Westinghouse Strike,
Then Walk Out Again
B, the Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11.-A
hitch developed in the settle
ment of the strike by office
workers of the Westinghouse
Electric Corp. today and thou
sands of workers remained away
from their jobs.
Nearly $4,000 white collar workers
had been ordered yesterday by the
War Labor Board to return to work
after brief work stoppage and
union leaders issued back-to-work
instructions last night.
Many workers had entered the big
East Pittsburgh works this morning,
when they were Unexpectedly called
out over a loud-speaker system
and told to attend a union mass
meeting.
Directives Differ.
The Office of the Westinghouse
Independent Salaried Unions said,
Some of the units didn't want to
work because they didn't get the
same directive from the War Labor
Board that other units got"
A spokesman said:
I'VE were acting in good faith that
the WLB had promised to send the
same directive to all units.
THE local unit is out and is stay
ing out"
The strike yesterday affected
White-collar workers at plants in
six States. The union demands
higher pay.
Truman Asked to Intervene.
Leo Bollens, president of the
union, sent a telegram to President
Truman asking that he intervene.
The telegram said, in part:
Several units have refused to 60
back to work and many of those re-
turning cannot be kept in because
of lack of faith that either the WLB
or the company will effectively act
to settle the dispute.
THE employees have little or no
faith in the WLB, because of its
handling of this case, because it is
on the way out, and because it has
given different stories to some
affiliates."
In Baltimore 900 workers remained
on strike. The workers of the cor
pOration's three Baltimore plants
had voted unanimously to strike for
incentive pay similar to that re-
tceived by production workers and
nad contributed $4,000 in cash and
checks and pledged another sl,50O
to carry the strike through.

EspiFs Return Here Viewed
As Bid to Regain Favor

The decision to return DR.. Espil
10 Washington was regarded here as
an effort by the Argentine govern
ment to attempt to gain favor In
the United States.
During more than 20 years diplo-
matte service here, DR.. Espil estab-
hshed himself as one of the most
popular members of the diplomatic
corps.
He served as First Secretary and
Counselor of the Argentine Embassy
here from 1919 to 1923 and returned
In 1881 as Ambassador. He was re-
called in 1943 soon after the State
Department gave his government
then holding out as neutral in the
war-a stern rebuke in refusing a
request for lease-lend aid.
During his first months as AM
bassador in Washington DR.. Espil
was married to the former Mrs.
Courtney Let's Borden, who had
made her debut here in the winter
of 1888.
His American-born wife accom-
panied him when he left Washing
ton to serve as Argentine Ambas-
sador in Brazil and later in Madrid.
A new American Ambassador to
Argentina is expected to be named
soon to replace Ambassador Spruille
Braden, recently appointed Assist
ant Secretary of State in charge of
