Judges
Decision Due
Later Today
In Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A fed
eral judge said tudny his derision
is iniinincnt in a Taft-Hartley In
junction case whereby the govern
ment is Keeking to halt the i9-day
steel strike. Judge Herbert P.
Sorg said he will announce his de
cision before the day is out.
Judge Sorg made the statement
to newsmen during a recess in
court proceedings.
His decision had been delayed
by a three-hour conference among
company and union officials over
retroactive pay.
Union attorneys told the judge
that, if the men return to work
under an injunction, any econom
ic settlement made in the mean
time should be retrouctivo fur the
length of the back-to-work order.
During the delay, steel compa
ny counsel filed a legal brief with
the court staling opposition to the
union s retroactive pay request.
The brief said:
"If retroactivity should be or
dered, the court would be settling
in favor of the union one of the
most important terms of collec
tive bargaining.
Appeal Could Otlay Work
Even if an injunction is gran'ed
an end of the strike could be de
layed by an appeal. The rou.-t
could but would not have to
slay the injunction while an ap
peal was acted upon.
The government argued Tues
day that lost steel production was
threatening the nation's health
and safety. The striking United
Stcelworkcrs Union said the strike
was creating hardships but was
not endangering the national econ
omy. Judge Sorg took the case under
advisement after listening to ar
guments by both sides for nearly
three hours. President Eisenhow
er ordered the Justice Depart
ment to seek the injunction
The Stcelworkcrs Union and 06
steel companies were named de
fendants in the ease. The steel
firms represent almost 90 per cent
of the nation's steel production
capacity.
An injunction, if issued by Judge
Sorg. would send the half million
striking stcelworkcrs hack to the
mills for an 80-day cooling oft pe
riod. Meanwhile, the Industry and the
union would bo under court order
to try to negotiate a pcrmi'.nent
settlement In the long and costly
dispute.

Castro's most respected field com
manders, had resigned as provin

complete control over all the
armed forces.

The group took refuge in the mili

Fate Thought
Determined
WASHINGTON (AP)-Secretary
of the Army Wilber JU. Brucker
hinted today that the fate of the
Army Ballistic Missile Agency,
deeply involved in the space race
with the Soviet Union, was settled
at a White House conference to
day. '
brucker was a late and not
previously announced partici
pant in a meeting between Presi
dent Eisenhower and his top space
advisers. The session was set up
to solve the problem of how to
push the United States into strong
er competition with the Soviets in
the outer reaches.
Emerging from the talks some
time after the others had left,
Brucker was asked if there had
been a decision on the missile
agency and its crack team of
space experts headed by Wernhcr
von Braun.
He first replied that was a mat
ter in the province of the Presi
dent. Asked if that meant there had
been no decision, Brucker an
swered: "I didn't say that."
Golf Trip
About the same time the White
flouse said Eisenhower probably
will make a statement about the
meeting after he arrives in Au
gusta, Ga. The President left di
rectly after his space conference
for a five-day golfing vacation.
Specific questions before the
White House conferees included
the disposition of the agency and
specifically what to do about the
Huntsville. Ala., project for devel
opment of the Saturn booster, a
huge cluster of eight rockets with
l'j million pounds of thrust.
That is half again as much
thrust as anything the Soviet Un
ion is known to have and would
hurl bigger payloads farther into
space.
But the Pentagon does not need
that much push for military rock
ets, and has been pulling back on
supporting the program.
mere lias occn talk that Saturn
support might be shifted to the
civilian National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and NASA
at one time made a direct bid for
the whole Huntsville operation.

Cable Damage
Found On Sub
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP)
The acting commander of the
Portsmouth Naval Base said here
damage "apparently inten
tional" to a number of electrical
cables on the nuclear submarine
USS Nautilus has been discov
vered during the ship's overhaul.
Capt. Carl A. Johnson said the
Navy is conducting an investiga
tion and the FBI has been noti
fied.
Johnson's comment came after
the Portsmouth Herald said it had
learned of a series of incidents
involving "sabotage-type" dam
age to the craft.
The Nautilus is being over
hauled in the Portsmouth Naval
Shipyard. The newspaper said it
learned the submarine "has been
plagued by a pattern of damage
which has raised suspicion of sab
otage." In Washington, the Navy said
the damage was first discovered
Oct. 15, and appears to be con
fined to the electric system and
"does not extend to the nuclear
reactor plant."
The world's first atomic pow
ered vessel entered Portsmouth
July 26 for an extensive overhaul
that was scheduled to be com
pleted late next February.
The Navy said it is too earlv
to tell whether the vessel will
come out of the shipyard as early
as planned. Further checks will
be made for damage.
