Ching said tjxlay the CIO t)|| workers have agreed to consider his request for a one-week postponement of a nationwide oil refinery strike. The walkout is scheduled for midnight Sunday.

Knight told him “a ; reply to this request will be made at the earliest possible moment.'’ Ching said Knight also accepted his invitation to attend an "exploratory" conference tomorrow With officials of six big oil companies to discuss t hex issues In the wage dispute. Ching wanted both sides that a strike would be a “serious threat I to. our defense effort and to our national economy.” "livery effort must be piade to avoid such a work Ching said. Knight told Ching the union will continue negotiations “as long as there is a possibility of settlement •without the necessity of strike action aijti subsequent hardship to the general public and harm to the defense effort." ’ \ The CIO union and several AFL and independent unions' are demanding a 25-cent hourly wage boost. Several companies have offered 10 cents, but have been turned down by the unions. The CIO union, representing abbu.t 90,000 workers, is tjhe only one! to have served a notice. (Company officials have warned that it takes three days to close down a refinery without damage. > Thle strike deadline, in j effect, therefore -is Friday. A shutdown, even if no twalkout followed.-would cost the’nation at 'leafst a supply of Mtal oil ? production, mediation officijals esti-, malted.

Defense Agreement Fine Print Scanned i ! ts: •. | r x ■ ?| |. Defense Army For Europe Not Sure Washington, Ifeb. 27—(UP) — The Qpe print in documents of international agreement is alike in one respect to the fine priht ir leases and insurance policies/ Peo pie are not. likely to read it< Only now after fan overly optimistic Weekend the fine print in west|ern European defense plans is gefr ting its share of attention in foreign dispatches. The sreat achievement of laiit Week’s Noifth Atlantic treaty organization defense conference iff Lisbon Svas the solemn political agreement7obtained for creation off a pooled| defense army. The idep was hatched only last July. 1 The Chances against it from! the start. Tree chances are much better now, But it still is no surp thing. Furthermore, the “50 divisions by 1953]”' which is about all most hurriqd readers will remember of the agreement, are not really 50 divisions.! Dispatches are beginning to refer Jto them as a goal. 0 The fine -print in the defense plan suggests that only three of every five of those divisions actually will be equipped and for combat by next January. The facts are tpat western European defense plans have had to be cut back more than once since the pooled Army was projected. It is quite possible that they will have to be cut back again. ' Therb certainly is no assurance that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will have 50 divisions —about 30 actually ready fqr combat —by the end of tjils year. Instead, there is Some doubt pf.it. And there seems to be absolutely no hope thht any defense goal wilt be exceeded this yeair or next. 7|hat is the story of the fine ptlnt in the defense agreement. The Times of London already has jounced t>n the Lisbon defense announcement. In a sharp editorial the Times called the 50 divisiohs an “injaginativd total” and the promise of 8.7 to 100 divisions later on as “still more imaginative.” ! Tartly, the paper remarked: “presumably the announcement was meant to impress someone.” True Or false on that, it is a fact that on the ioutcbine of the Lisbon defense meeting depended considerably the fath of President iT'ruman’4 request folr mutual security program funds. He ils asking congress for S7MO,OPO,OOQ. Congressional debate on that appropriation will develop many headlines from Abe fine print of defense agreement. The whole western defense picture then will be i shown in a more realistic light than ! during the past weekend. ■; f ; j\ NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS OF ADIHTIONAI, APPROPRIATIONS Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of Monroe.
