WAL signed with both the ALPA and IAM Friday. The company earlier signed a con tract with the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks which had call ed a strike that closed down the line's service. The new IAM pact, effective to Jan. 1, 1953, provides for a wage increase of nine cents an hour retroactive to Oct. 21, 1955 and will result in an aver age monthly pay raise of $15.60 for men covered by the agree ment. On Nov. 1, an additional nine cents an hour increase will be come effective for the duration of the contract, providing a total average wage boost of approx imately $30 a month. Tine pilots agreement provides for a four per cent increase in pay which encompasses a sup plemental pension program of the variable annuity type for all WAL pilots. Eligible pilots who choose to participate in the supplemental pension program will contribute two per cent of their gross monthly earnings. This will be matched by the company and contributions from both parties will jump to three per cent Oct. 1, 1957. The contract, effective to Oct. 1, 1957, provides the pay in crease be retroactive to May 1, 1955, expiration date ' of the former contract.

Foreign Affairs Leaders Express Aid Bill Pessimism Washington ;i).P House foreign affairs leaders voiced deep pessimism Saturday over the outlook for President Eisen hower's $4.9 billion foreign aid request which he plans to sub mit to congress Monday. House Republican leader Jo seph W. Martin, Jr. (Mass.) con ceded that heavy cuts are al most certain. Chairman James P. Richards (D-S. C.) of the house foreign affairs committee, agreed. He doubted whether the house would approve more than $2.7 billion, the amount appropri ated for the current fiscal year. Reluctant To Increase The president's request hits congress when it is both economy-minded and election con scious. Martin and Richards said it appeared that most legisla tors are reluctant to go beyond this year's foreign aid figure. Mr. Eisenhower put his mes sage in final form Saturday at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm house where he spent the week-end. The chief executive is certain to make a strong plea for his full request. He also is certain to warn that it must be grant ed in full to help head off Rus sia's new economic infiltration of under-developed countries.

(International) SCIENCE AT WORK New York (U.R) Now, "at mid-century," according to the American Foundation, medical research not only doesn't know the facts of life but is not or ganized and directed to con centrate hard enough on finding them. The foundation has just pub lished a report on its study of the present state of medical research. The study was so thor ough it took years to complete and the report fills two volumes and 1,442 printed pages. Facts-of-life mean the really basic facts upon which lesser facts depend. A man has a fever due to a virus infection. That is a lesser fact depending on the unknown intimate natures of viruses. So far medical research has dealt largely with these lesser, dependent facts. Until the basic facts upon which they depend are known medicine won't solve its "outstanding problems," which include cancer, rheumatic conditions, heart diseases, virus infections, chronic alcoholism, and schizophrenia. Funds a Problem The report found that the directions of medical research were in the process of being changed by new knowledge and new techniques in such sciences as biology, chemisary, physics, and atomic energy. The scientific search for the basic is getting new emphasis which already is showing in medical education and even in medical practice. "Year by year it becomes a little clearer, that attack on the end results of disease may be a longer way around than fund amental attack, on the normal cell and protoplasm, as a basis for understanding disturbance of them in disease," the report said. Progress in the basic sciences is handicapped by the difficulty of getting funds and approval for remote goals it isn't hard to get funds and support to develop a vaccine aginst such a viral disease as polio, but to get them for a study of intra-rela-tions between a virus and a. body cell, is hard. The report dealt with the progress of research into how the chemistry of the body man ufactures protein of which there are 100,000 kinds, according to the "educated estimate" of a fa mous chemist. Science now can take protein apart and say what went into its making. But sci ence cannot put a protein togeth er how it is done is an un known fact of life. Body Protein Chemistry Yet the answer would be most "significant" in making sick peo ple well and in keeping well people that way.

Joseph McNarney (above) denies there is any connection between his em ployment and his previous defense of the B-36 bomber produced by firm. Armed services subcommittee is probing aircraft production and profitsT (International) By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor on competent authority that medicine won't make any real progress until the facts of body protein chemistry are known. What medical research needs to do, the report said.is to establish "the relations of (body) structure to the physiological activity of chemical substances, inside and outside the body." Or take the nuceloproteins proteins combined with the acids from the nuclei of body cells. They're to be found in chromo somes and genes, which are the chemical bridges of herdity. En zymes, which trigger body chem istry, seem to be nucleoproteins. These, the report said, are "im mense, complex molecules at the very core of life." Superfical people might say the efforts to unravel'these mole cules had nothing to do with a physician treating the sick but obviously they represent basic facts of the life process which, if he knew what they were, would make any good doctor a better one. Owner Finds New Car Has 'Pheasant Catcher' Barrington, R. I. U.R) Frank B. Whittemore knew that his new car had most of the modern gadgets.
