CHICAGO, May 26 —(UP.)— Wil-

the CIO Packinghouse Workers still
are striking, has sent a letter con-
taining an official offer to its em-

The letter promises the 9-cefht
wage hike for which the union set-
tled with other packers. And it
promises no discrimination for strike
activity and unchanged vacation
and seniority rights. But the com-
pany said it would not re-hire
strikers who engaged in serious law
breaking.

proposed bills today, trying to decide which ones to work on
befre Congress adjourns on June 19th.
Chairman Robert Taft of the
Senate Republican Policy com-
mittee has called his group to-

the senate should work overtime
to clear its slate. The committee
also will discuss which

The house met two hours early
today to speed passage of the bill.

this session. An informed source
p^ays the GOP members feel oppo-
sition to the draft will cause house
speaker Martin to repeal his order
for quick action. If he does, there
is a good chance the draft bill
will be put on ice.
