Tells How to Secure
A Mastery of English Quickly
An Interesting new booklet offered
free to men and women who want to
secure a real mastery of the English
language tells of a ‘'fool-proof”
method for studying English usage
without attending classes. The plan,
as described in this little book, has
been worked out by Grenville Kleiser,
who has helped thousands of students
to a better command of English.
According to the publishers, this
world authority uses no involved rules
of grammar or rhetoric, but presents
a simple, straightforward, inspiring
method that secures real results in
very short time. Thousands of users
of this method, they say, have gained
increased power to express themselves
in fluent, convincing, clear-cut English
and so have improved their possibili
ties of social and business advantages.
To acquaint more men and womfen
with the advantages of Improving
their understanding of English, the
publishers, Funk and Wagnails Com
pany, have printed full details of this
speedy, pleasant method in a booklet
which they will send to anyone who
requests it. The address is Funk &
Wagnalls Company, Dept. 257, 153
East 24th Street, New York 10, New
York. A penny postcard will do.
There is no charge for the booklet.
Electrical Workers
Join in Preparations
For Walkout at GM
By the Associated Press
DETROIT, May 19,—General Mo
tors Corp. faced strike threats from
two CIO unions today as the Chrys
ler strike passed the first week
without a sign of a break.
The United Electrical Workers
joined the United Auto Workers in
preparations for a walkout at GM,
the automobile industry’s biggest
producer. Both have been negotiat
ing with the company more than
two months.
Electrical workers’ officials yes
terday called for a strike vote among
their 40,000 members in five GM
plants. A short time earlier, the

Your friends, and the people you do business
with, may be scattered from coast to coast.
But you can reach almost any one of them,
in a hurry, by Long Distance.
For buying, selling — or news worth telling
— this inexpensive service is “made to order.”
Jt’s fast. It’s personal. And it’s convenient.
UAW filed a 10-day strike notice
covering 225,000 of the corporation’s
employes In more than 90 plants
across the country.
Big Three la Industry.
GM and Chrysler, together with
the Ford Motor Co., make up the
industry’s big three and account for
roughly four-fifths of all car manu
facturing.
If a General Motors walkout is
called while the 75,000 Chrysler
strikers still are out, it would be the
first strike in history to hit two of
the Big Three companies simul
taneously.
The auto workers threatened to
leave their jobs at GM unless a
contract dispute is settled by May
28. They are asking a 35-cent
hourly wage increase, of which 10
cents could go for a pension plan,
and other fringe benefits.
A four-hour negotiating session
was held yesterday, but no progress
was reported. Another conference
was slated for today.
Ask Substantial Raise. s
The electrical workers, whose aver
age wage is about 1214 cents lower
than the *1.50 an hour paid UAW
members, have asked a "substantial”
but unspecified raise. The GM con
tract is the electrical workers’ only
major one in the auto industry, but
has set the industry wage pattern
for the last two years.
There were nojpoves, meanwhile,
to settle the Chrysler strike, a week
old at 10 am. today. The UAW is
holding out for a 30-cent pay in
crease from Chrysler. It dropped
its demand to 17 cents shortly be
fore the strike, but returned to the
original figure when Chrysler re
fused to reinstate a previous 6-cent
offer.

Side Payments on Homes
Illegal, Veterans Warned
By tht Associated Press
The Veterans’ Administration set
out today to end the “side-payment”
racket in the sale of houses to war
veterans.

action will be taken against any
veteran who puts out off-the-record
money for a house under a GI loan,

lender toho accepts It. It is against
