Chrysler Walkout
Enters Second Week
Detroit, Mich.. Feb. 1 !U.P.)
The Chrysler strike entered its
second week today with no sign
that either side was ready to
compromise on Its contract de
mands. H)gh officials of the CIO
United Auto Workers and Chrys
ler corporation refused to com
ment on the walkout which has
idled a total of 120,000 workers.
Federal and state labor medi
ators said they would not sched
ule resumption of negotiations
until one side offers a compro
mise. The UAW called a walkout of
89,000 production workers in 25
Chrysler plants in six states a
week ago this morning when the
world's third-ranking automaker
refused its demand for a 10-cent
package increase.
The union, after rejecting
Chrysler's offer of $100 monthly
pensions for 65-year-old work
ers with 25 years' service, said
it would accept the 10-cent boost
as either a combination pension
insurance plan or a wage in
crease. Heart Association

REALTY VIEWS
Mere is the secret of success.
The late A. P. Giannini, founder
of the mammoth Bank of America,
had this advice
for all ambitious
young men:
"Select the
business you like.
Save $1,000 to
invest in it. Own
your own home.
And know where
you want to be a
year from now."
Those words
Fred Chei have guided many
on the journey to success. Maybe
you ve already started on the way.
But if not, begin now to think about
owning your own home. The moment
you acquire ft, though it is far from
being paid tor, it enhances your stand
ing in the community. It helps your
credit rating and adds stability to
your home. Pride of ownership in
creases your self respect.
The monthly payments develop
the habit of thrift. A large share of
your payments come right back to you
as a safe form of savings.
We have a variety of homes to
sell varying in price from low to
high. From this assortment you can
match your requirements.
Let us help you to find your home

cess. BUY THROUGH A REALTOR!
