The Presidents plan calls for
legislation providing fact-findng
boards and a 30-day cooling off
period before a major strike can
be called.
The majorities approve the Presi-
dents plan because they believe
that if it is put into effect it will
operate to reduce costly strikes
such as that at General Motors.
The group showing the greatest
enthusiasm lor the plan, as reflect
ed by the size of the majority
voting approval. is made up Of
farmers.
The lowest majority voting
approval is found among the
manual workers-skilled, semi
skilled, and unskilled workers.
Their vote in favor of the Truman
plan-73 per cent.

president Truman has proposed
law requiring S0-day cooling
off period before . major strike

committee would look into the facts
and causes Of the dispute and make
public its report. Would you favor
or oppose such law?"

Three Raiders Amonq
Seven Schoo|boys
Hitting Over 400
By GEORGE Huber

High school baseball players are
putting up a real battle for the bat
ting championship in the District
high school series, with seven Of
them swatting over 400. Three of
these sluggers belong to Western,
which is one big reason the Red
Raiders are on top this week. Only
In one game have the Red Raiders
had pitching to compare with what
most Of the other seven teams in
the league are getting, but heavy
hitting is more than balancing the
scales in Westerns favor.

Stan King, Coolidge, All; George

Coolidge, .444, and Jack Castro,
Western, .438.
Tomorrow's games will be another
test for Western sluggers as they
go against Tech. The Maroons have
dropped three of their five games
but their hurling, delivered by Bob
Jones and Lefty Burlingame, has
been consistently good. Between
them they have allowed only 81
safeties in five games. Western has
been delivering hits regardless Of
