'Fair Deal' {
N.Y.Today
Test-Run Foreseen
In Senatorial Race,
Other U. S. Elections
By The Associated Press
President Truman’s ‘Fair Deal”
program-came in for a major pub
lic test today at the hands of an
estimated 5,500,000 New Yorkers
voting on the election of a United
States Senator.
The bitter contest between Sen
ator John Foster Dulles, Republi
can, and former Democratic Gov=-
ernor Herbert H. Lehman far
overshadowed several other con
tests and issues in scattered elec
tions aeross the nation.
The two men, both prominent
publie figures, campaigned hard to
fill out the unexpired term of
former Senator Robert F. Wagner
(D.-N.Y.), a “New Deal” stalwart
who resigned because of ill health
last July. Gov Thomas E. Dewey
appointed Dulles to serve until the
election.
aWagner’s term will expire in
January, 1951. Ordinarily a race
for such a short term would ex
cite little public interest. But the
stature of the two candidates plus
their clear-cut definition of issues
has projected the scrap into a pre
view of the 1950 campaign where
the control of Congress will be at
stake.
Lehman, 71, embraced the “Fair
Deal” for his campaign and stump-=
ed vigorously for Mr. Truman's
program. He received a public
endorsement from the President
and active support from present
and former Democratic cabinet
members,
Central Gov't
Dulles, 10 years Lehman’s junfor,
has hammered away hotly at Mr.
Truman’s domestic policies as (a)
threatening individual liberties
and (b) leading to the develop
ment of an all-powerful Central
Government.
Dulles has had the active back
ing of Gov. Dewey.
Observers predicted that 5,500,-
000 of the 6,300,000 eligible voters
would go to the polls. The election
for mayor in New York City,
where a hot three-cornered race
took place, and Albany, Bingham
ton, Buffalo, Syracuse and Utica
were expected to contribute to the
surge of voters to the ballot boxes.

Strike Of 45,000 Workers
PITTSBURGH, Nov. B.— (AP) —Republic Steel Cor
poration and the CIO United Steelworkers today signed a
pension and insurance agreement which ended a 39-day
old strike of 45,000 union employes against the nation’s
third largest steel producer, e <
The agreement provides: \
Insurance — Republic’s present
contributory insurance plan is
continued but with increased ben
efits. Employes will continue to
pay three and one half cents per!
hour and the company will pay
two and one half cents per hour.
Pensions—The plan is an exact
replica of the Bethlehem agree
ment. |
Employes reaching the age of
65 who have 25 years service will
receive a minimum pension of SIOO
a month including Social Security.
Employes 85 years old with 15 to
25 years service will receive pro
portionate pensions.
The agreement was signed by
CIO and steelworkers president
Philip Murray and by E. J. Ma
gee, acting director of Public In
dustrial Relations.
Agreement was reached in a one
hour and 15-minute session in
Murray’s office.
Earlier today the union signed
an agreement with the nation’s No.
4 producer, Jones and Laughlin
Steel Corporation. That settle
ment, too, was in line with the
Bethlehem Steel pact. It ended
the strike of 25,000 workers.
Effective Today
Vice President Thomas F. Pat
ton of Republic who is also the
firm’s general counsel said the Re
public agreement is effective at 3
». m. ST,
“It is expected that Republic’s
plants will be reopened on Tues
day but full production will be
delayed until there is more light
on the coal strike. Republic now
has less than a three-week coal
supply.”
Republic Steel, with a total of
about 75,000 employes, said ap
proximately 2,000 emloyes will be
eligible for retirement on Janu
sary ¥ aithough retivement will not
be compulsory. ke
The agreement, third to be sign
ed among the country’s largest
steel producers, makes provision
for pensions above the SIOO a
month minimum.
Those payments are computed
by taking one per cent of an em
ploye’s average annual earnings

Financial Circles Say December 10
Dividend Will Set All-Time Record
NEW YORK, Nov. B.—(AP)—One of the biggest cash
dividends in American history will go to General Motors
stockholders on December 10,
It totals more than $190,000,000, With other payments
already made this year, it will bring the company’s grand
total of dividends for 1949 to more ‘than one-third of a
billion dollars.
This is an all-time record for
General Motors Corp., and finan
c{al circles said it probably is an
all-time record for the United
States.
The yearly earnings will amount
to $8 a share for common stock,
which has a par value of $lO. The
stock closed yesterday—before the
company announcement —at
$69.121, a share. The year's divi
dend will be 80 per cent of the par
value anrd almost 12 per cent of
;’mf da; & price, G
" Reaction g:m'mrm the
New York Stock Exchange will be
delayed until tomorrow, since the
exchange is closed today for the
general election.
The San Francisco Exchange
still was open, however, when
word of the announcement hit the
tickers. The price shot up im
mediately, &
The huge dividend comes from
record-breaking earnings recent
ly reported by the company sales
for the first nine months this year
totaled $4,458,000,000, well over a
billion dollars more than the com
parable 1948 figure of $3,436,000,-
000. The net profit for the first
nine months of this year was
$502,000,000, compared to $327,-
000,000 for the same period last
year, This year’s total dividend
.will be $351,664,000. )
Of the company’s 44,000,000
shares of common stock, E 1. De=
Pont De Nemours and Co. holds
10,000,000 and will receive nearly
a quarter of the dividend. The Du=-
Pont board will meet about Nov.
15 A 0 decide its own dividend ac
tion.
In a joint statement, C. E. Wil
son, General Motors president, and
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman,
said-requirements of the last four
years made it necessary for the
company to hold back a high per
centage of profits for new plant

The canned goods also undersell

“Retail prices of canned fruits

“Usually, the maximum price

OFF HAWAII, Nov. B—(AP) —
A submarine-launched huzz bomb
zoomed over a long line of 35
navy ship yesterday and atfpar
ently escaped a hit from anti-alr
craft guns. .. :
The nissile was assisted l:ly a
‘rocket in its takeoff from the deck
of the submarine Carbonero.
Known in Navy parlance .as a
loon, the missile was launched 20
miles behind 35 ships strung out
over a 21-mile course. It sped
400-500 miles an hour over its
controlled course and plunged into
the sea 80 miles from where it was
launched.
A close look at the loon launch
ing showed the navy’s missile de
velopment has reached a stage
where submarines van carry a
number of jet weapons in normal
undereas operations. Loon wings
are detachable and the missile and
its jet engine when hioken down
probably would occuny the same
cpace area in a submarine as
three torpedoes.
