were on strike today at three western Pennsylvania steel companies to back up demands in separte contract disputes. Contracts at all three firms expired, last midnight. Some 1,500 Steelworkers employed by the Erie Forge and Steel Corp. walked off their jobs at 11 p. m.

Tuesday and immediately set up picket lines after bargaining talks collapsed. The union has demanded a settlement similar to that reached with basic steel, a five-cent hourly pay increase and fringe benefits. The company said foundry and forge division employes currently average $2.13 an hour. The union rejected a company Report Supplies Fresh Fuel For Censure Case Against McCarthy By HERBERT FOSTER United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Sept. 1.

The final Army-McCarthy report supplied fresh fuel today for the censure case against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and put President Eisenhower under pressure to retire Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens. The Republican and Democratic members of the Senate Investigating subcommittee Tuesday night returned their separate verdicts in the sensational dispute which stirred the nation and frustrated the Senate and administration for eight weeks this summer.

Both reports, accompanied by separate statements by Sens. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich) and offer last Saturday of a six-cent Everett M. Dirksen (R-I11), fired hourly general increase which would have dropped all incentive pay programs. At New Castle, .1,100 steelworkers and clerical workers of the Rockwell Spring and Axle Co.

plant walked out in an effort to force a contract settlement based on the basic steel agreement. Picket lines were set up and all production was stopped. More than 800 production workers at Oliver Iron and Steel Co. at Pittsburgh halted production in a dispute over fringe benefits of their contract with the firm. The contract originally expired at the end of July but was extended by mutual agreement.

Sherman Richardson, public relations director for the company, said the firm offered an immediate five-cent hourly wage increase. He said present insurance criticism at McCarthy, Stevens, and McCarthy's former counsel, Roy M. And both said there was contradictory testimony demanding Justice Department examination for possible perjury. GOP Harsher With Stevens The four Republicans dealt more harshly with Stevens than with McCarthy. In their separate statements Dirksen gave "McCarthy a clean bill of health and Potter was Charge McCarthy Condoned Abuse The Democrats declared that McCarthy "fully acquiesced in and condoned" Colm's efforts on behalf of Schine even though the young New York attorney had "misused and abused the powers of his office and brought disrepute to the (investigating) sutacommit- "For these inexcusable actions," they said, "Senator McCarthy and Mr.

Cohn merit severe criticism." The Democrats said Stevens deserved "severe criticism" for demonstrating an "inexcusable indecisiveness and lack of sound administrative judgment." Army Counsellor John G. Adams, they said, merited the same for his "policy of appeasement," his "demonstrated weakness," and' his "lack of propriety." But, like the Republicans, they cleared the army of coddling Communists. It was a loud hint that Stevens should be eased out of the sub- cabinet.

Clement Attlee brought his British LaOor- ite delegation out of Red China today from a tour that sections of the British press blasted as ill-timed. The former British prime minister appeared weai'y and haggard When lie walked off the train, leaning on a cane. Attlee declined to comment on the Labor Party delegation's inspection of Red China's facilities, and let Henry W. Franklin of the National Union of RaUwaymen do most of the talking. Franklin appeared annoyed by some of the questions asked by the newsmen and answered them sharply.

He- was informed by one newsman that the train which brought the group out of Red China into Hong K'jng was the first that had crossed the border since 1949. "Well, well," Franklin quipped, "this should Oe a new approach to world affairs." When he was asked if jet planes escorted the delegation's plane from thr Soviet, Umon into Red China, Franklin said: "Oh, I have nothing to say about that am; wouldn't know anything about such things. I'm a pacifist, you know." One editorial writer described the Attlee delegation as "yellow travelers" and others complained about Attlee's toasts to the Chinese wuo had confiscated British holdings.

The Grange members and guests observed the 80th anniversary of its organization on Friday- evening, August 27, in the Grange Hall when an outstanding program was enjoyed, followed by state, a social hour. Prominent county and local officers were present to have a part in the occasion. A delightful social time followed the program.

Shirleysburg Grange No. 119 was organized February 19, 1874, by B. C. Dauney and the first master of tne Grange was W. P.

Mc- Nite of Shirleysburg, a physician and surgeon. This Grange has a most interesting history and has served this entire farming community in an estimable capacity. The lit.ate master, Beatty Dimit, was the guest speaker and honored guest and State Deputy Harry Gwin, accompanied by his wife, was also an honored guest. Other prominent Grange guests of the county and the local officers also had parts and honors in the program of the evening. One of the highlights of the program was a comprehensive history which was given by Mrs.

W. H. Crone and which is most interesting. This was followed by a piano solo, "Twittering Birds," by Wilda Lane and a humorous reading given by Mrs. Fred Madden proved entertaining also.

"Turn Sack The Hands of Time" was a vocal solo by J. Earl McVey, Mrs. Nance Reeder Rohrer accompanying. At this time of the program the state officers heretofore named were honored, and then the county officers, Pomona Master E. P.

Young and wife and Mr. and Mrs. John Miller. The past masters of the Grange who were present at this celebration were. Hayes Walker, Mrs.

The lecturer, Miss Laura Mitchell, presided most efficiently as the program was given.

She presented the honored guest, State Grange Master Dimit, of Indiana, who gave a splendid address and set forth the reason that subordinate Granges have survived. It is because they are based upon three worthwhile principals, the open Btole; the American flag; and the family organization. Some of the finest and best legislation has been passed because of the activity of the Grange. There are approximately 800 Granges in the state and the Grange is the foster father of all farm cooperatives. The Grange has had a w'der field in the past few years because of the fact that schools and churches have become- consolidated.

One of the things we cannot understand the speaker said, is the fact that America was founded by men who came to have freedom from militarism but now we have compulsory military training. The Grange loves peace. War never settled any problem and peace comes 'Only through the Prince of Peace and the teaching that all men ara brothers. The state Grange master told of the Grunge' youth camp which was held at Camp Kanc-satake this year with 114 present. There were but 45 enrolled last year.

His closing thought to this group was that only through service to the community can a Grange hope to grow. The hcme economics chairman, Mrs. W. T.

Watkins said he hoped before nightfall to finish taking documentary evidence on the accusation that McCarthy refused appear before a Senate subcommittee investigating his finances in 1952. This is among the charges McCarthy faced. Others are that he showed disrespect for colleagues and encouraged federal employes to violate oaths of office by giving him confidential information. Sen. John C.

Stennis (D-Miss), a member of the committee, expressed high confidence today in Johnson's impartiality. He said Johnson's remarks were directed at a statement: by Sen. Ralph E. Flanders iR-Vt) that McCarthy was becoming an ally of the Democratic party. "Senator Johnson is one of the fairest, most careful men I ever worked with," Stennis said.

Best Known Landmark In Broad Top Region Broad Top Mountain House as it looks today Broad Top Mountain House, erected 99 years ago as a summer resort, will be a point of interest during the three-day centennial celebration which opens in Broad Top City on Saturday. The large building is one of the best known landmarks of the entire Broad Top region.

In 1854, the Broad Top Improvement Company purchased the farm of Miles Cook and laid out a part of the village of Broad Top City. At this time the company erected a sawmill and started the erection of the 42-room hotel which was completed the following year, 1855. The hotel was much patronized as a summer resort, the mountain scenery and healthful climate of the place attracting many who desired to escape Uie dust and heat of crowded cjties and Mountain House as It looked about years ago. The favorite pastime of the guests was to sit on the long balconies which were built on the front and sides of the Mountain House. On these balconies the guests enjoyed the ever-cooling breezes and marvelled at the scenic view from the cupola.

On a clear day it was possible to visit the cupola and watch trains go through the tunnel near Gallitzin. On Saturday evenings during the summer, the town band would play for the entertainment of the guests from the cupola on the roof of the hotel. While the Mountain House is no longer a gay resort center, the memories of the "good old days" will have n. large pnrt in the Broad Top City Centennial which opens on Saturday and continues through Labor Day.
