After early confusion in Ohio, where pickets remained on duty pending definite instructions, picketing was ordered discontinued throughout the state, and A. C. E.

Postponement of the strike came as a surprise. It was announced in Washington less than two hours after My. Beirne had reported that the walk-out would start as soon as arrangements could be completed. Li Beirne explained in postponing the strike that the union executive

Developments in the steel industry were the most heartening on the labor front, although locals in at Beast four cities left their jobs despite the week's grace granted by Steelworkers’ President Philip Murray. : Mr, Murray agreed to the oneweek postponement after meeting at the White House with Benjamin Fairless, president of the U, S.

eil with the force it needs to maintain peace through special agreements between the council and member states—a task which he said must be begun immediately. The second task, Byrnes said, is to establish an atomic energy commission which he described as “a problem inseparably linked with the problem of security” and “of transcending importance.” “We must not fall to devise the safeguards necessary to ersure that this great discovery is used for human welfare and not for more deadly human warfare,” he said. He asked quick approval of the Moscow plan for ad atomic commission. In contrast to 25 years ago, Byrnes said, the United States and the American people “are deeply conscious of their responsibility.” Tribute to Past Leaders He paid tribute to Winston Churchill, the late President Roose velt, and Generallismo Stalin who realized in the darkest moments of the war that “military survival and military victory were not enough.” World war II, he said, could have been prevented if “the free nations of the world had heeded in time the practical idealism of Woodrow Wilson, Lord Robert Cecil, Aristide Briand and Maxim Litvinov.” “A great responsibility now rests upon all of us,” Byrnes sald. “Upon the meeting of ‘that responsibility depends the future of civilized humanity., Let us use the institutions we have to helps one another rebuild the shattered world in which there can be real security.” ’ Premier Peter Fraser announced New Zealand's, withdrawal from the economic and social council race when the sixth U.

This left .Jugoslavia unopposed for the final place on the council. Neither side had been able to get the necessary two-thirds majority in earlier balloting. Mr. Fraser said he expected critfcism at home for his aet, but he felt that “unity is more important than anything else for the world in-the present position.” Senator Tom Connolly (D. Tex.) speaking for the American delegation, praised Mr. Fraser's act as a ‘generous, magnaminous gesture.” Sections of the British press kept up a campaign to “draft” Gen. Dwight D.
