Eisenhower Defers Comment DENVER (# — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower deferred comment to- day on nomination of Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois as the Demo- eratic presidential nominee—and on President Truman’s fighting speech blasting the Republicans. Campaign headquarters of the general, the GOP presidential can- | didate, indicated he might have ; something to say later in the day, after the Democratic Natonal Con- vention nominates a Stevenson run- ning mate. | Eisenhower, vacationing about 70 | miles west of here in the Colorado | Rockies, listened over the radio | Friday to the early balloting in | Chicago on selection of a Demo- cratic standard bearer. But there was no immediate word at his headquarters here whether the gen- eral sat up for the nomination of Stevenson and for the Truman} nd Stevenson speeches, made | early today. There was no inclination in the | Eisenhower camp to look for any- Eisenhower camp to look for any- thing but a difficult campaign against Stevenson. As the general has done, the | Mlinois governor promised to wage | @ fighting campaign. There was no inclination, either, among Eisenhower associates to discount the role Mr. Truman plans to play in the campaign. “I am going to take off my coat and do everything I can to help you win,” the President told wildly cheering Democratic delegates at the Chicago convention. Eisenhower headquarters took it to mean another campaign like the successful one Mr. Truman carried on in 1948 against Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, then the GOP presi- | dential nominee. Eisenhower and his vice-presi- dential running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California, will meet Sunday to chart campaign strategy for the fight against the Demo- cratic ticket. They will confer at the general's vacation cabin near Fraser, Colo. President Rhee PUSAN, Korea (#—South Korean President Syngman Rhoee will stand for re-election on Aug. 7.

CIO President Philip Murray and producers signed the White House memorandum of agreement which stated unequivocally the strike “will end” upon ratification by the Steelworkers’ 175-man Policy Com- mittee. Yet the day after that unanimous ratification, striking CIO Steel- workers still manned picket lines. Banked blast furnaces which the industry had said would be fired Friday night were still cool. And the strike, already the longest in the nation’s steel history, entered its 55th day. Neither side, however, expected | the impasse to continue long. Cir- cumstances surrounding the Thurs- day agreement indicated eagerness on both sides to restore production | as soon as possible. But industry officials said they were “amazed and disillusioned’ at the unexpected development. The fly in the ointment was not | the critical dispute which set off the steel strike on June 2. It was, rather, a companion strike of 23,000 iron ore workers in Minnesota far from the heart of the nation’s big- gest industry. These ore workers, who are members of the Steelworkers’ union, walked off the job a few | hours after the Steelworkers struck. They demanded the same wage , and other concessions asked by the ; Steelworkers together with elimi- nation of wage differentials be- tween themselves and tke Steel- workers, whose pay rates are con- | siderably higher. The agreement signed at the | White House had two parts: One | between the union and the Big Six; the other between the union |and the Iron Mining Division of U. S. Steel. , The later pact included nearly all the terms in the basic steel agreement, plus separate condi- tion which committed the industry to eliminate “in part’ the wage | differential “‘as of the end of the | strike” and the balance next July i. The industry and the union late agreement over a snag in the ore situation The union said ore companies which did not sign the White House memorandum of agreement were holding out for terms unacceptable to the union. The mining companies said the union was insisting on working out fairly complete contract language before sending out back-to-work notices, not only in the ore mines, but in the steel mills too. Federal officials said actual con- companies was not intended to hola ract writing with the various p the strike’s end. Industrial accidents cost the nation $2,600,000,000 a year and most occur in small plants with 100 or fewer workers, reports the National Association of Mutual Casualty Companies.

Only the re- lative few earned or had a rea- sonable hope of earning as much. Even nowadays, with record taxes and a four-bit dollar, it is far more than most families ever see, the average income being in the neigh- borhood of $3,000. Yet there is a $10,000 a-year class of people in this country who simply can’t make both ends meet, economize as they will. That, at least, is the theme of a fascinat ing article in the July issue of Har- per’s magazine, called “Going Broke on $10,000 a Year,” ich is signed with the pseudonym Jay Taylor. This class consists of jun- ior business executives who must put up a front, appear to live very well, have good addresses, enter- tain as a part of their jobs, and donate generously to charities and | other worthy causes. Mr. Taylor | writes early in his article: “I'm | a symbol—and a simpleton. I’m a symbol of the group from which | drawn, a group now being liqui- , dated. . . .” My. Taylor goes into meticulous detail as to his finances, and it's | quite a story. Last-year, he wrote, he earned $10,400 and spent $10,- 456. And here, in capsule form, is what happened to his money. To get the full flavor of the account, | of course, the whole article should | be read. First of all he actually got not $10,400 but $8,978, taxes having a¢- | counted for the difference. His first | outgo was for rent—$1,656. This, he says, is about as little as he | could pay without moving to so | cheap a neighborhood that he would lose cast with his associates and endanger future promotions. Several hundred dollars went out for unavoidable household expen- got $2,049, or some $40 a week, to buy the food and other supplies needed by a family of four. Fur- niture swallowed $274, and insur- ance $471. Mr. Taylor has no car and says he can’t possibly afford one, but commutation tickets cost him $180 and are scheduled to go \up in price. Doctor and dentists accounted for $2644, and the children’s expenses, such as their clothes and school books and a summer camp, dug in to the tune of $241. He and his ‘wife spent only $173 on clothing for themselves. Gifts and holiday expenses totaled around $500 all told, and there was a miscellan- eous item of $364,,.which included such odds and ends as church con- tributions, wood, bushes and bulbs for the garden. So it goes, in Mr. Taylor's sum- mation—everything is accounted for down to the penny, save $133 for which he has no records, ‘None of the items of expenditure seem at all high for a man in his position —many of them seem almost amazingly low. Mr. Taylor’s conclusion fs typ!- cal of the tone of his article: ‘‘So I speak as one small symbol of a class. I look at the broken down occasional chair which shoujd have been replaced a year ago. I post: pone my trip to the dentist for another six months in hopes that the pediatrician’s bill can be paid in the interval. And I realize that I belong to a new class of forgot- ten men in whom no labor leaders, politicians, farmers, corporation presidents, or commencement speakers take any vested interest— the $10,000-a-year men, Vanquished Americans.
