Bethlehem Lead In Welfare Plan Truce
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. — (AP) — A welfare plan
agreement that sends 80,000 striking CIO Steel Workers
back to their jobs with Bethlehem Steel Corporation t
day buoyed government hopes for a quick end to both
«teel and coal strikes. ‘
Officials said they expect other steel firms will follow
‘1 the footsteps of 'Bethlehem, the nation’s second largest
steel ;)I‘()(lU.C€l', which signed an agreement last night to
end the strike so far as this company was concerned.

. COMMUNITY CHEST
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
The government offjcials said
that now that a break has come in
the steel strike, definite peace
moves may be expected in coal
because of the close relations of
the two basic industries.
Bethlehem signed up in Cleve
land last night with Philip Murray,
president of the CIO and the strik
ing steelworkers.
“We broke the line,” Murray
exulted. “From here on we move
‘ with a firmness of purpose and a
determination that victory will at
]tend our efforts.”
The precedent-making contract
gives Bethlehem workers employ
er-paid pensions starting at SIOO
a month, including the benefits
they get from the government’s
Social Security system.
It also calls for a death, sickness,
accident and hospital cost insur
ance plan worth five cents an
hour per worker, with employer
and worker equally sharing costs.
Final Details
Murray and Bethlehem officials
worked out final details and signed
the agreement at a three-hour con
ference between sessions of Mur
ray’s CIO convention at Cleveland.
The reaction was swift. Gov
ernment Mediation Chief Cyrus S.
Ching said he trusted “this settle
ment will lead to industrial peace
in the steel industry generally, at
‘a very early date.”
U. S. Steel Corp., the biggest
'steel producer which has been
‘holding out for workers paying
’Dar‘c of pension costs, invited peace |
‘talks with Murray’s union. U. S.
Steel’s president, Benjamin F.
'Sairless, said “of course we will
study the Bethlehem settlement.”
Officials expected Jones &
Laughlin Steel Corp. and the
Aluminum Company of America
may be among the first strike
}bound firms to seek settlement
terms after Bethlehem.
A new steel strike started short
1y after Murray sent out orders for
Bethlehem’s 80.000 workers to re
turn to their jobs. The new walk
out was at ~Allegheny-Ludlum
Steel Corp., where 12,500 of Mur
ray’s men quit as negotiations col
lapsed.
Solid Front
_Bethlehem’s breaking of the
solid front of the steel industry
against Murray’s pension-insur
ance demands recalled that it was
Bethlehem, too, that became the
first big steel firm to accept the
idea of President Truman’s steel
fact-finding board.
That was in the early stages of
the steel dispute last July. The
fact-finding board, after hearings,
recommended a 10-cent steel wel
fare vlan peace formula.
Officials here were of the opin
ion the Bethlehem settlement gave
the workers more than the board
had recommended.
But in return, Bethlehem got a
contract commitment that the wel
fare benefit plan won’t be touched
for a five-year period. Also, the
present contract was extended for
two years, postponing talk of any
wage increase until late 1950.
Compromise Farm Bill Now
Law For At Least One Season
Short Life Seen For Measure Which
Continues ‘Wartime’ Price Supports
WASHINGTON, Nov, 1. — (AP) — The compromise
farm bill of the 81st Congress became the law of the land
today for at least one production season.
President Truman put his signature on the measure late
yesterday. He thereby tossed the so-called Aiken law of
the Republicans’ 80th Congress into the wastebasket be
fore it had a chance to go into effect.
A e T s Y St T el el R S
DI VN N N TT L 1 .
But the new measure — which
permites continuation of farm
price supports at or near wartime
levels — was not necessarily as=
sured of a long life span.
To the suprise of some political
and farm circles, th: President
made no statemen’ in connection
with the signing.
Persons in these gourters had
expected him to use the occsion
to say in effect that the new law
is better than the G. O. P. meas
ure.
Those close to Secretary of Ag- |
riculture Brannan said they felt
sure Mr. Truman is as much in
favor of the Brannan proposal as
ever. The President has given it

‘' “The big point of difference .is
he way the various measures
ATHENS, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1949,
But as the time for Sherman’s
arrival neared there was disposi
tion toward caution in such specu=
iation. R -
For one thing, non official--not
President 'Truman, Secretary of
the Navy Matthews, Secretary of
Defense Johnson nor Sherman
himeslf—had said anything pub
licly to support what, in the past
week, had developed into a widely
accepted conclusion.
This suggested several possibil
ities, among them:
1. That perhaps Sherman at no
point has been slated for the job,
but was being brought to the Pen
tagon for another high post in the
Navy command or to serve again
'as a compromise-maker. That was
Sherman’s role in 1946 when most
of the Navy was fighting passage
of a ilaw unifying the armed forces.
Sherman, working together with
the then Maj. Gen. Lauris Norstad
of the Air Force, helped frame the
compromise legislation which
eventually became the unification
act.
2. That there might have been
a change in original plans since
Sherman boarded a commercial
airliner in the Mediterranean and
started for Washington. In this
connection, interest attached to
reports that Johnson and Mat
thews conferred with Mr. Truman
in a White House meeting yester
day morning — a time at which
Sherman was already headed for
the United States.
Future Missions = ‘
Whatever transpired regarding
the future mission of Admiral
Sherman, there was a section of
Congress that didn’t like what
had happened to Admiral Den
feld.

publicans, Arends of Illinois and
Cole of New York, and two Dem
ocrats—Sasscer of Maryland and
Hebert of Louisiana — charged

would handle surpluses of perish
able products, chiefly meats, dai
ry and poultry produets, fruits
and vegetables.
The Brannan plan would allow
prices of these products to seek
their natural levels. tt prices fell
below a pre-determmec ‘“‘fair”
level for producers, the latter
would get governmenr payments

Remove Surpiuses
The new law—llike the Aiken
measure—does not permit this.
Instead it requires tne govern
ment to maintain prives at sup
port levels by removing surplus
&s from the market by means of
government purchases, or loans to
producers.
Both Mr. Truman and his sec
cretary of a-~riculture have said
the Brannan plans would give
consumers ¢ “price break” on
surpluses which they csnnot get
under the present method.
Brannan aides said they expect
the new law — like the one it
supplants — to provide “silent”
argument for the Brannan plan

Explosions, Fire Damage
Postoffice Dept. Building
Federal Workers Flee Into
.
Streets; Loss Unestimated
WASHINGTON, Nov, I.— (AP) —Fire, accompanied
by a rumbling series of explosions, caused heavy damage
to the $11,000,000 Postoffice Department building today
and sent hundreds of government employees fleeing to
the streets.
The blaze was confined to the eighth floor. But before
firemen brought it under control, they poured tons of
water into the columned, limestone structure on Pennsyl
vania Avenue.
Smcke and water damage was
heavy. There was no immediate
official estimate of the loss, but a
somewhat similar fire in 1935—
soon after the building was con
structed—caused $400,000 damage.
At least three persons were in
jured, either by flying glass from
the explosions, or when a section
of the seventh floor ceiling fell in.
Two were employes of the Federal
Communications Commission.
They were Richard Jamison and
D. C. Corrigan. Both suffered
head injuries.
Robert Farrington, an Associat
ed Press reporter, got a bad cut on
the shoulder. A glass door behind
him was blown out on the 7th
floor while he was telephoning a
report on the fire to his office.
Three firemen were taken to
emergency hospital. They were
overcome by smoke fighting the
blaze.
The building houses several
agencies in addition to the Postof
fice Department.
Martin Levy, Federal Communi
cations Commission lawyer, said]
the building was shaken heavily
by the initial explosions. ‘
“They felt like an earthquake,”
Levy said. “The ceiling in my
seventh floor office fell in. Plaster
hit me on the shoulder but I wasn’t
hurt, and I got out by breaking a
glass pane in the door.”
Lights Flicker
Firemen said the blaze appa
rently began in an electrical trans
former room. The first sign of
difficulty was a flickering of lights.

Purge Ready
CLEVELAND, Nov. I—(AP)—
The CIO began to set up the ma
chinery today so: firing prec-
Communist officers ana unions as
part of the purge program of its
militant right-wing.
The CIO conventim also paved
the way for boosting the per capi
ta tax on the 4,000,000 to 6,000,000
members of the CIO from a tem
porary eisht cents a menth to a

tention at the convenfion’s open=-

CIO would “cleanse” itwelf at this
convention of left-wing elements
adhearing to Communist policy.
The big fight over vuster could

Placed in the custody of an
aunt, the girl will remain a juve

“But no one was hurt, because we
all got the hell out of there.”
Even after the fire was under
control, firemen still were trying
to determine whether anyone was
}rapped at any place In the build-~
ng.
Woman Trapped
There were reports that a wo
man was caught in an elevator be
tween floors when the power fail
ed with the-first blast.
More than 30 pieces of fire fight
ing equipment were called into
play. Using extension ladders,
firemen took three people from
the eighth floor.
Efforts to remove one man from
the eighth floor were blocked by
heavy ornamental bars. He was
given a smoke mask.
First District Inspector W. B.
Kelly said that the roof caved in
on the eighth floor on the Penn
sylvania and 12th Street side of
the building. He said he was
climbing between the seventh and
eighth floor when the second ex
plosion occurred and was knocked
down a flight of approximately 20
stairs.
First Blast
Aaron Trail, a postoffice super
intendent, told the following story:
“I was walking down the hall
when the first blast occurred. The
impact blew me down the corridor
about 50 feet. The hall was gut
ted with smoke and I tried to
make my wav to a window to get
out. As I reached there the second
blast occurred and knocked me off
my feet. By this time the whole
eighth floor was so black with
smoke that I couldn’t see and
couldn’t get out. Finally, after
approximately 20 minutes, a fire
man helped me to a stair well.”
Trail’s hair was singed and he
suff;.red cuts on the back of his
neck.
