He said it has been sometimes called a "purple phone," but the United States fa vors a teleprinter line capable of handling two-way simultaneous transmission of messages in both Russian and in English.

Four Convicts Escape Prison JACKSON, Mich. (UPI) Four convicts, two of them convicted killers, sawed their way to free dom from the nation's largest walled prison early today, touch ing off one of the most concen trated manhunts in Michigan his tory. The four were described by Southern Michigan prison authori ties as "dangerous and desper ate." Roadblocks were set up throughout most of southern Mich igan. Authorities speculated that the fugitives were still on foot. The men were James J. Hall, 40; Richard Mauch, 40; Robert Gipson, 30, and Elmer Crachy, 24. Hall was serving a life sentence for second-degree murder: Mauch, a life term for assault with intent to commit murder; Gipson, a 13-25 sentence for second-degree mur der, and Crachy 20-30 years as a habitual criminal. Charles Egeler, administrative assistant to the warden, said the men "had acquired some tools and cut their way through the bars." He said: once they got to the exterior wall of the prison they had to cut more bars and then had to cross a lighted yard and cut through a fence. . Beside the hole in the fence, Egeler said, authorities found a saw and bar spreaders, used in the escape. The first convict was discovered missing about 3 a.m. and about four hours later prison authorities announced the other three had es caped. They had placed dummies in their cots and routine checks by guards did not reveal their absence.

For Full Details See Tomorrow's, News -Review impartial inquiry into costs and wages involved in steel produc tion. The United Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO) is expected to reopen its contract with pro ducers next month for possible wage increases. Douglas said the committee would not go directly into the wage situation, but would consider "the pay of labor in re lation to the output per man hour." First witnesses scheduled were Labor Department experts on pro ductivity and technological devel opments. The price hike began on April 9 when Wheeling Steel Corp. an nounced "selective" increases. The pattern was set last week when U.S. Steel, the largest pro ducer and traditional price lead er, announced increases of $5 a ton on cold-rolled sheet and strip and $7 a ton on galvanized. This was an increase of about 3.42 per cent on products affect ed but only about 1 per cent in over-all steel prices, compared to the 3 per cent increases last year, which the companies re scinded following President Ken nedy's protest. . , The President did not oppose this year's "selective" increases but he has warned against infla tionary wages or prices in con sumer goods as a result of them. JaVits said steel companies were entitled to a fair profit but some "grave dangers"-were in volved in the price increase. He said it could be a "signal for in flation,!' with manufacturers of consumer goods using it to pass along a larger increase to the public. "It also is likely that this in crease may result in widespread demands for wage increases whether or not they are related to productivity, profits or the gen eral price level, ' Javits said.

The government closed all schools on the western bank of the River Jor dan, presumably to discourage mass student demonstrations. Tall Bedouin soldiers in flowing robes rode through back alleys of Amman Monday to take up posts at strategic corners in readiness for any new public outbursts. They were backed up by armored cars.
