The rule applied to U.S. Steel, to Bethlehem Steel
and all the other corporations that have adopted this plan

type of approach to the Toledo AREA plan? This
will have to be done later Obviously this prob
lem will be settled through full-page advertise
ments in The Blade and The Times
AS in the steel strike, this problem will be resolved
only around the bargaining tableeven if it has to
after costly strikes unnecessary strikes in the steel
industry
TN VIEW OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, we wish to
Amake the following suggestions to those officers and
members of this Salvation Committee" who are en-
ployers of labor in this area:
l. The UAW-CIO is ready and willing to start imme-
date negotiations with each of you individually and sepa
ratey for financed pensions and social security
benefits
q If you feel that individually you are unable to
meet the requirements of such program, we pre-
pared to meet with you group to solve this problem
g. Finally, willing to sit down with
your Salvation Committee whole effecuate this
program.
Naturally in such conferences shall have
experts guide deliberations Of course you
invited to bring your experts for the purpose
Since you have declared yourselves time and again
favor of pensions and social security benefits for your
workers. you should find it too difficult to accept
these proposals.
And to show you--and the people of Toledo-that
we have nothing to hide that do not desire to
wreck Toledo willing to hold these conferences
publicly where all may see what trying to accom-
plish through our program
What do you say, gentlemen? Shall we get down to
business?

Let's Get Down To Business Gentlemen

NOW THAT THE STEEL STRIKE is settled and half
million workers have returned to work under new
agreements calling for pensions of $100

UAWCIO, are negotiating for these benefits SINH

Letter to Editor
LEST WE FORGET

Easter Sunday has passed, new
clothes have been worn, and all
other displays of Easter are now
removed-but lest we forget not
the true meaning of Easter. With
the whole world in an uproar,
the manifestation of the true
meaning of Easter is our only
hope for a successful tomorrow.
Christ is real and lives today
and to bring peace among men
and nations, he must live always
in our souls.
Baseball season will take away
some of the real life of peace we
usually enjoy on Sunday, for as
much as I like baseball, [ can't
help but feel that the same energy
being exerted toward winning the
game, could as we'll be directed
toward bringing more and lasting
peace among men. There has new
er been but one race-the human
race-and we must learn to re-
spect each other as men of one
our efforts as one.
China today, is an example of
brothers fighting among them
selves for a peace that a never
be obtained as long as there is
any semblance of a split. Our
situation is comparatively similar

Larry Doby's home-run smash
in the fifth with two runs on
and Joe Gordon's circuit blow in
the third was the undoing of the
st. Louis Browns in their final
game of the three game series
in Sportsman Park. The World
champions won by the score of
80. Steve Gromek was in rare
form as he let the Browns down
with 2 hits. Both were homers,
one by Jack Graham and the other
by Dick Kokos. Doby's drive
caused Paul Lehner to retire af-
ter attempting to catch Doby's
drive that sent the Brown outfiel-
der crashing against the center
field flag pole.

house has provided for a 14-man

names have been filed as addi-

Somewhat of a surprise was
the compromise bill ip the SEN

points price issue. The compro-
mise, authored by Sen. Joseph
c. O'Mahoney, of Wyoming
would permit use of delivered
pricing methods, provided that
conspiracies and substantial in

The measure had been expect
ed to provoke long debate, but
for some reason those proponents
who were attempting to circum,
