Top executives of the striking CIO Steelworkers Union and ma jor steel firms meanwhile were tailed: to the White House for re newed peace talks Thursday. The call to the White House ne- Ijotiations, quickly accepted by un on and industry, came when it appeared the disputants were about to get together on their own, without government aid. The Tru man administration thus kept its hand in the tangled situation. The storm on Capital Hill was concentrated in the Senate, where: 1. Sen. May bank D-SC proposed a 120-day ban on strikes in defense-important industries, with a seven-man board empowered to recommend dispute settlement terms. The government could seize an Industry if the board's terms , were not accepted. 2 The Senate voted 42-41 with Vice President Barkley voting to break a 41-41 tie - to retain the present three-way Wage Stabiliz ation Board set-up of public, la bor and industry members, but make them subject to Senate con firmation. Nearly 725.000 workers were idle as a result of the steel strike. Steel supplies were generally mple for the moment. However, government officials warned that some defense work, particularly let aircraft production, may be hampered quickly. Gen. Eisenhower Invited to Testify WASHINGTON (P-Geh. Dwight D.

They snatched a woman from the Spandau Woods, in the British sector, and hustled their scream ing victim into the Soviet Zone before West Berlin riot police could answer the alarm. Neighbors said the woman had been living in Eiskeller, a suburb the Russians seized this week. A few " hours later the second German woman was kidnapped from the streets of Hermsdorf, in the French sector, and taken across the boundary. She was hauled off by three Soviet soldiers and three policemen. Russian soldiers fired warning bursts to emphasize to West Ber lin police their claim to a burial ground on the French sector bor der in tightening a security belt around West Berlin. The French intervened and both sides agreed to submit the dispute to the Big Four com manders in the city Thursday. The U. S. military policeman was grazed and his Jeep damaged by a bullet fired by an East Ger man border guard. The Americans protested swiftly to the Russians. Court Confirms Death Sentence An Oregon Supreme Court rul ing Wednesday that this state's death penalty is valid confirmed a death sentence against Frank Oliver Payne, 49, for the holdup killing of H.

(;p-Dwight D. Eisenhower's home town saw not one but three very different men Wednesday when it welcomed him back to tho place where he grew up. One was a nostalgic, slightly sentimental man, gazing fondly through the elm trees lining the old back yard, reminiscing, and using his memories to illustrate what he wanted to aay. The second was the old crony, back on main street, comfortable, relaxed, capering, clowning, and happy to bo seeing tho neighbors again. And the third was the political candidate, a man with the wraps off now. jut-pawed and plainly ready for a fight. Eisenhower's mood shifter! nH changed more abruptly than the iicKie weatner over the Kansas plains. There were deep lines around his mouth and eyes when he stepped off the train. Some of the luster was gone from his cele brated smile, as he came through the waiting crowds, holding Mrs. Eisenhower by the arm. His ges tures were mechanical. He seemed concerned about something. A few moments later, when he spoke of his parents, the timber of his voice changed. It grew husk ier. A warm, throaty quality blurred the Kansas accent he has never lost. His Own Life Two hours later, he was stand ing on a balcony of the Sunflower Hotel, watching a parade. His own life was the theme. The gold and silver-foil floats illustrated his schools, his appointments, his war years, his marriage. There, for more than an hour, he kept the Jam-packed crowds below laughing and applauding with his antics. He grinned, waved his arms, called out quips to the people below, signed autograph books as they were tossed up from the streets, bounced on his toes to the parade music of the bands. He was a picture of happy, perpetual motion. Man of Polities Then there was another Eisen hower, the man in politics. His main speech, delivered late in the afternoon on the heels of a pelting rain, touched on prac tically every issue that has already been thrust into the Republican and Democratic campaigns for nomination. Some of the spelling out of issues may be expected to appear Thursday morning when Eisen hower meets the press in a major news conference. Stock Market At Year's High NEW YORK r;P-Tha stock mar ket reached a new high for the year Wednesday with railroads providing the big strength. In the background of that lead ership were a number of highly favorable factors that were en at or better than face value by Wall Street bulls. KineDin of the rise was Atlantic Coast Line railroad which added at 115H. The road has shown good earn ings, and at the same time there were renewed hopes of a stock split. Other rail gainers included Southern Pacific 2 at 79 Ti. I The Associated Press averan of 60 stocks gained $1.40, the second best advance this year. It now stands at $104 50 high for 1952 and the highest since Sept. 10, 1930. The railroad component of the average also reached a new 1952 high with a gain of $2.40.

Soybeans on Price Elevator CHICAGO (JF) - Soybeans ex ploded for gains of 10 cents, the daily limit in a hectic buying rush on the board of trade Wednesday. Rye also became quite strong, but the rest of the market did nothing. Harried brokers in the soybean pit, overwhelmed with orders, said the market had "gone crazy. The buying came in good part from those who were short on the market and were highly disturbed by news some of the limited sup plies of cash beans at this ter minal had been moved out. Wheat closed unchanged to lower, corn lower to Vi higher, oats higher, rye 3V4to 5 cents higher, soybeans 9tb to 10 cents higher and lard 2 cents lower to 10 cents a hundred pounds higher.

Eis enhower, in his political speaking debut here Wednesday, said the course America has chosen to com bat Communism is a courageous one, but "the mystery must be re moved from foreign relations our essential requirements and objec tives must be clearly set forth for us and all others to -read and to comprehend." With a reference to the Febru ary, 1945, meeting of President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church ill and Premier Stalin, at which Russia was granted secret conces sions in return for a promise to enter the war against Japan, Eis enhower said: "Americans instinctively and properly dread the kind of secrecy that surrounded Yalta." Eisenhower, accompanied by his wife Mamie, arrived here at 12:27 p.m. (CST), from Kansas City by a special train that had the trap pings of a campaign tour conven tion delegates, political leaders, re porters and photographers by the score. Slate-gray skies and an occa sional spatter of rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of some 25,000 people who gathered in a country-fair atmosphere to wel come home a favorite son of Kan sas. Abilene was decked out in flags and bunting and Eisenhower pic tures and the streets were dotted with hot dog, soft drink and sou venir stands. Eisenhower walked a few yards from the train almost to the back yard of his old homeplace and there took part in the laying of a cornerstone for a museum which will house his war trophies. Then he reviewed a colorful parade depicting the story of his life. 2 Hurt in Crash Of Motorbike A 42-year-old Gervals resident and his 14-yearoId ton were taken to a Silverton hospital Wednesday following a collision between the motorbike on which they were rid ing and an automobile.

He said the only bid for the lia bility and property damage insur ance has come from Dooly & Co Portland, bidding for General Casualty Co. It was for $124,939, compared with the $69,444 the same company is charging for the Insurance during the present fiscal year. The company told Dorman It was forced to boost the rate be cause of the increased cost of settling claims, more accidents, and bigger awards .by juries in damage cases. Dorman said the company lost money this year on the insurance. Illness Claims Con Who Was Wife's Target Richard Eoff, the prisoner whose wife shot at him through a Marion County jail window four years ago, is dead after a lingering illness at the Oregon State Penitentiary.

He had received reg ular treatment there, and at the State Tuberculosis Hospital. Warden Virgil O'Malley said Eoff had been critically ill for many months. The charge of which Eoff was convicted stemmed from a beating of Mrs. Lillian Gardner while she was showing a house to Eoff who was considering renting it. While he was in the county jaiL Eoff was shot at by his wife who has since died. Funeral arrangements are being made by Howell-Edwards Funeral Home with two sisters who live in other cities.
