Contract Agreement
Ends Threat Of Strike
|At Oak Ridge Plant
By the Associo.ed Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE
labor dispute which had threatened
to tie up production at one of the
Governments largest atomic energy
plants was settled early today when
the Carbine g. Carbon Chemicals
Corp. and a CIO union agreed on a
new contract.
The company and officials OF the
United Gas, Coke and Chemical
Workers Union reached agreement
in two marathon negotiations meet
ings held Immediately after plans
for the first strike in the history of
an atomic energy plant were shelved
Monday by the union lat the urgent
request of the Government.
Under the new 18-month contract,
5000 porduction workers at the giant
gaseous diffusion atomic process
plant receive 10-cent-an-hour
across the board" wage increase and
other concessions. .
Through a month-long dispute
the union had held out for a 25-
cent-an-hour blanket wage increase.
In announcing the agreement, the
Atomic Energy Commission, which
has taken a hands-off attitude in
the dispute, said it came through
the give-and-take of negotiations.
There was no resort to action which
would interrupt production at the
plant so vital to the national
security"
The new contract also contains a
wage reopening option that can be
exercised in eight months, and pro-
vides for additional increases for
more than 30 per cent of the hourly
employees where wage inequities
were claimed to exist under the old
pay schedule
Shift differentials Of 10 cents an
hour on the second shift and Is
cents an hour on the third shift
also were agreed upon. Negotiators
previously had resolved about 30
other points at issue.
A general meeting of members of
Local 288 Of the CIO union has been
called for tonight for ratification
of the agreement, Clyde L. Terry,
president, said.

Settling of Some Issues
Outside u. N. Urqed by Lie

NEW YORK, Dec. IL (P.-Trygve
Lie, secretary general of the United
Nations, said last night that the
great powers must reach an under
standing and some differences must
be settled outside the United Ma
tions if the international organiza-
ton is to function properly. .-,
Mr.. Lie spoke at the seventh an
nual dinner of the American Nobel
Anniversary Committee. is..iis
Observing that many differences
exist among the nations of the
world, Mr.. Lie said: "In many cases
it is up to the nations to settle
those differences and troubles out
side the United Nations. That is
true in the case of the peace treaties.
It is also true OF many domestic
disturbances which now serve to
prevent the world from settling
down to fairly normal existence.
Where the necessary number of
nations decides to do so, the United
Nations itself can step in from time
to time to settle international dis
turbances or to correct situations
which may lead to a threat to the
peace" Mr.. Lie continued.

U. n. Shelves Plans
To Establish Cairo
Information Office
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 1.-THE
United Nations has shelved plans
to establish an information Office in
Cairo, scene Of demonstrations
against the U. N. decision to parti-
ton Palestine.
A high official said the U. N. was
completing arrangements to open
offices in Moscow January IS for
the dissemination Of U. N. public
intelligence and measurement of its
reaction on the Russian people.
Appropriations for both centers
have cleared, but no action now is
being taken to start operations in
the Egyptian capital.
Move Now Seen Unwise.
Benjamin Cohen, assistant secre-
tary general in charge of informa-
ton, refused comment, but other
sources expressed the view that it
would be unwiSe to make move in
Cairo now because of the tense sit
uation in the Middle East over par
tition. Demonstrators already have
converged on Western embassies in
the Moslem world and u. n. Office
in any Arab country might become
a target for mass rallies, these
sources said.
One suggested way to place a
center. in the Africa Middle East
region would be through utilization
of the press-information staff which
will be sent into Palestine with the
partition commission. The duties of
the press officer eventually will in
clude propagandizing for the U. N.
and it is possible that the projected
international city of Jerusalem
might be selected for an informa,
ton center. Any decision on this
would lie we'll in the future, how
ever, one authority said.
The Moscow Office will be under
the supervision of Soviet national
employed by the U. N, but the full
extent of Soviet control over the
project still was not clearly defined.
For one thing, an official said, the
Kremlin would rule on visas for
any of the five assistants who even-
tually Will be assigned to the dlrec-
tor, opening the possibility Of an
all-Russian staff
Center Functions in Prague.
Information centers already are
functioning in Prague, Warsaw,
London, Paris, Copenhagen, Geneva,
New Delhi, Shanghai, Mexico City,
Rio de Janeiro and Washington.
Nationals of foreign countries serve
on most of those staffs. However,
in Prague and Warsaw the respec-
tive directors, both nationals, still
have no assistants.
The centers serve a dual purpose.
They hand out U. N. documents
and intelligence, arrange for pro-
U. N. speakers and encourage pub
lication and discussion of U. N.
material. They also report back to
Lake Success on reaction as re-
f1ected through the press and radio.

Klock's cartoons, ba:ed on

pictorial persuasion to the prop

good Hardin citizens by trading

The pitfalls of doing business

Klock. It's amusing, and it may
prove to be instructive too,
when Paw finds out that the

whereupon he quit trading his
masterpieces for hamburgerS
and set out Ito earn some real
dough-"
He studied cartooning at the
Chicago Academy of Fine Arts
which turned out such top
notchers as Walt Disney, Frank
Kink, Shoemaker, etc.
After receiving this training
he Knocked about the country
a few years gathering material.
He soon was selling to maya
zines and newspapers as a free
lancer. He settled down in Du-
luth for a while as cartoonist
for the Duluth Herald.
Shortly after his marriage in
1888, he went to Denver and
took a position with the Den

Klock describes the origin of
his new cartoon thus:
The idea behind Amt 1t
the Truth-telling people to do
their shopping at home-came
to me several years ago. I dis
covered many people were
Jhasing into the big towns,
sometimes more than a hun
| dred miles distant, to do their
shopping.
How foolish this is consid-
ering that people can get the
same things at home from their
own neighbor merchants and as
often as not for less or the
same price paid in the big
town.
Il know what I'm talking
about because I've lived in both
large and small towns.
80, with this idea in mind,
I figured I'd try to put over
an educational campaign in a
humorous cartoon. The title,
Amt It the Truth was
dreamed up next. Then I went
to work on the cartoon. So far,
hey tell me, newspaperme1
and the readers like it. I hope
it continues to click for years
to come"

Vanishing Good Earth

More than half this nations farme
lands have been seriously damaged by
soil erosion and unless this country
goes all out for land conservation.
the United States may wind up Sec
ond rate power.
This dire prediction was made by
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson at the annual save-the-Soll
clinic in Oklahoma City. He pointed
out that China, Babylon, Greece and
Rome once were great powers but soil
erosion had caused their downfall.
The secretary said erosion Is cost-
ing America close to four billion dol
lars each year.
Anderson said 282,OOO,OOO acres OF
crop and grazing land either had been
ruined or badly damaged. Another
775,OOO,0OO acres, he said, show scars
of considerable erosion.
"On the asset side, we can list only
46OOOO,OOO acres of good cropland re-
manning in the u. S." said Anderson,
land most of this cannot be culti~
waited safely without conservation
farming practices"
