McPonald of the United Steelworkers told an Industrial executive Saturday that a wage freeze would- lower living standards and worsen the economic recession.

The union leader replied to an IpMpp from Harold J. Rut- tenberg, once a United Steelwork ers economics researcn director and now president of a rotary drilling machinery firm in Beaver Falls, Pa 2 Parley cratic Governor said. He added "While our state has not been hit as severely as some parts of the nation, it is impossible to quarantine the effects of the recession among the states." Harriman pointed out that the Buffalo, Syracuse and Utica: Rome areas had been designated as "substantial labor surplus" areas by federal officials. Employ ment levels have dropped across the state, he added. The Governor said nearly 000 jobless workers had exhausted their insurance benefits.

Two weeks ago, he said, the pace had jumped to 3,000 a week and was "sure" to increase in the coming weeks. As a result, Harriman said, "there' is already mounting evi dence of heavier burdens being placed upon local welfare author ities." He said applications for home relief were 50 per cent higher than a year ago. Algeria Jittery in New Unrest ALGIERS, Algeria UP) Ten thousand persons defied French Resident-Minister Robert Lacoste Saturday in a public demonstra tion against suggestions that France might compromise with the Algerian rebels. The throng, made up mainly of extreme rightist veterans groups and students, marched through downtown Algiers. Most shops closed their shutters in fear of possible violence.

There was none. Although. Lacoste is strongly against any compromise on Alger ia by France, he rushed back from Paris to forbid street demonstrations in fear of bloody rioting, Only an hour before the marchers stepped off, he, went on the air to try to dissuade them. Lacoste said he had made it clear to Rene Pleven, now seeking to form a new French govern ment, that Algeria has an irreducible will to remain French and that we absolutely condemn all foreign interference." This was not for the organizers of the march. They fear there is growing feeling in Paris that a new French government must sit down with the rebels and bring an end to the more than 3Vi years of fighting.

The missile test center was quiet Saturday after a frustrating week during which one major project! met with partial success and two' others, including the mighty Van-1 guard, were postponed. It was reported, however, an other attempt will be made to launch the sensitive Vanguard and its 20-mch satellite early next week, possibly Monday. The test, the last in a series of seven designed primarily to check the performance of the launching vehicle, was called off twice Friday because of technical trouble. Last Wednesday, a' secret Air Force re-entry project labeled Thor Able seemed to be fired successfully, but hope of recovering the rocket's vital nose cone was abandoned. In another test, a Bomarc ground-to-air launching was scrubbed when an undeter mined malfunction developed in the take-off mechanism.

It was understood the Air Force hoped fire the Bomarc at a pilotless bomber drone target more than 250 miles out along the South At lantic test range, the longest launching of the defense missile ever attempted. The nature of the difficulties de laying the Vanguard firing was not disclosed, but it was learned unofficially the trouble ruled out any possibility of a weekend launching attempt. The Vanguard, which carries a 21-pound, basketball-sized satellite in its nose, originally was scheduled for launching Thursday night. The Navy called off the first attempt early Friday morning after the check came as close as three minutes to launching time. The same technical trouble ap parently could not be overcome in time for another shoot Friday night.

SOCIOLOGIST DEAD PRINCETON, N. J. tfl Dr. Norman S. Buchanan, 52, director for social sciences of the Rockefeller Foundation, died in his home Friday night of a heart mit meeting into further uncertainty Saturday by stipulating that Communist Poland and Czechoslovakia should have seats at jo5.t.

pre-summit diplomatic talks. Word of this stand by the Soviet Union came from reliable sources in Moscow. It raised new doubt whether the Kremlin really wants a summit meeting, at any time in the near future, to ease East- West tension. In Washington, the State Department interpreted the Russian position as a rejection of Western proposals that envoys of the United States, Britain and France meet immediately in Moscow with Foreign Minister Gromyko to help prepare the way for a possible -session of top leaders. (Opposed by West dispatch from Moscow said the west was sura to reject the Soviet condition that if joint ir preliminary diplomatic talks are held, a couple of Com munist nations besides Russia should have seats at the table.

However, the State Department made no comment on this point, saying it lacked information on the Soviet stipulation. The department issued a statement saying: "We have received only a preliminary message from our Embassy in Washington which indicates, that the Soviets have rejected our proposal of April 24 designed to facilitate progress toward making adequate preparations for a summit meeting." Lincoln White, department press officer, said the full text of Gromyko's to the Apri: 24 note was just beginning to come in and there would be no further comment until the text had been studied. 'Principle of Parit" The Western Big Thiee hava been proposing that their ambassadors meet jointly with Gromyko. He has been insisting ne should meet with them one by one. He added the stipulation Saturday that if joint sessions are upheld, there should be more seats on the Red side of the table, to uphold the "principle of parity." of State Dulles told a news conference last month tha result of bringing in other Co.m-munist spokesmen at an international meeting would simply be to increase the number of times tha Soviet case would be presented.

His hearers gained the impression that if the Soviets insisted on parity he might not object. La'er on, at another news conference, Dulles said the Soviets were insisting on an impossibly high price for a summit conference and expressed opposition, as ha put it, to equating Eastern European satellites with nations like Britain and France.

Decision in Restaurant Explodes Quits Because of 'Spirits' at Work WASHINGTON UP) President Eisenhower's divided advisers are due for a showdown within a week over the fateful issue of suspend ing nuclear weapons tests. Secretary of State Dulles, it was learned, wants to be ready for decisive discussions of the question when he meets foreign ministers of Britain, France, and other NATO allies in a conference at Copenhagen beginning May 5.

The Issue is drawn most sharply within the administration between Dulles and Chairman Lewis Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission. Dulles favors deter mined steps to halt testing, while Strauss has waged a public cam paign for further development of weapons tnrougn continued testing. Dulles gained a powerful ally in recent weeks, according to all available evidence. Dr. James R.
