After hearing herself de-
scribed in glowing terms,
Mrs. Eisenhower made one of

been bitten by the political
bug, we wouldn't be surprised
to pick up the Gettysburg
paper in a year or so and
read, Ike Eisenhower an
nounces his candidacy for the
Mayor of Gettysburg"
And then in a more serious
vein the club president con-
cluded, Mamie is first in

peace, that is Of the world,
and certainly first in the
hearts of our country's men

Union Dispute
Hope IsHeId
By LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer

A special committee of AFL-
CIO leaders remains hopeful of
working out an arbitration plan
to settle jurisdictional disputes,
despite recent setbacks.
The f1ve man committee,
headed by President Al j. Hayes
Of the international Associa-
ton Of MachinistS. met yester-
day with the Executive Com
mittee Of the AFL-CIO Execu-
tive Council.
Although no agreement was
achieved or expected at the
N e ting, participants said,
progress was made in the sense
that key problems were isolated
and clarified.
The Hayes committee agreed
to continue meeting in an effort
to draft an agreement for sub
mission to the full AFL-CIO
Executive Council-at the coun-
cil's May meeting If the job is
completed in time.
The committee last month
submitted a disputed settlement
plan to the executive council,
but the council rejected it over
whelmingly.
There is general agreement
on binding arbitration to settle
jurisdictional disputes between
AFL-CIO afflliate on a case by
case basis, but major details Of
an arbitration system have not
been worked out.

USDA Recommends
Milk Price Hearing

A recommended decision on testi-
mony presented at a Federal hear
ing here last October and November
which would tie the Philadelphia
Glass l milk price to the New York
Glass price and also effect de-
crease of ten cents per hundred
weight in the annual Class | price
level to farmers in the Philadel-
phia and Wilmington markets was
announced late this week by the
u. D. Department of Agriculture.
Interested parties will be given
until April IL to file written ex-
ceptions to the recommendations.
The recommended decision would
tie the annual Class / price level
of milk in the Philadelphia and
Wilmington areas to the New York
Glass l price in the 201-210 mile
zone so that the Philadelphia price
could not go more than IL cents
either above or below the New York
price. The recommended pric e
under the new formula would be
$3.50 per hundredweight for 81
percent butterfat milk, or ten cents
below the April-May-June price
under the present formula.
o. H. Hoffman, Jr., general man.
ager of the Interstate Milk Pro-
ducers' Cooperative, said that the
proposal would be submitted to
Inter-State's Board of Directors
and appropriate action taken,
promptly.
recommendations also were made
in the decision which would
change the pricing formula to,
eliminate seasonal drops and jumps
in the annual price level. These
recommendations were based on
testimony by a committee of milk
marketing experts and college pro-
fessors, supported by Interstate
and milk dealers in the two mar
kets.
At last falls hearing, Interstate
asked a 40 cent per hundredweight
increase in the annual Glass /
level then effected by the formula,
which was $5.49 for 81 percent
milk. On April 1. the formula will
raise that annual level price to
$3.50 or within 20 cents of the 40
cents requested by Interstate. The
recommended decision, however,
would set the price at $3.50.
The formula for pricing milk in
the Philadelphia area is based on
an index of U. S. wholesale prices,
prices of 20 percent dairy feed in
Pennsylvania, midwest condensery
prices, and Class l sales.
