Road Plagued
Accidents
FacesC|osure
18th Wreck Spurs
HyuttsviIIe Drive
To Install Liqht

officials in Hyattsville, Nd,
are threatening to block off a
heavily travelled road they
claim has gone too long with
out a traffic light at an acct
dent-scarred intersection.
Hyattsville Mayor Joseph F.
Lilly said a special council
meeting will be held tomorrow
night to take up a resolution
closing Belcrest road Gin the
interest of public safety"
Nearly a mile long, the road
extends from Queens Chapel
road to Colesville road, cutting
across new East West highway
(Route 400 just east of the
Prince Georges Plaza Shopping
Center.
No Hearing Needed
If The council approves the
closure, Mayor Lilly said bar
ricades will be put up Tuesday.
The Mayor said he has dis
cussed the matter with Town
Attorney Emmett H. Mamma,
jr., and that no public hearing
is necessary prior to the Greg
ton of barracades. 4
State Senator H. Winship
Wheatley, jr.. Democrat of
Prince Georges, an attorney
representing the plaza center
in annexation matters, said the
traffic light problem came up
July l at meeting he had
with a HyattSville committee.
"It's a question Of who's go
ing to maintain the light once
it's up-the plaza is willing to
install it," Senator Wheatley
said.
But I don't think they can
legally close that road" the
Senator added.
Senator Wheatley said he
thought Hyattsville was "act-
ing childishly."
Mayor Lilly said the town
would be willing to maintain
the light under certain con-
ditionS.
18th Accident
Belcrest road was con-
structed by the State and place
builders according to county
standards. the Mayor said. 1t
is posted with stop" and
yield" signs.
The contemplated closure
was prompted yesterday when
Hyattsville Town Police re-
ported five persons we're injured
in a two-car accident at the
roads intersection with East
West highway. 1t was the 10Th
accident since December 4 and
in all. 10 persons have suffered
injuries, according to Town Po-
lice Chief Silas Dennis.
/ Other accidents have &C.
CURED there that we have not
recorded since they were COW
cred by Prince Georges County
police" Mayor Lilly said.
Center Has Obligation
Operators of the shopping
center are obligated to have a
light erected at the intersec-
ton, Mayor Lilly said. He said
town officials took the matter
Ito the State Roads Commits
sion last February and were
assured a light would be in
stalled.
Belcrest road runs in front
of a HyattSville fire house now
under construction. On the
other side of EaSt-WeSt high
way it passes in front of apart
ment units whose tenants could
reach the highway by cutting
through the plaza parking lot
Mayor Lilly said repeated in
quirieS to the commission have
resulted only in replies say
ing the light on East-West
highway is the responsibility
of the shopping center.

someone else got the credit for
it, he quit. Then he sold maya

He didn't discuss his other
crimes. Instead, he wanted to
talk about a new opportunity

In another case, the prison.

about when his fellow inmates

The prisoner had been deny

adopt his young son.
They raised questions that
the man had refused to face
himself: What did he intend to
do for his boy? What could he
do with a prison background?
Was he really interested in the
boys welfare or was he using
the boy to fight back at his
in-lawS?
"A short time later he wrote
his in-laws that they could
adopt the boy" DR.. Horlick
said.

COMPANIES MAKE PROPOSALS

COMPANIES MAKE PROPOSALS
The companies proposed that the present level OF
wages and benefits (including the current 17-cent
cost-oflving accumulation) be extended for an add
tional year beyond June &c. 1859. They remain con-
WINGED that this offered the best way for the Union
and Companies to join with their 1T 100000 fellow
Americans in the fight against imitation.
But the Union leaders rejected this proposal out
of hand.
In final effort to prevent strike, the Companies
then made this offer to the Union
"We are Willing to negotiate insurance and pension
benefits during the first year OF tUoyear agreement
and modest Wdge increase in the second year, the
Union will agree to contract provisions which Uould
enable US to generate further economic progress in
operations sufficient to offset the cost of such in
creaSeS."
Further, the Companies assured the Union that
there was no desire to limit the economic progress of
steelworkers They pointed out the wide-open oppor
tuntes for each individual employee to improve his
own income through advancement on the job, promo
ton and incentive compensation.
COMPANIES ASK END OF WASTEFUL PRACTICES
In order to make possible the improved benefits and
wage increase which the Companies indicated, these
changes were sought in the former agreements:
First that the so-caled local rk-practce clauses
in the labor agreements be clarified that manage
ments in cooperation with the Union could take
Sonable actions to eliminate waste and improve eff
cheney and thereby effect savings for the benefit of
all; and
Second, that the agreements include stronger meas
m wildcat Striles which
sands of innocent workers as well the Companies.
Despite the obvious fairness and soundness of these
proposed measures, they rejected by the Union.
It insisted on an immediate and infationarv wage
increase.
In addition, the Companies proposed that the auto
matte cost-olving clauses be discontinued, because
experience shows that these of themselves, tend to
feed imitation. This, too was turned down.
PROGRESS MUST BE N0N-INFLATI0NARY
Steelworkers have made great economic progress We
want them to make further progress But another
round of infationary wage increases for them now
would only add to the already burdensome living costs
of all Americans
We believe that in standing firm against the forces
of initiation in the great basic steel industry, we are
best serving our country our employees and our
companies.
We would appreciate your views and comments on
our stand Just write to the address below.

NO ONE WILL Benefit

No one will benefit from a steel strike Many hard
ships will result. But the greatest harm of all would
come from another infatonary spiral This would be
the certain consequences of acceding to the Unions
demands.
Steelworkers themselves are aware that they gain
little or nothing in the end from nfationary wage in
creases Their views have been revealed by scores of
surveys by leading newspapers and magazines
throughout the country.

s1EEl UNION
ON STRlKEF0R
MORE INITIATION
-r

When the leaders of the Steelworkers'
Union called half million of its men,
bers out of the steel mills last week, they
began a strike for more imitation.
That Is the issue the real issue at stake in
the steel strike.
Imitation is an issue which affects the future secu-
rity of every man, woman and child in America = of
steelworkers themselves as they compete for jobs
against the low-pad workers in steel abroad of the
steel companies and of every other industry in the
country.
Imitation is an issue which may even affect the secu-
rity and the credit = of the American government
ITSELF
Imitation is an An-American issue!
COMPANIES SOUGHT NoN-INFLATIoNARY PAcTS
During the bargaining the Companies sought non
infationary labor agreements They realize that no
one industry no one union can alone and single
handed stop imitation.
But they also know that another wage increase in
steel now would set off similar increases throughout
industry as other unions strive to catch up with the
steeworkers This would force higher prices for every
thing you buy eUen the price of steel were held at
present levels.
For this the steel companies recognized that
they and the steel union have compelling response
bity not to add to the deadly imitation spiral Rising
prices have already eaten away half the buying power
of your dollar in less than 20 years.
The Union leaders recognized such responsibility.
They persisted to the very end in demands for n1a-
tionary increases in wages and benefits Them for the
sixth time since World War H. they closed down the
nations steel mills

UNION CLOSES ITS EARS TO FACTS

Throughout the negotiations the Union leaders have
closed their ears to these salient facts:
Steelworkers are now paid at the highest level of
the worlds industrial workers their average earn
ings are nearly $25 day plus benefits of an added
SASS day. This amounts to about 81 day more
than the average of all manufacturing workers in
America.
Steelworkers gains in recent years have outstripped
those in any other industry.
n Another round of wage and benefit increases now
will tend further to price steelworkers out of markets
at home and abroad as they compete with lowerpaid
workers.

Notwithstanding these considerations, the
Union continued to press for infationary in

Eggs-Pretty and Pa|atab|e, Toe

eggs are fairly simple to pre-
pare.
First wipe the surface of un.
cooked raw eggs with a moist
cloth. Then with a sturdy
needle and a thimble, push tiny
hole into each end of the egg.
Hold one finger over the first
hole while the second hole is
being made.
Take a Sharp-pointed Skewer,
a hatpin or an ice pack, to en-
large the holes until they are
about an eighth of an inch in
diameter. Run a Skewer or ice
pick through the whole egg to
break the yolk.
Next, hold the egg over a
bowl and blow gently into the
hole in the large end of the
egg. Rinse shells in cold water
and let them dry thoroughly.
Rinse them again in hot water
so they'll dye better.
Ask the kiddies to get out
their paint boxes to help deco
rate. Use ordinary water-color
paints, crayons, opaque paints,
pen and ink or pencil.
Miss Coblentz suggests the
egg contents be refrigerated
