cl0 Steelworkers Go
Into Conference 10 Fix
Pay Increase Demand
BY the Associated Press

q. ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct
6-Top policy-makers of Philip
Murray's steelworkers meet in
secret today to decide how big a
wage increase to seek.
!, The United Steelworkers of
America, CIO. have set the pace
for several rounds of postwar wage
increases, with other unions then
following suit. Indications this
time are that they may ask for a
25-cent-an-hour boost.
A scheduled meeting of the
steelworkers' Wage Policy Com
mittee was set for yesterday, but
postponed until today. The unions
Executive Board met yesterday be-
bind closed doors.
Steel Labor" the unions off,
cial organ, said that 1,400 COM
panies in steel and aluminium
would be asked to negotiate a
substantial wage increase" to be-
come effective when contracts ex-
pire December 81.
A spokesman said most COM
panies. except United States Steel
and Bethlehem. have consented to
preliminary talks next week. He
said the union expects negotia-
tlons to get going in earnest by
November /.
Predictions of demand for a
25-cent boost are rife but unoffi-
cial. Arthur j. Goldberg, general
counsel for the union, recently
discounted a suggestion that the
union might open negotiations at
10 cents, and "Steel Labor" re-
1erred to a recent 10 per cent
boost granted by the Aluminium
Co. Of America as "a down pay
ment on a more adequate and
equitable wage adjustment"
The steelworkers now average
$1.70 an hour.

that Chairman Davis of a House
District subcommittee feels he
may be able to introduce the

sentatives of groups handling pro-

Yugos|av Aid Bill Up
In House After Senate
Passes II, SO 10 II
By ]. A. O'LeoY

The House begins debate this
afternoon on the $3S million Yugo-
slav aid bill. which passed the
Senate last night, 60 to 81. House
approval is expected tomorrow.
Meanwhile. Senator Knowland
Republican, of California, looked
to the new Congress, which meets
January 3, to approve his plea for
ut least the same amount OF
American aid to Chiang-K
shek's Chinese Nationalists on
Formosa.
The Californian came within
four votes Of tacking his Formosa
amendment to the Yugoslav bill
yesterday. The vote was AZ to 3o
against him. In the new Congress
the Republicans will hold four
seats more than they now have
Observers also noted that four OF
the Democrats who opposed the
Knowland motion yesterday will
not be Senators in January, while
only one of the Republicans sup
porting it is leaving.
O'Conor Disillusioned."
The $38 million is to supplement
$31 million already made avail
able by the administration from
existing appropriations to relieve
q food shortage in Yugoslavia, in
the hope that American help will
encourage Marshal Tito to oppose
Russian aggression In Central
Europe.
Senator O'Conor of Maryland,
one Of seven Democrats who voted
against aiding the Yugoslavs, said
he is becoming "disillusioned
about the chances of winning
avowed Communists to our side"
He said the Korean war has shown
solidarity among Communists, and
has demonstrated that kindness"
toward Red China only strength
ened 1t for aggression. The six
other Democrats against the bill
were Senators Byrd of Virginia,
Chavez Of New Mexico, F'rear of
Delaware, Johnston of South
Carolina and Mcclellan of Arkan-
Sas.
Despite defeat of the Knowland
amendment, Is Republicans went
along with IS Democrats in the
first revival of bipartisan action
on a foreign policy issue since
Congress reconvened.
Acheson Question Undecided.
Meanwhile. Republican leaders
still were undecided on whether to
go forward with a demand for the
replacement of Secretary of State
Acheson, or drop it in the interest
OF national unity. A four-man
Republican Policy subcommittee
may meet again today on the
question.
Senator Knowland'S amend
~A1SAAV w VIC uSOS1dt U1ll WOulQ
have forbidden the administration
to make the $38 million available
to Tito unless it also released at
least that much in aid for Chang
kai-shek's army on Formosa out
of a $75 million fund Congress
said last year could be used at the
discretion of the President in nom
Communist areas near China.
a: IF the administration has mott
completely lost touch with reali-
ties" said Senator Knowland, "it
will realize that the new Congress
taking over in three weeks is likely
to reverse the close vote of yester-
day. I hope that before then
something concrete will be done to
encourage the Chinese National
lists"
Administration supporters op-
posed the Knowland amendment
through fear that any outright
military aid to Chang Kai-shek
at this time might plunge the
United States into full-scale war
with Red China.
