Newspaper Page TextFederal Officials Move In To Combat Crippling Steel Shutdown Pittsburgh (U.R) Federal of ficials moved in on two fronts today to combat a crippling 10 day steel shutdown that brought about 40,000 coal miners into the growing ranks of sideline vic tims of the United Steelworkers strike. The federal government was expected today to initiate new peace efforts to bring together company and union negotiators. The Commerce Department's Business and Defense Services Administration ordered the handful of mills still operating to reserve a larger share of their production for defense purposes. The government actions came as the United Mine Workers end- Socialist Parly Scores Upset in Japan Elections Tokyo (U.R) The opposition Socialist party scored a major upset in Sunday's nationwide elections, according to complete returns today, dashing the Con 'jervative government's hopes of revising Japan's "No War" con stitution to permit full rearma ment. 13 Seats Picked Up The unofficial returns showed that the anti-rearmament Social ist had picked up 13 seats in the upper chamber, for a total of 50. With their allies, and their 31 seats not up for election, the Socialists controlled more than one-third of the seats in the 250 man house. Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoy- ama's Conservatives and their al lies, the Green Breeze party, needed to capture two-thirds of the seats to ram through the amendment Drogram backed by the United States which would permit Japan to rearm. Liberals Hold Own The government Liberal-Democratic party held its own in the voting, winning 60 seats, which added to the 61 incumbents, gave it a total of 121 a loss of one. But the middle-of-the-road Green Breeze party suffered a smashing setback, losing 12 of the 17 seats it held that were up for election. One of the biggest surprises was the heavy Communist vote. The Communists rolled up their biggest popularity count since the 1949 elections. The 1,149, 000 votes more than doubled the 558,806 total in the 1953 elec tions. But only two of the 34 Communist candidates won seats, including party first secretary Sanzo Nosama. Neil Davidson Named Knife, Fork Head Neil Davidson was elected president of the Rogue Valley Knife and Fork club at a meet ing of the new board of directors yesterday noon. He has servea as vice president this year, and succeeds Eric Allen Jr. as president. R. W. Gray was named vice president, and Mrs. Scott Heath erington was elected secretary- treasurer. Mrs. Heatherington succeeds Mrs. Edith Eden, who has served the club in that posi tion for the past eight years. Members of the board voiced their appreciation to Mrs. Eden for her long and efficient serv ice to the club. She is giving up the position so she can devote more time to other activities, she said. - New board members, elected by the club's membership earlier this year, are Mrs. T. V. Wil liams, William Barker and Dr. Scott Heatherington. Retiring members are Frank Van Dyke, Dunbar Carpenter and Allen. ed their annual 12-day vacation. UMW officials estimated 40,000 miners at steel company-owned captive" coal operations were today greeted by layoffs or. at best, shorter work weeks when they returned to the pits. Transport Field Hit In other steel-dependent indus tries, particularly the transpor tation field, the steel strike has already forced 65,000 to 90.000 layoffs. Striking millworkers number 650,000. Sources in Washington said Federal Mediation Director Jo seph F. Finnegan has been in contact with union and company representatives in hopes of ar ranging new bargaining talks. The sides have not met together since negotiations collapsed in New York six hours before the strike began at 12:01 a.m. July 1. The federal agency was ex pected to announce joint talks would resume this week. The site for the session was not fixed, but Washington was believed to be the most likely place. USW President David J. Mc Donald was in Washington at tending a meeting of the AFL CIO Executive Board. The strike, which has cut off 87 per cent of the nation's steel production, continued to sap the country's economy. More Thousands Idled A United Press spot survey showed 22,000 workers, includ ing 14,000 strikers,, were strike idled in Michigan. .Washington state officials reported 1,740 workers off the job, 290 allied industry victims. Alabama had 26,100 steelworkers and 5,500 sideliners out of work because of the walkout. About 1,000 coal miners today joined the 9,000 millworkers af fected by the strike in Colorado. About 1,400 steel - dependent workers in Missouri have been idled. Pennsylvania had 202.900 out of work because of the strike, including 185.800 strikers, 11, 200 furloughed railroad workers and 5,900 . laid-off in steel-dependent industries. , State officials in Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho and Nebraska re ported no noticeable impact on employment in their states thus far. But leaders in New Mexico said the steel shutdown had forced an indefinite delay in the new highway construction pro- Pantomime Slated At Southern Oregon Ashland One of the oldest and least known of. theater arts, pantomine, will be depicted by Harry Bartron at the Southern Oregon college assembly at 2 p.m., July 11, in Churchill hall. Though scheduling difficulties encountered by the actor-panto-minist may result in the chang ing of the date, Hugh G. Simp son, assembly director, said any change would be publicized to allow townspeople and students to attend. There will be no ad mission charge. Bartron has borrowed from French, Italian, and Russian schools of classic pantomine for his work, and has studied dra matic theory at Xavier univer sity; characterization and recital technique with J. Bradley-Grif fin, Chicago; and dancing with Ivan Fehnova, formerly of the Imperial Ballet at Petrograd. NOT FOR THE BANK Niagara Falls, N. Y. U.PJ Patrolman John Gross, stopping a motorist for a traffic violation, found difficulty in understand ing the man's speech. He opened a glove compartment to find identification and out spilled $10 and $20 bills. The total was S8.890. The motorist, who re mained anonymous, said he didn't believe in banks. gram authorized by Congress. Federal Order Varies To prevent a curtailment of military production, the govern ment ordered still-operating steel mills to set aside additional steel supplies for companies with de fense orders. The government order varies from mill to mill with the in crease as much as 600 per cent for some vital materials. The average is about 200 per cent in crease in "set-asides." Earlier in the strike the government clamped down on warehouses, directing them to freeze certain types of steel needed for defense projects. McKay Tours Plants On Prineville Stop Prineville U.R) Douglas McKay continued his campaign swing through central Oregon today. He stopped here long enough to tour industrial plants and tell Republican backers that "I'm going to win this race."

I expect to do it." The former interior" secretary was scheduled to visit Mitchell, Dayville, Mt. Vernon, Canyon City and John Day today.
