Other major labor developments rnrtsv included: The 200.000 members of the CIO United Electrical Workers 'Union were told by their negotiators to start thinking about a strike against the General Electric and westing The union men seek wage and wplfaw benefits, and said they are meeting "stubborn refusal" from the companies to consider them. The companies said a wage boost at this time is "unwarranted. Management and union representatives discussed plans for settling the six-dav old Missouri Pacific Railroad strike affecting 11 Mid west and Southwest states.

Both sides sair they were opumiiuc about an early settlement Workers at the Great Lakes Steel Michigan's largest steel pro ducing firm, voted 7 to 1 for a strike in a state conducted election. The vote merely gives the 'CIO United Steelworkers legal authority under state law to call a strike if they see fit to back up contract demands. At Dayton, the strikebound B. F. Goodrich announced it had offered the findings of the steel industry's fact-finding board as a basis for negotiations in the rubber industry.

Some 16.000 CIO United Rubber Workers are on strike in Goodrich plants in seven states. They had demanded a 25 cents hourly wage boost and company financed monthly pensions of $100. $400,000 BOND ISSUE SLATED AT SALISBURY SALISBURY.

The funds will be used to finance the first phase of the proposed incinerator and sewage treatment plant. The incinerator, costing $261,000, will be built first. Harry H. Cooper, city solicitor, said an ordinance for the bond sale will be introduced Monday. F.

A. Grier, chairman of the Salisbury Incinerator and sewage Treatment Plant Commission, said the low bid of $261,000 will be awarded to John H. Wood, Dover contractor.

Steels chief was nigniy critical of the fact-finding board's recommendation that the industry finance the proposed pension: "The contributory principle 11a With the exception of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. at Pittsburgh, major steel companies had no com ment on U.

S. Steels action, a spokesman for Jones and Laughlin declared: "We have already told Mr. Mur ray that we are willing to resume negotiations and use the fact-finding board's recommendations as a basis for the discussions. We haven't had a reply. But we wish to emphasize that we certainly are not committed to accept the board's rec ommendations we will use them only as the basis to start talks again." become firmly established in this country over a period of years which is sound, desirable and equitable." Fairless declared.

"The largest of all social insurance programs is that provided by the Federal Social Security Act. To support that federal program, employer and employe each contribute an equal amount. "All of the state systems which have thus far been established to provide non-occupational disability benefits require employes to contribute a substantial part of the cost. A large majority of the industrial group life insurance plans now in effect, including that of U. S.

Steel, require employe contributions. The hundreds of companies now having such a contributory arrangement include most of the prominent industrial concern of the country." Murray Withholds Comment Murray didn't comment immedi ately. A spokesman said he was studying Big Steels reply and that no answer could be expected before tomorrow at the earliest. Murray gave up his fight for a fourth round wasre increase for his men who average around $1.65 an hour. But he insists on an insurance and pension programs financed entirely by the industry.

Spurring him on is the $100 monthly pensions paid to the United Mine Workers. John L. Lewis got the coal industry to foot the entire cost of the pensions by 20-cent a ton royalties on coal. In its report, the President's factfinding board made these three essential recommendations: 1. Workers should forego demand for a fourth round (since the end of World War ID pay boost.

2. Labor and industry should get together on company financed pen sion plans to go into effect next year. 3. The company and union should work out now satisfactory insurance plans paid for by employers. The board suggested that six centj of its suggested 10-cent hourly package go to pensions and four cents for insurance.

In asserting U. S. Steel would willing to pay the four cents an hour suggested by the board, Fair-less pointed out that his company "has had both a pensiorf and group life insurance plan," adding: "In the current labor negotiation, United States Steel has not opposed a proper program of social insurance financed jointly by employer and employe. In fact, it has twice previously made to the union a very liberal proposal for social insurance. What constitutes a proper program of social insurance should be capable of determination in collective bargaining." Would Set Pattern Fairless said if the recommendation of a non-contributory welfare program is accepted by the steel industry "the public at large should recognize that a national pattern for a non-contributory system of social insurance and pensions win have been set for all time and for all industry in this country.

"The continuance of the many contributory plans now in effect in American industry will then be seriously in jeopardy." Fairless wired his reply to Murray. He told the CIO chieftain: "In your telegram of today, you dictate that we shall accept the recommendations of the board before entering into further bargaining negotiations with your union. "That we are unwilling to do because it is both unfair and contrary to the assurance given by th President of the United States." The corporation said it appeared before the presidential board "relying upon the expressed assurance given by the President of the United States that the recommendations of the board would not be binding upon either party." The telegram added: "We have serious doubt about th advisability of some of the recommendations of the board. However, we are willing promptly to resume collective bargaining negotiations with your union in an attempt to arrive at some mutually satisfactory solution of the issues in dispute. "We await word from you as to the time and place of such a further meeting." Big Steel said the original request from President Truman for the companies to agree to a fact-finding board "did not call for an unequivocal reply as to whether we accept the recommendations of the board." Fairless advised Murray: "If you persist in your unwillingness to engage now in further collective bargaining negotiations, the responsibility is yours, not ours." Stirs Strike Speculation U.

S. Steel's reply brought speculation in some circles that Murray would not be satisfied and mie-hfc call his men out on strike. The present extension of th steel strike truce expires at 12:01 a. m. Sept.

25. Before today's answer, U. S. SteeL the industry leader and the nation's biggest steel producer, previ ously told the union only that it is willing to resume 'contract talks during the strike truce requested by President Truman. The million member union accepted both the President's truce extension request and the factfinders proposal even though that meant giving up a fourth round wage increase this year.

Four other ste-1 companies which accepted the truce and agreed to new contract bargaining on pensions and insurance told the union they are ready to negotiate by using the board's report as a for settlement. SAF-T RODEO Le3Ve Bicycle Riders Will Public Building for duPont School at 10 P. s. A. M.

mow sisa -i i in i 1 A 81 I Commission Also Awards Contract for Furnishing Of Electric Light Bulbs The Public Building Commission last night announced the award of one contract and the advertising for bide on another. The Garrett Miller Company was awarded a year's contract for supplying the building with incandescent and fluorescent lamps. The bids will be for the supply of from 600 to 800 tons of bituminous coal. Bids, to be opened the latter part of the month, should be addressed to Robert J. Forman, superintendent of the Public Building.

Mr. Forman told the commissioners that work on the elevator from the jail to Municipal Court is expected to be completed this week.

A public hearing on the deepening of the Christina River will be held by the U.

S. Engineers' Office on Tuesday at 10:30 a. while the State Board of Accountants will conduct certified public accountants' examinations on Nov. 16-17-18. Brennan Case- Continued From Ftrat Page and Caleb R.

Lay ton HI. At the same time Benjamin R. Donolow, chief defense counsel, asked that his client's remarks be made a part of the court records. Defendant Warned The chief justice ruled, however, that the remarks be stricken from the record and instructed Mr. Donolow to inform his client that Robert was not to make any remarks until sworn as a witness.

The defense attorney walked back to the youth and cautioned him. Mrs. Brennan remained silent during the outburst by her son. The defense counsel sought to show during most of the afternoon that Robert was held in custody by police for a greater time than necessary without legal counsel, and had not been arraigned before a committing magistrate within a reasonable time. He claimed again that Robert had been held in violation of the 14th amendment and once more asked for a retraial which was denied by the court.

As on Tuesday Donolow took many exceptions when his various objections to questions were overruled. He attempted to show that the state had failed to establish a corpus delicti Nut Mr. James argued that the question of death was established and that death was criminally caused. Establishing Corpus Delicti Mr. James pointed out that Wool-dridge's false teeth had been identified by relatives, that Mrs.

Dolly Thompson Dean, a housekeeper at the Brennan farm, had testified she heard Robert say "I killed the old man and shot off half his face," that she identified a shirt of Wool-dridge's; that there had been statements pertaining to the burial by George and Robert of Wooldridge; also as to Robert's attempt to wash blood stains from the barn steps and cited other incidents to establish corpus delicti. As a result of one of the legalistic arguments while the jurors were out of the room, the court held that testimony of Lieutenant Cochran inasfar as it relates to Robert's conversations with him and as to the youth's identification of certain articles allegedly owned by Wooldridge, would, be confined to April 15 and 16. Mr. Donolow brought out that when Lieutenant Cochran took Robert back to the Brennan farm and reported to Captain Lamb the alleged statement that the youth made about killing Wooldridge, Deputy Atty- Gen. Henry J.

Ridgely was at the farm. The defense wanted to know if the deputy attorney general had warned the youth of his constitutional rights. The officer said he did not hear any of the conversation that the youth and Mr. Ridgely might have had. Asked if he had told Robert of his rights, Lieutenant -Cochran repeated what he had heard Captain Lamb tell the Brennans when they were arrested: "Anything you say at this time may be used in court against you." Lack of Counsel Charged Donolow sought to show that Robert, or as the attorney referred to him, "Bobby," was without counsel from the time of his arrest on April 15 to April 22 when he was arraigned before Judge Ernest V.

Keith in the court of Common Pleas. Much of the questioning alone this line was done in the absence of the jury In an effort to determine whether Robert's statements to Cochran were made voluntarily. C. Edward Duffy, chief deputy attorney general, objected to Dono-low's term "cold storage" during the questioning: of Cochran. The defense attorney had.

asked the lieutenant if Robert had been kept in "cold storage." "Where did you get that term?" Judge Layton asked Donolow. "It's a term, used by police" answered the attorney. "By our police?" asked the jurist. "I don't know," said the attorney. Cochran said Robert had been offered counsel on the early morning of April 16 and on "numerous other occasions." He described the room where" Robert was questioned, intermittently at the police statioja from 2 p.

Oct. 15 to 3 a. m. on the following day. Victim's Knife Found The lieutenant brought out that a knife found in Robert's possession was identified by the youth as property of Wooldridge and had been taken from the victim's pocket.

Mr. Donolow brought out during the examination of Cochran that the gun which had been claimed originally as the death weapon during the first days of the investigation was not the one used. Police confiscated three guns at the farm. One of the other two was later found to be the alleged murder weapon. The defense attorney, near the end of the session, asked Cochran who placed initials 5-D" on the wooden treads of the barn steps which Robert allegedly chopped down fol- A series of automobile accidents! yesterday and last night claimed the life of a Millsboro man and brought injuries to a Wilmington woman.

Alvah F. Bunting, 22, of Millsboro, was killed instantly when the automobile he was driving ran off the road five miles east of Dagsboro overturned and crashed into a tree. Donald Penuel, 20, of Frankford, a passenger in the car, suffered a laceration of the scalp. The death brought Delaware's highway fatality toll to 54. For the same period last year, 44 persons were killed.

Fails to Make Turn State police said Bunting's car was traveling fast at the time and failed to make a turn on the Sandy Landing Road to Vines Creek Camp. He was to have attended his son's second birthday party later in the day. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha Mae Lingo Bunting, his son, Roy; his mother, Mrs. Olive Bunt-inz of Frankford, and five brothers, Oeoree.

William. David, Richard, and Horace Bunting also of Frankford. Funeral services will be held from the Watson and Gray Funeral Home at Millsboro, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. J.

J. Von Hagel, pastor of the Frankford Methodist Church, will officiate. Interment will be in the Carey Cemetery at Frankford. Woman Injured Mrs. Mary B.

Berry, 66 of 2105 Bavnard Boulevard was injured while attempting to cross the Tenth and Market Street intersection. She was treated at the Delaware Hospital for contusions and lacerations. Police said she was struck by an automobile driven by Charles L. Short, 24, of 429 East Fourth Street. Short was arrested on a charge of assault and battery by automobile.

Over $200 damage was caused when automobiles operated by Benjamin Baker, 25, 429 East Fourth Street, and Charles Ferraro, 39, of Berlin. N. collided in front of 327 East Fourth Street. Police said Baker was attempting to back into a parking space when struck by the other car. A deputy fire chief's car was damaged at Twelfth and French Streets when police said it was struck by another automobile, causing damages estimated at $60.

Police said the car, owned by the Bureau of Fire, wm driven by Fireman Henry H. Wurtele of 41HSouth Franklin Street. The other car was operated by John E. Rogers, 24, of Philadelphia. Rogers was arrested on a charge, of failing to use due In another accident, $200 damage was caused when cars driven by Howard M.

Sparks, 41, of 2622 Madison street, and Bernhardt Ebert, 21, of Dover, collided in front of 416 Maryland Avenue. Police said Sparks stopped in the line of traffic and his car was struck in the rear. Lewis Continued From First Paso they will condone the brutal, savage policy of Mr. Francis which may precipitate a social convulsion in the mining areas of this country." A reply from Cleveland Trust to Lewis, made public in Washington by the National Coal Association, follows "Replying to your telegram the the Cleveland Trust Company is a banking institution, does not own any stocks in either Island Creek Coal Company or Pond Creek Pocahontas Company. "The Cleveland Trust Company as trustee of the Holden Trust holds a substantial but not a controlling stock interest in Island creek Coal Company, and only a very nominal stock interest in Pond Creek Pocahontas Company.

"As such trustee we do not control and we do not operate these coal companies. In the opinion of the management of these coal companies, no contract has been in effect since July 1 and therefore no obligation exists to pay any money into the welfare fund without a written contract." The telegram to Lewis was signed by Freiberger. Operators producing 25 to 50 million tons of coal annually in the Southern fields have held back the July payments, due Aug. 20. They say the contract which required the royalty expired June 38.

Lewis ordered miners to continue work indefinitely under" the old terms, but limited the work week to three 'days to help cut abnormal stock piles of coal while he bargains. At today's contract session, mfners and operators immediately fell into a wrangle over whether mine owners assured UMW Secretary Treasurer John Owens welfare payments would be continued during the informal working arrangement this summer. Owens, who heads the UMW negotiating team at Bluefield, said the southern group gave such assurance here Aug. 10. After today's meeting, he told a news conference the operators broke their promise about the payments.

He also said the operators have not altered their original proposals, made last May, to cut miners earn ings 85 cents a day, and drop miner pensions. Owens said the mix-up over welfare payments demonstrated that Francis "dominates and controls the Southern Coal Producers Association and whenever he elects to repudiate his negotiations he does it." President Joseph E. Moody of the Southern operators retorted at the same news conference that the miners never had made a contract proposal, that the operators were there to make an agreement, and that they twice had offered to continue the old contract prior to its expiration June 30. "But the offer to continue the old contract made no mention of a three-day week and its limitation of the operators' ability to take care Lng cold war political problems which confront the western powers. Council Discussed They said in a joint statement at the end of an hour-long meeting at the State Department that the discussion was "largely on political de velopments in Europe, including the Balkans." Also taken un were problems concerned with the forma, tion here next Saturday of the 12- nation North Atlantic Pact Council The exchange of views was described as "mutually satisfactory." The foreign policy review, which began yesterday with a three-hour discussion of Far East and Middle East questions, will be broadened tomorrow into a three-power meeting following the arrival of French For eign Minister Schuman.

All three plan to go to New York for the opening of the UN Assembly. Stolen Letters Continued From First Pace check or money order, but was an order for seats with an addressed return envelope, indicating that a cash enclosure might have been made by the sender. There was no money in this when it was recovered, however, officials said. Any person who did not receive tickets for "Life With Mother" for which a check or money order was forwarded by mail should contact The Playhouse, Mr. Cavanaugh said last night.

FRATERNITY DISCUSSES EXTENSION COURSES The discussion of extension courses arranged jointly by Wil mington Chapter, Delta Nu Alpha Transportation Fraternity, and the University of Delaware, featured the first fall meeting of the chapter at the YMCA last night. Registration for the courses will be Sept. 19 at the Wilmington High School, between 6 and 8 p. and instruction in the courses will start there Sept. 27 and continue on Tues day and Wednesday nights.

W. Douglas, chapter chairman of education, spoke on the courses at the meeting. The courses carry college credits, and are open to the public, as well as members of the chapter. While or ganized to give background to the examinations by the American Society of Traffic and Transportation Reading to a certification by the society, the courses are not exclusively for that purpose. Anyone interested in the transportation field may take them.

They also have Veterans Administration approval, and veterans may take the course under the GI Bill. METHODIST PARLEY AIMS ARE DESCRIBED The Methodist Church is a "living organism" constantly seeking to change its methods of reaching people as conditions in the world change, the Rev. Dr. Hamilton P. Fox, superintendent of the Wilmington District of the church's Peninsula Conference, declared last night.

In a broadcast over WDEL, Dr. Fox said the need for a review of methods of carrying the church's message is a principal reason for the special session of the Peninsula Annual Conference of the Methodist Church, to open today at 10 a. in Dover. Dr. Fox emphasized that the "message is ageless" and always the same that all men in all lands may find redemption in Jesus.

The Methodist Church, he said, is attempting to present that message so that it will effectively appeal to the minds of men and women everywhere.

Cochran could not explain these initials but said Robert Brennan had placed his initials on the wooden treads with yellow crayon.

Lieutenant Cochran also told of Mrs. Dean's coming to the police station on April 15 and signing a statement. The defense inquired if the statement had been read to Mrs. Brennan and Robert. Mr.

Duffy objected and said police were not under any obligation to read her statement to them and his objection was sustained. Among evidence brought into court for identification were three tarpots, which allegedly were filled with human ashes and taken to a city dump for disposal. A large piece of wood from the barn which the state contends was the portion of the floor on which Wooldridge fell, a keycase with four keys and a piece of metal. Brothers In Court It is understood that Raymond and George Brennan, charged as accessories, have been subpoenaed by the state. Both have been in court constantly and George is accompanied by his wife.

Both youths are on bail. The court made no disposition of a suggestion by the state that the jurors be permitted to visit the Brennan farm on Horse-pond Road, about 32 miles from Dover. Mr. Donolow said he would object if the defendants were not allowed to go also. Court attaches indicated there may be a session Saturday but no official announcement to that effect had been made.

Cochran, the only witness during the day, was on the stand when court recessed. Henry Olt, 55, of Marlton, N. who is said to have corresponded with Mrs. Brennan appeared in the courtroom yesterday. He has been called by the defense who implied he will appear as a character witness for the woman.

Acheson- Contlnaed From Flrtt Pare political parties, suppressed free speech, denied free worship and otherwise robbed their people of democratic rights. The two western powers formally accused them of violating their peace treaty pledges. The satellite governments, with obvious Russian support, rejected the accusation. Thereupon London and Washington sent notes invoking peace treaty provisions for setting up commissions to settle the dispute! Acheson reported: today that with their usual unanimity Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania had all rejected, the commission proposal. The three governments continue to contend they have not violated treaty guarantees of human rights, he said, but "have refused to cooperate in establishing these commissions." "In the view of this government," Acheson asserted, "they have compounded their earlier violations bj this subsequent refusal to carry oui the procedures for the settlement of disputes "The attitude shown by these three governments calls into question their good faith in signing the treaties and provides further illustration of their callous disregard of clear international obligations." The question of human rights violations by Bulgaria and Hungary is already on the agenda of the UN General Assembly which meets in New York next Tuesday, Acheson said, and Australia has proposed that the Romanian case also be taken up.

Renewing a series of conferences here today, Acheson and British Foreign Secretary sevln discussed Europe and the Balkans after agreeing that a Japanese peace treaty is urgently needed for a long-delayed Pacific settlement. Acheson reported the two in agreement on the need for the treaty, and indicated the United States and Britain may make a new bid to Soviet Russia to end a two year deadlock over what countries shall take part in drafting it. At the same time it was learned the two governments frown on the idea advanced in Athens of a Greek invasion of Albania to block further support from that country for the Communist guerillas. For the second day, the two top policy chiefs were tackling the press A. M.
