PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19.-
Many residents of the Pitts
burgh district are going to find
photographs of their Christmas
gifts under the tree this year
instead of the gifts.
Just when the actual gifts will
be delivered is a matter of con-

It's all because of a crippling
strike of several AFL unions
against the five biggest depart
ment stores which cater to more
than a million and a half resi-
dents in the metropolitan Pitts
burgh area.
All of the department stores
are doing whatever they can

Congress TO Tackle
State-FederaI Role
In Labor Disputes
More Conferences on
Tuft-HortIey Changes
Set for This Week
By james Y. Newton

The question of Federal and
State jurisdiction to control un-
ion activities and a proposal to
liberalize the minimum wage law
have become paramount issues in
the administrations drafting OF
a new labor legislation program.
Actually, the question of what
labor management activities
should be covered by Federal
law and where State jurisdiction
should take over in this compli-
Gated field has been a thorny
problem all along in White
House efforts to work out amend
ments to the Taft-Hartley Act
for submission to Congress.
But decision of the Supreme
Court last Monday moved the
problem sharply to the forefront.
In fact, the subject was dis
cussed at such length at the
White House legislative confer
ence Thursday on revising Taft
Hartley. that little attention was
given other points in President
Eisenhower's labor program.
More White House Meetings.
Further meetings of White
House staffers and Secretary of
Labor Mitchell will be held this
week. Later, congressional lead
ers, probably including Senator
Smith of New Jersey. and Rep
resentative Mcconnell of Penn
sylvania, chairmen of the Senate
and House Labor Committees, will
be called into the conferences.
The Supreme Court ruled un-
animously that State courts lack
the power to handle aspects
of labor management disputes
where Taft Hartley gives juris-
diction to the National Labor
Relations Board. In the case, a
lower Pennsylvania court issued
an injunction to prevent union
picketing which virtually closed
down operations of a trucking
firm. The State Supreme Court
reversed the decision and was up
held by the Supreme Court Mon
day.
Whether the picketing was in
violation of Taft Hartley was not
ruled on by the NLRB and the
courts. There is heavy pressure
in Congress to give the States
wider jurisdiction in labor rela-
tions matters, particularly with
respect to picketing, situations
developing in strikes and in GER
tain union boycott situations.

Big ; 10 Offer Russia
Security Pact Tied 10
German Unification
Reds to Be Challenged
To Accept Berlin Treot,
As Port of Guarantees
By John M. Hiohtower
Associated Press Stoff Writer

The United States is prepar-
ing to join Britain and France
in offering security guarantees
to Russia-provided these are
part of package solution of the
problems of German unification
and German peace treaty.
The precise way in which the
security assurances might be
given is one of the subjects set
for discussion among repre-
Sentatives of the three Western
powers. They are now meeting in
Paris to prepare joint positions
for the proposed four power ses-
sion in Berlin that would include
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov.
French Ambassador Henri
Bonnet conferred with Secretary
Of State Dulles and Assistant
Secretary Livingston Merchant
for about IS minutes at the State
Department yesterday on prob
lens of the Paris and Berlin
meetings.
Challenge to Russians.
Officials here said the Paris
meeting is concerned not only
with the security question-on
which Prime Minister Churchill
spoke to the British Parliament
Thursday-but also and much
more Importantly with the de-
velopment of a set of proposals
for German unity and peace
which the Russians will be chal-
lenged to accept. One informant
said the United States Govern
ment feels that the Western
powers must have a positive ap-
proach" to the Berlin meeting
The West has proposed that
the meeting begin January 4.
The Soviet Government has not
yet said whether that date is
agreeable.
Mr.. Churchill indicated to
Parliament that he had some
success in persuading President
Eisenhower to accept his ideas
about anti-aggression guaran-
tees when they met at Beremuda
early this month with French
Premier Joseph Laniel.
U. S. Policy Unchanged.
Officials here said United
States policy remains unchanged
by the Bermuda meeting. They
said it takes into account:
/. Russia may have a real fear
about a revival of German mill
tary power.
2. Therefore, in connection
with proposed steps for arming
Germany in the Western camp,
Moscow could and probably
should be given guarantees that
military strength would not be
aggreSsively used against the
Soviet Union.
Secretary of State Dulles out
lined this policy to a news con-
ference october 6. At the same
time he rejected any thought of
general treaty of non-aggres-
sion with Russia, saying the
United Nations charter is in fact
a non-aggreSsion pact with the
Soviet Union.

is launching a nationwide in

there is any false and mislead-

disability, by insurers using the
United States mail resulting
IN buyers of such insurance be-
ing deceived by false and mis-
leading representations as to the

Mr.. HoWrey urged State au-
thoritieS, the business community
and the public generally to CO.
operate with the FTC in its in

The study will not extend to
intra- State insurance activities

the meaning of the McCarran

ments and will refer to those Off

Promptly Corrected.

FT!C Opens Nationwide Probe
OfHospitdIizdtionPIun Claims

The Federal Trade Commission
noted that individual and group
health and accident insurance
has seen a significant growth in
the past 10 years. 1t is estimated
that 91.5 million people in the
United States have some form
of hospital expense protection,
73 million some form of Surgi-
cal protection and nearly SO
million some form of medical
expense protection.
A total of 800 companies now
sell accident and health insur-
ance in the United States. This
compares with about so COM
panies in 1925. In 1852, the 800
companies received almost SIG
billion in net premiums. This
represents an increase of 206
per cent over 1946.
