night. The Board will he cm- powered to receive cdmplaints and make decisions about the

Coun. Gormlcy mnintnlncrl thnf Government cnnirncts should pay the same as the City. Coun. Ed- win Johnstone pointed out that outsiders could still pay 45 cents an hour for laborers in the City if they could get them.

Earlier this year, Britain again attempted to negotiate a cheese contract through the Federal-Gov. ermmem. as she has done since the start of ihe Second World War. Her offer of 5 cents a pound was turned down as "unrealistic."

The Government took steps to establish a floor or minimum of 28 cents a pound for cheddar pay. able to the cheese manufacturer for all unsold surplus. .

Ready For Snap Decision To Bomb Manchurian Bases

LONDON, April 30-(AP)- Britr.-iin, the United States other countries with forces in Korea are setting up machin- ery to make a "snap decision"

-if necessary-on whether to lx

. bomb Manchurian air bases.

Infonned sources said this machinery is being establish- ed in Washington.

The Foreign Office would say that only the question of whether to bomb Manchurian air bases if the Communists unleash large air attacks still is under review and consult- atioil.

A spokesman said no decis- ion yet has been made.

British agreement to such a move probably would come only after a cabinet decision. Britain feels that any such decision should be kept a mil- ilary secret.

Some British officials indi- cated that Britain's future at- titude will be governed by what the Communists do.

Officials said privately that if the Communists unloose major air attacks. Britain will join, other United Nations in retaliatory attacks on their Manchurian bases. But they indicated that such action would be approved only if it was believed absolutely" ncccs- sary to protect U.N. forces.
