Harvester Pay Dispute
With CIO Is Settled
After 48-Hour Strike
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. July 1.—The Inter
national Harvester Co. and the
CIO United Farm Equipment
Workers have settled a lengthy
wage dispute, 48 hours after a
strike by about 35,000 union
members In nine of the com
pany’s plants.
The new contract, providing for a
wage Increase of 11 cents an hour
and retention of provisions in the
old contract, will be submitted for
approval today at the union head
quarters In Chicago.
An early return to work was ex
pected. The union described the
settlement with the company as
•'satisfactory.” It said records in
dicated the two-day walkout was
the shortest "successful strike this
vear ”
Complete Victory Claimed.
Gerald Fielde, director of Har
vester council, in Issuing a call for
ratification said:
"The powerful militant demon
stration of the principle of ‘no con
tract, no work, by 40,000 workers
resulted in complete victory, forc
ing the company to abandon its at
tempt to alter the previous contract
as had been intended.”
The union members quit their jobs
at 12:01 a m. Tuesday, on the expira
tion of the old contract, which
previously had been extended for
30 days.
The company had agreed to the
11 cents an hour pay boost, but dis- j
agreed with the union over the
retroactivity clause. The settlement
was for the increase to be retro
active to June 28, although the union
had asked it to be made retroactive
to June 14.
Seven Changes "Waved.”
A company spokesman said the
seven changes in the contract it had
asked had been "waived.” He said
the contract had been "substan
tially" extended, but Mr. Fielde said
the new wage increase would be in
effect for a year. The company and
union had been negotiating on a
new contract for more than four
months, with wages the chief issue.
Since the walkout the company
and union and Federal mediators
held almost continuous meetings in
an attempt to settle the dispute over
the retroactivity clause.
During the two-day strike, opera
tions continued at two of the com
pany’s plants at which the union is
bargaining agent—Rock Falls and
Canton, 111. But work halted at nine
of the big farm equipment com
pany's plants—four in Chicago and
one each in Louisville, Auburn,
N. Y.; Richmond, N. Y., and East
Moline and Rock Island, 111.

No-Deferment Draft Policy
Planned for U. S. Employes
By Joseph Young
A strict no-deferment policy for the 85,000 male Government
employes between 19 and 25 is being worked out by top Federal
officials.
The officials say the forthcoming regulations will bar Fed
eral employment as a ground for draft deferment, except in cases
wnere me employes are scientists
or engineers engaged in key defense
projects, such as atomic energy and
other military work.
Otherwise, It
was said, no em
ploye who Is
eligible for the
draft will be
given defer
ments because
of his Govern
m e n t employ
ment.
Those em
ployes who are
drafted will get
re - employment
rights following
com pletion of
their military
service.
Joseph Younr.
Tne plans are being arawn up ay
the Federal Personnel Council.
* * * *
MIFFED—Officials of Govem
men employes’ unions are seething
because the White House has not
invited them to the ceremony when
the President signs the permanent
$330-a-year permanent pay raise
bill.
Mr. Truman is expected to sign
the bill some time within the next
three days. And up to now he has
not invited Federal union officials
to witness the signing, although
urgent telephone calls have been
made.
As far back as any one can re
member, Government union officials
have been invited to the White
House whenever the President
signed a Federal pay bill Into law.
There usually is a pen-signing cere
mony, whereby each union leader
is given one of the dozen or so
pens used as a token of their or
ganization's efforts on behalf of the
measure.
Union officials like these cere
monies because they can use the
pictures of the event in their various
union publications for the rank
and-file members to see.
Reports have it that Mr. Tru
man does not want any ceremony
over the signing of the bill because
he thinks it is an inadequate meas
ure. But the union people are
tickled to death that they were able
to get any sort of pay bill ap
proved by Congress. Mr. Truman
wasn't any help in this regard either.
He officially was on record as op
posed to any pay boost at all.
* * * *
SCANT Y—Incidentally, only
about 150 additional jobs will open
up at selective service national
headquarters here as a result of the
draft program. This is only a small
perceritage of the estimated 6,800
new employes who will be hired
throughout the country to admin
ister the draft.
The 150 positions here will be
mostly of the clerical and steno
graphic variety.
Selective service officials say that
job applicants must have civil serv
ice status.
WAR ASSETS—War Assets Ad
ministration officials flatly deny re
ports that the agency plans mass
layoffs during the next few months.
One report had it that 8,000 WAA
employes would be dismissed by the
end of the month.
Here is the true picture: WAA
plans to dismiss 3,500 of its 19,000
workers by September 30. Of this
number, about 350 of them will be
employes in the agencys Washingj
ton office.
This will leave 1,700 WAA em
ployes here and their tenure, as
well as that of the rest of the
agency’s workers, will depend on
how quickly WAA can dispose of
the $4,800,000,000 in surplus prop
erty the agency still has on hand.
It probably will take quite a while,
since the remaining goods are no
longer the cream of the crop, and
a more difficult selling job is in
volved.
At any rate, WAA officials say
’’there is absolutely no basis” to re
ports that its Washington staff will
be down to 500 employes by next1
February 28, when WAA’s functions
and personnel will be absorbed by
the Treasury and Air Force De-1
partments and the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. And they say the!
same holds true for the rate of its
field staff dismissals.
* * * *
CAUTION—A stenographer re
cently hired at the Atomic Energy
Commission here hesitantly asked
her boss the other day if it was
all right for her to smoke.
• Why, sure,” he said, rather puz
zled. “Why shouldn't you.”
"Well, I just didn’t know,” she
said. “I was afraid I might blow
the place up.”

Mississippi Insect Invasion
Fought With Poison Mixture
By the Associated Press
BASSFTELD, Miss., July 1.—A
mass of crunching, crawling grass
hoppers—eating everything in Its
path but the bitterweeds—continued
to inch Its way through corn and
cotton fields surrounding this
Southeastern Mississpii farm town
today.
Hie invasion, now two days old,
is being fought with a poisonous
mixture of white arsenic, wheat
bran and sawdust strewn in the
path of the slow-moving hordes.
Bill Dorris, a farmer whose fields
are among those being devastated,
says effectiveness of the counter
attack will be known within 36
hours.
A Memphis firm offered to spray
the grasshoppers from the air with
an insecticide at a cost of $2.20 an
acre.
"Pew Bassfield farmers would pay
that price even if it saved their
crops.’’ Mr. Dorris said. "But we’ve
got to stop them. The small farmers
will be ruined unless we do.’’
Several new outbreaks were re
ported yesterday within a seven
mile radius of Bassfield. The poison
was applied immediately in each in
stance. At least 10 localities have
been laid waste so far but there has
been no estimate of damage.

Trade Board Honors
Reilly for Gains During
Year as President
John A. Reilly, immediate past
president of the Washington Board
of Trade, last night was honored
by the trade group for the many
constructive gains accomplished
during his administration.
Persons prominent in public and
civil life paid tribute'to Mr. Reilly
at the event in the Mayflower Hotel.
He was presented with a testimonial
scroll and a scrapbook of clippings
high lighting his tenure in office.
The scrapbook was presented by
F. P. H. Siddons, first vice presi
dent of the trade group, in behalf
of the organization, and the testi
monial by Leon Chatelain, jr., pres
ident.
Leahy Emphasizes Service.
william E. Leahy, former selec
tive service director for the District,
said Mr. Reilly's life "has been
marked by his dedication to public
service.”
"He has exemplified all of the
virtues and attainments which go
to make up the hope of America,”
Mr. Leahy declared. “He is willing
to place on the altar of civic duty
a bit of devotion to which the com
munity is entitled. We expect great
things of him in the years to come.”
Justice Richmond B. Keech of
District Court pointed out that, al
though it was a tribute to have
served as a president of the Board
of Tr«de, it was an even greater
tribute to have compiled the record
of service Mr. Reilly did.
The guest of honor also received
the tribute of the Board of Com
missioners, extended by Brig. Gen.
Gordon R. Young, Engineer Com
missioner.
Career Reviewed.
Mr. Chatelain, who succeeded Mr.
Reilly, told those present that,
"Every time I call on John to help
me out, he has never been too busy
to put me on the right path.’’
Other words of felicitation came
from James A. Cassidy, assistant
treasurer of the Board of Trade
Mr. Cassidy reveiwed Mr. Reilly's
career from the time of his gradu
ation from old Business High School
to his elevation to the presidency
of the Second National Bank. He
told of Mr. Reilly's work during the
war, of his record as treasurer of
the Community Chest for several
years, as chairman of the Advisory
Committee of Providence Hospital
and as president of the District
Bankers’ Association in 1942.
The speaker also pointed out that
one of the first things the Most
Rev. Patrick J. O’Boyle, Bishop of
Washington, did on assuming office
was to name Mr. Reilly a lay ad
viser.
Mr. Cassidy added that the honor
guest organized Merrick Boys’ Camp
to provide vacations for under
privileged children.
Archbishop Opens
Lambeth Conference
By th« Associated Press
CANTERBURY, England, July
1.—The Archbishop of Canterbury,
Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, formally opened
the eighth Lambeth Conference of
Churchmen today. He called for
“all Christian people to work for
unity and fellowship” in God.
The archbishop noted progress in
the work of recreating “visible unity
of the Church of Christ.” He said
the drawing together had been
helped by the "pressure of forces
hostile to the Christian faith.”
Lambeth conferences—so named
after Lambeth Palace, London home
of the Archbishop of Canterbury—
were held each 10 years between
1870 and 1930 to consider whether
church doctrine needed modifica
tions in the light of world affairs
and trends. The war prevented a
meeting in 1940.
Present are 330 bishops, among
them 75 from the Protestant Epis
copal church of the United States,
Angelicans from many parts of the
world, Lutherans from Scandinavian
countries, Greek Orthodox church
men from Cyprus and Jerusalem,
Greeks, Serbs and Orthodox church
men of Poland.
