Richard Bales and the National

crosstown to regale the patrons

fine concert. The clean. bright
sound of the orchestra in this

.FTC Controls Claims
OF Soil Conditioners
BY the Assoeiofed Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has issued trade practice
rules designed to protect pur-
chasers against false claims in
the sale OF recently developed
chemical soil conditioners.
The materials have been Of
fered as aids in improving the
resistance of soil to surface
crusting and In improving its
ease of cultivation.
Under the rules, issued yes
terday, it is declared to be a de-
ceptive trade practice to make
such representations as these:
/. That the conditioner will
effect a beneficial crop response
in every type Of soil.
2. That 1t Is a substitute, in
any significant degree, for nutri-
ent material.
3. That it is a complete sub
stitute for added natural organic
matter.
4. That it will effect an ap-
preciable change Of the soil tex
ture.
5. That it will permanently ex-
ert a conditioning effect upon a
treated soil.
The commission also declared
it to be an unfair trade practice
to represent or imply that such
products will effectively treat
soils by surface application.

Speed Merger Plans
BY The Assoei1.ed Press

AFL and CIO leaders have
agreed to put aside organizing
rivalries for the time being and
work out a merger of the two
big labor groups as fast as pos
sible."
Presidents George Meany Of
the AFL and Walter Reuther Of
the CIO talked optimistically
yesterday Of completing an actual
merger plan within the next few
months. They said special AFL
and CIO ratifying conventions
may then be called. followed by
a joint AFL.CIO convention to
complete the proposed amalga-
nation.
Mr.. Reuther conceded, how
ever. that I'VE still have a great
deal of work to do" But both
he and Mr.. Meany maintained
the 'AFL and CIO leadership is
determined to go ahead with
the merger.
Is Million Members, .
It would bring nearly Is mil
lion union members under q
single banner-with the idea Of
strengthening union labor's eco
nomic and political power.
Two decisions were made to-
day by aine-man committees
representing the two organiza-
tions:
/. Each Is to name a three
member subcommittee to work
out a proposed new constitu-
ton for the merged setup. This
would include machinery for
settling rivalries over which un-
ion should represent various
types of workers.
2. Such existing organizing
rivalries will be held in abey-
ance until after the merger.
The integrity" of each union
under the merged arrangement
would be guaranteed. This was
explained to mean that no AF'L
or CIO union would lose part
of its present membership.
Concentrate on Merger.
"We don't contemplate trying
to resolve the conflicts that now
exist" Mr.. Reuther said. What
we are going to do is work out
machinery for a merger and a
method for resolving problems
after the merger comes about"
1t was reported that the three
man AFL subcommittee to work
out merger details will include
