ENDS IN PACT.
Bitterness Prevails Up 10
End Contract for Five
and Three Years

DETROIT, May 44R-The bill
hon-dollar-plus Chrysler strike
was settled today-an hour and a
half before it became 100 days old.
The CLIO United Auto Workers
and Chrysler Corp. signed contract
at 1925 am. (EST) carrying $lOO
monthly pensions, including Social
Security benefits, for workers IS
years old with Is years service.
The contract also boosts wages in
some parts plants. and hikes medi-
cal, hospital and insurance benefits
OF employees. The pension section
runs five years, that covering wages
and other items for three.
The wages and insurance section
may be reopened once after July J.,
1851. and once after July l, 1852,
by either side.
The $4,000 striking Chrysler
unionists will begin returning to
work Monday. Most of the fifty
thousand idled in supplier plants
will follow them, though some sup
plier firms already have recalled
their workers.
Rolling in 2 Weeks
Chrysler is shooting at a maxi
mum car and truck production
within two weeks in its 25 Chrys-
Ter, Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth
plants across the country.
Local unions will vote on ratifica-
ton of the contract Saturday, but
none is expected to reject it. APP
prevail usually is automatic.
JAW President Walter Reuther
claimed these gains, among others,
in addition to pensions and hos
pital-medical and insurance bene-
fits:
Three to Is cents an hour more
for workers in several Chrysler parts
plants.

ers would have been forced to join
the union-after obtaining jobs it
not before.
The company still contends the
union could have got virtually what
it received today without the strike,
which cost an estimated $1,383,-
720.S3J in lost wages and sales.
Only the General Motors strike OF
1945-46 lasted longer or cost more.

days.
The union claims its gains equal
the Demonstrations package" it
demanded when it called the walk
out. Reuther said:
Human Crusade"
1.-THE Chrysler strike was more
than fight for pension, hospital
medical and insurance benefits and
an improved contract. The Chrysler
strike was part of a great human
crusade to build a better tomorrow
and better world"

Water Film Dancers

If you would like to see dancers
perform on the water film of ponds.
streams and lakes, select a bright
clear day in June with little wind
stirring.
Waterstriders are the most agile
dancers. Their feet are shod with
wax-covered hairs preventing the
dancers from slipping in or getting
their feet wet.
With their four long legs stretched
out to the sides and a shorter pair
tucked under the head, the strider
moves confidentally back and fourth.
His weight is so light the feet
pressed into the water surface is
only enough to make dimples in
1t. The water does not flow around
and over to let the foot push
through the surface film. The
waxed boots prevent this. Instead,
the water strider's weight is sup
ported partly by the surface tension
which tends to erase the depres-
sion and bring all the water film
to the same level. You will notice
that the Strider uses its hind and
foremost legs to hold its body well
above the smooth and slippery sur
face Of the pond while the center
legs serve as oars to scull the
dancer along.
Below, on the bottom of the pond
the mirrored double of the strider
can be seen as a shadow It is
interesting to watch the shadow
of the performer.
Considerable length Of water is
required to support an insect as
heavy as mature waterstrider. If
the hair booted feet pressed on the
film at only six tiny points, the
strider would sink to the bottom.
But the strider spreads its legs so
that the pressure makes elongate
burrows or dimples in the water
film, holding the dancer up.
Waterstriders love to make their
toilet on their dance floor. Weight
is shifted freely among It's feet.
Drawing its rowing feet back and
forth, raising them we'll above the
surface, the strider rubs one against
the other to remove any particle of
dust. Then the Strider rests on its
fore feet and one hind foot with
the rowing leg on that side as an
outrigger while the middle and rear
feet of the opposite side are raised
high into the air and rub vigorously
in flddling motion. At times the
strider almost lies down on its side
Many contortions are assumed as
he goes over every part of the body
to make sure it is clean. The water
film stands the strain and the
strider remains dry at the surface.
The bath or massage consumes
all of 10 minutes.
The strider may spy a gnat on
the surface that has just tumbled
from the air, and in a flash the
strider takes off. Hunting is good.
A stranded crane fly Is soon sur
rounded by waterstriders whose wa
terproof galoshes keep them safe at
the top while they feast on the
nourishing body juices of their late
neighbor. +t
There are other film dancers you
will enjoy watching, but the water
striders, casting their fantastic
shadows on the floor below. keep
you entertained until the sun goes
down.
