News Digest WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep. Guy Vander Jagt, said today a substitute must be found for strikes in settling labor disputes. The 9th District Congressman said he is recommending to President Nixon that he establish a commission made up of top-ranking labor and business leaders of the nation to propose the Congress an alternative alternatives to walkouts. WASHINGTON (UPI) -The administration has not yet spelled out how it hopes to preserve Nationalist China's voice in the United Nations while opening the door of the world body to Peking. And even if it can turn its policy into fact, there is still no public indication whether mainland China would be willing to take up the invitation.

As recently as July 19 Premier Chou En-lai reiterated Peking's long-standing opposition to any arrangement that would 7 eave "two Chinas" in the U.N. "If such a situation continues in the United Nations," he added, "we will not go there." The Nationalist Chinese, meantime, were quick to serve notice they will fight Peking's entry. By United Press International Two Israeli newspapers said today Assistant Secretary of State Joseph has asked Israel to withdraw 30 miles from the Suez Canal and to permit Egyptian troops to cross the waterway in exchange for a two-to-three year extension of the Middle East cease-fire. One of the newspapers, Davar, also said Tasco "was not ready to promise Israel a long range contract for the supply of Phantom Jets. He said because of the lull in fighting in Vietnam the United States could supply any number of jets to Israel at any time." WASHINGTON -The railroads' chief gain in the contract settlement that ended the 18- day strike by the United Transportation Union was a new series of work rules that will allow rail carriers to provide more efficient service to customers.

That is a plus for the railroads' competition in the freight market against trucks, ships, barges and other modes of transport. The em- ployes retained a number of the benefits they had under old work rules, however, such as extra pay for serving on a train crew that travels more than 100 miles in one working day. The union also won a 42 per cent wage increase In the 42nmonth contract. Extended Forecast Generally fair with a warming trend.

Their prize haul of 228.7 of PITTSBURGH a suddenness that embarassed and annoyed the Nixon administration, the steel industry began raising prices Monday, less than 15 hours after negotiating a new labor contract. U.S. Steel the nation's largest producer, announced prices would rise an average of 8 per cent on all its products except stainless steel, to finance what it called the "inflationary" three-year contract with the United Steelworkers Union (USW) negotiated in Washington Sunday.

The announcement here came as U.S. Secretary of Labor James D. Hodgson, briefing reporters on the contract settlement in Washington, was saying: "I hope if there are price increases, they will be moderate." Within hours. Bethlehem Steel, the No. 2 producer, Republic, the No.

3 producer, injuries claimed by the plaintiff were not the result of the cab-cruiser collision. Armco, and Youngstown Sheet and Tube followed with similar increases. The rest of the industry was expected to fall in line by the end of the week. Even before any other producer raised prices, the White House made clear it considered the U.S. steel price increase immoderate, surprising and displeasing.

"The administration was not informed 'in advance of this action," White House Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said. "The administration feels that in view of the already unfavorable competitive position of the domestic steel industry it is questionable whether this price increase is in the industry's long run interests." Warren said. the name of science, Apollo 15's three astronauts got well- deserved extra rest today while their spaceship reaped more dividends from a space mission already ranking as America's most rewarding.

"We made a thorough search of the LM (lunar module) before we let it go," Scott assured anxious scientists on Earth. The Falcon was jettisoned Monday night. Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt, a geologist and backup pilot for Irwin, said Scott and Irwin almost certainly gathered samples of a large section of lunar history, perhaps dating back close to its earliest days.

"I don't think there's any question that we had a fantastic exploration mission on the surface of the moon at Hadley," Schmitt told reporters this morning. Even while the astronauts slept, after Monday's grueling schedule, the Endeavour operated as an orbiting observatory, its $17 million array of instruments mapping broad stretches of rugged moon terrain that may never be visited by man.
