Michigan State And Notre Dame In Top Clash NEW YORK (INS) , —Notre Dame's unbeaten, untied and uuscored upon football team takes a crack Saturday at the $64,000 ques-tion-can the Irish beat Michigan StateT The official odds say they can, by six points, but the upset-minded Spartans and even the Irish themselves are not so sure. Terry Brennan, coach of the country’s third-ranking team, is expecting trouble at East Lansing when the two Midwestern Goliaths collide before a sell-out crowd of 55,000 and a nationwide television audience (NBC. 3 p. tn. EDT). “(Michigan State Is the fastest team Notre Dame meets this season," Brennan said Thursday night. “We beat them, 20 to 19, last year and the boys said they were the toughest team we played. Now hey've got seven of their first team back. They're our first singlewing team." Brennan has had to rebuild his entire defense for this game. After three straight weeks against the split-T, he Irish run ino a multiple offense which includes the single wing and numerous variations of the T. "That’s one thing that has me worried,” Brennan confessed. “Our line isn't used to the single wing plays and our boys have not re acted as well as we had hoped." Whether the Irish are prepared or not, they’re still slim favorites on the basis of impressive victories over Southern Methodist, Indiana and rugged Miami, not to mention their unsulled goal line. Michigan State, which will match quarterback Earl Morrall-who hit on 12 Os 18 passes to data-agains Paul Hornung, has trounced Indiana and Stanford. The Spartans lost by one touchdown to the coun ; try’s top team, Michigan, although out-running and out-passing the Wolverines.

TO ALL CITIZENS OF DECATUR • 1 The following letter has been mailed to the homes of all Decatur General Electric employees. It is reprinted here so that the community may be fully apprised of the substantia) losses our hourly rated employees at Decatur are sustaining and will continue to sustain unless and until the 5 Year “better living” package offer is accepted by the UE representatives. - — . ‘ ’ * 6fNERAL® ELECTRIC COMPANY GENERAL PURPOSE COMPONENT MOTOR DEPARTMENT DECATUR PLANT . , . 500 NORTH 9th STREET - • • DECATUR, INDIANA . , . PHONE 8-3141 October 12, 1955 To All Decatur Employees Represented by Local 924 UE: ■. ,;■ _ ■ ‘?' ■ '/./.1l 2~, ■■ ... ..C* ! , t .• 9 t ■' lk . _ ’ • f Dear Fellow Employees, We keep asking ourselves, and perhaps many of you are asking yourselves, why must Decatur employees continue to lose out on the improved pay and benefits as covered in the five year package offer ? And how long will you be expected to lose out ? This same package offer has been accepted by unions affiliated with both AF-l and CIO and some independent unions at 75 bargaining tables throughout (he country, and it has been hailed by union officials and the public in such terms as "A Splendid Offer,” "Epic," "History Making,” etc. The 32 better living features including-incjeased pay, improved pension, insurance and other wialhwhile. benafita. have allo £nliad -to mM only tha _ , . salaried people at Decatur but to olher non-represented groups throughout the country. In all, well over 200,000 GE employees are already enjoying “better living” under the terms of this highly praised package offer. This offer, if applied here at Decatur, would mean increases in job rates and paid rates from 41/3 to 15 cents per hour, plus additional (tax free) further take-home pay of from P/2 to 2V2 cents per hour by reducing the pension contributions by one percent now and still further one percent additional (tax free) take-home in 1958. This same five year package offer further provides for automatic increases Mn pay for the next four years of three percentand up, protected by a cost of living adjustment feature. - The offer contains nine improved features for better pensions,, a history-making comprehensive insurance plan unique in American industry (effective* November 1, 1955). This new and substantially improved comprehensive type of insurance coverage is available to both the employee and his dependents, plus very substantial increases in the amounts of life insurance. There are five other improved benefits including payment for death in the immediate family up to three days for each such death. With such universal acceptance generally, only the UE top command seems to be holding out. Where employee ratification has been held with other unions, employees themselves have in most areas overwhelmingly accepted this offer. The offer has been so well accepted that there is no likelihood that this offer would or should be changed. Decatur hourly rated employees so far have lost out in take home pay alone more than $20,000 and these losses will continue to mount. Also for those who would stand to benefit from the improved insurance, pension and other benefits, these losses mount higher. With a no further meetings scheduled and no apparent action being taken, this loss could go on until September 15, 1956 or even longer, if your Union continues to hold out. As your local Plant Manager, I do not, of course, know why this needless delay or hold ■ out is taking place but Ido feel that since the same contract items and same benefits have generally applied to all GE employees in previous years, and since this whole package offer has been so universally accepted and has been generally hailed as a good offer everywhere, it has been my hope that your union officials would find some way to stop this loss in pay and benefits for our hourly rated people here at Decatur. Yours very truly, . ..Ui ■ | John F. Welch, ‘' Plant Manager jdSL ->■ 4-, J JFW:mc atu. A. .
