S t e e I v; o r k e r s Move T o Rally
Support for Quick Agreement
Pittsburgh (U.P.) Leaders
of the CIO United Steelworkers
moved Saturday to rally rank-and-file
support behind a drive
for speedy settlement of the un
ion's wage demands1 on the steel
industry.
The drive started after USW
President David J. McDonald
was reported to have spurned
any "nickels and dimes" in
crease. Urg Campaign
McDonald urged the membership-wide
campaign for agree
ments before the looming June
30 strike deadline in a meeting
with his negotiating teams Fri
day, following the completion of
preliminary wage negotiations
with the nation's six- largest
makers of steel.
During the meeting, McDon
ald was reported to have told
his aides that the big producers
might try to answer the USW's
arguments for a "substantial"
pay boost with an offer of only
714 cents an hour. It was said
he declared that the union
would turn down such an offer
as inadequate. McDonald was
quoted at warning:
Substantial Incraasa
"We want a substanial in
crease and will not accept nick
els and dimes."
According to reports, the un
ion chief said he "had a feel
ing" the big steel producers
might propose an increase
matching a boost in hourly base
pay and cost-of-living adjust
ments won by tha CIO Automo
bile workers from the Ford Mo
tor Co. As part of a union-estimated
20-cent-an-hour package
that also provided for an his
torical guaranteed annual wage.
It was believed that the steel
workers, seeking to capitalize on
the steel industry's current rec
ord earnings and near-capacity
production, viewed 20 cents as
a legitimate target for an
hourly cash increase. Last year
the USW received a five-cent-an-hour
boost, plus other benefits.
Taft-Hartley Provision
McDonald was understood to
have spurred the drive for quick
settlement because of a reluct
ance to risk an 80-day strike de
lay under fact-finding provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law. He said
he expected the major producers
who bargained with the union
here for four days to return with
their replies and offers June 20.
That would leave only 10 days
until McDonald could call a
strike should no settlement be
reached.
The smallest of the "Big Six"
steelmakers, Inland steel opened
and recessed preliminary talks
with the union Friday. Inland
had been preceded to the bar
gaining table by U. S. Steel,
Bethlehem, Republic, Jones and
Laughlin and Youngstown Sheet
and Tube.
Agreements with the six were
expected to set the pattern for
wage increases to 600,000 USW
members in basic steel and an
other 600,000 employed by steel
fabricating concerns.
The union opened negotiations
with two of the 90 smaller firms
in basic steel, Allegheny-Lud-lum
and Pittsburgh Steel, Fri
day. Talks with the other firms
through out the country were to
begin next week.
Oregon Congressmen 'Stunned'
(By PSsapprovaD off EDam Funds
Washington (U.R) Oregon
congressmen Saturday said they
were "stunned" and "puzzled"
by tha failure of the House Ap
propriations committee to ap
prove $500,000 in planning
funds for John Day dam on the
Columbia river.
Tha action, one of a series of
refusals or cuts in funds for Pac-
Portlsnd (U.R) Former
President Harry S. Truman
had but on brief comment
Saturday about tha Northwest
hydroelectric money bill re
ported out of a Housa Appro
priations committee Friday.
Ha said he didn't like it.
Ha added ha was convinced
tha bill which eliminated plan
ning funds for John Day dam
and ended any hopes for im
mediate new starts on North
west power dams, did not
represent Democratic think
ing on regional development.
lfie Northwest projects an
nounced yesterday, was not ex
plained by the, committee.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth, Repub
lican said ha was "puzzled, very
puzzled" by the action. Rep.
Sam Coon, also Republican, said
it showed the need for early ac
tion on his bill for partnership
construction of the dam.
Sen. Richard Neuberger,
speaking for Oregon's Democra
tic delegation described the fund
refusal as "a stunning blow for
the Pacific Northwest." He said
he would seek to have the mon
ey restored.
Tha committee also slashed
budgets for Tha Dalles and Chief
Joseph dams in acting on a
$123,000,000 building program
for dams, reclamation and har
bor improvement in the Pacific
Northwest.
A total appropriation of $1,
276, 218,242 was recommended
by the committee to run the
AEC, TV A Bonneville Power
Administration, eivil functions
of the corps of engineers, the
reclamation bureau and other
government agencies.
Could End New Start
Rejection of John Day and
Ice Harbor dams could mean an
end, for tha present, of any new
starts 'on federal hydroelectric
projects.
The committee sliced $2,000,-
000 from a requested $18,000
000 appropriation for Chief Jo
seph dam and recommended a
cutback to $58,000,000 frpm the
$63,500,000 asked for construc
tion of The Dalles locks and
dam.
A proposal to deepen the Co
lumbia river channel was reject
ed although appropriations . of
$11,000,000 for McNary dam and
$300,000 for Wllamette river
bank protection were left in
tact. Expenditures for the lower
Columbia river fish sanctuary
were lowered from $1,400,000 to
$900,000.

girls fled from Hillcrest school
for girls Friday night after
smashing a dormitory window
and threatening a staff member.
School officials said the three
started breaking furniture and
smashing windows on the sec
ond floor of the new administra

a house mother with a pair of
scissors and pushed her to the

get her keys. The girls then
broke a window leading to a
fire escape and fled by that
route.

ARRIVING IN LOS ANGELES W De commencement speaker at
University of Southern California, Gjv. Allan Shivers, Texas, is

said "I believe in free speech," in discussing protests by some

Shivers Asks Patience for
......
Sectional Philosophies in
Controversial USC Address
Los Angeles (U.R) Gov. Al
lan Shivers of Texas Saturday
pleaded for patience and under
standing of sectional philosophies
in a' college commencement
speech before students who had
opposed his appearance because
of his views on segregation of
Negroes. v
Shivers was main speaker at
University of Southern Califor
nia's commencement exercises in
which 3116 students received
diplomas. He was given an hon
orary doctor of laws degree
Questioned Qualifications
The USC Senate protested his
appearance because of his stand
on segregation and thus ques
tioned his qualification to make
the speech
A threatened boycott of the
exercises failed to materialize
Officials said all students who
previously ordered caps and
gowns showed up. The group
was quiet as the governor began
his address,
Earlier, in nearby Beverly
Hills, about 100 students from
six Southern California colleges
demonstrated with placards
chastising Shivers but there was
no disorder. Several carloads of
police were on the scene
Shivers began his address by
commenting "It is a rare privi
lege to address you." He then
spoke on concepts of Ameri
canism, noting that the nation
"is moving, inevitably, and vis
ibly, toward the standard of one
nation . . .with one set of na
tional ideals, values common at
titudes and interests."
Shivers said that in a nation of
equals "no region has, or can
have, the right to disregard the
interests of other regions, nor to
deprive them of independence.
The governor said as the na
tion is drawn closer together "we
now prudently rely upon shal
low stereotypes or easy labels
to guide us in our thinking
about other regions, other peo
pie or ideas. We must look be-
State Grangers End
Convention; Oppose
School Fund Change
Klamath Falls U.R) The
Oregon state Grange convention
adjourned about 9 p.m. Friday1
night after adopting several reso
lutions including one opposing
any change in the apportionment
formula of the basic school sup
port fund,
The Grange reversed its pol
icy in a resolution on state ap
portionment of senators and
representatives. T r a ditionally,
the Grange has supported ap
portionment on a population
basis, but Friday's action would
give one senator to each county
and apportion representatives on
a population basis.
Following a three-and-one-balf
hour debate, a resolution oppos
ing a state sales tax was adopted.
Dave Ray Gill, former member
of the state legislature and cur
rent member of the state Grange
executive committee, spoke in
opposition to the tax. Grangers
attacked the tax as unjust and
not based on ability to pay.
Other resolutions approved a
graduated income tax, favored
giving all wheat farmers the
right to vote in support price
elections regardless of ' their
acreage allotment, and came out
for a definite maximum speed
law on Oregon highways.
RIGHT RESTORED
Vienna : (U.R) The United
States, Britain, Russia and
France have restored full civil
aviation rights to Austria. The
four - powered Allied Council
Friday lifted the ban which had
existed since World War II,
thereby permitting Austria to
operate its own commercial air
lines and other air traffic.
Demos AssaH Benson Decision on Wheat
Price Controls; Supports Average $1.81
Washington U.R) - Con
gressional Democrats Saturday
assailed Agriculture Secretary
Ezra T. Benson's decision to set
wheat price controls at the low
est level since 1946.
They said it indicates he is
trying to destroy the farm pr.
gram.
The new parity level was .an
nounced Friday just after . the
Agriculture Department's : Crop
Reporting Board estimated the
1956 crop at 845,000,000 bush
els, the smallest since 1943.
Minimum Average $1.81
The department said the new
support level will be 76 per cent
of parity. This means price sup
port loans will be available to
growers in commercial wheat
states at a national minimum av
erage of $1.81 a bushel.
Comparable figures for the
1955 crop are $2.06 a bushel bas
ed on 81V4 per cent of parity.
Chairman Harold D. Cooley,
(D-N.C), of the House Agricul
ture committee, said the price
support announcement "is pretty
positive evidence that Benson in
tends to destroy the farm pro
gram." Farmers Disappointed
"It is a clear indication," Cool
ey said, "that Mr. Benson util
mately will lower the price of
every farm commodity in Am
erica and force a lot of people
off farms and into the city
streets to look for jobs."
Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.),
number two Democrat on the
committee, said Benson may
have figured "this was a good
wav to defeat controls, and it
may very well have that result'
he said.
"A farmer allowed only three
fourths of a fair price, and only
three fourths of a crop, can't be
expected to b very happy about
it." ;
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey,
(D-Minn.), called the announce
ment "almost unbelievable" and
said it "will be disastrous for
American agriculture." He pre
dicted it will lead to rejection
of marketing quotas.
A department official explain
ed that despite the low crop
estimate, "there is still too much
wheat compared with what nor
mally is necessary for domestic
and foreign consumption." He.
said the short crop added to a
whopping carryover meant a
huge total supply which simply
forced the parity level down.
