The source said Nasser will not accept the offer "at present," pending a careful study. The loan offer was reported made by Soviet Foreign Dmitri Shepilov during talks with Nasser over the weekend. Shepilov is here to attend Egypt's three-day celebration of British evacuation of the Canal Zone. Britain and the United States have offered to give Egypt 70 million dollars to get the big dam on the Nile started, and later to lend 80 to 130 millions as work progresses.

Cnrlton Mauthe of Fond du Lac, Ex-Labor Official Given Probation MILWAUKEE Henry J. Pineau-Dulles Talks to Review Algerian Crisis WASHINGTON Wt-Frcnch Foreign Minister Christian Pineau prepared to appeal today to Secretary of State Dulles for firm American support in France's costly battle to crush a bloody revolt in Algeria. The bitter North African fighting, which now is costing France as much as its ill-fated Indochina campaign, was scheduled to come up for review during a meeting at the Stale Department. The talk was the second of three set up to review far-ranging foreign policy problems.

Dulles and Pineau turned to the critical Algerian truggle after agreeing in their opening meeting yesterday that the West must take steps to encourage what was termed an "evolutionary process" in Russia since Stalin's death. While agreeing on this long- range objective, they apparently have failed to agree thus far on specific steps to dual with Russia's quick-changing policies. Dulles was reported to have shown a marked lack of enthusiasm for three of Pineau's suggested moves: U) further casing of East-West trade controls, (2) sizable American contributions to a proposed United Nations fund for aiding less developed areas, and big Western cultural exchanges with Russia. Dulles advised Pineau, informants said, that he was willing to Jet experts study the trade control problem, but with the understanding that Western nations should be extremely careful lest they build up Russia's war might: The secretary is understood to have stressed it would be "dangerous and reckless" to assume that tile seemingly more moderate trend in Russia is irreversible. Shorter Nurse's Training Suggested MADISON A special study commission suggests that the shortage of nurses be relieved by cutting the nurse's training course from three classroom years to two years plus one year of internship.

The recommendation was reported Monday by the Rev. E. J. Goebc) of Milwaukee, chairman of the Wisconsin Commission to Develop a State Wide Plan for Nursing Education. The 15-member commission was appointed by the State Board of Nursing in 1953.

"Upon completing the program, the student would receive a diploma of graduate nurse," Father Goebel said, "but she would have to complete a one-year internship before taking the registration examination." This would put the nurse in the hospital, actively caring for patients, after two years of classes, instead of three. The commission also recommended scholarships for high school graduates going into nurse's training, erection of a nurses' school building at the University of Wisconsin, doubling the nusing education capacity of Milwaukee's vocational school and consideration of starting new USW Begins Talks With II Firms; Strike Authorized NEW YORK The United Steclworkers Union followed up a strike authorization vole by starting negotiations today with 11 steel firms individually. The union on Sunday halted joint talks with the big U. S. Steel, Bethlehem and the ground they were getting "nowhere." Union teams were slated to negotiate today wilh Pillsburgh Sleel, Inland Steel and Youngstown Sheet Tube.

It was possible meetings with other companies would be called before the day was over. In any event, the union expected to have talks with all 11 firms by Wednesday. Rounding out the 11 are Jones Laughlin, Wheeling, Armco, Allegheny Ludlum and Great Lakes (a division of National Steel). The 11 companies produce about 77 per cent of the nation's steel. All were understood to be standing firm for five-year contracts as proposed by the "Big Three."

The finding left Maryland and Virginia police with virtually no clues in the deaths of Shelby Jean Venable, 16, of North Laurel, and Mary Elizabeth Fellers, 18, of Beltsville, Md. Shelby Jean's body was found last Thursday in Catoetin Creek, a Potomac River tributary near Wheatland, Va. This was about nine miles from the spot where Mary Elizabeth's body, also naked, was found five days earlier.

The area is about 50 miles northwest of Washington. Cause of Mary Elizabeth's death had not been determined. Both girls disappeared Jane 1. Erwin Fellers, Mary Elizabeth's 13-year-old brother, said he saw the two girls get into a blue car June 1. Erwin said the driver was a scar-faced young man who gave him a "dirty look" as he sped away.

The two girls had been close friends since their childhood in Greeneville, Tenn. The two families planned a double funeral for Thursday. Burial will be side by side in Ft. Lincoln Cemetery just outside Washington. Green Bay, Crosse.

a a and La present contracts expire. The union's 170-member wage policy committee authorized the strike call Monday and then headed for home. The committee warned that time is "growing short" for averting a walkout of 650,000 steel- workers in plants that turn out nine-tenths of the nation's steel. But the industry stood firm against a union demand for a one- year contract with wage increases and fringe benefits. The wage committee's statement came a day after the union broke off joint talks with the "Big S.

Steel, Bethlehem and favor of negotiating separately with each of them and eight other major steel firms. Meanwhile, David J. McDonald, silver haired president of the union, disputed the value the "Big Three" placed on their offer. The companies said the package proposal would amount to a 65-cent- an-hour increase in the fifth year, rising from 17 2-3 cents the first year. "That's pure and unadulterated bunk," McDonald told a news conference.

He said the union estimated the fifth year value at 28.2 cents. Joseph L. Block, president of Inland, defended the "Big Three" proposal. He said it was "fair, generous and in the national interest." The present wage average in the basic steel industry is $2.46 an hour. The union has asked a "substantial" pay increase, a 52-week layoff pay program, premium pay for Saturday and Sunday work, a company-paid insurance program and other benefits.

That predawn flash above the desert landscape on July 16, 1945, was the start of the end of World War II and the beginning of a new phase in history. In the following years, something bothered Father John Borley, an energetic young Franciscan priest and pastor of the Catholic church in Tularosa, a few miles from Trinity site. "Gcd has given man the ability to develop atomic energy," Father John said, "but in all the years since that moment there has never been a single religious service at this memorable spot asking his assistance in aiding mankind." The brown-cassocked Franciscan contacted officials at White Sands Proving Ground, which has jurisdiction over the first atomic bomb test site.

Today plans were announced for Catholic, Protestant and Jewish services to be held in the cool evening hours of July 15. The rites will be in conjunction with the President's peace plan. atoms-for- Tombstones Found in Waukesha Excavation WAUKESHA OFt Excavation work for a downtown parking lot Monday yielded two worn headstones, believed to be those of children of Winchell Bacon, a pioneer Wisconsin banker and lawmaker. The tombstones gave listed death dates of July 14, 1849 for Samuel D. Bacon and Sept.

9, 1854 for Winchell D. Bacon Jr. The elder Bacon was a Waukesha banker, a trustee of Carroll College and the State Hospital for the Insane, a member of the Wisconsin Assembly and an army paymaster appointed by President Abraham Lincoln. The grave markers were discovered by workmen who began excavating after tearing down several old residences. Britain Reported Readying New Offer to Cyprus LONDON OP) The British government is expected to make a new offer of local self-government to Cyprus late this week in a fresh effort to end the rebellion on the strife-torn Mediterranean island.

Informed sources said the Cypriots would be promised a vote on union with demand of the rebels fighting the British some future date to be agreed on. Ten years from now was mentioned as a likely waiting period. The informants said the British plan includes local election of a Cypriot government. This would give control to the Greek-speaking Cypriots, four fifths of the island's 500,000 population. The plan also reportedly guarantees the rights of the Turkish-speaking minority, numbering about 80,000.

Until the self-determination vote Britain would keep control of defense, foreign affairs and, at the outset, internal security.

Republicans on the Government Operations Committee issued a "blanket rejection" of the charges. They accused the committee's Democratic majority of "an amazing suppression of evidence." "Inconsistencies in the evidence," the report added, "warrant the conclusion that false testimony was given under oath." It recommended that the Justice Department determine whether it should start perjury prosecution. The charges and denials were contained in a split report on a subcommittee inquiry early this year into contracts awarded in connection with expansion of a big nickel producing plant at Nicaro, Cuba.

Turkish Cypriots and the government of Turkey insist the island must revert to Turkey if British rule ends. Britain first took over control of the island from the Turks in the 19th century, then annexed it at the start of World War I. It lies only 40 miles off Turkey's southern coast.

Prime Minister Eden and his ministers have declared Britain must keep Cyprus as a military base to insure supplies of Middle East oil to Western Europe. The self-government plan is said to be based on the assumption that the Turkish minority's rights will have been permanently safeguarded within 10 years, perhaps by an agreement between Britain, Greece and Turkey which also would guarantee British use of the Cyprus military installations. Violence continued on the island last night. Bombs were thrown at British personnel in three sections of the capital, Nicosia. There were no casualties.

Two young Greek Cypriots were sentenced to death in a Nicosia court yesterday for the murder of a British Royal Air Force corporal Catlin Request Denied; Time Extension Granted MADISON W) The Wisconsin Supreme Court denied today a request by Assembly Speaker Mark Catlin Jr. (R-Appletonl that charges of unethical conduct filed against him by the State Board of Bar Commissioners be made more specific.

The 2-year-old girl and 8-month- old boy evidently had been left alone when their mother was placed in a psychiatric ward eight days ago. A social worker on a routine check found the bodies. Police said the mother, Mrs. Anastasia Velez, 32, was arrested when she angrily kicked in a window after being thrown out of a tavern.

She was taken to Bellevue Hospital for observation and has been there since. Police said records showed "no known relatives and "address unknown" for the woman. Police said Mrs. Velez was separated from her husband, Jose, 39, in February. The husband, they added, was believed staying with his parents somewhere in New Jersey.

The couple came here from Puerto Rico eight years ago and had been on relief since August 1953. Athens Doctors Start Three-Day Strike ATHENS OR About 4,500 doctors in Athens and its suburbs began a three-day strike today. They protested what they said was "the government" failure to solve their problems and claims." The doctors demand higher salaries and equal treatment for doctors employed in government service, clinics and hospitals. The commissioners, on May 16, charged that Catlin had engaged in unethical conduct by accepting money from state prisoners and their families to use his personal and political influence in an effort to secure their freedom. After the July 9 court session at which Catlin will file his answer, the court will appoint a referee to conduct a hearing.

The referee will report to the court and it will decide what disciplinary action, if any, should be taken against Catlin. Chandler Fills Barkley Senate Seat FRANKFORT, Ky. UfV-Gov. A. B.

Chandler yesterday named Frankfort Atty. Joseph J. Leary to the U.S. Senate as a temporary replacement for the late Sen. Barkley.

The governor announced his choice on the eve of today's meeting of the Democratic State Central Executive Committee in Louisville. The committee will name its nominee to run in the November election for the four remaining year's of Berkley's term. Barkley died April 30. Leary, 49, a close adviser of the governor, was appointed to serve until November. He was cochairman of Chandler's campaign in last year's gubernatorial race.

Chandler said he wouldn't "hazard a guess" about how his appointment of Leary would fit in with today's committee action. The committee is dominated by a party faction friendly to Sen. Earle C. Clements, who won re- nomination in the May 29 primary over Joe B. Bates, who was files "which might well point toward further irregularities in the expansion program." The Justice Department has said it is holding on to its files while it conducts its own study of the matter.

The three Republicans on the eight-man subcommittee demanded further hearings before any such "sweeping conclusions" as those in the report could be drawn. They spoke of "scanty evidence" and said the majority's findings "have not been properly substantiated." The Democratic charges ranged from alleged loss of million dollars worth of nickel output because of delays to "political favoritism." They also contained an implication of perjured testimony concerning what was termed a "lush brokerage fee" for a Chicago insurance agency headed by Republican friends of Edmund F. Mansure, then head of the General Services Administration. That agency had charge of the nickel project. Former Chief Quit.

Mansure quit as GSA chief on Feb. 6, while the investigation was in progress. He said he wanted to leave because of "personal obligations," not because of the nickel investigation. The inquiry dealt with an expansion project begun in 1954 with a construction subcontract held jointly by the Frederick Snare Corp. and Merritt-Chapman Scott.

It provided for a half-million dollars in fees for each firm. Also involved was insurance brokerage on the project, two- thirds of which went to the Chicago firm of Balmer Moore. William J. Balmer and Edward F. Moore, partners in that firm, are Cook County GOP leaders and acknowledged friends of Mansure.

Minister's Family Has Narrow Escape BLUE EARTH, Minn. The Rev. L. A. Clinton of Wisconsin Rapids, and six members of his family escaped drowning late Monday when their car left a highway near here and plunged into a drainage ditch containing six to eight feet of water.

Jim Phipps, Faribault County deputy sheriff, said the group was heading for a vacation in the state of Washington when their car hit a rain-softened shoulder on Highway 16 and went into the ditch. The car submerged before any could extricate themselves but they forced doors open and surfaced without injury.
