On Westinghouse
Pittsburgh U.B) Some 11.
000 members of the independent
United Electrical Workers union
joined CIO International union
of Electrical Workers in a strike
against the Westinghouse -Electric
Corp. today, jumping to 55,
000 the number of employees on
strike in a nation-wide walkout
The UE members walked out
Gat l0 plants at midnight after
union officials accused the com
pany of demanding a "five-year
blackout on collective bargain
ing." Company spokesman said
union members began picketing
plants here and at Derry, Pa., at
the strike deadline.
Already Off Job '
When the company-wide strike
call came, about 7,600 UE mem
bers already were off the job at
South Philadelphia and Jersey
City, N.J., plants. They had
walked out Oct. 14 in protest
jt against an alleged company plan
to cut wages, reclassify jobs and
demand incentive work at day
work rates.
James J. Matles, UE director
of organization who issued the
strike call Tuesday said West-
Oinghouse had refused "to move
from its demand for a five-year
blackout on collective bargain
ing with a three per cent wage
increase." 8 ;
The move came 10 days after
the CIO union pulled its 44,000
Tooth Decay
Reduction Seen
Portland (U.R) Dr. Har
old M. Erickson, state health of
ficer,' predicted yesterday that
Oregon communities which
have adopted fluoridation pro
grams will reduce tooth decay
in children 65 to 70 per cent.
Dr. Erickson told the 30th an
nual League of Oregon Cities
convention here that surveys in
four Oregon cities Geafhart,
Seaside, Astoria and Warrenton
backed up his figures.
The doctor said "we couldn't
come to this conclusion on this
limited basis, but the pattern
follows almost identically the
pattern of larger cities with
longer experience."
He said three years of fluori
dation in the Clatsop county
towns had brought the tooth
decay level in children down
close to that of Aurora, 111., a
city with natural water fluori
dation.

ed a company offer of a five-year
contract which graduated an
nual pay increases totaling 23 V2

The unions have demanded
one-year contracts with a 15
cent hourly pay boost. A com
pany time-study program also
had been a subject of the negotiations.

Public Will Be
Informed Within
Security Limits
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force will send up at any time
now radical new aircraft sure to
be mistaken for flying saucers.
One day soon you may see a
flame spouting jet craft zoom
straight up from the ground and
dart away at supersonic speed.
It may be shaped like a disc or
a triangle.
But it won't be a flying saucer
one of those weird, objects
that have been reported dancing
across the skies for the past
eight years.
The Air Force said in an ex
haustive report Tuesday night
that flying saucers are the bunk.
The number that cannot be log
ically explained is approaching
the vanishing point, the service
said in making public a study
of 5,000 saucer sightings since
mid-1947.
Illusion of Saucers .
At the same time the Air
Force took some of the wraps
from aircraft that "will be a new
phenomenon in our skies and
under certain conditions could
give the illusion of the so-called
flying saucer."
Apprehensive about public re
action, Air Secretary Donald A.
Quarles said the new planes will
not be "supra-natural or myster
ious." They will be manned, if
manned at all, by "normal"
earthmen. They will obey nat
ural lows. The public will be
informed about them , within se
curity limits.
. Two of the new planes are the
Ryan vertical take-off and land
ing jet and the disc-shaped jet
built by Avro of Canada.: The
Ryan plane, having delta or tri
angular wing, is due to fly at
any ,time:f rom Edwards Air
Force Base, Calif. The Avro.
plane, long ' dubbed a flying
saucer, is under development
and no flight time is known.
No Runways Used
Quarles emphasized that other
countries also can develop such
planes, distinguished chiefly by
their ability to rise and land
without runways. "
As for those mysterious sauc
ers, the Air Force said in a 316
page scientific study that "no
evidence" of the existence of
such -things was found. .Investi
gating methods are so eood now.
it said that only three per cent
of this, year's sightings' are unex
plained., ' 'V '; .-
Quarles . said that no objects
like those popularly'called sauc
ers have flown over 'this coun
try.' None of the so-called saucers
"were in fact aircraft' of foreign
origin." He was Sure the un
known three per cent were con
ventional phenomena or ( illus-'

No Price Boost
For Steel Industry
Seen During 1955
New York (U.R) Roger M.
Blough, chairman of U. S. Steel
Corp., says 1955 will see record
breaking production in the steel
industry, but no general price
increase. - .
Blough made his forecast Tues
day after announcing ."Big
Steel's" record third quarter
earnings. Company directors pre
viously had increased the firm's
common stock, dividend.
Blough said 1955 production
would break ;all previous rec
ords in the' Industry's history.
He foresaw no general price
boost in the near future although
the price of certain specific prod
ucts might go up.
Financing Need Seen
However, Blough said "a vital
need"' "for expanded production
facilities might 'require fiancing
through higher prices unless the
government resumes sufficient
depreciation allowances. Federal
authorities recently curtailed the
program of rapid depreciation
for new steel producing instal
lations. :
' Blough said the 1955 output
for the nation's steel mills
would run 3,000,000 to 4,000,000
tons -above the previous record
of 111,600,000 tons set in 1953.
He anticipated no . letup in
steel demand (now a record) at
least through the first quarter of
1956. He would make no com
ment beyond that point.,
The dividend was boosted by
15 cents to 65 cents a share. That
will bring dividends for 1955 to
$2.15 a share on common.
