TeIetype Operators

Settle for S2.21 Boost
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 3.-AFL tele-
type operators have settled thei,
33-day strike with the United
Press and will return to their jobs
at midnight tonight.
The Commercial Telegraphers
Union accepted a 1921 a week
general wage increase-first Of
fered by u. P. before the walkout
May /.
The union first asked a $15-a-
week increase, then dropped the
figure to $3.50 a week.
In addition, the union obtained
reinstatement of the union shop
and a $2-a-month company con-
tribution to disqualification costs.
The company also agreed to
adjust its night differentiai to the
save level as that in the Inter-
national News Service contract.
The company statement men
toned no dollars and cents figure,
However, the union said the
night differential djustme n
means $1.19 a week more to any
teletype operator who works be-
fore z am. or after pm.
The union estimated the gains
totaled $500 week.
The 265 strikers earlier this
week turned down the same terms
except for the night differential,
which was inserted in the strike
settling agreement.
The U. p. operators and tele-
type maintenance men averaged
in base pay $50 for a 371a-hour
week before the strike.

most DruC0lly-
than President Truman had done
the day before in his optimistic
statement that we are closer to
peace today than we have been
for five years.
Mr.. Acheson made no bones
about the likelihood-which is
being admitted more and more in
Washington-that the attempt to
arm Europe adequately for de-
tense against Communist aggres-
sion is going to cost untold billions
of dollars. In fact, the final total
cannot even be estimated at the
present time. Certainly 1t is going
to run far beyond the five billions
which it was originally estimated
the rearmament Of Europe would
cost.
Mr.. Achesorf's assertion thst the
arms cost very likely will go be-
yond the 81 billion yearly now
being asked unless the interna-
tional climate improves was not
an attempt to scare anybody, but
it was an attempt to place honest
ly before the American people and
their legislators the real prospect
which we face.

easing Of the present staggering

prospective increasing amounts
which will be necessary for foreign
arms aid will, in all likelihood,
have to be matched by similar
increases in American defense
spending. The net result will be
a further struggle between deficit
spending to meet the cost or at
tempting to pay our way by in
creasing - rather than decreas-
ing-taxes.

ident to say that we are closer
to peace now than we have been
for five years at a time when he
himself is painting the worldwide
threat Of aggression and request
ing more than 81 billion for for
eign arms aid looks very contra
dictory to poor Joe Citizen who
reads the papers every day and
is trying to understand what
goes on.
The explanation is, of course,
the Presidents confidence that
our present level of defense spend
ing-both for ourselves and for
our Allies-and the defensive
readiness Of our own forces are
adequate to meet the rising chal-
lenge Of communism. He is say
ing. in effect, "Give us what we
feel we need and are asking for
and we can be assured of adequate
defense against a Soviet attack. "
The whole basis of his optimism
is open to serious question and will
be torn apart as reaction rises to
our growing defense burden. We
actually are not now. and cannot
within any reasonable time-un-
less we go into 6 tremendous de-
fense expansion programme ade-
quately prepared to meet q So
Wet attack; that is, meet it at the
point where it occurs with suffi-
cient force to defeat 1t. Nor are
cur allies adequately prepared now
to do their part in the common
defense. It is going to take years
to bring them to the point where
they can fight effectively.
Real Potential Stated.
What we are actually prepared
to do-and it is foolhardy to look
at ourselves in any other light
is to meet the first shock of an at
tack with sufficient force to delay
it, and then to build up, over a
period of months, fighting force
which can take the field with some
hope of winning.
In every branch of military ef-
fort-except naval-the Russians
and their satellites by combining
their forces can throw almost
overwhelming strength into the
field. Ip both ground forces and
air forces we are now inferior in
power, and cannot hope to be
otherwise for long time.
This weakness Of our present
situation is in itself an invitation
to aggression. And time is not
working on our side. It always
works on the side of those who
have the initiative and know what
to do with it.
We can. by the Sternest kind of
exertion, hold up our end of this
ornaments race in which we have
become involved entirely against
our will. But it is going to cost
billions-at this point unknown
billionS-of dollars.

Big Business Man Doesn't Enjoy
Being Half Billion Dollars in Red

in April, with consequences just
now beginning to be left. This
followed the failure Of the depart
ment to persuade Congress that
postal rates should be raised in
several important categories. Now
further curtailment, to a degree
that the Postmaster General fears
will be literally disastrous. is in
dicated. This results from Taber-
Jensen amendments to the gen.
eral or omnibus appropriation bill,
which did not spare the Post Of
flee Department. Under these
amendments. unless the Senate
eliminates them, the total num-
ber of employees must be reduced
by 10 per cent and no more than
10 per cent of any vacancies oc-
curing in any year may be filled.

ate Appropriations Committee the
wreckage that will result from the

action may be rescinded.
The Post Office, however, would
still have to find ways and means
of cutting down it's big deficit, and
it can conceive of no method ex-
cept that of raising postal rates,
Testifying before the Senate Post
Office Committee in April, Mr..
Donaldson said:
"The excess expenditures over
revenues derived from low rev.

more than a subsidy and these
subsidies now being enjoyed are
almost equal to the entire postal
