PAGES. PRICE: In Kansas DROP STEEL PAY DEMAND Fourth Round Increase Is Abandoned by C. I. 0. "With Profound Regret," Murray Says After a Policy Meeting.

AGREES TO TRUCE Truman Request for an 11-Day Extension' of Strike Deadline Is Accepted. ONE FIRM WOULD BARGAIN Republic Steel Is First Company to Announce Attitude on Pensions. Union Leader Expresses Hope That a "Prompt Settlement" Will Result. Pittsburgh, Sept. 12.

(AP)-The C. I. O. Steelworkers union gave up its fight for a fourth round wage increase today and called off a strike set for midnight tomorrow. The big union accepted both President Truman's request for an 11-day extension of the strike truce and recommendations of a presidential fact-finding board aimed at solving the steel wage dispute.

Philip Murray, president of the C. I. O. and the United Steelworkers, told Mr. Truman in a telegram he gave up the wage increase demand "withe profound regret" but agreed board's recommendations "in the interest of concluding a prompt settlement." Willing to Bargain.

The Republic Steel corporation of Cleveland was the first steel company to reply following the C. I. 0. action. Tonight a spokesman said Republic is willing to bargain with the steelworkers on pensions with a view to completing a study of the entire problem by March 1, 1950.

President Truman did not comment immediately on the day's de- velopments. However, a top White House associate said the President views the agreement in the steel as a forerunner of controversy peaceful settlements in widespread industrial disputes. Six of the nation's major steel producers have accepted the truce extension request. President Truman's 3-man panel suggested that workers forego wage increase and that both sides to a 10-cent hourly increase agree package covering insurance and pensions. steelworkers asked a 30-cent package, including the wages.

The union's decision was made in day-long meetings of its executive board and wage policy committee at the Hotel Sheraton. The acceptances were made in the form of a resolution which Murray said was adopted unanimously by the 170- member committee. Union Meeting Is Calm. The tone of the union sessions was calm and orderly. Only sporadic bursts of applause were heard through the tightly closed doors of the hotel ballroom.

At the conclusion of six and a half hours of sessions, Murray gave newsmen copies of the resolution and the telegram sent the White House. The telegram, which summarized the resolution, said in part: "The union will extend the for continued work and operations under the terms of the collective bargaining agreements in effect between the union and the a various companies until 12:01 a. September 25, 1949." telegram repeated the steelworkers' "firm belief that union's proposal for cents per hour increase in wages currently payable is completely justified and was amply supported by evidence produced before the board." Points to Public Interest. "Nevertheless," the telegram added, "in the interest of concluding a prompt settlement of the existing labor dispute in the basic steel industry and in recognition of the public interest in this dispute, the international executive board and the international wage policy committee of the United Steelworkers of America hereby authorize the international officers of the United Steelworkers of America to accept the recommendations of the steel industry board as set forth in its report to the The steelworkers now average around $1.65 hourly. Their pay has increased 46 cents an hour in the last three years.

In 1946 the industry granted an 18-cent hourly boost, then gave 15 cents more in 1947 and last year came across with 13 cents additional. Murray told a news conference his union will be ready to resume collective bargaining with the steel companies "as early as tomorrow morning." A spokesman for the United States Steel corporation, the nation's biggest producer, said there will be no comment from "Big Steel" tonight. U. S. Steel took the lead in the developments last summer which led to a stalemate in negotiations.

United States and other companies flatly refused the union's demand for a 30-cent package. That (Continued on Second Page.) G-E gas-fired replacement furnaces. General Htg. Cooling. GR.

Cents EASE AT TV SHOW A Crowd of About 20,000 Finds Time and Space to Enjoy Exposition. ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS Rush of Sunday Is Missing, So Visitors Get Down to the Facts. MANY FROM FAR AWAY There Is Quite a Bit of Interest in Distance -Event Closes Today. ON PAGE 6.1 The Exhibition Hall appeared to be just the right size yesterday afternoon and last night. Or, to turn the thing around, the crowd that attended the second run of the television premiere was just the right size for the hall.

It was a crowd just large enough to keep the sponsors in a state of continuing enthusiasm. It was a crowd just small enough to be able to circulate freely, to see all there was to see without hindrance, to stop and ask all the questions it wanted--to get the answers in complete form and without interruption. Show committee officials the turnout the 12-hour period, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night, to be somewhere close to the 20,000 mark. It was a fluid, in-and-out type of audience, comfortably reduced from overwhelming throng that turned opening Sunday afternoon. Look Into the Cost.

Perhaps it was because the spectators had more room yesterday in which to circulate. In any case they shifted their attention from one to another of the receivers on display, and many of them got down to specific in the way of the performance of a particular set, its cost, and how it would fit in with the other furnishings of the living room. Some of the distributors and dealers said the response from the buying public was even better than they had expected. They were surprised also at the number of persons who live a considerable distance from Kansas City who had made the trip in for the show and were ready to talk business about a receiver. These out-of-town persons gravitated naturally to an outdoorantenna exhibit which was tucked in under the mezzanine at the north end of the hall.

Many appeared to be determined to obtain the biggest antenna they could, in order to pick up the WDAF-TV signals at the maximum range. The man who answered the questions about the antenna was Thomas L. Bender, a representative of the Television and Radio Technicians organization. Dealing mostly with live a considerable distance from Kansas City, Bender pointed out that the largetype antenna probably would be a worthwhile investment for them. There are built-in antennas, but the big outdoor job.

sitting up on the roof, is designed particularly for pulling in the signals at long range, Bender told his questioners. The equipment set up for exhibition was made of aluminum mounted on a steel tower. It could height be of adjusted fifteen to feet a maximure roof. On top of the regular lowband antenna could be fitted, if necessary, still another bit of equipment for catching signals of stations broadcasting on high bands. Sees Parts of a Set.

Another display which had a crowd packed around it at all times was a panel which contained all the various parts which go into particular make of receiver. A a placard at the side stated that the receiver had 799 parts, and that its manufacture required 7,458 labor operations. A woman stared at the parts display-799 pieces of equipment, no two of them looking, exactly alike. Then she turned older woman and exclaimed: "Look here at all of this. Isn't this something? Holy cow! It would take two Philadelphia lawyers to figure this thing out." Whether they were looking and figuring--or just looking--the crowd had plenty of entertainment.

WDAF-TV, The Star's station, presented the same run of film features on the closed circuit test as it had Sunday, but it also offered other films and live broadcasts to turn out a program of more variety. The first live broadcast was presented shortly after 2 o'clock. Dick Smith, WHB program director, came over as neighborly gesture to interview Joe Flaherty, chief engineer of WDAF-TV; Bill Bates, program director of WDAF-TV, and Kenneth Gillespie, chairman of the show committee. The interview, conducted improvised studio at the north end of the mezzanine, was televised. Interview on Radio, Too.

The audience saw the images of the four men projected the screens of the receivers and heard the questions and answers through the loudspeakers of the sets. Meanwhile the interview was going into a tape recorder set up in the studio. The interview was then rebroad(Continued on Second Page.) Lenox china in 7 beautiful patterns now at Emery, Bird, Books!

The labor president said the Communist leaders are counting upon the corrupting influence of fifth-column movements and the disastrous effects of possible economic collapse to undermine America's resistance and pave the way for world revolution. "Let me say to them here and now that their frenzied and fanatical attempts to communize the labor movement in America has failed. It has failed utterly," he said.

"Now and in the years come," the labor president said, "this modern edifice will stand as a symbol of the constructive achievements and the remarkable progress which your organization has attained in behalf of its members and the nation as a whole. It is a fitting monument and testimonial to the enduring benefits of sound and free trade unionism." Green traced the war record of the Boilermakers' union. He said he knew of no other union which could "spasti out a more inspiring record service and allout devotion" to the cause of victory. said that while all hopes now are concentrated on the preservation of world peace, the threat of another conflict lies chiefly in economic factors.

The expansion was authorized by the 1949 Legislature in its rural health act, carrying an appropriation of $3,862,560. The program is designed to help solve a shortage of medical personnel in rural areas by providing facilities for training more doctors, nurses, and medical technicians. The first project up for bidding is construction of 2-story additions to the 3-story Eaton and clinic buildings. The additions will include lecture rooms, operating rooms, examination and consultation rooms, a recovery ward and additional hospital bed space. The Legislature allotted $170,755 for the Eaton addition and 395 for the clinic addition.

Marshall said specifications for the second project in the program, an addition to the nurses' home, will be completed in about a month. HEIGHT IS THEIR FORTUNE. Scale Expert Gives a Tip on Butchers to Customers. SEATTLE, Sept. 12.

funds totaling $139,000 were awarded the University of Kansas medical school today for research in heart disease. A grant of $100,000 was made for the building of a cardiovascular unit at the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas; $25.000 for teachand study in cariovascular disease and $14,000 for the establishment of a new training program. An $8,890 award went to the H. L. Snyder Memorial Research foundation at Winfield, for the study of cardiac disease.

Louis received $25,000 and Washington $14,709. The large scale -wide attack on heart disease was launched with a total of $8,614,737 going to eightyfive medical schools and research institutions in thirty-four states. Administered by the National Heart Institute of the Public Health service, the funds will be used for stepped-up heart research, for expanded programs of heart teaching in medical schools, and for building additional heart research laboratories throughout the country. These grants are in addition to grants announced in July (amounting to $1,200,000 for continued research projects already, under way) and provide a of nearly 10 million dollars in federal funds for the fight against heart disease during the fiscal year ending next June 30. This represents more than a 6-fold increase over grants for heart research awarded last year.

"It complements the programs of the American Heart association and other nongovernmental groups. Alone, neither the privately supported program nor the federal effort would provide, this urgently needed mobilization of forces against the leading cause of death in the United States." a Heart disease, which claims over 625,000 lives annually, is recognized as among the foremost public health problems of today.

Jenkins Music 1217 The writ issued yesterday by the Missouri Supreme court orders Judge John F. Cook of the circuit court to show cause why the circuit court should not hear a suit in which members of a laborers union seek an accounting of funds. One of the three defendants is Leonard Irving, Independence, president and business manager of the union. He is fourth district representative in Congress. The Supreme court issued an alternative writ of mandamus on an application filed August 29 by Paul V.

Says He Lacks Jurisdiction. Autidse 15. Cook He dismissed said he the could petition not take jurisdiction. Judge Cook now must within thirty days file a brief explaining his ruling that the circuit court had no jurisdiction.

After the brief is filed a hearing date will be set and the opposing counsel will elaborate on their previous arguments. The Supreme court will either make the mandamus permanent or concur in Judge Cook's ruling. In dismissing the suit, Judge Cook said that a trial board proce-. dure provided by the union offered a remedy "more adequate and complete than a suit for money in a court of law or equity." Barnett had contended that, while the union trial board could discipline an officer or member, it had no authority to render a money judgment. The Other Defendants.

The union is local No. 264, International Hod Carriers, Building and Construction Laborers union, A. F. L. Besides Irving, the defendants are Roy E.

Livingston, financial secretary and treasurer, and Alvin Butcher, recording and corresponding secretary. The suit charges improper diversion of union treasury resources for "overtime" payments to the officers and for purchase of a personal motor car for Irving. Irving returned to Kansas City to read a financial report at a union meeting, but the session ended in a brawl in which several members were injured. Irving characterized the charges against him as inspired by a small clique within the union for political reasons. He has headed the group since 1940.

The day after Judge Cook dismissed the suit, Irving went before the union and read a quarterly financial report without interruption. The union has 1,800 members. WAIT ON NEW GRAND JURY. Judge Buzard Has No Decision Yet for September Term. Judge Paul A.
