Talks on wages, length of con tract and time study were sched uled between company and union representatives this morn ing. No Appreciable Progress A 2V4 hqur session Tuesday brokeup without appreciable progress. It brought complaints from James B. Carey, IUE in ternational president, that com pany negotiators lacked "author ity to make a settlement," he said. : Robert D. Blasier, - company vice-president for industrial re lations who did not attend Tues day's session but led Westing house negotiators in previous meetings, denied the IUE chief's charges. ' "The negotiators who met with Mr. Carey . . . are fully authorized to make a settle ment," Blasier said. He said he was absent from the bargaining table because he was "working with others in dealing with the many employee and customer problems which have resulted from Mr. Carey's ill-advised and unwarranted strike." Full Powers A company spokesman said. Clark Frame, manager of indus trial relations who represented Blasier, held ' full negotiating powers. The strike began Sunday after the union rejected a company .of fer of a five-year contract calling for a total hourly wage increase of 23 Yz cents. The IUE has de manded a flat 15 cent hike in the current $2.10 average hourly wage" for one year.

It was the first time the President was permitted in a wheelchair. Newsmen Fear Ike's Illness May Scuttle Press Conference System - By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Newsmen fear President Eisenhower's ill ness may scutttle the White House press conference sys tem Radio, tele vision, maga zine and news paper rep ort- ers in Wash ington! enjoy "7 I and ci their her ish routine access to the Lyle C. Wilson chief of state which is not matched elsewhere. Some commentators on govern ment have compared the White House news conference with the British ' Parliament's question hour as a vital part of the gov ernmental process. 1 There nave been occasions not many when news confer ence questioners have forgotten T s?- Phone 2-5278 they were addressing the Presi dent of the United States. Red faced and angry, Mr. Eis enhower has pitched back at them. But the White House word long since was that he had come to enjoy his contacts with the news men and women. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty made the most of that and opened the weekly confer ences on television, with an op tion to determine what could be used. . Free Wheeling Affairs White House conferences are free wheeling affairs in which he President has been liberal with news despite a sometimes tendency to filibuster with an odd kind of doubletalk. Abandon ment of the White House news conference system -could reduce the flow of basic information to the public in a big wayi It is not likely that the Presi dent will be on his own end or curtail his meetings ' with the press and other "media. But Mrs. Eisenhower will have something to say about the President's way of life when he returns to the White House. And his doctors will posses an affective veto over exertions they may deem to be dangerous. There lies the threat to the news conferenc system and it seems to be a real one. The doctors know as does"" the President that a news conference is a heavy physical and mental burden. There has been no effort in Denver so far to discuss with Mr. Eisenhower the details of duty when he resumes his White House office, which is expected to be around Jan. 1. Nor will such details be discussed for some time. If the doctors decide .against news conferences, there is no substitute handy. Vice President .Richard M. Nixon would take on the chore if re quested to do so. But he would be on an explosive spot, subject to questions covering the whole area of national life. Presidents have embarrassed themselves by speaking out of turn under such circumstances, Demand Still Great For Agriculturists Brookings, 'S. D. (UKAl though today's agriculture re quires fewer people to produce the nation's food and fiber crops, there is- a greater . demand for trained agriculturists in the re lated fields of research, engi neering, marketing, and conser vation.- ' ' r i. A. M. Kber dean of agri culture at South Dakota State College said opportunities are practically unlimited for today's college graduate in agriculture. Eberle pointed out that spec ialists are needed to find new uses, new markets and better means of conserving our national resources. No one can better design a farm implement than a man with an education in agriculture. The dean said another rapidly expanding field is that of agri cultural education Many high schools in rural areas are ad ding courses in agriculture to their curriculums. Eberle based his outlook on figures in a recent survey con ducted by the Association of Land-grant Colleges and univer sities. The final results showed that there will be almost two openings for each agricultural graduate at the end of the 1956 school year. . ' Harry Dorman Insurance Service Co. 218 East 4th St. Phone 2-6217 Running Great Risks A vice president would be run ning far greater risks of putting his foot in his mouth and would have more trouble getting it out again than would the head man. White House chief of staff Sher man Adams, with his hour-by-hour access to the President, probably would be in a better position than Nixon to take the news conferences, if there must be a substitute. There is the possibility that the conferences might be put on a . written question basis with such to be submitted to the Pres ident and the answers to be brought back by some spokes man. That is something fit to give an old time Washington re porter the quivers and shakes; a frustrating paper curtain. The United Press paged cabi net officers to learn whether they would step up their con ference schedules if White House conferences were abolished. Several thought they might do that. On the whole, there seemed to be Willingness to do what might be possible to make up for an absence of White House conferences. But the hard fact is that there is no substitute for the President, in person with the last and authoritative word. - Reuther's Charge Slirs Bitterness At New Gaslle New Castle, Ind.. 4J.R) CIO President Walter P.- Reuther's charge that Gov. George N. Craig pulled a "double-cross" by failing to end martial law stirred up new bitterness today in strife torn New Castle. " New Castle was the scene of a gun battle between strikers and non-strikers at the Perfect Circle Corp. foundry Oct. 5, in which nine persons were wounded. Reuther, in Detroit, charged that Craig promised several days ago to remove National Guards men and reinstate civil law at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Opportunity Said Seen He telegraphed Craig: 'The only assumption which I and my associates from the United Auto Workers, and the Perfect Circle workers and CIO members gen erally can draw is that you sud denly have seen an opportunity to use to your own personal po litical advantage a collective bargaining dispute that exists only because a reactionary and recalcitrant management pre fers violence and bloodshed , to the peaceful and sensible proce dures of industrial democracy." Withholds Comment Craig who was in Chicago said he would not comment, until he read Reuther's statement for himself. Meanwhile, 300 of 600 guards men stationed In the area pre pared to go home by noon Thurs day on Craig's orders. Craig acted after the troop commander said he "feels he can police the area properly with fewer men." There will be no relaxation in martial law regulations, how ever. :'.'. DRIVER WANTED Bristol; R.
