Wage Agreement Reached
Half Hour Before Deadline

WASHINGTON, March 7-UP)-
A threatened nationwide bIackout
OF telephone communications was
averted today when telephone COM
pany and union officials agreed on
a new wage pattern just 80 min
uteS before the 6 am. strike dead
line.
The last minute settlement
nevertheless came too late TO pre-
vent confusion among the cOun-
try'S 100000 phone workers who
had expected to leave their Jobs.
Many had gone out hours befors
the strike deadline. And in Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Detroit and
other large cities, the operators
walked out promptly at 6 am, and
started picketing, unaware that
their disputes had been settled and
that they had been asked not to
walk out.
They began drifting back as the
notices Of strike cancellation reach
ed their locals.

Patman Bill
.Up For Vote

WASHINGTON, March 7-Up>-
The House rolled toward final
vote on the heavily belabored Pat
man Housing Bill today in the face
or a new Republican move to side
track the measure.
Rep. Jessie Sumner, R., H.,
warned she would move to send
the bill back to the banking COM
mittee when it comes to a vote.
She hoped Southern Democrats
would join the almost solid COP
ranks In supporting the motion.
The same Republican-Southern
Democratic coalition consistently
has beaten back administration ef-
forts to write into the bill provi-
sions for building material subsi-
dies and price controls on used
homes.
President Truman described these
provisions as the heart" Of the
administrations program to build
100000 new housing units during
the next two years.
The only major part Of that pro-
gram still left in the bill was an
item setting price ceilings on new
homes.
