For years Chrysler Corporation has rec
ognized the UAW as the collective bargaining
agent for employees for whom the Union has
been certified by the National Labor Relations
Board The Company has made many con-
tracts with the Union. These contracts the
UAW itself has said were fair, but it always
has broken them.
All through the current negotiations
Chrysler has shown it's willingness to discuss
changes in the present contract although
the Company was not required even to discuss
contract changes s-other than the general
level of wage rates until next June 1st at the
earliest.
All through the years of these contract
relations, the UAW has given little, if any,
evidence of responsibility on it's part but has
acted fast and loose with it's contract obliga-
tions Repeated promises of the UAW to cor
rect abuses of the bargaining procedure have
meant nothing.

people think it has been settling, on the other
hand perfectly adapted to getting the strike
assessments right up to the last minute of the
assessment period.
What the UAW says about strike
ments is misleading, too. The Union talks about
the money it has received It says nothing
about the money that is coming due right
along and may not be received by the Union

To Protect Its O1un Political Machine?
To Build Up Its Position Elsewhere?

The UAW has not yet accepted Chrysler's
final pension and insurance offer of last Sun
day. After months Of stalling and unwilling
ness to bargain seriously on other matters, the
UAW is now back to demanding major
changes in the Union contract When the
Union struck, it had not made most Of these
demands
In this situation, the Company's course is
clear. Having made it's final offer on pension
and insurance benefits last Sunday, Chrysler
Corporation has indicated the changes it is
willing to make in the rest of the contract with
the UAW.
If the UAW, for it's own purposes, wishes
posals, the consequences are up to the UAW.
The Union is now pressing for many con-
tract changes that have nothing to do with
pension and insurance benefits for our en-
ployees. Among others, the Union is insisting
on things that it uses to disrupt operations in
the plants and interfere with orderly proce-
dure. It wants to continue abuses that it has
been practicing in the shops and that for years
it has been promising to stop: Chrysler wishes

London Union Spurns
Dock Strikers Deal
BY The Associated Press

LONDON. April 22-Leaders of
a wildcat strike by nearly 5000
London dockers tried in vain to-
day for a deal to end the walk
out on their own terms.
The stoppage-denounced by
the Labor government as Com

leadership of the Transport and
General Workers Union, to which
most of the men belong.
They are demanding reinstate-
ment of three members expelled
by the union for the part they
played in a costly unofficial dock
strike last summer.

TGWU today they would call it

ChrYsIer Negotiators
Seek New Approach
BY The Assoeioted Press

DETROIT, April 22.-Appar-
entity still far apart, Chrysler and
the CIO-United Auto Workers
negotiators decided early tonight
to put over until tomorrow fur
ther talks seeking to end the 49,
day-old strike.
The disputantS, after meeting
for four hours, agreed to convene
at 10 am. tomorrow.
Mediators said they called the
sides back in the hope that one
might come up with a new ap-
proach" to disputed contract is
sues.
The decision for a Sunday ses-
sion was regarded with mild op-
timism in view Of earlier indica-
tions that a recess of several days
might be called to allow tempers
to cool.
Regional Director Arthur c.
Wat of the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service made
the earlier statement that a re-
cess might be needed.
The union delegation went in
to the meeting fresh from a STRAIT
egy session of it's full Chrysler
negotiating committee. But un-
ion sources were silent on what
recommendations. If any, were
made.

Israel in 1860

which told of the decade of de-
velopment between 1850 and 1860.
It detailed the execution of the
Jordan Valley development, which
had restored thousands of dunams
Of land to fertility. Another story
told of the great chemical indus
tries arising around the Dead Sea.
I was interested in another as
pect Of the country. It seemed
that Israel had become a great
dairy state. This was peculiar
when I remembered how few
cattle there were ten years
earlier. But now it seemed. it
had become a land of milk and
honey. indeed. This new develop
ment. / learned. came about
queerlY through something which
had happened in Florida. The
paper recalled that in 1850. the
farmers in Florida had discovered
that orange Feelings were very
nourishing for cattle and as re-
suit were developing Florida into
one of the primary cattle states
of America. The orange growers
of Israel had taken the hint and
done the same thing.
The article went on to tell of
the great development of the
tourist business. This, I had ex-
pected, but the introduction of jet
plane transportation had worked
wonders. One could breakfast in
New York and dine the same
afternoon in Tel Aviv. AS in the
days when the Roman Emperor
wintered at the baths of Tiberias,
so that city was now frequented
not only by thousands of Jews
from other parts of the world but
by many thousands of non-JewS.
Yes. I could see a lot had hap
pened since the time Israel was

teen more years and he's telling
papa what to do.

something blue" has its roots in
an ancient Hebraic custom of hav-
ing the brides put riband of blue
on their garments. These claim
that the blue represents purity
as well as loyalty. It is difficult
to trace the origin of this custom
in Jewish lore.
One might trace it to the fact
that it was customary to place a
"Talith" (prayer shawD over the
heads of the couple as a fore
runner to our canopy. The Jewish
prayer shawl originally consisted
of fringes that were sort 81 mix
ture of blue and white. For this
reason some shawlS still contain
blue stripes.
QUESTION: Does the throwing
of shoes have any origin in Jew
lSh practice at weddings? IA. F..
Triton. Cal
ANSWER: 1t is difficult to
trace any direct source for this
custom. However, it might be
kept in mind that passing the shoe
was once means of transferring
property. 1t was used as a symbol
by Boaz when he gained the right
to marry Ruth. Even today, the
shoe is used in the ceremony that
frees a widow whose husband left
her no children, from the respon-
sibility of levirate marriage with
her brother-in-Iaw. How direct a
bearing this has on the common
practice of tossing shoes at a mar
ried couple is left to the reader.

QUESTION: What are "Klez.

mer?" Up. T.. Douglas. Ga.)
ANSWER: ''Klezmer" is a term
that usually applies to musicians.
1t has become a Yiddish express
sion especially referring to the
musicians who play at a Jewish
wedding. 1t is interesting to note
that this term is actually con-
traction of two Hebrew words
E'Klay Zemer" which means Sin
struments of song" The famous
Mahril once placed such import
ance upon music that he issued a
decision stating that if wedding
was scheduled to take place in a
location where music was forbid
den at the moment because of a
death or the like) it should be
moved to another location where
music would be possible.

Watching Big Business

It hasn't ,garnered many head- lines, but one of the most import ant probes on Capitol Hill has been the monopoly investigation con- ducted by Congressman Nanny Celler, chairman of the House Jul dietary Committee.
 Handicapped for lack of funds, and despite terrific pressure from certain lobbyists, Celler has shown among other things, how the big insurance companies now dominate the money market, have largely taken the place Of Wall Street in leaning money to business.
 FDR set up the Securities and Exchange Commission to protect the public regarding stock and bond issues. But today, many big business firms don't have to wor- " about SEC registration. They get their money from the insur- ance companies.
 As a result of his probe, Con- eressman Celler will propose legis- lation at this session putting teeth in the antitrust act.
 Today" says Celler, General Electric is involved in 16 different anti-trust suits. Why? Because the nenalties don't mean much. No iail sentences are ever imposed.

Route to Montreal
(Washington PoSt)

tWaSnlnBtOn FOSI)
 nice tangle has arisen over application of the Canadian United States air agreement and from all indications the mess will get before it gets better The issue is simply whether United States airlines continue to enjoy operating rights in Canada unless equivalent rights are accorded Canad- ian lines in the United States Canada is now forcing showdown, and though the method of the showdown is questionable, on grounds of equity the Canadian case seems to us unassailabe.
 The trouble arose shortly after the agreement was signed last June Colonial Airlines, which since 1926 has had monopoly of New YorkMontreal air traffic, protested the plan to grant duplicate route to lrans- Canada~ Airlines. The issue went to court and all though Colonials suit dismissed an injunction was issued pending appeal This injunction forblds the Civil Aeronautics Board to recommend that the Pres- dent grant route to Trans Canada. Meanwhile the Canadian Air Transport Board summoned Colonial to show why it's Montreal route should not be cancelled because it has delayed effectiveness of the air agreement.
 It is questionable whether the air agreement en- visions this sort of uniaterl action, and think the State Department is right in protesting the re- talation Doubtless it similar consideration that inspired Chairman O'Connel of the Civil Aero nautics Board to agree with Senator Edwin Johnsons complaint that the Canadian move is a form of pres American courts. This is the sort of mis- understanding between friends that ought to be re- solved immediately, and it is encouraging that inter- governmental consultations have begun in Ottawa
 On the larger issue, however, the Canadians inescapaby right and it is not hard to understand how the injustice has festered in their minds. For while the litigation has been going they have raised no question about the major concession to American lines at Gander, Newfoundland. It is true that the contemplated Trans-Canada route may entail some injury to Colonal-though it is also possible that the stimulus of competition will develop new traffic. But if duplication should necessitate a 1.;s ,,be;Iu forC CoIo io1 bp price to pay for American rights at Gander The fact is that international aviation cannot be one way affair and if the United States is to receive privileges elsewhere it must expect to reciprocate.

wave of yearning for the rustic past seems to be sweeping the country. The old-time country doc tor becomes the rallying standard of the American Medical Association in it's fight against national health insurance. Prominent members of the Citi- zens Committee for the Hoover Report meeting in Washington pose for photographers around cracker barrel in front of pot-belied stove.

 Margaret is working very hard She is taking two lessons day. Truman replied He added that some critics had been harsh on her, and his tone of voice indicat- ed that this hurt him worse than any political attack on himself.
 But the people have been nice to her." he added. As the three Congressional visit ors were about to leave, Sparkman noted an ear of corn imbedded in a solid plastic prism on the Pre- sidents desk.

stood. if we are to see this picture clearly. They realize that there are to be no additional gifts to Great Britain beyond our current con- mitments under the Marshall Plan They would like an additional S2,- 0O0,O0o,O00, but they can read the signs of the times and it is ob- vious that this Congress will reduce rather than increase the burden of foreign assistance. Therefore they would, on the continent oi Europe, like to increase east-west trade; that is, the trade between England and such countries as Czechoslovakia, Poland and Soviet Russia.
 It should be recsled that this idea was included in the Marshall plan but did not develop because the Iron Curtain countries refused to join the Marshall Plan. The British had to be cautioned not tC sell goods sent to them from the United States to such countries and there was at one time a bit of a scandal concerning that. At any rate, the British have been very busy fixing up the east-west trade and their economic relations may force them to become a neutral as between the United States and Soviet Russia. Such neutrality, in the political field, could tie us in knot in the United Nations.
 As regards China, the British concern themselves only with trade relations and whatever arrange ments they can make with the Chinese Communists concerning Hong Kong. which cannot be ade- quately defended by the British.
 Before the China war Q93D, the British had a commercial and in dustrial capital investment in China
