neers and firemen. But the Labor
Ministry was reported planning a
iresn settlement attempt in a aay
or two.
Meanwhile, leaders of the strik
ing stevedores union called a con
ference in London today to con
sider their next step in die costly
walkout by' 20,000 men which has
partly tied5,"up seven seaports for
two weeks. . -

jurisdictional squabble for bar
gaining fights involving the steve
dores and the giant Transport
Workers Union. Close to 200
freighters are idle.
A third strike by stewards on
four liners prevented the sailing
of 2,000 passengers for the United
States and Canada. Many of Oiem
are Americans.
The 67,000 striking members ot
the Associated Society of Locomo

'T robbed a market last night
and I couldn't sleep all night. Here
it is. I haven't spent a nickel of
it. All I ask is that you see that
it gets back to the rightful owner.
That's why I am giving it to you."
The .clergyman said the man
shoved a bundle into his hands
and then left the parish house. The
bundle contained $1,200 in cash

The guaranteed wage plan will
provide Ford workers during lay
offs with 60 to 65 per cent of regu
lar take-home pay. This will be
in addition to state unemployment
compensation benefits.
Such a plan would be in line
with Ford's original proposal on
the subject, given to the onion last
Tuesday. The UAW sought an 80
per cent guarantee.
Workers will be covered througn
a1 maximum of 26 weks of idle
ness. Payments will be made from
a jointly administered trust fund.
The company will pay In S cents
per hour per employe for each of
the next three years, the period
covered by the contract. This will
build up a 55-million-dollar fund
during the life of the contract.
The agreement provides that
the company will start contribut
ing toward the supplemental job
less payment fund immediately
with no payments to be made out
of the fund, however, for a year,
until June 1, 1056.
Reuthcr said the UAW had
agreed to let Ford 'handle the
stock problem as it sees fit." This
referred to Ford's offer, earlier in
the negotiations, or let its workers
buy company stock at half price
wncn the stocK is put on tne mark
et for public sale for the first
time.
The walkout of 68.000 Ford work
ers in 28 plants and 12 parts de

as the Sunday midnight flexible
strike deadline set by the union
had been reaches.
.The UAW said it was dispatch
ing telegrams to all locals ask
ing them to call off any strikes al

Big 4 Meet Won't Ease
Tensions, Dulles Thinks
COLUMBIA, S.C. Wl Secretary
of Stale Dulles expressed doubt
Monday that the top evel Big
cour meeting oy iiseu would re
lax international tensions.
"It will take more thin words,"
Dulles said, "and more than one
meeting, to create conditions which
will justify relaxing tne efforts
which we have been making."
The Big Four "summit' 'con
ference will bring together Presi
dent Eisenhower and the premiers
of Russia, Britain and France, per
haps beginning July 18. The United
States has agreed to Gemva as the
site. v
Dulles said the meeting would
"serve to identify the present
causes of tension and set a course
which may lead to el'minating
threats to peace and ircedom."
"But of one thing I am certain."
he said, "the meeting will not end
the necessity for strjng and
vigorous national and international
security policies and for national
unity behind them."
The only prudent cou'.se to fol.
low, the secretary s?id, is for the
United States "for som! time yet
to live as a nation thai is im-
periled.'!
