SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS

I've recommend that the
company grant a general wage
increase OF 1912 cents an hour.
I'm line with the customary
practice of American industry in
similar situations. we recommend
that the status quo prevailing be-
fore the strike be restored by the
reinstatement of the l945 con-
tract between the parties. which
the company cancelled on Dec. 10,
l945 taS il had a right 10 doD
3 We recommend that after
the reinstatement of the contract
and pending its expiration on
April 2S, 1916, the parties settle
by collective bargaining the re-
naming issues between them.

To the union and TO the

workers we have this Ia say:
If. As we believe is prob
able. the hours worked in 1916
will average a fraction over 40,
based on normal 40-hour
week. the amount here recon-
mcndcd would make up the en-
tire loss of earnings from re-
duCtiOn of the wartime hours
worked in 1914. IF the hours
should average close 20 Il, the
loss would be more than made
up, and overtime premium pay
would further increase the ef-
feet Of the benefit
2 If in this respect our
Judgment should prove faulty
and the hours should average
40 or less. the loss would still

up. President Truman said on

There WW have TO be a drop.
But the nation cannot afford TO

there should be drop IN this

We conclude with these gem

There is laid upon us an
obligation not TO recommend An

sciences on that score 50 far

 MEAT-Led the movement with a 30 percent rise as prices of livestock in primary markets moved up 70 percent. Supplies were large. Beef and veal rose 45 percent, pork 32 percent, lamb A percent.

 CEREALS AND BAKERY PRO- DUCTS-IncreaSed 3 percent prim- arily because of higher prices for flour, which went up 96 percent. Corn flakes were up 12.8 percent, corn meal, 146 percent.
 EGGS-Advanced seasonally by g percent.

 Commenting on Mrs. Daddona' s statement, Parnall said that under the new Blue Cross program which becomes effective Sept. l, the Plan would continue to cover the unpre- dictable special services which in- clude x-ray, anesthesia, drugs, ser ums oxygen, operating room, labor atory service, electrocardiograms, basal metabolism, dressings and casts, and physiotherapy.
 Official Blue Cross figures for the period of April, 1897 through June, 1946 showed that the 10000 Water bury cases were divided between St. Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital.
 wide figures for the same period showed that of 560,0OO Con- necticut Blue Cross members, 240,- 941 had been hospitalized and that the Plan had expended in excess of l3 million dollars for their care

Trinidad, B.WI., Aug. 9-(NEA) Wing Commander Maurice (Mon- typ Banks, late of the R. A. F., is Director of Civil Aviation for Trim idad and Tobago, and loves a good joke, even when it's on him.
 Monty's classic jibe was made in Washington after the Japanese at tackled Pearl Harbor. Hong Kong and Singapore had fallen to the Nips. Burma was overrun and India was imperiled. The British in Wash ington decided to have an Empire Day"-but of course, Monty explains, we called it Queen Victoria Day be- cause that wouldn't sound so poi sonous to American ears.
 Representatives of all the dornin- ions and colonies were to be present Mulling this over in the presence of the press, Monty suddenly burst out:
 T wonder who'll represent the Japanese"
 "Japanese?" echoed the reporters ''Yes, Japanese Monty replied They hold hawf the em-pah y'knoW!"
 Next morning the ambassador called me on the carpet" Monty re- lates. He said: I say Monty, did you say what the papers say you said?'

Reds Delay Free Press

Berlin, Aug. g - (UP) An American Military Government re- port today blamed Russia for the failure of the Big Four to imple- ment the free press provisions of the Potsdam declaration.
 The report charged that Russia's tactics of delay, strict censorship and newspaper circulation control had blocked all efforts to bring about freedom of the press in occu- pied Germany.
 It outlined nearly three months of unsuccessful negotiations with the Russians on the subject. The Russians were said to have employ ed their veto against free interzonal exchange of newspapers.
 Deputy American Military Gover- nor It Gen Lucius D. Clay told the Russians that the Americans insist ed on free exchange Of newspapers throughout Germany or not at all.
 The Russians were said to desire to keep out of their zone seVral American-lieensed Berlin papers which they have criticized repeated y as being anti-SOviet.
