BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Recommendations of a Federal
board for settlement of the Gen
eral Motors Corp. wage strike
were awaited today as the Gov
ernment chances of heading off
next weeks strikes in the steel,
meat packing and electrical ap-
pliance industries were improved.
Negotiations looking toward set
tlement of wage differences were on
in all three strike e-threatened indus
tries CIO unions were involved in
the three disputes in which more
than million workers have been
asked to quit their jobs on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.
Lloyd K. Garrison, chairman of
President Truman'S fact-hnding
board, which investigated the So
day General Motors automotive
strike, said the panel would do its
best to get its report and recon-
mendationS for settlement of the
wage dispute with the CIO United
Auto Workers to the White House
today.
May Be Released Today.
There was the possibility that the
report would be made public late
today or tomorrow. The report,
some officials said, would carry a
recommendation for about an 18
per cent wage increase to the auto
workers. 1t is expected to set a
pattern for settlement in other big
disputes. GINS best offer to its en-
ployes was slightly more than 10
per cent. The CIO asked 80 per
cent increase.
Mr.. Garrison refused to give any
information on the report in ad-
vance of its release by the White
House, but in reply to a reporters
question regarding the reported rec
ommendation for an 18 per cent or
20-cent-an-hour increase, he re-
piled: THAT is not correct"
The Detroit News in copyrighted
story from it's Washington Bureau
declared the board would recon-
mend an increase of 20 cents an
hour, or about 18 per cent, for the
GIN production workers. The boards
findings, according to the News, were
based on what GIN can afford to pay
on 1941 production levels. If 1916
levels exceed this, the story related,
further wage adjustments may be
made later. The panel recommend
ed strongly against any price in
crease.
Mr.. Garrison refused to give any
information on the report in ad-
vance of its release by the White
House, but in reply to a reporters
question regarding the reported
recommendation for 20-cent-per-
hour increase. he replied: THAT is
not correct"
Reuther Calls Conference.
Walter P. Reuther, UAW vice
president, telegraphed all GIN local
unions announcing a special ma
tional conference in Detroit Sunday
to act on whatever recommends
tions the Garrison board may make.
United States Steel Corp, its
financial position apparently boil
stored by Government promise of
a sizeable increase in steel prices,
held in New York it's first wage
talks since last October with en-
battled United Steel Workers.
A high Federal labor official, who
|said he was sure United States Steel,
largest producer of the industry,
would make wage offer to its
workers, added that the offer would

Life-Death Issue
Seen by Att|ee
In Opening UN0
Representatives of 81
Nations Present as
Assembly Convenes
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. Prime
Minister Attlee opened the his
toric first meeting of the Gen.
eral Assembly of the United
Nations today with. a warning
that the delegates must make
their choice between life or
death" for the peoples of the
world.
''T'he coming of the atomic bomb
was only the last of series of warn
ings to mankind that, unless the
powers of destruction could be con-
trolled, immense ruin and almost
annihilation would be the lot of most
Of the highly civilized portions of
mankind" the British leader told
the representative of 81 nations as
sembled at ancient Westminster
Palace.
Mr. Attlee said, Il welcome, there
fore, the decision to remit the whole
problem of control of atomic energy
to a commission of the United Ma
tions Organization"
This decision was made at the pre-
Christmas Conference of the Big
Three Foreign Ministers in Moscow
1t calls for setting up an 11-man
commission.
Reminiscent of Lincoln.
Here is an invention fraught
with immense possibilities on the
one hand of danger and on the
other of advantage to the human
race" Mr.. Attlee declared.
ut is for the peoples of the world,
through their representatives, to
make their choice between life or
death. Let us be clear as to what
is our ultimate aim.
'sIt is not just the negation of
war, but creation of world of Sc
curity and freedom, of a world
which is governed by justice and
the moral law"
In phrases strikingly reminiscent
of Abraham Lincoln'S words at Get
tysburg, the Prime Minister de-
clared:
1--WE who are gathered here to-
day in this ancient home of liberty
and order are able to meet to-
|gether because thousands of brave
men and women have suffered and
died that we may live. 1t is for us
today, bearing in mind the great
sacrifices that have been made, to
prove ourselves no less courageous
in approaching our great task, no
less patient, no less self sacrificing
I'VE must and will succeed"
Learned From Past"
Mr.. Attlee reminded the dele
gates, who seek to organize peace
machinery designed to prevent an
atom World War III, that
I'VE have learned from past mis-
takes"
"The old League of Nations suf-
fered from many disabilities, most
of all perhaps because two great
nations, the United States OF
America and the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics, were not present
in its formative stages" he said.
But, he asserted: ITO make this
organization living reality we must
enlist the support, not only of gov
ernments, but of the masses of
people throughout the world. They
must understand that we are build
ing a defense for the common
people"
The British Prime Minister raised
again the thought of the four free

CHICAGO-To dispel for all time
the untrue and malicious rumors
that have been circulated about the
permanence of Satinflo ink used in
all Reynolds Pens, Milton Reynolds
chairman of the board of the Rey-
nolds Pen Company, in Miami today
backed his confidence in his product
with $l000,00000.
The occasion for this was the
writing of check for 100000 in
the safe deposit vaults of the Mer-
camille Bank in the presence of
Mayor Herbert A. Frink, Maurice
Liberman, president of the Mercan-
tile Bank, and Ruth Byrd, Sun and
Fun Queen of Miami Beach.
AS further evidence of his conf
dence, the check was written under
water and placed in the vaults of the
Mercantile Bank.
Mr.. Reynolds announced that he
would pay 100000 to any designat-
ed charity if, at the end of one year,
the check for 100000 was not clear

agriculture and industry. The leg
islature appropriated 100000 for
its establishment.
To insure increased interest IN
livestock and dairy cattle within
the state, the legislature provid-
ed $4,000 for use in promoting
livestock and dairy shows, and
$4,000 to pay owners OF livestock
condemned because of Bangs di-
sease and tuberculosis. .
To increase the efficiency OF
agricultural research, the legis-
lature approved an expansion pro-
gram for branch experiment sta
tions, and provided for establish
ment of new stations and reacti-
vation of existing ones.
Further evidence of its inter-
est in livestock and poultry was
the action of the legislature in ap-
propriating 100000 for buildings
for livestock and poultry depart
ments at Mississippi State Col
lege.
Agricultural and Industrial
Development
The Agricultural and Industri-
al Board, created in 1914 to help
Balance Agriculture With Indus
try" in Mississippi, was given
100000 for the coming biennium,
as compared to $65,000 during
the past 2 years, with which to
carry on it's important work of
developing, promoting and ad-
vertising Mississippi's raw materi-
ais, natural resources and tourist
attractions.
Forestry
Mississippi's continued impor-
tance as a lumber producing state
was assured through a $3.50, 900
appropriation to the State Fores-
try Department, much of which
will be used to reforest idle farm
lands and cutover areas. Increased
fire protection, always a serious
threat to timber areas, is also as
| sured.
Manufacturers Tax
Aware of the increasing inter
est in Mississippi as an industri-
al state, lawmakers this session
eliminated one barrier at which

have SHE'D. By repeating the man

this group from the sales tax, the
