So They Say
An Aquarius (Jan. 22-Feb. 20)
woman seldom makes the same
mistake twice. If she gets the
wrong man in a first marriage
she almost invariably gets the
right man on her second trip to
the altar. Aquarian women are
smart dressers, witty, lively and
affectionate. They cannot be
dominated. Their lucky numbers
are three and four. They are
most happily married when wed
to a man born under Pisces, or
so say the stargazers.

Westinghouse Rejects Proposals
Pittsburgh (U.R) Westing
house Electric Corp., rejecting
proposals by two governors to
submit strike issues to arbitra
tion, stepped - up its gigantic
Christmas loan operations today.
First day distribution of $100
interest-free loans to striking or
furloughed workers neared the
quartermillion dollar mark Mon
day. Company paymasters antici
pated a rushing loan business
when .disbursements begin today
at the huge East Pittsburgh
plant and at Fairmont, W. Va.
Of a total of 13,000 employed
at East Pittsburgh, 10,000 are
eligible for loans to tide them
over for the holiday season. The
potential one million dollar loan
at East Pittsburgh is one-seventh
of the 7-million dollar total the
company is prepared to disburse
to 55,000 striking employees.
Workers crossed their own
picket lines in five states Mon
day when the "big payoff"
began.
The International Union of
Electrical Workers, which rep
resents 44,000 members out of
30 plants, quickly approved
pleas by Pennsylvania Gov.
George M. Leader and New
York Gov. Averell Harriman to
submit the strike to arbitration.
But Westinghouse President
and Chairman Gwilym A. Price
fired off telegrams to the gov
ernors rejecting the proposal.
Price said he did not wish
the company to "abdicate its
responsibility" by accepting tiia
