echoed in foreign capitals.
SOME CONGRESS MEMBERS called for swift atomic revenge

of the atrocity killings was kept
secret so long.
Expressions of indignation and
horror came from delegates to

demands for UN counter action.

CIO Steelworkers Unon
To Press for Pay Raise
ATLANTIC CITY --(P)- The
wage-policy committee of the
CIO's steelworkers union decided
yesterday to press the steel in-
dustry for a substantialpayraise,
a guaranteed annual wage and
20 other concessions.
And it appeared that the mil-
lion-man union was ready to buck
the Wage Stabilization Board in
an effort to ease wage controls and
get more money.
Operetta Tickets
Still BeingSold
The bad Barronets of Ruddigore
will appear again at 8 p.m. today
and tomorrow when "Ruddigore"
is presented at the Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theatre.
Thecomicmelodrama is being
presented for the first time in Ann
Arbor by the Gilbert and Sullivan
Society. Complete with an ances-
tral line of ghosts, a pretty hero-
ine, two heroes and a choreis of
professional bridesmaids, "Ruddi-
gore" is a parody of late eighteenth
century melodrama.
Tickets for the show can still
be obtained at the theatre box of-
fice. They cost $1 and 75 cents.
PHILIP MURRAY, chief of both
the CIO and the Steelworkers, said
he hoped negotiations could start
within a few weeks.
While the committee agreed
on a request for a substantial
wage increase, Murray declined
to put a figure on it. He said
this was a "negotiable factor."
However, he did say that five
cents an hour would not be enough
to meet the demand. Under the
wagestabilization formula, this
amount is all union members are
entitled to, because they got a raise
last fall.
MEANWHILE, IN Cincinnati,
President Benjamin F. Fairless of
the U.S. Steel Corporation said in
a prepared address last night that
the size of a pay raise "will appar-
ently have to be decided finally in
Washington."
He said he thought any fur-
ther steel wage increases now
"will only result in an increase
in the cost of living."
