EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed, May 1, 1963 Pig SA Steel Talks May Begin This Month Blough Hopeful of Averting Strike NEW YORK in Roger Blough ay he hopes the steel industry will get through expected wage contract negotiations this sum mer without e strike. Blough, t-rard chairman of U.S. Steel Corp., said he expects "serious discussions" with union leaders to begin this month. Apprehension over a possible strike prompted a flood of or ders from big steel users and sent production spiraling up ward without interruption in the last 13 weeks. Asked by a newsman about prospects, Blough said Tuesday: "I always hope there will be a satisfactory solution to both sides without any work stop page." , Informal Talks Informal union-industry talks have been proceeding through a joint human relations research committee meeting in Pitts burgh. Blough made . it clear he thinks they can blossom into serious bargaining with no for mal notice of a 1962 wage con tract reopening as provided for in that agreement The industrialist said he feels recent price rises on certain steel products will have little effect on the bargaining out come. "This price change alone isn't going to do what is necessary to correct the problems of the steel industry," Blough said. "I think the union understands this." , United Steclworkers President David McDonald said in Pitts burgh no decision has been made on whether to reopen contracts with the basic steel industry. Just before the news confer ence, U.S. Steel disclosed that January-March profits were the lowest for the first quarter of any year since 1948. 44 Cents a Share They amounted to $29,918,774, or 44 cents a share of common stock against $55,808,436 or 91 cents a share in the comparable 1962 period. This yield fell 6 cents a share short of covering "Big Steel's" regular quarterly dividend-- de- pue a reuutuuu oi me payment . whnlo " to 50 cents from 75 cents a share j y last October. Of major steel concerns, only National Steel Corp. reported a gain in first-quarter profits. Earnings of Bethelehem Steel Co., the No. 2 producer, plum meted 50 per cent Blough characterized the price increases of two weeks ago as "very modest." He said U.S. Steel cleared $112.6 million, or nearly four times the profit of the quarter ended March 31.

Portland Committee Cites Racial Inbalance in Schools PORTLAND (ffl A commit tee looking into the high per centage of Negro children in five Portland grade schools said Wednesday it will ask the Port land School Board to study what it calls the problems of racial imbalance It said it wants the board to find out how extensive the im balance is, what effect it has on children, and what ought to be done about it The Rev. Paul S. Wright, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, is chairman of the com mittee. He said the committee has found that Eliot Elementary School has a 99 per cent Negro enrollment; Boise 90 per cent; Humboldt and Highland 85 per cent and Holladay 65 per cent. "Each year," Wright said, "an increasing number of Portland children are graduated from elementary schools where the racial composition differs radi cally from that of the communt- A report from the committee said that studies in other com munities had shown "that the Negro child who attends what is substantially an overwhelm ingly Negro school in an over whelmingly white community feels separated that his status is inferior and this directly and negatively affects his edu cational achievemeants. The Portland situation, Wright said, was a matter of so-called de facto segregation: Segrega tion resulting from concentra tion of Negro residences in a relatively compact area. About 80 per cent of the Negroes in Portland there were 15,637 in 1960 live in five adjacent areas in the city's near north east side, he said. He said that the school board would be asked, at its May 13 meeting, to name a study group to look into the problem and to come ud with recommendations that could be put into effect in the fall of 1964.

House Demos Give Upon School Funds Aid Provisions Dropped From Measure WASHINGTON tin Demo cratic leaders of the House Ed ucation Committee have given up all hope this year for legis lation providing general federal aid to schools. They are drop ping it from the administra tion's education bill. Chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., and other rank ing Democrats have decided it would be futile to ask Congress now to provide aid for public elementary and high schools. They still hope, however, to keep most of the rest of Presi dent Kennedy's comprehensive education bill in one piece, de spite pressure from committee Republicans to concentrate on a single section aid to col leges. Abandonment of the proposal to make federal funds available to the states for public-school construction and teachers' sal aries marks the third straight year Kennedy has been unable to get a vote in the House on what he has called the heart of his education program. Religious and racial contro versies plus widespread oppo sition to the concept of federal aid to education have built up a formidable opposition that makes the House leadership re luctant to risk a floor flight The decision to dump the general school aid provisions was reached Tuesday at a meet ing of Powell and his subcom mittee chairmen. The committee leaders voted to try for an omnibus bill con taining seven sections, most of which expand or-continue ex isting programs. They include: A one-year ex tension of aid to school districts crowded because of federal in stallations, expansion of voca tional education, grants for edu cation of handicapped children, expansion to aid public librar ies, grants to improve the qual ity of teaching, strengthening of federal- s tate local cooperative educational research programs, and expansion of student -loan and other provisions of the na tional defense education act A program to aid construction of college academic facilities, which Republicans say should get highest priority, is to be Campaign Funds Proposal Greeted Coldly by Solons WASHINGTON HI Presi dent Kennedy's proposal that the federal government help finance political campaigns ap pears to have died. Kennedy urged Cuiigress Tuesday to study a plan under which the federal government would match all individual cam paign contributions of $10 or less in federal elections. A sampling of senators and representatives showed little support for the idea. There were some sharply hostile re actions. The plan was advanced last year in a report by a presiden tial commission on campaign costs. "I urge the Congress to study this approach, which would en courage party efforts in broad ening the financial base of presidential campaigns," Ken nedy said in a letter to the Sen ate and the House. He submitted no draft legis lation with his letter. He did, however, send Congress a bill to propose special tax benefits for political contributions and another to require fuller re porting of campaign financing. Identical bills were submitted last year but did not pass. Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee, called it an "utterly superficial approach." He also said it would be "very ineffective." Sen. Albert Gore. D-Tenn., former chairman of the elec tions subcommittee, said that "what is needed is limitations on campaign contributions and strict regulations of campaign expenditures." prepared as a separate meas ure. The administration, how ever, is opposed to having it considered separately, and a final decision has not been reached. Powell leaves June 3 for Eu rope as a delegate to a meet ing of the International LaDor Organization in Switzerland and hopes to nave the bill contain ing some, or all, of the provi sions out of his committee by then. That would leave the next move up to the House Rules Committee, which bottled up all education programs in 1961 and permitted only a college bill to get the floor last year. Bowles Approved WASHINGTON (UPD The Sen ate Foreign Relations Commit tee Tuesday approved the nomi nation of Chester Bowles to be ambassador to India. It now goes to the Senate. 100th Minuteman Installed at Base WASHINGTON WV-The 100th Minuteman solid-fuel, quick- shooting intercontinental missile was delivered to the Air Fore at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont, Tuesday, the Pentagon announced.

Between now and the end of this calendar year, intercontin ental ballistic missiles will ba delivered at the rate of one a day, Arthur Sylvester, Pentagon chief of information, said.
