Bridges Resolution
Seeks 10 Curb Visits
By Russians 10 i. ).
BY the Alsoeiaied Press

Senator Bridges, Republican, oi
New Hampshire proposed yesterday
that the United States limit visits by
Russians to the number Of Ameri-
cans the Soviets are willing to re-
ceive.
Introducing legislation to that
end, Senator Bridges said this coun-
try should give Russian citizens "the
same treatment . -" as Soviet Rus
sia permits us behind the iron cur
tain"
In a statement, Senator Bridges
added that 'the gross inequality" of
access to information and freedom
of travel between the two countries
was "forcibly brought to my atten-
tion" when Moscow refused to issue
visas last summer for a Senate COM
mittee to visit Russia.
Group Refused Visas.
The Appropriations Committee,
which Senator Bridges heads, sought
permission to inspect the United
States Embassy at Moscow, but the
Soviet turned down request for
travel visas.
II believe 1t Is time we became
realistic in our diplomatic ex-
changes, particularly in our relations
with the Union Of Soviet Socialist
Republics" Senator Bridges said.
"In these days when the unspeak-
able horrors of atomic and bacterio-
logical capsule warfare have become
a scientific actuality, we cannot af-
ford, in the exercise of wishful
thinking, to become what many
people in this country describe for
lack of a more appropriately de-
scriptive word as an easy touch
This Is vital when the matter
seriously affects our national Sc
curity."
Sees Policy as Sound.
The New Hampshire Senator said
he believes it Is sound policy, and
the wish of the majority of Amer
leans, that this country permit the
entry of only the same number OF
Russians, including newspapermen
as Russia permits us.
His resolution would require &C.
ton by the Secretary Of State
within 80 days after its approval
by both houses of Congress, to can
eel visas now outstanding to the
extent that they exceed the number
issued to Americans by Moscow.
1t would extend the same treat
ment to any other country which
the President determined is con-
trolled or dominated by Russia.

and fertilizer companies.

Members Enjoys
Annual Picnic

Cambridge, Ohio-Another pic
mic is history and a lot of people
in Cambridge have fond memories
of a good time at Idora Park. A
goodly number from No. 1872 made
the trip and though they returned
home late and tired, they told
happy stories of an enjoyable day
among old friends.
There was quite a discussion
last meeting concerning payment
of overtime for Saturday following
Decoration day. This was later
settled satisfactorily on pay day.
This is another example of collec-
tive bargaining and unionization.
Sometimes one must almost feel
pity for some of our sO-called law
makers who would take our rights
and benefits of unions from us.
Their stupidity is amazing.
Universal's new plant is rapidly
progressing now that we are hav-
ing nice weather. The steel frame
work is almost complete.
Work on the new ball field at the
city park is progressing. Although
the plant does not have a team in

will spend enjoyable evenings and
holidays roofing for their favorite
at the park.-O. C. 122

Pact Calls For
73c Wage Boost

San Francisco UPA) = The
AFL's metal trades unions and the
Machinists, all along the west
coast, are voting on the question
of ratifying a new master agree
ment" negotiated with Pacific
Coast shipbuilders and covering
close to 10000 employees.
The pact, reached at conferences
in Salt Lake City between repre-
sentatives of the unions and man.
agements, provides for approx
mately 13 to 15c-an-hour increases
for workers engaged in new ship
construction, and IL to 13c for
those doing ship repair.
The smaller increase for the lat
ter classification was accounted for
by the fact that the basic rate in
ship repair is 1867 higher than
on new construction.
In addition, both sides reached
an agreement on fringe issues, in
Guiding longer paid vacations,
which will add up to substantially
more in monetary value.
The pact ended a long stalemate
and threats of strike caused by
government wage controls which
continued in the shipbuilding in
dustry long after they had been
lifted in other industries. Over a
month ago, these controls were re-
moved, and the government pull
ed out of the picture, leaving the
parties free to settle their differ
ences by direct collective bargain
ing.
President John P. Frey of the
Metal Trades Department-AFL
hailed the result as evidence that
where genuine voluntary collec-
tive bargaining is carried on, labor
and management can reach mutual
Iy satisfactory agreements without
a strike or lockout"
