Ching Tries 10 Bring
Steel and Union Aides
To Conference Table
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

The Governments conciliation
director. Cyrus S. Ching, hopes
to get leaders of the CIO-United
Steelworkers Union and industry
officials back at the bargaining
table today.
Mr.. Ching planned to meet
with representatives Of the Beth
lehern Steel Co. in New York. He
also planned sessions with other
major steel producing companies
and hopes to meet later with
Philip Murray, CIO-USW presi-
dent.
The biggest threat appears to
be the fabricating steel industry
the plants that use steel for
hundreds of articles. About 500.-
600 USW workers are employed
in the fabricating plants and Mr..
Murray wants free pensions and
insurance for them as we'll as for
the 454,000 men on strike.
Murray Calls Case Just.
Their contracts begin expiring
Saturday. About a dozen firms,
which employe a few thousand
workers, have signed new con-
tracts with the union, agreeing
to pay the 10-cent hourly package
recommended by the presidential
fact finding board.
Mr.. Murray, in a radio speech
last night, urged the public to
support the steel strike because
"our cause is just and righteous"
He said the steel workers cannot
and will not permit any wage cut.

contributory pensions and insur-

Columbia S Color N
Compares With Films,
Standards Expert Says
BY the Associoted Press

The Columbia Broadcasting
System yesterday produced testi-
mony from a Government color
expert that the CHS color tele-
vision system compares favorably
with colored movies.
The witness, DR.. Dean Brewster
Judd, in charge of colorimity re-
search at the National Bureau of
Standards for the last % years.
told the Federal Communications
Commission:
Color fidelity in the CHS sys-
tenn is comparable to technicolor
motion pictures.
Asserting that "this is per-
sonal judgment, not a measure
ment." DR.. Judd emphasized that
he was not a witness for the
Bureau of Standards, but had
been called by Columbia to give
his impressions of competing COL
or television demonstrations here
last week by CHS and the Radio
Corp. of America.
In response to a question by
Columbia counsel, he stated:
THE pictures I saw at the RCA
demonstration were much poorer
in color fidelity than those of
CBS."
He was asked particularly
about a less expensive RCA set
fooled to receive two colors only
and replied:
Normal color vision requires
three dimensions. If the colors
are varied in only two ways, it is
impossible to reproduce colors as
the normal eye would see them.
You see what the color blind per-
son would see.
when there was straight
black-and-white broadcast. the
reception on the RCA color re-
ceivers was still in color"
DR.. Judd, however, strongly in
dorsed color television as a me-
dium for providing more infor-
nation than is possible in a black
and-White picture"

Does that not constitute con-

Mr.. Ickes said he knew nothing
about the letters, and that since
Senator DoWney as a committee
member, was not only prosecuting
witness and prosecuting attorney

Senator Downey described Mr..

Mr.. Lewis interrupted negotia-

He declared that Gandhi's mes

He said Gandhi taught us a
technique of action which was
peaceful and yet was effective and
yielded resultS which led us not
only. to freedom but to friendship
with those with whom we were
till yesterday in conflict"
He added .
How far can that principle be
applied to wider spheres of ac-
ton? T do not know. For cir

to prevent evil have to be shaped
and set to the nature of the evil.
Yet I have no doubt that the
basic approach which lay behind
that technique to action was the
right approach to human affairs
and the only approach that ulti-

torily.
Must Resist Aggression"
"We have to achieve freedom
and to defend it. We have to meet
aggression and to resist it and the
force employed must be adequate
to the purpose.
But even when preparing to
resist aggression. the ultimate OBJ
jective, the objective of peace and
reconciliation must nevC1 be lost

be attuned to this supreme ann,
and not swayed or clouded by
hatred or fear"
Mr.. Nehru said India has
achieved political freedom but
that "our revolution is not yet
complete" because economic prog
ress is needed to give its people
"the right to live and to pursue
happiness"
Declaring that his government s
immediate task ''is to raise the
living standards of our people, -
Mr.. Nehru said he realized that
the primary responsibility is In
dia's own.
But though our economic po-
tential is great" he said, ''its con-
version into finished wealth will
need much mechanical and tech

gladly welcome such aid and CO.

In MemOriam

Mother, thou are sweetly resting,
Gone from all thy toll and pain,
Far from earth and all it's wrestling,
Thou did'st now thy crown obtain.
Mother, how we miss thee,
How thy place is vacant here:
But we always will remember,
Thou are sweetly resting there.
Thou hast surely trusted Jesus,
His commands thou hast obeyed,
And did'st hear His voice still calling,
1T is |, be not afraid"
Thou did'st love the good old Bible,
Turned its pages DER and DER,
Till the Saviour bade thee leave it,
And its promised realms explore.
Oh that call, that gentle knocking,
1t was Jesus at the door;
Thou did'st open, and He whispered,
Come now on the other shore"
Oh, dear mother, we will hearken,
To your prayerful, loving plea,
How to Jesus we should listen
Then to come and follow thee.
But we all are left so lonely
Just to think that Mothers gone;
Yet we would not, could not, call her
From her peaceful heavenly home.
Mother, soon we all will meet thee +;
Then we'll gather round the throne,
And dear Jesus e'er adore Thee,
In our bright celestial home.
In loving memory of our wife and
mother who left us March 18th,
1948. Greatly missed by Albert
Winkler and Family.

Hormone Spray Reodied in Case
Cherry Trees Bloom Too Soon
Parks Experts Hope
For Cool Nights to
Returd Blossoms

The unfolding buds on the
japanese Cherry blossom trees
around the Tidal Basin were
yielding slowly to the warm
Establishments of spring today,
despite the fact that the tempera-
ture dropped to 33 degrees at $50
this morning.
The Weather Bureaus forecast
called for sunshine most of today
with a maximum temperature in
the low Cos. A low of about A
was predicted for tonight, and
tomorrow is expected to be cloudy
and mild with probable showers.
Blossom experts of the National
Capital Parks Office who fear the
trees may bloom late this week
are standing by with supplies of
hormones to spray on them if
they do blossom prematurely.
Meanwhile, they are hoping for
continued cool nights to retard
the buds.
The drop to near-freezing this
Evening star., 1949-03-21

morning caused the buds to
tighten up and Offset the advances
they made in yesterdays sunshine.
The buds will be coaxed into
opening wider today and about
two days of real warm weather
would cause the trees to bloom, it
was said. The experts are fearful
of days such as Washington had
a year ago today when the mer-
curry scared to 86 degrees. A year
ago yesterday the temperature
was 81 degrees.
It is hoped that the hormones
sprayed on the blossoms will per-
suede them to remain on the trees
until the Cherry Blossom festival
is held April l. 2 and 8. Usually
the blossoms began falling about
five days after they come into full
bloom.
Thousands attracted to the
parks by the crisp sunshine that
heralded the arrival of spring
yesterday examined the budding
trees and speculated on the date
they would bloom. Spring Off
cially arrived at $40 pm.
Despite the fact that the bios
SONS may come out before the
festival, those in charge Of the
affair are going ahead with their
plans.
It was announced today that
the orchestra of Charlie Spivak
will play for the Cherry Blossom
ball at the National Guard Ar
mory April /.
Edward r. Carr, chairman of
the ball, also announced that
Irene Daye. blond vocalist. will
