Suspect scarlet fever in even
mild cases of sore throat for it is
the mild cases of scarlet fever,
showing little or no rash, which
are most apt to cause epidemics,
warns the State Board of Health.
There have been 110 cases of this
disease of childhood since the first
of January this year, as compared
to only 40 for the same period in
1916. Of the 110 cases this year,
33 were in Wilmington, SO in New
Castle County outside of Whining
ton, 81 in Sussex and 10 in Kent
County. The Board states that it
is probable that many more cases
which were not severe were never
reported, and urges that if any
scarlet fever symptoms are present
the parents should call the family
physician and let him check in or
der to protect both the health of
their own child and that of other
children.

Iiso Hanging as Hatred
Ry fhe Assoeioted Pr.s.

VATICAN CITY, April 1s.-The
Vatican newspaper Osservatore Ro-
mano said today the hanging of the
Rev. Joseph Tiso, president of the
puppet Slovak state during the war
compromises the precious posi-
bility of the pacification of spirits in
the Czecholslovakian Republic"
Whether the execution was the
just punishment Of the crime, as
one side asserts, or political ven
geance, as Is claimed by the other
one thing Is certain: An act of Glenn
ency could have solidly contributed
to spiritual union between ,Czechs
and Slovaks," the newspaper said.
"The fact that no regard what
soever was held for the priestly char
acter (of the defendant) which is
always sacred even In one found
guilty, cannot but provoke pro-
found pain in all the faithful.
ut is a sad thing Ito obserye) the
fertility OF hate, whereby one who
feels offended tends to pay back by

Steelworkers Delay Meeting
While Murray Discusses Pact
By the As.oeioted Press

A meeting of the United Steel
workers policy makers was post
poned today until tomorrow while
CIO President Philip Murray and
John Stevens, vice president of the
United States Steel Corp, con-
tinued contract discussions which
may go long way toward deter
mining whether peace or strife will
rule in the Nations steel industry
On another wage front, the CIO
United Auto Workers were study
ing an hourly pay increase equiva-
lent to Is cents, which was offered
yesterday by General Motors. Wal
ter Reuther, president of the CIO-
UAW, yesterday termed the offer
unsatisfactory, but indicated he
would have more to say in Detroit
today.
The steelworkers' postponement
OF its policy makers meeting raised
the possibility that the talks between
Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Stevens might
produce concrete wage offer or
plan for agreement on the questions
between the Nations largest basic
industry union and the steel cor
poratlon. There was no official ex-
planation Of the postponement.
Speculation on Wage Increase.
Most speculation centers around a
reported wage increase offer, amount
unspecif1ed, which the trade jour-
nal, Iron Age, said was made to the
union by United States Steel. No
confirmation of such an offer was
obtainable from tight-lipped COM
pany and union officials. The union
never has disclosed its wage de-
mands.
Possible results of current union
sessions could be: l, wage set
tlement; 2, a new contract extern
sion, or 3, strike call after April
80, expiration date of the present
pact between the union and five
major big steel subsidiaries.
With negotiations between big
steel and the steelworkers currently
at a standstill, a 23-cent- an-h hour
wage increase demand was sent by
the union to the Jones IL Laughlin
Steel Corp, fourth largest producer.
No union official would say that
figure also was presented to big
steel but it appeared much more to
the liking of the union than a Is
cents an hour increase offered and
accepted in other industries.

After Early Dip
By Victor Eubonk
Associu,sd Press finaneial Writer

NEW YORK. April 10. Stocks
rallied in the latter part of today's
market, after many leaders had hit
new lows for the past six months
or longer, with steels leading the
climb In reflection Of reports that
United. States Steel and the union
had reached an agreement.
Most early losses running to q
point or more were wiped out in the
final half hour or converted into
advances running to around s
points for fayorites. Activity broad
ened for lengthy interval but slow
downs eventuated before the close
and scattered declines persisted
Transfers for the two hours ran
to about TOO. 900 shares.
The Western Union wage agree
ment aided sentiment at the start
although the stock itself did nothing
until the rest Of the market finally
began to rise. 1t eventually added
about point. A certain amount
OF bidding was credited to the
thought that the list was due for
a technical comeback. Labor situa-
tions, despite steel and motor hopes,
remained as restraining influence
marketwise. Highlighted here was
the telephone stalemate and the
strike of Wall Street financial en-
ployes called for Monday.
In front of the late upswing were
United States Steel, Bethlehem.
Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, Cen
eral Motors, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Goodyear, Sears
Roebuck, American Telephone.

house, Kennecott, Schenley, Ameri-
can Woolens and Standard Oil of

basis. Commodities were uneven.
