Agreement Reached in 7-Week Swift Strike
CHICAGO — (UPI) Agreement was reached last night to end a seven-week-old strike by 17,000 workers against Swift & Co., giant of the meat-packing industry.
Spokesmen for the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen and the United Packinghouse Workers predicted most of the strikers would be back on their jobs by Monday.
Union officers said picket lines would remain at Swift plants around the country until local unions approved the agreement.
The two-year pact called for pay hikes ranging from $ 8^{1/2} $ to 15 cents an hour.
Workers in the South received the lower wage increase. Swift said, to keep costs in line with competitive conditions there.
This was seen as a major victory for the company. The two unions had waged a bitter fight for equal pay for all areas of the country.
Workers at plants in the North will receive an immediate increase of $ 8_{1 / 2} $ cents an hour and an additional $ 6_{1 / 2} $ cents Sept. 1, 1960.
Workers at the Na hville plant will also receive the $8_{1 / 2}$ cent boost but will get no increase next year.
An immediate 5 cents an hour with another $ _{3/2} $ cents in 1960, was granted workers in Atlanta, Ga.
Anderson Files New Parole Suit
TOPEKA —(UPI) — Atty. Gen.
John Anderson, Jr., filed a new law-
suit against Gov. George Docking
today, charging that he illegally
paroled a convict sent up for raping
a seven-year-old girl.
The defendant with Docking in the new lawsuit, filed in Shawnee County District Court, is Aubrey Brooks Leigh, 39, whose home is Arkansas City. He now lives in Kansas City, Kan.
Two weeks ago, Anderson filed a similar lawsuit against Docking and Mrs. Anna Mae Borserine of Kansas City, Mo., who had been sentenced to $2^{1/2}$ years in the women's penitentiary for attempting to obtain money under false pretenses.
Montgomery, Ala., Jackson, Miss. Lake Charles, La, and Moultrie, Ga. A total of 19,150 workers at 37 plants and 27 branch houses walked out Sept. 4. The unions said strikes at the branch houses were being settled in local negotiations and the 2,000 workers would return as agreements are reached.
Swift said the average wage before the strike for company workers was $2.86 an hour, compared with $2,60 for the rest of the industry.
Gray Provides Sombre Setting
The quiet, thoughtful poetry of Thomas Gray blended with the gray day that was Thursday.
George Worth, assistant professor of English, read the English poet's prose and verse at the Poetry Hour. The students rested low in their chairs, listening with heavy-lidded eyes.
"He was not a full-time poet—he was a scholar at Cambridge University—and he often took as long as six years to create a poem."
"Gray was a poet who produced a small amount of poetry," said Mr. Worth in his lecture before he began to read.
Mr. Worth said that although Gray lived in seclusion at Cambridge, his work reflected a great interest in world political situations, art and literature developments and nature.
"Gray did much to revive an interest in the ancient poetry written by poets from such remote regions as Wales and Scotland.
"His works, 'The Bard' and 'The Progress of Poesy,' are similar to this ancient poetry."
To illustrate "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," Mr. Worth showed a colored slide of the Stoke Poges churchyard in England where Gray wrote the poem and is now buried.
He also showed a slide of Eton College to illustrate "Ode on the Distant Prospect of Eton College." Gray went to school at Eton College.

Humor, Love Called Answer to Inaction
LAWRENCE. KANSAS
Protest Humorous Books
"At Southwestern College, we have an unhealthy number of non-jumpers. Do you have that situation at KU?" she asked.
She explained the fear that makes "non-jumpers," and the necessity of humor in overpowering that fear. She suggested love as a tool in solving this fear.
By Thomas Hough
They are very sweet, but they never do anything. A parachute will not open until you jump, she said.
"You never know what will happen until you jump," she explained.
The president of the Kansas Division of the American Association of University Women said last night that the world is endangered by "non-jumpers"
Eleanor Hoag, professor of English and chairman of the division of language and literature at Southwestern College, Winfield, said too many people are "thinking rather than reacting in a situation."
Humor. Love Necessary
Prof. Hoag said five students in one of her classes had protested reading humorous books.
"They said they would rather read something serious that would benefit them," she said.
She explained that these students

were in gestation or had just been born at the time of Pearl Harbor. Fear of loss of security had been passed to them from their mothers.
She mentioned the recent emphasis on space.
"We do have things we're afraid of. Let's think anyway. After all, we do have the minds for it," Prof. Hoag said.
She removed her glasses and solemnly looked at the 42 women attending.
Fear Is Destructive
"Fear is the destructive force. Procrastination is our problem. Aren't there any number of things you would like to do—maybe read or study—just for pleasure?"
Prof. Hoag, who has a bachelor's degree in chemistry, an M.A. in science, and a Ph.D. in literature, asked:
"Do you laugh at people, with people, or—most important—at yourself?"
She recalled a mythology pantomime in a summer workshop she had attended.
"I thought, my goodness, what wil happen. They were the most unromantic-looking people I had ever seen.
"An old, old man and an old, old lady decided to pantomime Apollo and Daphne.
"At the performance they creaked on onto the stage, voicing uncomplimentary remarks. The man called the lady an ugly, old hag, and she called him a filthy, old goat.
And Along Came Cupid
"Then Cupid came dancing by shooting his magnificent little arrows. The man looked at the lady, murmured something about a new paint job might do wonders, and the chase began.
"Of course you know it was the

hit of the workshop," Prof. Hoag said.
Prof. Hoag placed her light-violet glasses on the table. She asked:
"Are we able to live as we think we should live?"
Love Is Force
"If we could destroy this feeling of guilt,we could send home half the people in mental institutions."
"Actually, we try to establish a dynamic peace so we won't feel too guilty at the end of the day," she said.
"It was a great relief to me to find I didn't have to like the people I loved," she explained.
Prof. Hoag said that love is the resurrecting force for removing the mental anguish of people who are obsessed with a feeling of guilt or insecurity.
"We have such a responsible stewardship to defend that we should constantly work at it. After all, we know how intelligent we are. We should respond."
"But that does not keep me from being disposed in their favor. Fortunately most of us are well-drilled in a New England conscience that makes us treat them a little kindler.
Cost of Living At Record High
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The government reported today that the cost of living rose to a record high in September with prices of all major goods and services except transportation joining in the climb.
The labor department's consumer price index rose to 125.2 in September, four-tenths of an index point higher than in August. The index, which uses 1947-49 average prices as a base of 100, has risen in five of the past six months. It fell slightly in August after reaching 124.9 in July.
But it held out hope of a decline in food prices in October and November, possibly including big reductions in meat prices. Food prices rose three-tenths of one per cent in September, partly because of seasonal increases in meat, eggs and dairy products.
H. E. Riley, labor department price chief, said the steel strike might be causing temporary shortages of some goods. But he was unable to say whether they might lead to price hikes not otherwise expected.
The September increase meant a wage boost for 1,226,000 workers whose pay is tied to the price index by labor-management contracts.
