Merchants Cheered
'ByLate Upsurge
In Easter Trade
By ths Associo,sd pr..s

NEW YORK, Mar. 26.-An up-
surge in Easter trade throughout
the Nation this week gave retail
merchants some hope today that the
years slow buying pace is quicken
ing.
Consumers reaction to goods and
prices is the key to the future, and
Easter trade is a traditional barom-
eter. Dollar volume is higher. unit
volume is lower. Main question for
the merchant is how low can unit
sales go before dollar volume and
profits suffer?
The buyer has the answer. Start
ing last Saturday the public began
It's belated Easter purchases with a
rush. There are indications from
most sections of the country that
the high level continued well into
the week.
Dun & Bradstreet reported dollar
volume was slightly above that of a
year ago while unit volume was
slightly lower. People paid more
money for less goods. Favorable
weather was given credit for In
creased volume.
After Easter it Is customary for
merchants to offer special merchan-
disc stressing better values. They
are planning to bring the public into
their stores in steadily increasing
numbers through April.
Effect Of Shoe Cuts Watched.
Trade attention still was focused
on shoes for an indication of pub
lie reaction to lower prices. During
the week International Shoe Co. the
largest producer, cut prices S to so
cents pair on untitled orders for
spring delivery. Fall prices have
not been announced. Some other
large manufacturers previously low
cred prices. Cuts have not been
substantial.
Trade sources gave a mixed in
depreciation. Some said the present
shoe trend will bring lower post
Easter retail prices and special
sales. Others said the small reduc-
ton by International gave notice
that large widespread cuts would
not be made.
Apparel Sales Climb.
Dun & Bradstreet's review noted
"a sharp increase in demand for
apparel this week" with medium
priced lines getting most attention.
Many shoppers continued to shun
expensive apparel and low-quality
goods"
In wholesaling, the review said:
While there was the usual pre-
Easter dip in new order volume
IN the week ended Wednesday. nu-
merous recorders were placed. Total
volume was close to the high level
OF year ago, but declined mod
erately from that Of the previous
week. The number OF buyers regis
tered in principal markets dropped
considerably this week.

Curb Exchange Strike
Settled on Basis Of
Pay Raise and Bonus
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 16.-A
strike against the New York
Curb Exchange was settled to-
day with a 10 per cent pay in
crease and bonus agreement.
There was no provision for the
union shop demanded by the AFL
United Financial Employees when
the walkout began March %.
The settlement did not include
employees of the New York Stock
Exchange, whose strike continued in
full force.
Picket lines before the Curb Ex-
change Building, just two blocks
from Wall Street, faded after an
nouncement the curb's governors
had ratified an agreement. The
union had approved it yesterday.
AS trading opened at 10 am. many
of the 200 employees who had been
away from their jobs for 10 days
began to return to their usual posts.
Terms of the agreement were an
nounced by Walter A. Maggiolo,
head of three-man Federal medi-
alton panel.
They provided straight wage
increase of 10 per cent, plus bonus
arrangement based on the volume
of trading. The Curb management
had offered 10 per cent cost-of-
living bonus to extend for one year.
The contract, which runs for two
years, includes maintenance OF
membership and dues check-of1
clauses similar to those previously
in effect.
Stock Exchange officials and
union leaders arranged to meet with
the mediators this afternoon.
The union says $50 Stock Ex-
change employees are continuing the
strike there, where picket lines are
reinforced by members of two AFL
seamen's unions. Exchange officials
place the number at 730.

settlement are said by the union to
have been getting from S27 to $102
weekly. The wage demand made at
the start of the strike was for a SO
increase for those receiving up to
$40 weekly and SIS for the others.
The Curb said this was equivalent
to II per cent wage increase.
M. David Keefe, president of the
union, said that I'VE intend to con-
tinue to fight for" the union shop.

Italian Reds Scurry
To Regain Support as
Campaign Nears End
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, April 16-Italy entered
the final'hours of crucial par
liamentary election campaign
today with Communists scram-
bling to regain lost support.
Campaigning ends at midnight
and voting starts Sunday morn
ing at 8 o'clock.
Interior Minister Mario Scelba,s
security forces were watchful lest
as constantly rumored-last-minute
Communist moves materialize-
especially in the leftist north. Police
made displays of strength in several
sections to demonstrate they are
ready to keep order.
Violence dotted the country last
night as traditionally volatile Ital-
ian tempers flared.
Campaign Ends Tonight.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi. who
has worked tirelessly against the
Communists and for his Christian
Democrats will end his long cam
paign tonight with a speech at
Naples. Communist Chief Palmiro
Togliatti, whose audiences have
dWindled recently. also takes last
crack at the Christian Democrats
and American aid-tonight.
Togliattis drumming against the
Marshall Plan as a program to
enslave Italy has lost its early beat
and the Communists have slowly
and surely lost ground. Last night
Toglatti failed to hold full attention
of a crowd of $4,000 in Naples. Many
left before he was through talking.
Gn Washington, the State De-
partment is sure the Communists
are beaten. Officials who have
followed the campaign said last
night that Russia's rejection Of
the Western proposal to return
Trieste to Italy killed the last
faint hope the Communists had.
That, plus Western power spon-
sorship of Italy for membership
in the United Nations, were
looked on as clinchers against
the Leftists. Some think the
Communists won't get more than
30 to IS per cent of the vote;
possibly less)
Hundreds of Ships Arrive.
Togliatti and his party have found
It harder and harder to convince
the Italians they should be against
American aid in the face of hun
dreds Of American ships arriving
with goods. And the passage of the
$5,300000,000 European Recovery
bill by the United States Congress
was considered by many as body
blow to the Communists.
Premier de GaSperi, with the
proof of the pudding before many
hungry italians, has contended Italy
needs American aid for economic
survival. He has plugged away at
the Communists, and last night ac-
cused them of trying to make Italy
another Greece.
do you want Italy to be another
Greece?" he cried to a crowd in
Sicily. DO you want this to be
your last election?"
Last night in Romes Tiburtino
Square the Communists battled
Italy's Fascist minded National
italian Socialists (MSD. Hunks of
concrete were thrown. Six persons
were injured and the MSI was
routed.

Grand Slam Homer
By Joe ReichIer

Tommy Heinrich, Mr.. Old Relia-
BILE" of the New York Yankees, has
earned space in the little red book
.of baseball by smashing his fourth
grand slam home run of the season.
Only five other Players have hit
four bases-loaded wallops during one

victory. The recruit from Newark,
his third big league start
would have had snutout but for
Sherry Robertson's home run IN the
eighth :
Despite the triumph, the Yankees
remained in fourth place, five full
games back of the league-feading
Cleveland Indians. Cleveland de-
feated the Browns, 80, in Cleveland
Lefty Gene Bearden pitched the
Indians to their sixth straight
triumph, holding the Browns hitless
until the fifth inning and allowing
only four hits the rest of the way.
The Indians blasted starter Bill
Kennedy, a former Indian, from the
mound with six runs in the fifth.
