BLACKPOOL, Eng. (/P)—Win
ston Churchill declared Saturday
firm action by an aroused Westt
in Korea has enhanced the hopes
of reaching a peaceful settlement
with Russia.
But, he declared, the success of
this collective effort, “must not
lull us into a sense of false secur
ity.”
“The Soviet onslaught upon
South Korea,” the Conservative
leader told the annual conference
of his party here, “has made
many people realize the perils
which menace us and all that’s
left of European civilization.”
BERLIN (A3)— Soviet-ruled Ger
many held its first big election
yesterday, but there was no spec
ulation on the results. The voters
only had one set of candidates—
70 per cent of them communists.
With no opposition to think
about, East Germany’s rulers beat
the propaganda drums to insure a
massive turnout, mingling persua
sion with stark threats.

SOUTH AMBOY, N. J. (JP) —
Some 500 public school kids hit
the books today—in shifts:—fol
lowing the longest summer vaca
tion they ever had.
The delay in opening was caus
ed by last May’s disastrous muni
tions explosion which did exten
sive damage to the city’s schools.
Even now the high school is the
only one open. It will serve high ,
school students in the morning
and elementary pupils in the af-;

4Big Steel” Opens
Wage Negotiations
PITTSBURGH, (JP) — Industry
leader United States Steel Corpo
ration and the CIO United Steel
workers opened negotiations to
day of the union demand for a
wage increase.
Neither side commented as ses
sions got under way.
President Philip Murray of both
the CIO and the USW headed the
union’s 37-man bargaining team.
Vice President John A. Stephens
led about the same number of
representatives of “Big Steel’s”
six steel-producing subsidiaries.
Murray and Stephens shook
hands and chatted pleasantly for a
few minutes before the bargaining
session started in a downtown ho- j
tel conference room.
U. S. Steel is the traditional!
bellwether of the industry in;
wage talks. If it grants a pay hike,!
other steel firms—both basic pro-j
ducers and the firms that turn <
the steel into finished products—
probably will follow suit. i
The amount of any U. S. Steel
wage hike would be reflected in
the prices of automobiles, refrig
erators, hairpins and everything ^
else made of steel.
Little doubt has been expressed j
that U. S. Steel will make some |
form of wage increase offer. The
amount of that expected offer re- (
mains to* be answered.
Murray himself hasn’t said how
much more he will seek for the
steel-workers who now average
$1.70 an hour. Some sources havej
placed the union’s demand at
about 25 cents an hour. j
