that it lacks authority to order

The board voted 8 to 4 Tues
day, with labor members dissent
ing, to send a demand by the
CIO United Autoworkers for a
contract covering 10 Borg-War-
ner Co. plants back to the parties
for negotiation.
Some 10 000 union members
at the plants located in five
states held a three-week strike
last October to back their main
demand for a "master contract'
with Borg-Warner. The company
refused the demand, and insisted
on plant-by-plant negotiations.
The plants are located in Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and
Tennessee.

Adequate Lighting
Could Save Lives
Cleveland, O. (U.P.) Be
tween 6,000 and 10,000 lives
could be saved each year through
adequate, modern lighting.
That estimate, made by the
National Street and Traffic
Safety Lighting Bureau, was
based on the increase In auto
mobile accident rates during the
after-dark hours. On a mileage
basis, the bureau said, the night
death rate is three times the
day rate in urban areas, two
and one-half times In rural ar
eas, and two and four-fifth times
nationally.
On the basis of the number
of vehicles operating, the night
death rate is four times the day
rate.
The 1950 traffic death toll,
bureau figures showed, was 20,
000. Instead, with adequate
lighting, the rate should have
been between 3,750 and 5,000.

es into ten limbs,- each measur
ing from twelve to 30 Inches in
diameter.
The Lover's Oak, so named
because of the Indian brave and

met beneath its branches, was
a veteran in 1736 when the Brit
