Ike's Retirement
Alter 1956 Seen
By Sen. Chase
Washington - OJ.R) Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith said to
day she thinks President Eisen
hower "prefers to retire after
1956."
Consequently, she warned Re
publicans against "putting all of
our eggs in one basket. We donf
want to lean too heavily upon
the Eisenhower popularity."
In a speech prepared for de
livery to 1500 women- attending
the annual Republican Women's
National Conference, the Maine
Republican emphasized that she
hopes "with all my heart" that
Mr. Eisenhower doesn't retire.
Wouldn't Blame Him
But she said "I'm not so sure
Dwight Eisenhower will seek re
election. My present impression
is that he prefers to retire after
1956. I certainly would not
blame him if he does."
. Mrs. Smith ssid the Republi
cans should "build up the popu
larity of our party." She said no
- one has spoken of this need more
"eloguently" and "played down
the indispensable man theme"
than President Eisenhower himself.
House Republican Leader Jo
seph W. Martin Jr., (R-Mass.) and
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson both reassured the Re
publican women on the admin
istration's "long range steady
plan of dealing with those who
seek to disturb the peace." .

Steelworkers Map
Demand on Industry
For Increase in Pay
Pittsburgh (U.R) The CIO
United Steelworkers, eyeing the
steel industry's sky-high earn
ings and record production, as
sembled the union's top policy
makers today to draw up de
mands for a "very substantial
wage increase."
The USW wage proposals, ex
pected to be announced this
afternoon or Thursday, will be
handed to the basic steel and ore
mining industries later this
month in negotiations covering
half the union's 1,200,000 mem
bers. Has Final Say
The union's executive board,
headed by President David J.
McDonald, met first and the
union's 1 70 - man wage policy
committee was to debate the en
tire Droeram at an afternoon ses
sion. The waee-nolicv erouD has
final say on all contract matters
and must okay all contract pro
posals and settlements. .
Union officials have served ad
vance notice they will submit
hefty wage demands on the
booming steel industry, which
was scheduled to break produc
tion records for the second con
secutive week with an output of
some 2,328,000 tons. The nation's
steel mills,, straining to keep up
with demands from automobile
manufacturers as well as other
industries, have posted produc
tion schedules at or near the 100
per cent of capacity mark for
weeks.
Wage Rates Only
The USW contract, under
which steelworkers draw an
average pay of $2.23 an hour, is
open this year for negotiation of
wage rates only. All other con
tract terms negotiated last year
remain in effect until June, 1956.
This eliminates, for all purposes,
negotiations on a guaranteed an
nual wage, an issue raised by
the USW previously and now
featuring auto industry contract
talks.
While one top USW official,
Secretary-Treasurer I. W. Abel,
warned local union officers this
week to "start conditioning" the
men in the mills for a wage bat
tle, industry and union observers
remained optimistic for a peace
ful contract settlement. The USW
can strike if no "agreement is
reached by midnight June 30.
; Offhand estimates of a possible
wage settlement range from
eight cents an hour up. No mat
ter what the size of the wage in
crease, if one is granted a re
sultant price boost was consid
ered a virtual certainty.
Indian Hunting
Suit To Be Filed
Klamath Falls (U.R) Com
plaints for a declaratory judg
ment and for an injunction to re
strain . interefernce with the
rights of the Klamath Indians to
hunt and trap on the Klamath
reservation will be filed in fed
eral court in Portland, -it was
announced yesterday by Tribal
Attorney J. C. O'Neill.
The action is the outgrowth of

mitted by or against Indians on
the reservation. Similar action
against the state has been filed
by the Umatilla Indians.

tion without restriction or con
trol by the state. The state
claims the right under public
law 280 to enforce state game
regulations on the reservation,

Vigil by Phone
For Missing Child
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The
mother of Stephanie Bryan
maintained a heart breaking vig
il by her telephone tdday, hop
ing against hope it would bring
news oz ner missing aaugnier.
Mrs. Charles S. Bryan Jr..
still insisted that Stephanie was
abducted on April 28 as she was
returning home from Willard
Junior high school.
Trick Suspected
"Maybe it was a man who
knew that Stephanie regularly
walked through the Claremont
Hotel parking lot and used a
trick to get her into his car, or
else he forced her in," Mrs. Bry-.
an said. "She never would have
gotten in of her own accord oth
erwise. I'm sure it was nobody
she knew."
Meanwhile, Stephanie's fath
er, a radiologist; returned to his
work, at Peralta hospital. 4 The
four other Bryan children, Rit
ledge, 10, Cheryl; 12, Estelle, 7,
and Beatrice 3, were at school or
with relatives. -
A widespread search of an
area off the Franklin Canyon
Road near Pinole failed yester
day to turn up a further clue to
Stephanie's disappearance. A
textbook belonging to the girl
was found in a field there last
Thursday.
Sweater Causes Stir
A brief flurry of excitement
came early last night when a
newspaper circulation driver
said he found a blue cardigan
sweater near the Claremont ho
tel. However, the sweater turned
out not to be Stephanie's.
Contra Costa County Sheriff
Harry A. Brown and Berkeley
Police Capt. Laurence Laird
said a search of the general
area between Orinda and Pinole
would be continued today.

tain of debris in a vain search

doubt that Lombardi was trap
ped by the tons of falling de
bris when the Coliseum's main
exhibition floor, still under con
struction, collapsed with a roar
and fell 20 feet to the ground
floor.
Lombardi apparently was the
only fatality in . the mishap,
which injured, 51 persons, none
of them critically.
