KAISER MEDIATES

It was an accidental dinner table conversation by Henry Kaiser which finally broke the strike of 100000 General Electric workers, away from their machines for two long months.
 Kaiser found himself seated next to General Electric President Charles Wilson at a dinner and heard Wilson bemoaning his strike troubles, and how tough it was to get along with the CIO. Kaiser laughed, said he had no trouble at all, but had found Phil Murray easy to do business with.
 Finally, Kaiser asked Wilson if he would mind sitting down and talk ing the matter over secretly with CIO General Counsel Lee Press man in Kaisers New York office Wilson finally agreed. Next morn ing Pressman came to New York, talked with Wilson for four hours, and together they cleaned out the underbrush that had been blocking a settlement.
 Kaiser sat through it all, nervous and perspiring. It was his first ef- fort at mediating someone else's strike
 To cinch the agreement, Kaiser and Pressman arranged for Wilson to make a flying trip to Florida, sign the final deal with Murray That's how 100000 more men went back to the production line.
 Note-General Electric's Charles E. Wilson is frequently confused with General Motors Charles E Wilson. Both had long strikes or their hands. Both strikes ended the same day.

AS to the arguments of critics
that restoration of price control

situation, the OPA official said:
Price control on meat does
not reduct the total supply that
will be available to consumers IN

"On the contrary" it should &C

With practicable prices farmers

Tonight executives of the bus and

pickets are removed permanent
ly, their meA would return to work.
They asked Mayor David L.
Lawrence to find a way to make
Mueller withdraw his pickets.
Ironically, these same unions
joined in the wave of labor pro-
test when the city tried to employ
an anti-strike injunction to prevent
the power union from walking out.
An overflow mass meeting of
the union tonight voted against
acceptance Of the company wage
and pension offer, and as a result,
Mueller said, the strike is still
on"
He explained that the company
pension plan provided that the
union members contribute up to
2 per cent of their earnings to the
plan, thus making the wage in
crease only 3 per cent.
An estimated so, 900 persons had
been made jobless by the strike,
and losses in wages and produc-
ton were believed to have run as
high as $1o0, 900, 900. However,
basic steel mills, which produce
their own power, were planning to
operate next week at 103 per cent
of theoretical capacity.
The Duquesne Light Co. has
maintained from 80 to 40 per cent
of its normal power output, but

The Turkish note to Russia, re-

and British assurances of sup

Anglo-American ENJOYS in Ankara

to American diplomatic officials
whose greatest concern ove- the
Greek crisis springs from an ap-
prehension that behind the whole
thing may lie elaborate Soviet
plans to outflank the Dardanelles
by bringing about Communist con-
troll of Greece,
Whether the Greek, Turkish and
probably related Iranian troubles
will come to a showdown point
soon is a question without author
itdtive ansWer at the moment.
American officials say and in fact
it is a basic assumption of Amer
lean policy that there is no dan
ger Of imminent war over these or
any other issues lying between
the Soviet Union and the Western
powers.
However, officials are equally
definite in saying that there is
no evidence worthy of inclusion
i'll policy considerations that any
thing which has happened in the
last two or three weeks has elimi-
mated the danger of an eventual
complete breakdown of working
relations between Russia and the
West.

here is that the chances are very

though diplomats still find it hard

cal assertion that he believes Com

The two points of which Ameri.

his government has given a nerve
racking dose of wa scare and,
second, that he was trying to re-
capture Soviet prestige and some
of its following in lands outside
Russia where Russia and com
munism alike have been having
increasingly tough going.
A third point much speculated
upon is that Stain was trying to
drive a wedge between the United
States and Britain in order either
to render Britain a neutral in
the conflict between the two great.
