told him that two women-accom-

DETROIT, April 5 —Regular
crews returned today to Saginaw
Valley power plants which Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
workers surrendered last night af
ter winning a four months exten-
sion of their contract for exclusive
bargaining rights.
Foremen of the Consumers Pow-
er company, whom tire strikers
evicted last Friday, took charge
again. _________________________________
The strikers had maintained
service to the northeastern Mich-
igan industrial area, which they
had controlled three days. The
new agreement extended their
contract until Aug. 4, guaranteed
against wage ruts prior to that
date, and promised there would be
no discrimination against those
who struck.
The Utility Workers Organiza-
tion Committee called the strike.
It represents only o'ne of th
brought pretests from foreign
governments.
“War is Worn”
As the report came, the nation,
alists outside Tortosa commanded
with their artillery the Barcelona-
Valencia road, last great artery
of communication between Cata-
lonia and the rest of loyalist
Spain. - .
Everywhere the nationalists
were advancing, driving into ami
smashing . the remnants of the
loyalist army which had defended
the Catalonian front.-
Nationalist jubilance was unre-
strained. The official Salamanca
radio broadcast:
"The war Is won!”
To Give Time
Nationalist political quarters at
Burgos, the grand headqlarters,
were given as authority for the
report that Franco planned an ul-
timatum to the loyalists. The
United Press bureau at Lisbon,
relaying the report, said that it
was insisted that Franco would
Issue an ultimatum soon and in
the sternest terms.
He proposed, it was said, to
give t|ie loyalists a reasonable
time In which to surrender un-
conditionally, citing a desire to
prevent the useless shedding of
more Spanish blood. - «

"There is really no good clinical
evidence that this method has any
beneficial effect in the treatment
of cancer,’’ the Journal said. 7Nev-
