Both Unions Reject
6E's Proposal for
'Five-Year Contract
ey the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, June 28.-TwC
major electrical unions told the
General Electric Co. yesterday
that the terms of its proposed five
year contract were inadequate and
required more negotiation.
The company made its offer to
the international Union OF
Electrical Workers and to the in
dependent United Electrical
Radio and Machine Workers
which represent about 10000 OF
GE's 10000 working force. and
to other smaller unions.
General Electric's proposal was
for a 3 per cent wage raise and
expanded pension and insurance
programs.
Carey Calls Plan Substandard.
James B. Carey. head of the
newly formed IUE, said the wage
offer was not enough and that
the pension plan fell far below
proper standards"
The UE negotiating committee
also disliked the proposal. and
added:
THE five-year agreement is of
such character that whatever
gains are received by GE en-
ployeS. these gains in effect would
be negotiated away if the union
should agree to the company's S
contract terms"
The two unions, almost evenly
divided in strength, are bitter
rivals. The IUE was formed to
replace the UE after the latter
was ousted from the CIO on COM
munist charges.
In its contract proposal. GE
suggested that units be allowed to
transfer their union allegiance
without losing contract status.
Would Improve Standards.
The company said no worker
would receive less than a Accent
hourly raise. The pension system
would remain contributory. but
would be improved from the en-
ployes standpoint.
Workers would pay 2 per cent
Of their first $4,000 earnings into
the plan and per cent on the
balance. The company would pay
the rest.
The social security package Of
fered was minimum life insurance
of $4,000 with an average of $4.-
500. and accidental death benefit
of $4,000. Sickness payments
would be a maximum of $35 for
26 weeks, with hospital and sur
gical benefits.
The company estimated the
worker would pay about one third
Of the cost of the programs.

ports indicated. the spokesman
said that they had from 100 to
$50 aircraft.
An Air Force spokesman said
that up to last midnight CKorean
time) its planes had flown %
sorties with transports to evacuate
+748 American nationals. He said
the transports were escorted by
tF-80 and F-82 fighters. AS of
last midnight a total Of nine
North Korean planes had been
knocked down, eight Of them by
American aircraft and three of
those in the vicinity of Seoul after
President Truman's directive.
49,. Artillery Is Light. ''.'''
Another spokesman advised the
brief1ng session that the Southern
forces were almost entirely
equipped with material left by
United States forces after the oc-
cupation. This material included
light artillery.
He reported a speedup in the
program to ship the South Koreans
equipment now in this country.
A Navy spokesman said that
there had been no naval action to
date.
He said that the weather had,
been very poor and made recon-
naiSSance hazardous. The same
spokesman said that the North
Koreans have no submarines and
that no Russian ships had been
sighted in the area to date.
Meanwhile. the Navy moved
swiftly to assemble a second Pa
cific task force as it's 7th fleet
patrolled the Formosa Strait and
the waters off Southern Korea.
Decisions Up to Macarthur.
A spokesman was unable to say
whether the Navy would be as
signed to eliminate the four groups
of Communist troops which al
ready have landed but. said that il
probably would be possible since
the invaders are not believed to be
equipped to resist any such at
tacks.
Pentagon officials emphasized
that decisions on such tactics were
entirely up to Gen. Macarthur
who has sole direction of the
operation. and the commander he
names for the Southern Korean
operation.
/ The Army spokesman said that
Maj. Gen. John H. Church, for
merly stationed at Frederick, Md.
a National Guard instructor and
World War II assistant COM
mander of the 84th division, had
been named head of the South
Korean Military Advisory group.
The announcement cleared up
some speculation about Gen.
Church. who was only recently
nominated for major general,
since some press dispatches from
the Far East area had mentioned
that he likely would be named
overall commander of the South
Korean operations. During World
War I, Gen. Church was on the
staff of Gen. John j. Pershing

April is noted for great ex- plorer, Commander Robert E. Peary, who discovered the North Pole on April 6, 1909.
 Robert E. Peary was born in Crcsson, Pennsylvania. He be came a lieutenant and a civil en- eineer in the U. 5. Navy. At one time he directed a survey of proposed canal through Nicara- qua. This project was followed by a trip to Greenland in 1886. From that time on, he devoted his time to explorations in the Arctic. In 1891, he led polar expedition to northwest Greenland. Four other expeditions were taken in later years. On one of thees trips he discovered the Cape York Eski- mos, the most northerly people in the world. Peary proved that Greenland was an island. He found three huge meteorites, one of which is now in the Museum of Natural History in New York City. His wife accompanied him on several trips and his daughter, Marie, was born in northwest Greenland.
 In 1908, he used the ship Roose- welt built especially for the Arc tic. Six men made the final dash of 40 miles to the pole. The party remained thirty hours making ob- sercations. From Newfoundland he flashed the message Stars and Stripes nailed to the POle-Peary." :" He was promoted to a rank of rear admiral. Three books have been written by him, namely, CD NorthWard over the Great Ice, @ The North Pole C3) Secrets of Polar Travel.
 We are all happy that Isaac Larson has recovered from his ill., ness and is doing good work at school again.
 Peter KoWchee had the miSfOr- tune of burning his face by an eX- plosion. He has been in the hos pital for one week and is now rapidly recovering. There. per haps, will be no permanent scars on his face.

1850 Fishing Regulations

WASHINGTON - Power boats in the Bristol Bay region will be permitted during the 1851 fishing season, according to the Alaska commercial fishing regulations issued recently by the Interior De partment. This permission, which will apply to boats less than 32 feet in length, has been long sought by Delegate Bartlett and other interested persons.
 Motors will be allowed in gill net fishing boats in the KOtzebue- Yukon -Kuskokwim area this year, as well as in the Chignik area of the Alaska Peninsula region for the first time in the history of the modern Alaska fishery.
 Operators will be required to give notice to the Fish and Wild life Service before moving to a new fishing area or district, which the Service states is desirable so that accurate statistics may be kept on the amount of fishing gear in operation in each district for effective management of fisheries.
 Among other regulations are:
 1. King salmon trolling in out side Alaska waters will be pro- hibited from November l to Mar. IS and coho trolling will be ban ned from October 31 to June IS.
 2. Fall trolling closure in inside Alaska waters will extend from September 20 to October 5. This season has been shortened, ac- cording to Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice, to conform with the special seining season which opens in seV- eral places in southeastern Alas ka on October 5.
 3. The taking of undersized king salmon will be prohibited by all forms of gear, not just by trolling methods as previously ap- piled.
 4. King crab in Boring Sea will have to be one inch wider to be taken legally The old minimum width was 512 inches which has been increased to 612 inches.
 5. In the Bristol Bay area, meth ods of marking and registering fishing boats have been amended to require that the numbers and letters be at least 12 inches high and that each boat be lettered to indicate the district in which it operates. Boats must be registered with the Fish and Wildlife service prior to the fishing season and must be re-registered in advance of moving to another district. It will be illegal to set any net at a distance greater than l50 yards from the mean high tide mark.
 According to the Service, the regulations for 1850 in this area
 are based on a recommended maximum of 426 drift gill net boats operating in the entire Bris- tol Bay area.

LIVERY year. with the approach of winter.
IL US. weather expert Louis P. Harrison,
OF the Technical Investigations Section. of
the Weather Bureau, Washington, D. c.. is
showed under with queries about snow.
Earliest to pour in. invariably, are those from
Northerners heading south for the winter.
Their question: how far south do they have
to 60 to avoid snow?
The answer is. pretty far - despite glowing
promises made by enthusiastic Chambers of
Commerce 1t has showed in Alabama,
Louisiana and Florida. In the winter of
l948-49 the average January snowfall was the
greatest on record in Southern California.
1t has even showed bit in Phoenix, Ariz.
As for the other questions, Harrison has an
answer for everything. 1t once showed five
feet in day at Giant Forest, Calf. Other
extra-heavy falls on record include two-day
fall of AZ inches, at Angola, N. Y, in 1927,
and 54 inches in three days in 1921 at The
Dalles, Ore. Four days? Well, Vanceboro,

puted championship. Back in the winter of

Harrison is UNDERSTANDABLE tolerant about
"proverb" forecasting. Few popular snow
adages, however. are accurate. Take the one
about snow falling after new moon. 1t may
melt soon or it may not. There is no con-
nection between snow and the phases of the
