Stee|workers Sign
With Kaiser, Strike
Two Other Companies
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6. - The
CIO United Steelworkers made
peace with Henry j. Kaiser but
spread their walkout to two more
plants today.
The ranks Of 100000 striking
steelworkers were joined last night
by $500 at the Atlantic Steel Co.
in Atlanta and 1890 at the River
dale plant of the Acme Steel Co.
near Chicago.
Atlantic is a basic steel plant
which also does some manufacture
ing while Acme's Riverdale plant
is primarily a fabricator.
Kaiser to Pay for Pensions.
Kaiser's Steel acceptance of
contract demands was announced
last night by Philip Murray. presi-
dent of the steelworkers and OF
the CIO.
Kaiser did what Big Steel re-
fuses to do. 1t signed an agree
ment to give cents per man-hour
for insurance and 6 cents an hour
for pensions paid completely by
the company. The plan is retro
active to October /. Thirty five
hundred employees at its plant in
Fontana, Calf, will benefit. Their
contract was due to expire Octo-
per Is.
The Kaiser agreement, which
follows the exact recommendations
of the Presidential Fact-Finding
Board. is the first reached since
the strike began. And the West
Coast firm is the second basic
steel producer to accede to the
unions demands.
Portsmouth (Ohio) Steel. with
1000 employees, signed before the
strike deadline six days ago.
Standard Steel Works of Burn
ham. Pa, division of the Bald
win Locomotive Works, also agreed
to a pension and insurance pro-
gram before the strike began.
Government Takes No Action.
The Government is showing no
indications of stepping into the
steel strike soon. although Cyrus
Ching, director of the Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Serv-
ice, has summoned John L. Lewis
and coal operators to Washington
tomorrow.
Meanwhile. Detroit began feel
ing the pinch of the strike.
The Packard Motor Co. laid off
1856 Of its 12,413 employees until
Monday. The Briggs Manufac-
turing Co., which supplies bodies
for Packard. laid off 5000 en-
ployes at its Conner plant for the
rest of the week.
Both companies said operations
would resume Monday but on a
reduced schedule. Packard said its
shutdown is to balance shortages
already caused by the steel strike.
The automotive shutdowns brought
to about $4,000 the number of
workers idle in the Detroit area as
result Of the strike.
In Cleveland 13 iron ore
carriers stood idle in Cleveland
'larbor. waiting to be unloaded.
T-tle job is usually done by steel
,,,orkers.
Even if the holds are emptied
efore the strike ends there is still
ne question of available storage
space. The storage yards at the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh docks
are rapidly being filled, as are
facilities at North Randall, where
cargoes discharged at the Erie
Dock Co. are being piled.
Still more freighters are sched-
uled to arrive and anchor here to-

PARTY HONORS CHAPLAIN AND MRS. DARLING

Friday night, Feb. 4, farewell party was given by the Sunday School members and friends of he Nazarene Church for Chaplain and Mrs. Darling who are soon to leave Marks Air Force Base and Nome.
 Several games were played dur ing which time it was found that some of the group were too seri- ous! Not until their "haW-haWs" were played back to them on the Wire-recorder would they laugh.
 George Sudernan played se- lection on his electric guitar. Bun ny Fagerstrom, Alice Miller, Clara Jorgensen, and Ruth Fagerstron, in a double duet, sang two old hymns, Bunny Fagerstrom accom- panying on the auto-harp. MT. and Mrs. C. F. Yenney had put words to the tune of School Days" The Darlings." This was sung by MT. Yenney.
 Mrs. Phyllis May then sang a solo, very beautiful hymn. Mrs. Green and O. B. Morse sang a translated song, At The Cross" "Tu Cum Veni." Mrs. Gustav Ofeldt spoke her appreciation at having known the Darlings. This gave a fitting closing to the short, impromptu program which was taken down on the Wire-recorder, afterwards to be made into records that Chaplain and Mrs. Darling might have something by which to remember a few of their Nome friends. May Titus, staunch and faithful member of the church, but who has been i'll for some time, recorded beforehand a prayer in her Pt. Barrow dialect and also sang When We all Get To Heaven"
 Chaplain and Mrs. Darling have given much of their time and talent. We have greatly enjoyed their singing together and the sermons that the Chaplain has given. Just their presence in church is greatly felt and much appreciated. Because we all know that Chaplain and Mrs. Darling are pure gold, farewell present of several gold nuggets was pre- sented 10 them. Mrs. Elmer Green gave to Mrs. Darling lapel pin, the beadwork of which read Jesus Only" Aunty May Titus also sent a gift to Mrs. Darling, a lapel pin which stated Forget Us Not in Alaska"
 Cake and ice cream was served and greatly enjoyed by all. [,
 Each of us feels enriched in having met and known Chaplain and Mrs. Darling. Wherever they go, we know they will bring joy and happiness to others. God bless tha->

Mother Who Hid Son
Could Have Had Birth
Listed as Legitimate
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Mar. 1.-THE indis-
cretion that shocked a frightened
mother into holding her 13-year-
old illegitimate son in captivity
most of his life might have re-
mained secret forever had she re-
corded his birth.
City Registrar Michael j. Man
ming said that If Mrs. Ann Sui
Ivan had recorded the child's
birth no one would have known
Of the illegitimacy except her
self and the reputed father"
THE child Of married woman
is legally presumed to be the
legitimate offspring of her hus-
band" Mr.. Manning said. "All
Mrs. Sullivan had to do when
Gerald was born was to declare
that she was married at the time
which she was"
Police said the shock of the
indiscretion apparently drove the
woman into hiding the child in
barren room for the greater
part of his life.
But the 45-year-old mother in

Air Force Attempting
To Produce Atomic
Engine for Planes
BY the Associated Press

WELLESLEY, Mass, Mar. IT.
An atomic energy commissioner
told today of Air Force plans for
a plane that would be powered by
an atomic engine.
Robert F. Bacher of the COM
mission told a science conference
celebrating the 18TH anniversary
of Wellesley College that this is
probably the most exciting of
new experiments with atoms.
It was announced recently that
the Navy was working on a nuclear
engine that might enable its ships
to roam the seven seas without
refueling.
Mr.. Bacher's speech, as released
in advance of delivery, said the
direction taken by the develop
ment of atomic energy will be de-
termined by international condi-
tions.
But he said regardless OF
Evening star., 1949-03-17

whether tools of peace or weapons
of war are made, 1t will mean
progress in this new field because
''peacetime applications Of atomic
energy are closely related to war;
time potential"
Regarding the new airplane,
Mr.. Bacher explained:
During the past two and one
half years project to study this
possibility has been carried out
by the Fairchild Engine & Air
plane Corp. under the supervision
of the Air Forces and in co-opera-
ton with the commission.
This project is called the NEPA
project, which is short for nuclear
energy propulsion for aircraft.

consideration is whether a prac-

his reasons for doing so. This
the administration balks at seri-
ously. It does not like the idea
of being placed in the position
Of destroying any American in
dustry and throwing workers out
Of jobs.
The contention Of Senate Re-
publicans Is that the State De-
partment. doing q bit Of diplomatic
log-rolling on Its own. and giving
as its reasons . desire to improve
the country's security, Is over
looking the interests Of some
American industries-and seri-
ously.
All Of this is expected to be aired
in the coming debate Of the re-
ciprocal trade agreements bill.
That measure, as the administra-
tion desires 1t. has been passed by
the House, and it must also be
passed by the Senate and approved
by the Senate before June 80. to
keep the trade agreements system
going. The battle over the peril
point clause promises to be brisk
and the vote close. Also, the ad-
ministration bill carries no refer
ence to escape clauses. The Presi-
dent can put them In or not as he
sees at.
Imports into this country In 1947
totaled In value 1854. 800. 900. In
194S this total grew to 81. .07e. .000,- :
600. and the trend this year Is for
still more imports. Our experts.
on the other hand. are showing
some reduction. In l947, the total
value Of American exports was
9l4.252. SOC. 900. and in 1s48, this
dropped to $12. .494 .2oO. 900. The
exports Tor the first three months
Of 1o49 were close. in value. to
those Of the similar period In 1948.
Depending upon what may be re-
quired In the way Of exports for
military purposes. the American
exports for this year may 30 down
slightly. These are trends which
are giving the Legislators cause for
thought.
