 MAKING
 APPEAL

CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-tR-With the steel strike settled in plants of Bethlehem Steel Co.,, CIO Pre- sident Philip Murray today invited the rest of the industry to "come along" with the same kind of set clement.
 Murray spoke from the platform of the CLOS National Convention in Public Hall. As he talked, Beth lehem mills employing 80,000 work CTS were firing up for resumption of operations.
 Murray reported the settlement, reached last night, in talk to CIO delegates. Calling the month old steel walkout the most magni- ficent strike in the history of la bor," he said:
 T use this platform to invite the recalcitrant steel companies to come alnog now and negotiate a Bethlehem agreement with us. It now is the duty of the balance of the industry to settle"
 Delegates gave him standing ovation. Immediately they adopted without dissent a resolution. pre- pared before the convention start ed yesterday, giving the CLOS support to the entire steel strike.

Workers Will Share Acei. dent Insurance u. 5.
 Twill Look If Over

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1---tR-A welfare plan agreement that sends 8o,0o0 striking CIO Steel Workers Lack to their jobs with Bethlehem Steel Corp. today buoyed govern ment hopes for a quick end to both the steel and coal strikes.
 Officials said they expect other steel firms to follow in the foot steps of Bethlehem, the nations second largest steel producer, which signed an agreement last night to end tEe strike so far as this com rany was concerned
 The government officials said that now that break has come in the steel strike, definite peace moves may te expected in coal because of the close relations of the two sasic industries.
 Bethlehem signed up in Cleve- and last night with Philip Murray, President of the CIO and the striking steelworkers.
 We broke the line" Murray exulted. From here on we move with a firmness of purpose and a determination that victory will at tend our efforts"
 The precedent-making contract gives Bethlehem workers employer paid pensions starting at $l00 a month, including the benefits they get from the governments Social security System.
 It also calls for a death, sick aess, accident and hospital cost in 3urance plan worth five cents an
 our per worker, with employer and worker equally sharing costs.
 Bethlehem has maintained a company financed $50- month pension plan for some years, as well as wholly worker financed insurance system costing employees about 1A cents an hour.
 The settlement came on the Steel strikes 31st day and the coal walk outs 43rd.
 Murray and Bethlehem officials worked out final details and signed the agreement at three-hour conference between sessions of Mur- rays CIO convention at Cleve- and
 The reaction was swift. Govern ment Mediation Chief Cyrus S.. Ching said he trusted this settle ment will lead to industrial peace in the steel industry generally, al a very early date.'
 US. Steel Corp, the biggest steel producer, which has been holding out for workers paying part or pension costs, invited peace taEs with Murray's union. US. Steels President, Benjamin F. Hairless, said "of course we will study the Bethlehem settlement"

LEWIS I5
 CALLING
 MEETING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1--R-John L. Lewis today called miners union policy committee meeting for next Monday in Chicago to consider coal strike developments.
 The United Mine Workers chief said the meeting will consider all aspects of the forty-three-day coal strike situation.
 The Chicago location of the meet ing was considered significant. There have been recurring rumors of possible early settlement with Illinois coal producers.
 Several prominent Illinois opera tors have been reported impatient for a settlement.
 Negotiations for new coal con- tract have been going on for six months without a hint of any break.
 A settlement with the Illinois segment of the industry would set up in coal a situation similar to the one in steel where Bethlehem, the second biggest producer, has agreed with the steelworkers.

 Employees Flee

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1---tR--Fire. accompanied by a rumbling series of explosions, caused heavy dam age to the S1l 100000 Postoffice Department building today and sent hundreds of government employees fleeing to the streets.
 The tlaze was confined to the eighth floor. But before firemen brought it under control, they poured tons of water into the columned, limestone structure on Pennsylvania Avenue between 12th and 18th Streets, Northwest.

 At least three persons were in jured, either by flying glass from the explosions, or when a section oi the seventh floor ceiling fell in.
 Two were employees of the Fed eral communications Commission They were Richard Jamison and D. c. Corrigan. Both suffered head injuries.

 GAS SHIELD
Oxygen Layer Transforms Deadly Ultra Violet
 Rays Above Earth

LOS ANGELES, Nov 1.-R- Life and death on this planet may hang by so nebulous a thread as an invisible ray of light.
 Two separate announcements yesterday, one by the California Institute of Technology, the other by the University of California at Los Angeles, brought this grim specter into the realm of scientif- ic speculation:
 Sixty miles above the earch ex- ists a heretofore unknown layer Of oxygen molecules which myster- iously change the wave lengths of the suns deadly ultra violet rays to infra-red rays. This was an- nounced by pr. Joseph Kaplan, UCLA professor of physics.
 If some sudden piercing of the earth's atmospheric shield-per- haps by a comet or an atomic ex- plcsion-should let that layer of oxygen molecules escape, life might vanish from the face of the globe under the bombardment of ultra violet radiation from the sun.
 The effect of certain types of violet rays on living organ isms may be judged from an- nouncement by Caltech's Dr. Ren- ato Dulbecco, who yesterday dis closed discovery of life rays" and death rays" in his studies with invisible light.
 A certain kind of light, he said, can kill a little-known bacterial virus, and another kind of light can bring the same organism back to life.

The w aShinqton Merry Go Round

 UASHINGTON-While certain adnlirals were attracting the na- tional spotlight with broadsides of criticism on Capitol Hill, another Navy unit was periodically retriev- ing thousands of dollars for the taxpayers without attracting any attention at all.
 This unspectacular nose to-the grindstone outfit was the Pitts burgh office of the supervising in- spector of Naval material. With headaches instead of headlines for a reward, this watchdog unit went through Navy contracts looking for bugs. As result, enough bugs were combed out of the Navy's contract with the Canonsburg Steel and Iron Company to reverse the com pany's claim for S1,346, ,306. In- stead of paying Canonsburg, the Navy collected $574,157.
 In another case, the admirals had gloated over purchasing $1,- 131, ,188 worth of material from the Cooper Bessemer Corporation at the bargain scrap price of $63,251. The watchdog unit discovered. however, that this wasn't such a bargain after all For, believe t or. not the Navy had bought it's own material, already paid for by the Navy.
 But, thanks again to the watch-

Nothing Proved Is Greed at Fishwhee| as Miners Dig in
 To Await prosped Boiler,

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 1--tR Dozens of prospectors, undaunted by snow and an adverse assay re- port, dug in today at the Fishwheel gold boom camp on the frozen Yukon river to sink their prospect holes to bedrock
 Their determination to chanes their luck on the Yukon Flats 165 miles northeast of here was re- ported by a number of the gold seekers who returned by plane from Fishwheel.
 Most of the 100 or more men re- maining were said to be old time prospectors. The rest were described as enthusiastic tenderfeet." Their common creed, however, was that "nothing's proved until you scrape led rock
 To speed up the job of reaching bed rock, prospect boilers and core drills will be flown to the scene from Fairbanks this week. They are expected to bring final proof in a fortnight or more whether the Yukon's silt holds gold in commer- cial quantities.
 Many of the veterans staying on at F.shwheel placed their faith in "color" found by banning the stream. They paid scant attention to. an assay report that one of the original nugget finds was brass.
 More than half of the 300-odd gold hunters who swarmed to the area by plane have since returned.
