About 1,000.000 workers have been made idle since the mine strike began Sep 19 and the steel walkout started October I. The president said he is depend ing on current conciliation efforts to spur the parties into settling the strikes directly among themselves.

Convicts Radioed Pleas for Freedom Halted in Mississippi PARCHMAN, Miss, Oct 20 -CP)-Frank Moody, Mississippi's broadcasting convict, is off the air. The 28-year-old convict's three radio transmitters, which he used in clandestine promotion of his efforts to gain legal freedom, have been dismantled and stored in the state prison safe. Warden Marvin Wiggins said today that Moody has been deprived of his trusty privileges and has been transferred to work- camp about eight miles from prison plantation' headquarters.

Penal ty for two escapes during his first four years ran the total to the half century mark.

The FCC localized the unlicens ed broadcasts to a 100 mile area and field crews did the rest. ' The federal men went to the trusty's ease at Parchman Sunday and Moody was summoned. All S Transmitters "He saw the game was up," Mc Kinney said, "grinned, and took us to his cot After we had ac quired the two transmitters there be took us to the little four by six guardhouse and pointed out the other one." For three weeks the field men monitored Moody's daily broadcast while Moody pushed his campaign to obtain an "indefinite suspension of sentence" from Governor Field ing L. Wright McKinney said. The governor's office in Jack son said that Moody had a petition for clemency on file. McKinney said the prison broad casts were beamed to persons in Pascagoula and Bucatunna, Miss. Warden Wiggins said it was his understanding that , the messages were going to a relative and "some one hot related to him." Wiggins said that Moody had taken a course in radio repairing and had been repairing radios for inmates and employes for several years.
