Each of the industry's top 12 producers as well as a num ber of smaller firms jumped on the selective price increase bandwagon announcing hikes averaging around $5 a ton on the items most in demand the types of steel used to make everything from automobiles to household appliances. Kaiser Steel the na tion's ninth ranked producer which two years ago broke with other major companies in labor contract negotiating, was the last of the top 12 producers to announce higher prices. Makes No Comment President Kennedy, who ten tatively approved the "select ed price boost pattern while warning against any across-the board hike, made no comment as he left his Palm Beach, vacation headquarters and returned to Wash- ington. Kennedy received a report from his economic advisers shortly after he returned to Washington. The report an alyzed the economic impact of the current series of "se lective" steel price hikes.

Walter Heller, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, gave Kennedy both an oral and written report. The report dealt with a study of what percentage of steel output was affected by the hikes. Big- Three In Line Second ranked Bethlehem Steel joined giant U.S. Steel and third ranked Republic earher Wednesday to bring the industry "big three" into line. Other major firms to boost prices Wednesday were fifth ranked National, seventh ranked Youngstown Sheet and Tube, and Colorado Fuel and Iron the nation's 10th ranked producer.

Kaiser made its announce ment from its Oakland, headquarters. It said it was increasing prices by $4 a ton on hot rolled sheet strip and $5 a ton on cold rolled sheet strip products making up about 19 per cent of companyl production. I Last October, Kaiser madel an across the board reduction averaging $12 a ton to substantially remove the his toric difference in Wst Coast prices.

Wl The Ore gon legislature again Wednesday killed a proposal to install a sales tax in Oregon. The state house of representatives voted down the measure 31-29. he consider withholding fed' eral funds from segregation ist Mississippi. The commission suggested that Kennedy explore his au thority to deny the state about $650 million it receives an nually from the federal government. This handed him an escape hatch; he could decide he lacked such authority.

There was a suggestion too from the commission that Kennedy study whether legislation is needed to prevent federal funds being paid out to a state which "continues to refuse to abide by the Constitution." Many Implications The political implications of acting or nut acting uii commission proposal could have a direct bearing on the outcome of Kennedy's expected bid for re election in 1964. Here is the way many poll ticians viewed the matter. Kennedy's stock with Ne gro minorities which influence the political decisions of the electorial vote heavy indus trial states would slump if he took no action to sustain the rights of citizens the commission said had been "shot, set upon by vicous dogs, beaten and otherwise terrorized be cause they sought to vote. If the President cut off Mississippi funds, he would risk losing support among white voters in the South. The 81 electoral votes he got from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas gave him his winning margin In 1960.

No Action Seen Kennedy could expect no action on the commission's recommendation that Congress "consider seriously" legislation to cut off Mississippi funds. The feeling in Congress is that if the federal government could halt payments for highways, flood control, military contracts and civilian payrolls in Mississippi in a controversy which did not involve these programs, it could act similarly in other states for the same or other reasons. Sen. Samuel J. Ervin D- N.C., commented that the commission ''ignores the system of constitutional government we have in the United States." Chairman James O.

East land. of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called the report "the most monstrous libel that has ever been levari aeainst a state in this, union." He called on the commission to direct its attention to the District of Columbia. Eastland and Sen. A. Willis Robertson, challenged the constitutionality of any at tempt by the President to act on his own to cut off funds for Mississippi.

Robertson said "Our form of federal union is gone" if the President could take such action. Missing Katanga Funds Recovered WASHINGTON (UPI) A large portion of the funds tak en from the National tsaruc 01 Katanga in the final days of President Moise Tshombe's secession have been recovered and returned. Authoritative sources placed the value of the recovered money at between $4 and $10 million, depending on which of a number of official and unofficial rates of exchange are used. They said 500 million Congolese francs had been deposited earlier this year in a bank or banks in Southern Rhodesia. But they said it was last week before arrange ments were completed to return the money to the Katanga bank in Elizabethville.

There were reports that an additional amount of Ka tanga francs had either been recovered or accounted for. Recognized by U.S. WASHINGTON un The United States extended recognition Wednesday to Guatemala's new military government, which seized power three weeks ago with a pledge to wipe out communism in the Central American ago with 129 men aboard. While a half dozen other Naval vessels concentrated on criss crossing a 10 square mile area surrounding the dive point, this destroyer ex tended the search field another 20 miles. The highly sensitive equip ment aboard was operated by a civilian technician from the Naval Ordnance Laboratory.

He was flown from Andrews Air Force Base at Washing ton, D. to join The Sulli vans at Newport, R. I. Capt. F.

A. Andrews, commander of the submarine de velopment group and head of the search, said in his daily report from the destroyer Warrington only that the search was continuing. The Thresher's last mes sage "test dive" was radioed 275 miles east of Boston in waters 8400 feet deep. A week- long search for the hull of the submarine has proved fruitless. The fact that The Sullivans, steaming at 13 knots, began operating 30 miles from the dive point indicated that the Navy has not ruled out the possibility that the lost hull could he outside the 10- square-mile area.

En route from San Diego by way of the Panama Canal is the bathyscaph Trieste, which the Navy plans to use to in vestigate the sunken hull, It is being transported lashed to the decks of the landing ship JPoint Defiance. The deep-diving device is expected to arrive soon but will be of little use until the hull is located.

Additional Weather Page IS new iroop uasn Again Puts Laos Into Cold War VIENTIANE UP) Laos was plunged into the cold war again Wednesday as out numbered neutralist troops fell back before pro-Commu nist forces bottling them up in the Laotian highlands Peking Radio accused the United States of resorting to terrorism and bribery in prelude in intervention Laos. The Chinese Commu nists had the support of Mos-i cow, which chimed in with charges the United States is seeking to bridge the neutra lists and turn the Southeast Asia kingdom "into another Congo." 1 The British labeled the Communists the No. 1 trouble maker in Laos.

A foreign of fice statement said the Chinese Reds were using anti-U. S. charges as a smokescreen for intervention by Communist North Viet Nam. The British accused the Pathet Lao of blocking inves tigations by the three- man International Control Cora- mission into the fighting threatening to plunge Laos into a new civil war. The Pathet Lao has rejected a western proposal to put permanent teams in the trouble zone.

The commission was given special powers by the 196 Geneva conference to carry out the guarantee of neutral ity for Laos and its isolation from the cold war. But the angry words from various capitals indicated a lack of success. The neutralist forces of Gen. Kong Le were reported to have fallen back almost entirely to the strategic Plaine des Jarres in the east central highlands. About 5000 neutralist sol diers were encircled there by larger pro-Communist Pathet Lao and dissident neutralist forces in the hills surrounding the six-mile-long plateau, 115 miles northeast of Vientiane.

Kidney Transplant For Hew Mexico Man 'Goes Well' DENVER Surgeons re ported everything went well Wednesday in the transplant of a kidney to a 23-year-old New Mexico man from his younger brother. Jerry Will Ruth, a Loving-ton, N. oilfield worker, received the healthy kidney from Billy Ruth, 21. Ruth's kidneys were de stroyed by a disease, glomerulo-onephritis.

Five of the seven recipi ents in the earlier transplants are alive. The other two died within the past two weeks. All donors have survived. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, (BLFE), headed by BLFE President H. E.

Gilbert. At a news briefing after the session, Kosenman saia mu conferees were 'feeling our way through the vast array of documents and discussions that preceded appointment of the fact-finding board to try to mediate the dispute, The board slated separate meetings on a "we'll call vou when we want you basis through Friday with represen tatives of the railroads, the firemen's union and four other brotherhoods of on-train employes. Rosenman said the board would call the two sides into joint meetings again "only when we feel it would pro duce useful results." Operating Premise Feinsinger interjected that the board was operating on the premise "that nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon." He said there was general agreement among the parties that the on ly way for the board to start was with a series of explora tory talks. The fact-finders said no news would be forthcoming until the next briefing session at noon today. The board sessions trans ferred here from Washington after an Easter recess.

The BLFE Is confronted with the loss of at least 000 jobs under the rialroads' proposed "anti featherbed- ding" rules changes designed to eliminate unnecessary jobs Carriers' Plan Under the carriers' plan, at least 13,000 firemen with less than 10 years seniority would be dismissed within one year from service on diesel engines in freight and yard work. An other 27,000 firemen jobs would be eliminated through natural attrition. The firemen's job has been one of the hottest issues in the dispute, which began in 1959, and the BLFE has attempted in the past to soften the blow Earlier, Feinsinger met with officials of the National Railway Labor Conference, the chief bargaining unit for 195 railroads in the nation. James E. Wolfe, conference chairman and chief bargainer of the carriers, headed the railroad officials.
