agreement"
Worth Steel Co.. which en-
ployes 1,100 men at its plant in
nearby Claymont. is Delaware's

the strike the company had no

said the employe gain was there

Bethlehem.
Five major companies. led by
Bethlehem, already have agreed
to Mr.. Murray's demands for free
pensions.
Bethlehem Agreement Again.
After yesterdays session with
United States Steel, a source who
can't be identified by name said
fatty:
Its the Bethlehem agreement

Bethlehem agreed to 500
monthly pensions, including social
security, for workers aged 65
with Is years service. The agree
ment also calls for a 5-cent-an-
hour social insurance program
The employer and workers will
divide the costs.
Somewhat similar agreements
have been signed by Jones &
Laughlin Steel Corp. Republic
Steel Corp, Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube Co. and Great Lake Steel.
OF about $4,000 steel workers
who struck for free pensions, ap-
proximately 500. 900 remain on
strike.
4 More than q score Of COM
panies in basic steel-which pro-
duce raw steel-and in the

esses raw steel-have yet to sign.
However. they're expected to step
into line quickly after Big Steel
agrees.
A top executive Of one strike
bound Pittsburgh district firm
which employs around $500 made
that clear last night. Asking
that he not be identified, he de-
clared:
What else can we do? We've
got to sign to stay in business If
the big fellows sign contracts"

MIR. Connors said the union
gave us an ultimatum to accept

Mr.. Murray's office said all COM
ment on the dispute with Pitts
burgh Steel must come from local
officials at Monessen. They were
not available.
Mr.. Connors said supervisory
employees had entered the Mones-

BABY BONDS
CAN GROW

During the Second World War
the Negro people of the United
States helped creditably to lend
money to their Government in
eighth great War Loan Drives. the
last one being logically the Vic
tory Loan.
The American people learned
so well how to SAVE THEIR
MONEY not only for victory and
continued independence, but also
for the future needs of their
families (for the buying of homes,
the education of children and to
supplement social security checks
when the bread-winners must re-
tire from work because of old
age), that after the war was over
and peace again reigned, many
leaders asked the U. s. Treasury
Department to continue allowing
people and institutions TO save
their m on ey in Government
Bonds.
Since 1885 there had been Saw
ings Bonds, known as Baby
Bonds" in series A. B, C-1937 and
GIBBS, and D-1939, etc., which
for the first time in the nations
history offered the citizen of
small means the chance to invest
his money profitably in the funds
of the Government of the United
States, in Bonds of from $25 up.

The former editor of the Cath
olic publication, ''The Sign" set
up his first mission and clinic of
st. Jude in small building, and
set about the task of securing
funds to make his dreams come
true.
Within four years, he had
amassed enough money to put the
present 40-acre sites for his
"city." More money rolled in to
back the building of a social
center and clinic, and finally the
beautiful church of st. Jude. In
1945, he scraped up 100000 and
started the building of a high
school for Negroes.
Now at IS, he wants his latest
project to be one of the finest
institutions of its kind in the
country, and he has designed it
that way. The hospital VIII be
called the Catherine Mcnamara
Memorial in honor of the late Mrs.
Catherine Mcnamara of Rapid
City, S. D., whose daughter made
the first contribution. The equip
ment is to be the most modern
medical science knows about. 1t
win be operated by IS sisters of
the Holy Family of Nazareth, and
the edifice will be built in the
shape of a cross.

New Orleans Receives Gift
OF a Lifetime : An Eye
By James B. LaFourche

NEW ORLEANS = CAMP y
A 16-year-old Negro boy here will
soon be one of the happiest
mortals alive when within a few
days he will again have the use of
his left eye which he lost in an
accident several years ago. Thanks
to medical surgery and the donor.
The youth was given corneal
transplant at the Charity hospital
last Wednesday. A cornea (the
window of the eye) which was un-
clouded by disease or injury was
taken from another patient. six
year-old, and sewed into the
youths eye in place of the injured
member.
The donor, Negro boy, was
suffering from a tumor which
necessitated the removal of the
eye. The physician who performed
the operation said the youths
condition was satisfactory"
A final determination of the
operations success can not be
made for several weeks, 1t was
stated.
