The three proposed branch Ii

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The French

and a series of industrial pro-
ducts.
Cabinet Meets with Auriol.
In its longest session of the
week, the cabinet met with Presi-
dent Vincent Auriol to discuss left
wing demands for salary increases
to compensate for the expected
increase in living costs resulting
from devaluation of the franc.
The demands had created a near
crisis which threatened to force

On the domestic side. the agree
ment also restored procedures for
conciliation and arbitration of
labor disputes. These and the
rights of collective bargaining had
been suspended for 10 years since
the beginning of the war.
The government set forth a
five-point plan:
/. Price reductions.
2. Continued credit restrictions

Ching Plans TO Confer
With Steel Disputants
Separately This Week
Seizure Of Plants Seems
Certain if Governments
Peace Efforts Fail
By james Y. Newton

The Government planned no
action over the week end in the
steel strike, but may call top COM
pany officials and the C1O United
Steelworkers here early this week
in another effort to settle the long
dispute over pensions and social
insurance.
Cyrus S. Ching, Federal media
ton chief. plans to invite a few
of the steel executives to meet
with him, probably on Tuesday
Union officials will be called later
in the week. It will be determined
from the separate talks whether
it would be useful so early in the
strike to suggest resumption OF
contract negotiations between the
parties.
The Government. however, was
far from optimistic that the strike
of more than half a million work
ers can be settled easily or soon
The parties, it was pointed out
are much farther apart now than
they were before the walkou1
when the only difference between
them was the form of the pen
sion and insurance plans-whethel
they should be entirely company
financed or the workers should
kick in a share.
May Resort to Seizure.
If it becomes necessary for the
Government to take drastic ac-
ton to end the strickland it looks
now like it will have to-officials
are planning to use seizure powers
provided in the Selective Service
Act rather than the national
emergency machinery of the Taft
Hartley Act.
The draft law empowers the
Government to take over and op-
crate plants or mines where
strike interferes with the busi-
ness of supplying the armed forces
with the things they need. Steel,
of course. is vital to defense. That
seizure power has never been used.
Officials said that because it could
be used there would have to be a
specific case where the armed
forces were unable to get an order
because of the steel strike. 1t
might take some time for such a
case to develop.
Taft-Hartley strike-ending pro-
cedures are time-consuming also.
Before a Federal Court injunction
to halt a strike can be obtained,
the President first must appoint
a act-finding board to investi-
gate the dispute, and report on
it to him.
The steel dispute already has
been studied by a fact-flnding
board appointed by Mr.. Truman.
But it was a different type from
the Taft-Hartley boards which
are not empowered to make
recommendations for settlement of
a dispute.
It was the work of the steel
board plus two appeals for truce
by the President, that delayed
the steel strike two and a half
months. The board ruled out a
wage increase for the steelworkers
and suggested that the industry

That blow, off Joe Dobson,

Kinder will take the mound

The game started badly for the
Yankees and gloom like a
dreary drizzie hung over triple
terraced New IorF fans at the end
of the third inning. BY that time
the Red Sox had accumulated
four runs largely as the result of
poor pitching by Allie Reynolds
and Joe Page, who quickly mended
his ways and ultimately notched
his 18th triumph.

Page started miserably. He re-

Actual Speed Now Rated
At 700 M.P.H., But May
Exceed 1000 in Tests
By the Associated Press

In it's early flight test phase. q
jet-rocket powered Navy re-
search plane, the Douglas Sky
rocket, has topped the speed Of
sound in a power glide. it was
learned yesterday.
The actual speed of the swept
wing ship was reported to be
slightly over TOO miles an hour.
The Air Force XII. another ex-
perimental plane powered only by
rocket motors, has approached
1000 miles an hour for very short
periods. 1t is the first in a series
of research planes in the Air
Force super-sonic test program.
Much faster performances will be
sought.
The Navy's Skyrocket is still
undergoing tests. Persons familiar
with its development said it is
hoped to exceed 1000 miles an
hour in the next phase Of its flight
tests.
Plane is Joint Product.
Under the altitude and tenn
perature conditions at which the
Skyrocket's reported fastest first
stage fight was made. the velocity
attained was approximately one
and 3/100ths times the speed OF
sound. Sonic speed normally is
761 miles an hour in air at 50 de-
grees, but sound slows up as the
temperature goes down so that in
the upper air it is as low as $50
miles an hour.
The Skyrocket, officially known
as the D-558-2, is the joint prod
uct of the Navy Bureau of Aero
nautics, the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics and
Douglas Aircraft Co. 1t has a
turbo-jet engine. as we'll as four
rocket motors. The latter are SIM
liar to those in the Air Force XII.
The XII was a joint product OF
the Air Force. the NACA and Bell
Aircraft Co.
Takes Off on Jet Engine.
The Skyrocket is a successor to
the D-558 Skystreak. another re-
search plane, which held the world
speed record at $50 miles an hour
before a fully armed Air Force jet
fighter, the F-86 Sabre, took it at
.670 m.p.h.
Two Skyrockets have been built,
but only one has rocket engines
in it thus far.
The Skyrocket is able to take
off from the runway at the Muroc,
(CalifD Airbase, the nations chief
center for experimental flight
testing, and climb by using its jet
engine. The XII is dropped from
the belly of a B-29 since it has
only rocket power which is used
up in two or three minutes at
full power.
The fact that the Skyrocket
achieved supersonic speed in a
glide is unusual, since ultrahigh
test flying usually is done in a
climb for safety. In a glide or
dive the gravity pull is added
to the power and the pilot might
