BY the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, June ia Gov
ernment labor mediator today
sought to avert strike of l8,300
production workers which has been
called for midnight Sunday at nine
plants of the Aluminium Co. of

the dispute last night, said he
would ask both union and marriage
ment for an early renewal of nego-
tiations.
The negotiations between Alcoa
and the CIO United Steelworkers
broke off Saturday. The strike call
was issued yesterday.
The union is seeking fiat 13-
cent across-the-board increase. The
company has offered an 8 per cent
raise which a spokesman said would
average about 101a cents an hour.
R. c. Turner, Alcoa personnel di-
rector, said in a statement that the
international officers of the union
have so far refused 10 give en-
ployes a chance to vote on the wage

on Mr.. Turner's charge.
AS the steelworkers mapped plans
for their strike, some $500 other

BY D. T.. Democrats
By Chalmers M. Roberts

An agreement between the two
sides in the local Democratic Party
fight was a step nearer today, but
one important issue is not yet de-
cided.
The Democratic Central Com
mittee agreed yesterday to drop
four of its candidates for delegate
to the national convention in favor
of the four backed by the Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action.
But no agreement has as yet been
reached on who will be included on
the ballot for the important 22-man
Central Committee, the local party
governing body between the quad
rennial conventions. The ADA
backed group has filed for seven of
the posts while the organization
has a full 22.man slate.
Hearing Due Tomorrow.
If an agreement can be worked
out today, it will be explained to-
morrow to District Court Justice T.
Alan Goldsborough who last week
blocked the District primary election
at the ADA groups request. The
election must be held under party
rules before delegates can be certi-
fd to the Philadelphia convention,
opening July II.

chairman for ADA; Tilford Dudley
assistant national director of the
CLOS Political Action Committee:
Mrs. Ernest K. Lindley. wife of the
columnist, and Gerhard van Arkel,
former general counsel of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
Mr. Van Arkel, who originally filed
for national committeeman, was
shifted to the delegate post at yes
terdays meeting in place of Mrs.
Walter Loucheim, the original ADA
sponsored candidate. There was no
explanation from either group of
how this could be done under the
rules for filing, which required such
filing before the June II deadline.
Open Meeting Tonight.
The four organization candidates
who withdrew were Melvin D. Hill
dreth, the Districts Central Com
mittee chairman, who will 60 to
Philadelphia as the Districts ma
tional committeeman, however; Mrs.
Almira Bramhall secretary treas
urer of the committee; Frank Cahill,
many times a convention delegate,
and Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, who
also will 60 to Philadelphia as ma
tional committeeWoman. Mrs. Har-
riman this week denied she filed for
the delegate post, as Mr.. Hildreth
had announced.

any part in the local party political
scene, 1t will have to win some
places on the Central Committee

have an open meeting tonight to tell
members and the public about its
fight to win a place on the Demo-
cratic ballot The meeting will be
at pm at Barker Hall, YWCA

on the matter Of race preju-

south towards Truman for the
simple reason that he advocated

the depth Of moral degradation 20
which race prejudice can assign

The tragedy in the premise Is
not the Negroes or Truman's but
the white mans Of the south. The
voices crying for righteousness
