Federal 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

Bartron has borrowed from
French, Italian, and Russian

his work, and has studied dra

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.
