Decisions Lesnevich
IN NBA Title Fight
by fhs Assoeioasd Press

CINCINNATI. May 24-There's
an old maxim that Q steady drop
Of water viii wear away the
> hardest stone.
And a Maxim proved that old
maxim last night. Joey Maxim Of
Cleveland parlayed robust youth
and the drop of water-a flicking
left hand-into the NBA light
heavyweight championship Of
America.
: joey, one of the lightest hitters
In the business. used his rapier-
like left to spear a decision in is
To- rounds over 34-year-old Gus Les
Ievich Of Cliffside. N. j., who last
July 26 lost his world title to Fred
die Mills In England.
Promoter Sam Becker, Cincin-
natl clothier who puts on fight
shows as hobby, found his fun
costly bauble in this, his biggest
venture. Sam needed 100000 to
pay of-Lesnevich got $50, 1000
and Maxim $15,000-but only
6.931 fans braved the rain to pay
b gross gate of $56,151.50 and a
net Of $40. .429.08. That left Beck
er some $45, 900 In the hole.
Lesnevich went out like q
champion. He was unmarked, ex-
acept for a slight bruise beside his
left eye. He said he had no alibi
and that he lost because he
couldn't keep his face away from
Maxim's dicking left. '"'
"He never hurt me at all, and
I'd like to fight him again." Gus
said. II thought this one was
. pretty close, and that all had
to do was win the last round To
take 1t. And I certainly won the
last one"
Lesnevich wasn't kidding about
winning the 18th. for he swarmed
all over Maxim to take it by a
country mile. But he had dropped
the six right ahead Of 1t as his
34-year-old legs failed to keep
up with his fighting heart.
Maxim, also unmarked, said he
was stunned a couple Of times by
Lesnevich's winging rights In the
early rounds. but that the punches
which really hurt were lefts to
his midsection.
Becker said the fighters had
agreed to q rematch at the Gin
cinnati ball park this summer in
case Lesnevich lost. and that q
meeting on that angle would be
held today.

Lysenko, Russian Chemist,
Seeking Refuge in U. 5.
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The New
York Times says that Pavlo D.
LySenko, once a leading Russian
coal chemist and brother OF
Trofim D. Lysenko, the biologist.
has sought refuge here.
The Times said the 40-year-old
Mr.. Lysenio developed techniques
for converting low quality Goals
into standard coking Goals which
now are used throughout the
chief Soviet coal center, the DON
bas region.
However, according to the
Times, he broke with the Soviet
regime in 1912. was captured by
the Germans, later liberated in
Munich. and came to the United
States two months ago.
The Times said he told in an
interview "how the bureaucratic
maneuvers of ambitious but scien-
tif1cally incompetent Russian poll
ticians in the laboratories had
obstructed his research and finally
wrecked his career"
His brother now is in favor ir
Russia as the leading advocate o1
the Michurin theory. This theory
unlike the Mendelian theory helc
by most biologists outside Russia
holds that acquired characteristics
can be inherited.

and set off the postwar round Of
wage increases.
Since then the Scottish born Ia
Dor leader, who also heads the
CIO, has won without strikes two
other wage increases for his steel
workers-15 cents in 1947 and 13
cents in 1948. These brought the
present hourly rate of pay of
steelworkers to about $1.65.
In rejecting a fourth round of
wage increases. the board said the
cost of living has declined in the
past year and the postwar race
between rising wages and costs of
living "has been called off by the
operation Of economic forces"
Blow to Other Unions Seen.
Underscoring fears in many
quarters that a fourth round of
wage increases would set of an
inflationary spiral. the board said:
There is a strong probability
that wage-rate increase in steel
would be urged as a pattern to be
followed in other industries; this
in turn might well cause price dis
locations with adverse effects on
the general economy and the steel
industry ITSELF"
In the sense that wage negotia-
tions often follow the pattern set
in steel-as in 1946-the boards
views were regarded as q blow at

Gain in Industrial
Output for First Time
In 10Months Reported
By the Associoted Press

The Nations industrial output
is swelling upward again after 10
months steady decline, the Presi-
dents economic advisers reported
yesterday.
They said August production
jumped seven points above the
preceding month to notch the
first gain since October, 1948.
when the peak mark was reached
and the long slump began.
The Council of Economic Ad-
visers did not attempt any fore
cast of the future, but its find
ings followed on the heels of the
Census Bureaus report that en-
ployment spurted to the highest
point of the year in August while
the number of jobless fell 406,-
900 below July's record total.
These two developments were
seized upon by Government ex-
perts as indicating that the down.
ward spiral in the Nations econ
omy had been halted-provided
that the unsettled labor situa-
tion does not bring forth a series
of crippling strikes.
Drop in July Recovered.
The council gave it's estimates
in its monthly report to the Joint
Congressional Economic Commit
tee. This is the way it sized up
the production picture:
preliminary estimates indicate
that industrial production in
August fully recovered the 4 per
cent drop in July. which had been
due in part to the spreading prac-
tice of plant-Wide vacations,
especially in -durables.
It said the Federal Reserve
Boards industrial index fixed
the August mark at 169-using
the 1859 average as 100. This
compared with the July figure of
1862 and the October, 1948 mark
of 1876.
This increase. however, did not
boost the production levels to the
point they were at the same time
last year. In July, 1948, the index
was 1856. while the August, 1948,
level was 1911. From that point
the production rate zoomed to
1875 in October and November,
then began to fall off as industry
after industry cut back operations.
A significant item in the coun-
ellis report was the big increase
scored by the durable goods indus
tries The August index in this
field was set at 1874, compared with
1876 in July. The non-durable
goods industries gained at a lesser
rate, advancing from 1856 in July
to 1852 last month.
Steel Output Receivers.
The council made these other
observations:

cept concept of collective bargain
ing" and tends ito promote a
feeling of dissatisfaction and dis
harmony"
Re-examinaLiOn Urged.
The three fact finders suggested
that "the field ought to be re-
examined" to see whether the
public interest requires any
modification where varying
kinds of industry wide rather than
individual collective bargaining
have grown up"
AS for fact-finding boards un-
dermining collective bargaining
the board registered a sharp dis
sent. During the New York hear
ings, Mr.. Randall of Inland Steel
charged that the creation Of such
boards with powers to make
recommendations amounted to an
industrial revolution" which
would lead to permanent wage
fixing by the Government.
The three members said the ap-
pointment of the board was mott
vated by the interest of the Presi-
dent "in trying to avoid disas-
trous steel strike"
1--WE think" the board added
that in many ways fact finding
boards promote and supplement
rather than hinder collective bar
gaining"
Emphasizing that neither man
agement nor the union is bound
to accept its recommendations,
the board said such a procedure
provides "a cooling of" period
and an opportunity for the in
terested parties to present their
cases on their merits.

8. Output of cars and trucks

4. Production of minerals rose
three points over July but still

to the short work week in the coal
mining industry.
S. The value of new construc-
ton continued in the upgrade, ris-
ing 2la per cent above the July

than 2 per cent below the peak Of

Steel Report Likely
To Provide Peg for
Auto Contract Talks
By the Associated Press
By the Associoied Press

by The Associated PreSS
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10-Op-
timism was reported in some
quarters Of the steel industry
today over prospects the steel fact
finding boards recommendations
would avert a strike.
The first two steel companies
heard from quickly agreed to
President Truman's request for a
To-day extension of the strike
deadline-noW set to expire at
midnight Tuesday.
They are Inland Steel Co. of
Chicago and Bethlehem Steel Co.
of New York.
Ford Motor Co. and the CIO
United Auto Workers obviously
had put of for almost two months
showdown on the unions de-
mands for $100-a-month pen
sions, a company financed health
and welfare fund and fourth
postwar wage boost.
Both Ford and the UAW cau-
tiously withheld comment on the
steel panels recommendation for
no general wage increase but the
equivalent Of 10 cents an hour in
the form of pensions and insur-
ance.
UAW President Walter Reuther
was in a huddle at Pittsburgh
with CIO President Philip Murray
when the fact finders report. was
made public.
Ford Officials Silent.
Ford officials said they would re-
serve comment until they have
read the lengthy report, which
probably will not be before Mon
day. General Motors Corp. made
no comment. Chrysler Corp, the
third member of the auto indus
try "big three" reiterated its
stand that pensions cannot be
discussed under wage reopen
ing clause in its contract with
the UAW.
Although the steel report is not
binding even on the steelWorkers
or steel companies. 1t undoubtedly
will carry a lot of weight in auto
industry bargaining.
At least it will provide a peg
for discussion of economic issues.
These have been only touched on
to date in bargaining at Ford,
Chrysler, Briggs Manufacturing
Co. and other auto industry firms.
The Ford negotiations actually
have been under way since June O.
These are the ones with which the
UAW hopes to set an industry
wide pattern.
The auto union has threatened
to call a strike of 100000 Ford
production workers across the Ma
ton unless the dispute Is settled
soon.
Short of JAW Demands.
In the absence of official COM
ment, there was no indication
whether the steel recommenda-
tions would provide a basis for
a peaceful settlement at Ford's.
But these points were apparent:
/. The recommendations fell far
short Of meeting the JAWS indus
try-wide demands. rs ,~
2. The benefits that were rec
commended were the ones on which
the auto union had placed the
most emphasis. 1t had soft-ped-
aled the wage issue in favor Of
pensions and health and welfare
funds. ze.r-. #y 81.
8. The 10 cents in non-wage
benefits Is Q cents more than the
union was offered by Ford two
years ago when that company
offered the industry's first major
pension plan. At that time Ford
offered 8 cents an hour in the
form of a pension plan and 7
cents cash. The offer was turned
down in favor of the industry's
pattern settlement that year
11h cents an hour wage boost
and six Maid HOLIDAYS.
