tients of Virginia doctors IN hos
pitfalls in the District.
DR.. Rutland said he regretted
the necessity of resorting to such
a plan but that he did so only
after futile efforts to have Virginia
authorities grant the same privi-
leges to Washington physicians as
the District grants to those from
Virginia.
Senator Fenwick said he would
attempt to have the Virginia
General Assembly amend the
present law in accordance with
DR.. Ruhland's reciprocity pro-
posal. He added he had the back
ing of all nearby Virginia medical
societies.
Senator Fenwick said DR..
Ruhland's action would work a
hardship on Virginia physicians
as we'll as on their patients here.
DR.. John T. Hazel, president of
the Arlington Medical Society,
said he is very anxious" to reach
an agreement with District med
ical authorities.
He said he has discussed the
matter with DR.. Rutland several
times during the past year but
that nothing could be done until
the General Assembly acted.
Il don't see why DR.. Ruhland
couldn't wait until the General
Assembly meets" DR.. Hazel said.
He knows we would be perfectly
happy to cooperate but there just
isn't any law to cover such a
reciprocity agreement"

groundwork in our industry for
moving forward" e. ..E
Mr.. Bugas, who estimated his
company eventually would be pay
ing $20,000,000 a year for pen
sions, called the settlement "a
very good bargain for Ford, it's
employees and the union"
He based his estimate on a fig
ure of 8A cents an hour a worker
the top the company figures it
can spend for pensions since it
already contributes 1A cents for
an insurance plan. The presi-
Dental panel had recommended
that any welfare payments now
made by management be sub
tracted by the 10-cent total.
Mr.. Reuther's statement follow
ing the contract agreement stated
Ford workers economic gains "are
in excess of 10 cents an hour"
The pension plan will be ad-
ministered by joint board of
trustees. on which union and
company will have equal repre-
sentation.
This is how it will work:
A Ford employe who has reached
the age of IS or has 80 years
service may retire voluntarily. Re-
tirement is compulsory at age 68.
Following retirement. Ford will
pay him each month the differ
ence between his social security
benefits and $100. Any social Sc
curity paid to the workers wife
has no bearing on the pension.
Thus, Ford pensions will total
$100 for every worker, although
all do not receive exactly the same
social security.
Five thousand Ford workers are
eligible to retire Immediately.

People 'sCounseIA Asks
15-Year Amortization
Plan for Gas Company

Peoples Counsel John ODea
today urged the Public Utilities
Commission to adopt a proposal
that the Washington Gas Light
Co.'S cost of conversion to natural
gas be amortized over a 15-year
period.
Mr.. ODea supported an amor
tization plan suggested earlier by
q Federal Government witness in
tervening in the PUC's hearings
on the gas company's request for
q per cent increase in rates to
District subscribers. The company
now is authorized by the commits
sion to amortiZe over a 10-year
period.
Mr.. O'Dea Endorsed the alter
nate plan as the PUG heard oral
summations by all interested par
ties in the hearings.
Calls Criticism Unfair.
Mr.. ODea said that the gas
company's attempt at an earlier
hearing to discredit James K.
Macintosh, an official of the Fed
eral Bureau of Supply, who for
warded the 15-year plan, was
"eminently unfair"
"The company's test of a wit
ness qualifications apparently is
whether he has ever made a
financial decision for a big busi-
ness" Mr.. ODea said.
The company had protested
that Mr.. Macintosh was not COM
petent to testify because he lacked
business experience.
Cites Investors Rights.
Mr.. Macintosh had submitted
that under his plan the company
could operate on a $540.000 yearly
increase in revenue rather than
the 100000 it seeks.
Denial that the 15-year amorti-
cation plan was practical came
from Oscar Berry. an attorney for
the company. He told the PUG
that under such plan the in
vestors would be denied right to
the return they expect and re-
quire."
He said the company had Sub
mitted all the necessary facts to
prove the requested increase was
necessary and that the 10-year
plan was sound and fair.

Ford Settlement Puts
Pressure on Big Steel
In Pension Dispute
By the A,soeiuted Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 90
Agreement Of the Ford Motor Co.
to finance pensions for aged CIO
United Auto Workers today in
creased pressure on steel negotia-
tors for a settlement.
Neither the United States Steel
Corp, biggest producer and in
dustry leader, nor the CIO United
Steel Workers would comment on
the Ford settlement as bargaining
teams gathered here for new con-
tract talks.
They are working against a
Friday midnight strike deadline.
Ford's willingness to pay for a
10-cent hourly pension and in
surance package places a new
weapon in the unions hands.
The auto pact conforms to the
recommendations of the steel in
dustry fact-finding board and
leaves steel companies standing
firm on their refusal to go along
on the recommendation that en-
ployers bear all expenses.
Some Furnaces Banked.
United States Steel and other
big producers want employees to
share in the costs. The union
says that all companies which
don't switch over will be struck at
1901 am. Saturday.
Determined Philip Murray,
president of both the CIO and the
steel workers, went ahead with
plans to flash the strike signal to
about 100000 unionists in the
basic steel industry. Some plants
already have begun to curtail op-
erations in preparation for a pos
sible strike.
United States Steel said the
first of its ~ blast furnaces in the
Pittsburgh Youngstown (Ohio)
area will be banked by midnight.
Those furnaces produce pig iron
for use in making steel in OPEN
hearth furnaces. The corpora
ton said open hearths will not be
affected Immediately.
The Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co. also announced it was cur
failing operations in its. Youngs-
town and Chicago districts.
Two blast furnaces will be
banked in Youngstown today and
the remaining two tomorrow. In
Chicago, one furnace was being
closed down today and two more
will be banked tomorrow. Some
coke batter operations already
have been discontinued in both
districts.
About "a to 48 hours are re-
quired for the orderly and efficient
shutdown of steel mill.
Mediators Stand BY.
The steel workers gave no sign of
giving up their fight to force the
steel industry to pay the entire
cost of a pension insurance pro-
gram.
Mr.. Murray had nothing but
scorn for the Big Steel offer. The
veteran labor leader declared:
1T must be plain to all that
the corporation is deliberately
seeking to force a steel strike"
Developments in the dispute
came swiftly after Mr.. Murray's
bitter blast at big steel. Cyrus
Ching, director of the Federal
Mediation Service, sent his top
aides to the negotiating centers.
In a last-minute effort, he said
the services of his office are be-
ing offered to IS companies.
There was no indication Presi-

so all would not retire at once
The pensions will be effective
March /, and the first checks will
be distributed April /.
Mr.. Reuther said the union
would try Immediately to get a
like contract from Chrysler Corp
Up to this time, Chrysler has in
sisted it cannot talk pensions with
the UAW under wage reopen
ing clause in it's current contract
since the firm contends pensions
are not wages.
The UAW chief did not say
when the union would carry its
pension demand to the General
Motors Corp. largest company in
the auto industry's big three. The
UAW-GM contract runs into next
year, with no wage re-opening.
Negotiations between Ford and
the auto workers union began last
June. Their old contract orig
inally expired July Is, but was
extended on a day-to-day basis.
At first the JAW demanded
pensions Of $100 monthly exclu-
sive of social security, health bene-
fits and a cost-of Living wage in
crease.
The company twice asked for
a freeze OF wages at present levels.
Ford officials said frankly they
changed their bargaining position
after the steel fact-finding board
made its recommendation Sep
tember II. At that time the com
pany offered its pension package
1t was disclosed afterward that
wages had figured very little in
the negotiations

space now used for control func-
tions-mail distribution, visits, in
mate discipline, classification and

Prominent in the operating
expense estimates is an item OF
$107, 800 for needed equipment re-
placements, notable in the trans
portation and mechanical farm
machinery line.
An increase of $4,000 over this
year to bring 1851 clothing issue
expenditures up to $4,000 was
asked for the District Jail so that
all $50 inmates would be furnished
clothing. At present. a number
of inmates have to wear their
personal clothing, it was pointed
out.
Funds Wanted for Orchard.
Among other items of increase
in operating expenses requested
was one of $3.50 for supplies for
the Lorton orchard, which con-
sists of more than $500 fruit
trees and "has not been bringing
forth proper yield for a number
of years" mostly because of un-
suitable climate but also because
of an inadequate budget for sup
plies. Total for the orchard would
be $1,700.
The department estimated it
would have a population of 2.150
at the reservation institutions
during fiscal 1851, or 100 less than
in 1850. Factors considered in
clude the effect of the new
Alcoholic Clinic on the Workhouse
and the possibility of
reduced employment opportunities
in 1851.
Estimated expense of running
the Jail will increase from $724,-
029 in 1850 to $761 1926 in 1851,
while the cost of operating the
four other institutions will in
crease from $2,059,183 to $2,204,-
600.

Recommends Milk
Pdstuerizotion

the importance of pasteuriza-
ton in safeguarding milk was
stressed this week by DR.. Andrew
Hedmeg, director of the Jackson
County Health Department. That
raw milk can and does transmit
disease and that pasteurization
prevents such has been proved to
the satisfaction of doctors and
health authorities by experiment
tation, by epidemiologic methods
and by statistics. he said. More
than $50 cities require pasteuriza-
lion he stated.
More than rs per cent of the
milk from communities of 1000
population is pasteurized. Obiec-
ions to paSteurization are I'M
sound as the average person is
not able to detect any flavor diff
terence on "blind-fold tests.
In Jackson county we use a
great deal of raw milk, authori-
les reported. Proof of the need
or a countrywide pasteurization
program is evidenced by the fact
hat since 1945 we have had 763
3ases of milk borne diseases. DR..
Hedmeg said.
Pasteurization is the best pro
.eetive measure for milk. Raw
milk may also be contaminated
by bacteria from flies, water and
utensils and no practical freouen-
of inspection would prevent
such contamination. 1t is not log
ical to make meteorological tests
on raw milk because of the large
number of harmless bacteria.
Pasteurization is performed by
heating every particle of milk to
at least 143 F and maintaining
this temperature at least 80 min
utes or at 100 F for is seconds.
