Monday that Lilly was not well

Phone Strike
Ends in Ohio

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Feb. %
R.-Strike-weary employees of
the Ohio Consolidated Telephone
Co. return to their jobs today
for the first time in more than
seven months after ratifying a
new l6-month contract.
The contract. signed yesterday
by officials of the Communica-
tons Workers of America and
the company, does not retain a
Union shop clause, an issue Bit
'terly disputed throughout ne
gotiations.
But it increases some wages
as much as II cents an hour.
The agreement. which substi-
itutes maintenance OF member
ship for the union shop pro-
vision Of the old contract. was
ratified by a 207-l86 vote of
union membership. Locals at
Portsmouth and Circleville voted
against it.
Frank a. Lennberg, company
director OF personnel. said most
of the $50 workers covered by
the contract will get pay in
lcreases. but some will not. The
company has about 700 en-
lployes.
Tie contract also contains a
provision that 10 union men,
beers, including several strike
leaders and stewards. will not
get their jobs back. An Ohio
Consolidated spokesman said the
company already has fired IL
men and intends to fire the
other eight. All are accused of
improper activities during the
strike.

proposal which includes the
threat of possible sanctions
against Israel in the event of
continued defiance Of U. N. with
drawal orders has been held up.
Egypt.
Announcement of an Israeli
withdrawal from GAIA and the
Gull Of Aqaba within the next
few days would make the present
discussion at the U. N. entirely
academic. The chances of such
a move are perhaps reflected
by the attitude of the Israeli
delegates here, who maintain
that the real center Of activity
is still in Washington and Jeru-
salem. rather than New York.
If this hope falls through, the
dilemma of the U. N. will be
very real indeed. At present, the
choice is still between pressing
ahead with radical sanctions
against Israel-as the Arab states
demand--or developing a plan
for U. N. control of disputed
areas along the lines Of Tuesdays
Canadian proposal.
The first alternative is con-
coded some 35 votes by COM
petent observers here. The
second, perhaps Is. Neither

He never expected the diamonds
to break. He cashed the ace and
king of clubs, then led the six
Of diamonds to dummy's king.
Here he abandoned diamonds,
led a spade to his ace and fol-
lowed with his last spade, put
ting Mr.. Abel in with the queen.
This fine play assured the sue
cess of the contract. Mr.. Abel
was helpless. If he returned a
club Mr.. Meek would ruff it with
dummy's last trump and discard
a small diamond from his hand.
The actual return was the jack
OF diamonds and Mr.. Meek won
in his hand with the ace and
then took the marked finesse
against the 10 spot for u tricks.
If Mrs. Keen had won the
third spade. the result would
have been the same. On a low
diamond return from her side of
the table Mr.. Meek would have
played the eight. Now If Mrs.
Keen had started with four dia-
monds the eight would hold the
trick. If she won the third spade
and returned the jack or 10 of
diamonds. Mr.. Meek would win
with dummy's queen and lead
another diamond. finessing his
nine spot.
