OPTIHIST Club Hears Report On Dial Phone Progress Some 200 dial phones have been Installed In Hattlesburg and South-em Bell has more than 9.000 to go before the city Is converted completely to the dial system. Southern Bell Is hoping to finish the project by late June of 1953. These statements were made today by A.

G. Sloan, local telephone company employe, who told members of the Optimist club at their weekly luncheon meeting that the 1 dial phones already Installed will be used In the old-fashioned "number please" fashion until the entire network Is set up. Sloan also said that there Is a general misunderstanding that laying of the much-publicized coaxial cable Is primarily for the purpose of television. He said the main purpose was "for the talking circuits well get out of it." After the cable goes Into operation, he said, you will be able to dial someone In New York or California and the call will go straight through and "their phone will be ringing In two or three seconds." It will eliminate handling of a call by more than one exchange. Other Optimists who addressed the club today Included T.

M. Harvey. Bob Smith and Clyde Baker. The club's program Includes weekly talks by members, who describe their work and general backgrounds. This Is called a "get acquainted" program.

STEEL STRIKE (Continued lrorn Page One) from settlement recommendations made by the Wage Stabilization Board (WSB) several months ago. The WSB recommended a 13 H- cent pay Increase effective last January, with 2 "A -cent added Increases this July 1 and next Jan. 1. The 18-cent straight Increase for the life of the contract would run about the same as the WSB's three-step proposal. The WSB also recommended a union shop.

A two-year agreement probably would contain permission for the union to ask for higher wages a year from now, but freeze most oth er contract provisions until mid- 1954. SUPREMECOURT JACKSON. Miss, The Mis sissippi Supreme Court handed down the following opinions today. James Stuart Grantham vs. State; Jones circuit: affirmed and execution fixed for July 24; Richard Archer vs.

State; Jones circuit; affirmed. Mississippi State Bar Jeff The high tribunal declined to do this. Instead it directed that the Cleveland judge vacate his order and dismiss the case on the ground that it is moot that is there Is no longer a live Issue Involved. The dismissal order also means the rejection of the union's question as to legality of the 1950 teiiure, Unlike his seizure of the steel mills which the high court struck down last Monday the railroad seizure was carried out under a special emergency law applying to transportation systems during wartime. The United States was still technically at war when the lines were seized.
