August 2p, 1959 Find Edition Number 258 Both Sides Of Steel Strike Insist Stands Bolstered By Report WASHINGTON (AP) Both tildes In the steel strike claimed today that government figures were on their side but there was no apparent rush toward the tensive bargaining'that Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said could lead to an early settlement. Mitchell, in releasing Knowing that steel wages prices have been going up for years and were ahead of other Industries generally, raised a big "if" on settling the dispute. "If they bargain intensively they could reach an early settlement," he said.

He said the negotiators had not been doing that up to now. Half a million steelworkers have now been on strike for 37 days. The APL-CIO said the strike was forced on them by management. Mitchell, in his report, said it "may serve to Indicate the area which exists for a settlement in which the public's interest is taken fully into account." But Mitchell declined to make any recommendations on where there should be some backing down in the deadlocked negothv which side should do the retreating. "There are no conclusions drawn (from the report)," he said.

"The responsibility for a settlement of the strike rests upon management and labor." However, he made it clear that the pilbllc has an interest in the dispute which each week is costing 300.million dollars worth of production and 70 million dollars in wages. Mitchell told several hundred newsmen at a news conference that the effect of the strike so far has not been serious from a na tional standpoint. But a national emergency might result if the strike is not settled by the latter part of September or early October, he said in reply to a question. -t Management and union spokesmen lost no time in commenting on Mitchell's report. R.

Conrad Cooper, chief negotiator for the steel industry, said the report shows steel wages have put steelworkers "at the top of the list." increases in employ- inent costs have exceeded increas es in output per, man hour, Cooper said, thereby forcing up steel prices. He said the increase of outpr.i per man hour in steel was lower than in the national economy as a whole. Cooper said the report "showi also that steel profits as a return on investment have consistently lagged behind those in other before taking account of the necessity for making up large deficiencies in depreciation allowances."

McDonald, United (Continued on Page Two) REPORT House Debates Seaway Use In Food Shipments WASHINGTON (AP) A modern-day "war between the states" shaped up in the House today over a bill to continue the program of disposing of United States surplus food abroad. It centered around a proposal which in effect would restrict the use of St.

Lawrence Seaway ports for the food shipments. Offered by Rep, Eugene J. Keogh (D-NY), the proposal was promptly labeled as "a new war between the states" by mid- westerners headed by Rep, Sidney R. Yates (D-H1). The effect of the amendment would be to nullify administration plans to station cargo inspectors in Montreal, where smaller ships operating from mldwestern ports An the seaway now unload for Jkans-shipment abroad.

Present law requires that al shipments under the surplus food disposal program be inspected in U.S. ports. The added inspections in Canada would assure that the Original shipments were not mixed fith poorer grains in the transfer Keogh's amendment would require that grains and other foods be sent abroad in the ships into which they originally are loaded Until the seaway was opened recently, linking Montreal with mid- western ports, grain shipments were made directly to Gulf Coas and seaboard ports by rail or truck, Traffic Deaths THIS YEAR TQ PATi U5T YEAR TQ PATf 145 SAN ANTONIO, (AP) Chief Deputy Sheriff George Hunt- ess concedes that the city tax col- ectors are but he wonders how efficient they are.

(AP Wirephoto) Khrushchev's Visit To End In Meeting With Eisenhower By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON (AP)-Nikita S.

may stop in Wash- ngton twice during his visit to the United States, giving him extra pportunity for private talks with resident Eisenhower. The Soviet Premier is slated to arrive in Washington 15 for he start of a 12-day tour of the ountry. When he returns from tis coast-to-coast travels, Eisen- lower may take him to' secluded Camp David in Maryland's Ca- octin Mountains for a final chat. This would afford Eisenhower a chance to speak to Khrushchev ersonally after the Soviet. leader ees the United States first-hand.

major aim in inviting Khrush- hev-here has been to dispel what been called' his ions about the freedom and trength of America. An original estimate that Khrushchev would spend two to hree days in Washington has now been lengthened to three or four days. The two men's talks on East-West issues would pick up pace only after initial ceremonial functions due a visiting government head are out of the vay. Exact details on where Khrushchev will go and when are still being worked out' In U.S.-Soviel negotiations. But due to Soviet restrictions, he will get only a United and hurried view of the country.

The Soviets have set the time imit of 12 days on Khrushchev's visit. They have turned down U.S. sightseeing suggestions while sticking to their' own, and the basic decision is up to them. As a result, Khrushchev now seems likely to cross the country airplane, with only limited auto ravel, taking in New York, Los Angeles, San Iowa armland and perhaps Pittsburgh le probably will not sightsee by Ight plane or detour to Texas and Florida or the Tennessee Valley The arrangements are being made on the basis of reciprocity be accorded Eisenhower when he pays his return visit to th Soviet Union this fall. No date has been set for the President's trip So many newsmen have appliec cover Khrushchev's tour tha not all may be allowed to go in the official press This i on grounds that Khrushchev can' get to see the country if he i constantly surrounded by crowd of reporters and photographers.

It is likely that only one pres plane will accompany the Khrush chev entourage. The Soviets ar to veto any proposa more than one press plan ollow Eisenhower through th Soviet Union.

Strike Of Meat Unions Threatened By NORMAN WALKER FOREST PARK, Pa. walkout of nearly 200,000 workers in the giant meat processing industry next month was threatened today on issues similar to those involved in the continuing steel strike. officials said the industry's two major unions, the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and the Packinghouse Workers, have, met much the same management wage freeze and other proposals for stockyard workers as were experienced in the steel dispute. AFL-CIO leaders, meeting in summer session here, expressed concern that the steel strike is a symptom of what they consider a growing management refusal to give workers a share in expanding industry profits.

The International Union of Electrical Workers, voting a $100,000 donation to the steel strikers, said big business generally has decide to "wreck the hard-won gains workers" and reverse the system of sharing profits with labor. The two meat industry unions after nearly a month of bargain ing, have met an almost soli front of packer proposals to freez present wage rates, averagin about $2.50 an hour.

That's the account of a California dentist and his friends who survived The Madison Canyon earthquake and avalanche below Hebgen Dam Monday night.

Dr. Reed Quesnell of Arcadia, gave the account when questioned concerning a theory that water spilling over the dam raced through the canyon and swept some campers away before the mountain collapsed. "Not so," said Dr. Quesnell, "First came the earthquake. Then the mountain collapsed into the canyon.

And after that came a wave of water. This wave is what hit and injured a number of those hurt; in the disaster." Dr. Quesnell, his wife, and two friends and their families Sam Kuening of Lakewood, and Ike Kuening of La Puente, Calif they believed an unknown number of campers in the area were buried by the big slide. "We have vacationed there every summer for 10 years," Dr. Quesnell said.

"And every year there have been the same two trailers in the same place. They were there again this year, so clos to the river they could fish from their doors. And those two trailers did not come out of the canyon when we were evacuatec Wednesday. There undoubtedly are many others buried with them."

Several persons were reported missing. It was feared some had fallen or jumped into Kandy.Lake nearby. The elephant was one of more than 100 participating with dancers and drummers in an annual Buddhist pageant called Perahera. The animal became infuriated when it stepped on burning coals which had dropped from a flaming torch. It wheeled about and charged, and the crowd ran screaming in panic, seeking shelter in nearby buildings, atop walls and in trees.

Two mahouts clung to the elephant's tail and trunk. They final ly stopped it and chained it to a lamppost. But the noise of the surging crowd set the beast ofl again and it broke loose, smashing shop fronts and trampling obstacles in its path. Police finally shot and killed the animal on the street. The Perahera pageant centerec on the Temple of the Holy Tooth one of Buddhism's most sacred spots, The temple houses a tooth supposed to have: come from the jaw of Buddha, who founded the religion 25 centuries ago.

(AP) The long-standing feud between the Army and its enlisted scientists threatened to break into the open again today. Some 400 young enlisted scientific 'and professional personnel a the Army chemical center here were ordered to fall out at 1 p.m civilian clothes. The lineup was called to help civilian witnesses identify some the 60 or so men who celebrated at a beer party here last Thurs day night.

Military authorities said they received complaints, that obscene songs and statements uncomplimentary about the Army emanated from the festivities. Just 11 months ago a similar party resulted in the court-martial of 11 men, mostly college graduates with degrees in engineering, mathematics, or the natural sciences. Although the charges were drunk and disorderly conduct, the basic issue at the court-martial was the young scientists' rebellion against age-old military discipline. Through their civilian lawyer and in press interviews, they complained they received little recognition for their work in Army laboratories and are taken out of labs for KP duty and routine military training. Like the earlier party, last Thursday's was held on Chilian property near the post.
