The Points of Contention!

DURATION OF CONTRACT The employers seek
the customary two-year contract, to follow the
established precedent of previous contracts and
the pattern of current contracts with the ten other
unions in the graphic arts industry The Union
insists on a one-year contract ending February H.
1854, less than months away
WAGES The employers offered $5 week in
crease in wages (making the hourly scale S2.746,
or $1OS for the 371a-h0ur week) with further in.
crease of loo per week on February 10, 1854 The
union asked 81 per week increase in wages, MAX
ing the hourly wage scale $3.50 or $1O5 for the
S7a hour week.
RETROACTIvE PAY The Union demands that
the 81 per week increase be paid for each week back
to February IL, 1858. In the pre-strike negOtia-
tiOns, the employers agreed to pay the $5 weekly
increase back to that date, provided the new con-
tract was signed before May II, which the Union
refused to do.
PAID VACATIONS The employers offered to con.
tinue the paid holidays and the same vacation
privileges given in the previous cOntract-twO

Eisenhower Move
To Block Battle on
Air Force Cuts Seen
By the Associated Press

Senator Ferguson, Republican
OF Michigan. indicated yesterday
that President Eisenhower's mil
itary prestige will be invoked in
an effort to quell a threatened
senatorial rebellion against pro-
posed Air Force money cuts.
Senator Ferguson'S observa-
ton came as some Republicans
appeared ready to join Demo-
Gratis in protesting against the
administrators decision to slash
SIS billion off the Air Force ap-
preparations asked by former
President Truman.
Among these G. o. P. members,
Senator Young of North Dakota
said he fears the proposed econ
omies will leave the United
States with an Air Force inferior
to Russia's land I don't think
we can afford to let that hap
pen"
I'VE can't match the Russians
in the number of men they can
put into armies but we can GER
tainly do it in the air and
should" he declared.
Sees Building Speeding.
Senator Ferguson, who heads
q Senate Appropriations sub
committee considering defense
requests, said he believes the
facts to be brought out in hear
ings will demonstrate that the
Air Force will be built up faster
under the Eisenhower adminis-
tration's program than under
plans laid down by the Truman
administration.
"I believe that when the facts
are all known, most of the Sena-
tors will go along with the Presi-
dent on this because he is a mill
tary expert and his judgment
must be trusted" the Michigan
Senator said.
There were signs that some
Republican members of the sub
committee other than Senator
Young were critical of the pro-
posed cuts.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican, of Maine, addressed
a series of sharp questions to
Secretary of Defense Wilson.
Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota, said his support or
opposition to the cut would de-
pend on clearer answers by
Pertagon officials to vital ques-
tions about aircraft costs and
other matters.
Democrats Out in Open.
Led by Senators Hill of Ala
bama and Maybank of South
Carolina, Democrats already are
out in the open with their battle
against the Eisenhower admin
istration's recommended slaShes.
Senator Maybank has de-
manded that Gen. Hoyt s. VAN
denberg, retiring Air Force chief,
and Gen. Carl Spaatz, former
head, be called for testimony.
Senator Maybank said in a
letter to Senator Ferguson that
Secretary Wilson was doing. good
work in trying to cut expenses,
except for the reduction in the
number of proposed Air Force
wings Senator Maybank said
would be caused by the appro-
priation cut-back.
Mr.. Wilson told the commit
tee previously that Gen. Van
denberg had been present as a
representative of the Joint |
Chiefs of Staff when the Ma
tional Security Council decided |
on the air money cut. But he
conceded that Gen. Vandenberg
never had approved the reduc-
tions. Senator Ferguson said he
would call both Gen. Vandenberg
and Gen. Spaatz.

Then soldiers set fire to the

She then told how she man

Committee Reopens
Hearing on Talbot
Despite Approval

The Senate Armed Services
Committee yesterday reopened
hearings on the nomination of
Harold E. Talbot for Air Force
Secretary although the commit
tee has already approved his
nomination.
At the request of Senator Ke-
fauver. Democrat, of Tennessee,
the committee requested Mr.
Talbot to return at 1890 am.
tomorrow for further questioning
on two matters that were men
toned in earlier hearings.
Compiled by Hughes.
One is the report prepared
many years ago by the late
Charles Evans Hughes on air.
craft production in World War
I. when Mr.. Talbot and his
father were connected with one
of the companies producing
planes for that war.
The second issue raised by
Senator Kefauver is the report
of a House committee two years
ago on procurement practices OF
companies selling automotive
parts to the Government.
These reports" said Senator
Kefauver, raised questions OF
public policy, which are impor-
tant to have clarified and about
which I would like to ask Mr..
Talbot"
Senator Kefauver withheld his
approval of Mr.. Talbot when the
committee voted Thursday. He
said today it is his desire, If
possible, to vote for all OF the
Eisenhower appointments, but
he feels a responsibility to vote
judiciously.
Generators Involved.
One section of the auto report
said the Chrysler Corp. offered
the Government 1000 generators
for $77.2O each, the offer of the
Electric Auto-Lite Co. was $87
and investigators reported that
Auto-Lite previously sold the
same generator to Chrysler for
$50 each.

apparently was a custom OF a
parts manufacturer not to bid

Unionists Are Silent
On Move 10 Delay
Living Index Change
By the Associo,ed Press

DETROIT. Jan. 31.-Walter
Reuther and the CIO Auto
Workers kept an official silence
today on President Eisenhower's
decision on the cost of living
index.
Mr.. Reuther, CIO president,
who also heads the big auto
union. viii be making no state
ment "at the present time" one
of his aides said.
Speculation arose, meanwhile,
that Mr.. Reuther will take his
cue for any future steps from
his huddle next week with the
CLOS top command. The CLOS
executive board meets in Wash
ington.
Involved in the presidential
order are the wages of the IL
million members of Mr.. Reuth-
er's Auto Workers union whose
pay is tied to escalator clauses.
Old List Revived.
President Eisenhower ordered
a revival until June 80 of the old
Government cost of living index
after it had once been
abandoned for a new index.
Another wage adjustment for
the auto workers is due in
March under the cost OF. living
escalator.
Mr.. Reuther had wanted the
new index to be applied. This
would have given his union a
wedge in it's efforts to reopen its
five-year wage contract in the
industry. These run until the
sr'''on and summer of 1855.
The union has been hopeful
Of renegotiating on wages and
pensions, in particular. in the
light of general economic
changes since 1852.
The effect of President Eisen-
hower's order, at least on the
surface. was to delay the union
maneuver. Industry and other
labor groups, including the AFL.
favored the revival of the old
index.
New One Based on 47-'49.
The old index is based on the
Governments cost-of- living fig
ures for the 1858 period. The
new index is based on the 1947-
49 period. The new index is
described as a "modernized"
version.
Mr.. Reuther's auto workers
are alone among the larger
units of the CIO to hold esca-
lator contracts. In CIO circles
the cost-of- living index is con-
ceded to be primarily a UAW
problem.
For a period of weeks the
auto union has been in nego-
tiations with Ford, General Mo-
tors and ChrySler. big three Of
the auto industry, over transi-
ton to the new index when and
If it is to be applied.
These negotiations are ex-
pected to continue, both union
and company sources said.
Mr.. Reuther returned from
the East today, only to make
preparations to go back almost
Immediately. Next week he will
go to both Washington and
New York.
1t was felt unlikely that he
would pay another White House
visit. Asked If Mr.. Reuther
would have a meeting with

spokesman said there was none
