Strike Longest
In U.S. History
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The
Westinghouse Electric Corp. strike
became the nation’s longest major
walkout in recent labor history-
today amid reports of some prog-
ress in negotiations to end the
103-day-old dispute.
The reports, made by the com-
pany and Secretary of Labor
Mitchell, were the first public
statements in recent weeks that
offered encouragement of a settle-
ment.
Neither, however, gave any in-
dication of Just how far along the
road toward agreement the com-
pany had come with the striking
AFL-CIO International Union of
Electrical Workers.
Mitchell said in Washington
that the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service had reported
“considerable progress” in nego-
tiations held over the past 10 days.
And Westinghous asserted that
the contract talks were "proceed-
ing more productively.”
Of yesterday’s session; however,
1UE President James B. Care said,
“I couldn’t sec any progress.”
Carey has been heading the union
negotiations. Top-level talks con-
tinued today.
The IUE called out its 44,000
' members in 30 Westinghouse units
last Oct. 17 to back up demands
- for a 15-cent hourly wage Increase
under a one-year pact. Westing-
house offered a five-year pact it
said provided total increases of
23% cents an hour in that period.
Workers averaged $2.10 an hour
before the strike.
The longest previous strike in
recent labor history was the 102-
day walkout against Chrysler
Corp. in 1950 by 95,000 employes.

Solon Believes
Russia Won't
Bring on War
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
George (D-Ga) said today he is
convinced Russia is not preparing
for “a shooting war” and that he
sees no prospect of armed conflict
with the U.S.S.R. “in the imme-
diate future.”
George, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, said
in an interview he thinks the So-
viets have not changed a basic
objective of world conquest, but
“their tactics have shifted to the
economic front.”
“Russia now is undertaking to
furnish money by way of loans to
neutral countries and, by making
some school officials advance the
idea that the omission of ward
schools in the over-all planning
for additional facilities may have
had a direct bearing on the defeat.
Even though ward schools come
into the planning of future ex-

a new junior high school, a com-
bination auditorium and band-
hall and 10 additional classrooms
for the coming school year, Supt.
Julian P. Greer reminded.

provement District No. 1 for

The formation of an Orange
Cpunty Republican Women’s Club
consisting initially of 15 members
following an organizational ses-
sion by district GOP officials was
reported today.
This meeting-at the Home of
Mrs. Frank Malloy was highlight-
ed by election of officers, expla-
nation of group objectives and
adoption of a brief campaign urg-
ing poll tax payments. Organizers
were Mrs. Fletcher Graham ~ef
BeaumOnt, District 2 committee-
woman of the Texas Republican
Executive Committee represent-
would promote world peace.
United States officials 'are
studying this latest Soviet move
seriously but- skeptically. They
feel it is almost certainly a Drop_
aganda maneuver.
Bulganin iS understood to have
proposed a pact pledging the
United States and the Soviet Un-
ion to settle differences within the
framework of the United Nations
Charter and to avoid interference
in each other's internal affairs.
This latest Moscow initiative is
puzzling to diplomats. just last
year Russia canceled somewhat
similar treaties with Great Britain
and FYance in angry protest over
formation of the Western Euro-
pean Union. The WEU is part of
the arrangement under which
West Germany is being rearmed
as a,rnernber both of WEU and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation.
Bulganin’S letter was delivered
to Eisenhower Wednesday. Its
contents have been closely guard-
ed, although publication is ex-
pected eventually, perhaps after
Eisenhower has prepared and dis-
patched a reply.
It seems unlikely that will be
done before his talks here next
week with the British Prime Min-
ister, Sir Anthony Eden.

HOUSTON (AP)—Seven more
members of the Legislature pro-
posed today a special session to
take up mat r s ranging from
abolition of the state Insurance
Commission to a general house
cleaning on lobbying and influence
peddling.
The legislators took their stand
in answering a questionnaire
mailed by the Houston Chronicle.
The survey sought to determine
the extent of employment, among
legislators by U. S. Trust & Guar-
anty Co. of Waco or other insur-
ance companies.
Rep: Charles Lieck Jr. 0f San
Antonio urged a special session
“to abolish the present Insurance
Commission and establish a new
elective body.”
Rep. W. W. Glass of Jackson-
ville proposed a session for a
“thorough investigation” of the
Insurance Commission and its em-
ployees':
Rep. Charles Hughes of Sher-
man favored the session to deal
with “insurance matters and other
matters of corruption.”
Rep. W. T. McNeil of Edna fa-
vored a session to pass a “lobby
control bill and • bill curbing in-
fluence peddling.”

Rice growers are balloting today-
on the question of extending fed-
eral marketing quotas to cover
the 1956 crop of rice.
Rice referendum voting locally
is being done at the Agricultural
Stabilization Committee offices in
the Green Building. Voting hours
are until 6 p.m. today.
It is reminded by ASC officers
that wives of eligible rice pro-
ducers also may vote in the ref-
erendum.
The quota program would limit
plantings this year to 1,639,084
acres which would be a reduction
of 15 per cent from the acreage
allotted for last year’s crop. Each
grower’s sales quota would be the
quantity of rice grown on his
share of toe allotted acreage.

Force pointed out that over-age
persons in the newly-annexed
City of Orange territory must
obtain poll tax exemptions in
order to vote.
The area he spoke of is south of
Allie Payne Road, following
Adams Bayou and the Irrigation
canal east to the Sabine River,
but excluding Brown wood.
Persons past the age of 60 as
of Jan. 1, 1855, who reside in the
City of Orange, also must obtain
poll tax exemptions to be eligible
to vote.
Rural residents past 60 by that
date don’t need exemptions to
claim their voting privilege, he
stated.
He said the date for paying
county taxes to avoid interest
payments also 4s Jan. 31. The
taxes fall past due on Feb. 1 and
1H per cent interest is charged.
Then in July property taxes turn
delinquent, Force said.
Property owners in the Orange
School District can avoid paying
a 1% per cent penalty on 1955
taxes if they turn over the money
before the close of the school tax
office Jan. 31.

yesterday carried no financing
provisions.
However, the House Ways and

this problem. Tax increases it has

to be designed to raise about 14
to 17 billion dollars.
Recommendations last year to
finance a highway construction
