(AP Wirephoto Direct to The Herald-News) To Seek Injunction By Ben De Forest PITTSBURGH Mb The government was set today to try to put to an end at least temporarily the costly 98-day-old steel Acting under the Taft-Hartley Law, President Eisenhower yesterday directed Attorney Gen. William P.

Rogers to seek a Federal Court injunction that would send the nations 500,000 striking steelworkers back to the mills for 80 days. Plans then were made for George C. Doub, assistant attorney general in charge of tha Justice Department's civil division, to present the Injunction petition toddy in U.S. District Court here headquarters of the United Steelworkers. No.definite time for the hearing before Judge Herbert P.

Sorg was set. David J. McDonald, USW president, had said earlier that the union would fight an injunction proceeding "with might and main but he added that if it is issued, we will live up to the law of our country. The President acted yesterday only three and one-half hours after receiving a special factfinding panel's report that it had been unable to mediate the dispute and saw no prospect for an early cessation of the strike. Under the Taft-Hartley Act, the President can seek a strikeending injunction if he feels the strike imperils the nation's health, welfare or safety.

The President undoubtedly took into consideration the workers in allied industries who have been idled by the steel strike. An injunction would send the strikers back to work for an 80-day cooling-off period while negotiations for a settlement continue. If the strike still is unsettled at the end of the 80 days, the workers can strike again. The two big issues in the steel talks have been the unions demand for a wage hike from an average of $3.11 an hour and the industrys demands for changes in working rules that would enable it to save money.

Mrs. Margaret Szego, 67, of 212 Third Street, said the attack took place at Monroe and First Streets at 7:45 p.m. She did not require hospital treatment Mrs. Szego told police she had gone to the intersection to assist her husband, Sigmund, who is blind and was begging In front of St.

The strike has already idled more than 249,000 employes the auto, appliance, construction, farm equipment, railroad and other industries. More lay-offs are expected each week, Law or no Taft-Hsrtley Law.

Hardest hit is the auto industry. Sources have indicated that more than 61,000 employes of the General Motor organization alone are furloughed. Almost all GM car production is due to halt by November 1 because of a lack steel. Most observers in the auto industry believe that even if the steelworkers go back to work deliveries of the many varied types of steel needed to build cars would lag. Chrysler and Ford are better off.

Both companies said they can assemble cars well into November and probably another month. American Motors and Studebaker-Packard apparently are even better off than that.

Goheen Disagrees Other Railroads Want Mergers, Say Presidents By Joseph R.

Coyne WASHINGTON (AP) The presidents of the Erie and Lackawanna Railroads said today government approval of their proposed merger would be a springboard for further railroad consolidation, especially in the East. Great Encouragement H. Pevier, Wabash president, "They're Better Off" Widow of Diplomat Admits Killing Five Children; "Couldn't Make Ends Meet" ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) The despondent and bitter widow of a Peruvian diplomat admitted to police last night that she killed her five children by giving them a potept concoction of 74 sleeping tablets, sugar and orange juice under the pretense it was a cough medicine. Tried Suicide It would be a great encouragement to others, said Lackawannas president, Perry M.

Shoemaker. Harry W. Von Wilier, Erie president, said there would probably be merger applications from other financially hard-pressed railroads if the Interstate Commerce Commission approves creation of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad. He mentioned the Lehigh Valley and Wabash as one possible consolidation. Shoemaker listed the New York, New Haven Hartford and the Boston Maine as other Eastern lines now feeling a financial pinch.

The Lehigh Valley and Wabash are controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad and both are opposing the merger of the Erie and Lackawanna at ICC hearings now under way. Oddly, however, James M. Symes, president of the Pennsylvania, testified in behalf of merger. Also opposed to the plan is the Nickel Plate Railroad which Icalled its first witnesses today. As the New Jersey Citizens for Tax Relief pressed a campaign, through a Catholic dioceses newspaper, against the referen dum on the November 3 ballot, support for the public question came from Ramsey, Princeton and New Brunswick.

Robert F. Goheen, president of Princeton University, flatly disagreed that supporting state colleges would harm private schools. I dont believe it will for a moment, Goheen said last night. There are some people who feel support for public colleges works against private colleges. These two systems are complementary.

They are not engaged in a death struggle with each other. He said there was the necessity to build strong public institutions along with strong private institutions. The American people are rich, enough to afford both. The people of New Jersey certainly are," Goheen said. In Ramsey, Mason W.

Gross, president of Rutgers, the state university, warned last night that unless the college building bond issue referendum is passed between 11,000 and 12,000 qualified New Jersey students will find no room for them in college by 1965. He said that if the state edu-Princeton, Page 2 Young Singer Admits Thefts Rusty Lane, 20-year-old rock roll singer who has admitted burglarizing 40 guburban Essex County homes during a three-month period, yesterday told Clifton police that he had broken Into four Clifton homes during the past two weeks.

Marrocco, 81 Woodlawn Avenue, on October 10, but did not take anything.

Police recovered the radio receivers and the pistol. The fourth burglary committed by Zeeb was in the home of Andrew Svec, 30 Young Singer, Page 2 Mother Kills Two Daughters and Self MERRICK, L. I. MV-A 34-year-old housewife left her two small daughters in a home freezer to die yesterday and then hanged herself in her home.

Police said Mrs. Joan Anton placed the pajama-clad children, Barbara, five, and Joan, nine months, inside the unused freezer in the basement just after her husband, Alfred, a painter, left for work. Some time later, Mrs. Anton hanged herself from a beam in the attic. When Anton returned home, he said he found the house too quiet and began a search that turned up the bodies.

Firemen made resuscitation efforts on the baby and little girl without success. They had suffocated. Police said Mrs. Anton had a history of mental disturbance and had become increasingly despondent recently after several operations on her back. Quickie Quotes In Today News He's one of the family.

Buzzell, 37, husband of singer Lu Ann Simms, died early today in his Manhattan apartment of a heart attack.

Buzzell, a music publisher, married Miss Simms in July, 1954, when she was at the peak of her popularity on the Arthur Godfrey television show. He also was her manager. H- and C. A. Major, Lehigh Valley president, are other scheduled opposition witnesses.

The New York Central Railroad, although not opposed to the merger, has intervened in the case. Hail New Nod In separate interviews. Von Wilier and Shoemaker hailed last weeks approval by the ICC of the merger of the Norfolk St Western and Virginian Railroads. This shows the commissions thinking, Von Wilier said. Shoemaker praised the comparative speed of the ICC action.

Approval came four months after the close of public hearings. Von Wilier and Shoemaker said they expected final approval of their merger in the spring. Von Wilier estimated May or June but Shoemaker was more optimistic. He guessed March. -Neither expect opponents to take the case into court.

Von Wilier said the case presents a problem different from the Norfolk Western and Virginian, where both railroads were profitable. Neither the Erie nor the Lackawanna showed a profit last year and the picture thus far during 1959 Is gloomy. 1 Steel Strike Hurts We started the year pretty good, Von Wilier said of the Erie, but the steel strike has set us back. We are losing between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 a month because of the strike. Shoemaker said the Lackawannas deficit during 1958 was $3,934,000 and for the first eight months of this year the' loss was $2,904,949.

The Erie lists its 1958 loss at $3,668,879 and its deficit for the first eight months of 1959 as $3,622,000. Both railroads say the merger will mean a saving of $13,500,000 annually after the first five years. 1 Asked about a plan by Senator George A. Shiathers (D-Fla) for consolidation of railroads on a regional basis. Shoemaker said it would probably be too difficult to reconcile the complicated corporate structures.

Theyre better off row with their father, Mrs. Urdanivia added. They wont have to live in a pig sty or eat inferior food. Im tired, tired of begging. No one helps a widow.

In a statement to Lehigh County District Attorney Paul A. Mc-Ginley, the slender, light brownhaired widow said that she had been planning to kill the children and herself ever since her husband, Jose, 41, died of a heart attack two years' ago in San Francisco while en route to a diplomatic mission in Tokyo. I just couldnt snake ends meet, Mrs. Urdanivia told Mc-Ginley, in unfolding the bizarre tale which finally reached its climax last Wednesday. On that morning, Mrs.

Urdanivia related, she went to the home of her brother, William Sttawbridge, and picked up two of her children, Luis, nine, and Carol Miriam, four. They had been staying with their uncle and aunt since Christmas. Mrs. Urdanivia told her brother and his wife that she wanted to take the children for a physical checkup. She had been living in Allentown since the death of her husband.

That, night, about 8:30, Mrs. Urdanivia continued, she took 100 sleeping tablets and mixed them with sugar and water. She told Luis, Miriam and the other children, Christine, 12, Ruth Lu cille, 10, and Anna Marie, seven, to take them for their coughs. The children complained that it was bitter. Mrs.

Urdanivia then added orange juice.
