Said the de dication, “We realize that much of what we have achieved during our years in high school has been in spired by her interest in us, and her work on our behalf.

With this observation, Postmast er Oeneral Arthur E. Summer - Held, a dog owner himself, Tues day convened a conference on how to get the mall safely past Fido's Jaws. He noted that dog bites waste “millions of the taxpayers’ dollars annually” by disabling letter car riers and Interfering with deliver ies. “In a sense.” he said, "The dog is putting the bite on his master every time he nips a letter car rier." Summerfleld asked a group of postal officials and canine consult ants, including a dog psychologist,, how to lick the problem. Right off the experts dug up a bone of con tention. Among the possibilities being considered are chemical repellents, protective clothing, dog candy, wa ter guns and “hot sticks.” The lat ter two. he quickly explained, would be considered only "where milder methods fall.” Steel Strike Could Develop On June 30 NEW YORK TO — Repre sentatives of 650,000 steel workers and the multi-bil lion dollar steel industry matched wits in contract talks today to produce a new labor agreement that would avoid ft crippling steel strike. The current contract between the United Steelworkers of Ameri ca and 172 steel companies expires at midnight June 30. If a new one Isn't negotiated by that time there could be a strike. After talking for several days on the situation In Pittsburgh, both management and the union negoti ators decided to move the parley to New York. In an effort to reach a peaceful settlement before the strike dead line. the USW and the world's three biggest steelmakers met In unprecedented joint contract talks on neutral ground here. ON STANDBY BASIS Union negotiations with the other 189 companies are on a standby basis pending outcome of talks with U. 6. Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Republic Steel corporations. These three giants account for more thgn half of all steel pro duced. in this country. . Eapta tide, represented Jw Mt negotiators, apparently disregard ed a strike threat. They met amid a peaches and cream” atmosphere, said a steel man. Contract talks were held against a backdrop of booming steel pro duction and record high sales and earnings. The experts felt the in dustry's economic condition fa - vored a peaceful settlement. PRESENT 22 PROPOSALS The steel workers have present 'd 22 proposals to the companies which, if granted in their entirety,, would cost as much as 80 cents an hour for 'ach man, the experts calculated. Thomas Campbell, editor-in-chief of the Iron Age, authorative trade journal, estimated actual awards to the union would wort: out clos er to 20 cents an hour on a pack age basis. And that would boost the price of steel sharply, it was held. Everything made of steel — auto mobiles, refrigerators, bathtubs and even hairpins — would cost more because steel consumers would be forced to pass part of the price hikes on to consumers.
