YITF NC.FR MANITOWOC, Wis. (PG) -The Edward L. Ryerson iron ore carrier slid down the ways here Thursday and rninrhed into the ire of the Manitowoc River. When it hit Ihe wnter the 730-foot vessel didn't send up as big a splash as some smaller vessels have when they were launched, but that's about the only thing that can be described as small in connection with the new queen of Great Lakes carriers. Built at a cost of more than $8 million, the 9.000 ton Ryerson was christened in the traditional fashion at the Manitowoc Shipbuilding, while a crowd estimated at 5,000 adults and school children watched from every vantage point within several thousand feet of the launching point.

They shivered In 10 above temperatures but cheered when the hull slid into the wa ter at 11:58 a.m. This was two minutes ahead of schedule Named After Steelman The vessel, named after the retired chairman of the board of Inland Steel sets a num ber of first for Great Lakes carriers: It's the most costly ever con structed: it will carry more tonnage (27,000 gross tons) when connecting channels be tween the head of the Lakes at Duluth and Inland's plant near Chicago are deepened: it is the first lakes ship to have air-conditioned quarters for a crew; it beats by two feet the perpendicular length of the previous longest vessel and its 730 feet is the maximum permitted under present navigation regulations on the lake. In addition, it set a construction speed record for the Manitowoc firm and made the biggest drop to the water from the construction site, 514 feet compared to 44, the previous mark. The launching came just a year after work was started. The boat is expected to be in use this June, a little more than a year af.er April be Mayor Roman Denissen, honorary chairman; George County Board Arena commit tee and the Board's steering and advice committee to ex amine management policy and jurisdiction at the Veterans Memorial Arena was scheduled today for 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan.

Jahn told the Board Tuesdiy he planned to resign as committee chairman. The Board's steering and ad vice committee is composed of chairmen of all regular Board committees. In asking for the steering and advice committee meeting.

Braley said he wanted clear decision on five points. He said these were: Elimination of duplicated and triplicated details which hamper administration; the relationship of the manager with the Board committee: study of a more desirable method of supervision of Arena affairs; an understanding of what the financial goal of the Arena is; and either confirming present Arena policy or coming up with a new policy. More Funds Okayed The Board Tuesday had to appropriate $36,595 to cover a 1959 Arena budget deficit. The Arena committee also is scheduled to meet at the Arena "10 a.m. Jan.

30 to open bids on a dehumidifying system. The deadline for bids is 9:30 a.m. The dehumidifying system will be financed from $46,500 provided for the Arena in a $245,000 multi-purpose bond issue approved by the Board in December. er.

Although it is considerably lonper than two football fields the Rverson when fnllv loaded will be nbl to travel almost 1' miles an hour. In a normal season, it will carry more than one milTon tons of iron ore be tween Duluth and Us home oorf of Indiana Harboi. Ind To Inland, this means an increase of 3fl per cent in the ter- trip caDacitv of its six-boat fleet. The Rverson will be the fleet flagship. Four Cargo Holds The ship is divided Into four cargo holds whose interiors have straight rather than slanting as in older vessels.

The straight sides will speed un loading and minimize damage from unloiding buckets. The 18 hatches are each 20 feet wide, almost twice as wide as hatches of older vessels, Shortly after the vessel was launched, the Ryerson was warped against the Manitowoc Shipbuilding dock. Work be gan immediately on the super structure, fittings and power equipment. Steam turbine engines generating 9.000 horse power will turn the five-bladed stainless steel 20-foot propeller which also is the largest of any Great Lakes vessel.

Gaylord Nelson today vetoed a bill to exempt natural cheese from the property tax ana said his veto would recov er tax revenues of $64,220 for the Town of Preble. The exemption would have applied to cheese owned by the primary manufacturer or by any person when it was in its original form and was being aged, packaged or processed. Nelson said in Madison, the bill would have a drastic ef feet on certain communities, in eluding Preble.

However, Preble Town Chairman Ervin Berken today said the gover nor's action would need fur ther clarification. Berken pointed out the state had already notified Preble that it could tax cheese in stor age for 1959 retroactive to May However, the state also pointed out that the cheese taken off the tax rolls for 1958 would continue to be nontax able. Berken said if the governor's action related to a bill affecting cheese in storage for 1958 it would mean a considerable increase in tax revenues for that year. Nelson also said a committee on tax revision is considering the question of property tax relief and "it may be wise to wait for a more careful evaluation of the long-range effects of specific exemptions."
