new bill as a "watered down"
substitute for the original meas

such a reserve. He emphasized

Mr.. Vinson explained. 1T is a

upon the manpower obtained
through the draft and the vol
unteer method. The same rules
of deferment and exemption will
continue to apply"
The main objective of the new

proximately 90 million men who
have had at least two years OF
active duty. Besides reducing the
total active and reserve duty OBJ

the bill also provides:

composed of individuals who
have been inducted or who en-
listed in the armed services after
July 81, 1858. Thus, any man
who served on active duty during
the fighting in Korea will not
have a mandatory ready reserve
obligation.
Q. A man vino serves on active
duty for two years would be re-
quired to participate for three
years in the ready reserve with
periodic drills and other train
ing. A man who serves three
years on active duty would have
to be in the ready reserve for
two years more. A man who
serves four years on active duty
would need only one year in the
ready reserve.
3. Members of the ready re-
serve would be required to at
tend at least 48 drills each year

Closer controls over the purse

Much government spending
now is on the basis of authorize

Big Steel Plans
Pay Raise Offer
Later in Week

| PITTSBURGH, June 20 (P).-
The United States Steel Corp.
said today it will offer the CIO
United Steelworkers' Union "a
wage increase which we hope
will result in a speedy and mu-
tual settlement of our negotia-
Itions."
The offer will be made later
this week, Vice President John
stephens, head of Big Steel's
negotiators. announced.
Big Steel and the union re-
sumed wage talks for two hours
teday. then recessed until later
this week.
United States Steel's offer will
be made at the next meeting.
Both Mr.. Stephens and David
j. Mcdonald, union president.
said they will set a date after
Mr.. Mcdonald meets with other
steel firms tomorrow.
Mr.. Stephens said the corpora
ton and union discussed the
economic picture of the steel in
dustry which the union presented
last week. He added:
"When we resume negotiations
United States Steel, considering
all facts, not the least of which
has been the cooperation and
productive effort of the steel
workers in the last year, will
offer a wage increase which
we hope will result in a speedy
and mutual settlement of our
negotiations"
Problems Discussed
Mr.. Stephens said no wage Of
fer was made at today's session.
but the many economic problems
which are part of the steel in
Idustry were discussed at length.
He identified some of the prob
LENS as comparative wage rates
with earnings of workers in
other industries, cost Of living,
steel production and future
financial needs for essential steel
expansion.
Deadline for agreement on q
wage settlement is June 30
only 10 days hence. The union
will be free to strike if an agree
ment is not reached by that date.
Mr.. Mcdonald said union ne
gotiators will meet in Pittsburgh
with five other major steel COM
Ipanies tomorrow and Wednes-
day. They are Bethlehem Steel
Corp. Republic. Jones g. Laugh
lin, Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co., and Inland Steel Co.
Expects 7H-Cent Offer
I. w Abel, secretary treasurer
of the union, said over the week
end that the major steel COM
panies probably would offer q
71a cent hourly pay raise.
But that, he told the USW's
District 20 convention Saturday.
won't be acceptable. The BOOM
ing basic steel industry is in posi-
ton to pay much greater
amount, he asserted.
The 100000 USW members in
the steel industry now earn an
average of $2.33 an hour. OBJ
servers figure the union is ask
ing about IS cents an hour but
probably will settle for between
IL and Is cents.
The steel union is bound by a
Itwo-year contract, signed last
year, to discuss only hourly
wages now. 1t cannot raise any
other issues, such as a guaran-
teed annual wage plan.
If no agreement is reached,
the SteelWofkers' union is free to
strike June 80. But most observ-
ers don't forsee any such action.
