Chile Copper Strike
Ends Partially

4
-Chile's Gripping three-week-
old copper strike ended partially
today but 1000 workers at the
Kennecott Co.'S FL Teniente
mine rejected q government
settlement.
The 5000 workers at the Ana
conda Co.'s Chuquicamata and
Potrerillos mines agreed to re-
turn to work today.
Negotiations with the Fl Ten
Iiente strikers are continuing.
The two American copper COM
lpanies estimated the walkout has
cost them production of $4,000
tons so far, while government
sources put Chile's loss at $13
million in taxes and share Of
production.
The workers struck to protest
q new law covering employment
In the copper industry and limit
ing the number of unions. The
government finally agreed to de-
lay operation Of the law for 30
days while amending it.
The settlement also gave the
men a Christmas bonus and
advances on their share of an
nual profits provided In previous
labor contracts. The government
also spromised to withdraw
criminal actions against strike
leaders.
An attorney for the Confed-
Grafton Of Copper Workers said
earlier that the government had
agreed to reimburse the COM
panies for the additional benefits
provided in the settlement.

But Robert M. Hutchins,
formerly president Of the Uni

report the impression that he
believes the Communist Party
is Just another political party
and hence is being prosecuted.
One Of the Hutchins projects
calls for payment to a promi-

ton on the workings of the
Communist Party. but with
the understanding that he Is
not to be questioned on the
conspiratorial phases Of the
Communist Party's work. This
is q strange way to get in

DAVID LAWRENCE

There's a chance for the
Fund for the Republic to re-
deem itself and meet the argu-
ment Of its critics that the $14-
million fund originally donated
to it by the Ford Foundation
for Education" on American
principles Of government has
not been used for that purpose.
Heretofore the money has
been spent to distribute vari-
Gus books and pamphlets and
TO support projects on one side
Of the controversy about the
Communist Party in the United
States. Only materials that
tend to show that the Com
munist Party is merely a po-
litical party-not a conspiracy
directed by q foreign govern
ment--and also booklets that
tend to minimize the problem
Of security risks" have thus
far been distributed with the
Ford money.
Now, however, the subcom-
mittee Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee which has been in
vestigating the whole internal
security problem has issued o
l00-page Handbook for Amer
leans" It tells how the Com
munist Party works. This
pamphlet can hardly have q
wide circulation, as there is no
fund in Congress to send out
millions Of copies to the citi-
zens.
But. II the Fund for the
Republic wishes to prove its
impartiality and disinterested-
ness, the booklets can be OBJ
tanned by it at cost from the

college and to every member
Of every university faculty and
to every writer, every school
teacher and every clergyman

members Of all civic and fra
ternal organizations.
The booklet was authorized
by the Senate subcommittee.
and In its foreword is the
following statement:
THE average American Is
unaware Of the amount Of
misinformation about the
Communist Party, U. S. A.,
which appears in the public

by Adlai Stevenson when he

Harry S. Truman's strength

coming at the expense Of the

With its overtones Of class
warfare, such a case is of

EAST GERMANY
BOOSTS PENSIONS

Germany boosted pensions 40 per-

to please the restless population.
The boost was decreed in law

promises made by Communist

the height of the Hungarian revo-
luton.
The new pension law means
that the aged, the sick and the

Air Command bases are normal

This statement yesterday was
prompted by questions concern
ing reports that there was unusual
activity at SAC bases in various
parts of the country.
The SAC follows a general
practice of frequently shifting
plane units from one base to an
other in the United States, the
idea being to make it harder for
a potential enemy to pinpoint
their locations at given times.
The SAC, equipped with long
range atomic bombers, holds it

much better equipped than any
Western country suspected.

them with everything. They had
Russian tanks, planes, armored
cars, artillery and firearms" he
reported.
The colonel said Russian was
often heard when Egyptian radio
communications in the battle area
were monitored.
1.-THE amount of Russian on the
radio was particularly heavy in
sections where there were con-
centrations of Egyptian tanks"
Karni said. He added the Israelis
