Offer Of $2.50 As Talking Point; Strike Could End In 24 Hours If Other Companies Follow WASHINGTON, April 28 (U.R) Officers of the striking strik-ing National Federation of Telephone workers today again urged the Bell System companies to "talk money" as a quick means of ending the nationwide walkout. Union officials were hopeful that the $2.50 weekly wage increase offered by the Northwestern Bell company would loosen the purse strings of other companies in the companies' system. The union in the five states in the Northwestern system were reject-; ing the offer as "unsatisfactory," dui omciais welcomed it as a "talking point." Union officers here hoped it would prod the other companies, particularly the parent American Telephone and Telegraph Co., into making a wage offer. The companies' position posi-tion has been that they would arbitrate the whole question of wages on a regional basis without with-out first making any formal offer. Joseph A. Beirne, NFTW president, presi-dent, said at Pittsburgh that the strike could "end in 24 hours" if other managements followed the lead of Northwestern Bell and "talk money." Beirne did not mean that any wage offer would end the strike, but that offers could expedite the negotiations for settlement.

SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28 (U.R) Secretary of State George C.

I Marshall will deliver his re port to the nation over most major ma-jor radio networks from 8:30 to 9:00 p. m. EST. He gave President Truman and top congressional leaders an initial report last night in an hour and 50 minute meeting meet-ing at the White House. Tonight's radio address will be Marshall's first major foreign for-eign policy pronouncement directly to the American people since he took office in January. Marshall will not attempt to sugarcoat the failure of the seven week Moscow meeting of the council of foreifn ministers. But ! I.

Marshall's disappointment stems from the fact that the Moscow conference failed to accomplish either of two minimum American objectives. They were (1) completion com-pletion of an Austrian treaty which would restore that nation to an independent status for the i first time since the 1938 Ansch- Puss with .Germany, and (2 agreement ln P1"?1 on an American plan for a Big Four treaty to keep Germany disarm ed for 40 years longer.

The secretary knows now after seven weeks of arguments that it would be far easier to reach treaty agreements if the people of Europe both former allies and enemies could be freed from hunger and the need for many bare essentials 'of life. But Marshall does not discount the political factors. He well recognizes the fundamental ideological ideo-logical differences between East and West and the long struggle ahead within the nations of Europe Eur-ope especially Germany between be-tween capitalistic democracy and communism. Letter Admitted In Fraud Trial WASHINGTON, April 28 (U.R) The government today succeeded in introducing in evidence a letter let-ter through which it seeks to prove that a Kentucky lumber company was used to cloak payment pay-ment of bribes to ex-Congressman Andrew J. May. The letter was entered as evidence evi-dence in the war fraud conspiracy trial of May and three officials of the Garsson munitions combine. com-bine. In it, May allegedly wrote that he was the only one who stood to lose any money should the Cumberland Cum-berland Lumber Co., at White-burg White-burg fail to make a profit. The government contends that May received at least $53,000 from the Garsson firm for lumber that never was delivered. The defense has said it would prove that May merely acted as a fiscal agent for the Garsson combine and that officials of the war contract firm organized it for their own profit and use. But. in putting" the letter into evidence, the government set out to prove that if May merely served as fiscal agent he could not stand to lose any money and that he did not lose anything because it was not his money. |
