I 11 Stevedores Herter Reports Views On Soviet Premier's Discussions with Mao Washington (JP) Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev apparently has run into trouble in his campaign to get Communist China to join in reducing East-West tensions.

Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, summing up his impression of Khrushchev's visit to Peiping following his Camp David talks, told newsmen: "I would say that I can see no visible easing of tensions as between Chinese Communists and ourselves." Herter also suggested the possibility of a split in the foreign policy of the Soviet and Red Chinese governments. He noted that Khrushchev had "talked quite eloquently" during his Chinese trip about solving international problems by peaceful means and that Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung "never made any statement at all."

From left are Avery Adams, board chairman of Jones Laughlin Steel Corporation; Talks Fail To Break Deadlock Pittsburgh (tP) Hope for an early negotiated settlement in the 85-day-old nationwide steel strike seemed dead today. Government use of the Taft-Hartley law appeared the only way to speed strikers back to their jobs. The union's 170-member Wage Policy Committee stood by for a morning meeting but there was nothing new to present to the committee. Top steel industry executives and heads of the United Steelworkers held a 90-minute summit meeting last night. It ended on a hopeless note.

Roger M. Blough, U. S. Steel Corp. board chairman and spokesman for the industry group, said the union is "unalterable in its position." USW President David J.

McDonald, who requested the summit conference, said industry is "not flexible." "They remain adamant," the union leader said. No Talks Set There were no negotiations scheduled for today the eve of President Eisenhower's implied deadline for using the Taft-Hartley Law, which could send workers back to the mills for an 80-day cooling-off period. The wage policy committee on Monday rejected the latest industry offer as completely unsatisfactory. The industry said its offer would give workers a 15-cent hourly package increase during the life of a two-year contract. The union said the offer would come closer to gains of 10 cents an hour in the two years.

Blough said the union's demands for wage and fringe benefit increases would cost the about 60 cents an hour over a three-year period. The union estimated its demands at 15 cents an hour for each year. Both Willing to Talk Both sides expressed a willingness to continue negotiations, but neither side made any known move to schedule another meeting. The top industry officials said they planned to remain in Pitts Reds Keep World In Dark on Moon ProbeDue to Turn Last Card on '21' Washington (IP) A congressional committee expects to finish today its sometimes hilarious revival of the television quiz show "Twenty-One."

Government officials said it might clear the way for a court back-to- work order by Friday. That would cut off the Inter national Longshoremen's Associ ation strike on the East and Gulf coasts by starting the 80-day cooang-off period provided by the Taft-Hartley labor law. In New York ILA protested the Taft-Hartley action, but a spokesman said "we always obey the government." Declaring the strike would "imperil the national health or safety," President Eisenhower invoked the Taft-Hartley national emergency provisions yesterday for the 16th time since the law's enactment in 1947.

He named a three-man factfinding team headed by Washington attorney Guy Farmer, former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. Sets Hearing Farmer quickly summoned the ILA and waterfront employers to a hearing here today. They were entitled to appear in person or send statements of their position. Farmer told newsmen he expected to complete the hearing today. That jibed with word from other officials that the administration has fixed a fast timetable for settlement of the stevedores' strike, which could cripple quickly the commerce of the Atlantic Coast.

Can Seek Injunction When the fact-finders' report is received by Eisenhower, he can instruct the attorney general immediately to seek an injunction in federal district court, in New York, Washington or elsewhere. This would oblige the strikers and employers to resume dock operations while their prin cipals go back to bargaining. The dock strike started only last Friday. James C. Hagerty, White House Press Secretary, said Eisenhower decided on swift action partly because of the dock strike's effect on food supplies.

Seek 50-Cent Raise The longshore union is ask ing a 50-cent hourly pay raise. Basic New York wages under the old contract were $2.80 an hour. The ship lines had offered a 30-cent hourly package increase. Ike Ending Coast Sojourn Palm Springs, Calif. () President Eisenhower, his vaca tion to shake a cold nearing an end, spends his last full day in the Southern California sunshine today.

Early tomorrow morning the President will head back to Wash ington by jet plane. He is sched uled to arrive in the capital in the late afternoon. Barring a sudden settlement of the 85-day-old steel strike, or definite evidence of progress toward a union management agreement, Eisenhower may in voke tfie Taft-Hartley Law in that dispute shortly after his return. In Los Angeles a group of striking steelworkers announced plans to drive to the President's vacation retreat today to protest what they term "threatened use of the slave-labor Taft-Hartley injunction" provisions for a back-to-work court order. Manuel Sierras, president of United Steelworkers Local 2058, said he would lead a motorcade of members and their families to Eisenhower's headquarters a nearby La Quinta, Calif.

Sierras said he had sent a tele gram to the President asking for an audience. The temporary White House had no comment. Reds' continued denunciation of the United States as "imperial ists" and "aggressive" seemed to indicate, Herter said, that Khru shchev and the Soviet govern ment "are taking a rather different line from that of the Communist Chinese." A Full Account Khrushchev went to Peiping after touring the United States. He is believed to have given the Chinese Reds a full account of his talks with President Eisen hower during which Eisenhower and he agreed that "all outstanding international questions" should be settled by peaceful negotiations. Herter, in his first news i con ference here since early July, said he thought the Khrushchev trip to the United States had resulted in some easing of tensions between the United States and Russia.

He said it also had given Eisenhower and Khrushchev a chance to know each other better and had provided Khrushchev with a better understanding of many aspects of American life. As to the long-range value of the visit, beyond these immediate results, Herter said "time will tell, but I would like to be opti mistic. Dispute Still Unsettled The Eisenhower -Khrushchev agreement on Berlin providing that future negotiations may run on indefinitely has had the effect of lifting the Soviet threat to try to force the Western Allies out of West Berlin, Herter said in response to a question. But there was no agreement, he add ed, on any new plan for settling the Berlin dispute. As to a Summit conference, Herter would say only that whether the new negotiations on Berlin will be conducted by heads of government or by foreign ministers, and when and where the next big East-West conference should be held are matters for consultation among the Allies.

Shortage Set At $26,569 Newark (JP) An auditor's report places the shortage in the Essex County Probation Department at $26,569, instead of the $4,000 estimated originally. Samuel Klein the county auditor, submitted the report yesterday to the finance committee of the Board of Freeholders. The Klein report covers the period from Jan. 1, 1958, to June 30, 1959. The disclosure of the shortage came July 9 when Chief Probation Officer Thomas F.

Hoboken's Mayor John Grogan, spokesman for the group, issued this statement yesterday after the mayors met'for 4 hours: "The mayor's committee, with the exception of Mayor Charles Witkowski (of Jersey City), voted to urge the Senate and the As sembly to meet and adopt the amendments recommended by the joint committee of municipal rail transportation groups of North ern New Jersey." The transit plan itself, as proposed by Governor Meyner, seeks to use surplus funds from the New Jersey Turnpike to aid debt-ridden commuter railroads. Hudson County municipalities want to make sure that nothing is done to tamper with the 11 mil lion dollars they receive annually in railroad taxes. The amendment, if adopted, would provide complete protec tion of Hudson class 2 railroad ratabies until 1988. If ratabies are altered because of the plan, the transit program would be mandated inoperative. The public is to vote on the entire plan Nov.

"We're going to win this thing now," manager Al Lopez boomed jubilantly after his American League champions defeated the Dodgers 1-0 in Los Angeles yesterday on five singles to keep their chances for the World Series crown alive. Hours later both teams arrived by plane at Chicago's Midway Airport, the Dodgers first, about 3 a.m., and the White Sox some 20 minutes later.

A small crowd, perhaps 750 persons, cheered players of both teams with non-partisan gusto. Some of the players had slept after a light lunch aboard the planes. Most of them hurried off to their hotels. Some remained at the airport for the arrival of the plane carrying wives and other members of their families. Neither Lopez nor Walt Alston, the Dodgers' manager, would say if their clubs planned to workout today.

The Dodgers lead 3-2 in the best of seven series and can win the world title with one more victory. The sixth game will start at 2 p.m. Thursday at Chicago's Comiskey Park and the seventh game, if needed, at the same time and place the following day.

Americans were asked by President Eisenhower to join in prayer and "give thanks for the bounty of providence which has made possible the growth and promise of our land." Under a congressional resolution of 1952, the President each year assigns a day, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer.

He issued his proclama tion July 30. I A Soviet announcement last night said the cosmic rocket reached a point 7,000 kilometers (4,349.6 miles) from the moon at 10:16 a.m. yesterday and then "kept its movement turning around the moon." Stays in Planned Orbit By noon, the announcement continued, the rocket was 1E.O00 kilometers (9,320.5 miles) from the moon's surface and continuing "on its predetermined orbit." This was supposed to take it on around the moon and into a long oval orbit around the earth at the other end. At that time, the Russians said the Lunik was 230,925 miles from the earth, over the Atlantic Ocean east of the Islands of Martin Vas. The Soviet announcement said rjreliminarv processing of data from the satellite showed the temperature aboard ranges from 25 to 30 degrees centigrade a comfortable 77 to 80 degrees farenheit and that a predetermined pressure of 1.001 millimeters of mercury is being maintained.

The House subcommittee on legislative oversight then planned to turn its spotlight on another TV quiz "Dotto," the first of the shows to collapse under fraud charges. This started a chain of events that brought to an end the era of huge money prizes and strained, sweating faces peering out of isolation booths. The committee opened its rerun spectacular yesterday in an ornate caucus room. The expectant audience guffawed repeatedly as films of long gone "Twenty-One" shows were run off on a screen, complete with commercials. At one point in the screenings, master of ceremonies Jack Barry remarked, "There must be a moral here someplace I don't know what it is." The crowd roared.

Verge of Panic The story of the doublecross was unfolded by James Snod-grass, a 37-year-old New York artist. He testified that he brought "Twenty One's" producers to the verge of panic by giving the correct answer to a question he said they told him to miss. When the show ended, Snod- grass said, producer Albert Freedman "came to my dressing room and said I had ruined Snodgrass wound up with a com paratively measly $4,000. Echoing testimony by Herbert Stempel, another former contestant, Snodgrass said he, too, had been supplied in advance with questions and answers and even coached on dress, mannerisms and gestures. Snodgrass said Freedman "sug gested that I have my teeth clean ed and that I wear an off-white shirt." Told to Miss The doublecross came, Snodgrass said, when Freedman in structed him to miss a question and thus lose a month-long run ning contest with Hank Bloom- garden, also of New York.

Subcommittee Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) said the purpose of the four-day inquiry is to de termine whether there has been any violation of federal law and whether new laws are needed.

I'm so tired of waiting." That summed up the feeling of Mrs. Alma Helen Stevens, 26, object of a nationwide search as the woman accomplice of a man who killed himself in a bizarre but futile bank holdup here two weeks ago.

She was arrested by two patrolmen last night in a rooming house on a tip that a man and a woman were arguing loudly and disturbing other occupants. Mrs. Stevens told detectives Accomplice Encephalitis Cases Dipping Trenton (JP) The state Health Department today reported only one person in the state had shown symtoms of encephalitis in the past 10 days. The department's records continued to show 19 deaths out of 29 suspected cases of eastern equine encephalitis, a form of sleeping sickness. Eleven of the cases have been presumptively confirmed." There have been no deaths since early Monday.

While all of the cases among humans have been confined to the wooded parts of the state's shore counties, the disease is suspected to have killed hundreds of pheasants on farms in Somerset and other counties. The Health Department reported 17 bird farms had been quarantined, including that of J. M. Madison in Rocky Hill, where 300 pheasants were destroyed after showing symptoms of the disease. It also said nearly three dozen horses believed to have the disease had been destroyed.

The department says it never had heard of encephalitis a disease which produces high fevers, nausea and coma spreading directly from animals to humans. It said the rare species of mosquito which carries the disease only bites humans if no birds or horses are available. In Atlantic City yesterday, the N. J. Resort Association said it would prod the state Legislature to give research funds to combat mosquitoes.

Occasional Rain Possible Tonmht The weather will be unsettled and partly cloudy with a chance of occasional showers tonight and tomorrow according to Mrs. Vivian Scherer, co-operative weather observer. Tonight will be down around 60 and a high in the 70s is the forecast for tomorrow. Yesterday's high of 89, though unseasonable, is not a record since the books show a high of 91 in Oct 6, 1941. The overnight low was 66.

But they said they expected any further peace talks to be conducted by the industry team headed by R. Conrad Cooper, a U. S. Steel Corporation vice president. As far as U.

S. Steel is con cerned, Blough said, it regards the industry's 15-cent offer over a two-year period as non-inflationary. He said that under this proposal U. S. Steel "would not expect to see any increase in the general level of steel prices in the foreseeable future." The government reported the steelworkers were earning an average of $3.11 an hour in June.

The situation is expected to get progressively worse in the weeks ahead.
