Kefauver Asks line Be Cited For Contempt Bulletin; The Senate Antitrust subcommittee has re- commended that four big steel companies and nine of their top executives be cited for contempt of Congress. This action occurred after the executives failed to appear before the subcommittee day despite subpoenas.

The action must be approved by the Senate Judiciary committee and by the Senate itself. Washington (AP) Senator Estes Kefauver, has asked his Senate anti-trust subcommittee to cite nine top executives of four big steel firms for contempt of Congress. The subcommittee was expected to go into closed session to tackle the problem. The executives had defied subcommittee subpoenas earlier today by refusing to appear and pi oduce production cost data. The firms Bethlehem, Republic, National and Armco contend the subcommittee has no right to such confidential information.

Kefauver accused the four companies of wilful and premeditated contempt of congress. At today's session of the subcommittee, the Tennessee democrat called out the names of the nine officials subpoenaed to appear. When there" were no responses, he directed that the record should so indicate. contempt of congress is punishable by a fine, of $1,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Kefauver declared that the officials and their companies were guilty of what he called contumacious conduct.

He said he found it all the more amazing because eight other steel firms had agreed to supply the subcommittee with the cost, figures if wanted. The senator said the nation's largest steel producer U. S. Steel 'had worked long and diligently with his staff to devise procedure under which the data could be furnished. One of the nine who failed to appeW today board chairman Thomas Millsop of National -has issued a statement in Pittsburgh in which he claims that today's moves were in his words in no sense an expression of disrespect for the U.

S. Senate. Millsop says the steel-men are trying to protect a basic principle of the free enterprise system. He claims the Kefauver group would make the cost data available to competitors. Washington (AP) A senator probing the activities of Billie Sol Estes says that despite denials he has a feeling the Texan got some favored treatment.

Republican Carl Curtis of Nebraska told his colleagues; "I cannot escape the feeling that somewhere in the top management of agriculture someone did respond." The senate investigations subcommittee is looking into cotton acreage allotment deals involving the free-wheeling Texas pro-' moter. They want to determine whether someone in Government gave Estes a hand up. Some of the senators said yesterday their hearings indicate the department of agriculture is ripe for a structural overhaul. In expressing his comments today, Curtis suggested that poor management couldn't be the whole answer. He said he could not escape the feeling that Estes got in his words treatment far beyond what any other farmer in United States would receive.

I The Nebraska senator said he could not believe that the alleged influence deals by Estes came about only because the agriculture department is as Curtis put it so unwieldy that problems and even scandals were bound to occur. Chicago (AP) Union and management men have been conferring with a federal mediator in an effort to end the Chicago and North Western railway strike. The session with Francis O'Neill of the National Mediation Board was behind closed doors.
