Mediators Gfive Up Case, Refer It To President to prompt a wage offer satisfactory to Murray. That appeared to be about the only way to win an agreement which would avaid a strike.

And a walkout would have obviously serious effects at a time when thoe steel industry has record production, yet is not producing enough to fill both defense and civilian needs. A strike would idle about workers in the steel and aluminum industries. The balance of Murray's million-member union has contracts running beyond the first of the year. Fred W.

East Qerman Red Yuletide 'Very Qrim' DUESSELDORF. Germany VP) What will it be like In the Soviet army in East Germany this Christmas? Grim. Very grim. And dry.

This Information comes from Nikolai Ivanovich Shutov, lately a sergeant in Stalin's frontier guards along the Iron curtain, and now a political refugee In West Germany. He got fed up with the Soviet army. Here's how he pictures the holiday for his ex-comrades In the East Zone: Christmas Itself will be Ignored. It will be the usual dawn-to-dark grind of training and duty, with the last meal of the day at 9 p. m.

Even of the feeble attempts cf the dominated East Germans look inviting to him, the Soviet soldier will have to stay away. Troops are not allowed out of the barracks alone. All they see beyond the barbed wire cf the barracks is the streets they use to march to and from their duty areas.

Germans around the camps sell raw potato spirits, wood alcohol, methyated spirits and ny manner cf concoctions to the Soviet soldiers. But the soldiers can't buy much. Shutov's pay was 73 East marks a month, equal to about $5. The outstanding feature of Soviet life, holiday or not. says Shutov, is just plain boredom.

"It's putting the people back into the horse and buggy days," Mystery Man Denies Claims Of Shakedown (Continued from page 1) rapher on the back, saying he thought he made a good picture of him yesterday. Asked whether he will make a statement in his own behalf, Grunewald replied: "Probably later." Reporters couldn't get much of an idea from Grunewald's monosyllabic comments whether he speaks with an accent.

When Teitelbaum told his shakedown story, he said he had received a telephone call from an anonymous person who spoke with a gutteral accent and who warned him he had better pay. T. Lamar Caudle, ousted assistant attorney general, later testified that when he was told the story he remarked that he "surmised" that the gutteral voice might have been Grunewald's. Maloney protested the subcommittee's action in permitting Caudle to testify about that incident in public session. "There is not a shred of truth to that either," Maloney said.

He also denied that Grunewald had paid the hotel bill of anyone who might have made the anonymous telephone call. Maloney said Grunewald would "answer no questions in closed session." But he declined comment when asked whether Grunewald would answer all questions in a public hearing.

W.Va. UP) Dr. Luella R. Mundel, a small, blonde art teacher in her late 30s, took the stand again today in her $100,000 slander suit against a member of the State Board of Education. She contends the board member, Mrs.

Thelma B. Loudin of Fairmont, referred to her as an atheist and "poor security risk" to the extent that she was not rehired by the Board as head of the art department at Fairmont State College. Yesterday she was cross-examined for nearly two hours by U.S. Senator Matthew M. Neely, veteran Bible-quoting lawyer and politician who is serving as Mrs.

Loudin's defense attorney. Dr. George H. Hand, Fairmont State president, testified that Mrs. Loudin did not deny referring to the instructor as a "poor security risk" but said she meant simply that Dr.

Mundel was a poor teacher. The college president said he had recommended to the State Board that Dr. Mundel be rehired at an increased salary, although he said she was "personally obnoxious" to him. He referred to an alleged statement by Dr. Mundel as to what "sexual effect" one of her surrealistic paintings might have on a male faculty member to whom it was presented.

Several of Dr. Mundel's paintings were unveiled in the courtroom but were kept hidden from jury because Neely objected that the painting in question could not be positively identified. The paintings were of an abstract nature not readily understandable to the layman. Dr. Mundel said she was separ Hugo W.
