MANY FIRMS SIGNED
Washington Parleys On
Economic Affairs Adj
iourn Without Results
(By The Associated Press)

The ranks of striking ClO-Unlt-
ed Steel Workers were reduced by
1900 more this weekend with the
signing of contracts by several IN
dividual steel companies, but a
wage negotiation meeting between
the union and the strike-bound IN
land steel company adjourned
without a settlement.
Both the union and company
announced the meeting had failed.
The union said it gave the com
pany "a chance to agree to an 10
IL cent hourly increase" and the
company refused. The company
said the union asserted it would
not discuss anything less than 10
IL cents.
This concluded the meeting,
1nlands statement read, with the
company saying that if any time
the union had other proposals to
present, the company, would meet
with them promptly"
Sign Contracts
Another 1900 USW members yes
terday had signed contracts with
steel companies, bringing to more
than 20,5OO the number OF en-
ployes who have returned to their
Jobs under such agreements since
the nationwide steel strike, affect
ing 10000 workers, began ID days
ago.
Some so firms, chiefly steel
tabricating companies, have signed

which granted wage increases o.

| In LONG REPORT
New York City Is Suggest
ed AS Interim Office
Of World Agency /

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-(B
A 40 to 50-square mile
tract of land on the New
York Connecticut border was
recommended today as first
choice for the site of an in
ternational city in which the
United Nations would es-
tablish headquarters.
New York City was sug-
gested as interim headquar-
tiers until the international
capital was constructed.
The recommendations were made
IN 35-page report by a UNO site
committee to the United Nations
general assembly in London.
DR.. Slogan Gavrilovic, Conn
mlttee chairman, said at news
conference at the Waldorf Astoria
that the report also recommended
Hyde Park, N. Y, and the Blue
Hills and North shore areas near
Boston as possible sites for the
permanent headquarters of the
United Nations. He said Boston
and Atlantic City had been recon.
mended as alternates for the in.
term headquarters.
Final Action Soon
In London, where the site selec.
ton was made known simultane.
ously with the announcement here,
the general assembly planned to
hear the accommodations formally
Tuesday and expected final action
by the 51-nation body within a
week.
When the site committee began
inspecting the territory within 80
miles of New York City four
weeks ago, DR.. Gavrilovic said
we have in mind city built as
Washington was built more than
100 years ago, only on not such a
big scale"
Such city would displace at
first about $500 persons now liv-
ing in parts of two Connecticut
and four New York towns and
cause the dismantling of some of
the palatial estates which dot the
wooded, rolling country of the site.
The center of the area is 80
miles from New York city. For
many years wealthy New York;
ers have maintained fashionable
estates in the section. The United
Nations headquarters would cover
some of Stamford and Greenwich.
Conn.,, and parts of Harrison, Rye,
North Castle and Pound Ridge.
Would Become Enclave
The United States, under treaty
prepared for American signature,
would receive a 'fair price" for
the site, which would become an
enclave-a piece of international
territory.
LILO tiColy says.
1.-THE U. S. A. undertakes on the
entry into force of this treaty to
vest in the United Nations the full
ownership of all land in the 1one
and of all buildings situated
thereon at the moment of trans.
fer"
The enclave will be unique be-
cause it will be owned by no one
country, but will belong to the
81 United Nations. The United
Nations will ask the United States
to police the boundaries, and the
UNO secretary will be authorized
under the treaty to ask for AM
erican armed police to come into
the zone when he feels it neces-
sary.
Connecticut Attorney General
William L. Haddon told DR.. Gavri-
lovic that the states constitution
presented no obstacles governing
diplomatic privileges and extra
territorial rights. The land, DR..
