American Brass and Chase have
made no counter-offer TO the clio
on Its wage demands. The Scovill
Mfg. Co. offered 10 percent, with
provisions for an additional boost,
but withdrew this proposal after 1t
had been rejected by the union.

Keep In Touch with Cleveland
CLIO leaders plan to keep in close
touch with developments at the
Cleveland conference. They believe
that formation Of an all-union
council would be a major step to-
ward a general wage pattern for
brass and possible future negotia-
tons on an industry-wide basis.
Settlement Of the steel strike,
with workers expected to get an in
crease Of Is leg cents an hour, will
again bring into the limelight an
offer by State CLIO Secretary john
j. Driscoll to settle the brass strike
on similar basis.
In any settlement the union
plans to press for increases retro
active to last June 80. In the AM
erican Brass Company case the
union will also demand payment
by the company Of compensatory
bonus, estimated to amount to ST.
600 900 or more, to more than l.
800 workers, as ordered by the re-
gional War Labor Board.
While other local units OF the
Chase Brass and Copper Company
are closed by the brass strike, OPP
erations are proceeding as usual at
the Norea- Manufacturing Com
pany division on Griggs Street.
The estimated lbs employees at
Norea are not REPRESENTED by any
union and have not been affected
by the strik which began at the
parent concerns plants 10 days
ago.

Council voted to defer a decision
on that until the parties to the
present case are heard.
SsIn Has Major Issues
The assembly stin had two major
issues to haTldle-plenary session
action on sites for temporary and
permanent UNO headquarters in
the United States, and a Russian
effort to obtain a privileged posi-
ton for the World Federation OF
Trade Unions.
The ASsembly's plenary session
was to consider a committee report
recommending New York City as
temporary UNO headquarters, and
the area as permanent headquart-
ers.
Empire state Space Open
Stoyan Gavrilovich Of YugoSlavia,
chairman OF a subcommittee which
recommended the sites, indicated
that the Empire State Building
might house the UNO secretariat
aNEaIlK the AllbCGlki& pNaADl.
Gavrilovich said the United States
Government has 100000 square feet
OF floor space in the Empire State
Building. The uNO secretariat
would need only about so percent Of
that The u. S. Government will
help the UNO find proper facilities.
There were indications that the
Security Council might continue in
session for a day or two after the
assembly finishes, possibly until
Saturday. The Councils adjourn
mens depended upon the speed with
which it handled the Levant States
request that 1t should ask Britain
and France to withdraw their troops
from Syria and Lebanon.
IndOneSia Case Resolved
The week-long fight between Bri-
tain and Russia over the use OF
British troops in IndoneSia died
quietly in the Security Council last
night after three attempts to get
appointment Of an investigating
commission, or at least a statement
critical Of British activities, were
-oundly rejected.
Officially the case was closed
without any action. Two Russian
attempts 10 get a commission APP
pointed failed to win the required
seven votes. An Egyption resolution
that British troops should not b.
used against the Indonesian Ma
tionalist Observation-Disclosures that
they had been so used in the past
likewise failed 10 get the necessary
support.
The Council postponed until next
September consideration OF an APP
plication 10 admit Albania into the
United Nations.
Insist No Deal Made
Officials insisted that 70 deal
had been made over Indonesia. The
issue simply resolved itself. Obsery-
ers were convinced that Soviet Rus
STA and the Soviet Ukraine, while
technically defeated. had won their
objective Of assuming the role as
champion Of dependent peoples in
their fight for independence.
The Russians appeared ready 10

airy session for admission of the

pro-Peron newspaper Ia Epoca that
Peron would reply "a, the American
charges today In its columns. La
Epoca called the American charges
'unfounded lies"
The neRspape II Mundo said edi-
torially that "America has motives
to distruSt u.s." It said that the Ar
gentine people had watched its gov
ernments foreign policy suspiciously
and would not abandon their tradi-
tional sentiments despite all the eff
forts Of Maj agents.
A complete translation Of the ga
000-word text has now been pub
liShed in Buenos Aires newspapers.
Troop Movement RumOred
The nation was greatly confused
and stirred by rumors. A report of
troop movements circulated in
Buenos Aires this morning, but the
activity proved TO be q movement OF
new draftees.
There was intense speculation
about the effect Of the American
memorandum on the Feb. a eleetion,
when Peron seeks the presidency.
Conferences were held last night
in the residence of President Edel-
miro Farrell.
LaEpoca said It would publish
Peron's retort, which It promised
would contain a strongly worded at
tack on Spruille Braden, U. S. Un-
derSecretagy of State whom Peron
blames as the man behind the Amer
lean charges.
Attacks Feature Braden
LaEpoca, commenting on the
American charges, said "Brsden
never told the truth and his latest
broadside against our country is the
last drop. References made to Peron
in the blue book are unfounded lies. F"
LaEpoca added that Peron's re-
ply would reveal the intrigues and
spy campaign Of the unworthy rep
resentative Of the great nation Of
the north"
Peron's role is technically that Of
a private citizen. He Is not a mem
Der Of the Farrell government at
present, but is running for presi-
dent in the Feb. "a election. Thus his
statements have no official stand
ing. Any diplomatic break or other
formal government reply must come
from the Farrell government.
Peron sought to depict the whole
controversy as a personal fight
against Braden. In recent speeches
ne has portrayed Braden as the evil
genius behind American policy who
is responsible for all the Argentine
American difficulties. A source close
TO Peron indicated that the colonel
would attack Braden on his alleged
cealtngs with the sugar industry,

Bakery workers
see victory

Chicago's bakery workers ap-
pear headed for a victory in their
week-old dispute with approx
mately 400 small bakeries.
Over half of the bakeries had
signed contracts with Locals 2
and 62 of the AFL Bakery and
Confectionery Workers by mid
week, and new contracts were
coming in to union offices rapid
ly, according to union officials.
Leveen Fernstrom, business
agent of Local 81, pointed out
that about half of the bakeries
that had not yet settled with the
union were on vacation, and the
number of bakeries holding out
against union demands for higher
wages and shorter work week
represented only small frac-
ton of the employers involved in
the dispute.
