a loss," he said. "The second reason is that the managers and other British em ployes of the firms have the great est possible difficulty, and ex perience prolonged delays, in ob taining permission to enter or leave the country, Admiral Joy To Leave Truce Team MUNSAN, Tuesday, May 20 (JP) Vice Adm.

It is unfortunate that some groups resort to such tactics to divert attention from the basic problem of choosing their candi date. "Examples of this type of 'poli tics can' be found in elections ranging from dormitory represen tatives to All-College officers, but they should be avoided at all costs, since they only serve to di vide and - disrupt the organization involved.

I am:,sure that we .can all cooperate and work toward th e best possible student government • for Penn State." Worth_ is a member of Lion's Paw.

PENNSYLVANIA Oil Workers Move to End Walkout DENVER, May 19 (JP)—A re turn-to-work move picked up speed among striking oil workers today, promising an end soon to the strike, now in its 20th day, and replenishment of the nation's dwindling stores of aviation gas oline. 0. A. Knight, president of the Oil Workers International Union (CIO) said some companies are complicating negotiations by try ing to change the duration of wage agreements and that if any further oil and gasoline short ages occur, the responsibility "must rest entirely upon the oil companies." The biggest break in the strike front occurred today when the union, - w it h headquarters here, announced 10,000 members strik ing against the Sinclair Refining Company had signed a wage agreement. The Sinclair group is the largest single bargaining unit among the 22 CIO, AFL, and independent unions which called the walkout April 30.

Stotidt resigned at the begin ning of the.meeting.

Won On First Ballot • - - - He added that, "Now there seems to be more infantilism and less maturity by a certain few associated with the Board of Gov ernors.

State Bollege ' White House OKs Rail Dispute Plan WASHINGTON, May 19 (JP)—The nation's railroads tonight ac cepted a White House plan to settle the three-year rail dispute with three big operating unions. But the unions—the engineers, firemen and conductors with a combined , membership of 150,000—were still studying the proposal offered by Presidential Assistant John It. Steelman. There was no indication the unions would either accept or reject the peace pro posal tonight. Steelman personally announced the plan and said it would boost wages 37 cents an hour for men who work in the yards and 23 1 / 2 cents for men working on the roads. These amounts include a 12 1 / 2 cent and five cent boost for yardmen and roadmen, respec tively, which the Army, in tech nical control of the roads since they were seized by the govern ment in August, 1950, put into effect in Feburary, 1951. Steelman said part of the wage boosts would be retroactive to October, 1950. He estimated each employe would receive between $6OO and $llOO in back pay and that retroactivity would cost the carriers more than 100 million' dollars. Main obstacle to settle ment of the long labor dispute, however, is a carrier •demand for changes in working conditions or operating rules Red Flag Antics Bring Arrests CHICAGO, May 19 (W)—Three college youths arrested after fly ing the red flag of Russia from a South Side apartment wind o w drew a continuance today at their arraignment in Municipal Court.
