Clio Electric Workers
Hint for Fact-Findinq
Board in GE Dispute

The CLOS Electrical Workers
limited today that President Tru-
man could ease the dispute at
General Electric Co.'S strike jit-
terry defense plants by naming q
fact-finding board.
Such a board could look into
the contract battle which already
has idled $4,000 members Of the
CLOS International Union of
Electrical Workers and threatens
to send another $4,000 out on
strike If Government peace ef-
forts fail.
James B. Carey, administrative
chairman Of the IUE, said the
union was hoping that meetings
called today by Federal Mediator
Cyrus S. Ching would bring about
a settlement.
But If those sessions don't help,
Mr.. Carey said he would recon-
mend appointment of a presiden-
tial fact-finding board to investi-
gate the issues and recommend q
solution.
Mr.. Carey told a news confer
ence the IUE would agree to be
bound by the boards report If
General Electric would make a
similar advance commitment. He
added, however, that the company
once rejected an offer to arbi-
trate.
A decision whether the addi-
tional members will strike or not
will be made by the conference
board representing AZ units in
General Electric plants, Mr.. Carey
told reporters.
That board. with about 50 mem
bers, will be at hotel during and
after the conciliation sessions to
be attended by Mr.. Carey and ths
1UE negotiating committee.
The union is asking for pack
age" Of contract concessions total
ling IS cents an hour. The COM
pany has offered the equivalent of
a 10-cent hike, but has refused to
assume the employees share of hos
pital and pension payments.
Other Issues Also.
Mr.. Carey said there were many
more issues, such as liberalized va.
cations; two additional paid holi-
days each year including election
day; restoration of cost of Living
raise increases and a profit shar-
ing program. both of which were
dropped when the company grant,
ed other wage demands a few
years ago.
More than two thirds of the
auto industry now is committed to
the plan of paying wage increases
wnen the Governments cost-of-
living index rises-and cutting
them when it falls.
The IUE has a contract with
General Motors providing for the
same thing. Mr.. Carey said both
GIN and Westinghouse, other big
TUE employers. have made agree
ments of 80 days each pending
settlement of the GE dispute.
The GE controversy is bitter
enough in itself. but underlying it
is the drive by Mr.. Carey's union
to grab bargaining rights in the
whole electrical manufacturing in
dustry away from the United Elec-
trical Workers. The CIO expelled
the UE 10 months ago on charges
u following the Communist pro-
gram instead Of CIO policy.

Bigger Burdens Face Taxpayers
After Final Victory in Korea

ing IN Korea, washington re"
affirms. Korea was the straw that
broke the back Of the democracies'
patience. From now on they are
re-arming. g..
For the United States, this
means that the present $14-billion-
a-year defense bill will be boosted
to $50 billion by next summer.
Some think it will go to $40 bill
lion the following year, perhaps
to $50 billion.
Program Hasn't Started.
The important thing to remem-
Der is that the program hasn't
really started yet. You've scarcely
felt it yet, either as a consumer
or as a merchant or manufac-
turer.
Let's leave the special problems
of the businessman till tomorrow,
and look at what economists, as
well as Washington officials, say
is in store for everyone. If the end
Of the Korean war doesn't re-
verse public support for the re-
armament program to which we
are committed:
l. Taxes. Less take-home-pay,
starting next week. Even less next
year. The drive to "pay as we go"
is going to be tougher on your
pocketbook than you now realize,
says Treasury Secretary Snyder.
2. Prices. Living costs are going
up. the Commerce Department
predicts today. Already near the
1948 peak, prices in general will
go still higher-both for food and
manufactured goods. the depart
ment says.
Controls Due Soon.
3. Controls. Government con-
trolls "are not too long away" says
Commerce Secretary Sawyer.
Some think price controls are due
early next year. unless commodity
prices break sharply with the col
lapse Of the Reds in Korea-and
stay down. which many think un-
likely. Wage controls may follow,
to halt the inflationary spiral.
4. Credit curbs. Present mild
restrictions on installment buying
are likely to be frightened further
before the year is over to make
it really tough to buy on the cuff.
New restrictions on home mortga-
ges may be clamped on even
sooner.
5. Homes. It will grow harder
and costlier to finance the build
ing Of new home. Defense plants
will take more copper. zinc, steel
and lumber. Only one-third as
many homes will be started next
year as are being built this year,
the Commerce Department thinks.
The National Retail Lumber Deal
ers' Association, however, believes
the home-building boom will de-
fate so rapidly that within two
months there will be more lum-
Der than the public will buy.
Rush To Build inventories.
6. Goods in the stores. The
rush to build UP inventories of
consumer goods has swamped
some manufacturers with orders.
But If the defense program really
gets into high gear next year. pro-
duction Of civilian goods will be
slowed. s..s.-,ss-.
For one thing. there Rili be
short supplies Of steel. copper,
aluminium. rubber. nylon and SO
on. for purely civilian production.
Defense production will have first
call.
For another, factories making
purely civilian goods will lose labor
to factories making war goods.
Industry after industry has as
sured us that it can meet the de-
mands Of defense and fill all the
essential needs Of civilians-if the
defense program doesn't go beyond
announced plans.
But the frills will be trimmed

How often some vital project is left

Clark Griffith did in Priddys case Coan has

half century has not been merely high

the ideals of all classes of people. The
democracy of the Library of Congress, the
Smithsonian Institution. the National and
Corcoran and Phillips Galleries of Art is
an inclusive development And this prin-

the National Symphony Orchestra. The
most important musical organization of
the Nations Capital is definitely popular

community and 1t represents community
responsibility and a community opportu-

Large numbers of Washington men and
women are familiar with this fact and
need not be persuaded of it's merit. They
have helped to meet the cost of building
the orchestra from it's beginning under Dr.
Hans Kindler's direction two decades ago.
The majority of them will contribute again
this year because they wish the cause of
music as peoples art to prosper here in
the Federal center of the United States.
These friends want to cooperate with the
orchestra management to the end that the
standard winter season of great music may
be continued indefinitely, the free chill
dren's concerts and the free neighborhood
concerts repeated and the summer concerts
at the Watergate made permanent. The
goal of the 1850 drive is $190,000-a sum
much smaller than other cities raise for
their orchestral enterprises.
But the objective this year ought not to
