Seek Solution To
Stalemated Talks
Pittsburgh (U.R) Westing
house Electric Corp. and the CIO
International Union of Electri
cal Workers today sought a way
out of a stalemated wage nego
tiations on the third day of a na
tionwide walkout of 44,000
workers at 30 company plants.
Talks on wages, length of con
tract and time study were sched
uled between company and
union representatives this morn
ing. No Appreciable Progress
A 2V4 hqur session Tuesday
brokeup without appreciable
progress. It brought complaints
from James B. Carey, IUE in
ternational president, that com
pany negotiators lacked "author
ity to make a settlement," he
said. :
Robert D. Blasier, - company
vice-president for industrial re
lations who did not attend Tues
day's session but led Westing
house negotiators in previous
meetings, denied the IUE chief's
charges. '
"The negotiators who met
with Mr. Carey . . . are fully
authorized to make a settle
ment," Blasier said. He said he
was absent from the bargaining
table because he was "working
with others in dealing with the
many employee and customer
problems which have resulted
from Mr. Carey's ill-advised and
unwarranted strike."
Full Powers
A company spokesman said.
Clark Frame, manager of indus
trial relations who represented
Blasier, held ' full negotiating
powers.
The strike began Sunday after
the union rejected a company .of
fer of a five-year contract calling
for a total hourly wage increase
of 23 Yz cents. The IUE has de
manded a flat 15 cent hike in the
current $2.10 average hourly
wage" for one year.
AGREEMENT EXPECTED

which is not matched elsewhere.
Some commentators on govern
ment have compared the White
House news conference with the
British ' Parliament's question
hour as a vital part of the gov
ernmental process.
1 There nave been occasions

ence questioners have forgotten

they were addressing the Presi
dent of the United States.
Red faced and angry, Mr. Eis
enhower has pitched back at
them. But the White House word
long since was that he had come
to enjoy his contacts with the
news men and women. White
House Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty made the most of that
and opened the weekly confer
ences on television, with an op
tion to determine what could be
used. .
Free Wheeling Affairs
White House conferences are
free wheeling affairs in which
he President has been liberal
with news despite a sometimes
tendency to filibuster with an
odd kind of doubletalk. Abandon
ment of the White House news
conference system -could reduce
the flow of basic information to
the public in a big wayi
It is not likely that the Presi
dent will be on his own end or
curtail his meetings ' with the
press and other "media. But Mrs.
Eisenhower will have something
to say about the President's way
of life when he returns to the
White House. And his doctors
will posses an affective veto over
exertions they may deem to be
dangerous. There lies the threat
to the news conferenc system
and it seems to be a real one.
The doctors know as does"" the
President that a news conference
is a heavy physical and mental
burden.
There has been no effort in
Denver so far to discuss with
Mr. Eisenhower the details of
duty when he resumes his White
House office, which is expected
to be around Jan. 1. Nor will
such details be discussed for
some time. If the doctors decide
.against news conferences, there
is no substitute handy. Vice
President .Richard M. Nixon
would take on the chore if re
quested to do so. But he would
be on an explosive spot, subject
to questions covering the whole
area of national life. Presidents
have embarrassed themselves by
speaking out of turn under such
circumstances,
Demand Still Great
For Agriculturists
Brookings, 'S. D. (UKAl
though today's agriculture re
quires fewer people to produce
the nation's food and fiber crops,
there is- a greater . demand for
trained agriculturists in the re
lated fields of research, engi
neering, marketing, and conser
vation.- ' ' r i.
A. M. Kber dean of agri
culture at South Dakota State
College said opportunities are
practically unlimited for today's
college graduate in agriculture.
Eberle pointed out that spec
ialists are needed to find new
uses, new markets and better
means of conserving our national
resources.
No one can better design a
farm implement than a man with
an education in agriculture.
The dean said another rapidly
expanding field is that of agri
cultural education Many high
schools in rural areas are ad
ding courses in agriculture to
their curriculums.
Eberle based his outlook on
figures in a recent survey con
ducted by the Association of
Land-grant Colleges and univer
sities. The final results showed
that there will be almost two
openings for each agricultural
graduate at the end of the 1956
school year. . '

Running Great Risks
A vice president would be run
ning far greater risks of putting
his foot in his mouth and would
have more trouble getting it out
again than would the head man.
White House chief of staff Sher
man Adams, with his hour-by-hour
access to the President,
probably would be in a better
position than Nixon to take the
news conferences, if there must
be a substitute.
There is the possibility that
the conferences might be put on
a . written question basis with
such to be submitted to the Pres
ident and the answers to be
brought back by some spokes
man. That is something fit to
give an old time Washington re
porter the quivers and shakes; a
frustrating paper curtain.
The United Press paged cabi
net officers to learn whether
they would step up their con
ference schedules if White House
conferences were abolished.
Several thought they might do
that.
On the whole, there seemed
to be Willingness to do what
might be possible to make up
for an absence of White House
conferences. But the hard fact is
that there is no substitute for
the President, in person with the
last and authoritative word. -
Reuther's Charge
Slirs Bitterness
At New Gaslle
New Castle, Ind.. 4J.R) CIO
President Walter P.- Reuther's
charge that Gov. George N.
Craig pulled a "double-cross" by
failing to end martial law stirred
up new bitterness today in strife
torn New Castle.
" New Castle was the scene of a
gun battle between strikers and
non-strikers at the Perfect Circle
Corp. foundry Oct. 5, in which
nine persons were wounded.
Reuther, in Detroit, charged
that Craig promised several days
ago to remove National Guards
men and reinstate civil law at
10 a.m. Tuesday.
Opportunity Said Seen
He telegraphed Craig: 'The
only assumption which I and my
associates from the United Auto
Workers, and the Perfect Circle
workers and CIO members gen
erally can draw is that you sud
denly have seen an opportunity
to use to your own personal po
litical advantage a collective
bargaining dispute that exists
only because a reactionary and
recalcitrant management pre
fers violence and bloodshed , to
the peaceful and sensible proce
dures of industrial democracy."
Withholds Comment
Craig who was in Chicago said
he would not comment, until he
read Reuther's statement for
himself.
Meanwhile, 300 of 600 guards
men stationed In the area pre
pared to go home by noon Thurs
day on Craig's orders.
Craig acted after the troop
commander said he "feels he can
police the area properly with
fewer men."
There will be no relaxation in
martial law regulations, how
ever. :'.'.
