a sizeable dent in the unsightly
temporary Federal buildings that
blight the Washington landscape
Commissioner of Public Build

building has top priority on his
construction list. 1t is being
held up by the current freeze on
major Government projects.
The building will be con-
structed, when Congress grants
the funds. on land already owned
by the Government west of the
present State Department at
Twenty first street and Virginia
avenue NV. Detailed working
drawings have never been COM
pleted, but it is estimated the
structure would cost between $50
and $50 million.
Construction of the building on
on the site between Twenty
second and Twenty-third streets,
c and D streets NV, would
eliminate four large temporary
buildings now there and permit
the State Department to vacate
four others and some smaller
tempos in the area.

Eat and Stay Thin Motto
Of County Reducing Group

eat and Stay Thin" is the mot
to of a reducing group in Mont
gomery County, according to Mrs.
Mary Hawkes., PIN, who is the
organizer and promoter of the
group. Mrs. Hawkes. goes on to
say that ten persons, mostly from
the upper part of the County, in
terested in this problem constitute
the members whose weights vary
from $50 to 265 lbs.
This weighty problem has been
attacked by this group through an
educational approach. The films,
Losing to Win" and "Obesity",
were shown; a physical education
teacher presented exercises for the
prevention of fiabby muscles; and
physician discussed diets and the
dangers of overweight. Group
therapy or discussions and partici-
patton have been a major factor
in the loss of weight accomplished
by all the members. The listing of
daily diets on the blackboard and
discussing the missing basic foods
have proved to be a motivating
tool for each member. Another ap-
proach used, which has been of
value, is the keeping of individual
weight graphs from week to week,
indicating each PERSONS progress.
There have been several low-cal-
orie dinners, each member prepar-
ing a low calorie food.

Organized labor had a busy
year in 1852 with the two-month
steel strike taking the biggest
headlines.
But the deaths of presidents of
both the AFL and CIO heralded
Ia changing Of the guard among
labor leaders.
A third event of important sig
|nif1cance to labor was the all-out
union drive to elect a Democratic
President, an effort that failed
These three situations topped
labor developments for the year.
The steel contract negotiations,
beginning late in 1851, continued
until past the middle of 1852.
The steel struggle was a classic
|one-a knockdown, dragout battle
jail the way, famed by daily pub
|licity blasts from both the union
and industry contenders.
Taft Law Avoided.
President Truman decided not
to invoke the court injunction
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
law to stop the steel walkout.
Instead, he let the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board recommend settlement
terms.
When the WSB finally made its
suggestions. industry widely criti-
|cized them as far too generous,
but WSB members defended them
as fair.
The windup, after the longest
steel strike in history ended in
July. was that the CIO Steel
workers Union accepted terms
less than the WSB had recon-
|mended. The two-year contract
called for 21.5 cents boost in
wages and other benefits.
Seizure Of the steel industry
and Government threats to i'm
pose the WSB's full recommends
tions on the seized industry
brought widespread criticism of
Mr.. Truman's handling of the
affair.
The Supreme Court finally held
in a 6-3 decision that Mr.. Tru-
mans seizure was unconstitutional.
It steered clear, however, of clearly
defining presidential powers in
severe labor strikes.
Philip Murray Dies.
Philip Murray, president Of both
the CIO and it's steelworkers'
union, died November 9 in San
Francisco. His passing was closely
followed on November 81 by the
death of AFL President William

ito Mr.. Green's job as AFL presi-
dent. The CIO chose Walter Reu-
ther. head Of the big automobile
workers union. to succeed Mr..
Murray.
Employment continued at high
levels for most of 1852. The cost
OF living kept at near lecord levels
all year. Wages went up too, with
average weekly earnings for fac
tory workers hitting a record high
in September at $1,000.
There were lot of strikes, but
idleneSS was nowhere near the 1946
record level. Besides the steel
strike, walkouts in coal, telegram,
telephone, oil and railroad indus
tries were notable.
Unusual Strike.
One unusual strike was the 81

10000 Prudential Life Insurance

and longest strike by white collar"
workers in the Nations history.

strike, other than a To-day me

contract. However, the industry
and union leader Lewis ran into
trouble in getting the WSB to ap-
prove the $1.90 per day negotiated
pay raise. President Truman final
