Expect Majors To Drop Fight On Pension Plan NEW YORK, UP — Baseball’s big league club owners were expected to drop today, like the "hot potato” it has become, the whole idea of wiping out the players’ pension program. The final word on the controversy that has introduced a note of. discord into the major leagues’ annual meeting was to come from a joint meeting of the American League and National League owners regarding the proposal of the game's executive committee that the pension plan be scrapiped. It was learned that the American League owners would vote to keep the pension program. Whether National league owners would follow suit was not known. But, should a deadlock arise, !♦ is virtually certain that commissioner Ford Frick will rule in favor of keeping the plan. For one thing, Frick has stated positively several times during the past week that he favors pensions. For anothers, he said when appointed commissioner that he would settle deadlocks by voting in favor of “no change.” Though the owners are expected to maintain the “status quo” as regards pension, there is no indication that they, intend to grant the plqyers any of the demands they made for larger pension pay ments ami for lowering the starting pension age from 50 to 45. Frick, meanwhile, added fuel to the dispute raging about the nowfamous Sept. 29 meeting of the executive council at which the proposal to scrap the pension plan was born. At that meeting a “resolution” was adopted, suggesting that the owners appoint a committee to study ways of ending the program. \ Frick declared that player representatives Allie Reynolds and Ralph Kiner were present at the meeting — and that both “voted yes” on the resolution. The commissioner said the presence of Kiner and Reynolds and theii*"yes” votes on the’resolution are “a matter of record in the minutes of this meeting.” On the other hand, both Kiner of the •Chicago Cubs and (Reynolds of the New York Yankees heatedly dedied at their homes that they even knew such a resolution had been adopted, much less voted for it. Kiner said his impression of the discussion was that it concerned whether the players would take over the administration of the program. Reynolds indicated his impression was the resolution called for a committee to study ways pf improving the pension program. Also slated for- settlement today are demands by the players for a boost in thb minimum salary from 35,000 to J7.&00, an increase in the meal allowance, and other items. \, ( McCarthy Trailing In Telegram Battle Statement Is Given By Ike's Secretary \ \ WASHINGTON UP — Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty said today the administration's side is “slightly ahead” in the battle of telegrams between the White House and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis. Having said that, Hagerty announced that the White House had issued its “k>st word” on tne subject of the ‘’McCarthy telegrams.*’ The contest stems from an appeal made by McCarthy last Thursday than persons who feel as he does wire or write President fcisenhower protesting U. 8. aid tp allies who trade with Red China. Before putting the White House lid on any further publicity about the contest, Hagerty said about 25,00© telegrams and the same number of letters had been received. McCarthy is running ahead in the letters, Hagerty said. This was the first time the Whi|e House claimed a majority of telegrams in its favor. As of last Saturday, Wfyen 4,300 telegramk had been received, McCarthy’s views were leading by more than 24, according to a Whitt House tabulation at the time; - “At the present time, in the telegrams that have conne to ’he White House, the point of view of the administration is slightly ehead.” Hagerty told reporters. “I am not going to give you any breakdown or any figures and this Is the last I’m going to say on the »ikbjact.”\ •’ In its last previous report, the White House said the flow of telegrams was subsiding.

New York's Papers Resume Publication 12-Day Strike In New York Settled NEW YORK, UP —Metropolitan daily newspapers hit the street* today for the flr*t time since a strike of photo-engraver* shut down their plants 12 days ago. Presses began to roll Tuesday night at three morning newspapers which suspended publication Nov. 28. Their first edition* were on newsstands within five hours afU er photo-engravers voted to end a strike which had idled 20,000 employes of six major New York newspapers with a daily circulation of more than five million. Three afternoon papers also affected by the strike were scheduled to appear with regular edition* later in the day. Member* of the AFL photo-en-graver* union voted shortly before 4 p.m. EST Tuesday to accept a 13.75 “package”' wage increase with a provision that a fact finding board would recommend whether their demands for a greater increase and a shorter week were justified. The photoengravers were demanding a |ls “package” when the walkout began, and latter Scaled down the figure to |7.50. A three - member fact - finding hoard planned to meet today to consider the .wage question and the union demand for a reduction in its hour work week. The board expects to make its recommendations next Monday or Tuesday. Photo-engravers now earn a basic wage of 1120 to 4131 a week. AFL President George Meany was chosen to represent labor on the fact-finding panel and Richard W. Slocum, general manager of the Philadelphia Bulletin, to represent management. They were to choose a third independent member when they met here today. The photo-engravers before they struck had rejected an offer of the publishers to submit the wage dispute to arbitration. The decision of an arbitrator i*> binding on both parties, but the recommendations of a fact-finding board are not binding. < New Yorkers who had been with out regular newspaper reading fare since a week ago Sunday crowded eagerly around newsstand) Tuesday night to buy first editions of the News, Mirror and Times. The Times published a 16-page paper without advertisements.

Adams said today. ) The Columbia City industrialist, who formerly headed the toll road commission, issued a statement expressing hik opposition to a route selected by the present commission. That route —“A”—runs near the Michigan border. Adams Baid he and “millions of sane, sensible Hoosiers who have no ax to grind” favor route “B” —between U. S. 20 and 6. “Sentiment is practically 100 percent against route A,” Adams said. "If route A is followed, the time will come when Indiana’s toll road will be looked upon as the greatest blunder in the life of Indiana. ( He called the 280 million dollars worth of bonds to be sold to finance the road “a dizzy, staggering sum” and said the attitude of the commission is to “jam through”, the project “without givingl eaders of business and industry a chance to be heard.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat | Want Ad.
