The settlement was worked out by Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary ol Labr Janus p Mitchell as a peacemaking team that may presage their nomination as the Republican choices for presi dent and vice president respectively. The agreement rails for a re ported 40 cents an hour boost in pay and benefits over a .10-month period running to July 1, 19ii0. Specific details were not an nounced pending ratification tomor row by union and industry groups. However, it was clear that the terms exceeded the bounds of what the industry had said would be noninHationary. That seemed to foretell an in crease in .steel prices, although the industry wasn't saying for the time being The magazine Steel said price hikes will inevitably result. The industry failed, too, to get the leeway it wanted to streamline its work force. Instead, the steelwork ers union merely agreed to engage in a joint study of the controversial work rules problem. The end of the eight-month long dispute wipes out the threat of a new i.teel strike later this month when a Taft-Hartley injunction is due to expire. This clears the economic skies for the start of i'JtiO as demonstrated by the fact steel and other stocks leaped to new highs on the New York Stock Exchange with the settlement news.

The news hit the Paris theatri cal and literary world with tragic suddenness. Personnel of the Freiuh National Kadio interrupted u week-long strike to broadcast a eulogy. After receiving the Nobel Prize, Camus said: "Perhaps this is the iime to write the book of my ex peiience while I still have the vi tal force to do it."

David .J. McDonald, the union's president, wa.s jubilant. He said the settlement means "peace, prosper ity and lasting happness" for the more than TMQ.m) steehvorkers. And he said the union emerged "sound, safe and secure." Workers and their families in the Pittsburgh and other steel mill aieas reacted with shouts of joy and re lief. While the settlement still must be ratitied by industry grcups and th? union's wage-policy committee to morrow. Secretary Mitchell sa!d there was "no question whatsoever" the required okavs would be forth coming. In the wind up drive, Nixon and Mitchell made their basic recom mendation on New Year's Eve. There followed another flurry of meetings which ended in a mara thon. 22-hour session that started Sunday and continued all last night. Although the terms of the settle ment were not announced, they quickly became generally known from various sources. According to these sources they call for substan tial insurance and other benefits up to next July 1 when a seven-cent wage boost would go into effect, followed by another seven-cent "hike on July 1, l!t;2. The spread between various wage rates would be increased by two (entlis of a cent with the first pay raise and by one-tenth of a cent vith the second pay raise. The agreement also reportedly provides for substantial boosts in insurance and pensions for workers. In addition, the industry would take over the entire cost of insurance. This cost was shared previously worker and employer. Pay changes for future living cos increases are provided, although to a limited extent. The union wa.s un derstood to have waived a four-cent Hourly living cost increase it h ac claimed due under now-expired eon rie's. The settlement also calls for a labor-management study to deter mine whether a method can be ar rangedbefore the July 1, l'.)';2 ex piration of the new agreement to distribute the fruits of the industry in pioliis and worker benefits. The idea is. if at all possible, to avoid a new Mcel-lubor battle in 12. Nixon's rote in the settlement had -bvious political advantages which may be tempered somewhat if there is an intlationary round of price increases. 1 fee til Wire Service Campus UNC Professor Chosen To Hold National Post Professor John C.
