PAGE SIX INDIANA EVENING GAZETTE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1965. Substantial Wage Boost 'Demanded' (Continued from Page One) bers In the basic steel industry has offered a wage hike of abou 10 cents an hour. "Entirely inadequate," is the an of the union headed by Davi J. McDonald. Among other things, McDonald says, the steel' industry is booming and can well afford a "substantial" hike for his men who now average $2.33 an hour.

Despite unanimous backing yesterday from the union's 170-man wage policy committee to strike, McDonald said at a news conference later that he's still optimistic. "There is still time for a peaceful wage settlement." McDonald declared. John A. Stephens, U.S. Steel vice president and chief negotiator, declared that too, is hopeful of avoiding a strike.

But Stephens declared the concern "still believes its wage offer of last Thursday is 'substantial' and will prove the basis of settlement. Meanwhile, in Washington some -vernment officials expressed concern over the situation. One unnamed official declared: "We are pessimistic about a being prevented." Some companies began talking With union officials about an orderly shutdown. Closing a steel mill Is a costly procedure which must be carried out with good timing to avoid damage to machinery. Usually the industry likes to start banking its furnaces 72 hours ahead of a known walkout, but they can rush through the process in 48 hours or less.

In a rather surprising development, McDonald Indicated that in the event of a strike the union might shut down some of the larger companies but leave others In operation. But he refused to speculate on possibly extension of the strike deadline, other than to WHOA, In a re-enactment of a possible 1905 scene is Margot Evans, of British Columbia.

"It is possible that the union would make the services of its members available to some companies and not others, even though agreement is reached with none." McDonald didn't comment on the speculation. He said merely that the union still insists on a "substantial" boost.

In newspaper advertisements signed by the union chief today, the union claims the U. S. Steel offer of about a 10-cent-an-hour average increase would apply to just slightly over 50 per cent of the 600,000 men involved. The offer provided for a across-the- board increase, plus one-half-cent increments between job classifications. Last night Stephens declared his company's offer, which has been matched by Inland Steel "would lift the average straight- time hourly earnings of steel workers to a level more than 10 cents an hour higher than that which now prevails in the automotive industry." MacDonald has said the steel offer is about half the cost of settlements at Ford and General Motors.

The auto contracts included a 20-cent-an-hour package deal providing layoff compensation plus a 6-cent raise for hourly workers and an additional 8 cents for skilled workers. In the newspaper advertisement, McDonald claims that steel industry profits thus far this year are 60 per cent higher than in the same period of 1954 and U. S. Steel dividends "have increased by 33 1-3 per cent this year." The union claims the proposed wage increase would amount to per cent and declares it is entitled "to a share of this growing prosperity." thus bringing this litigation to a conclusion." Lattimore's attorney, Thurman Arnold, said he had no comment when informed by a reporter of Brownell's statement. The original seven-count perjury Indictment against Lattimore was returned in December, 1952, under the previous Democratic administration.

After the two key counts of the original indictment had been thrown out by the local courts, the Eisenhower administration soughi a new indictment. Brownell said this was "in order to make out the strongest possible case for the further consideration of the court." This new indictment was also rejected by the courts as too vague. Lattimore's Old Perjury Case Dropped (Continued from Page One) and obscure," and too vague for the 54-year-old Lattimore to defend, Youngdahl threw them out, and his judgment on this was twice upheld by the Court of Appeals lor the District of Columbia. The Appeals Court's second ruling was made June 14 on a 4-4 vote. The tie let the Youngdahl finding stand.

This confronted the government with the choice of appealing to the Supreme Court or going ahead with an attempted prosecution of Lattimore on five other counts 'which Lattimore's attorneys had described as "trivia." The further possibility open to the government was to drop the whole prosecution. This is what it elected to do. Brownell said in a statement: "Upon a consideration of all aspects of the case, it has been decided not to apply to the Supreme Court for review on certiorari on the two counts that were recently invalidated. In the absence of these counts, there is no reasonable likelihood of a successful prosecution on the live counts remaining from the first indictment. "Therefore, the United States attorney for this district intends to take the necessary steps to bring about a dismissal, oi these counts, Foreign Aid Spending Hike Before House (Continued from Page One) rence Smith of Wisconsin.

They contended the aid program should be critically reappraised before new funds are authorized, and contended it is so broad as to be no more than a "blank check." Other members have said they planned to seek cuts applying specifically to India and to Yugoslavia. Yesterday's announcement from Belgrade that Marshal Tito has accepted an invitation to visit Moscow is expected to give added ammunition to those who contend he is becoming too friendly with the Russians, with whom he split in 1948. Another section under criticism ivould give the President a special 200-million-dollar fund for use in Asia without a requirement for immediate accounting. 14 Rebels Said Killed PARIS rebels were reported killed today in a clash with Foreign Legion troops in eastern Algeria. Dispatches to Paris said the fighting continued.

The skirmish took place near Lambese, on the northern edge of the Aures Mountains. It was in these mountains that an armed rebellion against the French broke out last Nov. 1. Since then action has extended northward to the Mediterranean at Philippeville, Official reports said that so far in today's fighting the Legion had suffered no losses. To the north in the Constantine region, rebels yesterday killed a goumier, an Algerian rifleman in the French security forces, as he neared an administrative office.

More crops were set afire. Nineteen persons caught outdoors after the curfew in Constantine were sentenced to a month in jail and fined 10,000 francs Cherry Tree Gl In Korea CHERRY TREE Ernest E.

'Undecided' On Demands For Damage (Continued from Page One) armed forces." The secretary said that while he deplores the incident, he nevertheless hopes the Geneva "summit" conference next month "can begin on the assumption that all four of the participants genuinely desire a secure peace." In comment on other plane incidents, Dulles said he had no information to support Chinese Nationalist air force claims that Russian pilots manned fighters which attacked a Nationalist jet trainer and a small transport chartered by the U.

S. Army offshore islands qf Matsu. Dulles expressed doubt the cident gave the United States a basis for a protest. Dulles had flown to Bangor, Maine, earlier so that he could talk over international developments which occurred during Eisenhower's six-day trip through New England. On their arrival late last night at National Airport, Presidential Press Secretary James C.

Hagerty said the two men had discussed plans for next month's Big Four summit talks, and he added: "The President and the secretary also reviewed fully the shooting down by Soviet planes of the U.S. naval patrol craft while it was over international waters. "They discussed the Soviet memorandum of explanation and regret, to which a reply will be made shortly." Hagerty declined to shed any light on the nature of the reply. The incident occurred last Wednesday in the Bering Strait off Alaska. Seven of the 11 crewmen in the Navy plane suffered burns or injuries.

Russia, while contending the U.S. plane invaded Soviet territory, has conceded the chance of error and has offered to pay half the damages. Dulles said yesterday the Rus- One Dead, Three Hurt In two-Car Accident (Continued from Page One) on Route 219, one mile south of this Clearfield County community when the collision occurred. Grumbling told police he was rounding a cruve during a rain when his auto went into a skid and glided into the approaching Hazelett vehicle.

A complete obituary on Ellenberger appears on page six of today's Gazette. Germany Said Top Issue At "Big4" Meet WASHINGTON W)-Secretary of State Dulles said today Russian failure to discuss German unification at the Big Four summit conference would throw doubt on Soviet sincerity toward easing international tensions. Dulles said the division of Germany is a world problem which contains the seeds of greater evil.

Any realistic effort to promote peace must include work on German unification, he skid. Referring to remarks by Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov last week at San Francisco, Dulles said Russia appears to have lost nterest in getting Germany uni- ied. "Molotov had spoken of the ast-West division of Germany as ikely to continue a long time. Dulles said he deplored this at- itude. He added that if the Soviets really desire to advance the cause peace they will talk about Germany at the July 18 summit meeting in Geneva.

On other subjects Dulles told a news conference: 1. The shooting down of an American patrol bomber by Soviet ighters over the Bering Sea last week seems to have been a "trigger happy" incident not something which "represents a considered policy on the part of tHe Soviet Union." 2. Dulles told Molotov at San Francisco that Russia should pay the full cost of the loss of the plane and reparations for injuries to 7 of the 11 crewmen. But Dulles does not yet know what the total bill will be, nor how the claim will be pressed. 3.

The United States and Russia appear to be deadlocked over Russia's idea of holding a Far East conference, to include Red China as a participant, after the Geneva meeting, The United States feels Nationalist China should be present and Russia disagrees. 4. Dulles does not rule out the possibility of direct talks between the United States and China on some matters. 5. The United States would give very sympathetic consideration to a visit to the United States by Marshal Tito, president of Communist Yugoslavia, currently being wooed by Moscow after breaking with the Kremlin in 1948.

6. Dulles thinks it possible disarmament discussions at the summit conference may lead ultimate ly to reducing and balancing armaments between the Atlantic Allies and the Soviet bloc. 7. Dulles sees nothing to be gained by piling up nonaggression guarantees on top of each other. He thus discounted reports of U.S.

Interest in working out some European security system aimed solely at producing new promises not to attack. If geriuninely free elections could be arranged in Viet Nam, Dulles believes the Indochina country can be unified under a non-Communist government. But ic indicated neither the United States nor South Viet Nam would accept elections not considered to 3e free. 9. The State and Justice Departments have been consulting on whether to contest a court decision that a citizen has a right to a passport unless it is denied him by judicial processes.

While a renewal of a request for full reparations seemed likely, it did not appear that this country would be adamant in its position. Dulles has already voiced pleasure at Russia's expression of regret, and has made it clear he does not expect the incident to upset plans for the Big Four talks at Geneva. These plans also in his two-hour discussion with the President on the flight back from Maine. Hagerty said the secretary briefed the President on the Big Four preliminaries conducted at San Francisco last week by Dulles and the foreign ministers of Russia, Britain and France. There was insistence that no emergency was involved in Dulles' decision to fly to Maine.

The secretary said so. Hagerty said so and Eisenhower jokingly told an estimated crowd of 15,000 at Bangor's Dow Air Force Base that Dulles "has come up to insure thatj my vacation would end and give me a lecture on the way back." An earlier plan had been for Dulles to see Eisenhower at the White House on the President's return from plan which presumably would have kept them in conference into the early hours today. Hagerty said Dulles had agreed to a suggestion that he go to Bangor instead.

(Continued from Page One) Before the lawmakers leave Harrisburg tomorrow for a recess extending until July 11, the Senate is expected to pass the administration bill to change the yardstick for the sale of 60 million dollars in tax anticipation notes by the commonwealth. Under present law, the amount of these notes cannot total more than one-third of the appropriations approved the Legislature. Since full appropriations won't DC made until a tax program is passed, the -administration sought to change the formula to read one- third of the tax revenues received by the commonwealth. But the Senate unit cut the one- third figure back to one-tenth.

In effect, it reduced from 200 millions to 60 millions the amount of money which could be borrowed under tax anticipation notes. In another development, the house Democratic leadership ran into its chronic problem- of absenteeism once again. It resulted in losing by a single vote its proposal to increase from two years to four years the period of time a voter can stay away from the polls without having his name stricken from the registration records. The House passed a bill to give third class cities the right to adopt home rule charters. These charters could provide for a city manager type of government under the measure.

Meanwhile, Rep. Kent, Crawford County Republican chairman, disavowed the signature of his njhne to a letter asking Republicans to down all new taxes. The letter, purportedly signed by GOP chairmen or vice chairmen of 42 counties, was sent last week to Miles Horst, Republican state chairman. "I don't agree with the contents of the letter," Kent told a newsman. "I didn't sign it in the first place." The letter had requested Horst to adopt a policy that no new taxes be enacted this session.

House Democratic absenteeism drew a taunt from Republicans when Rep. Readinger, House Democratic floor leader, found himself without enough votes to pass 65 millions in stopgap appropriations. 1 he GOP, led by Rep. Johnson, assistant Republican floor leader, challenged the need for the grants in view of identical appropriations approved by the lawmakers just a month ago. Later, after making the point that the governor asked only 13 millions a month for departmental appropriations in contrast with Readinger's claim that 50 millions monthly was needed, the Republicans reproachingly offered to lend enough votes to pass the measures, Readinger, however, put off a final vote until today.

More than 600 million dollars in school appropriation bills, introduced only night, also will be discussed in connection with the stopgap grants. "These bills fit the governor's budget to the last digit," said Chairman Polen (D-Washington) of the House Appropriations Committee. Polen's Committee, after six weeks of hearings, decided to send the governor's budget to the floor for debate and possible action instead of making its own recom- i mendations.

"I think the percentage of Republicans who are going to talk about it in 1958 will be much smaller than before," he said. He added he doesn't believe it will be a prime issue.

Sen. Monroney (D-Okla), head of the Democratic speakers bureau in 1952, said he doubts the Communist issue will be entirely forgotten. Democrats compiamea bitterly in 1954 that Vice President Nixon implied their party was soft on communism. They characterized as a "numbers racket" the GOP administration's claims as to the numbers of federal employes who had been separated from the payroll on security grounds. Nixon would appoint four of the 12 members of the commission, which is to be split evenly between the livo parties.

Two of these appointees would be from the Senate and two would be civilians. President Eisenhower would name four civilians and Speaker of the House Rayburn of Texas would name two from the House and two from civilian life. The commission would elect its chairman. While in Maine, and earlier-in New Hampshire and Vermont, the President fished, played golf, talked with Republican leadters and made a series of informal talks. Late yesterday he attended a Maine clambake at the home of Sen.

Margaret Chase Smith (R- Maine) but ate the orders of his physician. At Skowhegan, Mrs. Smith's home, Eisenhower also spoke to a fairgrounds audience of about 10,000 persons, telling them America's goal is the winning of a "permanent peace and not merely an uneasy cessation of the guns." He said that kind of a peace can never be mm without sacrifice. Met at Skowhegan by Mrs. Smith and Maine's Gov, Edmund S.

Muskie, the state's first Democratic chief executive in 20 years, Eisenhower said his six-day tour had left him convinced Americans are united in basic hopes for the future. "We want peace in the world," he said. "We want prosperity at home, a prosperity that is widely shared, with everybody happy in his job. "We have come to realize these two asprations are related. We cannot have prosperity without peace.

And we can have no peace unless we are prosperous." The President traveled to Skowhegan by auto from a private fishing camp on an island in Par- manhenee Lake, in a remote part of west central Maine, where he spent the weekend. Asked when he left the island whether he had had a good time, Eisenhower replied: "Did I had a wonderful time!" Bernard M. Shanley, his appointment secretary, told newsmen: "This did him more good than anything he has done in long time."

The Public Utility Commission yesterday approved the immediate increase in commuter rates for the Pennsylvania, Reading and Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroads.

The PUC's decision to lift pension of the proposed boost, to yield an estimated $535,000 additional overall annual revenue for the three roads, was unanimous, The new fares will give the Reading Co. $280,000 added gross yearly; PRR. $238,000, and $17,500, PRR serves communities in all three areas; Reading Co, in Philadelphia suburbs, and in the Pittsburgh district, At the same time, the commis-C sion authorized the Baltimore Ohio Railroad to cancel commuter fares between Philadelphia and Chester because it provides no "suitable" commuter train servke between the points. The new rates in commuter fares will boost the base unrestricted monthly tickets by $2.50 for distances. over 15 miles.

Shorter trip raises will range generally from. $1.10 to $2.40. Other forms of commuter tickets monthly, weekly and cost proportionately lest than the unrestricted monthly tic. kets and will be increased accord. ingly.
