Industry Wage Spiral "Washington -CPD- President Eisenhower strongly appealed to the steel industry today to avoid a price increase which might lead to an inflationary wage-price spiral. 1 The President told his news conference that normally it was not the function of the federal government to inject itself into collective bargain ing. But he said he could not keep silent in the face of .what a reporter described as union labor plans for a steel strike this summer. Out of Character Eisenhower said It would be completely out of character for him to wash his hands of this issue like a Potinus Pi late. He said if the United States was going to continue on the road of a prospective, free economy, the price of steel Rescuers Seek More Bodies in Oklahoma Blast Oklahoma City, Okla. -UPD-Rescue teams dug through tons of debris without hope today of finding alive the two - men missing in a violent ex ' plosion at Wilson meat pack ing plant. Five persons were killed and 16 injured, five critically, Tuesday when a heavy ice making machine on the seventh floor ripped loose and plunged to the basement tear ing loose ammonia lines that enveloped workers in a fog of deadly gas. Feared Crushed Workers feared that James Mcintosh and Claude Wilkin son, both of Oklahoma City, were crushed under the wreck age or drowned in water that filled the basement of the huge meat packing plant Their deaths would raise the count to seven killed. A spokesman at the plant said there was little doubt that the men were dead. If tney weren't dead or drowned, the ammonia would have gotten them by this time," he said. Gigantic Puzzle Firemen said rescue teams have to handle their job like a gigantic jig-saw puzzle and pull the wreckage apart piece by piece. "One wrong move could send more wreckage crashing into the pile they believe covers the missing men. . Known to be dead are Paul D. Ferrell, 25, Santos Sota Miranda, 61, and Ronald Por ter, 30, all of Oklahoma City, and Reuben McDowell, 46, and Harmon Simmons of Mustang, Okla. must not go up and thus lead to demands for higher wages. The President made no di rect reference to steelworkers dropping wage increase de mands. He said the impending wage-price picture in steel made it necessary for labor and management to exercise the fullest qualities of eco nomic statesmanship in deal ing with their differences. Atomic Bomb Report The President's 10th meet ing with newsmen this year provided these other high lights: -The government this after noon will make an extensive scientific report on the results of Project Argus. This was the Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Havana, Cuba-Actor Errol Flynn, replying when asked why he did not eject Cuban tourist policeman Jack Shea from a party that Flynn said Shea crashed in a drunk and disorder ly fashion: "I'-i a hero in all of my films, but I will not argue into the barrel of a .45, particularly when held by a drunk." Dallas, Tex.-Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, saying that the West must increase its strength and have the capacity to settle more than just one crisis such as Bejlin: "We will not be secure in our freedom until we have the strength to settle more than Berlin." London-Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, urging both East and West to strive for settlement of world issues by negotiations: "We should not really be striving for a victory for one side or the other. What we must seek is victory for common sense." Ventura, Calif.-Elizabeth Duncan, on her chances of ap pealing her conviction on first degree murder charges for the hired killing of her daughter-in-law: "I think I have a good chance." Washington-Labor Secretary James P.

Congress Works on Last-Minute Details Prior To Recess Florence Chamber Opposes Dunes Park Florence -(UPD- The Florence Chamber of Commerce Tues day came out in opposition to a plan that would turn the sand dunes and the coastal lakes into a national park preserve. The board said the proposal would remove so much pro perty, from the tax roles that the local school district would be bankrupt. Sen. Richard Neuberger (D Ore.), said last Friday that he would propose a bill to turn the dunes and the Sea Lion Caves into national park areas. MRS. WRIGHT DIES Santa Monica, Calif. - (UPD , Private funeral services were held Tuesday for Mrs. Cath erine Lloyd Wright, 87, the first wife of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and grandmother of actress Anne Baxter. Mrs. Wright died early Tuesday at a sanitarium where she had been confined for the past 10 years after being in jured in a fall. Washington -UPD- Congress planned to clear up some last minute legislative details to day before embarking on a 10-day Easter recess. In the Senate, approval was expected of a three-month ex tension of the emergency un employment compensation program. senate passage would send the bill back to the House for transmittal to President Eisenhower before benefits expire April 1 for 405,000 idle workers. Called up for House debate and probable swift approval was President Eisenhower's request for an immediate $1, 375,000,000 contribution to the International Monetary Fund. Senate Specifies The Senate specified last week that the money couldn't be taken from the Treasury until the new fiscal year starts July 1. That would rule out any hope for a balanced budget in fiscal 1960. For this reason the House was expected to turn thumbs down on the Senate plan and vote to withdraw the money in the current fiscal year. The House and Senate votes were due to trigger a rush of legislators on their Easter re cess, which doesn't begin of ficially until Thursday. It will be the first break in the 86th Congress after 11 weeks of near-record work. Other Congressional News Oil: Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) said he would intro duce legislation to rescind President Eisenhower's recent order imposing mandatory quotas on certain types of oil imports. He said Eisenhower's recent order was "just the lat est instance in a series of im mense political privileges for oil featured by the lushest tax giveaways any American in dustry has ever enjoyed."

Cardiac Club Member -Asked whether he thought Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson was well qualified to be a presidential candidate next year and whether Johnson would be difficult for the Republicans to beat, Eisenhower answered crisply that the Texas Demo crat had been his warm per sonal friend for years and, like himself, belonged to the Cardiac Club. This was a ref erence to the fact that both had suffered heart attacks. -He said there has been a great deal of guerrilla fight ing against the Communists in Tibet and it is obvious that the people there are disturbed andjrestive under Communist control. The Chinese Commu nists have had to bring in re inforcements to deal with the situation. But reports are so sketchy that little more than this can be deduced. -Eisenhower said a continu ing government study of oil import quotas was necessary to prevent the price of oil from going so high that it en dangered national security.
