TRADE:
Modify Program
Seeking to soften Republican op-
position to the administration’s for-
eign trade program. President Tru-
man issued an order sharply modi-
fying reciprocal trade agreements.
Acting after consultations, with
Republican Senators Vandenfierg
(Mich.) and Millikin (Colo.), Mr.
Truman directed that hereafter re-
ciprocal agreements contain escape
clauses permitting the President to
modify or eliminate low tariff con-
cessions that jeopardize an Ameri-
can industry.
Agreements also will embody a
“most favored nation” clause, giv-
ing the U. S. the same trade advan-
tages afforded other countries. At
present, some states have agree-
ments with others which tend to
discriminate against American
trade.
Reiterating U. S. hopes for build-
ing a foundation for peace through
the free exchange of goods and
elevation of living standards, Mr.
Truman sai& that this country
looked forward to the forthcoming
world trade parley in Geneva, Swit-
zerland. He stated that the U. S.
would negotiate for tariff reduc-
tions, removal of trade barriers and
elimination of discriminatory prac-
tices.
for beginners and increases of $1,025
yearly for elementary teachers now-
making $l,875-$2,575 and high school
instructors earning $2,175-$2,975, plus
a state authorized $300 raise.
Federation President Ast said the
teachers walked out after he had
failed to receive assurances from
Governor Dewey that proposed leg-
islation providing for permanent sal-
ary increases would embody the or-
ganization's demands. Although
some 568 non-striking teachers
stayed on the job, the schools were
shut down completely because of jos-
tling picket lines and union team-
sters’ refusal to make fuel and food
deliveries.
U.N.:
U. S.-Red Harmony
Suspension of Russian opposition
to a U. S. trusteeship over former
Japanese mandated islands in the
Pacific virtually assured U. N. ap-
proval of the American proposal to
hold on to the territories for security
reasons.
Earlier the Russians had threat-
ened to force this country into taking
unilateral action on the islands by
demanding that the trusteeship ques-
tion be postponed until formulation
of a Japanese peace treaty. While
Britain and Australia had joined in
the Soviet opposition, it was con-
sidered that it would be compara-
tively easy to adjust differences with
them.
In making their about-face, the
Russians proclaimed that the U. S.
was entitled to the trusteeships be-
cause it had made incomparably
greater sacrifices than the other Al-
lied countries in wresting them from
Japanese control. Under the U. S.
proposal, the islands would be held
open for U. N. inspection, except for
strategic military installations that
may be closed for security purposes.
PALESTINE:
U. S.-Dritish Rift
While diplomatic observers ex-
pected no major rift to develop be-.,
tween the U. S. and Britain over the
heated exchange on the Palestine
question, the outburst pointed up the
apparent cross-purposes at which the
two allies were working in the stra-
tegic Middle Eastern region with its
oil-laden lands.
Foreign Minister Bevin’s charge
that President Truman had disrupt-
ed delicate British negotiations for
settling the Palestine issue by de-
manding admission of 100,000 Jews
into the Holy Land before the 1946
congressional elections to get votes
was immediately denied by the
White House. In a prompt reply, 11
was said that Mr. Truman’s decla-
ration merely reaflfiirmed the U. S.
position on Palestine taken in the
summer of 1945.
Republican senators were quick to
rise to the President’s defense.
Brewster (Rep., Me.) said that Bev-
in was trying to make Mr. Truman
the "sacrificial” goat for Britain’s
failure to work out an equitable
agreement between Jews and Arabs,
and Taft (Rep., 0.) pointed out that
Bevin had conveniently dropped his
proposal for partition of the Holy
Land in the face of stiff Arab oppo-
sition.
TEACHERS:
Biggest Strike
Seventy-one thousand Buffalo ele-
mentary and high school students
had no classes as 2,400 instructors
staged the biggest teachers’ strike
in U. S. history over substantial pay
demands.
The walkout pointed up the in-
creasing pressure for higher teach-
ers' salaries throughout the country
not only to keep present instructors
within the educational system but
also to make the profession more
alluring for recruits in a day of in-
creased remuneration in other fields.
Members of the Independent Buf-
falo Teachers federation and AFL
and CIO unions, the strikers de-
manded a minimum salary of $2,400

Tire induction Sets All-Time Peak
With the increasing supply of ma-
terial and manpower, production and
shipments of automotive casings and
tubes for the full year 1946 broke
all previous records according to
Rubber Manufacturers association.
The 82,013,412 eutomotive casing*
produced and the 81,859,667 casings
shipped during the year exceeds the
previous all-time record year, 1928,
when 77,943,814 casings were pro-
shipped.
Pai
'assenger car casing production
during the full year 1946 was 6#,,
268,566 units, an increase of 135
per cent over 1948; shipments of 66,-
064,135 units exceeded the previous
year by 146 per cent.
GUARANTEED WAGE:
Gets Approval
The guaranteed annual wage,
which promises to become one of
the major objectives of the Ameri-
can labor movement, received the
endorsement of President Truman’s
reconversion advisory board.
Embodying an employer’s pledge
to provide a definite amount of work
a year, the guaranteed wage has,
been in effect in a number of plants,
with advocates declaring that it
tends to regularize production and
remove employees’ fear of layoffs.
Opponents of the plan assert that it
would compel employers to pay out
wages during periods of slack de-
mand for goods.
Because the guaranteed annual
wage ia no cure-all for economic
fluctuations, the board said that it
should be correlated with other sta-
bilizing factors, including social
security, minimum wages and tax
policies. All guaranteed wage
agreements should be worked out
through collective bargaining
rather than imposed through na-
tional legislation, it was said.
Board members include Presi-
dents Edward A. O’Neal of the
Farm Bureau; William Green,
AFL; Phil Murray, CIO; and Eric
Johnston, Motion Pictures Produc-
ers and Distributors.
AUSTRIA:
Allies Clash
Indicative of the problems facing
the Big Four in Moscow when their
conference gets underway shortly,
their deputy foreign ministers lay-
ing the groundwork for discussion
of German und Austrian treaties
agreed only half-way on an Aus-
trian pact. Out of 62 clauses, agree-
ment was reached on 32:
Major differences included:
D, S. and Russian disagree-
ment over what constitutes
Nazi assets in Austria. The
U. 8. contends that the Russians
have removed important Aus-
trian property a* reparations on
the grounds that-they were Natl
property, seriously impairing
the country’s economy.
Russian support of Yugoslav
claims to the richest and most
densely populated provinces of
Carinthia and Styria. Tbe U. S.,
Britain and France objeet, de-
claring Austria's prewar bound-
aries should remain intact.
French insistence upon rigid
control of scientific research.
The D. 8. argues that such su-
pervision would hamper the
economic redevelopment of
Austria, leading to employment
and trade difficulties.
In Washington, Secretary of State
Marshall disclosed that John Foster
Dulles, Republican adviser on for-
eign affairs, would accompany him
th’ the Moscow conference. In all,
the U. S. delegation will include 84
members, half of whom will be
clerks.
NEEDLEWORK PATTERNS
VOLCANO:
Rampant in Sicily
Quietly slumbering since 1928,
when it wiped out the village of Mas-
cati. Mount Etna on the east coast
of Sicily kicked up again, with molt-
en lava gushing from a new crater
on its side threatening to bury sev-
eral more small settlements.
Nine hundred feet wide, a stream
of bubbling, molten lava edged into
the plain of Damusi at a speed of
about 210 feet an hour, then broke
off Into three forks, one pushing to-
ward the villages cif Passo Pisdaro
and Cisterna.
As natives fled in panic, govern-
ment authorities rushed motor ve-
hicles to the area to evacuate the
homeless. Directors of the Etna ob-
servatory asked Rome to consider
the advisability of air bombardment
of the countryside to divert the flow
of lava from villages and rich agri-
cultural areas. ^
Fanatical In war, Japanese are
mannerly in peace. Typifying trait,
tiny Japanese primary school pupil
stiffly addresses thank-you piece to
members of IT. 8. food mission for
American provision of nutritious hot
lunches to Nipponese students. While
the U. 8. has contributed $2,700,000,-
000 to UNRRA for relief of liberated
countries, the army has spent mil-
lfbns of dollars for food and other
essentials In occupation areas to re-
lieve distress.

LABOR:
Pin Down Green
Pinned down by the close ques-
tioning of Representative Hoffman
(Rep., Mich.) Pres. William Green
of the AFL told a congressional com-
mittee that the union would back the
amendment of labor laws to permit
free speech to employees by employ-
ers and require unions to register
with the government and file finan-
cial statements.
At the same time the gaudily
dressed AFL chieftain rapped pro-
posals for a closed shop, declaring
that workers benefiting from union
gains should pay organization dues.
He opposed passage of anti-racket-
eering laws on the grounds that it
was unfair to punish the entire labor I
movement for the excesses of cer-
tain members:
Questioning Green on union pres-
sure against unorganized workers,
Hoffman asked: “Farmers are un-
organized—when they bring ham
and eggs to town, why don’t you re-
fuse to eat them?”
Green blandly replied: “We ar«
reasonable men.”
