Natural Causes Ruled
In Deuth of Stock Clerk

Roy o. Smith, At, Treasury De-
partment stock clerk who was found
dead in his bed with wound In
his back early on July 2 after a
drinking party. died Of natural
causes resulting from heart con-
ditior and alcoholism, Coroner A
MagruGer Macdonald announced to-
day.
The decision eliminates an orig
inal belief that Smith may have
been stabbed in fight at his apart
ment, 325 E street NV. Police con-
jectured that Smith probably cut
himself in fall on some broken
glass found in the apartment after
the party. The finding closes the
case, in which a man and woman
who had been with Smith the night
before-were questioned closely by
police. Smith apparently went OH
to bed after suffering the slight in
jury and died in his sleep, the
coroner said.

Murray Says Steel Contract
Supersedes Any Labor Act
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, July 16.-Philip
Murray, president of the CIO and
the United Steelworkers, says the
unions two-year pact with the
United States Steel Corp. is a
sacred commitment" that super
sedes any congressional enactment
which has for it's purpose the nulli-
fication of any provision of our joint
contract"
Mr.. Murray told a meeting Of cor
poration and union officials yester-
day that the Taft-Hartley labor law
has placed grave responsibilities on
company and union leaders.
Il take it that If either of the
parties seek to enforce any new doc
trine or philosophy they will,
in the end, vitiate or set aside part
of the collective bargaining contract
now outstanding and this agreement
for all practical purposes will then
be abrogated," Mr.. Murray said.
The unions contract with United
States Steel was signed last April
for 176. 600 workers.

World Bank Bonds
Are Still at Premium
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July Is. - Active
trading in the new bonds of the
International Bank for Reconstruc-
ton and Development. heavily over
subscribed on their offering yester-
day, continued at premium prices
today.
On the Stock Exchange, where
dealings were conducted on when
issued basis, the IS of 1872 opened
today on a block of $120,00O par
value at 102 1882, down 1882 from
yesterdays close, while the 2As
of 1857 were up 2/32 at 101 1892
on the first transfer.
Prices in over-the- counter trad
ing, where the heaviest volume was
reported, were close to those on the
exchange although the bid-and-
asked spread was larger.
Financial circles pointed out that
with confirmation sent by the World
Bank last night to about 1900 sub
scribing dealers, the supply Of the
bonds in the secondary market has
been augmented and that lively
trading was expected to continue
for few days.
Influences of big institutional in
vestors has not yet been fully felt,
these sources said, since many OF
them have not determined the
amount of the bonds they plan to
hold and the price they regarded as
proper for their purchases. Because
of the wide distribution Of the issue,
it was reported some institutional
investors yesterday were able to buy
more of the bonds from small dealers
than from the big securities houses
with which they usually deal.
Actual delivery Of the bonds has
been set tentatively for July %.
Sale of the securities will provide
the bank with funds for lending
operations among its A member
nations.
