PRESS, Friday, April 13, I 1962 under news conference price records of had questioning, had discosteel that been subpoenaed Thursday morning. Blough said he was not subpoenaed personally. Later the Bethlehem, Jones Laughlin and Armco Steel corporations confirmed they had received subpoenas, and that the president of still another company, not identified, has been subpoenaed to appear a week from today. Next, newsmen learned that the attorney general had discussedwith a group of visiting foreign college professors the possibility of forcing U.S. Steel to divest some segments of its vast empire of ore fields, blast furnaces, mills and fabricating plants.

Witnesses said Kennedy told the professors the department checking two questions, one being whether the steel companies got together, and raised prices. quoted as saying. "If these did that, they would be in violation of the law and they would be subject to criminal penalties. "The second question is if one company, namely U.S. Steel, so dominates the industry 1 that it controls prices and should broken up.

"These matters are under study. All that can be done will be done." Shortly thereafter Edwin Guthman, Justice Department information officer, confirmed that attorney general was correctly quoted. Meantime two more steel companies climbed on the higherprice bandwagon. National Steel fifth largest, posted the $6 increase and was followed by Pittsburgh Steel 14th in rank. Five companies had followed U.S.

Steel's lead a day earlierBethlehem, the second biggest; Republic, No. Jones Laughlin, No. Youngstown Sheet and Tube, No. 7, and Wheeling Steel, No. 11.

But hope flickered in the administration that some substantial number of the roughly 200 companies in the industry might decline to play follow-the-price leader. The price parade obviously had slowed down for 24 hours at least, and to this extent was not following the pattern of rapid-fire markups which has characterized most previous steel price Though the holdouts represented only about one-fourth of all U.S. capacity, they could supply steel at the old $150 a ton price to create problems for the higher-priced producers. Blough admitted as much at his news conference. A reporter noted that Armco Steel and Inland Steel, both among the top 10 producers, so far had not raised prices.

He asked: "If they don't go along, how long can you stick your price increase?" to, "It would definitely affect us, and I don't know how long we can maintain our Blough replied. He wouldn't hazard a guess as to how many days, but when the questioner persisted he repeated: "It would make it very difficult for The No. 1 steelman gave no sign, however, that he seriously contemplated such a development. Nevertheless an administration campaign was launched in what one official called an effort to quarantine the price increase; in other words to discourage any inflationary trend by applying force of public opinion. Kennedy Continued from page 1 ships Saturday morning, Kennedy will watch an antisubmarine warfare demonstration and firings of the Terrier, Bullpup and Sidewinder missiles.

Major fires during his career included the city garage blaze of in which Brady was trapped by a falling roof as he led his men, and was badly burned before a rescue team reached him. Blough Continued from page 1 the nation's welfare, strength and vitality. He said he was surprised by the bitterness of White House reaction and was not in any sense defying anyone. Just 24 hours earlier, the President had accused Blough and a handful of other steel executives of irresponsible defiance and ruthless disregard of the national interest.

In a lengthy explanation, Blough said raising prices, and hopefully profits, was a step to accumulate plant improvement and modernization funds needed to keep in the competitive race with the modern steel mills abroad built in the postwar period. This was made necessary by rising costs, he said." Expresses Surprise Blough expressed surprise at an estimate that the steel hike would add $1 billion to defense expenditures. Direct sales to the Defense Department, including sales through subcontractors and everybody else, would account for only about $20 million extra, he said. The increase, he said, adds almost negligibly to materials costs in, every-day products. As typical, he mentioned 65 cents for a small refrigerator, $10.64 on a standardsize car, three cents for an electric toaster, 70 cents for a domestic 4-burner range, five one-hundreths of a cent on a commonsized food can.

Blough spoke throughout in calm, deliberate, tones, sometimes hesitating, and with apparent reluctance to generate any new friction by use of strong terms. He said foreign imports of steel were a very serious problem, and stressed the role of up-to-date machinery and equipment in meeting their challenge. Without such improvements, he added, "no sales will be made, no work provided, no taxes available and our international competitive positions, our balance of payments, our gold reserves and our national growth will seriously suffer." Pin Needler MONROE, Wis. (UPI)-A young magazine salesman was ordered out of town Thursday by police who thought he was "needling" customers with his premium offer. Police said he told prospective buyers, he was working his way through medical school and offered to return to give them free penicillin shots when he completed his studies.

Elmer Zeinemann, 53. State Conservation Leader, Dies Steel Continued from page 1 had advanced against the price rise. McNamara said it is at the direction of Kennedy that the Pentagon is looking for substitutes for steel. He said iron and steel prices have increased 90 per cent since 1947 while nonferrous metals have gone up only 40 per cent. Replying indirectly to one of Blough's arguments, McNamara said the amount of steel bought directly by the military is relatively small, most on it coming through contractors.

Disagrees With JFK Blough, disagreeing with an estimate by Kennedy that the defense cost could come to $1 billion, estimated that on the basis of direct Defense Department purchases of from 3 to million tons a $6 a ton increase would Xenount to only about $20 million worth a year. To one question, McNamara said that he considers the steel increase "an unjustified deprice velopment and I state that on the basis of both my experience here and in industry." McNamara was president of the Ford Motor Co. when he was appointed defense secretary. met with newsmen only about 10 minutes, rushing to the conference after a meeting with Kennedy and then hurrying back to the White House for the broader talk on steel. The calling of a New York grand jury to go into the matter had been disclosed previously, and Atty.

Gen. Robert F. Kennedy discussed Thursday the possibility of court action aimed breaking up U.S. Steel on the ground that it has grown so big it exercises too much industry domination. U.S.

Steel No Comment In New York U.S. Steel had no comment on the holdout by Inland Steel. In response to the whole series of developments steels gave ground on the New York Stock market today. U.S. Steel was down about 2 points in early afternoon.

In another Washington development, it was learned the White House is rushing preparation of a special economic document challenging the claims of a steel industry majority that the price rise is justified. The document, which some officials refer to as a "white paper," may be issued later today or during the weekend. Work on the paper is being coordinated by Kennedy's Council of Economic Advisers. Experts on the council staff and at the Treasury Department began making statistical studies of the steel industry's -price situation almost as soon as U.S. Steel announced its price boost.

Lines Of Attack The possible lines of government attack, now officially confirmed by the Justice Department are: 1. Possible criminal penalties against the price-boosting firms and their executives if the government can find and prove any price collusion. 2. A move to dismember the industry's giant, U.S. Steel if the government can convince a federal court that it "so dominates the industry that it controls prices and should be broken Administration officials disputed or shrugged off the ute defense of the price rise made by U.S.

Steel's chairman, Roger M. Blough, in a televised news conference Thursday in New York. was no comment from President Kennedy. Blough said increases were necessary "to the welfare, the strength and the vitality of the nation." They would, he said, partially correct a profit that handicaps American steel in meeting stiffening world competition. Blough said he was surprised at the angry reaction of Kennedy on Wednesday, since no assurances were asked by the White House and none were given that prices would not be raised after last week's steel labor settlement.

Kennedy, who gave his blessings to the union contract agreement and called it non-inflationary, blasted the price hike as an unjustifiable and irresponsible profit grab at the expense of the national interest. Ever since, the scurrying of Justice Department agents and lawyers has been conspicuous. Thursday night it began to make a pattern, as Atty. Gen. Robert F.

Kennedy gave out a few crumbs of information. First, he announced he had ordered a grand jury investigation in New York of the firecracker chain of virtually identical price increases set off by U.S. steel.

Fish Deaths Set At 500 Final estimates of the number of German brown trout which died at Crystal Lake recently ranged from 450 to 500.

District Fish Manager Paul Schultz said today that he and Conservation Warden Glenn Popple completed the removal operation Thursday night. Schultz said indications were the trout died shortly after they were planted in the lake near Lilly Bay, He said it would be impossible to determine the cause of the death. He pointed out the loss of the 450 to 500 fish would not seriously affect the fishing on Crystal Lake this year. Eight thousand rainbow trout were planted in the lake last fall and 5,000 German browns on March 22. There were no losses in the rainbows planted and the 450 to 500 dead German browns were the small specimens planted in March.

Schultz said a planting in Lake Ellen was taken from the same truck load as the March planting in Crystal Lake, but that he had no reports of losses there.

The chances have been improved by the lessening of tensions since the Rusk-Gromyko talks in Geneva, he said. Administration officials continue to warn, however, that the Soviets, or the East Germans with Soviet support, can precipitate a new crisis at any moment by renewing harassment of traffic, particularly in the air corridor. Reports circulated in West Germany that Kennedy had sent a personal message to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on the problem of Berlin access and that Adenauer was planning to come to Washington to consult with the President. Officials here denied there was any presidential message to Adenauer and said they had no knowledge of any plans by the chancellor to come to Washington.
