However, the heat is on both sides to come up with an agree ment before the 80-day Taft-Hartley injunction runs out, Iron Age said. There is pressure on the in dustry to head off a second walk out and pressure on the union- to avoid compulsory federal arbitra tion should the strike be resumed. The trade paper also said the union plans "a massive encircle ment" of the steel industry by reaching separate contracts with the aluminum, copper and can making industries.. The union's strategy, according to Iron Age, is to isolate the steel industry as the last holdout in hopes of putting "irresistable" pressure on the steel industry for a settlement. and they are' planning one, and possibly two more.

Honorarium Award Robert Valiant, La Grande high school faculty member, will re ceive a 92 mark honorarium from one of Europe's leading dairy journals, the Milchwissenschaft, for the publication of Valiant s thesis written as a graduation re quirement from Corn-1 University. The thesis and subsequent arti cle were concerned with the accuracy of the Gerber chemical test used in Europe and Asia to find the fat content of milk. The Gerber test was not always accur ate, and it was thought that amyl alcohol, one of the chemicals used in the test, might be at fault. After several months of re search, Valiant provided con clusive . evidence that amyl alcohol was indeed the culprit. Valiant then devised a test which would detect very small traces of the material which -caused the error. As work on the problem rpKb gressed. it became clear that the material would be of great value to-' the dairy industries of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The head of the dairy department at Cornell Uni versity wrote to Milchwissenschaft and asked if they would be in forested in pub'ishing Valiant's thesis. ' i. - ,The theseis was then written in a form suitable for publication Jhd was finally published in the World Dairy Congress issue in June, 1958. The thesis was originally written as one of the requirements of the graduate school at Cornell uni versity. Research on the thesis as begun in the fall of 1957 and was completed in July, 1958.

Lava Erupts From Crater On Hawaii HONOLULU (UPH A single lava fountain erupted from the south wall of the crater of Kila- uea Ike today, shooting streams of molton rock and sulpher stream 150 to 200 feet into the air.
