U.N.O. Gets Going On Arms Plan
Lake Success, N.Y., Dec. 5. The United Nations, with rare unanimity, today made real progress toward the plan to reduce weapons and outlaw atomic warfare and other methods of mass destruction. There were no clashes between Russia and the United States, no angry words, no stubbornness, no table- thumping.
The sub-committee charged with writing the dis--
armament resolution agreed on an entire paragraph in a three-hour meeting. After six weeks of failure to agree on anything, word- weary delegates considered this almost pheno- menal speed.

Oakland, Cal. Dec.
The two-day general strike which strangled commerce for 1,000,000 persons in East San Francisco Bay commun- ities was broken yester- day when the City of Oakland and AFL strike leaders. reached an agreement terminating the walkout..
The agreement stipulated that police were not to be used to break picket lines and that officials were to be neutral in labour disputes..
Employees began returning to work almost immediately after city officials and business lea- ders agreed to accept the union proposal for settlement
The city's transit system went back into operation, as well AS factories, shipyards and restaurants. AFL officials vote unanimously to call off the, strike at a meeting at the Labour Temple shortly before

The mass walkout was called off after the solidarity of the AFL block began crumbling. when the Teamsters one of the most powerful unions in- volved-announced they would return to work with or without settlement.
Little violence marked the three-day strike, although several persons suffered minor injuries in scattered fighting.
